Sandy's Donuts & Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Fargo

September, 24th 2022 around 11:15 AM

I wish I knew the guy name that served my friend and me. He was very friendly and welcoming.

Ironically, I've eaten from this place often but never have done an in-person walk-in. (I was actually off the clock) but my reporter instinct kicked in. The employee was all but happy to engage with my friend and me and answered each question very animatedly and direct. this was one of the smoothest interviews I've had in Fargo, thus far.

As far as our order. My friend ordered the house black coffee for both of us. My friend ordered a Maple-Nut Longjohn, while I ordered Chocolate Bavarian LongJohn. BOTH were flaky and sticky and you could tell it made the day FRESH. The coffee, not the typical coffee I like was GREAT. if I had to nick-pick just a little bit, the coffee was too hot, but taste great.

The ambiance was not distracted from the construction outside of the building just a little bit tucked away for now. In any event, keep buying pastries/doughnuts and coffee from here and at least do an in-person walk-in every so often. One of the best doughnut shops in the Fargo/Moorhead area.

I wish I could give half a star but my rating is 4 and 1/2 stars (4 out of 5...

I’ve never seen a donut so good that it caused someone to involuntarily throw a large cup of coffee across the room in a fit of sublime bliss.

I really don’t know what’s better, the delicious, affordable, donuts that come in a wide variety, the tasty hot coffee, or the excellent service that not only sought to make sure everyone was OK after the ‘incident’ but was also incredibly patient and kind in regards to cleaning up and getting my friend another coffee.

Now I personally don’t recommend attempting to wear the coffee, I didn’t really suit us, but I can recommend to all visitors, locals (and the other, less known group livisocals) that this is a must visit location and a Fargo classic.

Truly excellent service (Friday 8am), really good donuts, great prices.

Also, bring back the bagel donut...

These are by far the best donuts I have ever had. I would rank these above Bogarts in Minneapolis simply because they are lighter and not as overpoweringly sweet. My favorites are the espresso bean and cookies and cream Bavarian. The fillings in Sandy’s Donuts feel lighter than marshmallow fluff and they aren’t cloyingly sweet. I can eat the whole donut and not feel like I dumped a pound of sugar down my throat. The coffees could use some work. The mocha I had was nothing special (could have made better at home with chocolate syrup, coffee, and milk) and the hot vanilla latte I ordered came hardly warm (maybe their machine was broken?). For donuts you can’t go wrong, for coffee you’re better off paying...
