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.
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!
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
Yes, they are great. Where else you can find Pavlova in North Dakota? I like their latke too.
So good.... Everything.... The coffee! Oh and the food is still good the next day after reheating ... very sweet people working there! Highly recommended.... Plus I got this cute little Dino as a gift! If you want to know what kind of Dino it is ... you have to ask my daughter ... she's the Dino expert not me ... there are other animals too if Dino is not your thing! You have to check it out ... the menu is simple .... There not a thousand things you have to read and decide ... especially when you are starving!!!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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
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

This cute and cozy spot is perfect for breakfast or lunch. Lots of egg dishes, bagel plates, sandwiches, soups/salads to choose from - great variety! We went with the egg bagel sandwich and the vegan lox plate shown. The Smokey carrots used instead of lox were divine!! Will definitely be back the next time I'm in town and might try some of the desserts as they looked delicious too. Don't miss out on this place! 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

Came here on an overcast morning, just looking for a quick breakfast. I decided to walk in and check this place out. I was helped quickly and decided on the Lox/Egg. Everything was flavorful and just as I'd hoped. Next time I'm in Fargo, I'll make sure to come by again. read more
