This is definitely a neighborhood gem.. we’ve wanted to stop so many times on our way to the beaches but never did UNTIL TODAY. And it was definitely worth it… so we’ll be planning our trips to the beach around The Historic Bean Depot Cafe.. a must stop.. food, atmosphere, staff everyone was great 👍

Great place. Food was good. Service was excellent. There was a band playing. Mostly outdoor seating. Definitely worth a try if you have not been here.

Had a great lunch here today. BLT, poppers, tuna salad sandwich and plain Jane hot dog. They still had a limited menu due to damage and loss from Milton. But - servers all were happy to see everyone, and the food was great!! Definitely a quick lunch that is tasty and satisfying. Live music was a nice addition.

Very cool eclectic spot with some interesting history. Servers are fun and fast. Drinks and food are reasonable...mostly all under 20 bucks. No alcohol... beer and wine only. They do make some fun drinks with wine substitute... totally recommend the "Jo Beano". Live music every day!... Mid morning and evening. A must visit.
