Fireweed Cafe & Mercantile

Operating at 21 S Glasgow Ave in Rico, Fireweed Cafe & Mercantile keeps its doors open every day except Tuesdays from 6:30 AM to 3:30 PM. This locally owned establishment serves coffee, which staff claim is the "world's best," alongside a menu featuring smoothies, paninis, and salads. The turkey frittata is a standout morning item that often sells out by 9:00 AM, while farm eggs provide additional options. The mercantile side stocks grocery essentials, dried mangoes, shirts, and hats, allowing visitors to grab a meal and browse goods in the same space. Inside, the atmosphere feels like an old-timey location with plenty of seating, while an outdoor patio and a dedicated puppy parking area near the side deck accommodate visitors with dogs. Live music occasionally fills the air, adding to the cozy, comfortable vibe that makes it the hub of the Rico community.
