Watch: New Joe and Dough opens in Broomhall

A new donut shop and cafe has opened on Glossop Road, using only natural ingredients sourced from Sheffield.

Joe & Dough, located opposite the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, opened a few weeks ago, featuring a variety of hand-baked donuts made by owner Joe Tomlinson.

Mr Tomlinson said: “I’ve always wanted to start my own business and have been thinking about making donuts for a few years.

“I’m almost 40 and if I don’t do it now, when will I do it?”

Customers can purchase sweet donuts such as the Glazed Ring or sample savory options not usually available in supermarkets such as ‘Cheddar and Hendo’s Onion Chutney’.

After being open for a few weeks, the shop seems to be attracting more customers, which Mr Tomlinson thinks might be time to think about hiring someone else.

He said: “Obviously in the first two weeks I’ve had a lot of time off, but everything is going in the right direction every week.

“I know I’m getting some big orders at the end of this week, so it’s probably only a few weeks before I post a job ad.”
