Bearscat Bakehouse - Bismarck — Restaurant in Bismarck

I will preface this by saying thay we travel all over the country for work and that I have a major sweet tooth. When my boyfriend told me to go here n get some donuts I was a little wary. When I walked in the store and looked around I was even more scared but, I'm really glad I did because they are absolutely wonderful. You can tell they are homemade because the dough literally melts in your mouth. Donuts that are frozen and then flash fried have that "spider web" look to the dough. I've seen a lot of comments about the price but $13 for a dozen donuts is extremely reasonable. Most donut places in a metropolitan area such as Bismarck (and, yes, this place is considered metropolitan in North Dakota, lol) as well as anywhere else. Yes, you can get cheaper donuts at a supermarket because they can afford to sell their donuts for less because they sell them in bulk and they order them from a factory. That is why local businesses struggle so much and it is extremely important to buy local. You're getting a better more high quality product at $2 more a dozen. And a quarter more a donut.

Ive worked with donuts for years, and I can tell you these are Real Donuts! People need to understand that this is the ONLY place in Bismarck that MAKES donuts. If you buy from a grocery store in this city(most likely Dan's), your buying frozen-fried garbage donuts from a factory which is unacceptable if you know dough like I do. The difference is truly noticeable, from the imperfect shape, frying, frosting, and filling(none of these are a bad thing) you cant tell from a mile away they are made buy hand, at the shop. Someone like me appreciates those imperfections. The taste is of course truly far greater than lets say the Dan's garbage they sell. ~$14 a dozen is a fair price especially when they can boast they are the only shop in town. They have a fair selection and its best if you get there early, I assume they are made around 3-5 am, how it usually goes. I made this because a lot of people dont know about good donuts, well I do, and I would recommend...

I recently visited Bearscat Bakehouse in Bismarck for the first time and, unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. While the donuts themselves were good, the clear highlight of the visit, the service left much to be desired.

The staff member who assisted us was rude and impatient, despite us making it clear that we were first-time customers and unfamiliar with their offerings. Instead of being welcoming or helpful, her attitude made the ordering process uncomfortable and uninviting. I’m curious what the rush was since it wasn’t busy and we weren’t causing any issues?

Overall, the quality of the donuts is the only redeeming factor. If you’re looking for decent donuts and don’t mind unfriendly service, this place might be worth a stop. Otherwise, I hope they work on improving their customer service for...
