So good!!! I love the rootbeer. So fun that they have house-made syrups and use them to make soda. Next time, I will try an iced latte and post photos. There is plenty of seating. Bathrooms are clean and have baby changing stations. The baristas who served us were friendly and helpful.

Super-welcoming staff behind the counter. The iced latte was perfect. Double-shot. Not too harsh. Great back room to study. Sad that the ongoing construction is likely depressing business. Probably the best coffee in South Bend.

Stopped by for lunch on Saturday. Cool artistic decor, friendly staff, delicious food and coffee. The chips truly were some of the best I’ve ever had, and my cold brew with macadamia nut milk was the best cold brew I’ve had in some time. Worth the effort to get there with the road construction.

A definite stop for the future! We had so much fun trying many different kinds of drinks and delicious foods. Loved the sidewalk chalk available for my kiddo to use while waiting.

The perfect place to eat, relax and connect. I needed a spot to work and eat before leaving town. The benches our back were perfect on a Spring day and with ample seating inside. The food was excellent and the service amazing.

I went for the first time with my friend whom had been there more than once and I had a lovely time. We went to get good coffee and do some school work and the environment was great. It was very inclusive and it's independently owned(to my knowledge)!!! There's a lot of art and information along the walls and in corners too. My friend and I both got different coffees, I got some sort of mocha which I loved and my friend got a honey coffee?? I tried it and it was delicious!! I would definitely recommend to a friend and come again.

Amazingly varied menu of both coffee and alcoholic beverages, served to you by very friendly staff and made by skilled baristas who actually care. This is a pretty amazing place, serving a wide variety of people, families etc and maintaining a truly inclusive, community conscious vibe. Makes me wish I actually lived here so I could spend more time getting to experience all they have to offer - all around you on the walls are posters advertising local artists, community events, groups that meet up here, etc. great way to get in touch with what’s going on locally. Great vegan options too, menu items and alternative milks. Really appreciate the existence of this place and will try to come back any time I’m in the area.
