Alicia AlikhaniSeptember 6, 2015Everything is good here! Jambalaya, beignets, Po' boys, chicory coffee, craft beer, mac and cheese. The food is delicious, people are friendly, and there's free wifi. My new fave spot in South Bend!
Be sure to visit this place just because of the rich and different atmosphere. Live bands play, food is great, and it does have that New Orleans feel to it which I love. The style really fits SB.- Candace NicholsonJuly 15, 2013The chai was m'eh, but the jambalaya and beignets were amazing! The Wifi was also iffy the day I was there, so I just switched to 4G. Be sure to sign the chalkboard when you visit!
VApril 30, 2018Everything is amazing there, coffee, pastry, chocolate, breakfasts and other food. Stuff are super nice and I would highly suggest this place if you LOVE chocolate!
RyanDecember 10, 2016The turkey pot roast sandwich special was moist and savory with a fluffy but crusty ciabatta. My friend's hemp seed pesto pasta was also tasty. Place fills multiple niches and with aplomb.- Jennifer BiggsFebruary 12, 2017Best Bacon Mac & Cheese in South Bend! The beignets are sweet, fluffy and über delicious with a cup of coffee. A favorite spot in the heart of downtown.
If you're looking for something sweet, you can't go wrong with the beignets. Thinking of something a little more decadent? The Double Dutch Chocolate gelato, affogatto style is a dream.- Phil, the new owner, is a great guy and really doing some neat stuff here. The new food offerings are wonderful, especially the Cajun crawfish mac and cheese.
Carol DayNovember 18, 2012If you like the Eclectic flare in a cozy, charming coffee house, visit them soon. You'll be glad to try their delicious items. Love their coffee! :-)
Naturally, they have good coffee. But they also have great food and a great selection. Plus weekly entertainment on Friday nights.
Get a chai latte and biegnets...amazing! The hurricanes are great too!

Nicole LeonardAugust 7, 2014The beignets aren't Cafe Du Monde but they'll do for Northern Indiana. :)

"A hidden gem on Eddy Street! Can't go wrong with anything on the menu (although if you don't like spice, be careful)! Try half and half with two entrees and bottle water or a beer on tap!"
