We had a yummy dinner just a couple doors down on NW Newport Ave, then decided to top it off with a…read moretreat from Cuppa Yo Frozen Yogurt. You dispense your choices of yogurt into the cup or cone and then add toppings. They have several flavors of frozen yogurt and a bunch of toppings to add if you so desire. If you have any questions, the staff is able to assist in making decisions or answering questions. Price is by weight, so choose wisely unless you truly want to splurge on a sweet treat. Store is very clean and well maintained. Items are labeled and displays can be read from a distance. This must be a local favorite as it was rather busy when we walked in.

The selection is large and the person working the store at the time was friendly and helpful.read more

There were a variety of flavors to choose from, including an interesting coconut toffee flavor. I ended up getting a black cherry flavor, and my husband had a sundae with bourbon fudge and chocolate brownie flavors which were pretty rich tasting. My black cherry was more refreshing. The fudge and chocolate prices were a little high, but good quality ingredients aren't cheap anymore. There was a decent amount of seating inside with a cute atmosphere.

Oh man, they've got it all - ice cream, fudge, coffee drinks, etc. They have options for individuals with df and gf allergies, as well as vegans, which is happy! Something for everyone!! I had a root beer float, something I haven't had since I was a kid, and it brought me so much joy. They use an Oregon-based root beer to make the float which made it extra special and tasty. I can't recommend swinging by enough!

It was super clean and tidy which was pretty impressive especially for a holiday weekend day. We took 8 kids there and they all left really happy with their selections. Some of our younger kids (7-8 yrs old) needed help reaching the candy that was higher. The only draw back is the price, it can get expensive very quickly. Overall it was a great experience and we would visit this candy shop again in the future. Rating would be 4.25.

I'm talking a big one, with lots of variety, old school candies, and not fancy/expensive. Lo' and behold, Candy Corral in Sisters is the best one I've found. It's an entire store dedicated to candy - they have most all the kinds of candy I could think of, and the prices were fair. Staff were also super friendly. Location is right on the main drag and the store itself is cute, fitting into the vintage western theme of the town. We'll definitely be back.

Boba Tea Bend, a small blue boba cart in a random parking lot, is one of the very few boba shops in…read moreBend. I wasn't expecting much but reviews indicated this to be the best boba around. When we arrived, it was absolutely pouring, with the wind blowing the rain sideways so the tiny overhang in front didn't provide much protection. Classic Milk Tea, 50% Sweet ($7) - The milk tea tastes like it is made from powder, although they do sell black and green tea without creamer, so I'm a little confused. Perhaps those are powder too? The drink is pretty thick with a lot of body and it has a harsher kind of sweetness that is too sweet for me even at half. While I prefer fresh brewed tea, powdered milk tea has come a long way through the years, and this one isn't bad at all. In fact, there's a certain brand of powdered milk tea that I'd drink over a lot of boba shops. The drink comes with boba. It's a little on the firm side, so the bounce and chew are a bit lacking. The pearls are all different sizes and have a softer velvet-like layer on the exterior, indicating some kind of sugar soak. They aren't very sweet compared to the drink, though. Milk Tea Rating: 3.5/5 Boba Rating: 3.5/5 For being in a small city without much of a boba presence, Boba Tea Bend scratches the itch. It's certainly not stellar, but it does in a pinch.

A friend introduced us to Bend Cookie Company delights when she brought us a bag of their oatmeal…read morecookies "just because". She's something of a cookie aficionado and thought they were great. We think she's right! We'd indulge in Bend Cookie Company (BCC) delights once in a while and buy them at Newport Avenue Market (our favorite independent neighborhood grocer). Then serendipity! Mom and daughter owners now have the booth right next to Bonta Natural Artisan Gelato at the NW Crossing Farmers Market (Sat 10 - 2). It makes it very easy to pick up a bag to go, as we did last Saturday with Snickerdoodles to tuck into a picnic basket to introduce friends to Bend Cookie Company treats this week. (I report, with mixed emotions, that while I have been making great Snickerdoodles since I was eleven years old, the Bend Cookie Company's version is greater!) BCC's original claim to fame comes from their shaped, beautifully iced and decorated sugar cookies, suitable for about any custom occasion like for wedding favors, or for baby showers, or to celebrate birthdays or graduations. Or as a business gifts. Come to think of it, that's a great idea! We just had delivered some pretty spendy patio furniture and the place we bought it from included four plastic glasses with their logo on them. Ha! Think how much more impressive it would have been to get a nice box of "thank you" Bend Cookie Company cookies to enjoy with iced tea while sitting in the new furniture! ;-) BCC also makes the drop cookies we prefer like the aforementioned Snickerdoodle. Or cranberry cinammon. Or toasted pecan and toffee. To name just a few. Sometimes a wonderful, home baked, buttery and just sweet enough cookie is just the ticket. And with Bend Cookie Company's help, you don't even have to get out a bowl or turn on your oven. How sweet is THAT? BCC cookies are available not only at Newport Market, but at the NWX Farmers Market and by mail order too. Plus we hear they may deliver locally. (Worth a call to ask.) What diet?
