Black & Bloom Opens at The Old Station Quarter

We are excited to announce that Black & Bloom is now open inside The Old Station Quarter.

Created as a rich, welcoming coffee experience in one of Peterborough’s most distinctive venues, Black & Bloom brings together quality coffee, fresh food, cold drinks and a relaxed space designed for conversation, creativity and community.

Coffee at the Heart of the Quarter

Black & Bloom has been built around the atmosphere of The Old Station Quarter. Exposed brickwork, warm interiors, industrial details and a creative community all come together to create a space that feels different from a traditional high street coffee shop.

Whether you are visiting for a meeting, catching up with friends, working remotely or stopping by before or after an appointment, Black & Bloom offers a calm and comfortable place to enjoy great coffee.

A Bespoke Coffee Blend

For this new location, we have developed a bespoke coffee blend created specifically for Black & Bloom. The result is a slightly darker roast with a rich, full-bodied flavour, using a multi-origin blend of Fairtrade and Organic beans.

It has been crafted for early starts, strong conversations and people who appreciate coffee made with care.

More Than Just Coffee

Alongside coffee, Black & Bloom also serves a selection of food, pastries, hot drinks and cold drinks, making it a great place to stop throughout the day.

With seating, Wi-Fi and a relaxed environment, it is also a useful space for informal meetings, working between appointments or taking a moment away from the day.

Part of The Old Station Quarter Community

Located inside The Old Station Quarter, Black & Bloom sits alongside a growing mix of independent businesses, including boxing, barbering, tattoo artistry, fitness and wellbeing services.
