Motore Cafe (Sheffield Plate Orchard Square)

if you've got a laptop bag on your shoulder and a few hours to fill before your next meeting, orchard square is a reasonable place to land. motore cafe sits at 31-33 orchard square, which puts you right in the middle of sheffield city centre without the noise of fargate breathing down your neck. the coffee is taken seriously here, which matters more than it sounds on a wednesday morning when you just need something to actually work. sheffield's specialty scene has grown quietly but with real conviction, and motore fits that pattern. independent, focused, not trying to dress itself up as something it isn't. save the cortado for around ten, when the square starts moving but hasn't tipped into chaos yet.
