Coffee Break

Near and dear to the heart of town and a fixture along Main Avenue, Coffee Break is an intimately sized corner cafe offering patrons gourmet coffee, tea, fresh baked goods, and espresso.

The Gifted Bean Coffee House

What started out as a dream to establish a business that could support a successful working environment for the founding couple’s son, who has Down syndrome, along with others in the community with unique talents, has since come to fruition in the form of The Gifted Bean. Nestled inside downtown’s Bismarck Public Library, the cafe has plenty of tabletops perfect for playing board games, free WiFi, and a lending library where a small donation may just land you your next favorite novel.

Caribou Coffee

Considering they operate five coffee shops in Bismarck, and plenty more throughout North Dakota, you’ve probably already spotted a Caribou near you, some stores provide guests a reliable work and gathering space with tables to sit down at and stay awhile, while others are grab & go oriented. Along with mochas, lattes, and bubble teas, they’ve got toasted bagels, breakfast sandwiches, and baked treats.

From strong and smooth java to blended frappes to signature drinks like the Raspberry White Mocha and Caramelized Almond Latte, there’s a little liquid delight for everybody here. They also carry food items like fresh-baked pastries, build-your-own breakfast sandwiches with hand-cracked eggs, wraps, naan pizza, and salads.

City Brew Coffee

City Brew maintains a comfortable setting dappled with tabletops. When it comes to java, the team here carefully selects only the top 2% of beans grown around the globe, then creates distinctive blends full of flavor and aroma at their new state-of-the-art roasting facility in Kalispell, Montana.
