I love this place!…read more On a Saturday lunchtime it was heaving, though thankfully we were able to be seated straight away. Next to a blazing hot radiator. It was a fairly pleasant day in early September so I'm not convinced having the heating on full blast was totally necessary, and my sister kept accidentally catching her arm on it. That's not much of a complaint though, just an odd observation. I love the look and feel of the place, especially the drawings on the far wall. I mentioned to my sister that I thought it was affiliated with Federal in Manchester. She asked one of the staff who told her they're totally independent of each other but that the owner of Tamper helped the guys from Federal set up. This really shows in the decor, atmosphere and menu of both places. We each ordered a flat white. When they arrived they were lovely to look at, and delicious too. My sister ordered the Big Ozzie breakfast, and I ordered the smashed avocado on sourdough with poached eggs and halloumi. My dish was really beautifully presented. It came with a sweet chilli cucumber salsa, which is not necessarily something I would have chosen to go with the dish, but worked really well. My sister really enjoyed her breakfast as well. I tried a bit of the sausage patty and the hash brown and they were both delicious, really nicely seasoned. We didn't have any cake as we were fit to burst but there was a huge selection and everything looked lovely. I would definitely return and would recommend.

We may have made the mistake of going shopping after Christmas. Not Boxing Day, but still a…read moremistake. I blame Mr. Snarky as he didn't do shopping for my birthday gift when he did Christmas shopping. When we first came into the mall, we stopped to talk about where and when to meet up and I noticed Coffika... a new cafe where there used to be a Costa. After doing some shopping, we met up, but Mr. Snarky said that there were queues of traffic and suggested we stop at one of the cafes and wait a bit when traffic might ease up. I suggested we try Coffika, especially as this was right next to the exit we had parked near. They have some lovely sandwiches, unique cold drinks (Root Beer and Cream Soda), and obviously some very nice looking cakes :). I decided to have tea and noticed that they had cakes resembling Lamingtons... which I only knew about because Work BFF (remember her?!) had told me about them. So I decided to try the Sour Cherry and Pistachio one... although they had called it something else... scrummington maybe? Anyway, Mr. Snarky decided on a slice of the Victoria Sandwich. There are some tables and chairs downstairs, or you could retreat to the quiet and calm of upstairs... not many people know it is there. Upstairs there are sofas and coffee tables. I didn't try the Victoria Sandwich, but the lamington was really nice. It was so moist and I liked the Pistachio flavour, I just think it could have done with a few more sour cherries on top. The chocolate on the outside was really nice and probably helped keep the cake moist. I noticed they also had one in a coffee flavour... so I will probably be back. It is a nice change from all of the coffee chains in the mall and I would highly recommend it.

Starbucks' in the Meadowhall has been recently done up, it is a small store but they is seating…read moreoutside however I don't like this approached as it can feel quite small with queuing to get your drinks, they have far better stores which are bigger to accommodate this in the Manchester Arndale which proves they know how to do it. This is quite a nice store however towards the top of the Meadowhall, with views of the sun and Boost across the way. My coffee was not the best I have had from Starbucks, they wasn't alot of maple on and it had already started to melt slightly before I took the photo, I guess. You can earn Starbucks Cards, like at most others stores. They do have a small section of food and memorabilia. The staff were okay but they didn't really stand out. Pricing is the same as other Starbucks' This is better than some stores like Rochdale, but worse than stores like Bury and Liverpool Airport but I feel 3 stars is right as it really matches the yelp description of A-OK.

Starbucks Coffee is a bit expensive here in Europe but I like it compared to the local ones as not all coffee shops carry decaf. Centrally located !

But here it did and the chap who brought my coffee over confirmed it, which was kind. The coffee was good, the ambience laid back and the feeling was of a haven from a bustling street and city. Eventually, I left my regal armchair to get back and on. This café sets a fine standard for competitors to meet.

My double espresso was smooth, fruity and roasted nicely - came with water without asking. Very pleasant place to do a bit of work or have a meeting - not as comfortable as the green room, but it is more upmarket.

Steam Yard is a pretty standard independent coffee shop in Shef. It's a ways away from the main…read moreroads, tucked inside of a little cobblestone square with a few shops and a tattoo parlor. Service was quick. My friend and I sat outside as we wanted to enjoy the weirdly nice weather, but they had plenty of seating both indoors and out. The atmosphere is generally hipster, though the clientele seemed anything but. I ordered a nitro brew and a scone, and both were decent. I was expecting the nitro brew to be foamier and smoother (like the one I had a few months ago at La Colombe) but it was bitter, and almost carbonated. Still good, just not what I was expecting. Though I don't think I'll be back in Sheffield anytime soon, if I were to return, I'd probably give Steam Yard another go and try a different drink.

I called in Boost, to grab a free smoothie to celebrate the birth of the royal baby, as the company…read moreoffered 25 free Strawberry drinks to celebrate the birth. I would never come here through my own choice, yes their drinks are nice but I'd never pay nearly £5 for a smoothie. They do have a loyalty scheme where you get a free drink for every 9 you buy and on your birthday, but this costs 20p for one card and for every replacement and you can't get a key fob. The portion was quite nice for free and I enjoyed my drink, you could taste the apple juice and some fresh ingredients. The staff seemed okay, they didn't offer any conversation as it was empty and they made my smoothie, not even asking if I was okay, a little disappointing. The staff seemed nice and helpful on the phone, when I called. My drinks were nice but the pricing is awful and the customer service from head office needs improving. The price alone and ridiculous loyalty scheme is enough to drop a few stars of the rating, the quality saves it a little but because of the high price and no seating area, a 2 star rating is the highest I can give but it would easily get 4 if the pricing was so much more customer friendly and had seating, I am surprised to see a younger audience be a very popular lover of these drinks when they are so expensive, it is like only the rich, health fanatics and staff can afford them (and birthday boys and girls!)
