Cute place, real good pie, will absolutely be coming back again. I got a cappuccino and the espresso wasn't sour at all, which is a problem I tend to have at a lot of coffee shops. Miigwech!

Excellent local coffee shop. Wonderful service! The staff even offered to see if they could get some fry bread going early for my husband since he hasn't had fry bread before and they have a fry bread pizza on their menu. The iced coffee I had was delicious.

Cozy coffee shop with a Great Wall of art and plenty of seating. I enjoyed the brown sugar chai latte with oat milk that I ordered to go.

Good coffee while we stopped in town. Nice to see it support the native American community don't see that often... can't speak on any pastries as we didn't buy any. I would stop again for more coffee and stories about the community.

The best part about Pow Wow is their dedication to the community: from the basics of serving quality, tasty coffee in a relaxed gathering space, to hosting art on the walls, to the pay-it-forward fund for elders and first responders. The blueberry muffins are not to be missed. I have also enjoyed the fry bread pizza during Open Streets.

Wonderful coffee, indigenous snacks and food, and an amazing art gallery next door. One thing i love about this place is that you can purchase an "elder cup" which allows folks to come in and get coffee when they might not be able to otherwise. Their work for the Native community is amazing, which is another reason to come. And super friendly folks!

Really cool little place! Im visiting from the west coast and wanted to try some local spots, and this one has been my favorite so far! The fry bread was really good, wojapi bites too. It was hot and fluffy and delicious. I got a tea latte and that was very good as well. The guy working the counter was friendly :)
