My husband and I went today for brunch and were seated outside, we ordered and were really looking forward to our meal. The coffees came out and the order was wrong- no big deal they fixed it. We waited about an hour and still hadn't gotten our food, my husband went inside to check and it turns out the order was never put into the kitchen! The restaurant wasn't even that busy so I'm not sure what happened. We paid for the coffees and left. Very disappointed. read more

Papillon was fabtastic! We highly recommend the Tajin . The chef is froqm Morocco and uses his mother's recipes with an updated twist.

Papillon offers lovely ambiance and outstanding Moroccan cuisine! We had the a five salad starter called Chlada Khamsa which was the perfect combination of smoky, savory, and sweet. It was served with the fluffiest, softest, warm pita I've ever had. My husband had the braised lamb shank served over brown butter farro and I had the pulled lamb shoulder with couscous. The meat was so flavorful and tender, and the sides complimented the lamb perfectly. The chef and owner Kamal came by our table to thank us for coming in and tell us about a jazz club called Cellar 65 they have downstairs where they offer different cuisine experiences throughout the year. (I believe the next one coming up is Greek Night...looks amazing!) We will definitely be back soon to try some other dishes and desserts. read more

Let's talk about it!!! Good morning and let's get this day going!! Let's start with the coffee-WOW-bold and smooth. Walking into this cute spot on a corner you are greeted and this place is super inviting, with large windows letting in light and letting you sit and people watch while you enjoy their delicious coffee! I love the style and music that is playing, our server was super nice and attentive, decided to try the Duck Bastilla and shared the Mushroom Toast. While we waited we had to try the flourless chocolate cake and Apple Cinnamon Cake, warmed up along side our cup of Joe. Ok so brace yourselves for this...the starter came out and was served to us by Chef Kamal and wasn't a disappointment on the eyes, crafted so delicately on the plate. The flaky filo was a golden hue and held a beautiful song inside of the most perfectly mix savory and sweet flavor, the duck was soft and tender, leaving you just wanted MORE!! I was pleasantly impressed with the way the dish was put together, each piece like a puzzle and this was just the starter. The mushroom toast arrived and she was the Belle of the Ball at our table, the side salad is a nice refreshing addition, but this crafted piece of art was stacked and piping hot, atop was a perfectly poached egg. Starting on just a corner of this nicely toasted house made brioche canvas that held a picture of painted on creamy bean spread adorning this was a medley of mushrooms with all the right seasonings and as you devour this you get a hint of the citrus! I am beyond impressed with this spot!! Chef my hats off to you and your partner back in the kitchen, I know now that the pillows are to "catch you" when you faint after tasting this food! So good we came back!!! I salute you Chef!! Your love for this craft shows!! read more

All of the food was so flavorful, came served from the chef himself and the cocktails did not disappoint! The shrimp dish was so creamy and delish that we saved the sauce for our bastillo! Will be back! read more

They do not know how to run a business. Stood and waited to be seated forever, and we were the only people waiting to be seated. While we waited, the girl kept telling us I'll be right with you. About four parties came after us. When she finally got to us, she decided it would make more sense to see the parties after us. Because they were a party of five and we were a party of two. So you're going to make us wait for people that came after us ?? Train your staff properly. read more

perfectly cooked delicious meal highly recommend this beautiful spot Great helpful staff! read more

The food was exceptional. I had only been to the daytime Blissful Spoon version of this restaurant, and was delighted to find out that Thursdays - Saturdays they turn into Papillon, an evening restaurant with a Morrocan flair. The chef is from Morrocco and in my opinion is one of the best chefs here in Bend. His dishes demonstrate a high level of skill for the nuance of flavor and cuisine. It is rare to find such a satisfying meal here in Bend. I highly recommend it! They sometimes host special dining events at their next door Cellar 65 Speakeasy, which is adjacent to the restaurant. read more

Blissful Spoon - Papillon (evening version) is a delicious Moroccan restaurant. Highly recommended! - Bakeries Near Me - Bend, Oregon

Can I have their egg and bacon tartlet everyday? My boyfriend and I were visiting friends in Bend for the weekend from Portland. They had an appointment one morning so I decided to brave brunch alone on a Sunday and chose The Blissful Spoon. I was sat immediately and found the service throughout very attentive. The food and coffee were impressive. I want to recreate the tartlet dish at home I enjoyed it so much. Also I had an iced hazelnut americano that was spot on. I've come to find they aren't always created equal essentially because it takes more ice than you think it will need haha. Their coffee was super good and made perfectly with cream on the side. I couldn't ask for more and would definitely recommend when in Bend! read more

Very good food and coffee / chai lattes. Strong choice with lots of options right off a very cute shopping neighborhood!

