Crema's Take

Tucked inside Bismarck's Veterans Memorial Library, The Gifted Bean is a quiet, book-lined refuge where barista Christian clearly knows his craft—regulars rave about both the thoughtful coffee and hot chocolate. This family-owned spot strikes that rare balance between a serious specialty beverage destination (their Irish brownie mocha and housemade Italian sodas are standouts) and a genuinely welcoming community hub where families, students, and remote workers all find their place.

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Family friendly.

Reasonable prices, and a large variety of flavors. Their Irish brownie mocha was sweet and good. Their chocolate chip cookie was crumply and delicious. They also offer a student discount, even for students who are from out of state! Glad I stopped here on a whim.

What a nice hidden gem! It's been over a decade since I was last in the library but after learning about everything the library offers, it was time to check it out. The Gifted Bean inside the library has daily drink and food specials. The price was decent and the flavor was…
