The pandemic may be putting paid to our chances to meet up with friends for a warming brew.
But there’s still plenty of memories to enjoy while we wait for the day when we can chat over a cuppa once more.
We asked followers of the Sunderland Echo’s nostalgia page on Facebook ‘Which was the Sunderland cafe you loved the most in decades gone by?’
Dozens of people gave their replies on the Wearside Echoes page and here are some of their answers.
To enjoy the page yourself, why not apply to be a member here. After all, it’s free!
And in the meantime, join us on a retro journey to cafes we’ve loved over the years.
