What People Are Saying
from Google"Located in the Peter Pan bus terminal, there is a variety of snacks, beverages, and food made to order. I like to get two hot dogs, one with chili and cheese and the other with sauerkraut. To drink, there are cold bottled beverages (e.g. Coke, Gatorade), coffee, and more. Dan personally prepares each menu item. Since I've now been here a few times, he greets me personally, and I enjoy chatting with him. There are a few tables for eating, which almost always are available, as I have never seen more than three or four people in the terminal at any one time. There is also plenty of chair seating (without tables). Sometimes food service places at transit hubs have exorbitant prices, but prices here are very reasonable. Overall, it's nice to have Dan's Depot Cafe available while I wait for the bus."
"Wonderful surprise here at Providence Peter Pan terminal. Delicious handmade sandwiches— breakfast and lunch options, bagels, chips, muffins, iced coffee. I had a the chicken salad sandwich. Excellent. And he even has ice cream. Did NOT expect such a wonderful spot with all these offerings. Even if you’re not traveling by bus… this is a hidden gem."
