Crema's Take
“Tucked near Notre Dame's campus, this spot strikes a welcoming balance between student hangout and genuine community gathering place, with genuinely friendly service and refreshingly modest prices that make it feel accessible rather than precious. The real charm lies in the details—thoughtful sandwich customizations like cucumber, quality light food beyond typical cafe fare, and those golden moments on the walkway where you can linger over coffee while taking in campus views.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Family friendly.

See all on Google →It's a good place for certain, a little too 'owned by Notre Dame' for my tastes but otherwise quite lovely.
Fantastic food and super friendly service! Very modest pricing. I also love the option for cucumber on my sandwich and the view of campus from the walkway is wonderful.
