“The grandest entrance to any coffee shop…”
Above the 1554 Coffee shop, shows a stained glass window depicting the Acts of the Apostles and features Saints Peter and Paul, the Patron Saints of the Cathedral.
Sheffield Cathedral has been a cornerstone of the city since circa 1430, an iconic landmark situated in the heart of town.
However, not everyone knows that neatly squirrelled away inside this grand, historic building is 1554 Coffee Shop, a peaceful retreat that’s perfect for a light lunch or a little pick-me-up. With ample comfy seating and a welcoming attitude to all, 1554 serves all day and has won a number of awards including the coveted Sheffield City Centre Retail Awards for outstanding service. They only use local suppliers for the food and drinks including the likes of Bakewell Bakery, Secret Cake Club, Our Cow Molly and even have their own specially designed house blend from Heavenly Coffee. Alongside an endless rotation of cakes and traybakes, they also serve hot food such as meat pies and feta pasta if you’re after a heartier bite. Either way, you’re guaranteed a warm welcome and a beautifully tranquil atmosphere, a genuine haven away from the city centre rush.
Free wi-fi is available throughout the day and students get a 10% discount so the refills can keep on flowing (takeouts are also available). When you’re finished, you’re welcome to explore centuries of history detailed across the building, ogle at the impressive lantern tower designed by Amber Hiscott or visit the 1554 gift shop which stocks a selection of goodies and crafts from local producers.
