Top Gift shops in South Bend, United States

Once a year I save up to go to an Irish game, I went to Irish vs central Michigan this year, I was hesitant to purchase any clothes as the prices were very high, my wife talked me into buying some nice Irish gear ( being someone who rarely spends a lot on myself ) when we got home from our 7 hour drive back home I noticed one of the polos I purchased ($195.00) was not in the bag, checking everywhere we could not find the polo. The bag never left the car as we made the purchase Sunday prior to leaving south bend, the only solution is that the Cashier forgot to put in the bag, when we purchased, we were unable to obtain a receipt because they were out of paper from the mass sales over the weekend, I called the inform, and received no help, the bookstore would not assist in anyway to help find the transaction and said they needed the receipt in order to look up the transaction to confirm the sale was made. The representative was very cold treated me as if I was a thief, trying to pull money out of them. When I was simply just trying to get the polo that I had paid for, and that was never put in the bag. I would recommend using fanatics for your Notre Dame gear purchases. The prices are cheaper. The quality is the same and they are not too proud to admit when they make a mistake. I’ve been going to Notre Dame for 35 years to watch football games with my family. This will be the last time we ever purchase from the Hammes bookstore.

I love this place as a diehard ND fan. Definitely recommend it. It smells sooo good.

My visit to the Hammers Bookstore and Cafe resulted as a part of a larger weekend to see a few hockey games on campus. We decided to stop by the Commons close to campus and look at the apparel available at this location.

The floor is definitely clean and well kept up. Nothing looked out of place, from general displays to clothes hanging on all their proper racks. The staff were friendly and helped me with questions I had in regards to finding a different size for a sweatshirt I was trying to locate.

I'd definitely come back here to shop on a return visit to campus. There is plenty to do in the area, both for food and just casually exploring the area. Thanks for a great experience!

The staff was friendly and plenty of shirts and othe Notre Dame novelty merchandise, along with some snacks and drinks to choose from. The smells frome the Cafe were relaxing and intoxicating. 🙂

More convenient location to hit the bookstore rather than going on the campus. They have everything you need for the most part.

Friendly employees, and they helped me out.

The staff here are always very helpful and friendly.

Nice alternative to the main bookstore (that is on campus). This one is Eddy street and Angela. Larger than most college bookstores and it has a nice Starbucks inside.

If you're a ND fan than this place is a must see. All the possible swag imaginable with friendly staff that will help you find it.

The bookstore is underground between Northside Hall and the library. You can reach the bookstore from both Northside Hall and the library by going to the basement and taking the tunnel that runs between the two.

All the books and supplies here are expensive, look online first.

Do not buy books there. Always look for books online first before you buy them here.

Start looking at other prices for books other places. The bookstore overprices everything. Do not buy text book here if you want to save money.

Parking without a permit on campus is tricky without Handicap sticker or Quarters for the meter!

This place is always clean and has friendly staff. However, the prices here are high especially when it comes to school supplies like notebooks, note cards, etc.

They are awesome! Treat each person with respect!!

Very friendly staff!! Lots of items for the Notre Dame lover!
