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"
There's just no stopping these sisters, as The Matcha Spot announces second site.
Yes, it's another matcha story but we've got to say, we're very excited about this one.
Let's back track to last year when The Matcha Spot popped up in The Moor and made a name for themselves for selling the most wonderful green creations in the city.
Fast forward to February, they opened up their first permanent spot in the city centre on Campo Lane which was a resounding success.

Their focus is serving good quality matcha in all shapes and sizes, our personal favourite being the blondie matcha that is the perfect afternoon pick me up.
It's become such a success, that The Matcha Spot sisters are now opening a second site in Sheffield just months after opening their first.
The Matcha Spot 2.0 will be located on Ecclesall Road and will be opening next month, so we really don't have long to wait.

Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, The Matcha Spot said: "Our second home is here! Thank you SO much for all your support!! We’re so excited to be opening our second location for you to get your matcha fix…..
"281 Ecclesall Road. Coming soon."
We couldn't be happier for the girls, and we couldn't think of anyone more deserving of the success. We'll see you on the opening date ready and raring to get our hands on a white chocolate and raspberry matcha.
Sheffield has been crowned the best city in the UK for students
Clementine Hall
It's good news for students in Sheffield, as the city has been crowned the very best in the UK for university life.
I mean, we can't say we're exactly surprised.
The news comes from a new report by Edumentors that reveals which UK cities offer new students cheap rent, safety, and quality teaching.
The research examined 40 UK cities to find which offer the best university life, tracking monthly rent rates from SpareRoom's data, crime rates from government records, and entertainment costs.
It also looked at how easy it is to get around and what students think of their teaching based on the National Student Survey. Each city received scores from 0 to 100 across all categories, with higher scores indicating a better student experience.Â
Sheffield got the coveted top spot, undergrads here can find dorm rooms and shared flats for around £500, about £300 less than what students pay in Oxford or Cambridge.
Teaching quality also came up trumps, with nearly 9 out of 10 students saying they're happy with their courses at the University of Sheffield.
Coming in second place was Sunderland followed by Lancaster, Coventry and Aberdeen.
The higher education expert from Edumentors commented on the study: "It's not just Oxford and Cambridge ranking low; London and Edinburgh finish at the bottom too, despite having some of the world's most famous universities.
"But UK universities in general offer quality teaching across the board, so opting for budget cities is actually smarter for most students. You get a similar education while having money left over for a proper flat, going out with friends, and enjoying actual student life."
