Honestly hands down a perfect little cafe to sit in and enjoy the environment in, its perfectly located with the Botanical Gardens. The Sandwiches me and the other two had we're superb, and the Flat Whites are spot on! (Though the cup size smaller than usual, but didn't stop me enjoying a well crafted brew). All the staff were on their A* game, getting fresh cold water out when yoy ran out, clearing the tables as almost people left. Can say it's one THE most balanced cafes I've been to so far! 10/10 in my books, and if the staff see this then thank you for hosting such a warm atmosphere.

Such a relaxing breakfast in the conservatory overlooking the botanical gardens. Good choice of hot drinks, coffee was very tasty. I specifically visited as I saw on some reviews that they did Turkish Eggs, but they weren’t on the menu when I got there. Not to my disappointment though as the Eggs Benedict was super tasty! Try the Mushroom Benedict too... yum! I will be back to sample some more of the food. Give star experience.

We stopped for a coffee on a sunny Sunday. We enjoyed sitting on the beautiful terrace especially as the coffee was absolutely great. The service was outstanding. We didn't eat this time but we'll be back next time we're in Sheffield as the food looked amazing!!!

Want to say a massive thank you to the team at Joni’s Botanical, especially the amazing Jess and Charlotte for their understanding and sensitivity for an important occasion we had last Friday. They allowed us the privacy and calm atmosphere in order to support a lunch with two incredible families, alongside our Organ Donation and Transplant colleagues. The food and drink as always was delicious, with plenty of choice, service excellent and it rounded off a very emotional afternoon perfectly.

Really suitable for breakfast/ brunches with a group of friends. We did our reservation the day before but still got seated in a pleasant glass house with a nice green view of the gardens. I got joni's breakfast vegetarian (theres the usual and vegan alternatives too) and enjoyed the english breakfast very much. I forgot the name of my friend's dish but the chutney didn't feel suitable for their dish.

Popped in for a drink on Easter Sunday to escape from the cold weather. Friendly welcome from the staff, who sat us next to the radiator and had some great banter. Our hot chocolate and Pineapple Sunset were really tasty. We didn't eat, as we were still full from breakfast. The food and cakes that we saw looked lovely, so definitely plan to return and eat next time we're in the area.

One of the best coffee shops I've ever been to. We sat outside as it was a nice day overlooking the gardens. Service was extremely efficient and friendly. A cold bottle of water with two glasses were immediately brought to us whilst we looked at the menu. The cappuccinos were the smoothest I've ever tasted. The food was absolutely delicious and we only wished we lived closer. If you are in the area it is definitely worth a visit. I wish more cafes were like this
