Are you a beginner to the brew, a nitro novice, or inexperienced in espresso? Me too, I must admit, for years I avoided coffee, but after having 3 kids, I changed my tune for special occasions. That being said, I love a good cup of coffee filled with all the yummy add ins, bonus points for fun out of the box seasonal drinks. As a novice coffee drinker here are a few places you’re guaranteed to get a good brew.
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!
Coffee in Grand Forks: Archives Coffee House
I visited Archives during a holiday market to buy some goodies for gifts and the coffee was a surprising bonus. I got to try the bianco caramello latte which is a customer favorite. It’s perfect for a person who wants the benefit of the coffee without the bitter bite. This cozy coffeehouse offers a variety of events. 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.
Coffee in Grand Forks: Wired Bean Coffee (East Side)
Doughnuts AND a good cup of coffee, say less! What’s coffee without a sweet treat? Wired Bean has a variety of delicious doughnuts that pair well with any of your classic café favorites. They have tons of flavors for your latte or frappuccino for a delectable zing to start your day.
I’m new to the coffee swing, so I have only tried a few places so far, but the list is endless with more places like; Urban Stampede, Happy Camper Coffee, Early Morning Espresso, and Scooter’s to name a few.
So, whether your priority is the coffee or the experience, there’s a variety of great places to choose from in the Greater Grand Forks area.