I love this place!! I can never decide what to get on the menu because I want it all. read more

Amazing gluten free waffles! tried a savory and came back the next day for a sweet one

I have been wanting to check-out Blissful Spoon, but every time I think of doing so it is a Monday, and they are closed. Easter Sunday I attended an early church service and then decided to go for breakfast. A friend suggested Blissful Spoon! So off I went and arrived around 9:45, before they got busy. A lovely atmosphere, very cozy & clean with fresh flowers on the tables. My main server was Mark, but there were many hands-on attentive servers working for the good of all ... including the lovely owner Miki, whose husband is the chef. Mark was awesome from the minute I walked in; very friendly, attentive, accommodating. I ordered the appropriately named "Blissful Morning Sandwich" ... as it was for me a day of celebration. Mark accommodated my request for gluten free bread and extra arugula! The presentation, freshness, flavors were all excellent. I did choose to eat my sandwich open face with a fork & knife, savoring every bite ... along with a glass of very smooth Prosecco. The Blissful Morning sandwich consists of abundant, tender prosciutto, flavorful manchego cheese, a sunny side egg, fresh arugula, roasted red pepper aioli. All wonderfully complimenting each other. The homemade gluten free bread was delicious! Next time I will request more of the roasted red pepper aioli, as it was a bit scant, so that I couldn't truly appreciate how tasty I'm sure it is. As I was leaving I decided to peruse the scrumptious looking pastries in the bakery case, and to my absolute joy learned that everything (!) is gluten free! Oh my! I am a foodie who loves to cook healthy, with a background of restaurants, catering, culinary school; who loves to go out for coffee with my friends. What has been missing is a place where you can find a selection -if anything at all- of gluten free items. There were several customers who came in just to buy pastries to-go, and you can also buy their gluten free bread. Do call ahead for bread days. So, I am delighted to have found Blissful Spoon for this reason and more, and look forward to returning soon. Keep up the good work: delicious food and happy faces read more

Came by this shop during our quick trip to Bend. It was delicious! I came in for the pastries, and ended up grabbing some lunch here since they had some awesome looking items. The smoked salmon Benedict and the chachuka were both amazing. As for the desserts, I really enjoyed the canales. They are so good and I should have gotten a whole tray of them. The other items were also good, but the standout is the canales. Service was best, and it's very dog friendly with a great outdoor seating area. read more

Horrible service, good food for 3 of us at 1 PM on a Saturday. We never received 2 of the 3 drinks we ordered twice from our waitress. Our waitress didn't return to the table to check in, so we went up to the counter to inquire about the drinks after we'd eaten most of our food & the staff acted very surprised that we hadn't received our drinks. We told the staff not to make the drinks since we were almost finished eating. There were as many staff as patrons in the restaurant, so getting orders fulfilled shouldn't have been an issue. We paid at the counter instead of waiting for the waitress to bring the bill. We live just a few blocks away, so I was hoping to add a nearby restaurant to our options, but this experience negates that. We were one of 4 tables during the off-season. This review is intended to help the owner/manager improve their business if they are interested. We've lived in Bend for over 20 years & I'm from another tourist town, so I understand that local clientele can have higher expectations than visitors who may never return. read more

Fantastic food and drinks. Unbelievable that this stuff is gluten free. I had to ask because it tasted too good to be true. Would recommend any pastry in the case and anything else on the menu. Waffles are great. They cook the bacon crispy to perfection. A+ read more

We went to Papillon at the Blissful Spoon for our anniversary dinner. We have been wanting to try their Moroccan cuisine since they started this up. Unfortunately, our expectations were set too high. While nothing we had was bad, nothing was amazing either, and we felt it overpriced. For appetizers, we tried the Medjool Dates ($15 for 5 bacon wrapped dates) and the Fattoush salad ($14 for a small to medium sized salad), for dinner we shared the Lamb Tajine ($55) and for dessert we shared the Sticky Date Cake ($12). We enjoyed the meal but left feeling a bit disappointed. The service was good but not great, the ambiance was okay (kind of cramped and loud). Despite mentioning our anniversary when making the reservation, nothing was acknowledged during our dinner, which was also slightly disappointing. Highly doubt we will go again. (Got pictures of the appetizers, but didn't get any of the dinner or dessert). read more

I will struggle to find parking downtown just so I can get their baked goods. Amazing cookies - they make these delightful almond and chocolate crinkle cookies that are super flavorful. I've also had their other pastry items and they are excellent as well. When weather is good they will usually show up at the local farmers markets in town. read more

This review is for the Blissful Spoon vendor at the NWX farmers market. We had friends visiting from out of town and wanted to get Sparrow Bakery ocean rolls, but one of our guests is on a gluten-free diet. After a little online research, I discovered that Blissful Spoon has many gluten-free pastry options, so we popped across the street while the farmers market was going on and were pleasantly surprised to find that most, if not all of Blissful Spoon's offerings were gluten free! We tried several and were not disappointed. Delicious and mouth watering. I was especially impressed with the rose water pistachio cardamom cake. If you are looking for fabulous gluten-free breakfast options, look no further! read more

Excellent food and wonderful service. So nice, even when we showed up with a big group with kids. Great place!

