the inside of a coffee shop
Natalie J.

Phenomenal amount of Monin flavors for any combination of latte, mocha or drink you want as well as delicious Big Train Chai and smoothies; locally owned coffee shop with drive thru. The blood orange coconut refresher or a chai I highly recommend.

Boneshaker Coffee in Bismarck ND

Coffee this morning and it was a strong one after an evening where I didn't sleep much. Too many chicken wings and ribs, perhaps. Anyway, I got their large dark roast with a shot of espresso in it. My bones are shaking. Nice little spot with loads of seating, quiet music (Christian? I couldn't tell) and wifi. Coffee was excellent and I enjoyed my time here drinking it before heading to work.

This local coffee stop is located right across the street from my office, so no excuse not to try them out. Glad I did. The interior is cozy. Very midwestern home in its vibe with a fireplace and lots of natural color. The menu has all the coffee shop staples, but their array of syrup (both regular and sugar-free) options was extensive. Not only that, but they also offer a ton of different types of tea. Service was quick and friendly, the coffee was smooth and tasty. I got a hot, flavored latte with skim milk and the foam was frothy and rich. Support some local business and skip Starbucks this time.

I love it when I find a terrific coffee place far from home but I hate also because I won't get to frequent it! This darling place was right by our hotel, lucky us! They had delicious hot vanilla lattes and refreshing caramel chocolate iced coffee. Plus I tried a chocolate chip cookie just to let you fellow Yelpers know how yummy it was. If you are reading this review, you are probably close by so stop reading and go get caffeinated already!

Though Boneshaker is quite large for a coffee shop with ample seating, it is really not a good place to study. Very difficult to find an outlet if you need to plug a laptop in. Most of the people in this place are visiting and chatting so it tends to get pretty loud as well. This might be ok if you're going to a socialize but isn't great for getting work done.The furniture and decor are cozy but somewhat dated. Furthermore, while I've never been overly impressed with their drinks, most recently I ordered a cold brew coffee, which was over iced and essentially tasted like coffee flavored water. Not to mention at nearly $5 it was overpriced in my opinion. Not sure that I'd be back.

Tell me, does this LOOK like extra caramel and whipped creme? supposedly a caramel big wheel... I'll stick to starbucks

See all

We had an absolutely wonderful dinner here recently. We were seated outside on the patio with our…read moredog, and able to enjoy the gorgeous sunset while we ate. The ambiance was lovely and warm with the cool evening breeze, light music in the distance and the sparkle of the sunset on the water. The overall vibe does feel a bit bourgeois but not in a bad way. You can tell they know they're very good at what they do. It seemed like most of the people here were regulars. When we first arrived there wasn't anyone at the front of house to greet us and we did have to wander around a bit before finding someone which took longer than expected and was a little awkward. It was also kind of a surprising for an establishment that is obviously sophisticated, however, once we were seated, the service was friendly, attentive and never rushed. The food was absolutely incredible. We had hoped to order the roasted onion fleishkuekle but we were advised that they were out of ingredients to prepare it. I ordered the Hasselhoffs, which were rich, comforting and packed with flavor. My mind kept telling me to eat slow and savor it, but my mouth wanted to gobble it down it was so good. It was like really elevated home cooking. My husband had the Fine Schwein, which was a braised pork dish. It was wonderfully savory and deeply flavored and was beautifully prepared and presented. He really enjoyed. We finished with a kitchen for dessert and everything we ate was outstanding. Despite the small hiccup at the start and the unavailable dish that we were hoping for, this was one of our best dining experiences in a long time. The setting the quality of the food and the overall atmosphere made for a fantastic evening for my husband and I and it is a place we would definitely return to regularly.

