Fargoans love food, and locals always have a favorite spot to recommend... even kiddos! We talked with Bo, a local seven-year-old who's spent her whole life in Fargo and has several restaurants she loves that other kids will love, too.

Read on to find Bo's favorite kid-friendly restaurants, why she loves them, and what she'd recommend from each.

 


 

1. Nichole's Fine Pastry

This European-style bakery and pastry shop is a kid-favorite for their delicious sweet treats (and they also serve great lunches!).

Fargo has four gourmet ice cream shops, but Silver Linings rotating flavors and cute angel wing mural give this spot the edge.

Ice cream... :)

3. Atomic Coffee

You wouldn't think coffee with kids, but Atomic has a family-friendly atmosphere with great non-caffeinated drinks and tasty food.

Why Bo says she likes it:

Because they have good food. Every coffee shop is supposed to have good food... right?

Good food.

Cream cheese wontons and sweet and sour chicken.
