On "Friends", what was the name of the coffee shop where Rachel worked?

On "Friends," the coffee shop where Rachel worked was Central Perk.

Central Perk was the sitcom’s main gathering place, where Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Ross, Chandler, and Joey regularly met on the orange sofa. Rachel began working there after leaving her job at her father’s company and gradually became more comfortable as a waitress, despite having little practical work experience.

Rachel worked at Central Perk for much of the early series. Her manager, Gunther, secretly loved her, while Rachel often struggled with the job’s routine and customer-service demands. She eventually quit in the third season to pursue a career in fashion, later working for companies including Bloomingdale’s and Ralph Lauren.

A common mix-up is confusing Central Perk with another recurring location, Monica’s apartment. Central Perk was fictional, although its name and distinctive orange sofa became among the show’s most recognizable symbols.
