A fire consumed Aesthete, a Sheffield cafe on Sandygate Road in Crosspool, during the early morning hours. The owners identified an electrical fault as the probable cause of the blaze, which inflicted severe damage to kitchen facilities and smoke-related harm throughout the front areas of the establishment. All occupants remained safe and no injuries occurred.

With the Crosspool venue now shuttered pending structural and damage assessment, the cafe's management expressed their anguish over the incident while encouraging patrons to support them by visiting their second location on South Road in Walkley. Nearby business owners reacted with surprise and volunteered assistance to help the affected cafe owners navigate the recovery period.
