If you are in Grand Forks, I would highly recommend stopping both here or Urban Stampede for coffee. If you are searching for both coffee and food then Sweet Waters is by far the best! Nepali Brew is my absolute favorite, but their lattes, and cold brews are just as good. I also am an organic naturalist, so I don't usually go to places unless the ingredients are at least half good for me, and this is my go to at least twice a week if I have the funds. People on the reviews say, oh, the co-workers aren't communicative. People, communication isn't intended when you are buying products. If I don't like the product, then I will address my concerns to management. I have been in the shoes of a barista, and they have enough to do then be your server and greeter, just saying! If you are looking for community, then go to the park or go join a sporting event.
