Coffee in Grand Forks: Board Room

If you’re like me, choosing just one thing when on the search for a new favorite can be hard, so a flight is right up my alley. The Board Room has delicious cold brew and hot chocolate flights. The best thing about the Board Room’s flights is the size – they’re not small so you definitely get your money’s worth. I enjoyed a delicious salted caramel cheesecake, tiramisu, strawberry shortcake, and double chocolate cold brew flight. They also offer brunch, small bites, and specialty charcuterie boards. Yum!

Paint and sips, live music, vendor events and more can be found at Archives. There’s a large sitting area to veg out, study, or relax with your joe.
