Made a order that I forgot to pick up, still had the receipt but they still wouldn't refund me.

Best place for lox and bagels as far as I'm concerned! Also looking forward to trying their Borscht! read more

Fresh, complex, satisfying lunch. Ask for the gluten free menu! I had the vegan lox and eggs extra greens. Each bite was a delight. My GF daughter had the classic latke small plate, and we all wanted to order a round. So worth the stop. read more

Bernbaum's - Vegan lox and eggs - Bagels Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

My go to for breakfast or coffee meetings. The atmosphere is funky mid-mod. The people are amazing. The food is absolutely delicious! You'd think that someone who can't eat wheat (sadly, me) would shy away from a place known for their bagels...but the Egg of the Day is about the best thing on a plate. Inventive combinations of ingredients and spice combinations are inspiring...and tasty. The place is usually bustling and it never ceases to amaze me how many friends you'll meet picking up bagels for the office or grabbing a cup of coffee. This is a place that makes your heart (and your tummy) happy! read more

I've been coming here since back when they were just their own little corner of MidMod on Roberts, and this place has consistently had fantastic food, great service (the servers here are all sweethearts), and a cozy atmosphere. A lot of the time I'll just get a bagel & schmear, a pastry, and a coffee (old habits die hard), but everything I've tried on their menu is absolutely excellent. I just finished a Lox sandwich and I'm absolutely dumbfounded at how you can fit such a vast amount of perfect flavor into one sandwich. Chef Andrea is an absolute culinary genius. The line here is usually long, with a bit of a wait for food, but it's for very good reason, and the wait is always worth it. I really can't say enough about the food, service, and atmosphere here. It's hands down my favorite restaurant in the world. I come here at least once a week to get breakfast and write in my journal. BernBaum's is my happy place. read more

World-class Jewish deli items here. I say this on the basis of the regular knish and hazelnut rugelach I picked up, and only wish I could've stayed longer and ordered more items. Both the knish and rugelach had a crispy, light tooth to them, which is hard to do, or at least rate. The knish was savory and well-seasoned, the rugelach buttery and not too sweet. I will definitely rave about Bernbaum's to anyone who's headed to Fargo and look forward to my return. Note (that may or may not be relevant): - Challah: they have challah every day, but they do not make braided loafs. - Kosher: I forgot to ask and didn't see on the website, but the kithcen may not be kosher. If it's important, please call and ask. read more

The food may be spectacular, but I wouldn't know because it is one of the worst run establishments I've been to... especially a bagel place. We passed through town and needed something delicious to tide us over until the next city. Being from New York, I'm always up for trying bagel places to see how they measure up. First, I waited in line for about 45 minutes. Not exactly the fault of the staff, but they need more than 1 person taking orders when the place is so busy. And the folks in line were definitely not in a hurry. I saw some of the slowest ordering by customers in ages. Figure out what you want before you get to the register! The menu is posted on the wall, it is easy to read, and pretty simple. But hey... this isn't New York... so I can't expect much. Next, we found out that they only have 1 type of bagel.... With or without seeds. Ok... weird... but I can live with that. Next we're told that our bacon egg and cheese bagel sandwiches will take about 40 mins. Wow... but they were busy. We couldn't wait that long for our order, so we asked if we could just have 2 plain bagels. The cashier responded, "it will still take 40 mins". What??????!!!!!! Why can't you just go in the back and grab 2 bagels and we go our separate ways??! I asked if they needed to make the bagels for each order or do they have a stack in the back. She just responded, "they are already made, but you still need to wait for your order behind the other customer orders." So you really want someone to wait 40 mins for 2 plain bagels???? Why would you want people taking up valuable space in the restaurant, especially when it is packed, waiting for 2 plain bagels??!! Needless to say, I left empty handed. At least I met some lovely people in the 45 minutes line. read more

This place is incredible. I'm from Scottsdale, AZ where we have everything healthy under the sun and so many great options. I'm so blown away by this place! There's nothing like it where I'm from! We had the Potato Knish (which was the perfect amount of sweet, healthy, and veggie crunch) but be careful, it's really hot when served! Also, the Knitzka Bagel Plate was the perfect breakfast. We ordered it with the Everything Bagel and is the perfect light breakfast for the day. When ordering, Camille was very friendly and knowledgeable and happy to make some really great recommendations! Very professional, yet very friendly! I forgot to order coffee and the line was too long to get it but Amy was so nice that she rang me up at the Togo register so we didn't have to wait. Thank you! Will definitely come here again! And often! read more

