21. The Coffee Snug at The Chair, High Street East
A real hidden gem, the coffee snug opened down the cobbled alleyway at the Eagle Building (next door to Quayside Exchange) in the East End. It's an extension to The Chair, a hairdressing and cosmetology business already based in the building. Head down for coffee made from Baristocracy beans, filled croissants, cookies, bagels and more. | Sunderland Echo
22. 21 Social pizzeria, corner of John Street and St Thomas Street
21 Social is a pizzeria and cocktail place in the former 808 Bar & Kitchen. Expect Detroit-style pizza and more, as well as art works on rotation from local artists. | Sunderland Echo
