The absolute best coffee shop in GF. Great people working behind the bar, great drinks and seasonal menus, good food and sandwiches with in-house made bagels. The best part is the ambiance. They keep the old, vintagey look with the exposed brick and wood counter and benches, but have had beautiful recent renovations. It does get busy on Saturdays and Sundays from the farmers market and church, plan accordingly! read more

A whimsical shop, book and small jewelry items being offered. Grabbed a recovery tea and added jasmine tea for the added antioxidant, as well as a honey latte for $10.21. Their default size unless specified is a small. Husband may need another coffee to get his morning fill. The recovery with the added jasmine isn't too bad. My husband said the oat milk honey latte is decent. Games for folks to play while you have a coffee, tea or snack. A few big carby big donuts that look more about quantity than quantity. read more

Great cool hip place. The food is good the coffee is good. The process is bad! The ordering the pickup and the actual calling out your name for food and coffee is bad. They just put coffee on the bar and call your name out at a whisper. We got food before coffee cause the setup is not in an organized mess. Also the vibe with the eccentric artwork and pictures and historical buildings fixture is cool but not when you look at the dust. The dust in the place is gross and the bathrooms are dirty. Please dust the ceiling fan and metal tile roof. Clean the mirror on the back wall with a clean rag. Wash the windows in the whole place . Please care enough for me to spend $35 on 2 coffees sandwich and a tip? Or I won't? read more

Cute coffee shop but horribly dirty. Ceiling fans caked in dust which are over the drink and food prep areas. The entire place needs a deep clean. Makes me wonder about cleanliness of food/drink prep areas. read more

Pros: - older building with character - wide range of coffee and teas to order Cons: - not a good flow to the place, there just seems like lots of stuff packed into that space - ordered a simple decaf cappuccino and it was put in a paper cup, even though I was dining in - the coffee was not good at all I probably won't go back there. read more

Went here for the first time on a Saturday during the street fair. There was live music that day. The guy was so loud I couldn't even hear myself when ordering so we didn't stay inside. If I lived in town, this would be my coffee go to simply because the iced Agave Miel is the best coffee drink ever. The coffee was smooth and went down way too quick. The menu has several healthy options - not your box chain coffee shop with like 50g of sugar per drink. The coffee comes in a standard size. I did order an americano to add to my second visit drink because it was sweeter than the first even though I ordered the same Agave Miel. It was no big deal because it just meant I got to drink more coffee. Prices are reasonable. My third visit was during the week around 3:30ish and it was much more chill. The place wasn't as busy and no live music. The building is an old original historic building with tons of character and charm. If you are going to hang out, there is plenty of places to sit; the bar, booths, tables, even outdoor seating. It's a good spot to visit with friends, study, play board games, people watch, etc. The staff is minimal contact so they don't really interact with people other than taking your order from what I experienced and observed. I have now been here a total of three times since visiting during the last two weeks. read more

Real cool building with a lot of character. I had a great mocha latte. Good coffee menu. They side have much in the way of bakery and it was very expensive and looked like it had been sitting there awhile . But if you are coming for coffee it's great. read more

Very cute coffee shop in Grand Forks. I came here about 3 times during my visit over a few days. A big fan of their offerings here - oat milk and matcha lattes. Glad that Grand Forks has a place like this! read more

This is the best coffee in this area, they also have good food options. The staff is friendly and hard working, the shop has a great atmosphere to hang out in, and I enjoyed my iced honey latte. I traveled 20 min to this shop and I would do it again in a heartbeat read more

Definitely seemed like the place to be in downtown Grand Forks. Coming from Fargo, where we are spoiled with our awesome downtown coffee shops, Urban Stampede was right up my alley in all my expectations of a downtown shop - that includes the coffee itself and the vibe. There is plenty of parking in downtown Grand Forks, with much of the street parking appearing to be 2 hour. There is a city-owned parking ramp basically across the street from the coffee shop and I parked there for the entire day for only $8 (which is their day pass; even less if you are parking 4 hrs or less). read more

