Tell us what you want! Independently run coffee shops?

Utopia was great, the variety of food and drinks was good and the music they played was awesome, I remember going in there once and a Boards of Canada tune was playing, I couldn't believe it - seemed like the perfect chill out music for a place like that!

I'd like to see fresh juices, teas as well as coffee, local produce, local artists' work on the walls and a later closing time.

Definately a late closing time. There's pretty much nowhere you can go after 5pm without being forced to drink and listen to annoying music. Apparently in the U.S.A they have a lot more opportunities for late night coffee. It's be amazing if it was open till 10 or 11.

 

Has Utopia actually shut I thought it was being refurbished

 

Cafe # 9 is the best cafe in Sheffield, except for its slightly out of the way location (unless you live there) and limited size. But the coffee is top drawer

When I spent some time with family in the states they had some great coffee shops, some were hang out for younger people - like we'd gop to the pub at 18-20 they went to the coffee shops cos they couldn't drink. Others were more wide ranging in their appeal. One thing they did seem to do pretty well was little nibbly food, plates of good nacho's mozerrella sticks, that kind of thing.

Great faitrade tea, coffee, hot choccies..

 

Smoothies, homemade cakes and scones...

 

Good lighting..

 

Reasonable prices and comfy seating..

 

Lunch bites i.e. paninis, toasties, jackets.. I tend to pop in somewhere I can get that too??

 

If you're going for 21 -35's don't forget they have kids in the daytime too! Or some of us do anyway.. so highchairs, kids drinks and organic fruit snacks.
