Great coffee and location. Right on the bike path and also has a bike repair station with tools and a pump.

I like the Depot. It is the only true coffee shop in Urbana that I know of. I drink frozen coffee and prefer the taste of the coffee with the flavor as a bonus, but their drinks are more on the flavored milkshake side with coffee so faint you can't really taste it. Great place to meet though!

Location and ambiance is great. Frappes are good. Coffee is of average quality for a Coffee shop, at least last time I was there.

Came in on a weekday morning. No one in line and two staff Nicole and a male behind the counter. No one bothered to greet me despite not being busy. The staff continued their conversation while I stood at the register. Male finally comes over and asks for my order. I ask him a few questions about their blended selection and instead of explaining anything he points me to a menu. He then turns around and continues his conversation until he's ready to take my order.
Upon ordering a breakfast sandwich, it was wrong. I tell the female the correct order and she acted so disgusted with me. I tell her if it's going to be an issue I don't want it. She snidly remarks well the bacon is already cooking (in the microwave). Didn't taste good as the bacon was extremely hard. Over $10 for a coffee and croissant. Coffee is the only thing good here, but I think I'll stick to coffee expressions in Springfield since they carry the same brand and every encounter has been a pleasant experience as the staff is always extremely nice. Will not be back to this place!

This is always a reward stop on our bicycle ride from Springfield. Always delicious, especially the frozen vanilla latte. Always pleasant people to serve you.

This place is amazing. I worked at Urbana University for three and a half years and was surprised if I didn’t make it to The Depot three times a week. Great service and coffee. As a former barista I respect their attention to detail. Plus...it actually was a train depot! The Depot panini was my go too.

I stop at the Depot nearly every week for coffee. Sam is the best barista, she had remembered my “usual” drink after ordering it only a couple of times. Hopefully this historical location remains preserved for years to come. Many young men in the area came back from home from WW2 through this train depot, including some of my family members.

What could be more quaint than a coffee and sandwich shoppe in an classic ole railway depot???? It's beautiful, historical, and always bustling with all manner of folk. Some are cyclists on the Simon Kenton trail, some are local folk in for lunch, and some are business folk stopping as they pass through, as I often do. The coffee is absolutely great--far outshines Starbucks, in my opinion. Stop by, park there for your next bike ride on the trail, or have a lunch meeting--you won't be disappointed!

Friendly atmosphere. Offered to fill up my cold brew. Great to see a place like this succeed in Urbana!

Friendly service, cozy atmosphere. Love the option for outdoor seating in spring/summer months! Great quality of espresso. Second time coming here and it didn't disappoint!
