Biz-R in Sunderland

The best coffee and pastries in Sunderland!

Great cafe fantastic coffee. However in my opinion it could with the furniture been renewed.Cant fault the staff they great.

If you need anything quick snack

Been a semi regular visitor of Biz-R for a good while now. Good spot in the centre with nearby parking and bus routes. They have a good selection of home made cakes, sandwiches and paninis. I usually opt for tea and a toastie but my favourite item has to be the chocolate flapjack. Prices seem a little high but happy to pay for an independent spot. Staff are always lovely and helpful. It can be hard to find a seat at times but just shows its popularity and staff will usually help to sort something out. The cafe has a real comforting, classic vibe, I love the signature blue and there’s something quaint about hearing the metro pass under you, I do think the decor could do with a little tidy up. It’s worth noting toilets are downstairs.

Friendly and helpful staff, great paninis and tasty coffee! Highly recommend 💫 Next to astonishing Tartarian building!

The coffee is lovely, not burnt and the service is amazing! There's seating inside and out and sometimes at busy times, you can struggle to find seating

Amazing super friendly staff, good quality coffee and food, highly recommended

Great place to have an outdoor coffee in a Sunderland...

Been coming to this coffee shop for years luv the feta cheese panini,s jacket pots salad.scones ..my usual is the Latte ..I get iced latte in summer hot in winter ..they play nice background music like van morrison ..well worth a visit 👍

Coffee really tasty, right temperature and the muffins are lush! Nice atmosphere too. Will return definitely.

Biz-r serving Sunderland with the best coffee and muffins! Love this place

The best independent coffee shop in Sunderland. Great staff and a real asset to the city

Really like the panini and homemade cakes

Still the best coffee shop in town. Great place great staff. Its our happy place :-)

Love this place! Good drinks and food. Great service. A really great place to sit and watch the world go by

Went for breakfast with my son. Staff are lovely and service is quick. Good food, especially scones and carrot cake.

Been coming to this cafe for many years and it's my favourite in Sunderland. Would highly recommend. Very friendly staff. The Durham BizR is just as good.

Great priced cafe in the north of Sunderland town centre. Breakfast wraps were very tasty and the cinnamon toast was great with a coffee

When in town always go here..lovely cakes..always spot on.

Absolutely delicious scone and marvellous pot of tea

Lovely place to come for a coffee and cake

Lovely coffee shop/cafe with impeccable service. The coffee is very nice and the food is delicious and well presented

Without a doubt the best coffee place in Sunderland. Stop by for a vast arrange of coffees an delicious food at reasonable prices

Lovely coffee (cortado), friendly staff. Nice place to relax sitting outside.

Lovely coffee bar, nice coffee also had a panini and toasty. Quick friendly service. Would use again & recommend

Excellent cafe for a lunchtime coffee, toastie and cake. Nice location on the High Street, great coffee and friendly staff.

Great staff great atmosphere great coffee and excellent scones 🙌🏽👌great as always 🥰

Nice food and beautiful staff of girls they sweet as sugar but when it comes to have real sugar for your drink they Parsimonious, if they gave you more than one that means you are blessed not just lucky

Got to be one of the best cafés in Sunderland Long established and food is prepared freshly on the premises Highly recommend the chicken, bacon and tomato panini Espresso is great The banana and toffee muffins are delicious very light 5*****

Nice friendly cafè and helpful staff - food is tasty.

Excellent service great coffee and nice staff.

Thank you again Biz R for making my son a fabulous caramel crumbley for his 21st Birthday 🎂 nothing to much trouble for the staff at biz r my no 1 coffee n cake shop will never go anywhere else ☕🍰😃

Service excellent staff very friendly and efficient

Very good coffe and friendly staff

Pleasant welcoming, friendly staff and nice coffee.

Hot latte was amazingly rich. I’ve tried various kinds of beans and have tasted several formulations of different milk and espresso, and the taste I had at Biz-R was outstanding.