- customizable drinks and milk alternatives always available - light bakery bites - wifi is great, charging ports everywhere - atmosphere is very chill - a laptop warrior's perfect spot to chill and get work done - my drink of choice: Lavander Chai with Oatmilk(you have to request the added lavender) you can thank me later. read more

I went out of my way to get my coffee here on a recent trip to Grand Forks, based solely on the reviews. I was NOT disappointed. Located in a quaint area, near downtown... it sits on a corner with a little outside seating area. It is pretty spacious inside, and looks to get a lot of local/regular patrons. I ordered the grande espresso mocha and a fresh croissant. I was SUPER happy with both, this is so fast food quality coffee shop and if I ever return to Grand Forks I will come back. read more

Urban Stampede - Great Coffee! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Grand Forks, North Dakota

Love the atmosphere, and the coffee was great! The people are really nice! The service was pretty good, too. Great place

Best coffee in town! Always something new and yummy! They are always the best for allergies too. So many choices even for those of us with diary or other allergies! My favorite coffee shop by far! read more

So, I walked in off the street to have some tea and, to my great surprise, there was Gandalf the Grey, servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor, performing what I believed to be a top-to-bottom performamce of The Shins' 2003 masterpiece: Chutes Too Narrow. I had thought I was a relatively healthy person coming in, but I'm thinking I should probably make a trip to Altru's ER and make sure I haven't suffered a stroke or a debilitating mental break--that's how unsure I am that any of this actually happened and that this isn't a fever dream. At any rate, good tea and decent coffee, although it's a bit spendy. Would recommend. read more

The owners son recommended this place to me and my friend and this is a great little place! They have board games, plenty of tables, booths, the barista we had was really sweet. It has that great local charm that you'd want in a coffee shop Iced mocha was delicious read more

this shop has totally turned around in the right direction with the new owners. Better coffee, machines, drinks and trained baristas!

This is THE best coffeeshop coffee I've EVER had - and that's saying something! The service is friendly and quick and the atmosphere is beyond enjoyable with the historic feel of the space and the stylish decor. There are puzzles, games, and books on a back shelf for entertainment while you sip delicious coffee (free refills up to an hour!) or enjoy a scrumptious dessert item. One of my favorite aspects of this place is that it's right near the railroad tracks so you get to see and hear a train go by every once in a while (it's not loud). Make sure to get an exclusive "Grand Freakin' Forks" souvenir mug while you're there, too! read more

Delicious bites and fabulous beverage selection and the service was great, too! Such a comfortable atmosphere. We will be back again.

Love the revamped coffee drinks, especially when I can get them in a real ceramic mug rather than a to go cup.

Holy Damn! If I was a religious man I would praise Jeebes for this coffee shop. After spending the first 33 years of my life in New Jersey, NYC, Boulder, and Portland (Oregon), I've been in Crookston Minnesota for the past two plus weeks. There's one coffee shop in town here, but it's filled with retarded people, bad books, and Folgers. Since there's nowhere else to hang out in the cesspool of racism, I decided to ride my bike 28 miles just for something resembling culture. I was not disappointed. The entire town of Crookston, I believe, has three bike racks, while just the surrounding quarter block near Urban Stampede has the same. I arrived at around 3:30 PM and it was busy enough to seem cool, but not so full that I felt awkward. The woman behind the counter was polite and friendly without being annoying, the coffee was cheap, dark, and came with a free refill, and I got a booth with my own personal lamp and four outlets. I hung out there for a couple hours without receiving the strange, crosseyed stares that I get in Crookston for being an outsider. I got a lot of work done (and by work I mean reading and writing) while being able to observe the interesting blend of people who came through the doors. Rain, sleet, hail, or snow I will be back at Urban Stampede as much as I possibly can before I finally manage to escape this strange section of the world. read more

The name alone made me want to visit as my surname is Urban. The other reviews helped seal my decision. Great location in downtown Grand Forks with plenty of street parking available. It's in an old building and has a very cool feel. Upon walking in there are so many cool things to look at from the ceiling, to the chandeliers, the artwork (which is for sale), wall murals, and an old safe towards the rear. It wasn't very crowded so there were plenty of choices in seating available. The employee that helped me was very nice and friendly. He made such a great caramel latte that I ended up getting two! Free wifi, and it was super fast too. Glad I stopped by and I can certainly recommend others do as well. Cheers. read more

