Fodor's Expert Review The Depot Coffeehouse and Bistro

Like historic downtown Hattiesburg itself, the menu here respects time-honored traditions, but wraps them with a modern approach. Locally sourced ingredients, fresh breads and pastries, as well as house-made sauces (tomato remoulade) and condiments (cranberry mayo) lend a flavor of authenticity to local favorites like crawfish rolls and wasabi-potato salad. Although the sandwich selection is a little sparse for vegetarians, the grilled-cheese option comes with your choice of five cheeses. Coffee aficionados will appreciate the Counter Culture direct-trade blends, and tea devotees can choose from a variety of award-winning rishi teas. Outdoor seating is available.
