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!
