Love the depot so much!! I come here just about everyday! The atmosphere is great! Everyone is so friendly and relational. If I need to get work done, they have a quiet space with tables in the back. The coffee here is AMAZING!! By far the best coffee in Ruston. I love the drip coffee, lattes, espresso. Land of a Thousand Hills is a great coffee brand and the proportions of coffee, milk, and syrup are PERFECT! The baristas are super sweet and relational as well!:)

This is one of the best coffee shops I have ever been to in my life. The people are so friendly and make me feel extremely welcome every time I walk through the door. The manager knows me by name and makes me feel like such a valued customer. They for sure have the best drip coffee in town and what makes it even better is that it is sourced from Rwanda for a GREAT CAUSE!!! Make this place your first stop when you go to Ruston!!

The best tasting and lowest price coffee in town. Ethically sourced coffee and a positive atmosphere are some amazing perks of "The Depot"

it's lit y'all. not really. but the coffee is great. the store is owned by some people who also own the Starbucks in town, but this place is better (and cheaper). this is my favorite joint in town. I've never tried the pastries or anything, tho. anyway, each and every time a friend of mine comes to town and wants coffee, this is THE place I go to. I always get the blended iced zebra, and my friends ALWAYS like it. if you are in ruston looking for some decent coffee, then you should go elsewhere, because The Depot only makes good stuff.

I've been a regular all through college -- best coffee in Ruston, love the dark roast. If you want a cold drink, the Oxford is definitely my favorite. Great place to study and to meet up with people

I love this coffee shop. My London Fog is always delicious, the staff is friendly and courteous and the prices are very reasonable. The atmosphere is relaxing and I enjoy sitting on the couch reading and sipping my drink. This place offers an area for groups to meet and has the standard tables as well as the couches and comfy chairs.
