Rico's Coffee Shop is one of Peterborough's longest-established independent cafés, serving quality coffee, freshly prepared food and great value long before the national coffee chains arrived in the city.
Conveniently located in the Rivergate Centre, we are a popular choice for local workers, shoppers, visitors and commuters looking for a friendly place to eat, drink and relax. We're just a short walk from Peterborough Railway Station, the Passport Office, council offices, the courts and Peterborough United Football Club.
Whether you're joining us for breakfast, lunch, coffee and cake, or simply grabbing a takeaway on the go, you'll always receive a warm welcome from our team.
Our menu features traditional café favourites, freshly prepared sandwiches, jacket potatoes, breakfasts, daily specials and a wide selection of hot and cold drinks. We're proud to offer excellent quality and value that keeps customers coming back year after year.
Rico's also benefits from a covered outdoor seating area within the Rivergate Centre, allowing customers to enjoy their food and drinks in the open air while remaining sheltered from the weather.
If you're looking for a traditional local coffee shop with friendly service, great food and a strong connection to the Peterborough community, we look forward to welcoming you to Rico's.
