And for this year’s UK Coffee Week, we asked the Gazette readers to shout out their favourite cafes in South Tyneside.

The charity initiative, in aid of Project Waterfall, aims to bring clean drinking water to coffee-growing communities and raise money to support them.

Businesses taking part in UK Coffee Week can donate from every cup or bag of coffee sold.
