It's such a cute little spot, in what seems like an old home. The high ceilings just add to the coziness with greens and local art. They have indoor and outdoor seating as well. The coffee bar was staffed with friendly people. I had a giant jar of black iced cold brew, my favorite on a cool but sunny day. Prices are reasonable. They have a restroom, WiFi, and outlooks and seemed many were enjoying using it as an office.

The proportion and textures were such a great blend--not too sweet and the whole foods added that special touch. The potatoes were also licked clean as well as the mushroom gravy with biscuits and tofu scramble. The bed of arugula under those dishes gave them a wholesome boost. Our eyes and stomaches were fully satisfied. We'll be back again this week and probably get the same thing since the combo was so good though there were other enticements on the menu! The location reminded me of a food festival, and the bathrooms nearby in the main building are clean with cool industrial finishes.

We were just passing through Bend for the night on the way to Washington and looking for takeout…read morefood to eat back at our hotel. Found this place because of the killer reviews. It is located in the parking lot of a brewery that looked super cute with tons of seating both indoor and out. We got our dinners + 2 cheese plates (one for that night and one to take on our road trip). The lady that took our order didn't really like the idea that we were taking the cheese plate to go because she said they have a nice display and silverware at the brewery for it. We thought that was kind of strange, but when we ended up getting it, it was a super full box with a ton of goodies that must of been a bit of a challenge to get in the box. It probably would of been a beautiful cheese plate if we stayed there and had some beer or wine. I got the wet burrito for dinner that had griddle potatoes, smoked turtle beans, grilled mixed vegetables, roasted chilis, & caramelized onions smothered in hot enchilada sauce. I really liked it until my friend pointed out it tasted kind of like marinara and I couldn't get that out of my head. It was still good, but not the normal burrito taste. My friend got the fried rice and liked it, but thought it was better for breakfast.

I'd probably wait for indoor seating next time. Waitress was super nice and good at her job. My friend got the spinach and feta frittata with bacon folded in and it was really good. I'm glad she let me try a bite. Super flavorful. I couldn't pass up gluten free French toast. It was pretty good. I realize now I should have asked for a side of the berry sauce so each bite was more saucy. And I added a side of chicken sausage for blood sugar stabilization. It came with I think hollandaise? I enjoyed dipping that.

Then we met a couple and they highly recommended the restaurant too. This morning we rode our bikes there and enjoyed a lovely brunch. The host and server were both friendly and efficient. The other meals being served around us looked delicious. It did take a bit to get our food. We each ordered different frittatas that were equally delicious. Presentation on the plate was eye candy and enticing the tastebuds. The theme is present throughout the restaurant, even in the restrooms. There is a nice vibe. Depending on how many diners are inside and their volume level, it can get a bit loud. Overall, we had a nice experience.

tl;dr great food, tell them about all your allergies so they can modify, get gluten free pastries!…read more A tasty option for brunch or dinner with several clearly marked gluten free items. You can also customize your meal as needed. To order, you stand in line like at a food court counter, but in a fancy way. While we were there, the line stretched to the door most of the time but it moves fast. This is the time you use to choose your bottle of wine, pick food, and browse the pastries on display. There were several places to sit indoors and out after placing the order. The kids hade the garlic bites (fried balls of bread with garlic and cheese...looked like doughnut holes!) and a pizza. They can add pepperoni to a cheese pizza for the particular children in your life. My husband and I shared a Cobb salad, no croutons to make it gf (the lemon dill dressing was AMAZING! Actually, this whole salad was very good). We also intended to share the NY strip with chimichurri. However, we didn't read that it comes with bread and a side salad (great!) and roasted vegetables in romesco sauce (also great!). My husband is allergic to nuts and so he couldn't eat any. That is not a complaint...all on us! The menu is clearly marked. But be aware if you have a nut allergy to specify that you can't have the romesco sauce. Or let the order taker know, as they are informed on modifications and whatnot. So he ate the salad and done pizza. I ate most of the steak and veggies. Everything tasted really good. The steak was a bit gristly. But the chimichurri was great. My absolute favorite thing was the elote cake with tajin buttercream. It was not a sweet cake. But it was heavenly. I should have grabbed another piece before we left. It was creative and salty and delicious and I still want it two days later. Service was great. Food is brought out as it's ready, not all at once. And the side salad and bread is brought before the main dish. The people were friendly and helpful. This was a great place and I would definitely go back.

She was accommodating and really knew the menu so well. They have a special deviled egg each week and this week was a balsamic reduction and sun dried tomatoes. It was delicious! Great texture on the filling. Paired perfectly with the picketed red onion. 8.5/10 The clam chowder is some of the best clam chowder I've ever had, hands down. It's packed with so many clams and potatoes! Great depth of flavor. Perfectly creamy. It was just the cup of soup I needed on a cold day. 9/10 The PNW elk burger was not my favorite item I've ever had. Not pictured is a Marion Berry jam under the patty, and that jam was very very saucy, it ran all over the plate and soaked through the bottom bun too much to the point where the bun became mushy and fell apartment. It was too overwhelmingly sweet, I couldn't even really taste the elk. I think if it had everything else minus that jam, it could be a very successful dish. Their food is still really good, just this dish was not it for me. The restaurant is casual, and they have a bar section as well. They've got breakfast all day and they've got a great selection of beers and drinks. I would definitely come back here!! It really feels so welcoming there. It's one of those places you could really enjoy having a few friends get together.

Currently (July 2025) at the Dogwood at the Pine Shed on 2nd Street, Bend…read more Unusual menu with wings, crepes and fries. This cart has more wing styles (flavors) than any other I've seen. I opted for the Sticky Gochujang and Jamaican Jerk (six each), thinking that would provide two disparate tastes given my experiences with both. As it turned out, not so much. Both sixes of wings were well prepared and quite tasty but were also (over)loaded with sauce. I normally expect jerk wings to be dry. The Korean wings were not so much 'sticky' as drowned in sauce. Frankly, the flavors were similar. Prices are high but that's what you have to expect these days in Bend. The wings are not small as some have suggested. Fairly normal sized, I'd say. Haven't tried a crepe yet but the photos look enticing. I give this cart a thumbs up although next time I'll try the Old Bay style which friends have reported to be of the dry variety.

It was an unseasonably cool summer day when I dropped by, seeking espresso, it's my personal bar of how to rate coffee shops. Still Vibrato did not disappoint. Any decent shop worth their.. coffee.. will have at least two espresso choices on the bar on a given day, and this was the case here, a house blend and a pink bourbon single origin. I asked for one of each with a sparkling water chaser. Moving to the table, I sampled both after a sip of the sparkling water. Both were perfectly pulled, no bitterness or sourness, and both tasted great for what they sought to do: body and subtle fruit with primarily roast notes for the blend, and crisp acidity and brightness for the blend with a good citrus bite. While I didn't have any food, the vegan and gluten free options were plentiful, and the staff were friendly and helpful. If you want some straight up 'spro, this place will make you happy.
