One of the best healthy vegan/vegetarian restaurants in bend! They offer a variety of foods such as salads, burritos, soups and smoothies. They even have gelato, grocery items and grab n go. The kale salad is so refreshing and tasty. It's huge and full of nuts, fruit and a miso dressing. The vegan chili is very good and I love the smoothies. The berry smoothie is one of my favorites! Lots of wholesome and healthy food options to satisfy any craving! read more

Healthy and delicious food options for lunch or dinner! This place never disappoints.

Really good healthy food. Even local icecream a lot gluten free. Somewhat small inside dining. But big outdoor area.

Active Culture is fantastic for a quick, healthy food option. I'm really like their acai bowls--super fresh, packed with flavor, and always hit the spot. Their wraps and smoothies are awesome too--healthy but still really tasty. What I love most is how consistent everything is. No matter when I go, the food is always on point. The atmosphere is chill and the staff is super friendly. Highly recommend if you haven't tried it yet! read more

We came here after running the Bend half marathon because it was the only place still open with some brunch options mid-afternoon. I got the açaí protein bowl, fancy toast, and a mimosa. The mimosa was so cute and I appreciate that you mix it yourself. Both food dishes were great. It's a cute spot in a residential area but super close to downtown. Staff was really friendly. I would definitely come here a lot if I lived in Bend! read more

Healthy and delicious, not to mention beautiful food presentation and a cute indoor dining space and outdoor patio (which unfortunately had snow on it during our visit). Active Culture offers fresh, organic ingredients in vegetarian and vegan options. Everything was fantastic, and I'll definitely stop by for breakfast the next time I'm in Bend. read more

Whaaaat? I haven't reviewed this place? One of my favorites in Bend. Really good Huevos Rancheros, and excellent juices and smoothies. This is where I send the hubby for a "remedy" when I am not feeling great. Instant fix. read more

They were super nice here--complete opposite of the snootiness of Chow, where I drove here from. The huevos rancheros was tasty and the cookies by Blissful Spoon were nothing short of blissful. The counter person couldn't have been friendlier. I sat outside and it was super lovely. read more

Oh man. Visiting from the CA Bay Area we happened upon this place. YELP search term was "soup." :) You cannot possibly go wrong. I thoroughly enjoyed the lentil burger and my travel companion loved the butternut squash soup and some concoction of brown rice and black beans. (and other goodies) topped with cheese. They have everything a healthy eater and drinker could possibly want. If I lived here, I'd become a regular. No doubt in my mind. Byeeeee, y'all. read more

This absolute gem was a perfect lunch spot while exploring Bend! After a week of skiing (and drinking), this cafe had tons of healthy and delicious options to feel normal again. Pictured here are the half order of huevos rancheros (breakfast potatoes are the beeeest), Simple Salad, and berry smoothie (it's the acai for me). I loved the half order size availability for the huevos. It was exactly the right size for under $10. I was definitely full, but not too full that I couldn't enjoy the entire smoothie. The salad was BIG. We both commented about how we loved the size of the bowl. Allows for ample space to mix. And the smoothie metal straw was large too! Like the size used for boba. Made enjoying this drink easy and without the struggle of trying to suck a thick smoothie through a tiny opening. This was perfection. Hit all the spots. Prices were great too! I was expecting to pay much more like $15/plate. Location-wise, this was tucked away in a neighborhood with ample outdoor seating and an enviable succulent/plant wall. read more

Great food and very healthy feeling (I don't know how healthy it actually is, but I know it has a lot of fiber because it definitely will give you the toots!). My favorite is the wholesome bowl! The Bend location is super cute and has a nice rally nice outdoor patio. Fun for kids and adults, since they have cocktails! Yum! read more

Food was AMAZING!!! I ordered the potato taco on corn tortilla and an Acai Smoothie. This was my first potato taco, it was well flavored with a unique seasoning served with salsa. The Acai smoothie had the perfect balance of flavors/fruits. Service - they had several employees, but only one cashier, so if the customers in front of you are still deciding it could be a while before you get to order. During Covid they had outdoor patio seating which is great because we stopped here during our road trip, so it is always nice to have somewhere to sit. The only disappointing thing is that they do NOT clean tables between customers. I witnessed a couple of tables where customers left and then new customers sat down. Bring your own wipes!!! Prices are reasonable. I would definitely eat here again!!!! read more

Great vegetarian restaurant! Converted from an old gas station, this unique restaurant was the perfect place for a late lunch. Parking was readily available in the parking lot and on the street. Indoor dining was closed but the patio (which extended into the parking lot) was open. The vibe was casual and relaxed. The menu highlights were posted behind the counter and the full menu was on the counter. A huge refrigerator lined one wall and was filled with all types of bottled and canned drinks. A large rotating gelato refrigerator displayed a huge selection of gelato. Along with our Pabst Blue River Beer and Drift West Water Kifer, we ordered the BBQ Burger and the Grassroots Burger. After receiving our number, we found a seat on the patio beside the children's play area. Our food was brought out to us after a brief wait. Both burgers came with tortilla chips and packaged in a recyclable cardboard container. The patties were super thick but the burger radius seemed a bit small. Surprisingly, they were very hearty and filling. I loved the BBQ Burger! The beet bbq sauce was amazing. My bf thought the Grassroots Burger was delicious. Customer service was friendly and helpful. Restrooms were available. We will definitely be back to try more tasty items on the menu. *Covid safety measure were in place. Everyone wore masks, 6' markers were located on the floor, seating was spaced and everyone kept their di read more

Paid about $40 for two burritos and a smoothie. Took about 30 mins to get the food out too. Pretty crazy. Overall the food was alright. Brown rice in the burrito wasn't seasoned, plain black beans, some cabbage, mild salsa, and some sauce that was slightly tangy. I can make a better burrito at home for probably a 10th of the cost. read more

In my short stay in Bend, I went to Active Culture 4 times and each time I had an acai protein bowl. Best I've ever had!

