Coffee is EXCELLENT. I have been here a couple times in past years when traveling through Fargo.However, THE process to order and get coffee this trip DURING COVID was terrible. Order, to payment, to coffee was over 15 minutes. (I had trouble, hopefully others do not.) My breve was really good... But the process was not.

Good brews and good vibes. Definitely a must for urban adventurers.

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, theyre 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. Im 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 youre 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.

Great coffee and lemonade yummmmmmmm, service is great

Cozy small town coffee shop / music venue. I really liked the look and feel of Red Raven, but wasnt blown away by their drinks. Their signature drink, the Frape Raven, was really good if youre a fan of sweeter drinks, but the other drink we ordered was somewhat meh. Overall its worth checking out if youre in the area.

Always a place I have to stop when I pass through Fargo. Good drinks, good people, good atmosphere!

Red Raven forever. Co-operatively run with great staff, local art and shows, and free meeting spaces. The outdoor patio in the summer is the best!

Love the tomato and pesto sandwich. Wash it down with a Dead Mans Drip and refills are only $0.50!!!

My favorite coffee place in town, cant wait for their reopening!

Friendly, good service and coffee.

Relaxed atmosphere, almost feels like the friends coffee shop. Its the kind of hand crafted quality you dont get at Starbucks.

Eclectic hippie chic. Great beverage and snack menu. Excellent customer service. Ambient patio. Plenty of seating. Great prices.

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

Red raven presents itself as a local meeting place for anti-establishment and anti-capitalist individuals and philosophy. At the same time, it is difficult not to notice the apparent contradiction of a place of business spouting an anti-capitalist philosophy. One must wonder if this philosophy is simply a brand the coffee shop presents in order to attract a niche market that cannot be taken by typical capitalist trappings. On the other hand, it is possible that one will always be feeding into the capitalist system and it is better to do it at an establishment that attempts to present such ideology.Anyway, good atmosphere and good coffee. One of the better places in Fargo.

This place is awesome. Came in for the first time on 11/9/19 and was greeted with live and local punk music and some evening coffee. It’s a very comfortable atmosphere and all the staff was very laid back and cool to talk too. Will be making this a regular hangout spot.

Had band playing and it was a little too loud for such a small place but otherwise enjoyable place with great coffees

Cozy establishment with excellent drinks.

Cool place with a really nice vibe, I dont drink coffee but they have plenty of sodas in glass bottles and other beverages and snacks.

Parking is super limited, I dont recommend visiting during peak hours. The products were quite tastey for the pricing, but they were or of a lot of product. Including both options for side dishes without a price reduction to our sandwiches. The seats could definitely use a bit of repair. Over all though, we enjoyed or experience and it was a nice place to meet our friends.

KT is the best barista. The best vibes and art at this little espresso parlor. Get the sloppy duck if you have a chance.

A co-op coffee shop. Try the grilled sandwich! Wonderful staff and comfy spot.

Always love this place. Unique drink and food options- vegan options

Omgsh... best Americano in town.... about $3.50

Groovy invorment cool people laid back crowd

We were there at the tail end of a busy morning, and I think the baristas were tapped out. This isnt really a place Im comfortable in. Others clearly enjoy it, and the coffee is quite good. Its quite grungy, which seems to be a quality that many people appreciate and are comfortable with. Red Raven hosts many events, and they have an important role in downtown Fargo.

Great local coffee place with a nice meeting room and local live music

Hands down best Chai Latte Ive had locally. Knowledgeable staff you can tell have the passion.

Coffee was good. Bands were fun to watch.

Dark and comfortable. Perfect.

The Red Raven espresso parlor is a unique cafe whos atmosphere makes up a major portion for the experience.Its starts with entering the establishment. Once can drive through a back alley and go through a small hallway to get into the building. Its unconventional structure feels exciting, adventurous, and also welcoming.The store is usually staffed with just one barista. That alone should be indicative of how busy the place can get.The music that plays is usually relaxing ranging from ambient to lo-fi to obscure classic rockThe cafe is dimly lit with several booths that have outlets accompanied with them. It is a quite incredible place to just study.Occasionally there will also be live bands that will play. Theres is an entire stage for performers to be on too.The coffee there is better than a couple of local down town cafes that I have been too in Fargo.

