Zooby's Sandwich Deli & Fairtrade Coffee Bar in Sheffield

Very good fare from Zooby's - in the pleasantly verdant and lush setting of the Winter Gardens.My enquiry about coffee strength was handled well. Have been coming here for 12 years on and off: this place has been consistently good.Service has been especially valued in recent times under Covid restrictions (takeaway only) - so let's be patient while our much loved independents find their way back.

Went today and left very impressed! Got the berry smoothie and my friend got the mango one- also got a panini!!! Great food and drink. Not to mention the staff were polite and kind and attentive and all work very well together- will be back :)))))

I had a lovely tasty sausage sandwich and a hot chocolate drink. I also bought a children's box for £2.99 contained a sandwich, crisps, rasins, kinder chocolate bar and a Ribena drink, fantastic value for money. The guy who served me was really friendly. You can pay cash or card. There was a queue and the service was a little slow but the food was worth the wait.

Fairly miserable cafe experience. Ignored by staff, slow service, erratic payment system, awful cake selection - few packet and a couple of homemade items. Nice environment in the winter gardens but have clearly become complacent with passing trade. Avoid.

Very nice little eatery inside the winter garden. I had a bacon and brie sandwich. Freshly cooked so a short wait which I didn't mind. Lots to choose from and staff were lovely and helpful

Prices are ok but the waiting time to be served is just too slow and often puts me off-the staff are like zombies. Also you arent greeted with a hi or a smile, just a miserable face of a person who looks like they dont want to work there.

First star for locationSecond star for friendly service.But!- Tables are super sticky and dirty especially now in covid time they shoud be clean after every costumer.- Coffee taste worst than in McDonalds not worth that price- Menu on the bar is huge but half of the positions there are not available to order..

This place has gone downhill! After waiting patiently for 10 minutes whilst lady had some kind of issue with ice creams for lady in front, watched a drunk aggressive man in queue behind (who had only been waiting a couple of minutes for a cup of coffee) verbally assault a young teenage lad behind me, then tell me to 'pay by cash' because my card kept getting declined by the machine, whilst the staff looked on, without a word about his behaviour (appeared to be friends with him!). The male server then continued to try my card four or five times, whilst my food went cold, and my seven year old daughter was left unattended eating her sandwich, insisting that he had had no problems with machine all day and suggesting it was my card at fault. He finally let me eat my sandwich, when I offered to leave my bag to try my card at a card machine (was worried by that point we wouldn't get home!!). Absolutely no problem with card at cash machine (and later that day in max spielman's card machine). Straight back to pay. No apology, nor any kind of compensation for meal ruined. Most worrying, however, was not asking aggressive man to leave cafe for bullying behaviour towards a child, and a woman with a small child present. Wish now I had brought the police in from outside and asked them to intervene!! Really don't recommend losing lunch buying customers over abusive customers parting with £1 for the smallest cup of coffee going!! Won't be back!!

Visiting my home city today. Called in Zooby's for a bite to eat as we love the environment. Staff were unwelcoming, maybe because they had to work on a very hot bank holiday. However, sandwich was very dry, Panini took an age to arrive and when we questioned where it was we were treated very rudely. Salad box, according to my daughter was very nice. I accept that the food prices were a lot cheaper than other eateries close by but, come on. Not very good.

It's the setting rather than the consumables that we like about this place. Coffee is OK, nothing exceptional but not bad. Sitting by the window gives a nice view of the Crucible as well as the calming indoor hot house!
