The Depot Bakery

I started with an oat flat white before moving on to their sweet French toast special which came with roast apple, cinnamon sourdough, mascarpone and rosemary caramel. Alongside breakfast I asked for a split shot, which is not on the menu but the team were happy to accommodate. A split shot is served as two drinks, a single espresso and a cortado, so you can taste the coffee in its pure form and then see how it balances with milk. The coffee was good. Depot uses Assembly, which is always a reliable choice with strong consistency and good flavour on the lighter side of roasting. The espresso was rich bodied with a clean profile and sweet notes of dark chocolate, toffee and nuts. It was an ideal flavour profile for a split shot due to its versatility on the palate. The French toast was enjoyable and I finished it all. The cinnamon sourdough came in a crumb form that was very crunchy, something I would choose to leave off next time as I did not know how it would be presented. The apples were nicely roasted and kept their natural sweetness. The mascarpone had more of the texture of slightly over whipped cream, almost split, but still edible. The rosemary caramel was delicious, though I found the rosemary flavour quite light. I also purchased a focaccia and a chocolate brownie to take away. The brownie, while a little buttery underneath, was absolutely delicious with a rich unctuous texture. The focaccia I kept aside to use for my lunch the following day. Coffee I would rate as 8 out of 10, food eaten in at 7 out of 10, and food taken away at 9 out of 10. Depot has an impressive array of cakes and bakes which I will be returning to try. I would definitely recommend visiting Depot if you are in the Kelham Island or Neepsend area.

Visited here to visit friends. The poached eggs were cooked to perfection and my bacon buttie was superb. Even better than that was the guy who served us, efficient, nice smile and great service. Thank you.

Excellent cafe with wide menu choice. Food and coffee was excellent quality. The venue is a bit ‘industrial’ so was quite cool inside due to it being a cold morning. Food wasn’t served on hot plates so subsequently went cold very quickly.

Gorgeous artisan bakery serving unreal sweet treats, sourdough sandwiches and coffee. Nestled in the heart of Kelham, it’s the perfect spot to while away an hour or two. I regularly visit but my personal favourite treats have been their Salt Beef and Swiss Cheese Sandwich and their Caramel Popcorn Canelés.

Amazing breakfast, everything cooked to perfection! They also have delicious sourdough. This time wild garlic and feta❤️
