“This is my fav coffee shop. Everything is soooo good and staff is kind.“

“excellent customer service as a bonus fabulous coffee“

“Highly recommend! This is a wonderful establishment and the owner, Kim, is very informative and genuinely cares for the residents of the Cafe! And the fact that the kitties (except Head Supervisor Chipmunk) are available for adoption is just wonderful for giving these kitties a chance to have a loving forever home. My wife and I cannot wait to return!“

“I love this small cafe. It’s a great place to meat friends and they always have great drinks and pastries.“

“Great 3 meat and provolone panini! Hadn't eaten here for a while and wanted a quick sandwich for pickup and go. Great service. Will return soon!! My encounter was friendly and courteous.“

“I stopped for the first time today and I am so totally pleased!!! I am not feeling great with sinus infection and the yuckies and I ordered minestrone soup and an egg salad sandwich. I swear it was the best meal I’ve had in years. It tasted like my Mom made it for me to feel better and my face and tummy ate so happy. The service was ten plus and great food was the perfect combination to make a smile to my face. Thank you for the food and the conversation. Ten star rating to you. ❤️“

“I was in Biggby today! The barista that checked me out was amazing! Shoutout to SKY and all the morning crew! You guys are great! Keep up the awesomeness! OH and for real the Asiago bagel with xtra bacon and egg and cheddar and cream cheese is AMAZING! OH, I had the frozen Avalanche, and as usual it was perfect!“

“2nd time here and it's been fantastic both times. My goal is try something new every visit but with how much I love Skogamaor I'll have to get at least 2 drinks each stop.“

“Don't let the percentage sway your decision to try this coffee n interact with the people of Embassy Coffee!! You won't go away disappointed!! Take a breath n Enjoy!!!“

“We had a baby shower here last weekend and the venue was absolutely perfect for us! We had plenty of seating for everyone and it was very eclectic and cozy for everyone to chat and socialize. The stage area with our backdrop was perfect for opening gifts and taking pictures. I would definitely 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a place to rent for parties.“

“Caribou coffee is outstanding! So much better flavors and options than Starbucks. The food is also a big step up. I'm a huge fan. They are expensive ... same price point as Starbucks ... but much better quality and taste so at least I feel like I got what I wanted.“

“Recommendations:
•Steak po’boy breakfast sandwich- I don’t know if it was because I was starving but this sandwich was so good! The bread was so soft and had shaved steak with cheese had lots of flavor. The combination was delicious! Of course, I used their Louisiana hot sauce for some spice. Aaaand no meal is complete without some sweetness…
•Beignets: doughy goodness with a good amount of powdered sugar. 3 to an order. They are honestly so filling I would say 1/2 of 1 is good if you just wanted a taste. Especially if you are already full. My son & I shared 1 piece and took the rest back to the hotel.
•s’mores Latte was delish (if you like sweet coffee)

We went around 10:30am and as you can see it was not very busy. Plenty of seats available. They had a corner that looks like it’s for live music! All around really cute and cozy. I bet it’s great at night!

The only con is probably the bathroom. It’s shared with other establishments and you need a key but not a big deal at all.“

“Great place and fun to visit! Highly recommend!“

“Okay, look... I've been to a couple coffee spots in downtown South Bend... This one here is sooooooo good... I get a vanilla iced latte like everywhere I go... This place is BY FAR the best tasting spot... They are clean, small, EXTREMELY friendly, and the prices are exceptional!!! Do yourself a favor amd at least try them out... Heck, I'll even buy you a coffee!!!“

“Awesome people and great food. Was in town for a show and found this place on the way home. great experience“

“The Local Cup is the best part of living in the NNN! Great people, great drinks, great environment. Simply stellar.“

“Great food, amazing service and even better prices. Glad we found this hidden gem in downtown South Bend!“

“Exactly what you would expect from a neighborhood coffee shop. The greatness here is in the employees! During winter, one of the employees left the cozy building trudged her way through the snow and delivered my special order! That is excellent customer service.“

“Shout out to the morning crew during the week (yes I’m sure the weekend and evening crews are great but I’m picking favorites sorry) Every morning they’re doing the most and really put in effort for knowing their regulars and those they know personally. Every once in a while there’s an order hiccup, but things happen! Wonderful crew and as always the best breakfasts a busy girl needs! Will definitely be continuing to come by ❤️“

“Great StarBucks! I’m usually there very early (before 7am), and not only is the staff smiling and very polite, but my coffee is also consistently amazing! I highly recommend this location for your daily dose of coffee! I’ll continue to go to here no matter what!“

“Cloud walking cafe is a little gem in South Bend. Highly recommend!“

“I am not comfortable in public but I’ll do anything for a decent cup of coffee and I LOVE Union and their staff. I don’t know what they call it but they have this amazing toast with beans, sprouts, avocado and vinegar.. I know I’m missing ingredients here but I crave that toast all the time now. Definitely worth a stop while visiting Buchanan“

