South Bismarck is set to gain a new dining establishment next week with the anticipated opening of the Rose Cafe. The cafe, owned by Maen Almherat, will be located in the Expressway Centre at 914 12th Street South. This strip mall is situated just north of the south Cash Wise store, off the Bismarck Expressway, making it a familiar location for many residents.
While an exact opening date has not yet been announced, preparations are actively underway for the Rose Cafe to begin serving patrons. Investigative reporting confirmed that Maen Almherat is the owner behind this new venture, which aims to enhance the local culinary scene in Burleigh County.
The Rose Cafe is envisioned as a "fancy cafe" that will offer a diverse menu. Patrons can expect to find a selection of crepes, various coffee drinks, fresh salads, and an assortment of sandwiches. Observations regarding the cafe's anticipated style suggest it will aim to create an ambiance that gives the "feeling of walking into a cafe in France," bringing a distinct European-inspired touch to the area.
This new business is expected to be a welcome addition for residents in South Bismarck, often referred to by locals as "Southenders." Community sentiment indicates that dining options in this part of the city have been perceived as more limited when compared to areas further north within Bismarck. The Rose Cafe's arrival, therefore, represents an expansion of local restaurant choices, addressing a noted desire for more variety in the community.
The Expressway Centre, at 914 12th Street South, is a well-known commercial hub already home to several other businesses. These include a Little Caesars Pizza, Lavish Nails, and a Dollar Tree store. The Rose Cafe will occupy one of the open suites within this established center, further diversifying the retail and dining landscape available to South Bismarck residents.
With plans to open next week, the Rose Cafe is poised to become a new local spot for those seeking breakfast, lunch, or coffee. The focus on crepes, coffee, salads, and sandwiches suggests a versatile menu designed to cater to various tastes and times of day, providing Capital Region residents with an additional choice for local dining and community gathering.
