No prices on anything. Super overpriced. Food was good but 60 dollars for what we ordered for two people was insane. If you're gonna have your menu on the wall, you need prices. Every little thing you add to your coffee is a dollar or more. 11 bucks to start out out with a large Chai latte Is outrageous. Everything tasted great but not worth the cost.

We waited over 40 min for 2 drip coffees and a fruit cup, and most of the fruit had turned. Some of the employees were pleasant, others were rude or completely apathetic. We watched multiple people just give up and walk out.

This is the place to chill, 'Easy like a Sunday morning' any day of the week! I never knew what that song meant till I visited Babb's! It's a great spot for spoiled office meetings. Homework. Reunions with friends. Your first stop before work. Lunch breaks. Meditation. Study mindfuly with a cup of tea. Write a paper or cram for the big exam, with the best coffee in your hand! Why? That's just whatcha gotta do! Great sandwiches, wraps, and desserts! Oh-my! The coffee is rocking real fine! I say, drop what you're overwhelmed about, Relax and chillax. Stressed? Shelve it... Here you're blessed!

Get yo'self a cup a peace served up regularly at Babb's, especially when you think you don't deserve it because, at Babb's, you always do! Sleepy? On the go? Need a break from monotonous toil? Need new friends? Here, the air is sweet with vintage coffeehouse vibes likened to the vintage of well a cultivated vineyard's choicest wine, only it's tailored by the best roasted bean of Dancing Goats, and tastes like Holy Spirit in a cup. There's a story to that, and I don't want to spoil your curiosity. You're just gonna have to find out for yourself. ;)

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and Vegan selections are satisfying!

Dietary restrictions: Vegan and gluten-free options are plenty!

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy in and getting around. Tons of space, and the baristas are super helpful as well!

I visited for the first time and got myself a delicious iced coffee customized to my flavor. The shop is architecturally appealing with the warm cozy atmosphere. The customer service was lackluster. I stood at the counter for a bit with no acknowledgment from the three staff members working. The one who did come take my order was pleasant. When my drink was completed they called out the wrong name but I was the only one standing there so assumed it was mine. I did ask if they meant a different name and was rudely told "It's ___" which was not my name. I again said my name and she says an incorrect name again. She then said what the drink was. It was my drink and the first person just heard my name incorrectly. It was just a very rude interaction that didn't make me feel great about picking up a $7 coffee there. No desire to go back.

Funky, 90s-feeling coffee house. Great vibe and friendly, accommodating staff. Coffee was decent, but not amazing by independent coffee shop standards. Lots of baked treats (though they're spendy), and a large drink menu, with lots of flavorings, so there are all sorts of options in the desserty-drink lane if that's what you are after.

For those of you looking for serious third wave coffee, this wouldn't be the place, at least based on our first visit. Bubbly foam, super hot milk, single shot of espresso in the 12-oz drinks, etc. But if a 90s second-wave coffee house is what you're after, this seems like a great option.

Looking for a random place for breakfast, I saw someone mention a breakfast quesadilla. Well, that's my jam! I was very good, nice portion and flavorful.

What an amazing find!!! Fargo should be famous for Babbs. The staff are so kind, helpful, and skilled at what they do. Remarkably friendly.

We came in about 11 with a lot of people and we had some dietary questions and didn’t have our stuff together ?.

The staff were still super friendly and helpful. Babbs also has the goods on the food and drinks!!

It’s a great place to hang out and eat, drink coffee, etc. super cozy, tons of things to explore, games, super comfortable seating.

Dietary restrictions: They’re really great at handling gluten free options and the staff is super kind talking about it.

Walked up to the counter where two girls were working. One was making food and the other was cleaning. I didn't expect the one making food to help me, since she was busy. But the girl cleaning walked directly past me as though she were actively avoiding acknowledging me. The girl making food then looked at me confused, and I'm not sure if she was confused why I was there or if she was confused about why the other girl wasn't helping me. She said hello, I told them what I needed, and then she had to tell the other girl to get my food for me.

They played good music though.

Only filled my coffee a little more than half way. Bagel was flat and only gave a tiny container of cream cheese to spread on the bagel myself.

I recently stayed in downtown Fargo right next door to this place for a few days. The coffee was excellent! I did espresso one day, cappuccino another day, and iced coffee. Also a great environment to hang out in. And very friendly staff.
