My daughter and I were in town because she was wrestling at Nationals. We stopped downtown to hangout and take in the sights. We were walking around and noticed this cool coffee shop that had bikes as the frames for the bottom of a couple of tables. That drew us in initially and then we saw the sign for the frozen lemonades. We had to pop in!

It was a quiet Sunday afternoon and there were a handful of patrons inside. Like many local coffee shops it was a calm atmosphere where you could find a variety of people chatting over a drink and bite or the solo individual in the corner with their earbuds plugged in for some alone time.

We were full from our lunch (Courtesy of Kroll's Diner) and passed up on a few wonderful smells at other establishments like ther one that served Pho and the other that served ice cream. Any other time we would have run into those places. I even cracked the door to the Pho restaurant to get a better whiff. It smelled so good.

A frozen lemonade was something that our stomachs could make room for. We stepped in and strutted over to the counter area that was filled with baked goods. Biscotti, cookies, Rice Krispy Treats, breakfast bagel sandwiches and more. Caitlin was our cashier. She was friendly, helpful and actually was the social media manager for the shop. I found that after I asked her if we could take a selfie. 😁

The cost was typical of what I see at similar establishments. I think we paid just about $5/drink. My daughter had a mango and I had a peach. Refreshing on a cool day in downtown Fargo. We would totally go back in we were in the area again.

I give this coffee shop 5 out of...

I feel I should preface this... I usually only go here when I have a nonprofit board meeting. It's not bad, it's just not somewhere I think to go normally. I also don't go downtown (Broadway in Fargo) much in general, which is where this shop is located.

That said, I do like it here; it's a lot like the other coffee shops I go to. There are small cafe tables meant for small groups to have intimate conversations while drinking coffee and having a snack or light meal. There's Wi-Fi for the customers and a meeting space that can be closed off which keeps most of the noise from the main cafe out. I'd say you can fit 12 comfortably, maybe 16, and I think you only need to let them know you're interested in the meeting space if you want to use it; I'm not aware of a charge.

The coffee selection is pretty standard in my opinion. There are the usual flavors available for lattes for example (strawberry, cherry, vanilla for example), you can get hot or cold coffee, espresso, Italian soda, juice, water and probably a couple things I forgot. They also have a small section for baked goods (cookies, breads, cakes) and a few sandwiches and salads.

The ONLY downside I can see, which is a bit of an upside too, is that they seem a bit slower with service. This is where I deducted a star, but as I said it's a bit of an upside too because it fits the atmosphere. To me, this seems somehow like a more relaxed coffee shop, while a certain competing larger chain feels more fast-paced and rushed.

If I could, I'd really like to rate then more like 4.5 to 4.75...