Met an old Seattle friend from 20+ years ago today for brunch. She had some food allergies that were 100% attended to by the chef. He even came out to ensure her that the focaccia bread did in fact *not have gluten in it. She thought maybe it did because it was so delicious. She even bought two frozen loaves to take home with her. The waiters were all so thoughtful today and the meal super yummy. I'll see you again soon. read more

Gracious spirit permeates this light, bright and welcoming space thanks to the kind people who own this 'mom n' pop' enterprise and also the friendly people who work here. That the food is interesting and delicious makes this breakfast and lunch spot on the cusp of downtown Bend on Newport Avenue just about perfect. On our first visit at early afternoon, more story to come about that, noting the menu for breakfast and lunch contained several things that had North African influences (Merguez with du puy lentils and shakshuka - both $14 - as examples) I asked if someone in ownership was from North Africa. A woman who had a lovely Australian accent (the owner I think and that explains the Big Brekkie - $18 - dish on menu ;-) ) said the Chef spent time in Morocco. Lovely. But worry not if you are among the more standard fare eaters as they have items to tickle your taste buds too like house baked goodies (all GF), French toast, seasonal salads and French onion soup in prices ranging from roughly $5 - $18. Whatever it is that you may choose to order here, the "special sauce" is hospitality. Unlike the abundance of "YO DUDE" places in Bend, this is more "g'day mate" lovely with tables spaced to provide comfort, lots of windows and high ceilings and music at just right levels to know it there but not compete with conversation. My husband and I lived in Bend for nearly 20 years until escaping the winter snow and 4+Million (true number) annual tourist hordes, umm...visitors (sorry if this includes you, dear reader) and Blissful Spoon didn't open until after we moved. Alas. Otherwise we would have been regulars. But we still visit Bend often and this will be destination for at least one "aahhh...some" experience during each visit. A THANK YOU NOTE: Which leads to the story about our first Blissful Spoon visit I said I'd come back to. I guess my comments about this are as much thank you note to Blissful Spoon as review. My mom lived in Bend, my dad still does, and she died last summer after a grueling few months of illness and in the last six weeks of her life my husband were live in caregivers during her suffering. By the time she died I had not really been out of the house for more than five weeks and with other family woes including mentally ill family visitors, I was exhausted and emotionally fragile. A couple of days after mom's passing my husband and I played hooky from other family care responsibilities and went out for a couple of hour excursion that included a lovely meal at Blissful Spoon from which we departed feeling nourished in body and refreshed in spirit. Maybe it was that the person behind the counter when we walked in and who delivered the sandwich to share, soup, two desserts and tea could tell I wasn't tightly wrapped emotionally on that day or maybe they are this gracious to everyone always. But on that day it made all the difference to me. MENU & EATS: My understanding is all in house bakery items are gluten free. (I bought cookies to take home and they were great even for we who are not celiac and for those in the family who are.) Selections on modest sized but thoughtfully created menu include standard American, Australian, North African, French and Spanish options for omnivores, vegetarians and vegans. (If the latter, ask about some options available to adjust some menu items but not listed on it.) If your lane is huge servings in quantity over quality then this will likely not be your fit. If you're looking for quality focus, creative food and pride in ownership, you'll be home here. Soft beverages, coffee drinks, tea and I think wine and beer too. HOURS: Wed - Sun / 9a - 2:30 p. They were doing dinner and happy hour timeframe small plates on certain days for a time last year but have suspended that for now I think. ACCESSIBILITY: Level in the door and all on one level inside, ample floor space for a wheelchair user to navigate to several standard height tables it seemed to me. (I have had MS since college days so I pay attention.) One ADA parking space in the Newport entry lot near the side door of this building has ramp up access to the door. (Although each time I've been by the same car is parked in that spot so...) PARKING: A stumbling block all over the downtown Bend area but there is a very small parking lot associated with this building and shared with the building where Sen is located at the other end of the lot. read more

Very tasty creative breakfast items. Great coffee. Friendly service. A refreshing alternative!

