The Market Cafe is our favorite place for breakfast on Saturday mornings. The market itself is a fun experience. Buy local honey, flowers, some fantastic chicken at Hyatt's to grill at your tailgate.

Nice place to relax and chat with friends over coffee or fresh hot chocolate made with their melted chocolate. (If you like mint, try their LaSalle - it's made with the same mint oil as their candy)

Beautiful atmosphere. This is where the Studebakers lived. My wife and I were married here in January 2013, on the stairs in the main lobby. Best place for Sunday Brunch. Reservation required.

I've never had a pizza anywhere else quite like Barnaby's. The crust is crisp and yeasty, a bit like a saltine cracker, but much better. Worth a try. Very dark inside. Old english pub ambience.

An old coworker of mine and his wife own this place. New Orleans style coffee and food. Great beignets. I'm not so fond of the chicory coffee, but some people love it.

Essentials

Not my preferred grocery store, but it's very close and a quick stop if you need some tailgating or grilling supplies. There's also a CVS next door that the guidebook can't seem to find.

If you want to take pictures at the game, or of other sights in South Bend, and forgot something, Gene's may be able to help. They're the place to go in South Bend for photography supplies.

If it's art and it uses fire, they do it here. Sculpting, metalworking, jewelry -- it's very cool to tour, and they have some great work on exhibit and for sale. Only open Tue/Thu/Sat though.

Everything Else

There are several wineries within a short radius of South Bend, and most of them are very close to each other. Tabor Hill is the biggest one. The restaurant can be pricey, especially for the area.
