A Roaster Called Revenant

A hidden gem in downtown South Bend. Inside the Dainty Maid food court, Revenant is a quiet and laidback establishment geared towards serious coffee aficionados. Focusing on unique combinations of drinks and the quality of the coffee that they roast themselves, Revenant sets itself apart from the generic cafes around Michiana.

I had a great experience and was able to just hang out and talk to the owner directly, who was more than happy to explain the ins-and-outs of the coffee making process.

Can not recommend enough! I suggest trying the Spronic!

I have wanted to try this woman owned business since they opened and am so pleased to have finally gone! Their drinks are as gorgeous as they look and pretty reasonably priced considering you get a work of art to drink. Average price is $6-$8 depending on what you’re getting. Option to sub in oat milk for your dairy. Pretty sweet but not overly sweet for both drinks. 10/10 would recommend can’t wait to come again!

Today was my 2nd time here and it's been fantastic both times. While you'll still be able to find your standard coffee favorites, they definitely have some flavors that go above and beyond what other places are doing.
My goal is try something new every visit but with how much I love Skogamaor I'll have to get at least 2 drinks each stop.

The matcha latte was okay. Although it looked beautiful, the first one I received wasn’t hot enough and both were a bit weak. The staff were super sweet and offered to remake it. My friend ordered the blue one which was hot, with a unique and wonderful flavor. It was a bit too sweet for me. I really appreciate the oat milk option and maybe they will consider adding another plant milk.

Best. Espresso. Ever. If you like espresso or drinks with espresso in them, you have to go here. High quality drinks at a reasonable price. The iced cortadito is always a solid choice, but I love ordering from the rotating seasonal menus. Many unique drinks you won't find at other coffee shops!

Tastes good. Nice atmosphere. $6.50 for about 6 oz of liquid and ice in a cup… oh and prices aren’t listed on the menu.

You can get anything you want! A regular cup of coffee has great flavor and is affordable. The handcrafted specialty drinks are some of the most unique and flavorful coffee creations you’ll ever have.

Literally five items on the menu and you’re spending about $7 for a five ounce cup of joe. What little coffee we did get tasted horrible and my coffee maker at home makes better coffee than this place. It tries to be high end but has a general feeling of uncleanness when you walk through the door. Also the lady who served us was rude with a general disregard for her customers. Won’t be coming back.

Truly good coffee. Love their twist on coffee drinks, but they also have some classic selections.

The first time I went to Revenant, all I could think was “this is the first time in my life I’ve actually had good coffee” and I haven’t changed my mind since! I’ve tried almost everything on the menu and been impressed every single time. I can’t wait to try all the new specialty drinks this season!
