Fausto Coffee

About Fausto Coffee

Fausto Coffee sits on Marine Walk, the lower promenade at Roker, close to the end of the C2C cycle route where riders finish their coast-to-coast crossing. It has become a regular stop for cyclists, runners and sea swimmers as well as people walking the seafront between Roker Pier and Seaburn.

The coffee is roasted by the business itself, with single-origin beans served as espresso drinks and filter, alongside toasted bagels, toasties, scones, pastries and cakes made in house. There is seating inside and out on the promenade, which makes it an easy place to warm up after a beach walk. The same team also runs cafes at Sunderland Aquatics Centre and Silksworth Community Pool. Opening times vary with the seasons and the weather, so it is worth checking the cafe's social media before making a special trip in winter.
