Eve Bakery | 380 Sharrow Vale Road 

When you’re ready for a sweet treat, Eve Bakery on Sharrow Vale Road is the perfect place to go. Sheffield locals know that Eve Bakery sell some of the best donuts and pastries in the city, with new flavours hitting the counter each week. 

From Key Lime Pie donuts to coffee mascarpone & caramel choux buns, there is a decadent treat for everyone at this bakery.
