Depot Coffee House | The Freight Room — Restaurant in Hopkins

This place is my absolute favorite coffee shop in the world! I used to be on the student board of directors here back in high school, and I've loved this place ever since! The Friday night concerts are always a great time with local bands, the free open mic Tuesdays are often a hit too, and there's native plantings, solar panels, a rain barrel and more that make this building even more environmentally friendly! They have the best fair-trade & organic coffee and lots of delicious food/ snack items! (And yummy ice cream in the warmer months) It's a very popular biking and walking and rollerblading hub with plenty of parking available to launch a recreational adventure in all four seasons, with cross country skiers sometimes passing by in the winter months too. There are even some bike accessories available for purchase too. Beautiful outdoor patio, plenty of seating and great multipurpose rooms inside for organization/ business/ town hall meetings. I can't say enough positive things about this place. Please help support this wonderful organization: both the non-profit and business...

I love the coffee here usually and they make the best iced white chocolate lattes, but there are some consistency issues. I never know when my drink is going to be bitter or creamy when I come in.

She could not taste the coconut or chocolate. I had to go to work and there was a line, so unfortunately I did not have time to get it remade. This is not the first time I have had this happen. For example, I’ve ordered the iced white chocolate latte and have had it taste three different ways. I really do enjoy their drinks here, but at $7 a drink after tip I can’t justify wasting money by having to throw out the drink multiple times. I really hope their consistency issue gets fixed, as I would much rather support small local coffee shops instead of large coffee chains...

Cozy Pleasantly not a chain, with a resultant enjoyable one of a kind feeling. The coffee is good, appealing pastries, and comfortable seating, both indoors and outdoors. It's at a bicycle trailhead, so there's a peaceful vibe. I would have given it five stars but the spot where you put cream and sugar in your coffee is kind of crowded in right by the entrance, so it's not easy to use, especially if you are with a friend and both want to use the space, well someone is entering or exiting. Otherwise, the...
