About CAWA COFFEE
On Platform 5 inside Sheffield train station, CAWA COFFEE is a coffee shop and bakery with counter service, its seating set back from the platform. The bakery turns out its own pastries each morning, including cheese croissants and filled croissants, alongside bacon sandwiches. Coffee is roasted in house and served in forms like iced mocha, with Belgian hot chocolate as a non-coffee option. A wide selection of cakes and pastries rounds out the counter. Service runs walk-in, with no reservations taken. The station setting places it within easy reach for travellers passing through rather than as a destination stop.

Customer Review Summary
Pastries and coffee draw the most consistent praise at this train station cafe, with reviewers repeatedly singling out a Belgian hot chocolate, an iced mocha, a cheese croissant, and a bacon sandwich as standouts, alongside a filled croissant and a general "wide variety" of baked goods. Close behind is the staff, described again and again as friendly, welcoming, and chatty, with several reviewers thanking specific servers by role rather than name and one calling the service "10/10." The setting earns its own mentions too, with diners noting the seating sits away from the platform, giving it a quiet, secluded feel rather than the usual station hustle. One reviewer admits they haven't tried the savoury options but says they look good. No recurring complaints surface. Several say they'll return before every journey, and one adds they'd get off the train at Sheffield just for the cafe.

“Visited today for my first time and got a real Belgium hot chocolate and oh my it was delicious and one of the best hot chocolates I’ve ever had. Extremely reasonable prices. The gentleman that served me was lovely, very friendly and chatty. Excellent service and I will definitely be visiting again on my next trip to the train station. Highly recommended and they have a great selection of other beverages and food available”

“Very nice for a train station cafe. Seating is not directly on the platform and feels a bit secluded which is nice.”
