About Grenoside Reading Room
Welcome to Grenoside Reading Room – an institution that strikes the perfect balance between a quaint cafe, a historic establishment, a delightful food destination, an insightful museum and a fascinating point of interest. We are located at the heart of Grenoside in Sheffield, United Kingdom, at 42a School Lane, which is loved by tourists and locals alike.
Our humble beginning dates back to the mid-19th century. Originally built as a reading room and library, it was a hub for books, newspapers and debates. Over the years, it has morphed into a local icon, becoming so much more than just a reading room. In addition to our love for books, we have also developed a passion for food, art and history, all of which fuse to create the Grenoside Reading Room experience.
The interior of the Reading Room has been lovingly restored, with much of the original woodwork and features remaining, creating a warm and welcoming feel. Our delightful cafe offers a variety of locally sourced food and drink options, from artisanal coffee and homemade cakes to hearty sandwiches and soups. Our menu is ever-changing, based on the seasonally available ingredients, so there is always something new to try. Our friendly staff are always on hand to help you find the perfect dish or drink to satisfy your cravings.
While you are here, do take a moment to explore our fascinating museum exhibits. From local Grenoside history to the development of the reading room, you will find something that inspires you. We also offer an array of events and workshops including book clubs, art classes and guest speakers – so there is always something to spark your curiosity.
Our location is worth a visit on its own. Nestled in the heart of Grenoside, we are surrounded by beautiful greenery, stunning views of the city and a welcoming community. We welcome visitors from all over the world who come to experience our unique blend of history, literature, food and art.
So, whether you are in need of a warm cup of coffee, a delectable afternoon tea, a quiet place to read, or a place to chat with friends, the Grenoside Reading Room offers something for everyone. We hope to see you soon!

Reviews of Grenoside Reading Room
"We visited today Mon 9jan at about 1.20. although the sign was still outside and the door open, we were told on entering that they were finished for the day. We were so looking forward to a cuppa and a cake after our long walk. It was disappointing. They did offer a take out cake, which I wish we had accepted but as we wanted a drink too we declined. I think it would be good to change the time on the internet and also bring in the sign and lock the door in preparation for closing. Hopefully we can try it another time."
"Wonderful multi-purpose space with an interesting history, run by fabulous volunteers. The soup and cakes available are amazing. I had Leek and Potato Soup followed by Courgette and Lime Cake.. heavenly!"
"Excellent place for coffee and cakes made all the better because we could sit outside in the sunshine.Coffee and homemade cake was superb .Keep up the good work."
"A wonderful warm atmosphere, totally the thing that is required by all small communities. It's run by a small group of volunteers who care and bring a purpose to a building. I can only say that I wish I lived in an area where there was the same community involvement. Very nice."