tl;dr the service is comically poor and the food falls flat at this riverfront neo-Nordic cocktail…read morebar Bismarck, North Dakota, was named in honor of German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, and the population has a strong German and Scandinavian background. So, it seems fitting that one of the most popular restaurants is a German- and Scandinavian-inspired cocktail bar: the Huckleberry House. Part of the Missouri Valley Heritage Alliance's riverfront revival project, the Huckleberry made its debut on the Missouri River in 2022. (The restaurant's name is a reference to Huckleberry Finn, who rafted along the Missouri in the eponymous Mark Twain novel.) Since its opening, the restaurant has become a favorite among locals, and Head Chef Cody Monson was even named a James Beard Award semi-finalist for 2025. The Huckleberry shares a riverfront post-and-beam warehouse with the Lewis and Clark Riverboat ticketing office. The minimalistic decor feels straight out of Ikea. The HVAC is left exposed toward the peaks of the soaring ceilings. The firetruck-red garage door windows and the vibrant houseplants provide the only pops of color against the otherwise whitewashed walls and lightwood furnishings. Half-booths run the length of the restaurant, flanked on either side by trim two-seaters and larger bartop tables. Woven chairs are organized underneath expansive umbrellas on the riverside patio. Soft instrumental is barely audible above the respectful din of chatter. Sunshine through the wide windows leaves the un-air-conditioned dining room feeling uncomfortably balmy. We arrived for weekday dinner, and immediately, the service was palpably poor. The staff declined to seat us in order to "pace the kitchen." Despite the nearly empty house, we weren't seated for 45 minutes, and we were over an hour in before having the opportunity to order. At least we had ample time to thoroughly review the menu beforehand -- or so we thought. Our waitress rattled off items that the kitchen was out of, and it was nearly half the menu. No matter, we quickly adapted and asked for every plate to be brought out as it was completed. Fortunately, this was only a matter of minutes (shorter, even, than the time between being seated and our order being taken). The best dish, surprisingly, was the Hasselhoffs (an elevated take on tater tot hotdish). Although the tater tots were obviously the frozen grocery store variety, they were paired with an eyebrow-raisingly dynamic combination of rich cheese sauce and tangy sauerkraut. The Buttermilk Chicken Schnitzel was passable; the overcooked chicken was at least crispy, and tasty charred cabbage helped cover up the gummy spaetzle egg noodles. The Smorbrod (a traditional open-faced sandwich in rye) had memorable soggy bread; otherwise, the beef and blue cheese were forgettable. The mashed potatoes-esque Curried Pumpkin Knoephla (German dumplings) was heavy on the curry spices and exceedingly light on the pumpkin or knoephla. One member of our party asked if the dish actually did have pumpkin, to which our waitress tried to explain that the pumpkin was kept to a minimum because patrons don't like the flavor of it (I wondered to myself why those pumpkin-hating people would order a dish with "pumpkin" in the name in the first place). Lastly, the Peachy Keen salad was topped with sliced apple instead of peaches; however, our server inexcusably neglected to tell us about this swap until after the salad had hit the table, offering little more than a shrug ("peaches are out of season right now"). In stark contrast to our extended wait for a table, our server was quick to usher us out the door. She slapped a check onto the table before we even finished our meal (without even the cursory mention of dessert). It felt as though the staff were in a hurry to close up early, even though it was just after 8PM. The prices weren't outlandish (the appetizers were all less than $20, and our entree was less than $30), but no dish was worth the price. While the ambitious fare sounded thrilling in theory, it fell flat in practice. And service was laughably unpalatable; I needed a full debrief afterward to believe what I had just experienced. Regrettably, I'd be more likely to recommend McDonald's than the Huckleberry; at least McDonald's won't take 2 hours and $100+ to serve you food that only loosely adheres to the menu description.

Anima Cucina is such a cute spot in Bismarck. I was greeted right away and seated promptly, and the…read moreservice throughout the meal was warm, friendly, and attentive. For a small restaurant, they also have an impressive wine selection. We started with the garlic bread, hot olives, and meatballs -- all of which were flavorful, balanced, and absolutely delicious. For entrées, our table had the breaded walleye, the Bolognese pasta, and the Porchetta. The walleye and Bolognese were outstanding, but unfortunately the Porchetta was a big letdown. The skin was chewy rather than crisp, with a thick layer of unrendered fat beneath it, and most concerning, it still had visible pig hair. I was expecting the classic combination of crackling skin, melting fat, and tender pork, but instead it was oddly undercooked on the outside, dry inside, and after biting into hair, I really lost my appetite for it. We finished with tiramisu and a torte, and both desserts were excellent -- a strong way to end the meal. Overall, Anima Cucina has a lot going for it: charming atmosphere, friendly staff, great starters, and standout entrées (other than the Porchetta). I'd happily return for the appetizers, pasta, fish, and desserts, but I'd avoid the Porchetta based on my experience.

Im from Kansas and live in Chicago, this place is WORTH it. Top 10 meal experience I have had in…read morethe past decade and I have eaten at 3-Star Michelin rated establishments. I rarely ever write a review but this place is deserving. The quintessential diner experience: waitress bantering with the regulars, home made pie (that you always seem to get the last slice of), perfectly brewed coffee, friendly service, and absolutely delicious food. I would eat here everyday if I could. The entire diner has an overarching feel of nostalgia wrapped in a hug in front of a fireplace? If that makes sense? The Chocolate Creme pie might have been the best piece of pie I have ever had. The soup of the day was incredible, and if you are lucky enough to get a caramel roll, I highly recommend it. The single worst part of this experience was realizing I would not be able to have it again soon as I was traveling through. But you can bet your rear end the next time I am in Bismarck, I am making a drive over to Ohm's Cafe. Arguably might the best diner in America. Food was delicious, not too greasy, homemade, full of flavor, affordable, and just exquisite. However you define this restaurant, I do not care, all I care about is making sure whatever it is, there is more of it.

I kind of understand the appeal because it's sort of like home cooking. The problem is that my…read moremother wasn't that great a cook. The food was pretty bland. The knoephla soup had a ton of knoephla swimming in sweet cream, but no potato or any other flavor. The only redeeming dish we had was the sour cream apple pie. It's not that any of it was bad... it just wasn't all that great. Although I know people who sear by it, so take my opinion with a pinch of pfeffer. Service was quick, and the server was helpful. The ambiance is VERY small town cafe.
