The Boardwalk Lounge is a downtown Peterborough board-game cafe with a real comfort-food menu, local drinks, reservations, and a 650-plus game library. Mac and Cheese, Exploding Chicken, cookies, D&D, trivia, and family programming make it a full stay-and-play visit rather than a cafe stop.
Gerti's is a downtown Peterborough gastropub established in 2005, with a current official menu built around chef-driven pub comfort, handhelds, features, desserts, pickup, reservations, and heated patio dining.
Kit Croissanterie & Cafe is a Hunter Street bakery-cafe built around handmade croissants, espresso-based drinks, and a community-first room. The draw is the pastry case: Butter Croissant, Pain Au Chocolat, Ham & Cheddar Croissant, seasonal bakes, and a queer, woman-led sober-space identity.
Downtown Peterborough breakfast-and-lunch cafe with a 1930s gangster room, Famous Eggs Benedict, dollar chips, generous plates, and fast daytime service.
