5. Breakfast through to late night offering
Flower Cafe is described as featuring ‘an eccentric mix of global design accents, centred around a playful floral influence’ and will offer a continental style service from breakfast to late nights, and a menu of great cocktails, beers, patisserie, gourmet sandwiches, sweet treats, gelato ice creams and healthy options. | Pulp Studios Design House

6. Third in the local chain
The first Flower Cafe opened in 2021 and proved so much of a hit with Tynesiders that a second cafe was opened in Alnwick at the end of 2023. It is hoped the Sunderland cafe bar will enjoy similar success. | Pulp Studios Design House
