This is post from our Peterborough Spotlight newsletter about a popular Coffee Shop Bewiched Coffee Peterborough.

Hope you enjoy it 😄👍

Bite of the Week: A Slice, a Smile, and a Brew at Bewiched

Tucked on Bridge Street like your favourite old book in a library, Bewiched Coffee is the kind of spot that feels less like a café and more like a good mood waiting to happen.

Whether you’re swinging by for a morning caffeine fix or settling in for a natter, the vibe here is pure Peterborough: no pretence, just proper coffee, cheeky cake slices, and the sort of welcome that makes you feel like a regular even if it’s your first time through the door.

Locals rave about their cherry Bakewell slices (the kind that threaten to upstage your flat white), but it’s the people behind the counter that steal the show—genuine, chatty, and always game for a laugh. Dog walkers, students, OAPs, buggies… everyone fits in here. And that’s rare.

Top tip: Order your coffee, grab the window seat, and watch the world shuffle by. It’s therapy—but with cinnamon on top.❤️❤️☕️☕️

Easy Summer Recipe: Eton Mess… With a Twist

Eton Mess is basically British summer in a bowl—light, sweet, and just the right amount of chaotic. And this version throws in a little lemon zest and crushed shortbread for extra oomph.

What you’ll need:

A punnet of strawberries (or raspberries, or whatever berry’s on offer)

1 tub of double cream

4–5 ready-made meringue nests

Zest of 1 lemon

A couple of shortbread biscuits (for crunch)

A spoon and a bowl, and ideally, a sunny garden

How to do it:

Whip the cream until it’s just holding its shape—don’t overdo it.

Roughly crush the meringues and shortbread (bash them with the back of a spoon, no need for faff).

Hull and chop your strawberries—save a few for topping.

Gently fold everything together with a whisper of lemon zest.

Serve in bowls, glasses, or straight from the mixing bowl with one spoon between friends.

Top tip: Add a splash of elderflower cordial or a dash of booze (Pimm’s or limoncello) if you’re feeling grown-up.

However, properties are taking approximately 15 weeks to sell, and sellers are often reducing asking prices by around 2.3% to attract buyers.
