“ This might be the most beautiful coffee shop I have ever been. It has a huge backyard by the river and a lot of indoor seating too. It serves fresh baked items from Sparrow bakery. We got dirty hippie, oat cappuccino and a poblano sandwich from sparrow. Both the coffee orders were immaculate and crisp. The sandwich was phenomenal. We might just come to Bend again for this coffee shop and glad we could visit. ”
“ We love this coffee shop in downtown Bend and the staff is always friendly and engaging. Try their Killer Bee latte - it’s so good! Seating is available indoors and during the spring/summer we love to enjoy the outdoor seating overlooking the river while enjoying good conversation, coffee, and a bite to eat with our clients. ”
“ Nice garden to sit outside and enjoy coffee and fresh baked delicacies. Ordering at the window up front, but when you walk to the back, there are picknick tables in the garden that stretches all the way to the river. The espresso is really good and so are their smoothies. ”
“ A fantastic little coffee shop with excellent espresso options as well as some very interesting specials. The cinnamon bun we tired was delicious too! Staff were all great and the riverside seating in the garden was a big plus! ”
“ Went here today to get their new winter coffee specials. Always amazing in every seasonal coffee they have. We got helped by Rachel and Chelsea. They are beyond friendly and what makes me come back to this place. We even asked her to get creative and try to make a dog with the foam! She didn't it!!!! Soooo freaking amazing! We all know Bend is a dog friendly area, but now you can get a picture of a dog in your coffee. She said it kind of looks like a bear... i say pug. Bahahah! Loved it!!! ”
“ I haven't been in years and it was great today. They have vegan gluten free pastries. The espresso was very good. The half shade, half sun back lawn on the Deschutes River is great. Ample seating. ADA, kid, and dog friendly (though we did not use a restroom so cannot speak to that). I will be bringing my young child there over and over. Order at the window then walk inside for a seat or walk through the building to go down the steps to the back, or you can go down the side path outside to the left to go to the back with any wheeled personal transportation devices like strollers or wheel chairs. ”
“ Is this...heaven? No, it's a just a coffee shop. But tell that to the birds and trees and views of the river and park. This was our first time visiting and it has definitely left a mark. The shop is cute and, when the weather is nice, the backyard is pretty amazing. The coffee was great as well! We had the Velvet Elvis (white chocolate and caramel) and it was heavenly as well. ”
“ Had the breakfast Burrito-delicious. The velvet Elvis coffee was great. Friendly staff. ”
