A premium coffee shop has opened a new location in Cambridgeshire.

Jamaica Blue, which has multiple locations across the UK, launched at Peterborough's Queensgate Shopping Centre on June 5.

The opening has created 20 new jobs and marks another step in the café chain’s UK expansion.

Michael Johnson, Franchise Development Executive at Foodco UK, said: "We’re delighted to officially open Jamaica Blue in Peterborough today and look forward to welcoming customers through the doors to enjoy our speciality coffee, fresh brunch, lunch and sweet dishes in a relaxed café setting.

Originally founded in Australia in 1992, Jamaica Blue takes its name from the Jamaica Blue Mountains, one of the world’s most celebrated coffee-growing regions.

The café offers a menu of made-to-order brunch and lunch options, along with gourmet sandwiches, cakes, and other treats.

Ed Ginn, Director of Investment Management at Invesco Real Estate, said: "Appealing to both weekday and weekend visitors, and breakfast through to an afternoon treat, Jamaica Blue brings a standout all-day dining concept that complements the evolving offer at Queensgate.

"The brand has broad customer appeal and adds further vibrancy to the centre, delivering a high-quality relaxed sit-down family dining experience."
