Together with my wife we visited the café earlier today. We called ahead regarding dog friendly seating and helpful staff assured us there was outdoor dog friendly seats. We sat in the morning sun and enjoyed a fantastic full English breakfast and drinks. Great quality and value. Fantastic customer service. This will be somewhere we visit each time we pass through Sheffield for work from now on. Very excited to try one of the vast array of delicious looking cakes next time!

I booked The little Mesters Cafe for catering for a surprised birthday party. Outstandingly done, great food, perfectly set up, vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options available. Really really friendly owners. Will definitely keep in mind for future parties. Also booked with their smaller cake business called Galloping Goodies. Again outstanding, beautifully made and absolutely delicious. Thank you so much to you both!

Called in here for a light lunch when taking Mum-in-law on a heritage tour round Sheffield, various spots where previous generations had lived and worked. We picked it because it was on route and for the name! What a little gem! It was clean, well presented and laid out. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was great, as were the coffees. We were also loaned some books of Sheffield's history, as we had said why we were there. To top it off Mum was presented with a slice of cake for her birthday as we left. Would most definitely visit again when next in the area. Brother-in-law said he will try to pop in too, next time he is over from Cyprus.

Friendly and welcoming from minute we arrived. Great cup of tea, breakfast was amazing...presented well and tasted as good as it looked. We also purchased some cakes to takeaway, these looked really good and they are baked on site by cafe owners. Best breakfast I've had in a long time.
