About This Place

Ambulo Café, nestled conveniently at 48 Arundel Gate in the heart of Sheffield City Centre, offers a fresh and inviting retreat for coffee lovers and food enthusiasts alike. Located within the iconic Millennium Gallery building, this stylish café draws in visitors with its vibrant cyan and pink floral-themed interior and expansive window facade that bathes the space in natural light. The spacious seating arrangement creates a relaxed and accessible environment—perfect for casual meetups, work breaks, or simply savoring a moment of calm amidst the city buzz.

The menu at Ambulo is a delightful fusion of comforting classics and inventive twists that bring a refreshing energy to Sheffield’s café scene. From the rich warmth of a creamy Coffee Latte or a robust Cappuccino, to the satisfying crunch and flavor-packed layers of the Korean Fried Chicken Crumpet, each bite and sip is thoughtfully crafted to excite the palate. Sandwich selections are particularly noteworthy: the New Yorker Sandwich, boasting savory pastrami and tangy gherkins, offers a hearty option, while the Grilled 4 Cheese brings indulgence with its gooey, melted depths. Light yet flavorful options like the Italian Flatbread and Bacon & Brie Ciabatta showcase Ambulo’s commitment to quality and taste.

Ambulo doesn’t just excel with its savory fare. Sweet treats such as the dangerously addictive Cinnamon Bun, buttery Pain Au Raisin, and classic Toasted Tea Cake pair beautifully with their expertly prepared coffee or a refreshing Camden Lager or Aperol Spritz—ideal for those moments when you want to unwind in a gourmet café setting. Kids are also well catered for, with value-packed lunch deals featuring a sandwich, crisps, fruit, and even a KitKat—a winning combination praised by local parents for its quality and affordability.

Customer experiences paint a vivid picture of Ambulo's personality and service. Martin Abrams highlights the excellent value on offer for families, while John Tait appreciates the café's inviting ambiance and flavorful New Yorker Sandwich. Chiara Verdigi’s praise for the generous portions and quality reinforces Ambulo as a standout spot for social gatherings, even as she gently notes room for improvement in service. Frequent visitor Steve admires the homemade-style sausage roll and the pleasant, polished service atmosphere, all contributing to a welcoming vibe that’s easy to embrace time and again.

Whether you're stepping in for a beautifully brewed flat white, a nourishing Eggs Benedict, or one of the café’s carefully curated soft drinks like Karma Kola or Gingerella, Ambulo offers a sensory, spirited café experience that champions local warmth and culinary care. It stands out as a refreshing, accessible gem in Sheffield’s vibrant dining landscape—one that invites you to linger, savor, and return.

    A lovely toasted New Yorker with pastrami and gherkins. Plus a cinnamon bun and an Americano. Not cheap, but tasty. Fabulous cool views in the warm sunny weather.

    This is a great place to meet up with friends for a hot drink or to eat some outstanding food! Quite reasonably priced for the quality and quantity of the food - I would definitely recommend the pappardelle ragu! A very chilled out atmosphere, however the service was lacking slightly. Super happy Ambulo has found its way to Sheffield!

    A nice café, near the train station, at the entrance of the millennium gallery. The interior of the café is very nice, there is an emphasis on a flowery vibe with a cyan and pink colour code. The café has a window facade. There is a lot of seating available. The café is definitely not as busy as Tamper Sellers Wheel so no wait needed. The staff who was taking my order at the till seemed to be new and didn’t seem to know how to use the till properly because she asked her colleague for advice. I ordered the Eggs Royale which costed £10.50, not the cheapest Eggs Royale I must say but it tasted nice. The canton earl grey which costed £2.50, was a standard earl grey tea. Overall, a good location and not a bad experience. The price for the meal wasn’t great.

    Have been past many times and thought it was time to call in. Ambulo is part of the Millennium gallery building, downstairs. It's all nice and spacious , good for accessibility and clean. The staff were polite and did a nice job. Picked up a flat white coffee and a sausage roll today and enjoyed both. The sausage roll seemed to be more home made style, loved it. There are a ton of nice cakes and pastries, and decent choice of sandwiches and drinks.

    Really nice food, I had the spricy grilled cheese with jalapeños and an ice brew, both were great! Also shout out to the young woman on today (21st Sept), she was working on her own and gave excellent customer service throughout, a credit to the café.
