Who knew I'd find some of my favorite beans in North Dakota?! I grab a bag of beans from nearly every roastery I visit for the first time. From here I took home bag of lightly roasted Ethiopian beans and made delicious pourovers for a month. I've had many pourovers at this point but these made some of the most memorable cups. During my visit I picked up a medium cold brew (excellent!) and avocado toast (avocado, tomato, sprouts, hemp seeds, chia seeds on multigrain bread​, $6.00). The toast was splendid. I found no browning of the avocado and the tomatoes were fresh. I do think the bread could have been toasted longer. The service was a little awkward. I waited at the counter for a solid three minutes before I finally waved down a couple baristas chatting away. This is fine, I'm a pretty patient person and I will always support building healthy relationships with coworkers. The awkward part was the blank, unresponsive stare I received from one of the girls. Like I was breaking something up. I'll be using the drive-thru if I ever find myself here again. read more

My parents and I visited on Wednesday 5/20/2026 around 9:30am, and we ordered inside. The shop was spacious with plenty of seating at the time. The workers were helpful and happy to recommend what to drink/eat, and they seemed to be enjoying their jobs. I ordered the reishi cacao , which is basically a hot chocolate for adults, with adaptogenic mushrooms instead of marshmallows (I didn't feel anything out of the ordinary after drinking it). It was lovely! My parents enjoyed their latte and drip coffee. The prices are great, especially when I don't have to spend $8 on a latte. The only thing I did not appreciate was they didn't post what the prices were in the pastry case (the labels only had what it was, not the price too). All in all, a great experience and a great variety to choose from. I'd like to go back to try their breakfast sandwiches. Accessibility: I appreciate the handicap accessible door, but wasn't able to check the bathrooms. Hours of Operation as of May 2026 M-F : 6am to 4pm Sat : 8am to 4pm Sun : closed read more

Balancing Goat Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mandan, North Dakota

Balancing Goat Coffee is such a hidden gem! Very polite and kind service.The ambiance is classy and welcoming and perfect for a chill morning or a little reset. I love the açaí bowl, banana bread oatmeal, and the BG breakfast bagel. Their wraps are also super good and can be made into salads, which I love. Everything I've tried has been delicious, and this place always hits the spot! read more

We enjoyed our stop here. Other than being very busy and struggling to find a table, the food and drinks were good.

Discovered this place via a quick google maps search. With only two reviews and both 5 stars I figured it was worth a visit. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. However, It's odd not seeing any employees wear masks which is quite different from NC. Anyways I ordered a few items and they were all delicious. I cannot wait to return to try out one of the smoothies. Be careful with that spicy mayo on that BG breakfast bagel as it has a spicy kick on the first taste but man it goes well on the bagel. read more

Balancing Goat Coffee - BG Quinoa Bowl - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mandan, North Dakota

Tried this place with my best friend. It was really good, especially considering Bismarck is mostly all franchise and chain restaurants. It was a great change from the regular ol' Starbucks. The inside is also super cute, and is a quiet place to get some things done or just relax and catch up with a friend. read more

What a great discovery! Great coffee choices, friendly staff, and the burrito wraps were just the right size - not very large but enough to keep you going without feeling sleepy. The place itself is open and mellow - I could see myself working here if I was ever back in town. read more

I've been to the balancing goat a handful of times and more times than not I have left feeling like I didn't get the quality I paid for. about a year ago I was served avocado that was as hard as a rock even though I had to pay extra for it. I decided not to go back but recently I met a friend for breakfast hoping for better. I ordered a $9 smoothie that wasn't even filled all the way, even though I saw many people with totally filled smoothies. For $9 I expect that I'm going to get a full cup like everyone else. read more

Great food and an amazing healthy option for breakfast! Portion sizes of food were just enough and there are lots of great options to try!