I was delighted with the cafe miel! This is a great ed at place to meet friends!

Really dig the diveenvironment of downtown.

A nice underground coffee shop that has some amazing shows

They have the GREATEST coffee, teas and monster cookies!

Really great place! I just wished they had better parking. Its really difficult to find parking then you have to walk a great deal.On the plus side I go for the Cuban Coffee straight out of South Miami FL. If you like espresso Cuban Coffee is Off The Chain.Great job folks, Id be there more if you had better parking.Jamie

Great coffee drinks, sweets, and meat-free sandwiches (that are at least as good as the real thing). Perfect for a quick lunch or an afternoon of coffee and boardgames.

They make the best lattes Ive had in Fargo. I also love their vegan sandwiches and their bagels.

5 stars for maul the lead singer looks like Freddy Mercury but like way hotter and not dead

Feels kinda like a club of friends that you arent allowed to be at. Shows are tough because they have no sound person and nobody really willing to assist. If you book a show, youre on your own, just know that

This is a really cool coffee shop. Art on the walls, quiet, food options as well as coffee. The one thing that might trip you up is the location. Its on main avenue but the entrance is located in a parking lot in the back. Regardless their different coffee drinks are awesome. Check it out =]

Their coffee and atmosphere were amazing, a great place to hang out! Will be back for sure!

Had a great time listening to Go Murphy perform. Red Raven is a great place to hang out with a relaxed atmosphere.

Not open

Great coffee! Pleasant atmosphere and local art. Caring staff will always help you with your unique coffee and espresso needs.

The absolute best place in Fargo

Great coffee comedy night sucked

Great local stop - always has a great event every week

It was my first trip here. I had a caramel mocha frappe (I think). It was delicious! Tasted like chocolate covered coffee beans. Great atmosphere.

Hands down my favorite coffeehouse in the FM area. Very comfortable, at-home feeling. Great patio. Coffee tastes amazing, better than anywhere else. Local art hangs on the wall and is usually very reasonably priced.

Words cannot express my love for the red raven, employee owned, great coffee, and different kinds of events, perfect sober space and always open late

My girlfriend works here and shes cool

I love this place. Their coffee and bakery goods taste so great and the staff is really friendly. Service is quick and their music selection is awesome.

Great prices and even better drinks. The perfect place to study or catch a show/event. Highly reccommend!

The atmosphere is amazing and its very quiet for drawing, and the art is localy made! Love it so much!

Fun local vibe coffee shop, a better PA system would help enhance the experience when local artists perform.

This is a cool little hipster espresso bar with a small stage for open mic nights and lots of local color/flavor hanging up around the walls. An interesting hangout, this place is open until a 11:00 PM which makes it a real winner. The coffee and espresso drinks are better than good but not exceptional.

Terrible place!! If you cant stand behind your country an will not support the military then you have no room for a business. Good luck in going under!Dont tell them you are military. You will be ask to leave. What a great place! NOT!! Thank you to all that has given it their all for my/our freedom.

Fabulous atmosphere, very chill. Its kind of that underground spot where all the cool people go. The Raven totally embodies what it means to be a coffee shop.

Not bad, but definitely not my kind of place.

This place has open mic nights for local artist to show case their talents. Tuesday is the night EVERYONE needs to check out the local funny people! Come out, forget its only Tuesday, and get your laugh on.Reason for the three stars is because the employee who works these nights needs to stop being so pretentious! I will say once his costumer service skills get better than maybe people might order more than just water

I enjoy the camaraderie and the excellent board games they have and dear suppressors not bed to boot!

I just think that Red Raven shows how Equality is paramount to Great Customer Service! Thank you for standing up for LGBT Patrons! Well Done! Thank you So much! It IS Appreciated! I hope you will be overflowing with customers flocking to your Wonderful Establishment!

Chill coffee shop, they have cool events here often

Worker-owned, grass roots coffee and tea place with a variety of spaces and an open minded vibe.

Ok place go open mic comedy night possibly opening a shows there only fits 60 people 100 first staff in the building the open ..