This restaurant is awesome! Very busy on an Easter Sunday but this spot on the corner of downtown is so cute. Me and my family (especially the kids) loved the decor and hand painted mural. The menu has so many tasty options, and every dish is packed with flavor. I have unusual allergies, they accommodated very politely and deliciously, with no bland alternatives. The staff is super friendly and really knows their stuff. Definitely a place to check out! read more

Loved everything about this place. Food was delicious. Very good coffee & espresso. Very clean. Service was great - attentive but not intrusive. Nice, relaxing atmosphere. Even enjoyed the background music. My friend had the Cinnamon French Toast with Blueberry Compote. They were very accommodating with her special requests. She said it was one of the very best French Toast breakfasts she's ever had - that's saying quite a lot coming from her. The bread was delicious - definitely made the meal. The compote was heavenly. The side of fruit was fresh. The latte was perfect. I had the Blissful Morning Sandwich and an espresso. Both excellent. The pastries at the counter all looked delicious. We bought some cookies and granola to go, but haven't tried them yet. We will definitely be back to try more menu items, but these two meals will be hard to beat as favorites. read more

I have been here twice. First time I only got a pastry and coffee and there was 1 other family there. It was fine then. Today I went back. It was busy ...almost all tables were full. The wait staff seemed overwhelmed and disorganized. They brought water and took orders after about 5 min sitting. Then never came back until food was delivered. Then never came back again to refil water (both of ours were empty) or check on us. Food was tasty but oh so over priced! I got one small slice of bread with 6 shrimp and one egg for $19! It was insane! One little breakfast sausage was $6. We also got a lemon pastry that tasted like there was no sugar at all... something was very off in the taste. For $53 , I felt like it was robbery for what we got and the service . Other than gluten free options (only pro) , skip this place! read more

Very good food. We had the bacon and egg tartlet and farmhouse waffles. Friends at the same table, ordered two orders of the the berry waffles. Both meals were very good. Service was not the best. Two meals were delivered to the table and the other two meals arrived 15 minutes later, after we inquired where the food was. read more

Cute coffee and pastry shop. Small lunch menu. It was a cold and blustery day so I ordered the French Onion soup - it comes without any cheese - but it was still very tasty.

Open, spacious downtown breakfast cafe. Casual, friendly service, windows into the kitchen. I almost devoured my French toast before snapping a picture. Best. French. Toast. Ever! Seriously. I would be in vegetarian heaven if they could sub eggs for tofu, or a savory dish that was vegan. And they have Italian food to go for later. Genius! read more

My first time here. The breakfast was high quality and beautifully presented but a conservative portion and unremarkable taste. The server was initially very personable but, despite there being only two other sat tables, never checked back after serving the meal until I displayed my credit card. I ordered a cup of good coffee but didn't learn it was an Americano until overhearing the server deny the adjacent table a refill. I, instead, asked for a dry cappuccino, an accurate description of which the server stated. However, the drink I got was a wet cappuccino. The dining area was pleasing. Three separate customers were warmly greeted & chatted up as regulars. Overall, a middle-of-the-road experience. read more

Absolutely spectacular! We headed to Blissful Spoon for NYE brunch with the kiddos. This was a first time, and I knew from the moment we walked in the door it was going to be at very least a good dining experience. The space is airy, clean, warm, welcoming with beautiful murals, and artistic touches throughout. The staff was warm and welcoming. The server who greeted us at the door seemed apologetic that it would be a 15 minute wait for a table, which is really nothing at all. The Drinks: the espresso is some of the best I've ever had in a restaurant, or really coffee shop for that matter. Being a holiday weekend brunch I decided to have a hibiscus Mimosa as well. The sparkling wine used was the perfect amount of dry, with real hibiscus syrup infused and a vibrant deep red hibiscus flower in my glass. This made cocktail as gorgeous as it was delicious. The Food: Everything looks so delicious at Blissful Spoon, so ordered a lot, of course. We started with a churro French toast with Belgian chocolate dip. The churro French toast is crisp and light on the outside while being luxuriously decadent on the inside. The Belgian chocolate dip Devine. My husband ordered the Farmers Waffle, and the waffle was perfection as well as the egg on top, and the greens. I had the CHAKCHOUKA and added the Marquez Lamb. My dish was savory, rich, and uniquely amazing. The kids had the Cinnamon French toast, and we took home 5 pastries, all perfection even into the next day. I don't typically do bleached/white flour baked items, so I was ecstatic when told all the pastries are gluten free. The kids and my husband couldn't tell, other than noticing that the pastries were softer and moist compared to most in the best of ways. An important note is that all dishes are made fresh. It's not a quick dine restaurant. At the same time, it's not at all slow service. Be prepared to sit back, relax, and enjoy the experience. read more

Looking for a new spot we settled on blissful spoon. It wasn't busy on a Sunday morning and we sat right away. At first, the service was fast and friendly but we were quickly forgotten about. No water refills and we had to hunt down a missed item from 2 different employees. My waffle was delicious but my wife's Benedict was just so so. The dining area was very nice, cozy, and clean but I just don't see any reason to come back. read more
