FAUSTO COFFEE REVIEWS

Truly lovely independent cafe with incredibly hospitable staff, great drinks and food. We took 40 staff here for our annual summer party and they could not have looked after us better. Its also in a top location right on the beach and the coffee is delicious too. Altogether a big thumbs up for us!

Love this place, quite often come here after walking and running and it’s great. Coffee is elite and overall atmosphere and vibe is nice, only tried the food a few times but it was very good. Especially pizzas etc, and cakes are great. A focal point on the seafront staff are pleasant too.

Great food and even great atmosphere. The day we visited there was live music which was absolutely excellent! My favourite dishes are the vegan flatbread and an iced matcha latte! It’s also always exciting to see the cakes they have on offer each day!

BUNGALOW CAFE REVIEWS

Think Bungalow Cafe is the best place for breakfast in Sunderland with a great view over Roker sea front. Had the xl breakfast and my mother had the small breakfast which is quite a size too. Breakfast spot on, staff friendly and reasonably priced. Canny size tea pot if you just want tea. I'd highly recommend.

Lovely cafe situated right at Roker harbour entrance, with a great view across the water. Great for breakfasts, large portions, and quick friendly service. Limited seating, window seats always go first. Some parking outside, but lots of parking on streets in local area.

Proper cafe with great food, best breakfast in area by a mile. Staff are superb as well Great view if you get window seats overlooking the pier and beach.

COSTA COFFEE SUNDERLAND REVIEWS

Great place to pop in for a coffee and muffin whilst at the shops at Pallion, nice chilled atmosphere and don’t feel rushed. I had a latte and a sausage sandwich, choice of sauce and given a sachet when they bring your sandwich out. You can go through the drive through as well if you want a coffee on the go.

Great experience using the drive through. The man who was serving on the mic and at the window was very friendly and chatty while waiting for my drinks, just what you need when waiting in your car. It was a warm day so ordered a Salted Caramel frappuccino which was delicious.

Always a good experience. Great friendly staff, and always professional and polite.
