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"
Comedian Joe Lycett is putting money behind the bar at a pub in Sheffield this week, as he continues to encourage people to get out and support their local boozers.
The TV favourite – who is also currently one of the stars on The Traitors – announced the news as he bid farewell to his fictional TV pub The Lycett Arms.
On the show, he said: “There are 45,000 pubs in the UK – go and give them some love.”
Joe Lycett then proceeded to list 30 brilliant pubs up and down the country, including one in Sheffield, and announced that the drinks are on him this week.
He told audiences: “[This] Friday I’ll be putting a little bit of money behind the bar in all the pubs you’ve just seen. I hope you can have a drink on me.”
The chosen pub in Sheffield is The Hallamshire House, a lovely old boozer serving real ale in Crookesmoor.
Announcing the news to social media, Channel 4 and Joe Lycett wrote: "Take this as your excuse to drop what you’re doing, call a mate, and head to your local pub. Even if you see this during the middle of a working day. Go. Be free."
Well, you certainly don't have to tell us twice.
Some pubs have even agreed to match the offer, commenting on the post: “Thank you so much for the shout out. Next time you find yourself nearby, pop in for a pint!”
So this Friday, get your friends together and have a free pint on Joe Lycett himself - you know you want to.
Sheffield is getting its very own National Beer Museum
Clementine Hall
Plans have been announced for a new museum dedicated to Sheffield's brewing and pub history.
Now we all love a good pint, especially here in Sheffield, so what if we told you that soon there'll be an entire museum dedicated to the sweet nectar?
The museum will be dedicated to the city's long brewing history but ahead of its opening, Sheffield Beer Museum CIC is launching a public consultation.
They're asking the city's drinkers, brewers, publicans and residents what the museum should be, which stories it should tell, and where it belongs.
In case you didn't know, Sheffield has one of the richest beer heritages in the country, from the Victorian brewing boom through the real ale revival to today's independent scene.

So it's safe to say that we deserve a home for its story.
"There is more to beer than drinking, and Sheffield's thriving independent scene is a proud example of that," said George Brown, director of Sheffield Beer Museum.
"It's why we're asking the city first. Before we decide anything, we want to hear what people here want to see."
The consultation period will run to the end of the year, and it's all kicking off at this year's Steel City Beer & Cider Festival.
The team will be at the Steel City Beer & Cider Festival at Kelham Island Museum from Wednesday 21 to Saturday 24 October 2026, where visitors can meet the team, have their say and find out more.
