Quiet, relaxing ambience and cozy, spacious lounge feel. Haven't tried their coffee yet, but their homemade snacks and pastries are terrific. Curbside parking available on limited basis, some 90 min close by but some 4 hr. a few blocks away, too.

This was the first place I visited on my visit to Fargo, as I sought out a bit of a calm, quiet space to get a drink, connect to wifi, find my bearings, and maybe get some tips for the area.
All three needs were met. The chai I ordered was expertly prepared my very kind and helpful staff, who not only made me feel welcome and valued with their attitude but also provided me with a few tips for enjoying the city.
The space had a good energy, WiFi was reliable, and the seating was cute and cozy.
I would definitely stop back by here for a drink if I find myself in town again. 💙☕🍵

Five stars no questions asked.
The staff is so nice, carrying and fun. We had a lovely chat with them.
The price is fair and the coffee is good. Everything as expected.
Look up when entering the building the big giant cross beam made out of cast irons. It is how the front of the building is supported permitting those beautiful tall glass opening. This is typical modern built from the 1800s.
This was one of the first building in Fargo. The train delivered the raw materials and they build that strip right away.
The decorations inside is no e showing off some of the original features of the building. Owner love to talk about his building and the history of the area.
Really love spot to have a coffee.

We love this coffee shop! Delicious coffee (with heavy cream) and a wide array of teas to choose from. Cozy and eclectic atmosphere with both couches or chairs to hang out on. Great selection of baked goods, too, and friendly staff. We were even given a lemon poppyseed scone to try the last time we were in, and it was fabulous. Highly recommend this Fargo staple!!

Cute and cozy hometown coffee shop. It has a nice hang out and chill vibe. Coffee is good, but not for those who may hope for something sweeter. They offer treats (baked goods) to have with your Coffee. The monster cookie is good!

On the journey to Canada, my cousin’s family and I stopped in Fargo, ND to grab some coffee to help perk us up after driving all night and it was a great stop.
Inside Babb’s is a cozy coffeehouse with a very nice staff and your typical menu for food and drinks. I bought us all drinks to help revive everyone since we had been driving non-stop at that point, with a quick stop in Minneapolis, MN for breakfast at Hazel’s Northeast.
Everyone enjoyed their drinks, thankfully. Mine was pretty good, just wish they would’ve blended the caramel in with the drink instead of drizzling it on there, but other than that, it was great.
They seem to offer food and baked goods, but since we just ate pretty recently, we didn’t get to sample their food. There does seem to be two locations, so if you can’t make the Fargo location, there is another North Dakota spot to stop at!

The best coffee shop in Fargo, one of my all time favs- Babb’s Coffee House baby!! I fell in love with this shop far before my family even moved to Fargo in 2017. Any time I was in town this was a must stop for years and years. And even after leaving Fargo again, it still stands the same way each time I visit.
Babb’s just really knows how to do coffee. All of their lattes, mochas, frappes and specialty drinks are mixed just right. They aren’t too sweet or artificial like some of the big name chains, and they actually taste like COFFEE first and foremost. Add their invented house made espresso whipped cream on top, and it’s literally like crack in a cup.
They have good food too- if you’re needing sustenance I’d highly recommend the breakfast quesadilla on a spinach wrap. Ooh, my goodness! And if you don’t want or don’t prefer coffee, their twisted sister red bull drinks are actually quite good. There are lots of tea options too. And you NEED a cinnamon chip scone warmed up to finish the trip, you won’t be the same without it.
Babb’s has great coffee and nibblings, as well as a wonderfully laid back coffee shop atmosphere. They are themed after the city of Seattle, and I fall in love with it all over again every time I go. Love you forever Babb’s!

I've ordered from here multiple times using GrubHub and wanted to leave an honest review.
Quiche Spinach: 10/10 . This might be one of the few places I could find quiche, let alone one as delicious as the one I make.
Hot Latte: 9/10. Always made correctly, hot and honestly perfect. 1 point deduction only because they don't offer oatmilk (at least through GrubHub)
Pine street Breakfast Sandwich (bacon & swiss on a croissant) 10/10. It's a basic sandwich but they toast the croissant to perfection, melty cheese and the bacon is flavorful and not greasy
Green Lake Veggie (added ham) 9/10. It was light but filling. Only complaint is a bit too much onion for me but that's just preference.
Soup (It was a I believe a tomato?) 2/10 it felt more like a marinara sauce vs a soup. The flavor was fine but it also seemed oily. I haven't been able to try their other soups yet.
Baked goods: I've tried a ton so I won't list them off individually. 8/10. The only things i didn't really love were the scones and the nanaimo bars. They weren't bad but the scone being wrapped in cling wrap left it almost soggy. The nanaimo bar was good but too much of the chocolate ganache overpowered the other flavors.
All in all I give them a solid 9.5.
*All my reviews are from deliveries using services like GrubHub, Doordash, etc . which may change the overall quality of the product.
