Tori Jane is a storm chaser, writer, photographer, and the village idiot - in that order. When she's not out and about dancing with the meanest storms on planet Earth for funsies she can be found wandering, shooting landscapes, writing, editing photos, and otherwise up to no good. Legend has it that she can also be occasionally spotted typing up short bios in the third person, but those rumors are unsubstantiated.
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.
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.
For the most up-to-date hours, specials, and so much more, be sure to visit the official Red River Coffee Co. website. If you’re visiting Fargo and need some ideas as to what to bring along, check out some of our suggestions for the best road trip snacks.
