My good ol’ Mr. Coffee pot gets me through the day, but sometimes I am craving something a little more unique than my typical “reheated in the microwave at least three times before I ever get to the bottom” coffee. Sometimes we need a treat from one of the great coffee shops in Fargo.
So, call it a field trip, buckle in the kids, and head to one of these locally-owned Fargo coffee shops with a drive-thru.
THUNDER COFFEE
Community. Driven. Coffee.
Thunder Coffee exists to create a sense of community through coffee. You will often find them using their space to bring people together, to collaborate with local non profits or to uplift other small businesses, artists and makers. They take the time to ensure that your drink will taste great and they treat you well in the process. They offer several unique drinks and flavors, house-made baked goods (try their home made Pop Tarts!), roast their own coffee, and even make all of their syrup flavors in house. Make sure to watch their seasonal menu as they rotate new, and sometimes odd sounding, drinks. They assure us that they taste through all the not so great versions of the drink first and only serve the ones that taste good!
OTHER LOCAL DRIVE-THRU COFFEE SHOPS
Beans
It’s a great drive-thru stop with the kids (and grown-ups) because every cup of coffee comes with a mini cinnamon and sugar donut on top. So grab a coffee for you and a hot chocolate for the kids (you can even buy a bag of their mini donuts) and go for a drive! Another great feature is that all locations have a kid play area! Beanbags, coloring books, and a basket of toys sit in a cute corner so mom can have coffee with a friend or client while the kids are entertained nearby.
Locations:
5675 26th Ave S./Veterans Blvd (West Fargo)
2550 S. University Dr. (South Fargo)

Bully Brew
Bully Brew loves your dog and welcomes them into their two coffee shops in Fargo. The shop was even named after the owner’s two bulldogs, Lizzie and Elvis. So head out on a walk with your pup and make a coffee stop. They’ve got a great chai latte to try and you can even buy treats for your pooch!

Delicious lattes in town and great service… plus a friendly, positive message left on each cup! They make a unique drink called a Redbull Zinger, infused with fruit flavors. You’re sure to find something creative at Ladybug Latte.
