Red River Coffee Co.

There are a lot of pretty awesome coffee shops in Fargo, and Red River Coffee manages to be very different from most all of them. This is not necessarily a good thing. It’s kind of like, Red River Coffee can’t decide if they want to be a coffee shop or a Hallmark store. I just can’t completely buy into it. Half of the inside of the shop is dedicated to shelves and tables full of little knick knacks and house decorations and other, but it’s not really even as cool as some of the stuff you find in an actual Hallmark store. It’s almost likely really low grade cheap stuff to keep everything stocked. Maybe more like a higher brow garage sale? Not to say there aren’t some good things; however, overall it really lacks desire. And the coffee, it’s alright. Nothing to holler over. They do have a drivethru which can be very convenient. But honestly, with all the other great coffee joints elsewhere in town, I’d pick to go to a different place 19/20 times even though this is by far the closest one to my parents’ house. I don’t know man- if you love Hallmark and coffee then maybe this is the place for you, but it just doesn’t jive completely with me.

Amazing, tasty, and overall welcoming place, which I'm saddened to be missing out on before. It has been a while since EVERYTHING I ordered was THAT tasty! Helpful and friendly staff, and should I mention, awesome local merch ;) The only downside is a slightly confusing and difficult to figure out menu, especially for a first time visitor. But I wish this place nothing but prosperity and success!
