About

Bar: Full bar

Travelers craving a taste of New Orleans in South Bend will fit right in at Chicory Cafe. This downtown spot serves up coffee, sandwiches, and pastries with a relaxed atmosphere that feels more like a neighborhood haunt than a chain. The gator bites are a local favorite, and the staff keeps things friendly. It's open late on weeknights compared to typical cafes.

Chicory has a full bar, which is rare for a coffee shop. You can grab a drink with your meal. They also have outdoor seating, free wifi, and they take reservations. That last bit makes it easier to plan a visit during busy brunch hours. If you're looking for dinner options nearby, Elia's Restaurant is a solid choice for a heartier meal.

“Better than Starbucks”

I found this spot after relocating here in the fall, and I have to admit the employees are welcoming and the vibe is enjoyable. Definitely sample the gator bites because they're incredibly tasty.
