I found this hidden Bismarck gem by accident while traveling for business. Immediately upon…read moreentering I was greeted by the owner, Jerry, and his wife, who were exceptionally helpful and pleasant. I am a die hard tea drinker and typically only purchase loose leaf, and they blend their own! I was given a sample of a Creme Brulee flavor that required no sweetner or enhancement, it was that good. I've read some of the other reviews about the boba, and I think this store has been given a bad rap. They no longer do the boba tea, and they are centered more on health and wellness with a large variety of loose leaf and bagged teas that have been meticulously researched by the owners. As someone who has been drinking loose leaf for a while, their prices were excellent and very competitive, especially considering the quality of product, and that everything is blended by them. Truly an all around pleasant experience and I will be sure to visit whenever I am in town, not to mention taking advantage of their online ordering. If you are a tea drinker, or just interested in the health benefits, check this place out. You won't be sorry.

I discovered this place almost 14 years ago while on travels and have been hooked ever since…read more Their seasonal teas are outstanding and super unique. I have never found anything like them anywhere near where I live so I regularly order in my favorite teas. The order always ships quickly and arrives within the week. So many teas to pick from. Love this place!

A new shop that specializes in Boba teas & Coffee and is located in the heart of Kirkwood mall. For…read morea sunday afternoon, the line stretched from the shop across the Cell core store entrance, and down to the entrance of Francescas. That alone tells you how long the Bismarck-Mandan are has been waiting for a shop like this. With the option of boba milk tea or smoothie, and adding a flavor of your choice (Taro, Mango, Strawberry, Matcha, Chocolate, Honeydew, Vanilla, Almond, Lavender, Coffee, or Red Bean) and finally choosing a topping of your choice. 3 steps to creating your own Flavorlicious drink. Drinks aren't the only think that Mama Bear has to offer, but a variety of snacks and treats. Doughnuts, cheesecakes, Macarons, various flavors of ice creams, and their apparent specialty....the Bubble waffle. You have the option of ordering your drink/food, and jumping back into your Mall adventures, or sitting down in the quiet seating area to enjoy what you have been missing for a long time. The vibes are very hip, quaint and quiet...and seemingly attractive to the younger crowd (with their [older] parents in tow). We ordered a Strawberry fruit smoothie, Strawberry boba tea with mango pearls atop, and a Taro Boba tea. This is what we have been waiting for...or at least I have. The last decent place (outside of Seattle) to serve up some Boba teas were T &Crepe of Fargo, ND. If you're in the are...and dislike the chaotic mall-life, i am sorry, because you must tolerate the monstrous chaos of the Kirkwood mall in order to reach that boba-life. Here's to Bismarck in her arrival into the new era of food eateries and shops, by way of Kirkwood Mall....Cheers -Chef Brandon Lee

We like to visit local coffee shops when traveling so we picked this one. From the outside, it…read moredoesn't look like a typical coffee shop, but the inside is just adorable! I love the industrial vibe and the cozy seating areas! The reason for my 4 stars is because of their drink and snack offerings. I asked for a cappuccino and she didn't know how to make them! Their snack/bakery items are little sacks of chips and granola bars so we were disappointed there weren't any biscotti or scones. I ended up ordering a plain cup of coffee and my husband had a caramel latte, which he said was great! This place has so much to offer and it looks quite new so hoping they add a few more food items and more espresso drink selections!

Stopped into Boneshaker on a road trip west with my partner. She had read that they had a great…read morechai, and on this road trip we are trying chais across the country and rating them for fun. We went in and ordered a 16oz soy chai to share. I used the bathroom while the barista made the drink, and it was clean, pleasant, and a single-stall room with a sink included (marked "women" or "men"). The barista was out of soy milk and so made the drink with almond milk after checking with us. There were many indoor tables and the atmosphere seemed cozy, with an outdoor picnic table near the entrance and a spacious parking lot for just this coffee shop. Boneshaker boasts over 70 specialty drinks, from "coconut cream pie" to "caramel apple". I was tempted to get something else in addition, but we stuck with sharing a medium chai. On to the chai: hands-down the best chai on this entire trip so far (from Virginia). Creamy, with a special flavor underneath that was delicious. Really loved it. One suggestion: it would be great to have gender-neutral bathrooms (just need to change the signs) and use gender-neutral language. Thanks for considering how to cater to a variety of customers.

Marie Ann's Gourmet Kitchen is one of the best places to get your baked goods in the area! I am…read morenever disappointed with the superb quality of her products! I first tried a molasses cookie at Mocha Momma's coffee shop and was hooked! It was the best molasses cookie I've ever had. Fresh, moist, and half dipped in white chocolate. I also tried a caramel krispy bar, which is a moist rice krispy bar with a soft thick layer of caramel in the middle and white chocolate with sprinkes on the top. So rich and delicious! The wrapper had Marie Ann's facebook site on it, so I looked them up. WOW!! She has quite the selection of cookies, bars, breads, brittles, cake pops, cupcakes, cheesecakes, rice krispies bars, special occasion cakes, and other yummy treats. I buy the molasses cookies on a regular basis at the coffee shop, and have also ordered cupcakes and other cookies from Marie. When I contacted her, she was very friendly, professional, and easy to work with. She also offers pickup and delivery, which is very convenient. I recently ordered a customized special occasion cake from her and it turned out better than expected, it was a cherry/vanilla bean pink ombré cake with almond buttercream frosting. It was beautiful and delicious, I loved it! I would not hesitate to order a custom cake from her again for such a special occasion. It also makes me feel good to buy from a Pride of Dakota local business. I highly recommend Marie Ann's Gourmet Kitchen!
