Drove by here a lot while visiting Urbana. Today my wife and I decided to stop and get a coffee. The coffee selection was impressive and the atmosphere was nice. However, the service was horrible. The person taking orders was always on her phone. She did stop to take our order, which was nice. As soon as we ordered, she jumped back on the phone.
There were six or seven people working. A gentleman who was making his own coffee, eating cookies and chit chatting with the staff. We were thinking he was a supervisor or manager. Looked bad when customers are waiting and you are making your own personal coffee. The others were just talking and not helping with orders.
My wife’s coffee was made, then a person behind me got hers. I was standing there wondering where my order was. Then she was working on another coffee and the person taking orders pointed out my order tag. She looked frustrated, then got a cup and made my coffee.
While all this was going on, the line was getting bigger and bigger and no one else helped make coffee. The crew was still chit chatting. However, only one was making coffee, the rest were having social hour.
Thank you for your response. The coffee was good, so we will pass on the gift card. We do appreciate the thought though. We will stop by sometime when we are back in Urbana.

Adorable place to grab a cup of coffee. A repurposed train depot it has tons of character. The only thing I had was a cold brew and it was a little bitter. They use Crimson Cup beans and my experience is that its cold brew is a little bitter. So par for the course.

Good coffee, great pastries, and some sandwiches if you are really feeling peckish. Out on the west-side of Urbana along one of the bike trails, it is a great place to stop if you are in the area or travelling through. There is a lot of seating inside and out. The outdoor seating is mostly in the covered space around the back (the train platform). Solid, comfortable, rustic tables inside add to the overall aesthetic.
Coffee was very good. My espresso was poured to perfection and the others said that theirs were good as well.
Friendly staff, very clean, and they kept the inside as true to it’s origins as they could.

Coffee was good. Order slightly messed up but nothing major. I probably didn’t need drizzle anyways. Cool location. Croissant was average good. Coffee a good 4.25 rating

This is a really cool place to visit if you like the old train station vibe.
Seemed to have plenty of parking and didn’t seem too busy until I sat down to enjoy my blended iced milky way coffee and realized their staff was very efficient handling the constant flow of traffic.
Did not try any of their food.
Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.
Service was excellent.

I really like this place! It’s so much better than any other coffee place in Urbana. There’s a cute interior inside an old train depot, plenty of inside and outside seating, and lots of parking. Lots of baristas, the one who helped me was friendly. I had the New Orleans cold brew and the Mediterranean sandwich, both were great. I’ll for sure come back here.

Great location along the bike path with a rail car. Something for everyone inside. There are steps leading into the shop. Plenty of room inside to move around and wait for drinks and food. The roast beef sandwich was great and filling, the bread is amazing. Try the macaroni salad, it’s out of this world! The baristas were all knowledgeable and friendly. Great prices on everything. Tried a loose leaf tea that was so good!

I didn’t go inside and I have no idea who made my frozen hot chocolate, but I LOVE YOU. I hope both sides of your pillow stay cool and your water never to be warm in the summer. -with heavy love, your local clown

The Depot is my “go to” place for a latte and good sandwich! They always feature local artists and the atmosphere is relatively quiet so I can visit easily with friends. Great staff too!
