5. Paticake Patisserie, Tunstall Road
Social distancing is well organised at this colourful cafe where you can pick up a kaleidoscope of cakes. Make sure to try the cortado coffee which is particularly good. Photo: JPI Media
6. Cole cafe and Deli, St George's Terrace, Roker
The owners of Cole cafe decided it was just too small for social distancing inside, but you can still visit for a great range of takeout options. For an evening meal, look out for its excellent supper club menus. Photo: JPI Media
