Brownies & Coffee gelato+Coffee Chip gelato in regular size cup

A cute little gelato shop in Bend! Service was friendly and fast, you are able to try flavors before too. Got a regular size with brownies and coffee gelato and coffee chip gelato. Both were creamy, fresh, and had spot-on delicious flavors. Would highly recommend trying out or buying some of their pints!

Stopped by Bonta Gelato for an evening treat. I had the roasted strawberry and honey with the mascarpone flavors! The gelato seemed fresh with very complimentary flavors. This location is walkable downtown, but looks like they have several locations in the area. Plenty of seating available and good service!

A fairly famous, multiple location gelato place in the Redmond/Bend and surrounding Oregon areas. I got the roasted strawberry and peanut butter fudge for my flavors in the small cup ($5.75) which is a good deal given that they allowed sampling other flavors. The stracciatella was creamy and the chocolate ones were fairly good too, but I wasn't as in the mood for that versus the 2 flavors I got. The strawberry one is amazing but I didn't really taste a difference in a supposed roasted flavor, and the peanut butter one was flavorful. The gelato overall is good but the process could be a bit better since I felt and bit into several small ice chunks while a good gelato should be a smooth velvet-like consistency.

The gelato was delicious and so creamy! My favorite flavor was the mascarpone flavor - I regret not taking a pint home! The servers were very sweet and gave me a few samples of their flavors. Perfect dessert!

Absolutely love this place! The staff is always friendly and they even gave me a small cup of vanilla for my foster puppy. Every flavor I've had is delicious. If you like gelato and/or ice cream go here. It does not disappoint! I enjoy going to their window counter location in East Bend. Plenty of parking and don't need to deal with downtown.

Such a fun spot in downtown Bend. So many flavor options, and staff were nice letting us all try samples. Indoor seating. They also have dairy free sorbets. The Stracciatella flavor was so good!

This place is hands down the best gelato spot I've ever been to--and I've tried quite a few. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a rainbow of flavors and the freedom to sample as many as you want (yes, really!). The staff is super friendly and patient, even when you're torn between ten different mouthwatering options. The gelato itself? Absolutely divine. Creamy, rich, and packed with flavor. I went with rootbeer and strawberry cream, and WOW. The rootbeer tasted exactly like sipping a cold rootbeer float--nostalgic and refreshing. The strawberry cream was velvety and perfectly sweet, like summer in a scoop. And let's talk portions. Most gelato places give you a sad little scoop scraped from the bottom of the bin. Not here. They stack it high and don't skimp. You get a generous, towering serving that feels like a true treat. I loved it so much, I came back twice before leaving Bend. If you're in town and even remotely into dessert, do yourself a favor and stop by. Your taste buds will thank you.

SO GOOD! There's always a queue, but it goes by quick. Bonta gelato IS THE SPOT for your gelato fix. Not only is their gelato creamy with the right level of sweetness, but they have incredible flavors too. Feel free to sample a few flavors before you take your pick. My favorites were Lavender and Stracciatella. Lavender is dairy free and blended with coconut milk. Located in downtown Bend, this is a must stop!

This gelato spot is always crowded and my mom and I decided to check it out tonight. The employees were really friendly and let you try as many flavors as you want. The mascarpone was my favorite-so creamy and milky, really good. They had a ton of other flavors too like roasted strawberry, coffee brownie, lime curd, and more. Some tables inside to sit. If you like gelato this spot was very high high quality.

I really liked their salted chocolate gelato. The peanut butter fudge was ok. The waffle cone was also a little too wafer -y for me and not as fresh.

Very authentic flavors and rich texture. Even the non-dairy options were very smooth and rich! THE WAIT A 5-10 minute wait on Wednesday 7/3 at at 7:30pm. The line was to the end of the store. By the time we left around 8:15, the line had crossed the alleyway next to Bonta. Salted Chocolate - 4.5 stars. Loved this, rich, subtlely salted. Roasted Strawberry & Honey - 4 stars. Really could taste the genuine strawberry flavor. Orange Cream - 4 stars. Quite literally tasted like creamsicles! Lemon Sorbetto - 4 stars. Quite rich, if you ate this it wouldn't be obvious it's dairy-free. Lavender - 3.5 stars. A little on the sweet side. Brownies & Coffee - 4.5 stars Coffee Chip - 4.5 stars. If you want more refreshing coffee flavor, this is a little better than Brownies & Coffee.

Steve A.

Absolutely worth the hype. The lines can be a crazy long, but I think its the most flavorful gelato you will find in Bend. Street parking. Prepare to wait in line. Thank me later!

Do you offer samples for the indecisive?? ;)

As many as you would like! Try the whole case if you would like. Enjoy!

Do you guys have any vegan options?

We do! We always have a minimum of four vegan options, but sometimes up to seven. We use organic coconut milk and have water-based sorbettos. We are also looking at making some new oat milk flavors.

Absolutely phenomenal! Hands down, one of the best affogatos I've ever had--and that includes ones…read moreI've tried in Italy. I highly recommend pairing the honey lavender gelato with a shot of espresso--it's a flavor combination that's both bold and beautifully balanced. The shop itself is a candy lover's dream, packed with unique and nostalgic treats from around the world. Every corner offers a fun surprise. You can truly feel the joy and passion behind it--the owner created this place simply because he thought it would be fun, and it absolutely is! Top-notch service, an endless selection of global sweets, and the most delicious affogato I've tasted in years. This place is a must-visit!

Cravin's in Bend is the perfect candy store. I wandered in and was draw to the two dozen bulk candy…read moretubes, I looked down to find one of my favorite "sweets store staples": ziplock bags of bulk candy; in went the sour mini cola bottles. Then I wandered past epic niche character candies like Krabby Patties, Red Fox Animal Poo Cotton Candy, and gummy sushi setups. The back of the store amplified the original Willie Wonka movie on a big video board. The shop is stocked and tight, good that means more candy. There is ice cream and a chocolate/confections case. The girl working on the busty rainy Saturday was communicative and kind despite doing 4 things at once. This is a classic candy shop. Do you want to eat crickets? You can! But I'll settle for my colas. A Jones soda bottle cap was on the bench outside where I sat to write this review, the inside read, "you are worthy of good things." Cravin's made me believe that a little more. Thanks!
