Coffee shops in Sunderland

They've only just moved into their new premises.

FFS

Thieves got away with an old laptop and some small coffee items, which the owners estimate to be worth around £50, but they’ve been left with around £1000 worth of damage at the Grinder Coffee in New Durham Road Sunderland.

Bastards. I was in there the other week, coffee nice and the Pastel de Nata was really something else, possibly the best I've had, I think it was with caramel or toffee, unreal.
 

Without doubt one of the very best people I've ever had the privilege of meeting. I didn't get in as often as I would have liked, but whenever I did, he was always there smiling, making people feel good about themselves.

Absolutely heartbreaking and I hope the community rally round his wife and friends.

RIP Ariel
 
Just wanted to post a 'shout out' for Sonny's @Poprecs. Went there on Monday lunchtime before returning down here & was shocked to see the carpark next to it closed, and getting dug up (or something). Wasn't easy to find somewhere else to park close by, but I persevered and enjoyed a much needed coffee & a bite to eat. I hope that the parking isssue doesn't impact too much on their footfall, it was canny busy when I was there, mind. The staff there are great.
Considering it’s just along the road. I always forget it’s there!

Haven’t been in for months. The Turkish eggs are canny.
 
I’ve just seen this. Absolutely gutting. The first time we went he asked the Bairn if he enjoyed his food but he said he didn’t like some of the salad stuff.

He sat and said how he never liked spinach but after he tried it he loved it and that’s why he was so big and strong.

Kid’s loved greens ever since.

You never know how much of an impact someone can have. Even just a 3 minute interaction.
 
Aye there's a video he filmed that he put on seemed like he knew time was short asking people to support the shop and Pati. Really sad.
He mentions mental illness so I thought it must have been suicide. There was a post on shop 3 days ago as normal. The video is a bit strange without explanation. Real shame tho.
