Red Raven Espresso Parlor

This place seemed really cool, with a very welcoming and community-focused energy, though it was unfortunately cash only so I was not able to partake of their goods. I hope hope I will remember to take out some cash if I ever visit Fargo again so I can try their drinks and/or food.

Cozy small town coffee shop / music venue. I really liked the look and feel of Red Raven, but wasn't blown away by their drinks. Their signature drink, the Frape Raven, was really good if you're a fan of sweeter drinks, but the other drink we ordered was somewhat meh. Overall it's worth checking out if you're in the area.

I have tried this place many times. I have had decent customer service from only two people there ever. The place is dirty, smells, with old uncomfortable furniture. Drip coffee is always lukewarm so I order espresso which is fair. Certain baristas do not want you to watch them make the drink which is not professional. Just not a great place. Too much drama.

This place has the small atmosphere of a friendly coffee shop, where you can get together with your friends and chat, or just sit back and read a good book. I believe this is the aesthetic larger companies such as Starbucks or Caribou are going for, but due to the fact that they are a chain, they're unable to achieve this aesthetic. Red Raven pulls it off effortlessly. I also love the fact that there are a venue for a lot of local talents. The coffee is delicious, and their teas are excellent. The staff was very friendly when I was visiting them, always punctual and quick to take orders, and they ensured that it was all done correctly. Overall, I could see myself going back there with some sort of frequency. I'm not normally a coffee shop type of person, but I can see myself going there just due to the fact that I enjoyed the atmosphere as much as I did. If you're looking for a place to go to relax, sip a cup of delicious coffee, I just kind of escape the madness that is the city during normal hours, Red Raven offers a nice Haven.

Stopped in last weekend and enjoyed some coffee on the patio during the afternoon. It wasn't busy at all. Masks still required inside, which was totally fine. Just an FYI to still bring one with you. We were all vaccinated but can definitely see how a business would want to protect itself and employees. They're provided at the counter if you did forget.

Cozy joint right off the main strip. Fido approved and we were able to run our dog through to sit out back in a really cool space. Espresso drinks were done well. Perfect little place for a midday stop to cool off and grab our second wind.

Absolutely favorite place. People who work here are fantastic, the coffee is superb..my only complaint is cleaning. Not sure if they have done a deep clean since moving into the building. And even the sinks in the bathroom are grimey....just use a Mr Clean magic eraser: but I will always pick this over any other place in town. Also I love that they stand up for their beliefs..and not afraid to show it. Kudos

super comfy place and good bands play there. the events are awesome <3 such a vibe!

my favorite coffee shop in pre-covid times. love their seasonal drinks so much and their prices are out of this world. food is tasty too, but i would advise against ordering a sandwich with chips - they give crumbs every time.

Parking is super limited, took off a star for this. I don't recommend visiting during peak hours. It's cozy little shop to sit at with your friends in a relaxed atmosphere. The products were quite tastey for the price. However, they were out of a lot of products. The seats could definitely use a bit of repair.
