Twenty Below Coffee Co. Fargo

The brown sugar latte is the greatest coffee drink in all the lands.

Gotta try the Nutella hot chocolate! Was by far the best hot chocolate I have ever had!

We had a American Culinary Federation meeting and Ty was extremely knowledgeable and explained about coffee brewing, bean harvest shipping and storage, and the roasting of beans. Thank you so much for a great educational program!

One top notch maple latte i treated myself with. The maple flavor really came out smooth. Also stacked on a bag of Buffalo Plaid Coffee beans onto the price. That Buffalo Plaid Coffee will hit just right every winter morning, bringing a full cup of cheer every time.

One of the best coffee shops ever! The people there are the nicest and the atmosphere is absolutely fantastic!
100% would recommend!

Honestly I am so BIG on customer service and although there were 4-5 employees behind the counter… not one greeted us when we walked in we stood there for way longer then necessary without anyone addressing us. There were no other orders ahead of us for the record! When it came to suggestions they had none… Just not a place I would ever return to. The coffee was okay and I love supporting local but I will not return to this place!

An exceptionally welcoming and comfortable environment. The moment I arrived I was greeted by the friendly staff, and they immediately struck a conversation with me while I waited for my coffee, making me feel like I belonged here. The atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect from a Fargo coffee house, friendly & warm, with comfortable seating to relax while you're here. Their coffee is superb, (mocha being my favorite), and I'm excited to continue trying more. They have created thier own unique flavors to spark interest in variety. I will definitely be making this place my regular spot to grab a hot cup of joe whenever I'm downtown.

The cappuccino was a bit burnt and the roast was a bit dark for my taste. I would maybe suggest a latte to cut some of the bitterness in the roast down.

True five stars! I always wish we were in a ten star system so I could give more 8s and 9s along the way. But, here, we have a ten! Friendly, professional, and just real good!!!

So there's this guy Plato right? And he had this idea that there are these forms, or immaterial essences. Now these essences are important, because they aren't just random mystical phenomena, no, these forms are the true forms of all matter.

Now you might be thinking: "wait, if these immaterial things are the true form of matter, than what is everything else, 'cause everything feels pretty real..."

And this is great point, and Plato says: "well, all this stuff that you can touch, that's just an imitation of the true forms. Those 'things' aren't really 'things', they are just temporarily assuming it's form"

These forms are the blueprint or script for objects as we know them. Take a common, everyday object for example, like a 17 lb wheel cheese. Now this cheese could be made out of all sorts of things, cows milk, cheese milk, or if you adopt the post-modernist lifestyle TM, even cashews. Now what makes this cheese? Even though there and probably thousands of 17 lb wheels of cheese, they are all considered to be the same thing. Plato tells us, and this is probably a quote "they all posses the essence of cheese-ness". All those beautiful circles of sweet sweet fermented dairy (or pseudo dairy), at their core reflect the form of cheese-ness, they follow its blueprint.

I suppose at this point you are wondering what this has to do with a local coffee shop. Either that or you are wondering why I took the time to write this out. I'll answer one of these questions.

Despite Platos forms not really holding up after all this time, if there was to be a coffee, that reflected the true, timeless form of good coffee, it would probably come from this place.

Kinda a long way of saying that I like the coffee here, but hey, you read this far, whose really wasted their time?
