Best French Bakery in Pott Shrigley

"Sheffield's prodigious industrial heritage is the subject of this excellent museum, set on a human-made island in the city's oldest industrial district. Exhibits cover all aspects of industry, from steel-making to knife-sharpening. The most impressive display is the thundering 12,000-horsepower River Don steam engine (the size of a house), which gets powered up twice a day, at noon and 2pm. The museum is 800m north of the city centre; take the tram (£1.70) from Sheffield train station to the Shalesmoor stop."

"Pay a visit to the Kelham Island Museum for a taste of the industrial history of Sheffield. The museum is located on a man-made island by the River Don, which runs through the city. In 1829, an iron foundry was built on this island and later converted into a power station."

"The Great Northern branch of Home Sweet Home offers an afternoon tea with a difference. As well as a selection of loose leaf teas or coffees and a tier of mini open bagels with maple cured BLT and smoked salmon, there is also a tier of fresh churros. The warm Spanish style doughnuts are dusted with cinnamon sugar and Dreamcheese frosting and served with warm Nutella dip and fresh strawberries."

"Designed to make you feel right at home, Home Sweet Home is open until 11pm, making it a nice late-night option for coffee lovers.

"This place really does feel like home, or rather an American Grandma’s home. It’s Grandma in the USA, in Manchester. Floral wallpaper, little framed pictures dotted on the wall, the smell of fresh baking; you feel welcome as soon as you step through the door."

"Tamper pride themselves on bringing the best of New Zealand’s culture to Sheffield, and I won’t lie, they do it pretty well. They’re located right between the Sheffield Hallam Owen and Cantor building, so even if you want to go mid-week for a quick catch up brunch with coursemates, you don’t have to wander far (if you go to Hallam that is!). Sometimes the worry with brunch is that it can be quite pricey, but I’d say Tamper is student-budget-friendly."

"Bringing a taste of New Zealand to Sheffield, Tamper Sellers Wheel has become one of the city’s choice destinations for everything from coffee and cake, to a hearty brunch. The place is always packed to the rafters and it’s easy to see why with the quality on offer. Stop by to try the fantastic selection of tasty coffee on offer; as well as the wonderful array of homemade treats; which are always varied and tasty."

"Tamper is devoted to the quality of its coffee; its beans are roasted locally in Yorkshire and the cafe works together with the local Cat Bakery to produce freshly baked goods. With a large range of breakfast and brunch dishes, Tamper Coffee is the perfect spot to enjoy a relaxing, coffee-induced breakfast among exposed brickwork in casual surroundings."

"Having just come second for ‘Best Cheap Eats’ in the North, in The Guardian Observer Food Monthly Awards, tucked away just off the indie metropolis that is Division Street, Steam Yard is rapidly becoming one of the most popular places in the city for great coffee and donuts. Inhabiting what used to be an old silverworks building, it is positioned at the back of a pretty courtyard between a tattoo parlour and costume shop. There is an intimate café atmosphere both inside and outside, where you can really take in the aesthetic of the traditional building."

"On a cold winter’s day, there are few more heartening sights out in Sheffield than Steam Yard’s steaming coffee and welcoming interior. It’s little wonder that they’ve been recognised inside and outside the city for their quality. In addition to their great range of carefully-sourced coffee, Steam Yard also offers a fantastic range of accompanying baked goods too (including cheesecake brownies and intriguing kronuts)."

"If you’re looking for a stopover for a quick coffee and a croissant in the morning, this bakery turned café has everything a coffeeholic would ask for. Make sure you visit during non-peak times as it can get quite busy during lunch and breakfast hours. Try the tiffin, it’s one of the best bakes they have to offer."

"With the main space in the Northern Quarter and a funky outpost in one of Hatch’s shipping containers, this sleek coffee shop is an ode to Scandinavia. The owners are obsessed with all things Nordic (particularly Reykjavik), so opened this ode to the region complete with the house Nordic Style espresso (roasted by Clifton Coffee in Bristol), cosy ‘hygge’ vibes and trendy baristas. At the Oxford Road shop, there’s a more contemporary Scandinavian them, with a turquoise coffee machine, plenty of blonde wood and funky grey tiles create a calm backdrop to enjoy your coffee, or purchase one of the handy reusable cups and get an iced coffee to take away."

"With three shops across Manchester, this Icelandic-inspired independent coffee shop is definitely popular with the locals (including me!). The artisan coffee shop is another perfect spot to sit down with your laptop and get some work done while sipping away on some of the tastiest coffees in Manchester: TAKK knows their coffees. Their house roast is a single-origin coffee from Finca Miravalle in El Salvador and they feature some of the best guest-roasts from all across Europe."

"This quaint little coffee shop is perfect if you need a caffeine boost, located on Chesterfield Road, That Place have a mouth-watering breakfast menu. If you fancy a breakfast sandwich, we’d recommend a simple sausage and egg sandwich to tickle your taste buds. Why not try a smoked salmon & scrambled egg bagel if you’re in the mood for something a little lighter?"

"Unit 3c Wing Yip Business Centre, Cassidy Close, Manchester M4 5HU. The massages at the Youth Sanctuary include hot stone, Swedish and Thai. The staff are fully trained in techniques and they can offer both classic and contemporary treatments for men and women."

"This Didsbury pizza place had already proove-d itself on the classic pizza front but has recently really stepped up its vegan game too. Not content with a token ‘vegan cheese optional’ footnote, instead a whole menu of vegan pizzas ‘designed by vegans for vegans’ has joined the party. Choose from nine pizzas from the basic Margherita to wildcards like the Art-Beet with basil, beetroot and artichokes or La Contadina with green pea base, sauteed cabbage, capers, vegan Mozzarella and pistachios."

"This Aussie-owned independent coffee shop serves an excellent roast from Big-Smoke-based Ozone, but these guys offer more than just a great cup of coffee. They also hold the title for some of the most Instagrammed brunches in Manchester. Ever since smashed avo has been a thing, their fresh and locally sourced eats have never failed to disappoint – which is probably why it often has people queuing out the door."

"A popular spot among Mancs for both coffee and brunch, Federal Cafe & Bar has an array of coffees on offer for both drink-in or takeaway. But in addition to their high-quality coffees, the much-loved cafe also serves Australian fave Hot Milo, as well as hot drinks such as beetroot latte, turmeric latte and matcha green tea. Basically, it’s a haven for hot drinks."

"Federal Cafe is best known for their weekend brunches when customers cram in and queues are often out the door. Their coffee though stands on its own as one of the best cups in the city. Throw in great cocktails and there really is something for everybody here."
