The local scoop

The Gifted Bean Coffee House sits inside the Bismarck Veterans Memorial Public Library on North 5th Street, with coffee, teas, smoothies, sandwiches and baked goods on offer. It is run by Matt and Sandy McMerty, and the city's page describes its mission as being for their son, who has Down syndrome, and for others with unique talents.

What they're serving

  • Coffee, teas and smoothies
  • Sandwiches and baked goods
  • Wi-Fi, games and a lending library
  • Catering with 48 hours' notice

Before you head over

Look for the coffee house inside the library building on North 5th Street. The hours shown come from public listings rather than the shop's own page: Monday to Thursday 9 am to 6 pm, Friday 9 to 4, Saturday 10 to 3, closed Sunday. Phone listings disagree, so we have left the number out instead of sending you to the wrong one.
