The estate agent’s pitch states: "Probably the most popular coffee shop in this bustling suburb of Sheffield…and enjoying a colossal amount of footfall from shoppers, residents, visitors and students."

It adds: "The cafe is run entirely by staff and therefore represents a huge opportunity for more hands-on owner operators to profit substantially from a very busy volume of trade".

The sale comes a year after the business opened on Whitham Road in a former Royal Bank of Scotland building. The Grind has two other venues, also in trendy locations, in Kelham Island and Kommune food hall in Castlegate.

Prior to the Grind, the Broomhill site had been a branch of Williams and Glyn's Bank  and then RBS. It closed in November 2018, and the windows were boarded up.

The building is understood to date back to around the 1850s.
