Coffee Shops near 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.“

“As one enters the Café it is a pretty average sized. A place big enough to enjoy as time slows down. Personally, I had a wonderful experience for the service was great for the way they treated me was without judgement or discrimination. Furthermore, they were very efficient for I receive my drink always within a 5-minute time span. Whether my drink be hot or cold it all depends on my mood, sometimes I just let my curiosity fly and explore the exotic drinks. The ones that seem too good to be true, only wanting to know how they taste like. When enjoying these drinks, I can't help but look around and admire the setting of the place. For I could see myself talking to my friend/s, or just trying to use the time to be productive and do some work. With how comfortable the seating it a complete place like nothing is is missing. Finally, I a place where I can say to myself “You be who you are truly are”.“

“We love this place. My wife and I have been here many times and this week my wife got the biscuits and gravy! Wow were they good! And with the cheddar biscuits, well done.“

“Extremely fun and cute place! Staff is super friendly, great snacks and drinks, shirts and cute things to buy up front, plus a whole room to pet kitties in back with a nice seating area. The adoptable cats are very well socialized by Cafe guests for their future loving homes. Great place to visit for families. Our teenagers were even excited to visit and look forward to coming back.“

The staff are all very friendly and efficient, even when there is a long line we never let deter or decision because they move through the line quickly with ease. We get a Large Oreo Blender with Espresso add 3-4 shots of espresso. It is absolutely amazing and delicious!!! It may be a bit pricey but we choose to get these on days when we need a little bit of a pick me up and we do it to treat ourselves because as I said it is a bit pricey. I would highly recommend it.“

“Biscuits and Gravy or their pancake of the week/month.“

“We came through from out of town, and their quality was delicious, just as expected. The drive through was definitely an adventure because you have to go to the menu/speaker on the far end of the parking lot and then drive to the window. So just look out for that when you go! But no worries, it was just kind of funny placement, though I definitely could see how the sign/speaker couldn't get moved closer. Thanks!“

“Our family absolutely loves Chicory Cafe. It’s one of those places that feels cozy the moment you walk in. We love bringing the kids, grabbing coffee, playing games, and just spending time together.

The espresso drinks are fantastic and never taste overly roasted or burnt, which is something I really appreciate. The food is always good, and we especially love the afternoon flatbread specials.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and we’ve always had positive experiences with the staff. Chicory Cafe has become one of our family’s favorite places to visit, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for great coffee, good food, and a comfortable place to relax.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This Starbucks has the absolutely nicest crew like EVER! I have never once encountered a rude employee, never encountered impatience or anything negative. I ALWAYS make sure I tip as this gang definitely deserves it! I’m there at least 4 times a week. Please tip the workers because they are busting butt for you. ❤️“

“Chai latte Iced macchiato“

“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.“

“Of the several times I've been here, all but once had the same workers. All were very good, but one young woman with glasses and a nose ring, and a blond headed woman were both exceptionally kind. The one time I was there and it was different women working, I still had good service.“

“This location has been a lifesaver for the Westside! Every time I place an order at this location, I know that it is going to be accurate and served with a smile. The personal touch they add to the regular customers plus a smile on my face everyday. Thank you for all you do. I appreciate it!“

“Everyday.“

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

“The smoothies and bowls are healthy and taste great 👍🏼“
