Tasty treats hailed as 'doughnuts that dreams are made of' by customers have made a triumphant return to the coast after a difficulty battle through the cost of living crisis.
R Place has opened a new shop on Nile Street in North Shields, in news that is sure to delight fans of the popular doughnut business. Co-owned and run by best friends Rachel Holmes and Emily Cromarty, both 31, R Place has proven hugely popular since taking Newcastle by storm a few years ago with show-stopping doughnut flavours including Toasted S'mores, Brown Butter Biscoff, Profiterole and Tiramisu.
After meeting in college over a decade ago and working various jobs together, Rachel and Emily realised that they were the dream team and decided to venture into opening their own business. Initially starting out with a coffee stall at a Newcastle market in 2017, the pair later off to London to study the art of doughnut-making - and returned to bring the "the world's most delicious gourmet doughnuts" to Tyneside.
