Your WAterfront cottage in the city

The Silver Bean Café  is located in Peterborough / Nogojiwanong, Ontario: Millennium Park along the Otonabee River, and in the Canadian Canoe Museum.  Since 2003, we have offered an experience of food and coffee near the water.  We call ityour waterfront cottage in the city because the Silver Bean Café is a community café, your cottage experience in the city.
