This place is a hit or miss, they are often out of stock on some items and the staff can sometimes not give a flying F that you are there. That's a huge thing for me, seeing how staff treat their customers. Without your customers you are out of biz so those waiting to order or on food/drink, smile and be kind to them. read more

Bernbaum's - Bagels Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

Shared an Icelandic Bagel Plate that had house-cured gravlax, lox, pickled fennel, cucumber, onion, capers + microgreens, and seeded bagel and a side of horseradish caraway potato salad. At this point of the trip, it may have been the best bites of our time in Fargo. Ambience: It was buzzing with customers, either extremely busy and a long line or constant flow of customers coming to snag a table or something to go. Hospitality: The staff never seemed to stand still, taking orders or busting tables to clear tablets for customers to enjoy Bernbaum's. Even though staff were busy keeping the flow, they maintained the Midwestern niceness. read more

Cool, modern deli with a fun group of people running the spot. We were some of the earliest folks to get there (right as they opened) and about 5 minutes later a parade of regulars came in. You can tell this place has regular clientele. A few gave us recommendations. Great people working and dining. The matzo ball soup is a definite must have. Honestly, the yummiest matzo I've had. That's not exaggeration either. The egg salad was another winner. I love savory things so the egg salad + matzo was a great pairing. If you have an ambitious tummy add the latkes as well. Yummy and totally homemade. read more

Service was mediocre with a 35 minute wait for 2 lox bagels that had a higher than average price tag. Just fyi - they charge fees for using a credit card and packaging for carry out orders. On the bright side the lox bagel was pretty decked out. read more

Cutest little counter service cafe in downtown Fargo! They provide you a cute little animal as a table marker for food delivery. I ordered the lox & eggs. I've been once before & had the Turkey Pastrami hot sandwich! It's not many places you can find pastrami! They do have some pastries and other products you can purchase as well. read more

What's all the fuss about this Fargo restaurant? Plenty. We ordered inside, and sat outside during the Fargo Marathon and had the lovely June Fargo sun on our faces while we waited (a short while) for our food. We got a cool tiger figurine as our indication of where our food should be delivered. Our friendly server delivered our turkey sandwiches and salad promptly. I convinced my mom to give me a bite of her sandwich: warm and heavenly flavor. My salad was a delight too. Stop in soon! read more

Wonderful little spot in downtown Fargo. Local drinks, great comfort food, especially if you need a latke or knish. Friendly staff, reasonable prices, and decent portions. The white tiled walls are decorated with old time tin stoves and such. Used to be a hotel coffee shop, Peggy Lee (had a hit with"Fever") sang here back before WWII. Order at the counter, they bring the food to you. read more

Now, I know this is a deli, but it also has the vibe of a small town diner. the food is excellent here. The coffee also surprisingly good - I got the lavender latte with oat milk. I got the lox and eggs (they came with pickled red onions- so good). This is a pretty popular place so be prepared to be in line to order for about 10-15 minutes. The table markers are little animals which are so so cute, that actually may have been my favorite quirks about this place. read more

So satisfied I could plotz! Finally made it to BernBaum's, and it was even tastier than I imagined. The blintzes were phenomenal. Just sweet enough. And the labneh was so creamy and tart! There was more complexity to this labneh than any other I've tried. I am completely obsessed with the mid-century decor, and the service was just so prompt and pleasant. BernBaum's provides a top-notch nosh that will please even the most discerning bubbe! Zie gezundt! read more

Truly exceptional food! The atmosphere is basically a café or coffee shop but the food is incredible and makes up for sparse ambience. Be sure to try a knish, Myron's chicken matzoh ball soup and the Nordic lamb meatloaf. All were exceptional. I must admit the matzoh breaded chicken schnitzel was a little dry. It was two slices that were breaded. If it had been one thicker slice, I think it would've been much juicier and more tender. read more

Wow wow wow. Fantastic food! The matzo ball soup is the best I've ever had! I loved the atmosphere of the place, really cozy, service was little slow but they got to us eventually..... the Ladke with Brisket was marvelous, it had horseradish pickled carrots with it. YUM!!! read more

This was one of the best meals I've had thus far in 2020. It's been a few days and I'm still thinking about the smoked carrots, savory porridge and whipped curried tofu. My lands, you're sitting on a gem right here, Fargo. This should be noted as one of your top featured attractions!! Berbaum's has an interesting mix of Jewish deli and Scandinavian cuisine. They pair the two in a creative and innovative way- for example, we had the vegan bagel lox topped with smoked carrots, whipped tofu (curry/turmeric?), sunflower sprouts, pickled onions, za'tar and a seeded bagel. I was so sad when I took my last bite- the flavors in this sandwich are mind blowing. We also ordered the lingonberry blintzes and savory porridge. I've had savory porridge a few places and I'm surprised more restaurants haven't jumped on this train. Their version featured a combination of wild rice, blow corn and barley, I believe. I kept thinking, I wish they sold this combination of grains and that I had purchased some! It was Lahore's with smoked carrots, beets, creme fraiche herb and butter. Last but certainly not least, the young lady working the front counter could not have been more sweet, helpful and enthusiastic. I wish I would have got her name- bravo! She made the experience- even if it was brief and carryout. Now wishing our route home passed through Fargo so we could order this meal all over again. read more

