Albies Coffee is an inviting space ready to welcome you in. Brother and sister duo Robyn and Fraser opened this stylish coffee house aged just 23 and 24, and a stop-off for their quality selection of coffee has become an everyday ritual for many.
With Albie being the name of their grandfather, the coffee shop pays a touching tribute. “He was an amazing, welcoming and totally fun-loving person,” says Robyn, a personality which is reciprocated in this intimate haven. The siblings created Albies with the belief that speciality coffee should be accessible for all and Sheffield is the ideal location, a smaller city with a bigger space to flourish. Their goal is to create a familiar space with friendly faces that brings a sense of community to the changing face of Castlegate.

The house espresso is roasted in Attercliffe by Cuppers Choice. Big bodied, bright and carrying well through milk, this blend hits just the spot, be it in your morning brew or lazier afternoon fix (usually sipped alongside something laced in sugar – almond croissants are a favourite!). Things get a little jazzier on the guest filter: refills are a quid and it’s your opportunity to try out some of the finer things from speciality roasters all over the UK. ‘Reyt good coffee for reyt good people’ is the motto here, but the loaded bagels and grilled cheese sandwiches are popular too if you fancy it!
