My name is Skye, and I’m studying marketing and entrepreneurship at Minot State. I grew up in Kalispell, Montana surrounded by the mountains. Since moving to Minot for college, I’ve enjoyed exploring its activities, restaurants, and coffee shops (which might be my favorite part).
As a college student in Minot, I'm always on the hunt for a coffee shop to hang out with friends and study. These are some of my top picks for you to try.
This laid-back coffee spot is perfect for young adults to hang out, study, or take pictures with the local art and natural light. Conveniently located near Minot State, they even offer a student discount. Don’t forget to use their in-house Polaroid camera to take a photo and add it to the wall!
Skye’s Pick: Bacon breakfast sandwich on an english muffin and a caramel apple Redbull ® (perfect during fall).
They offer 12 flavors of baked-in-house bagels and 9 delicious cream cheeses to choose from, as well as bagel sandwiches and a variety of coffee and energy drinks. They have a back room with plenty of space for studying and getting together with friends.
Skye’s Pick: Parmesan bacon eggel and a blue raspberry Redbull ®.
I like to consider myself a foodie; whenever I visit new places, I like to find the hidden gems.
A true authentic Mexican restaurant. The food is amazing and the service is incredibly fast. They make most of their food in house, this includes their birria, guacamole, chorizo, and corn tortillas.
Skye’s Pick: Pollo asada without jalapeno – jalapenos are way too spicy for me.
This is the place if you are looking for something fresh and delicious. They have coffee, breads, a wide variety of pastries, crepes, and lunch sandwiches. The owner is originally from Albania and uses European-style baking techniques that she learned from her grandmother.
Skye’s Pick: London Fog (best in town) and a ham and cheese croissant.
Shopping is my go-to activity, I like to explore the farmers' market and go to the thrift stores in Minot when I'm looking for something fun to do.
We have two wonderful farmers markets, the Minot Farmers Market and the North Prairie Farmers Market. They offer a variety of items from homemade baked goods to unique crafts. I like to try the baked goods; they have fresh breads, cupcakes, cookies, conchas, and lots more.
Student life in Minot has treated me well. Thanks to the many coffee shops, restaurants, and things to do in Minot, there is never a dull moment.