Nice little quiet place to study and get regular coffee but ever since they hired new staff who don't know how to make drinks, stopped coming regularly. I tried to ordered an iced white chocolate latte and they had no idea what that was. They told me I had to order something on the menu. They just had seasonal, crap with gingerbread lattes. If they can't make something simple, they shouldn't be a barista. The last time I went the the barista was a college student who thought chatting with his friends was more entertaining instead of taking my order which I found disrespectful. read more

A pretty coffee house with good espresso and pastries. The lemon poundcake was amazing. The chocolate muffin was good (according to my dining partner) and the cappucino wasn't over-steamed. Plenty of plug ins for charging, too. Kid-friendly as well. read more

Living in Minneapolis I will tell you I have been to many local coffee shops, and this place is not one to brag about. We ordered and sat right at the bar where we watched the lady pour old coffee in a cup with ice and skim milk. My iced chai was straight syrup and ice. No one was friendly towards us. She was just a disgruntled college student too good to serve a good cup of coffee. read more

The Italians sodas are awesome. I love the Yoda. Plus, the staff is usually smokin' hot chicks. I'm not talking about gals who are "pretty good looking" I'm talking about SMOKIN' EFFIN' HOT, brother.

Urban Stampede is the perfect escape from the monotony of Grand Forks. Stepping inside, you truly get to appreciate the classic charm with the beautifully adorn tin ceiling. The coffee is great, but the environment is what makes Urban Stampede a great destination. In the summer, out door seating is available allowing you to take in the slow pace of life on the streets of Grand Forks. The crowd is mainly older during the day grabbing a cup of coffee while on break from their place of employment. A younger crowd shows up a night mainly consisting of UND students and a few sprinklings of high schoolers. Urban Stampede is truly a gem in Grand Forks read more

I came in and paid for my drink. I sit right at the end bar directly in front of her. Two of the Barista's friends came in behind me. She makes both of these guys' drinks before she even makes mine. When she finally did it took her a minute a minute. Not the first time this kind of thing is happening here. read more

So, I finally made it into this place after running the Frozen Feat 10k. Nice place to warm up! I just had an endless cup of coffee & a bagel & everything was good. There was only one girl working that day, so if there was a line sometimes it takes a bit to get a refill because they are kept behind the counter. But for $1.95 who can really complain? I sat and did work, free wifi, but for some reason my computer wouldn't connect to it. Nice place to chill and get some work done if you don't feel like being at home or office. read more

The ambiance at this coffee shop is great. There is plenty of space and seating and it's a good place to study. I had their iced mocha and really enjoyed it. You can tell that their baristas take care in making each drink. They have assorted baked goods as far as food goes. Not really any sandwiches or anything though. They also have some outdoor seating which is nice in the summer time! read more

Cross-posting from another review website as I think places like this have such redeeming value in this age of corporatized, cold, overly- commercialized, dime-a-dozen, coffee houses: I'm stuck in Devils Lake, ND, for the next 14 months and my only real salvation is that Grand Forks, just 90 minutes to the east on US Hwy 2, has a place like the Urban Stampede. It's funky in all the right ways - old building adapted for this use, a good long bar with stools and plenty of booths and tables (where one can sit for hours on end, read, work the computer, watch the locals drift in and out and have a good time, etc.), and hours (open 'til 11 PM) that are right if you want to be out late and not be relegated to sitting in a bar watching the drunks get more so. It's cozy without being stupidly pretentious slash fake. Thanks to whoever owns this place and to the young people that run it. read more

Visited while in town. Cute, charming, and good java. Wish I lived closer!

Excellent mocha and a great atmosphere. I took a bus here from the truck stop or near the interstate and it was well worth it!

Great coffee, great location, awesome study spot, and they even offer refills on your drip coffee. Yumm!