If you're looking for good vegan food, this is the place. I'm not vegan nor vegetarian, but for the lack of meat, this place was great! We got a breakfast burrito and the BBQ burrito and split them. The beets were a little overwhelming for me personally in the bbq burrito but the breakfast burrito with potatoes was good! If you come here with the right expectations (vegan food) you won't be disappointed! read more

Great food with healthy options. Caution parents, the kids play set outside is dangerous and needs some repair.

LOVED active culture. My friend and I were looking for delicious vegan food with a patio and found active culture on Yelp. It did not disappoint! Vegan chili was amazing - kidney beans, garbanzo beans, carrots, total deliciousness. We had two salads and they were both amazing. The detox mojito was better than I've had at any bar. They have a cute outdoor with lots of tables. All in all a fantastic lunch, highly recommend a visit. read more

Fantastic bowls and ice cream. I really recommend them if looking for a healthy lunch or afternoon snack.

One of the best gems in our town! I could eat here everyday. While most of the menu is vegan, everything on this menu is delicious!!! I'd come here everyday if I won the lottery and had money to blow on eating out. Not too hungry? Don't worry, there's an entire wall of beverages from soda to beer to kombucha to wine. And homemade dairy free shakes are the best!!! read more

I don't think you can go wrong with any of the bowls or salads here. Everything was so fresh and delicious. The flavors were expertly balanced and portions are perfect. The shop is clean and a great place to hangout outside or in. read more

if i lived closer i would go here all of the time! i'm always looking for healthy food options for the days i simply don't feel like making anything at home and this place is the epitome of that! the salads were a very generous size, presentation was beautiful, and they are full a good variety of nutritious ingredients unlike most salads you find at your typical restaurant. there are so many things i want to try on the menu, am looking forward to returning again and again whenever i find myself in bend! read more

I tried the nachos for the first time the other day. I've never had such amazing nachos! The chips are thicker so they don't get soggy as easy and there is an Indian sauce in there that is just amazing! read more

Amazing food that came out very quick! Awesome selection of beverages. Great service. Can't wait to go back.

I thoroughly enjoyed this delightful neighborhood spot that has so much to offer! There is both indoor and outdoor seating so they can accommodate a lot of people without it feeling crowded or too loud. There are refrigerated drinks and some selected local groceries to grab or select something delicious from the menu. It took a long soaking in of the menu for me to order because it all looked so delicious! Many thoughtful vegetarian items and a display of cookies at the counter! I got the nachos and a coconut milk shake. The nachos were great to split for a smaller meal and the milkshake was just the lightly sweet/authentically coconut treat I was looking for. read more

What a cool way to repurpose a drive-through/gas station/milk stand??? Came here twice, thinking I was just going to get ice cream, but was actually hungry enough for some real food. They have a creative menu, and while not cheap, it is good, wholesome food. The wait can be a little long, but it was worth it. Snagging a table could also be tricky, but people don't linger here too long. read more

Loved this place. There are a lot of things on the menu I really wanted to try. Ended up getting the wholesome bowl and it was great. Went back in for some tasty gelato, which totally hit the spot on a hot day. They have both an indoor and outdoor kids area, so that was an amazing treat. Staff were friendly, location was really handy, and we would definitely come back again. read more

We absolutely love Active Culture! The food is very flavorful with an array of options like smoothies, açaí, burritos, salad, veggie burgers, canned drinks and ice cream. They are very accustomed to specific dietary needs, so just let them know your allergies and they'll know if the sauce is something you can have. The OG sauce has no dairy FYI.

Super friendly and fast customer service. The gentleman at the front was kind, as was the gal cleaning up the patio. The food was INCREDIBLE. Large portions of delicious and fresh food. It was such a relaxing atmosphere. Parking could be a challenge during their busier times, but we went closer to closing and did not have trouble. I will definitely return here on my next trip to Bend. read more

Traveling from Boise to camp at the Pine Mountain Observatory, I only had enough time in the morning to drive to bend for a decent breakfast before coming home. I came to Yelp and found what seems to be the perfect option for me with active culture. No disappointments were found as soon as I walked in to the quaint little bistro that had seating to the left, a local beer selection to the right, and the counter you order from right when you walk in. Plus, THEY HAVE GLUTEN FREE COOKIES! I ordered my huevos rancheros and asked for some help picking out a few local beers to take back home to my brother. When the food came, I was overwhelmed by the size of the full portion and understood why I was offered a half. The food was amazing, atmosphere was great, and the help was readily present. What more could you want? read more

I am not a vegetarian or a vegan but I love good food and this place is truly outstanding. A friend recommended it while i was in Bend, so I stopped and had a coffee and some kind of breakfast bowl or burrito. Very good. Next night my family-3 of whom are mostly vegans or veggie heads-asked me about it, and 4 of us went for dinner, and everyone got a different dish, and everyone was very full and very happy! read more
