The Front Parlour in Sunderland

Lovely setting & very tasty food (breakfast). Very attentive & service with a smile. Would definitely recommend & will return to try lunch at some point!

Small selection but great quality food. The place is nice and airy, clean, and tidy. Staff were polite, professional, and helpful. Great experience overall.

What a lovely place food was lovely and staff very friendly.

This cafe has lovely bright interior with friendly staff. Enjoyed my loaded sourdough toast and iced hazelnut latte was good too. Menu had many vegetarian options

Tried their Smoked Salmon & Avocado Bagel and it's amazing!! The staff are very friendly and polite. Loving the layout and atmosphere in the restaurant. Definitely a good place to enjoy tea and dessert. Will definitely come back again to try more dishes!

Went inside and sat down on a table for 5 minutes and was ignored. The place seems to be run by children who obviously don't know how to acknowledge customers.

Lovely Café, first time visiting today, it is near the botanical winter museum. Ordered an iced caramel latte and a cappuccino with pistachio syrup, came to £7.40, reasonable prices and nice drinks! Will definitely return. Food menu also looked nice and some cakes to choose from. Nice atmosphere and friendly service 😊

Best place to have a peaceful and mood elevating brunch.

Lovely restaurant, great food options and very reasonable price!

Amazing new cafe in Sunderland, dropped in for a Cortado to go, was Fabulous

Lovely service today! Had a bit of a wait to get a proper table but was offered the bar area, which was nice! Lovely friendly staff and dog friendly too!

A lovely clean, calm and contemporary cafe in the city centre. Went in for the pistachio latte, stayed for the loaded sourdough avocado smash. Both served quickly and tasted delicious!

Absolutely beautiful cafe! Food delicious, atmosphere really lovely, and they’re dog friendly! Highly recommend. (Also they have delicious veggie options).

An excellent addition to the coffee and branch options at Sunderland. The food, including the yoghurt bowl and the bagel, was delicious. The coffee was also wonderful. The prices were fair and the service was quick and friendly. I highly recommend that you give it a try.

Extraordinary choice of teas. Served in glass teapot so you can see the ingredients and the lovely colour as you pour. The Love Leaf Tea menu is like a good wine list, my choice was Citrus Rooibos which stayed hot in the pot and was in good measure for only £3.40 We just missed out on freshly prepared Moroccan Chickpea soup was sold out but will return a little earlier for lunch next visit. Chose grilled halloumi, crushed avocado hot honey, garlic & lemon on delicious toasted bread, topped with fresh peas shoots, was delicious. £7.25 A slice of sticky toffee/biscoff cake to finish was scrumptious. £3.80 Customer service was very welcoming, prompt & efficient service, dementia friendly and dog friendly. It is so much more than a coffee house and well situated right opposite the Winter Gardens and Mowbray Park.

Lovely cosy place with unconventional food and drink options, and great friendly staff! Would definitely visit again ☺️

We visited this morning and what a place this is. We were welcomed by the lovely, friendly owners. We had coffee and delicious cakes. My husband had a rhubarb custard blonde and I had a delicious frangipani apricot and pistachio slice. Lots of choice. We will return very soon.

Staff are incredibly friendly and the drinks are lovely. There is a vast selection of food to choose from that are very reasonably priced.

Lovely quirky hidden gem, toasties were done to perfection with thick sliced bread, lovey decor & friendly staff. Just a little wait for freshly prepared

Really enjoyed the sharing platter. The food was excellent, as was the service. Quaint little place with lovely decor. Looking forward to next time. Thanks

Visited today the Thai spicy soup utterly delicious, and the sandwich I chose to have with it was completely fresh made. I found it value for money I will not need anything else till tomorrow.

Gem of a place... Gorgeous food, excellent service, would highly recommend.

Came here for a quick snack and to say the least the food was outstanding, service was amazing all done by the same lady who was really attentive. Allowed us to swap items in our bagels to our choice as well as dietary requirements. Will be back if ever in the area

Lovely Coffee and food Ham, Mozzarella and Pesto toasty was delicious and friendly staff will be back again

The loveliest and most economical afternoon tea I've ever had. Beautiful place and very beautifully decorated. Owners are most attentive and helpful, the tea excellent and the 3 tiered sandwich trays divine!

Amazing food, lovely inside and one of the best coffee’s I’ve had in a long time!

Just picked up some gluten free cakes, wow they were absolutely delicious 100% recommend them.

Afternoon tea is an absolute delight! Delicious high quality food & lovely welcoming staff & atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back.

I’ve been a bit unwell of late so I haven’t been out of late however a lovely friend suggested we go out for lunch so we headed to The Front Parlour in sunderland and had such a lovely experience! What a beautiful setting, warm & friendly with a gorgeous menu with lots of GF options to enjoy! I opted for the loaded sourdough GF version which was served on fresh free from tiger loaf - packed with flavour and super fresh. The lovely owner said she had tried many GF breads & this was the one that withstood her taste test and I couldn’t agree more! It was gorgeous… I opted for the salted Carmel brownie which was gooey, moist and truly indulgent … This place felt like an absolute treasure and super comforting surroundings (and service) with food that makes you smile 😊 Cant wait to visit again

Sarnies, cakes, toasties, cakes, a nice cup of coffee, and not forgetting the cakes. Shame the place is so small but that's the only downside. Will be back.

Wonderful hidden gem. Fabulous food and drinks. Lovely atmosphere. Would give 6 stars if possible. Definitely worth a visit!!!
