| - The Dep is so much more than just a cafe, grocery stop, and sometimes restaurant. It's also an inspiration and reminder to gather with loved ones, congregate with kindred spirited strangers, and let someone else do the cooking at least once in a while.
By day, the large windows of the corner cafe makes a great place to prop yourself up on one of the bar stools solo with a French press (they don't brew drip coffee to ensure that every cup is as fresh as can be) and a newspaper. Alternatively, you could also bring your friends and family and occupy one of the long tables in the middle. Guava cookies are baked in house weekly by a resident chef and are a must-try.
By night, depending on what night of the week it is, the Dep plays host to drop-in dinners; multi-course, prix fixe, BYOB family style glutton fests; and hands-on cooking classes. At one Rusholme Park Supper Club dinner over the summer, there was so much extra fried chicken, biscuits, and pie that everyone received a stuff-your-own doggy bag.
Sign up for their newsletter, open up to their endless ability to inspire you to try new things, drop in for a quiet cuppa, and make plans well in advance (many ticketed events sell out quickly) to join the Supper Club.
