Crema's Take

Black Coffee and Waffle Bar is a spacious, family-friendly spot in Fargo that specializes in creative waffles (including thoughtful gluten-free options like their standout Fat Andrew) paired with espresso-focused coffee drinks. The friendly staff and laptop-friendly vibe make it a solid gathering place, though be prepared for potentially long waits during busy times, and know that the coffee itself tends toward the milder side. If you're there for the waffles and the welcoming atmosphere rather than pour-over precision, you'll likely leave satisfied.

The experience was fine. The worker very friendly. Our drinks were all kinda bland. Food was good but if you want to eat here you will be waiting well over an hour for food. Unfortunately we won't be returning in the future. This place has gone downhill from when I've personally been here before years ago.

Friendly service but takes about an hour to get a basic waffle. Came with 4 people and 2 waffles came out. 10 minutes later 1 more came. 10 minutes later the last waffle finally came out. The staff was apologetic and that was appreciated but whoever is running this place needs to seriously reevaluate the process they have in place for food prep and priority of service. The coffee was lukewarm and the chai lattes were bland. Neat place to hangout for an all day experience but not somewhere to go for a quick bite. You'll be here all day waiting for a bite to eat. The quality of the food when it finally came out was tasty but it doesn't make sense to wait so long for what appears to be a small, specialty item. I've gone to restaurants and received and full course meal with appetizers and desert and left before the time it takes to receive a waffle here. Thank you to the friendly staff but hopefully they can get this kink sorted out before we return. I'll try again in a year and update my review if things have improved.

I am gluten-free and every time I come to Fargo, I always stop by black coffee and waffle bar. I ordered the fat Andrew gluten-free waffle. Absolutely incredible. I’ll definitely be back.

We were absolutely horrified when we decided to visit this place. 🤢🥴 While we waited over an hour for some waffles, we were cleaning the table, which was so dirty 🤯 and sticky, the chairs were the same, the dishes were broken, the mugs were ready for the trash. I constantly had to hold my child's hands so she didn't touch anything, and then she put them in her mouth. The waffles ended up being like cotton wool, soggy and tasteless. NEVER GO TO THIS PLACE AGAIN. I don't recommend it to anyone at all. I wouldn't even give one star, it's a pity there's no option to minus a very, very bad star.

Stopped in for a great breakfast based on what some friends told me. This place was very good. The food was quite good. The place is large open and clean. The service was a very good considering there was only one person to help us. We stopped for breakfast there were five of us total. We had a large variety of items. The flight waffle, naughty waffle, The fat Andrew, a s'mores waffle, the Dakota luau, a one bad pig. Plus we got coffees drinks and a flight of drinks. Everything was made exactly as we ordered. Everything was quite delicious. The coffees were good as well. This was quite impressive to me considering there was one young gal running the entire place. It did take us a little while to get our food but considering there was only one server I was not surprised. I overall recommend this location as long as you have time to wait. Everything was exceptionally good in spite of the fact there was only one server.
