The Ember Coffeehouse

This is the coffee place in town. Great cortado. Cut just enough to take away the acidity with the right smoothness. I would’ve preferred a darker roast. Still very good including the cappuccino. Nice cleaner with soda water which a lot of places omit. Lots of upper floor seating if you’re looking to study or meet. Main floor is open as well. Nice bar seating if you just want to watch the downtown scenery go by. Overall, an inviting and relaxing place.

Great cortado and a very friendly owner. Fair warning: the shop supports a church — something I didn’t realize and wasn’t thrilled to learn, so I’m docking a star. If you prefer not to support a church-affiliated business, this may not be the spot for you. The cortado itself is truly excellent.

This place doesn't settle for any ingredients; they use local farmer honey, ceremonial grade Matcha tea, high quality syrups and coffee, and wonderful milk options. They also have a variety of baked sweets. The croissant looked really appetizing, but another customer took that last piece. I came here as a volunteer only. But my experience was wonderful. Spent 5 hours at this place, it went by like minutes. Andy, Taylor, and Tristan were so welcoming for both us volunteers and every customer that came that day. Don't forget to punch your loyalty card after ordering; those visits do add up eventually to your free drink of your choice!

Very nice coffee place in downtown Grand Forks. Our servers were very friendly and welcoming. The caramel cookie butter latte was excellent (iced or hot). Highly recommend.

I come here about once every week my favorite coffee spot in town. "The Aviator" Is my go to hot or iced depends if you want to drink it in less than a city block or not.
