The General Deli & Cafe

Amazing food, staff and comfortable atmosphere. The pastrami sandwich is my favorite and get it every time I come.

Good place to get some work done or have a meeting. It can get pretty busy but you can also sit in their shared space with Hammer & Quill.

I love this place! Plenty of veg options, consistently friendly service, ample seating and bike parking. The baristas greet me by name, and I always have my order quickly. Love the art and vibe as well.

Just moved nearby. Have been looking for a good lunch spot with vegetarian options to be a frequent customer. Came in one day to order a sandwich, they said they can't serve it before 11. Ok fair. So I come back in the next day at 2pm, 2 hrs before they close, but couldn't order because they decided to close early. Also fair enough. But I can't be a regular customer if they're not reliable

Staff were so nice and their matcha scones are wonderful!

A real gem in South Bend! Highly recommend breakfast at this spot, alongside the great coffee. Always buzzing and busy, it is a great place for conversations or work. A great spot!

Great spot with a nice, clean atmosphere. Coffee is smooth, as in a recent small batch roast. The cinnamon roll seemed as if it were baked this morning. Just a few minutes from Notre Dame University and downtown. Excellent alternative to national chains and good seating for singles or small groups.

Great spot to grab a coffee or cocktail (or both). Good atmosphere and the staff are friendly and helpful. It's nice that it's directly across from the park.

There are dedicated breakfast hours. It would be quite beneficial to your patrons to have this clearly posted on your Google page. It's a college town and you're going to get a lot of visitors that are not familiar with your business, or city. I chose this location to specifically get avocado toast. Upon arrival I'm told I can't get this. Even though I can get a sandwich...with toast...and avocado. I suggest to the employee at the counter that the Google page be updated and got a bit if an eyeroll and definitely got some attitude.All that aside, I decided to stay since I drove all the way here.The food and coffee are GREAT.I would come back, even with the annoyance of not being able to get what I came specifically for.Also, GPS will probably put you behind the deli. Parking is up front, off the street.

Staff are great, location is greater and food is greatest! One of the families favorite spot for a quick sandwich or coffee for a walk in the park. Soups are fantastic too but make sure to get there early cause they may run out by end of day.

Parking: Street parking is often available but sometimes requires a bit of a stroll. No problem in warmer months.