Yummmmm. This place was highly recommended by someone from the area and I'm glad that it was! I even brought back some goodies from ND all the way back to OK for my boyfriend to try. Breakfast was eggs, lox, latkes, and a little chocolate babka. Latkes were nice and crispy on the outside, and I loved the heaping load of capers that came alongside the breakfast. Also - coffee here is amazing. Tried a cafe canadien for the first time here and I have to restrain myself from adding heaps of cinnamon and maple syrup into my coffee every day now. A must try if you're ever in the area! read more

Great little café with options for everyone in our group. We have light eaters, big eaters, lox lovers, and vegetarian's. Everyone enjoyed their breakfast, but I was the only one who snapped a picture. I really enjoyed the Iceland Bagel Plate. The coffee is great too and if you eat in-house, it's a bottomless cup. read more

Bernbaum's - Iceland Bagel Plate - Bagels Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

Food and atmosphere is great. There was a line out the door. Demand for this style of restaurant is clearly high in Fargo. Five stars for people watching. Eavesdropping is possible without trying. Despite the success of this establishment, unless they get a good quick handle on throughput they could fizzle. Especially problematic are the kids animal toy icons. These are used for the servers to identify the correct table for the order. It does not work. I watch more than one server circling the restaurant looking for a small toy on an already crowded table. They are effectively camouflaged. Replacing the icon with numbers on tall stands would speed up most everything. Finally there were a about three or four house fly's bugging us throughout out our meal. Never good and easily mitigated. I wish this restaurant the best. However until they can solve the icons and flys they receive an average rating. Once these two matters are solved, for their class, they are a solid 5 stars. read more

Bernbaum's - I got this cute little pink Dino as a gift ... - Bagels Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

The local (and visitor) raving about Bernbaum's has been growing over the past couple years but after they expanded to their new location on Broadway, I don't think I go a day any more without hearing someone mention Bernbaum's or see someone post on social media. And this is not hype; it is legit food cred for them. I find myself going back to the egg, cheese, bacon & other stuff bagel sandwich because it is so good. I could eat this every day. Eventually I'll continue to do a better job of working my way through the menu. I'll still have yet to try the Matzo ball soup, which looks great and is my son's go-to item. People gush over the Black & Whites (cookies). I see just last week they added a dinner menu so now I have even more food items to check off of my list. I also love the new location with all the seating, the natural light and the Stumbeano's coffee station. read more

Bernbaum's - Plenty of seating at their new location - Bagels Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

What a cute little deli/Cafe located in Downtown Fargo. You can pick up to go or order there and eat. They have indoor & outdoor seating available. First off I think they need more menus available to see & decide. If you are in the back of the line the menu isn't visablw until close. With limited time to review the menu I picked egg salad and an Americano. The coffee menu is on a completely different wall then the food menu. During taking our order they let us know it be about a 30 minute wait which seemed perfectly fine. My boyfriend orders their chicken salad Sandwhich & a diet Coke. Our friend ordered right after us & sat with us. They give you a little action figure to take and set on your table to come find you. My Americano came out quick and was really nice. It even came is a fun cup. We were fine waiting until about 40 minutes later when people who were behind us in line started receiving their ordered first. At the 56 minute mark our friend & I received our food. They apologized for the delay & admitted that my boyfriend's chicken Sandwhich was missed & they were making it. They asked if they could bring anything in there mean time & my boyfriend delclined. After some convincing he got a macaroon. It was really yummy. It was nice offered him something to tide him over. I waiting for my boyfriend's meal as we split our sandwhiches to share. My egg salad was solid. It was a little bland, bit look d beautiful. How chicken salad was really good! Overal the staff was nice, the asestic was pleasing, and they did a good job. I think they could just number the tables as they were wandering around having a hard time finding the figurines on the tables. I felt bad for some of the staff wandering trying to figure it out. It definitely could be simplified. I will for sure return though! Next time I will likely look at the menu in advance. Also it was quiet warm inside, so if it's a warmer day dress light. read more

My sister and I tried out this place while we were visiting Fargo on Easter Sunday. Very much appreciated this place being open as almost everything else in town was listed as open but were actually closed. The cafe was a counter serve restaurant with a lot of different options. The service here was decent, not the friendliest but got the job done. The café was really appealing to the eye and offer lots of seating. As for food, I ordered a quiche like item for which I cannot remember the name and a porridge. The prices were pretty great and I got both of my items for a total of $16. The quiche like item was fantastic and very enjoyable. Would certainly order that again. The porridge was horrible and I may never eat porridge again. My sister got a banana cream pie which was fantastic and the best I've ever had of this. So overall the food was pretty good and we were happy with our experience. Would definitely give this a place to try if you're in town! read more

