Best Independent coffee shops for students in 2018

September 29th is International coffee day and as a ‘cup of joe’ is the thing that we students rely on to keep us going, we thought we would let you know of some of the best independent coffee shops around Sheffield.

These Sheffield coffee venues are in no particular order:


SteamYard

Voted top 25 most Instagrammable cafes 2018 a richly deserved award. Lovely sunny courtyard setting and cosy indoors, located in the city centre. The red brick coffee at the Steamyard is for the most sophisticated palates. The bakery fare is to die for, try the house favourite the 'Squareyarder cronut', a blend of a croissant and a doughnut, with coffee flavouring from the house coffee. A bit hungrier, then why not grab one of their toasted sandwiches. The sourdough bread is baked onsite too. Unfortunately, no student deals to be had, though it's reasonably priced anyhow.

200 degrees

With its quirky industrial-style interior, 200 degrees is very stylish and modern. The coffee is pleasant and smooth. The croissants are very buttery and do ask for them warmed. Lunchtime favourites are BBQ chicken and smoked cheese baguettes for myself and the Hummus and beetroot for my vegan friend. A loyalty card only needs 9 stamps for a free coffee.

Mangobean

Bright and modern interior completes the vibrant colour scheme. A range of coffee cocktails is on offer, which is a real change from the usual, though the flat whites and cappuccinos are still on the menu. A personal favourite is the Ginger Ninja, and lattes, with chocolate flakes and ginger syrup.  A loyalty scheme makes it student-priced-friendly, for 10 stamps get a free coffee. (bonus 4 stamps are already stamped!)

Fusion Café

Social enterprise run by Freeman college, located next to Sheffield Hallam. An organic café, so you can be assured of lots of fresh produce without the nasties. Organic Direct trade coffee gives you peace of mind that your money is going back into the grower's pockets. Typical café fare with lots of choices of paninis and quiches, look out for the daily specials. Homemade cakes are delicious. Very reasonably priced so no need for a discount. Scrambled egg and smoked salmon at only £3.80 is an absolute steal.
