Here’s some of the places you can visit along the coastline for a brew with a view, in no particular order, from Roker staples such as Sue’s to new coffee hot spots, such as Ruhe.
9. The Tram Shelter, Seaburn
A beautiful restoration of the old tram shelter, the new Blacks Corner has proved a real asset to the seafront, serving brunches through to evening small plates. It also has a takeaway hatch.
10. Ruhe, Roker Park
Ruhe has proved a great addition to Roker Park, serving quality coffees, smoothies, salads, sandwiches and more.
11. Fausto
A popular spot for cyclists completing the C2C route, Fausto offers high energy foods and cuppas with a view of Roker Pier. It’s also a great spot to pick up beers from local breweries, such as North Pier Brew Co and Vaux. It also has its own on site pizzeria, Fausto Pizza,
12. Coast, Pier Point
As well as being a great evening bar with offerings such as silent discos and bottomless brunches, Coast has a good daytime offering.
