Boneshaker Coffee Co., a cherished gathering spot for coffee lovers in Bismarck for over two decades, is transitioning to new ownership. Charlyne Kemmesat, who established the community-centric coffee shop in 2003, has decided to pass the torch to Andrew Hershey, known locally for his FOMO 10/40 ice cream truck. Hershey plans to maintain the essence of Boneshaker, promising only minimal changes with a significant addition to the menu—ice cream. This new offering aims to blend seamlessly with the shop’s beloved coffee, enhancing the customer experience while preserving the warm, friendly atmosphere that patrons have come to adore. Kemmesat will continue her involvement as general manager, ensuring the legacy of personal connection and community she built remains intact.
