I have been fan of Embassy Coffee for years. Hands down the…read morebest coffee and coffee shop in the Michiana area and Ive tried each one of them. Now there is no guesswork..... when I want the best cup and the best atmosphere I head to Embassy Coffee. Your spirit does a sigh when you walk through the door into Embassy. The atmosphere is always great for what ails you, a tonic for your soul. Whenever I want to create a memory or a moment with someone I care about I invite them to Embassy for coffee. No one Ive ever referred to Embassy has ever been disappointed or told me I was wrong with me proclaiming it the best coffee in Michiana. The food has always been first rate as well. The house of Chris May (owner and roaster) definitely knows what it's vision is and has delivered it to the Michiana area. A must have experience. One visit and it will become your go to place as well.

Espresso was really smooth and had a slight sweet taste making the drink very enjoyable. I will make sure I stop back by before heading out of town.

Perfect curd/ube fluff ratio!

Caffe Capriccio is a favorite bakery/café of my boyfriend's family friends and wanted me to try it…read morebefore my Labor Day visit was over. Located next to Brasserie 23 and some nice apartments, the exterior of this café immediately gave off European café vibes. Inside, we were greeted by the staff and looked at the menu for a bit before ordering. About 5 minutes after ordering, we received our drinks and food from a few kind, fast, and professional baristas. There is free wifi and the two unisex bathrooms are clean. There is also a lot of places to sit and we saw a few students working on homework while sipping on their matcha lattes. The prices for everything is overall decent but still a little high. Bakery goods are priced well while the drinks are maybe a dollar too expensive. They only use locally sourced whole milk in their drinks as well, just an FYI. All around the cafe are various things for sale, like local coffee beans, glass jars of that whole milk, and yummy loaves of sourdough and foccacia bread. I am from out of town so I didn't buy any bread or milk but I wish I could have! As for the food, everything was indulgent and delicious! We ordered a lot. I got a cinnamon churro latte with GORGEOUS sky design art. The taste was pretty basic - Like a cinnamon hot chocolate. Very milk forward. My bf got a chai latte. This had strong flavor. I should get a different drink next time as I only like to pay $7 for drinks that are unique! My bad! So after we each had an indulgent caffeine drink, we then had a breakfast sandwich. I got the turkey/bacon and my bf got the sausage one. Bacon was good and slightly fatty and the bun/brioche bread was really poofy! After an hour or so of conversation with my bf's family and friends, we then shared an almond fragipange cookie (thiccc and moist) and a blueberry coffee cake slice. Both were great! We had the coffee cake at his home and enjoyed the cookie at the cafe.The cookie was just like the cookies from the famous Levain cookie chain. These are the kind of cookies you can only have infrequently because they are so high calories, but boy, they are delish! I already followed Caffe Capriccio on Instagram so I can keep track of limited time drinks and desserts! I'll be moving to this area next year to be with my boyfriend and am happy to say that we will definitely be back!

This is my new favorite spot to sit and do work or just think. The hours are limited (most days…read moreonly until 2pm) but if you are looking for a quiet place to go it's SO much better than a Starbucks! The baristas are very friendly. The cafe is inside of Granger Community Church, but when you enter you are immediately in the bookstore/cafe/seating areas. It's a cool, calm, casual and comfy environment - the 4 Cs (which I literally just made up) and their seating is very spaced out throughout the area. Some seating is around tables, fireplaces, and in big oversized cozy chairs. I enjoyed a latte that was pretty tasty, I didn't try the food but overall the atmosphere is my favorite aspect of The Cafe!

I believe the workers work for tips, at least Ja'Lila does who served us. During our hour there we observed a mix of folks coming in. Some were obviously regulars chatting it up with Ja'Lila while they sipped their drink. Another couple on a road trip stopped in on their way to the east coast for some coffees and to use the WiFi. Some were in and out. Steady flow. Everyone treated with respect and dignity whether you made a donation or not. Donations are pay what you want. I'm not a coffee drinker but my sister said it's good! I got hot chocolate. The hot chocolate is homemade and I got fresh whipped cream which was also homemade. Delicious! Can you get that at Starbucks? Just asking I wouldn't know. I no longer lived in South Bend but if I did this would be my new spot. My sister does however and she's already been back before I had a chance to post my review. If you're a local and you remember the old VanBuren grocery store this is the spot!
