Decio Café Cafe • $
221 St Joseph Dr, Notre Dame

“We dine at this restaurant often, and the food is consistently top notch with impeccable service. Robert, the owner, is very hands-on—always engaging with guests, sharing his knowledge, and even stepping behind the bar to make cocktails. It’s refreshing to see an owner so attentive and involved. We’ve never had a bad meal here, except for this past weekend when my husband ordered the filet. Unfortunately, it wasn’t up to the standard we’ve come to expect—it was rubbery and not edible, but Robert immediately had a new steak prepared and explained that they were testing a new supplier. He genuinely valued our feedback and mentioned that the previous steaks were a big reason we keep coming back. I ordered the whitefish, and it was absolutely superb—perfectly cooked and served over rice with a lemon white wine cream sauce. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. We always sit at the bar and love watching the bartenders craft cocktails. They are personable, friendly, and make the experience even better. Highly recommend this restaurant if you’re in St. Joseph. Occasional hiccups happen, but the way they’re handled here speaks volumes.“

Sweet Street Corn-Er-Coffee Cafe •
1105 Northside Blvd, South Bend - 2.37 miles

“I didn't know the farmer's market cafe had a name, actually. But I love it. I don't go there on Saturdays because I understand the wait is very long, it is so popular. But many people don't know that it is open every day, and on weekdays there is usually no wait (and sometimes no other customers on MWF). Jeannine does a fantastic job waiting on customers, and the food is always fresh, freshly prepared, reasonably portioned, and fairly priced. The atmosphere is community oriented, with an old style diner curving bar. Many times customers chat with others not in their party, but it doesn't feel intrusive. Just friendly. This is one of my favorite places to go regularly. Try the avocado toast!“

“Service was excellent. Quick and on time. Food was mostly good. Had breakfast and the only complaint I have is the hash brown potatoes were severely under cooked. Barley browned on one side and the rest was like mashed potatoes.
My whole wheat toast was forgotten about but was brought to the table within 5 minutes.
Was mostly good and will definitely try it again.“

“We enjoyed everything about this hotel. Parking was easy, the hotel itself is clean and well maintained, and the staff is friendly and helpful. The ladies at the front desk were so nice and quick, making checking in and out very easy, and answering all our annoying questions about the area. The bartender was amazing and delightful, as was the gentleman at the starbucks. Overall, this has to be one of the best hotels in the area. A big thank you to you all for making our stay so pleasant.“

“Their peanut butter banana with chocolate added smoothie is so refreshing! That has always kept us returning. I will say though after reading some of the other reviews, this visit I paid attention and they really don't do a good job cleaning out the blenders. They were all just setting around with previous smoothie sitting in them. The service is impersonal and rushed. It's sad because we've always liked the smoothie but now it'll be more difficult to see past some negatives.“