“BIGGBY employees are so awesome, at this location as well as the Mckinley one. Even in the middle of rush hour, which has to be stressful, the employees keep a smile on their faces. Never once had a bad experience or a drink made wrong here, they will always have my business.“

“Amazing staff and incredible food“

“Fine version of the line of coffee bars. This one has great location across from the lovely sculpture park and offering sidewalk seating options. The dining area is large, but half empty due to social distancing constraints and therefore now feels a bit disjointed.Probably ND students working the counter and these girls were great, offering to remake any other drink if I didn't enjoy the new iced chocolate almond milk that I ordered. It was great and I didn't take them up on it, but the gesture was lovely.“

“Great service and delicious food!“

“Decaf Latte with stevia taste great! thank you guys!“

“Phenomenal new place and excellent selection, fun drinks, and super nice employees! I recommend them 100%!!! We’re so lucky to have this in Mishawaka/South Bend.“

“We have Church here on Sunday Evenings during the fall and spring semesters through The After Church. I love their worship services; the Pastor and his family are so loving and the worship services and sermons are always very uplifting and enlightening.“

“This Starbucks was a pleasant surprise! It's inside of the Doubletree hotel and absolutely beautiful! My friend and I relaxed and had a nice latte, conversation, and bagels. The view was amazing and I enjoyed every single minute of our visit!“

“Everyday.“

“They have the best coffee“

“This location has the best employees hands down! It’s always a pleasant experience, and some go out of their way to put a smile on your face. Drinks are always good- even though it was a little rocky when they first opened. They’ve come a long way.“

“Great Coffee, excellent service! They are so nice and their smiles are always most welcome.“

“Our 1st time here, it was worth the drive Good food, friendly service, restaurant is clean.“

“Great cinnamon rolls! Haven’t tried the coffee yet.“

“Very small place. Waitress tried to sit me and my friend in the back, although there were spots in the front. I felt a hint of racism in that moment as there was a white couple that came in after us and was seated in the front. I asked for the 2 seats available in the front“

“Went to The Rage for supper. I have to eat gluten free and this place did NOT disappoint. I had the fried fish. So incredibly good. Building is beautiful, Jen was a great waitress, and the prices are out of this world! Stop in, everyone. You will be glad you did!“

“I absolutely love coming to this location. The employee’s know me by name, they always greet me at the door, my drink is always perfect, and every single team member is incredibly friendly! Thank you all!“

“It was my dogs 12th birthday and she is too old to get into the car. The barista at this location made her a pup cup to take home to her. That was so completely awesome!!! She wrote happy birthday Bella on the cup as well. Made mine and my dogs day. Thank you so much!!!!“

“Not your standard chocolate bar. Even the bar coming from your favorite chocolate here from Europe. This falls in line how would you describe your favorite wines or flavor profiles of cheese or even the best single origin coffee. This is a whole different experience. He keeps the flavors so OnPoint and not too sweet that you can literally taste the nuances between each chocolate that he makes. Such as most of them raw 77% the cacao it's coming from a plantation in Guatemala or another one in Peru or even another more rare in the Philippines. You can taste the differences just like you can between coffee beans from Sumatra and coffee from Guatemala. You have to think of it along those terms. You literally should sample each bar side by side. Just a slight piece cleansing the palate in between. There's not much refinement in this. Some people say it's expensive but it's also an experience it's not just to fulfill a sweet tooth. Although I did have some truffles yesterday and they're amazing. So the chocolate runs typically 10 to $12 a bar and $2 a truffle. But it's an experience well worth it just like an experience of tasting black truffles or caviar you really have to try you know what you're missing.“

“They have the best shakes ever! Tried the blueberry and strawberry cheesecake shake and it was amazing! Also the staff is super nice and friendly! I will definitely be returning! 😊“

“Yo jessica at vos coffee 6630 is awsome i had a bad cookie that turned me off of the store. She was so xalm and understanding and offered me another cookie or a refund and i explained that if rather take another cookie to not seem to have scammed a couple bites although i was iffy she said no please a refund is fine. I saw no frustration at all i bought the cookie for 3.17 refunded it and gave her a five dollar tip. She needs a raise..you cant teach that. 100 Stars!!!“

“Java Chip!🥰🥰🥰 one of my favorite treats.“

“The last few times I been here there has been rude service (mainly the “manager”) coming from the staff working the drive thru. I to go place my order 3 times and each time got interrupted(rudely) to wait because she’s busy now (her words) and that I took so long to place my order. I’ll drive the extra distance to go to the Cass one until the Niles ones opens. They ruined it there for me.“

“We were sent Jacks donuts on DoorDash from a family member!!! The best donuts I’ve ever had!🤍 definitely will be visiting“

“Great service! And delicious! Will definitely be back. 😊“
