Bought a pecan loaf by Bread Poets today (12 June) at American Fare. Poor poor quality. Absolutely no pecans. Whatever happened to 'Truth in Advertising'? Obviously will not purchase again! read more

Bread Poets Baking Company - Amazing baked goods! Searched all over for the perfect caramel rolls and I think we found them - Bakeries Near Me - Bismarck, North Dakota

See all

It's great to find a place that still values artisanship, and Bread Poets certainly lives up to their name. Biting into their warm bread is sheer poetry. In addition to the delicious breads, they also make wonderful cinnamon and pecan logs with folds of dough interlaced with delicious fillings. Most of the time when I've picked these up, they are still warm. What a treat! Honestly, there's nothing here that doesn't delight the taste buds. They also do sandwiches made from their delicious breads. Because everything is baked fresh, I recommend going early, because they often sell out. If they do, there are a few local markets that also carry their fresh baked breads as well. read more

Passing through for lunch and popped in. Glad I did! Very tasty sandwiches and soup. Friendly service and lots of folks coming in and out for their baked goods... May have to figure out a way to take some home when I leave! read more

So delicious! I got a chicken salad sandwich to eat as I left town after a conference. So good that I wanted to drive all the way back for another one. Friendly staff and many tasty varieties of sweets. I'll be back! cinnamon roll read more

The sandwich's were really tasty, and the service was phenomenal. Highly recommended to anyone in the area!

I have been a customer for a long time. It's a nice place to have a quick meal through the day. It's always busy, but rarely do you have wait long. Bread Poets is a nice addition to Bismarck. read more

I purchased a Cinnamon log at Dan's Supermarket on my way out of town. Was excited to try it. First 2 slices looked good and my son loved it. Unfortunately the rest of the loaf was completely raw in the middle. Even scrolling on Yelp, someone else posted a rave review of their sandwich with a picture, and I can see the loaf is not proofed enough, nor baked long enough. $7.99 thrown into the trash. Would never pick up anything made by this bakery again. read more

Checked out the bread at Dan's Supermarket. Was super happy to see their bread is sold there and other locations around the city and that it's fresh! But was hoping for white bread and it looked undercooked to me so didn't buy any. Was surprised to see it looked undercooked. Some of the other breads looked good though. Could be wrong about it being undercooked but thinking it would be nicer if it were browner. read more

Great food and freshly baked breads and deserts. The dickenson is a good tuna sandwich

I come here every time I'm in town visiting family, best lunch spot in Bismarck. I love the chicken salad sandwich. It has a lot in it for such a great price but you can't go wrong with any of their sandwiches. I would also recommend the caramel rolls which are really great and their loaf of multigrain bread. read more

Bread is what makes or breaks a sandwich, and this place has amazing bread. Hands down the best sandwich place I've been to. My favorite is the studebaker, the potato chips give it a satisfying crunch. The service is fast and friendly. The only downside is the sitting area. It's small and lunch time can get pretty busy. read more

We have family in ND so we're here a couple times per year. On most visits, we eat wonderful treats from Bread Poets. Today was my first time actually going in to get something myself. We got a cinnamon log, scones (these were cinnamon/chocolate but they make others) and a loaf of bread. As usual all the treats were wonderful. The inside is cute and the service is friendly. They offered us some samples too - we each had a slice of strawberry rhubarb bread. That was really good too. I'd highly recommend this place. read more

I have tried so hard to really like this place and give them a few chances but i honestly have to say I am disappointed. I live close by so I have walked over about 3-4 times and left with the same impression of them each time. The lay out in this restaurant is horrible, during lunch time you don't know who has been helped or who needs to order. Customer service here is terrible, I had questions about whether something had nuts in it or not and the response was "I don't know" I'm sorry but this is a serious question as its life threatening to me. Wouldn't you go ask someone else??? I mean come on, are you that lazy you can't walk 5 ft and ask whoever baked it? Another thing that annoys me is they are always sold out of the bread/cookie of the day, I can understand this would be expected by late afternoon but this has been before noon. Wouldn't this be a clue to step up your production? Why would you sample something that you are sold out of, kind of seems to me you guys clearly don't understand the concept of running a business. The sandwiches here are just ok, nothing special. I hate places that don't understand what a combo is. How hard would it be to offer customers a sandwich, chips and a drink or even include a pickle with sandwiches. Due to the lack of customer service and friendliness I am not sure I'll return or recommend this place to others. It's sad because I gave you three chances and I'm tired of expecting it to be a great experience. read more

Another Bismarck gem! Came for lunch and got a delicious turkey sandwich with green apples on it - totally refreshing and surprising. It's located in what looks like an industrial side street - on street parking is tight and the front of the building doesn't stand out much. Thinking this might be on purpose - most customers were definitely locals. Creative variety of sandwiches on homemade breads - they also sell loaves of home made bread/baked goods. Our neighboring table was raving about the soup as well. Didn't try any cookies or pastries...but just might the next time! read more

Bread Poets Baking Company - a sandwich with sprouts and tomatoes - Bakeries Near Me - Bismarck, North Dakota

I really want to like this place. It's close, so I can walk there. It smells great. What they offer sounds good. Pictures look good. Both times I've stopped by, however, it's been well before noon, and the bread of the day/cookie of the day is gone, sold out, none left. The other part that was a turn off--how disorganized it felt. People were just standing around with no way to differentiate who had ordered and who had not. The board was not updated, and the bread racks were mostly empty. The one time I did get something to try it was a piano cookie. The only reason that this happened was that another customer had called and placed two on hold to pick up. For some reason the staff interpreted this to mean two dozen, when it was fairly clear that the customer wanted two cookies. No big deal...we bought two as well. Since a piano cookie isn't a standard pastry item, I asked what was in it. I got a blank stare and a trailing, "umm....". I also asked if there were nuts in it. Again, the person helping me wasn't sure. The cookie was good, I guess, but mostly unremarkable. For some reason, I still really want to like this place. Maybe it's because there is almost no bakery competition in this town. I've decided that maybe I'm just getting there too late. Hopefully if I show up at opening there will be an ample selection. Fingers crossed! read more

I just phone this place to get help with delivery and their website says a baking company with delivery, So I thought I could order a dessert to be delivered, but the lady on phone was NOT helpful at all and after I asked for help she hung up. I am wondering what kind of business they are looking for clearly NOT customer service business. read more

I am never let down with the bread/sandwiches here! The only downside is the size of the space - it makes it difficult to sit down and eat.

Great bread! I have tried their multigrain, different scones and cinnamon log and all are great but not quite excellent. I was told to come at 8:00AM when the bread is fresh out the oven. Maybe then I will upgrade to 5 stars. I wish they had better coffee to go with the bread but in all fairness, they are a bakery, not a coffee shop. read more

Such delicious food with great service! Love the Elliot and their cookies are amazing! Definitely recommend eating here.

Best bakery & sandwich shop in town! Ingredients fresh with bread baked onsite. Their pecan roll is a favorite of mine.

What a delightful place. It has a friendly feel, and the bread and sandwiches are fabulous!

Only place to buy fresh baked bread, whether you're looking for hearty, wonderful loaves of whole wheat, or delicious cinnamon pecan logs or cookies. Yum!! read more