Nice coffee and panini thank you. A nice place to just have a bite and sit and chill. Not busy when we visited

Had a coffee and a tea with the wife today very nice, clean, and friendly staff

Fantastic cafe, lovely friendly atmosphere, excellent staff, love the panini's, great tea.

This is our go to place for a cuppa snack or cake, staff always pleasant, reasonable prices and nice environment, also good outside in warmer weather...

Great selection, friendly staff and reasonable prices. The milkshakes were a particular highlight.

Allways pleasent coffee and staff. Tried the carrot cake - very average, no real taste and expensive.

Lovely latte and a toasted sandwich 👍

Wonderful mocca / café Just as it should be Highly recommended

Best cheese scones in Sunderland and always polite service

Came here this afternoon for a coffee, nice chilled atmosphere. We got caramel latte, tea and a vanilla with lemon cake and a raspberry and white chocolate which both were really nice. Staff were very friendly and serve us and got our order sorted quick. Would recommend coming here and would come here again.

Love this pub, food good, decor nice, staff friendly & lots of outside space.

This is our go-to place when staying over the bridge at the Hilton. Excellent sausage baps and their coffee is great. Friendly team and always fast service.

Very nice clean place customer service excellent friendly place

Lovely staff and service. Made to feel welcome in these current uncertain times.

Ice mocha and Americano lovely . However arrived well after food .

Popped in for coffee. Nice clean. staff friendly. Coffee very nice .

Best coffee in town good service great staff nowhere better for me

Always nice food here. Pleasant staff too. 10/10.

Usually a sunny corner, well organised. X

Best tasting coffee in Sunderland and prices are amazing, lovely to sit outside in summer. Good customer service too only downside is limited vegitarian options,

Nice place for a beverage and a bite to eat

Called this morning and sat outside. Great location for the venue right in the town centre. Coffee good Reasonable prices and service okay Good Covid protocols in place

Always stop off for cappuccinos and pannini, way better coffee than Costa or the other coffee chains tasty and full bodied

Great place 👍👍 called in for a coffee - great choice of coffee's, tea, breakfast and snack menu etc, great friendly staff and service. Will definitely call again 👍😊

Still the best espresso in town

We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn over the bridge but didn't want breakfast in our room so wandered over the bridge to find Biz R. Lovely coffee and tea, friendly staff, and the sausage baps were amazing! Went back the following day for breakfast again before heading off. We visited last year when our son graduated from Sunderland uni and standards are just as good and we would recommend to all. Lovely atmosphere inside, obviously a place locals love. In relation to Covid 19 they had plenty of hand sanitiser around, took track and trace information on arrival and tables were well spaced out. See you when we come back to visit again in the winter 😊

Came here with the family for a snack and a cuppa...staff were friendly and very prompt...even asking for more milk for my cuppa wasn't a issue...some places you go to.they just moan and mutter under their breath...been a couple of times now and it's become my fav cuppa place...prices are on par with other establishments ...so don't moan about cuppa prices...tea actually was tea and not some stewed slop served from a urn...well done staff! A big thumbs up!

The food was great and there are plenty of choices of food and drink.

Best scones in Sunderland ......lovely coffee too

Excellent , been going a good while , was a jewellers shop , I like the music .

Good coffee and cake and great service.

Generally very good but there could have been a language problem or a novice at the till today. Otherwise splendid.

After living away from the NE for almost 5 years we were looking forward to going back to our favourite coffee shop. I was diagnosed with Coealic disease a few years ago and this was our first time in the coffee shop since then. Ordered coffees and a toastie for my husband only to be told that they stock nothing gluten free apart from jacket potato. I did not want a hot meal only a snack. In this day and age Coealic disease is not a rare condition and all good cafes etc should stock something suitable to eat. Nearly every place we have been has had something, even if it is a pre wrapped chocolate brownie. Come on B-Zar get with the times! Unfortunately this will stop us coming back to a cafe we once loved.