Love everything about this place they have foods I haven't been able to enjoy for years

The food was pretty fast and super delish!! Love the decor and ode to great architecture. Highly recommend for vegetarians- or not. My sister had a Rueben that she thought was the best sandwich ever! read more

This is THE best in Fargo! First time here. I had an iced latte with lavender WOW (sorry Caribou), Orange roll melt in your mouth with Lingonberry cream cheese (to die for). Definitely worth waiting in line for (because it's sooooo busy) Proves it wonderful read more

Good food but slow service, give yourself some time if you're coming here. Recommend coming with friends so you're not sitting on your phone waiting for the food to arrive. read more

I went to their new location today to get bagels to go with smear on the side. It seems they put all their money into decor and let everything else slide for the following reasons. The service was horrific! I ordered my bagel thinking it would be fresh and warm or at least toasted if not baked within a few hours. Well, I was thoroughly disappointed when I bit into the cold brick bagel. As you can imagine, I took it right back. I was approached by a server/clerk who was not please with my opinion of the bagel. Her response to me was simply trash. She said, "for future reference, we serve our bagels at room temperature." And in my head I was thinking, honey, this shop is in Fargo - clearly not a metropolitan destination and not even close to somewhere I should be receiving pretentious service. The above happened this morning. So, this afternoon before writing this review, I contacted a friend who knows bagels. She is a native New Yorker, blah blah blah. Below is my conversation with my friend -- someone I consider a bagel expert. Me: Quick question, do you like bagels served room temperature or warm/toasted? Friend: Good question- if fresh then warm, if not toasted. Me: What constitutes a fresh bagel? How long after baking is a bagel considered fresh? Friend: If it's still warm -A couple of hours -Bagels+Fargo= not bagels Me: Hahaha -True enough Friend : Truly, I only like bagels from NY. Found three places in Chicago I will trust. -But I may be the biggest NY snob ever. Friend: What happened to your bagels? Me: I got two bagels. One I started eating right away in the car. -Super hard and cold AF Friend: thumbs down -you need to find a new place read more

The food is consistently fab. The service is friendly no matter how slammed they are. Never had a problem finding a table. And a perk of Fargo living is parking is never a problem, even downtown. read more

Lovely place for a light lunch. The food and service were very good. The soup bowls could be a little bigger but the onion soup was delicious. I ordered some toast points to go along with it. Would definitely go there again. Great atmosphere also. Thank you. read more

Vegan bagels and lox. Can't go wrong. I had the vegan bagel and it was by far one of the best breakfasts I've had. Super cute environment too and good gluten-free options for the spouse with celiacs. read more

Excellent selection of cream cheeses, spreads, and drinks! Only two options of bagels and they were pretty crunchy and over toasted when we got them. Would recommend but not go out of my way for. read more

Bernbaums is such a unique and delightful downtown spot. I LOVE their latkes but have yet to be even remotely disappointed in anything I've ever had there! The food is fantastic, the decor is cute and eclectic, and it's just got such a great ambiance. It's the perfect brunch spot to soak in the warm sunlight from the big windows while chatting and sipping their yummy coffee. read more

Love this little Norwegian and Israeli styled restaurant. Their GLT is amazing as is the Israeli lamb plate and bagels. Only thing that has me before was the addition of pork in a typically non-pork based dish (many religious Israelis/Jewish folxs so not eat pork) but that is a personal preference :) Friendly and has delicious deserts as well. read more

I admit I was super skeptical when a coworker recommended this place to me, a gluten free person, considering it's a bagel shop. I was pleasantly surprised with the number of options that catered to the allergy-limited crowd! I had the potato latkes with lox, and they were absolutely delicious. read more

I love their vegan options, really unique combinations that work well! The vegan Rueben is my go to.

Absolutely amazing! First of all, this is a gem of a spot. I went back to Fargo to visit family and was unsure if I would be able to find restaurants that have vegan options, etc. Not only did this restaurant have awareness of dietary restrictions and provide options, the food was honestly incredible--unique, fresh, and delicious. I highly recommend this spot. Coffee was excellent also! read more

One of my favorites. Bernbaum's doesn't attempt to be anything other than what it is: simple, delicious, and easy. I've had just about everything on their menu and I've never had something I don't like. A treasured part of our community and a great place to go alone, with family, for a lovely brunch or a great lunch. Orange rolls: amazing, soft, lightly citrusy. Perfect. Their bagels are terrific, cream cheeses delicious. Smoked lox sandwich/bagel plate is one of my go-tos. As well as their smoked trout salad and egg salad sandwiches. They usually rotate some very good egg dishes which are always so good. Seriously whatever you get, you'll love. Always always always. I love it here. read more

