Coffee

Posts here are devoted to the simple joy of coffee—whether it’s a nitro oat latte in Fargo or a tasting flight during a road trip. I share notes on cafés visited, beans tried and the small moments that make each cup memorable.

Got my first shipment of Nordskogen Coffee today! Looking forward to pulling some shots of espresso.

Swing’s Coffee Roasters.

Two white ceramic cups of coffee with latte art on a rustic wooden table, a large latte and a smaller cortado, each on a saucer with a spoon.

The Lab by Alchemy Coffee

I was looking for a coffee fix and Tammy did some searching and found The Lab by Alchemy Coffee. We drove here and the place looked pretty solid. Great ambiance and they seemed to have their act together. I got a macchiato as well as a pour-over to go. The macchiato presented great, but was a bit thin. They need their espresso dialed in a bit better. The pour over was really good however the roast was a little lighter than I would typically go.
