Coffee Depot in historic Downtown Riverside is regarded by many local citizens and college students as a true gem to the community. The coffee house has a rich history and has an appropriate name because the large building used to be used as a train depot for luggage during the early 1900s and although the building has naturally been restored, it is still very authentic and has a very traditional, depot type aura to it. The building itself is truly one of the largest coffee houses I have ever been to or heard of and is even two stories. There is a main room, a lounge/library, and another large room which functions as a sitting area and a room for performances and various events. Coffee Depot also has events such as Swing Dancing and Poetry Readings going on nearly every day of the week. Also, you can’t forget the great coffee! Coffee Depot really has a true, non commercialized taste in their coffee with a large menu with both coffee drinks and breakfast/ lunch foods similar to those of a café offering sandwiches and yogurt parfaits. The people behind the counter are also very friendly and always chatting up customers. The coffee shop is almost always full of people but it never really feels crowded because of the vast amount of seating. Coffee Depot is truly an amazing coffee house and I would highly recommend it for anyone to visit. GlobalYP.net is truly a great place to find local business listings online.
