Grinder Coffee Co.
Their signature blend is a bright, full-bodied medium roast, and the coffee here is mellow, well-rounded and perfect for those who love a bold cup first thing in the morning. Pair your latte, cappuccino or espresso with one of the locally-made cakes (Sunderland’s pink slice is a popular choice) and choose to sit in or take away at either of these coffee shops.

The family-run speciality coffee shop and roastery bring top quality, speciality grade, carefully sourced arabica coffee beans from around the world to UK coffee drinkers, and you can sample their coffee first hand at the coffee shop.
