Sheffield is about to get its first tiramisu cafe (I know, I know, heaven), with the city's beloved Paradiso branching out to their first proper space.
The team are set to open a brand-new store on Sharrow Vale, which will be home to a build-your-own tiramisu bar, coffee shop, masterclasses and more.
The brand-new Paradiso will be a permanent place for Sheffield to feast on these handmade, alcohol-free tiramisu desserts.
Over the years, flavours have branched out from classic coffee to tiramisus like pistachio, matcha, and raspberry, and they always have vegan and gluten-free options too.
The cafe itself will have space for up to 20 people, serving tea and coffee as well as hosting pasta and tiramisu masterclasses.
To help bring the vision to life, Paradiso are launching a Kickstarter to help them get the doors opened.

They've lined up some rewards and exclusive combos to gift vouchers and more, which will all be revealed soon.
Announcing the news today, Paradiso said: "Did somebody say Tiramisù Cafè?!
"Paradiso is growing and it’s time for a better fit! We’ve found the perfect new home for our shop on Sharrow Vale Road — but we need your help to make it a reality.
"Throughout July, we’ll be running a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds that will help us expand our offer and create a welcoming space (with tables and chairs!) for everyone to enjoy tiramisù the Italian way — we call it ‘il dolce far niente’ — the sweetness of doing nothing.
"A dream years in the making and now it’s almost within reach. To say thank you, we’ve put together some delicious rewards, such as tiramisù masterclasses, exclusive tiramisù combos, gift vouchers and much more!
"Please share and support our Kickstarter to help grow our small business and add something sweet to the neighbourhood.
"Grazie mille, Mattia Paradiso, The Tiramisù Guy x"
A new Australian-inspired cafe and coffee shop has landed in Sheffield, providing 'coffee that kicks and food that fuels'.
It's safe to say that the Aussies know what they’re doing when it comes to coffee, so when an Australian-style cafe opens in Sheffield city centre you make it your priority to visit.
Introducing Drop Bear, and here you’ll find everything to cure that caffeine craving from your classic glossy coffees to their wonderful rotating seasonal creations like an Ube Cheesecake Latte.
Drop Bear comes from the same husband-and-wife team behind Sheff's beloved Hygge, the Scandi-inspired cafe with sites dotted around town.

This time their sights are set on the cafe culture of Australia - think great coffee and beautiful but nourishing food.
As for the name of the new venture - it's a silly nod to the folklore hoax of a carnivorous koala bear the drops from the trees to attack people (many-a tourist visiting Australia have fallen for this one).
Drop Bear has just opened in the Strines Building, slap-bang in the centre of campus making it perfect for a mid-lecture pick me up.

And it's not just great coffee they serve, they've also got some great food options to keep you going from stacked sushi rolls and fresh salmon bowls to fluffy breakfast bao buns.
The interior is light, airy and spacious - and you'll even spot a few drop bears dotted around the walls and ceilings, including one that is sporting a Paul Mescal-esque hooped earring.
Owner Alex said: "Our vision for Drop Bear Coffee is simple. We wanted to create a space that feels energetic, welcoming, and real, somewhere people can fuel up properly."
Smash-hit musical Everybody’s Talking About Jamie to return home to Sheffield on 10th anniversary tour
Emily Sergeant
One of the most beloved musicals of the 21st century is set to return to Sheffield on its 10th anniversary tour.
Following a record-breaking three-year West End residency, two sold-out UK and Ireland Tours, and even an award-winning Amazon Studios film, the smash-hit musical Everybody’s Talking About Jamie is returning for its 10th anniversary tour, and will be stopping off here in its home town.
Set to open in Leeds a decade after the original opening at the Sheffield Crucible, Jamie will be ‘coming home again’ for what is said to be ‘possibly the last time’, as the show heads out to major cities across the UK.
Everybody’s Talking About Jamie tells the story of 16-year-old title character, Jamie, who lives on a council estate in Sheffield but doesn’t quite fit in and is terrified about the future, even though he wants to be a sensation.
Supported by his loving mum and surrounded by his friends, Jamie overcomes prejudice, beats the bullies, and steps out of the darkness into the spotlight.
With an original score of catchy pop tunes by lead singer-songwriter of The Feeling, Dan Gillespie Sells, and writer Tom MacRae, the musical is said to be one the whole family should experience.
This new 10th anniversary addition of the show coming to Sheffield even features a brand-new song to the already-beloved soundtrack.
Everybody’s Talking About Jamie will be coming to the Sheffield Lyceum Theatre on 8 March 2027, and will also be visiting other northern cities on the tour like Leeds, Chester, Sunderland, Manchester, and Liverpool, as well as other major cities nationwide.
