    I also come to this little cafe/bookstore on every trip to Bend as well. I love the whole vibe, the people and browsing through all the books.

    I was visiting from out of town with a girlfriend of mine, and we both absolutely love to read. I had seen Dudley's on TikTok and knew we had to stop by this bookshop. Upon walking in, it had verifiably cozy vibes with its warm wood tones and cute decor. The books were lined along the walls, as well as the center, and behind that was a coffee and tea counter complete with a complimentary water station. The stairs to the second story have a book spine painted on each one, such a beautiful labor of love. And upon reaching the second story, impactful quotes lined the walls in chalkboards and posters. There are lots of little nooks and crannies up there in which to cozy up with a book with its open floor plan, bright large windows, and lush houseplants. There were a lot of people at tables studying and discussing, and you could tell this place is an often frequented and beloved gem.

    A friendly, welcoming bookstore in the middle of downtown. I love bookstores. Yes, you can buy books on Amazon but nothing beats walking around, seeing staff-recommended books, discovering new genres that you never ventured into before. They have both of and new books. They have some seating space upstairs where people seem to be working/studying and a cafe downstairs. As you can see from all the pictures, the decor is cute and reminiscent of old bookstores. If you're a lover of books, you'd enjoy this place.

    I'm from Nashville and had heard about this cozy place from my sister in law. I was craving some alone time after being trapped in the house for a few days and this turned out to be my favorite coffee shop that I had been to in a long time. The book store has the most unique selection of titles, and the tables are nestled right up along side the shelves. It's an intimate atmosphere with a low key social vibe, unless you want to be left in a world of your own while enjoying the space. I ordered a chai latte (dirty) and the spices were amazing. Honestly I didn't expect much, but being new to the mountain area I had heard that Oregon coffee shops are to be taken very seriously. I got my drink and walked up the beautifully painted steps, with book titles on each one, and admired the story books and topical sections as a wanderer my way towards the seating upstairs. The store was quiet with an understanding of being allowed to loiter for hours or work on a class assignment. As a writer, I was enthralled by the opportunity to people watch. The seating was eclectic but I found my table of choice and set up. When I finally tasted my coffee drink, a wave of pure delight swept over me and nothing else mattered in that moment. By far and hands down, the best chai latte I've ever experienced. The shop got crowded at times which was a distraction but not as much as it should be because everyone was enjoying the moment and there seemed to be a festive vibe in the air. My only regret is that I didn't stay very long and I didn't get to come back before returning to Nashville. It if I lived in Bend Oregon I would find myself there about every other day.

    Dudley's is a wonderful place to meet up with friends and have a cuppa. It's comfortable, cozy, with a great vibe.

    Can you bring your dog?

    Hi Susanne, because we serve food and drinks and due to Health Code rules, we are only allowed to have service animals in the shop. I wish we could be more European about it... sorry.
