About

The Waiting Room pairs Deptford coffee-bar energy with vegan American-style comfort food: reviewers highlight burgers, loaded fries, bagels and brunch plates such as the Mammoth Maiden roll. Expect punk and metal on the speakers, local beers and cocktails, plus a Thursday quiz; dairy milk is still served, so specify a plant milk when ordering coffee.
