The Boston Arms

worth knowing about, especially if you're making your way down chesterfield road through woodseats. the boston arms sits at the quieter end of sheffield's specialty scene, away from the centre, which means the people who find it tend to actually want to be there. that kind of self-selection does something good for the atmosphere, even if you can't always put your finger on what. it's built up a genuinely strong following among locals who keep coming back, and that sort of loyalty doesn't accumulate by accident in a city with real options. sheffield knows its coffee. if you're in s8 and you want something done properly, chesterfield road on a slow weekday morning is a reasonable place to start.