Love this coffee shop, truly my favorite spot to go for coffee (or apple cider) and to watch poetry night

I love this little hole-in-the-wall place. Its charming and earthy. A variety of shows on their small stage (adopt a cat, open mic comedy night on tuesdays, poetry readings, art shows, vegan breakfast specials, etc) during the nights and weekends. Service is polite. Area is small but that adds to the charm. Theres seating around a small bar, fold out chairs for the shows, tables with chairs regularly, and a couple couches. Food selection changes (they do serve vegetarian and vegan food/snacks) and coffee/teas are always served.

Great coffee, free Wi-Fi, indoor and outdoor seating, two all gender restrooms, and general great atmosphere and friendly employees. Perfect for LGBT+ hang out in the F-M area. Plus, they have a lot of board games for customers to play for free.

I consider myself one of those people that loves coffee place atmosphere and although I can see how some people may like it, this place is beyond even me.I had the Matcha Green Tea Latte, which while tasty at times, wasnt mixed properly at all with balls of matcha powder floating in the drink and the bottom of the cup was covered in it. Sloppy barista work.The Red Raven is in an old building, I get that, but the place has a very distinctive and unpleasant smell. Ive been to plenty of coffee places in restored buildings and warehouses that do a much better job at air quality.Again, I can see how this place might be some peoples cup of tea, but its definitely not mine.

Best gulag in town 9/10, 10/10 with bread.

I love this place. It is so refreshing. The people are welcoming and there seems to always be something going on here. However, the cappuccinos usually wake a (lonnnggg) while to make.

My absolute favorite coffee shop in the world. Great coffee and great atmosphere. I always come back

Grrrrrrreat coffee & tea; wonderful atmosphere.

Great place to grab coffee/tea and relax.

Dead Mans brew with organic half and half. 50 cent refills so lets have coffee!!! The artichoke and hummus sandwich is a great choice for anytime of the day. My favorite place to set up my mobile office in Fargo and have coffee and food.

Very good atmosphere and coffee. Great place for hanging out and even dates. Plenty of entertaining events every week. Would absolutely recommend

So cozy and homey

Dankest little cozy coffee shop in town

I love the red raven- Ive spent the years hanging out here and its got the same awesome local flavor it has had since the beginning.

Sweet and cozy atmosphere, with reusable cups for drinking both hot and cold beverages in house. Poetry, live music and stand-up comedy on occasion, all fun!

Love this cute place! So awesome! We come each year from Australia and its great to have REAL coffee in a mug

Very unique

I really value the owners standing by what they believe in, and I give them my business accordingly. More than that the staff is very friendly and accommodating. I have gone there with people who other people see as different, and the staff at Red Raven treat them with respect and kindness- and this DOES NOT happen everywhere! Thank you Red Raven!

Such s cool place! Ive been going to the Red Raven ever since middle school. Such a cozy place..always feel at home when Im there

Awesome place to go and vibe. Occasional live music, good drinks and food, and your kind of people. Be going there often

Espresso was amazing! Dont get the brewed coffee though. It was weak. Overall great place and great staff!

Delicious vegan sandwiches

Good coffee and a very chill atmosphere. They have lots of good books and outlets, and baked goods.

This place rocks. Great coffee. great atmosphere. they have open mic and comedy shows sometimes. You should try it. Youll be back.

This is my favorite place in Fargo to relax. Always good music, people are friendly, and the patio is amazing. Just bring a good book and get your coffee.

Great coffee, decent service, reliable wake me up. Neat atmosphere.

Great mocha!

Best hidden gem low key coffee shop in fargo moorhead. My go to is the artichoke and hummus with salad .. For $5.25 its a deal

Always loved this place. Great coffee and a very quiet place to study or what have you. Free WiFi.

The Red Raven has the best outdoor seating of any coffee shop in all of Fargo. Plus they have amazing coffee and some tasty cold press. It is a must visit place if in Fargo.

So relaxing, great coffee, and a Mock Duck sandwich that is very tasty!

Great drinks and vegetarian sandwiches

Ok Coffee. Only one brew unfortunately. Relaxed atmosphere.

Eclectic character, quality beverages, and a multifaceted interior make this a fine place to visit. Quiet outdoor seating is a plus.

Super friendly staff and awesome coffee. I will definitely go back!
