Locals Can’t Get Enough Of The Artisan Creations At This Mom And Pop Bakery In North Dakota
Red River Coffee Company in Fargo, North Dakota, is a beloved local bakery known for its wide variety of delicious baked goods and friendly atmosphere.
There's something so fun and special about those little mom-and-pop shops you find every so often that you simply won't find anywhere else. There's a hyper-local sense of camaraderie in these little places, and North Dakota is lucky enough to have several worth discussing. I'd like to take a moment, though, to appreciate one little spot that somehow doesn't get the love it so rightly deserves. It's one of the best bakeries in North Dakota, and it's been a favorite among Fargo locals since 1985. It's the delightful Red River Coffee Company, and it might just be the best lil' mom and pop bakery in North Dakota.

Welcome to Fargo, and welcome to Fargo's greatest bakery.
It's been going strong for more than 30 years, with no signs of slowing down any time soon.
The reasons for this success become obvious the moment you walk in.
You'll be greeted by a happy, friendly face and immediately surrounded by the incredible aroma of fresh-baked everything.
If you're a fan of it, you'll likely find it here: cupcakes, cookies, breads, pastries... everything.
You can't go wrong with any one item; I personally recommend stocking up to last you until your next trip up to Fargo...whenever that might be. Good luck deciding on just a thing or two; you're better off getting one of everything.
I think my personal go-to is always going to be the old-fashioned, fudgy brownie, but cake lovers rejoice: There's plenty of that, too.
Even if you're not a huge fan of sweets in terms of your baked goodies, no worries - you'll also find rolls, breads, buns, muffins, and all sorts of other delights. Not one thing on the menu is "bad". Not. Even. Close.
Of course, you'll need a reason to keep coming back, so remember that there are always seasonal goods, too.
During the fall, it's time for pumpkin everything. In the winter, holiday-themed goodies abound. Spring and summer bring their own wonders... I guess you'll just have to come see for yourself.
