Brambles is a beautiful setting for a coffee shop on the banks of the River Wear with affordable hot and cold food. You could have lunch/dinner or snacks here and the food has been tremendous everytime we have visited. The staff are very polite and I think it holds about 100 inside (in a lovely cosy atmosphere) and also around 50-60 outside in a large outdoor seating area. In summer it becomes so busy that they put up a 50 seater marquee also which provides extra shade and shelter whilst eating your scones or sandwiches. I can highly recommend the paninis though, and my partner loves the fact that everything is locally produced and homecooked. If you are ever in the North East Brambles Coffee Shop is a great way to relax after looking round the adjoining Poplar Tree Garden Centre.