This may be about as close to a NYC deli as you will find in Fargo. Bernbaum's features bagels and offers deli sandwiches. I had and recommend the brisket which is made almost like a pastrami sandwich. There was a line and the food takes a while to arrive, but it was good. They do not offered brewed tea only bottled drinks but they did have some unsweetened which was sweet. read more

Went to Fargo for the weekend and was craving bagels, found this perfect spot! We ordered ahead online and picked it up because we have a dog and I don't think it's dog friendly. The inside looked chic and cute, kind of retro vibes. Had the cold Lox bagel (seeded) - 10/10. Ordered it as is, didn't change anything on it. My fiancé had the Turkey pastrami sandwich (warm) and he said it was a 10/10. Now coffee - not a huge coffee drinker but I had the lavender latte with honey and almond milk. Best lavender latte I've had, ever. Fiancé had a chai latte and had no complaints We will definitely be going there again and recommend if you are wanting sandwiches or bagels. read more

Bernbaum's - Vegan Lox Bagel Plate - Bagels Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

I adore this place. I live down the block and it's my regular haunt for bagels. It shares the space with a midcentury modern furniture shop, pretty quirky and cute. The folks behind the counter are unfailingly friendly. Only con of the space is no A/C in the summer, but they usually have the box fans blaring. It's got great vegan options, too. The salads are good and rotate regularly, but the real veg star of the menu is the vegan lox plate. That's my go-to dish when dining in there. Though, they also have a whipped tofu cream cheese that's great on a bagel. (And beet hummus, which is a beautiful purple color, if you're just in it for the gram.) Pro-tip: GET THE BAGEL CHIPS. Phew they're amazing, with or without dips. And only $5 a bag. read more

Yes! Made a special stop on a road trip to get some food. I am SO HAPPY we did!! Thanks ordered the egg salad on a seeded bagel! Heck yes!! The egg salad was yummy and I look bed the capers and cucumbers! We also got the potato latkes. They are so so delicious!! I think these are on the expensive side and every once in a while totally worth it! The apple stuff is to die for! So sweet and so so good! Maybe I would like to order a side of that. It was fairly fast and the service was good. One of my favorite places in all of Fargo! read more

Wow, what a great Yelp recommendation. Lunch with my wife and kids, two of whom are vegan. Several options for them. Wife can't stop talking about the egg bake. Non-vegan kid loved the schnitzel (although the potato salad - meh). My sweet porridge was terrific. But the lattes .... Wow. Firmest milk foam ever. Really terrific effort by the barista. We will be back. Highly recommended. read more

One of the few places that has a Jewish feel in (for lack of a better word) in Fargo. Disappointing to see staff with Watermelon pins. Free speech is important but so are appropriate venues. This -- pinned onto the apron of at least one of the workers (but it's hard to imagine it's a sanctioned part of the uniform) -- felt intentionally antognizing. Wonder if the owners are okay with alientating some of their customers this way. They announce on the door that it is a "safe space" but is it safe all around? Certainly after 10/7 and the rise in anti-semitism in the world, it is worth saying that these kinds of expressions make some people feel unsafe. DIdn't see any Israeli flags. The food is pretty good. The bagels are solid and so is the lox. read more

Stopped here for Lunch on a busy market Saturday, with 3 friends. They all got some version of a Rueben and I got a picnic plate (a charcuterie of sorts... cheeses, meats, bread and crackers, olives, fruit and mustard). Food was excellent, decor was vintage finds and very comfortable. The place smells like a great Jewish deli. Smoked fish, rye, sweet treats. Yum!. Service was a bit slow and the cashier had had trouble ringing in our order, so we had to follow up after people who came in long after us had their food. One Rueben came out, solo and the rest were 5 minutes later. Despite the wait and confusion, the food was delicious and we would go back again, happily. read more

THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE HOW AMAZING THIS PLACE IS Seriously, drop what you're doing and come here. I mean like right the freak now. Shut up. Don't argue. Just go. And even if you're a dairy loving meat-eater, order the vegan lox. No, don't argue. Just freaking do it. Like dooooooo it! I had mine on the focaccia bread. It was perfect. Not crunchy. Not too chewy. Perfect. The rest of the build your own lox maddens was Divine. Dah-Vine! The whipped herby tofu instead of cream cheese. Soooo good. The black garlic spready wonder. Amazing. The onions and capers. Yes. The smoked carrots sliced thinly instead of salmon... what the what?!? SOOOO GOOD. I don't know how else to tell you. Get this dish. Get it. Eat it. And thank me later. And get the soup. Whatever it is. Just get it. And get a black and white cookie. Get two. Or possibly three. And don't share. Those are for you. read more
