The Pike Snack Shack
Shack
The Pike Snack Shack is a family run coffee stop at the gateway to the West Pennine Moors. As the name implies this is a shack, not a sit in cafe. Although there are a few seats outside, this one seems more "on the go". They sell pies, pasties, snacks and a good selection of hot and cold drinks.
Fika Rivington
Shack
A small coffee stop above Rivington Terraced Gardens and below Rivington Pike Tower. They sell hot drinks and cakes. This is a shack type building, with no real indoor area. There are a few places to sit outside but this is more of a takeaway.
