What customers say

Amazing coffee & tea selections.. they are all Fair trade, kosher, & small batch. The young ladies at the counter are sweet enough to brighten anyone's mood and get your day started off right! Also, they have new vegan &/or gluten-free pastry options that are mouth-watering 🤤 ☕

While doing a book tour in the area I stayed at a hotel close to this coffee shop and it was so great I went there 3 out of the 4 mornings I was here. The coffee and breakfasts were great, nice atmosphere great service.

5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ doesn’t do justice to the level of service and quality of coffee and food served! Definitely has that atmosphere that not just invites you in but also welcomes you to hang out, and definitely to visit again! An absolute Awesome addition to South Bend!

This place is so cute — the decor is seriously next level. Hanging flowers, cozy booths, and a bar setup that looks like it came out of a design magazine. Definitely Instagram worthy. Drinks were good, but a bit on the expensive side, and service was kinda slow.
