Pom's Kitchen is one of the most colourful bakeries in Sheffield.
If you're on a search for Instagrammable food and don't mind a short train journey then you're in for a treat.
Inspired by Australian cuisine and bold colours, Pom's Kitchen is a bright, fun-filled cafe where everything, no matter how small, is extravagent.
Since we won't be travelling to Australia any time soon (thanks, Covid), the laid-back vibes inside Pom's Kitchen are the closest you'll get to Byron Bay this year. Luckily, the tasty menu has channeled all your favourite Aussie classics as well as including some colourful new favourites that Down Under only wish they could get their hands on.

Rainbow bagels only made up one item on the menu, but they're example enough of the flair and innovation demonstrated by Pom's menu.
The rainbow outer layer hides the layers of Biscoff spread and sliced banana inside, before the entire bagel is sprinkled with hundreds and thousands and neon sprinkles- just incase it wasn't colourful enough already.
That's not all, the Green Goddess Bagel is a pom pink bagel (yes, you can get pink bagels here too) with cream cheese, avocado, pom kale and cucumber and pairs wonderfully with a beetroot latte.

These incredible flavours of savoury and sweet are complimented perfectly by an equally instagrammable breakfast menu.
Think vegan hot sausage butties with garlic mushrooms, granola pots with seasonal fruit and the Pom Breakfast Bagel: a swoon-worthy pink bagel filled with egg, sausage, hash brown, cheese and ketchup.
As you'd imagine, the hot and cold drinks carry the same finesse and include freakshakes and smoothies with inspiring names like Sydney Sunset, with raspberry, pineapple and orange, or Sun Salute, made from mango, orange, ginger and turmeric.

There isn't anything quite like this in Leeds (that we are aware of), so even though Sheffield may be a trip across the Pennines, we're convinced it will be worth it for the 'gram if nothing else.
The North West’s most ordered burger has landed in Leeds, and it’s easy to see why it’s loved by so many.
If you don't know about Burgerism, then get to know.
The iconic burger brand, which started life as a dark kitchen off an industrial estate in Salford, is now almost ready to welcome fans into its first Leeds location.
Set to open tomorrow – Wednesday 23 September – Burgerism will be serving up their signature smash burgers from a new site over in Meanwood.

The site sits right next to The Meadwood Tavern on Meanwood Road, the perfect location for if you're out and about and looking for a bit of grub after a few pints.
The interior is sporting the bright Burgerism orange, and although it is mainly a takeaway restaurant there are a few seats for sit-in.
You’ll be able to order your food at the counter, via self-service kiosks, or through click-and-collect on the Burgerism website.

Highlights on the menu will, as always, include the fan-favourite Cheesed (two smashed patties, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion and the brand’s signature sauce, served in a seeded brioche bun), as well as a range of chicken burgers, fries, and wings.
Everything is made fresh to order, and even their sauces and dips are made entirely in-house.

And the good stuff doesn't stop there, as to celebrate the grand opening they'll be giving away the first 100 customers from 5pm a 'Comeback Card' where you'll eat on them during your next visit. So get there early if you don't want to miss out
The Meanwood site will be the sixth Burgerism site following its five openings elsewhere in Greater Manchester.
A new açai cafe promising to be Leeds’ ‘neighbourhood social club’ is opening soon
Clementine Hall
An independent açai bowl pop-up is opening a permanent cafe in Leeds city centre.
It seems the açai bowl trend isn't over just yet, and we're absolutely not mad about it.
The aesthetically purple frozen treat isn't just delicious, but is also known to have numerous health benefits making it guilt-free and the perfect post-workout pick me up.
You may remember Açai Social Club that opened as a pop-up in the Victoria Quarter last year, and now they're moving into a permanent spot in the city centre.
Run by a lovely husband and wife duo who have spent the last 15 months exploring cafes around the world, it's safe to say they know exactly what they're talking about.
Their açai is made with the very best ingredients, topped with the freshest fruit and sprinkled with their homemade granola - it doesn't get much better then that does it?
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, they said: "Açai Social Club is getting a home. Our very first store is officially on the way! We’ve been working behind the scenes to create a space that’s more about than just açai.
"What started as an idea is finally becoming something you can walk into…There’s still a lot we’re keeping under wraps for now, but we’re so excited to finally share the beginning of what’s to come.
"We can’t wait to open our doors and welcome you in. Your new neighbourhood social club, coming soon."
The exact location of the cafe and its opening date is still under wraps, but we'll of course keep you updated as and when we find out.
