"The secret haven of mine located in the Veteran's Memorial Library is a quiet getaway from the bustle of downtown Bismarck. The Gifted Bean is a sweet little coffee house that is surrounded by books. Need I say more? They have homemade sandwiches, soup, and healthy and not so healthy munchies. a good variety of caffeine drinks and non caffeine options. A must do downtown if you want a quiet place to unwind. Great atmosphere!"

"Stopped in to this super cute coffee place in the library! It did not disappoint. I ordered an iced latte and was able to chat a bit with Christian about his love for hot chocolate, cherry flavored things, and ghost hunting! Matt made my delicious drink and everything was perfect! I was in ND traveling for work and happened upon this shop by google search and I am very glad I did! Swing in and enjoy a delicious coffee, some books, and ask Christian about his ghost hunting! An incredible experience!!!!!"

"I absolutely love going to the Gifted Bean. They have a great coffee, Italian Soda, and tea selection. Family owned and operated, they offer wonderful service, excellent music (especially the classic rock), and a great environment to either enjoy a good book or have a great conversation. I highly recommend you stop by during their lunch hour and try their Reuben."

"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 great!"

"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."
