The Depot Cafe

SOUPS OF THE DAY
You never know what you’ll find simmering, but whether it’s a light tomato-basil soup, or something heartier like corn and clam chowder, you’ll be glad you got a cup.
CHICKEN SALAD
Take it from the Exit Zero staff, these folks serve up a creamy chicken salad without match in this town. Same goes for the egg and tuna salads.
HOAGIES
Out-of-towners may call them subs, but for a taste of what South Jersey does best, get an Italian hoagie loaded with aged provolone, Genoa salami, capicola and prosciutto.
DAILY SPECIALS
Locals clamor for the Depot’s signature Indonesian Chicken Salad, and their soft-shell crabs are always in demand too. Every day brings something new.
BAKED GOODS
A yummy spread of freshly baked brownies, cakes and cookies.
WHERE IS IT?
Tucked into Elmira Street, near the Cape May bus station.
WHY SHOULD I GO?
Fine dining is all well and good, but sometimes, you don’t want a multi-course with a menu full of words you have to Google on your iPhone. You want delicious food without spending half your paycheck on it, you want to sink your teeth into a mouth-watering sandwich or slice of meatloaf without worrying about your elbows on the table. You want reliably good, comfortable, affordable. You want what the Depot’s got. And whether it’s breakfast, lunch, dinner, or coffee and a muffin on the fly, there’s a reason why this place is always full of locals. Start your day with locally brewed coffee, a scrumptious breakfast sandwich, or fresh-baked muffin (we like the donut ones). Lunch? Choose from two soups - sometimes three! - and a panini special. Dinner time is any time - grab it now and reheat it later. Or make a meal out of one of their outrageous salads. Specials every day.
INSIDER TIP
The Depot Market also caters, so call them for your next event. And check their Facebook page for daily specials.