Coffee stop Shopping in town this morning and called in for coffee. Good service and tasty coffee but for me the venue lacks a pleasant atmosphere . The loos are downstairs and if you are a bit old (72)then the stairs can be quite a chore. Good location

So I looked at the menu and I thought i would go for a breakfast bun with a coffee. The bacon and sausage sandwich was 3.55 and the coffee was 2.05. So I thought ok (expecting something quite special. The coffee was luke warm. The buttie was as good (at best) than a greggs buttie, which is more than half the price. Wouldnt recommend and will not come back

Great Paninis "Mango madness"highly recomend

Lovely cosy friendly place, food and coffee great

Often pop into BizR when in Sunderland, sit in the window with a coffee and a chocolate flapjack and watch the world go by. Nice place, nice staff.

In all of human history, since we decided to drink this black liquid, from plant to ground bean, a bad cup made in Biz R there has never been. We deserve good coffee not because life is easy, but because it is hard.

Smashing cafe. They always seem to have pleasant, unobtrusive music playing whenever I visit. Good cuppa and tasty scones, very friendly and quick service and a cracking view of Mackie's Corner to watch the world go by if you wish. Well worth popping in if you ask me, which if you are reading this I guess that you are. 😉

Love this coffee shop. Good food and staff are friendly and helpful

Lovely place, fantastic service, attentive staff with an attention to detail, will be back!!

This is the most amazing cafe ... With its amazing and friendly staff that always make you feel welcome and will always help in any way that they can

Always good staff r great and the scones r Rated a ten from me .the one in the scooter

Relaxed pace ..good food ..no one rushes you out ..sit outside and watch the world go by

My favorite café in the city. Good coffee, tasty food, friendly staff. And I love the music.

Great service, strongly recommend.

Best flat white in town and well organised staff .

Staff fantastic, caring and always polite

Really nice cafe. Reasonably priced. Nice outdoor and indoor space. Downside is how loud it gets when blenders for iced drinks comes on. If you are inside you struggle to have a conversation.

On my last visit I complained about the poor customer service when ordering at the till. I had been to Caffe Nero earlier...nobody engages with a queue of customers like they do..brilliant.Much improved service today from Biz-R but it could be a lot better.Send your staff to Caffe Nero on their dinner break..Smile, Speak ,Serve. That's the way to do it!

Best coffee in town, friendly staff and great atmosphere!

Great place for cake and coffee with your best friend

First time visiting biz-r lovely coffee friendly service music great as well.

My husband and I have been going to biz r many many years, the staff are happy and friendly the service is always outstanding, fantastic coffee excellent choice of cakes, pastries, sandwiches.Theres a lovely guy called paul who goes out if his way with all customers to make their visit memorable.I have visited many coffee shop throughout my journeys this is the best one in the world 😀😀😀😀

Fab place great prices great food great staff. No wonder my mother in law virtually lives in the place. As for the previous 1star reviewer being upset a member of staff appeared to ignore them. Well perhaps it was an important call and needed their full attention it happens

Gorgeous coffees and friendly staff. You have to try it.

I live this place. It's got a nice atmosphere, the staff are helpful and they have a good selection of cakes and things to eat Even when things go wrong I've found them fast to put things right and I keep going back Would recommend it coffees good and you can't fault the place

Called in before going to the Theatre didnt have too long I had a toastie & my husband a bacon buttie & 2 teas nice & not expensive clean quite busy

Great staff,coffee and yumee cakes

Everyone time I come in here I notice the same thing.When you stand at the till to be served you are ignored,not acknowledged and left to wait until they are ready to serve you.That happened today,instead of the lad acknowledging you and saying with a smile! I won't be a minute..he spent ages on the phone..sorting something out with not the slightest interest in the queue waiting to be served.Whoever runs the place needs to realise that customers are keeping them in business and should be treat properly and not arrogantly taken for granted.I'll try again but if it doesn't improve I'll not be back.

Very nice coffees cakes and scones. Very pleasant coffe cafe.

Their coffee and their food is delicious. Blueberry muffins are sublime. Really friendly staff and a very relaxing environment. Everything you want from a coffee house.

Great service, excellent cappuccino 😁
