  “I have just had the most AMAZING service at Gaard - Freya and Tia have been so fantastic and accommodating. They really went out of their way to talk me through their available teas and even made a little bespoke sample for me to try. I’d been having an awful day and I could have cried at how lovely they were. Truly made my day. Thank you so much Freya”

  “I wanted to try this place based on the 5-star reviews on Google. Gaard is a small coffee shop on a corner of a big building. As you can tell, I’m not from Sheffield 😅 I came at around 12pm on Friday. It wasn’t very busy, however I could hear a lot of people sat upstairs. I stayed downstairs as I needed to be somewhere soon. All the food is vegan, no alcohol or gelatine. Therefore, it’s 100% halal. I was greeted by a kind member of staff who was happy to talk me through the baked goods, sandwiches and hot/cold beverages. I asked if all the bakery items were made fresh that day, and he said only the croissants and sausage rolls were baked fresh. So 75% of the bakery items were at least a day old. I appreciated his honesty, so I decided to stay and order since I had asked lots of questions. I ordered the Pistachio Carrot Cake Slice, and a Matcha Latte. I was handed the cake slice straight away, but I wanted to have it with my hot drink, so I waited patiently for it. I could tell the cake wasn’t made fresh. It was tasty though, with carrots, walnuts and raisins. The icing on the top was just royal icing. It was extremely sweet for me, and apart from the pistachio pieces on the top, I wasn’t getting much pistachio flavour unfortunately. The matcha latte was brilliant! It wasn’t grassy or bitter. It had good quality matcha flavour with my choice of semi-skimmed milk, and beautiful latte art on top. I opted for a drink with no added sugar, and this hit the spot. It was a decent size too. Gaard offers complimentary WiFi, however it is password protected, so you might want to ask the server for the password. It also offers students discounts, which was great for me. Overall, I had a good experience at this coffee shop.”

  “One of my favourite coffee shops! Lovely staff, comfy seating upstairs, all vegan apart from cows milk which is considered the alternative. Croissants are brilliant and so are the paninis. Definitely worth a visit!”

  “Friendly service and good coffee in a contemporary space. Both the food and drinks were fresh and well made, with good portion sizes (no small cappuccinos here), but this is reflected in the price. The staff are very friendly and very welcoming. The cafe itself, part of the West One complex is fairly small and across two floors, but can easily fill up when busy. The downstairs is mostly window seating and the counter; upstairs is more seating, ranging from sofas to normal chairs.”
