Revival Specialty Coffee Bar
612 1st Ave N, Fargo, ND
Crema's Take
“This Fargo coffee bar has earned serious devotion for their meticulous approach to espresso and homemade syrups, particularly their standout ube creation that keeps customers coming back for iced coffee orders. Beyond the signature drinks, they excel at pour-overs and milk drinks alike, with reviewers consistently praising the quality and care that shines through in every cup—the kind of place where you can taste that the team genuinely cares about what they're serving. It's the rare specialty coffee spot that makes both espresso enthusiasts and pour-over purists equally happy.”

They make their own syrups, which sets them apart from the other coffee shops. Their Ube syrup is quite unique and whenever I’m there, I usually get iced coffee. They are super polite in terms of customer service and overall it’s a nice coffee shop for people who love flavored coffee.
First, I should say I'm that rare person who doesn't really like espresso drinks, so I just ordered the regular coffee which turned out to be a pour over. I may be in the minority but I found it way too strong. I mean WAY too strong. To be fair that may be partially because I don't like my coffee sweetened. I took the lid off to see if maybe I could stir some milk up from the bottom and take the edge off the biting flavor and I found there were subtle but definite floaties indicating the milk was starting to go bad when they poured it (or else the coffee is so acidic that it soured the milk, though that seems unlikely). I will say the service was great, super friendly, but it seemed to me they're a little understaffed, there was one barista and a very long line and the waiting/seating area is tiny.
I’m so glad I made the trip here! It was absolutely one of the best coffees I’ve EVER had anywhere! I just got the vanilla latte with almond milk and it was so perfectly sweet, and the espresso was so smooth and didn’t give me a stomach ache like some places do. And one of the best parts…the syrups are homemade!!! Highly recommend :) Edit: I’ve become even more obsessed with Revival!! I could come here everyday. Everyone is so pleasant, it truly makes my day! I love talking with the baristas and other people there. It’s such a warm and safe space. Thank you!!!
SO GOOD! This is my second time trying this coffee shop and I have been so impressed. You can tell they truly care about quality. Most coffee shops have bitter espresso shots that they mask with lots of sweeteners. Here - even with little sweetener (some honey), the coffee tastes smooth and sweet! I used to work at a specialty coffee shop and my husband and I have our own espresso machine at home and take our coffee pretty seriously - so it’s hard finding coffee as good as what we make! This coffee shop meets our standards;) Both of the baristas were so sweet as well! Praying that the Lord would continue to bless this business.
DON'T WALK, RUN TO THIS COFFEE SHOP If you love a fantastically crafted cup of coffee, this is the place for you. You can truly feel, and taste the love put into your cup every time you order. With homemade syrups that dance across your taste buds with every single sip. I ordered the dirty chai with brown sugar syrup, and my wife got the knit blanket drink. This is one of the best dirty chai lattes iver ever had, and i have had in the hundreds. Speaking with the staff is like speaking to a friend, so easy going and fun, you can tell they love what they do and it shows. If you love coffee, get ready to make this place your home.
