Coworking café in Sheffield: where to work beside a café, day passes from £29/day

Spaces Acero sits at 1 Concourse Way, S1 2BJ, a 4 min walk from Sheffield Station and 200 m from Sheffield Interchange, so it is the easy choice if you come in by train, tram or bus. It is open 24/7, and alongside the café there is barista coffee and shared common areas.

A day pass costs £29/day, which suits anyone who only needs a desk now and then. If you settle in, a hot desk runs from £229/month and a private office from £239/month. That makes it the one of these three where you can start with a single day and move up to a monthly desk or your own room in the same building.

32 Eyre Street, S1 4QZ, is open 24/7 and pairs its café with a long list of extras. There is a gym, showers and bike storage, so you can cycle in, train at lunchtime and freshen up before getting back to work. Phone booths give you somewhere quiet for calls away from the café noise, and a lounge offers a change of scene from your desk.

It also handles mail and answers the telephone, which helps if you want the building to act as your business base while you are out. For someone who wants the whole working day, exercise included, under one roof, this is the address to look at.

Angel Street, S38LU, combines its café with a staffed reception, so visitors are met and greeted rather than left to find you. A kitchen lets you prepare your own food when you would rather not buy from the café, and breakout areas give teams room to talk without disturbing others.

Event space makes it handy if you run workshops or launches, a cleaning service keeps the place in order, and air conditioning helps on warm days. Pets are allowed too, which makes it a good fit if you would rather bring the dog than leave it at home.

All three café workspaces have meeting rooms, so you can move a client chat from the café table to a closed room in the same building; at Spaces Acero they start at £19/h.

32 Eyre Street and Angel Street both offer Wi-Fi for getting online straight away, a staffed reception that takes in guests, and a kitchen for making your own lunch or tea. Both have a cleaning service, so desks and shared areas are kept tidy, event space for hosting a talk or a team gathering, and breakout areas where you can step away from your desk to think or chat with colleagues.

Spaces Acero prices a wider range of ways to use the building. A business lounge costs from £29/day, and a day office, a private room for a single day, from £75/day. If you only need a business address, a virtual office there runs from £89/month. Day-to-day options in the city are set out on the day pass page, and the wider picture is on the Sheffield pricing page.
