Restaurants and cafes still can’t open for sit-in custom as part of the restrictions imposed to combat Covid-19 – but from March 8 we will be allowed to meet a friend in public and enjoy a takeaway coffee.
There’s plenty of independent coffee shops in Sunderland and Seaham offering a takeout service of their drinks, sweet treats and more. As part of our ongoing #SupportLocal campaign, we’ve rounded up some suggestions of places to try. To have your business added to the guide email [email protected]