Absolutely yummy food! I had the Banana Bread Brown Sugar Oatmeal and the Breakfast Berries & Cream Toast and was heavenly! Very filling and flavorful! Such a fun, cute find on our travels. If I were a locale, I would visit this spot regularly! read more

Balancing Goat Coffee - Banana Bread Brown Sugar Oatmeal and the Breakfast Berries & Cream Toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mandan, North Dakota

Recommended Inside Space: Modern. Concrete, stainless steel, high open ceilings. I wouldn't say cozy. Efficient and clean. Outside Space: Nice and quiet, sheltered on the South and West by very high walls. The Interstate is to the South, maybe a mile away and it can't be heard. What can be heard on June mornings are crickets and birds. In the late afternoon the high walls to the West shade the area. Espresso: Best iced mocha East of Seattle along I-90 and I-94 and I stopped at towns every 130 miles for gas and espresso. Something different and good about the espresso they serve at balancing goat. Food: Very nice selection of pastries. The wrap was very good too. I think it was either a BLT or Club. Service: Appropriate wait time inside for either espresso or wraps. read more

Best coffee imaginable. The staff is very nice. Very calm store to relaxe, and chill, clean. As an introvert, this is very recommended.

I love this coffee place! It has a great ambiance and friendly staff. The food has consistently been very good, even when they're slammed. I've tried several different drinks, and they are all delicious. They serve one of the best chai lattes I've ever had! This place is way better than any chain coffee place. read more

Awesome coffee, the Carmel caos is one of the best coffees that we have ever tried. Try the blended version.

I found Balancing Goat Coffee by mere chance scrolling through the pages of Bismarck Magazine. I decided to give it a try but, coming from Savannah where I've been spoiled (to say the least) with quality coffee, I am not easily surprised. Balancing Goat Coffee did. Given the COVID-19, I couldn't take a look inside. I ordered an almond milk latte at their drive through-- it was both sweet and nutty without the sightless hint of burnt beans or bitterness. The second time I visited, I got their beans as well; their Brazilian Light Roast was just as delicious as the latte. I'll definitely keep buying from them. read more

We were just passing through town, but wanted a coffee & bite for the road. This lovely nook alone made us want to come back to Bismarck. A friendly, warm & environmentally conscious crew and space offered a peaceful start to this leg of our cross-country journey. Fancy or 'straight-up' morning joes and YUMMY food -- we were a happy car with happy bellies that day. We'll be sure to stop on our way back! read more

Order to go - Chicken Cobb bowl, southwest chicken bowl and avocado toast. Everything was super fresh and delicious. Unfortunately, the lobby is temporarily closed which is really comfortable and spacious. Definitely be back. read more

The BG salad is truly phenomenal!! It is my go to salad when we're out and about and need some quick- smoothies are also amazing! I LOVE their espresso as well. I typically just get a cold brew or an iced americano both black, always good, always consistent. I've always had great friendly service! read more

The Italian Sodas don't have any any flavor. It's straight up carbonated water. Only used 1 tea bag for a London Fog when most places use 2. The staff is very nice and friendly though. And the Strawberry cheese danish is so yummy. read more

I'm into a good specialty espresso coffee experience. Although the food looked good, the coffee was not up to par. Not horrible if you just want caffeine, looking to sit inside, but loud music turned me off. read more

A great spot to grab coffee or sit down for a quick bite style breakfast. Right off the Interstate 94 for easy access and had a drive through! I had the breakfast jack burrito which had bacon, eggs, spinach, and of course pepper jack cheese and a latte to drink. They were roasting beans while I was there and would highly recommend! read more

The coffee was pretty good but the service was abrasive at best. I felt like I was interrupting a romance as I waited for the baristas to stop flirting for a moment to take my order, then found myself under the hateful glare of a cashier for the next 4 minutes while I waited for my order. read more

This is my favorite local spot. I often hit their drive-through and order up a large caramel macchiato and a scone. I just can't seem to leave without the scone! read more

Love their delicious coffee and good mix of filling or healthy options as well as treats. Seems like a comfortable place to work or study and I'd love to attend a yoga class read more

This is my favorite coffee shop probably in the nation! I go multiple times a week and I get their signature White Mocha Vanilla Bliss every time! I love the vibe, the owner and all the employees are so friendly and welcoming! 10/10 would recommend read more
