The Sweet Petite in Sunderland

Very friendly service and good food. Sweet Petite brings a bit of class to the High Street in Sunderland city centre. I hole they do well.

Received voucher from granddaughter who works at theatre in town, we live out of town been to retrieve voucher many times always disappointingly closed, today saw chairs outside when visiting town, ah open, only three seats inside all taken , spoke to waitress was told voucher ran out, explained always closed when attended shop, very unhelpfully not in least interested, granddaughter upset we not able use voucher, Sure won't be given good review either, lovely shop bad service 😢

The best afternoon tea you will ever have. We come back here again and again because you just don’t get quality like it anywhere else. It’s such a lovely little shop as well with great atmosphere. Everything from the counter is also delicious. I would go everyday if my waist line and purse let me.

Fabulous staff, amazing service, beautiful food, lovely venue, we could have not have asked for anything more than the wonderful afternoon we had at sweet petite celebrating my mams 70th birthday. You truly made the day very special and I can not thank you and all the very hard working staff enough 🥂🧁💜

I visited The Sweet Petite as I was lucky enough to get a Festive Afternoon Tea slot, they are like gold dust. It's quite local to me so I knew how pretty it was inside and I'd heard excellent reviews so I had high hopes. My friend and I arrived to a beautifully decorated shop front and inside the tea room was just as festive and pretty. We sat at our table and were immediately asked if we'd like tea or coffee and if we wanted some glasses for our champagne. (You can bring your own alcohol and don't even get charged a corkage fee 🥰). When our afternoon tea arrived it looked amazing. It was so pretty I didn't want to dig in, however, that lasted about 30 seconds as I noticed the home made sausage roll was warm. After devouring that, the turkey and cranberry sandwich, the mini charcuterie board and the cheese & crackers, I started the next tier. Everything was perfect. The mince pie had the shortest pastry that melted in your mouth, it was filled with a good helping of brandy soaked mincemeat and topped with velvety Italian (I think) meringue. I then went on to eat every single scrap of every tier, each of which were entirely delicious. The staff were attentive, friendly and polite and the whole experience was first class. I have had a lot of afternoon tea's, some very expensive ones in London and this tops them all. Pricing was very reasonable and I absolutely 100% recommend a visit. There are two counters filled with goodies to buy if you pop in, such as different flavoured individual cheesecakes, quiches, millionaire's shortbread, éclairs, sweet tarts and so much more. All at a great price and all absolutely huge in portion size. I will be back very shortly and my diet will suffer badly after tasting how good this place is.

Absolutely loads to eat and unlimited tea or coffee. The food was lovely and plentiful. There was so much we brought some home. Really friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

I walked past here many times when it’s been closed. Today was our lucky day. Walked in to a lovely welcome and a display of the finest patisseries in the North of England. These are all skillfully and passionately made with a very personal touch. Quality like these are seldom seen outside of London. The tastes and textures are so obviously craft and handmade from scratch. We will be back to sample the afternoon teas and other items. And, for the birthdays that are soon coming up. Well done to the whole team there.

Googled to find cafes in Sunderland whilst visiting for the day and this was one of the options. As soon as we saw the photos on Facebook we new we wanted to try it. It's a lovely clean well presented little cafe that provides the opportunity to eat in or take away. We chose to eat outside as it was a lovely sunny day. The staff were lovely and friendly and service was good and timely. There was a large range of cakes and desserts to choose from and we all chose something different and everything was delicious and beautifully presented . Tea and coffee was good too. A couple of tables were having the afternoon tea we all had abit of food envy when we saw it come out. It looked amazing. Price wise we found it very reasonable i had a cheesecake and a coffee and it was under £8 the portions are large so it's good value . When I'm next in Sunderland I will definitely call here and sample something else

Had afternoon tea with my friends, this was our 2nd visit and it is absolutely delicious, not too expensive and more than enough food, we all took a box of cakes home with us as we couldn't eat it all. I'd highly recommend a visit here.

Second time visit for afternoon tea. Would highly recommend, delicious and well presented. Choice of sandwiches, quiche, scones (cheese & fruit) with full size cakes and unlimited tea. Staff are polite and friendly. Also a great choice of cakes to takeaway.

Myself, mam and sister have been today for afternoon tea. Absolutely amazing food. The cakes are huge and taste amazing, all fresh and real cream!. Unlimited tea/coffee. The staff couldn't do enough for us, very welcoming atmosphere. Plus, the inside is lovely, very cosy decor, and it doesn't feel like you're in Sunderland. Will definitely be back!

Really lovely afternoon tea, well priced, staff very friendly and helpful. Beautiful decor and table settings.

Absolutely outstanding and so reasonably priced. Friendly courteous staff and owners. Definitely be returning .

Went for afternoon tea for my Mams 80th birthday. The cakes and scones were beautiful but sandwiches were disappointing. Only one each and no choice. We would have preferred more sandwiches and less cake. We did take leftover cake and scones home (there were loads). It was a bit pricey but lovely for a special occasion.

Lovely afternoon tea and super filling, we ended up boxing more than half of it up! Staff were really friendly and the interior was gorgeous! I’d definitely recommend ☺️

Went for afternoon tea with a friend. Everything was delicious. The mango macaroon was amazing as was the cheese and chutney scone. Best afternoon tea I've ever had. Need to book to go back ASAP.

Not often we head into town now but we popped into The Sweet Petite as we had family visiting and some time to kill. The place is small but there was comfortably enough space for four adults and three kids sat outside. The owner showed up with some new cushions for the cast iron chairs we were sat on to make us more comfortable and in an act of clumsiness I managed to drop a drink I'd just bought. Quick as a flash he brought out a replacement, which was much appreciated in the sun. Our group tried the raspberry cheesecake, an individual portion that was easily stacked high enough for two, and some coffee. All went down well and the service was fantastic.

Amazing afternoon tea, everything about this place is just fab! Cakes and savouries were just delicious and so much choice. You can take away but get there early!!! Service was spot on even though they were rushed off their feet, can’t wait to return

FIRST VSIT .Staff very attentive,all food fresh,tasty, and delicious.Ate as much as we could ,took a full box of cakes home! And obviously bought some more .Paid the going rate for an up market cake shop but worth EVERY penny . Delightful .WELL DONE ! You’ve got it so right.
