Who Moved Where in Downtown Fargo This Year: An Updated Map for Your Next Coffee or Dinner Out

"Our kitchen over there was a sardine can and I think everyone working in the back felt like sardines," Fabrizio Di Gianni told The Forum shortly before Spaghetti Western's first dinner service at its new address on Oct. 23.

The Forum described that move as going "from one end of the block to the other." That short trip fits the whole year downtown. In 2026, most of downtown Fargo's notable changes were a well-known business moving into a storefront another well-known business had just left. The names you know are still around, but many are at different addresses. If your directions are still from 2025, you could end up at a closed door a block from where you meant to go.

The short version, old address to new

• Revival Specialty Coffee Bar closed at First Avenue Market last fall. It now has the former Youngblood Coffee space at 623 2nd Ave. N.
• Babb's Coffee House left 604 Main Ave. and opened Aug. 17 in the historic Ford Building at 505 Broadway N.
• Spaghetti Western moved from 524 Broadway to 402 Broadway, which used to be Nova Supper Club and, before that, Bernbaum's.
• Teddy's, once Teddy's Eatery & Parlor on Broadway, is now Teddy's at Cellar 624 in the deLendrecie's building. That space was previously Cellar 24 and, before that, The VIP Room.
• Marge's Supper Club relocated to 210 Roberts Alley.
• Fiona's Filipino Cuisine signed a lease on the former Twenty Below Coffee space at 14 Roberts St. starting Oct. 1.

Nearly every line on that list is one business stepping into a space another business had left.

Two coffee shops closed in July, and the replacements came from inside downtown

The shuffle began with two closings. Twenty Below Coffee opened in 2014 and closed both its Fargo and Moorhead locations at the start of July. About a week later, Youngblood Coffee closed its only location after 10 years downtown, according to The Forum.

Neither storefront brought in a chain from out of town. Revival Specialty Coffee Bar took the Youngblood space at 623 2nd Ave. N. and reopened Oct. 1 after less than a year closed. Owner Hannah Blazinski-Cuhel brought back the drinks people knew and added a new food menu. As The Forum reported in late October, Revival serves espresso drinks, matcha and chai, plus bagels, avocado toast, porridge and baked goods. The hours were 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

The old Twenty Below space at 14 Roberts St. is "down a block and around the corner" from Revival, in The Forum's words. That space went to Fiona's Filipino Cuisine, the Fargo food trailer and catering business run by Fiona and Brian Rix. Their lease started Oct. 1 with cleanup and minor renovations. Fiona Rix told The Forum the café would offer "authentic Filipino food, refreshing drinks, Filipino desserts and delicacies," along with karaoke nights and space for events and gatherings. Their trailer and pop-up menu has included lumpia, steamed pork dumplings, pork barbecue skewers, ube ice cream and mango float, according to an earlier Forum profile.

So the two coffee storefronts that went dark in July went to two local businesses with existing followings: one coffee bar coming back after a closure, and one food trailer moving into a permanent space.

Babb's moved to a building it had been waiting on for five years

Babb's Coffee House has moved before. Joel and Barbara Onsurez founded it in 2002 at 315 Broadway. They had to leave that space for a redevelopment project and reopened at 604 Main Ave. in 2006, where it stayed for about 20 years.

Shawn and Misty Gibree took over the Fargo location in spring 2021. Shawn Gibree had pictured the Ford Building as a home for Babb's from the start, and that storefront sat waiting for five years. Babb's closed on Main Avenue at the end of July and opened Aug. 17 at 505 Broadway N. The building went up in 1914 and 1915 for the Ford Motor Co. as an automobile assembly and distribution facility and is now a mixed-use property.

The new shop has a different feel. Gibree told The Forum the space is much smaller than the Main Avenue shop, the parking is better, and the shop is meant to be more "business-oriented," with a quicker in-and-out visit. His point about the historic building was practical: "Unfortunately, you can't do a lot here because it's a historical building, so it took me an extra week to open."

If your Babb's habit was a long sit on Main Avenue, the Broadway shop is built for a different kind of stop. Same recipes, though: the Gibrees kept them when they took over.

Broadway's dinner spots traded rooms

The Spaghetti Western move shows the shuffle most clearly. Owners Brighid Maguire and Fabrizio Di Gianni had been making their from-scratch pastas, sauces and sausage in a tiny kitchen at 524 Broadway, the space best known as Josie's Corner. They told The Forum they had also grown tired of turning guests away, on weekends and lately even during the week.

When Nova Supper Club closed, Nova's owners asked them about taking over 402 Broadway. Di Gianni called it "a no-brainer." The new room changes four things for diners.

1. Seating. The new room holds 20 to 25 more people.
2. Drinks. Full bar service now comes to your table. There is no bar seating.
3. Menu. The owners plan to add staff and more items to the Northern Italian menu as they settle into the bigger space.
4. Hours. Valley News Live reported in late October that the restaurant was open Monday through Saturday for lunch and dinner.

The 1960s spaghetti western movie posters behind the name came along to the new walls.

Roberts Alley and the deLendrecie's building picked up the evening regulars

Two longtime evening spots moved this year, and both are now off Broadway.

Marge's Supper Club reopened in late August at 210 Roberts Alley as an adults-only supper club and bar. Owner Dan Hurder and chef Damien Shelton serve supper-club classics, updated entrees and cocktails. The Forum reported hours of 4 to 11 p.m., Thursday through Saturday. If you used to drop by Marge's on a Tuesday, check those days before you head over.

Teddy's left Broadway for the deLendrecie's building. It held a soft opening as Teddy's at Cellar 624 on July 16, during the Downtown Fargo Street Fair. The new Teddy's is in the space that was Cellar 24 and, before that, The VIP Room. Cellar 624, the partner business that hosts wine events, was moving to a different suite in the same building, according to The Forum, which has also profiled Cellar 624.

Roberts Alley also picked up a daytime stop this summer. Pivot Nutrition opened June 22 with protein shakes, caffeinated teas and protein coffees. With Marge's at 210 Roberts Alley and Fiona's planned for 14 Roberts St., this short stretch gained more new tenants this year than any other part of the shuffle.

The new names that filled in around the moves

A few downtown arrivals in 2026 were brand-new names, and they make the moves easier to work around:

• So+Lo's, 629 1st Ave. N., opened April 1 serving Icelandic-American breakfast and lunch.
• Camren's Baking Co., 12 Broadway, was open by mid-May with breads and daily soup-and-sandwich specials.
• Field & Fork Bistro moved from pop-up dinners to a lunch café inside the Plains Art Museum at 704 1st Ave. N. It held a soft opening June 4. As of July, it was open Thursday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Field & Fork followed the same path as Fiona's, going from pop-ups to a permanent home downtown.

One more storefront on Broadway

Retail joined the shuffle too. Tastee Vintage, Yann Niteka's curated vintage clothing and resale business, took on a storefront at 115 Broadway N. In September, Niteka told The Forum the target for opening was around early November. That puts a used-clothing shop on Broadway, the street where several of this year's moves happened.

Babb's old home at 604 Main Ave., where it stayed for about 20 years, is now the "former Babb's location." That storefront is the next one to watch.

Alicia Graves has a soft spot for old buildings, and the Ford Building, the deLendrecie's building and downtown's century-old storefronts are part of why she enjoys Fargo so much.
