The Depot Cafe and Bookstore

Coffee, terrific lunch, avocado toast, all in Mill Valley, the cafe is Heaven. The bookstore is Paradise. Thank you for making our trip to Northern California absolutely outstanding. Mill Valley is gorgeous.

Loved browsing through the small bookstore and enjoying their large chocolate chocolate chip cookie. So large and flavorful yet so light! It’s fun for visitors and locals to sit outside and enjoy downtown Mill Valley. A couple of small tables available inside.

Awesome spot right in the heart of downtown mill valley. The place combines a cafe / restaurant and a cute little book store with a highly curated selection of books.

My last time here I only got coffee beverages. All of the coffee drinks were good. No complaints. But it’s nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing wrong with that. The food has been reliable, but nothing to travel from out of town for.

Where the place really excels is the service and atmosphere. Staff are all very friendly and helpful. The place is situated right in the heart of downtown mill valley. It’s just a great spot to be. It feels like you’re literally in a valley full of trees. Air also always smells nice and fresh. Additionally, the place has great out door seating and it often has live music (see video clips).

Another benefit is that it’s open latter than a lot of places in Mill Valley. For instance, today it was the only place open after 6pm in the area serving coffee.

This is a spot I frequent - and will continue to do so.

Italian soda & Chicken Noodle soup next to a warm, open fire🔥…the best in NorCal…right in the heart of Mill Valley ❤

Only $14 for a delicious open face toasted NY bagel with cream cheese, capers, sliced tomato and red onion - what a great deal! This would easily be twice the price in the east bay. Great service and casual Sunday morning ambience - great fun to eavesdrop on the opinionated book store argument background noise punctuated by the espresso machine.

Our Y took us on a field trip to Mill Valley and Sausalito. We stopped by this nice Cafe, and checked out the bookstore. Cool items in there, found some stickers for my granddaughter. Thank you - everyone so nice.

Cute little bookstore and coffee shop. Has oat milk options. Outdoor seating area is very cute with heaters for warmth, if you, like me, get caught biking in the pouring rain.

A great place to hang out on a nice MV day. Good food and drinks for every taste.

The staff was so friendly and accommodating of our special requests! It made our evening! Thank you!

Really cool unique shop. Enjoy some great breakfast and coffee, then head over to the bookshop to browse and maybe pick up something to read.

Great food and coffee, take a look in the book shop too some great books, great section for children's books too.

Favorite place for a quiet peaceful breakfast in the heart of downtown mill Valley. Friendly staff too!

Fantastic place all around, the food, the service, the atmosphere and be sure to check out the bookstore!

Great place for a quick coffee or a relaxing experience indoors or out. Exotics not just good food and service but great history in and around this building.

Always a pleasure to meet up friends for breakfast or lunch. The best pastry in the town.

Great coffee, folks, and book selection what more could you wish for! It is on the pricey side but it is Mill Valley so 😊

Had the Hippie salad with grilled chicken. Maybe one the best salads I’ve had. Forgot to take pictures.

We loved this place. Great for a late breakfast or brunch. Nice to sit outside and watch the world go by.

One of the best! Books, good food and drinks, great service, and it's in wonderful Mill Valley!

Been going here since I was a kid, absolutely love this place.
