Nicola's coffee and cakes in Sunderland

Had a afternoon tea voucher to spend here, got a call to say they have sold the business and to come with the voucher and collect my afternoon as they finished at 4pm I asked the owner if I could just have my money returned of 25.00, he was really aggressive and said no I don’t what to give you the money, his wife just walked away and his daughter I think was having her say as well. I was disgusted with there attitude to me I have been in there numerous times, if anyone else has vouchers unused you have till 4pm today 27 nov to get your afternoon tea angry horrible people they are, hope they don’t have a good retirement

Visited on 16th November for a baby shower. The food is all home baked and is amazing. The corned beef pie was my favourite and I brought some home for my partner who loved it too. Lots of choice and very reasonable price. I’d definitely recommend for any function or even just to pop in for a lunch - beautiful place with wonderful staff.

Cakes and sandwiches are amazing! Especially love the pink slices and peach melbas! They are our go to for homemade cakes. Always great service and friendly atmosphere

Absolutely lovely food, lovely staff, nothing too much trouble for them, lovely atmosphere, would definitely return 😁

Where do I start? 10 of us visited to celebrate Mams 80th birthday. Afternoon tea to die for. Freshly made everything sandwiches cakes scones quiches pies the list is endless. Staff are amazing & so helpful. Can't wait for the next birthday but we'll be back before then for lunch or a cheeky cake & coffee. Love ya all💖💖💖

Wow- amazing afternoon spent in Nicola’s for Mam’s Birthday. You actually choose your own package for the afternoon tea rather than be presented with some small bits that you may not like. Choice of sandwich, pie or quiche, savoury or sweet scone and a choice from the vast array of cakes - along with unlimited tea or filter coffee. All for £13.50 per person- what a bargain. It was delicious, fresh and beautifully presented. The staff are attentive and keep your drink topped up. Certainly be back really soon- just one problem, what to choose.

From beginning to the end of our afternoon tea service was excellent and staff so friendly. The afternoon tea was amazing. Really liked that you could choose your sandwich, pie or quiche (homemade), and a piece of homemade cake. Lots of choice. Free refills too on tea and coffee. First time here and it won’t be the last.

Visited this welcoming and friendly establishment with my sisters today. Afternoon tea was delicious with a good variety of savoury and sweet delights. Very attentive and pleasant staff.....will certainly be back. Highly recommended.

We stopped in for lunch, lured by the good reviews, and were certainly not disappointed. My wife ordered the tuna melt toastie, and mine was the bacon and brie toastie. Each was served open-face on a thick slice of homemade bread accompanied by roast potato wedges and an elegant little balsamic-dressed salad. We were surprised (pleasantly) by the open-face style, and with the very thick slice of bread we chose to eat the toasties with knife and fork. The only disappointment (if you could call it that) was that the plates were so substantial that there was no room left to try the marvelous looking cakes. Another time. I must also mention the staff were delightfully friendly and helpful, and the premises beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. We are not often in Sunderland, but will certainly return to Nicola's whenever we can.

My friend and I visit most weeks for the delicious scones, and a very friendly welcome. Cakes and pies all look lush but we still stick to the various home made scones which are always wholesome and fresh. A lovely touch with this little cafe is when you have a hot drink you get a little home made shortbread biscuit with it just enough.

1st visit here for me certainly won’t be my last came with a group of friends some had been here before, food all fresh and homemade so much to choose from spoilt for choice, staff very attentive and friendly. Everything was fantastic can’t wait to return.

Our visit to Nicola’s was a delightful surprise - we were not expecting fresh, homemade food of such good quality! Nicola’s is clean and tidy with a pleasant atmosphere, nice staff and reasonable prices. Definitely worth a visit!

Brought my Mam here for the first time and we had a really lovely lunch. The quiche was amazing and the coffee really nice. We were so tempted by the beautiful cakes that we got some to take away. So nice to have a place like this on our doorstep as there is nowhere like this close by to get nice cakes and coffee.

A lovely friendky spotlessly clean cafe, an extensive menu to suit vegetarians too. Open from 8.30 for breakfast (which I'll be back for), but the cakes and scones all home made on the premises were amazing you were spoilt for choice, coffee and fruit tea delicious and a lovely piece of shortbread to go with it. Absolutely delicious can't wait to go back.

Love this lovely little tea room, the food is fantastic and excellent value. The staff are so friendly and accommodating, it's quickly become a firm favourite to visit for catch ups with family!

I’ve sampled quite a bit of the menu & haven’t been disappointed once from doorstop sandwiches , delicious cakes & scones to a beautiful proper homemade Sunday roast , highly recommended

We have passed by this establishment on a

Called in with my wife..brilliant coffee house with a fantastic choice of sweets and cakes. Only problem was choosing which one!!!

What a lovely little cafe this is a bit snug but scones are super, and their cakes and pies really look lovely, service both efficient and very friendly, nice touch that they always offer a pot of water along with my black tea, usually have to ask in other places. Everything baked by a lovely gentleman who brings your food to the table. Another nice touch is a small home baked shortbread with your tea or coffee, delicious

Visited last week and was hugely impressed. There's a good range of quiches and pies and the selection of cakes is amazing. Everything appears to be homemade, the tea room is clean fresh and beautifully decorated in a vintage style. Had a quick look at the menu and there's a great choice of things other than quiche although that is our favourite, and it is actually difficult to find a good quiche that is not too eggy, bland, or thick undercooked pastry. The waitress was lovely and went out of her way to make us welcome. We loved everthing we had and can't wait to go back and try more.