This place!!!! I fell in love with the Jewish Deli meets health whiz hummus moments. The intersection between innovative ingredients and classic feel good recipes has you wanting to come back every morning! ( I went twice in my week stay) Definitely coming back to check the progress on their brand new spot which is already proving V Cute! GO ! GO NOW ! And bring your friends ! read more

One of my favorite breakfast places and easily one of my favorites when I'm visiting family in Fargo. Funky retro furniture and an amazing menu that fuses Jewish and Scandinavian cuisine make this a unique experience. The service is friendly and the food is fantastic. read more

Went there for breakfast and can't wait to get back. The smoked trout and the latkes were excellent.

We were nervous it was going to be a long wait with nowhere to sit when we walked in. Service is quick, food was AMAZING - I had the Turkish style chicken salad. I can't praise it enough. I'm excited to go back read more

So. Good. Get the knish. Grab some cheese and bagel chips to go while you are at it. I love Bernbaums. Lox.

Amazing!!! Would go there every day if I could. Our group of 4 tried 8 things on the menu and each was better than the last.

Love this place. Delicious nutritious lovely food!! And everyone that works there really likes what they do

Incredible brunch food in a cozy atmosphere. Bacon, egg + cheese is an easy, satisfying pick up order

This is my go-to lunch place in Fargo. Andrea not only can make great food, but her beautiful food presentation will make you tear up. While some items are consistently offered, many dishes on the menu are changed up daily, so I'm always eager to go in and see what's new. Usually a few items are vegan and vegetarian, and sadly, while the bagels are not vegan, the vegan focaccia is a splendid replacement in the classic beet-hummus and micro greens platter. As for ambiance, this place is preciously tucked inside of Mid-Mod's vintage store, which is ran by her husband, Brett. While waiting for food, or after stuffing one's face, you can make small chat with your lunch date as you walk around the store, looking at quirky items. Plus, Bernbaum's serves their food on adorable vintage plates that remind you of your grandma's unique decor. If you like food, you need to come here. read more

The food is as delicious as can be and if I'd thought to take a picture before I inhaled it, you could see what I'm talking about. Seriously, these folks know their stuff. Big brother Brian Quigley took me and son Max there. If Bri hadn't known the place from being down the street from election headquarters, I would never have found it. But I'll find it next time. Inside was absolutely dreary so I was wary of what came next. What came next was a bagel (New Yawk of course) for my brother, cheese blintzes for me - and here I genuflect and some kind of sandwich for Max. Get into this place - it'll become your fav. read more

This place was marketed to me as a Nordic Jewish deli with an eclectic flair. It did not disappoint! I initially ordered the smoked brisket with carrot slaw, but they brought me the brisket bagel with sauerkraut, mustard and cheese. I was too hungry to go back and ask for what I ordered, so I ate it. The bagel was delicious and just out of the oven so it had a great warm bread smell to it. I selected the sesame bagel for my sandwich and it was yummy. The prime rib was thinly shaved, and both the German mustard and sauerkraut paired excellently (as they usually do). There were also a few micro greens on the side that I added to my bagel, and all of the sandwiches came on recyclable plates made from trees. I also tried the matzo ball soup which had chicken pieces (a little overcooked), carrots and great flavor. It wasn't over salted and the matzo ball held together nicely. Only one came with the soup which was a bit of a bummer, but it was a great side order with the bagel sandwich. They have coffee and other drinks in their fridge, but you'll have to get your latte else where. read more

Bernbam's is my all time favorite place to eat in Fargo. The new location is amazing with great lighting, lot's of seating, really convenient and still has all of the cute charm. Then don't even get me started on the food. They have so many fun, healthy, and dietary restriction friendly options. We need more places like this in Fargo. I love coming here and trying new foods, they always have stuff on the menu I have to google. the thing is, every time I try something new I find a new favorite. I have tried their peach salad, matza ball soup, beet hummus and oatmeal cookie. Everything was superb!! The only complaint I have is that the portions are very small. This is understandable though since they focus on presentation and quality. We are also so used to seeing ridiculous portions as Americans so maybe what they have is typical for other countries. read more

Hidden little gem, located downtown Fargo. Great matzah ball soup and Ruben sandwich. Amazing atmosphere! Will be back. Fargo needs more places like this! read more
