Coffee shops in Sunderland


Cheers for that..will give them a go
BTW , it may be outside your normal radius of ‘haunts’ but have you been to or heard anything about a new pub in Cleadon, the Raven?

Seems when it first opened i heard a few people disappointed with the beer selections, a bit mainstream rather than craft ale micro pub. Looking at their socials though they do seem to offer a decent range. Seen Full Circle, Wylam, Fierce and Vaux mentioned.

I'd suggest asking in the craft beer thread or if you have any other questions on craft beer drop me a Pm.

Back on topic I also like Biz R in terms of feel, friendliness etc but, as with most coffee shops, I find the coffee a little blander than for my tastes, but I do like strong dark coffees

Appreciate that. I stay at my sisters ( in Cleadon ) when back and only coffee shop is one next to pharmacy.
Coffee is very very average for what it costs there
Fortunately the bus service round there is great so I will venture into centre more when I get back
 
It (The Raven) was in the Echo the other night? - might be online
Thanks. My nephew brought it my attention just wondering if any fellow posters had any opinions..good or bad
Cleadon is a lovely little spot but it doesn’t sit quite right with me for boozing being an ex Fulwell suburb drinker. Silly really

I know a few people who like The Stables (i think that's what its called) in Cleadon.

It’s ok but when it’s busy you feel a bit squashed in the place. I still think The Stables is much better. Again if you can get a seat!

Whenever I have walked by rarely anyone in during the day and certainly not drinking coffee. Pubwise it attracts a few.Also I like my comfy seats when I have a coffee ( pathetic as that may sound ) and it seems to lack those
