Coffee In South Bend | Top Local Shops To Grab A Cup of Joe

Coffee is essential. I can’t remember the last time that I went even one day without having a cup (or two). It’s especially important when you are traveling or staying in a new city. Travel is exhausting, your days are booked with activities, and you probably stay up later than usual enjoying your time away from home. Then, you have to get up the next morning and do it all again. But not before having that warm cup of pick me up. But not just any beans will do. You need to start off on the right foot. That’s where we come in.

Below you find a list of the best local coffee spots that South Bend has to offer. I highly encourage you to try them all and find your favorite!

Enjoy!

ZEN CAFE

Coffee In South Bend | Top Local Shops To Grab A Cup of Joe

About: Founded in 2010 in South Bend. Zen Cafe’s mission is simple; we roast delicious coffee and source it transparently. We do these things for two reasons; we love coffee, and good coffee does not appear out of thin air.

Quality coffee is the result of a chain of relationships which incorporates farmers, roasters, and consumers (that’s you!).

We believe close attention to each step is necessary for coffee to reach its full potential, and that attention is reflected in your cup.
