What a great spot! We were visiting from out of town and on our way out and decided to stop at this bakery. I swear we got almost one of everything and it was so good. Staff were all friendly and helpful. All the pastries and food we got were outstanding along with their bread. Will definitely come back to this place.

Lovely selection of goodies available here, and a very friendly staff to walk you thru the offerings. We only tried a few and would highly recommend the (seasonal) rhubarb pink peppercorn cruffin and blueberry buckwheat muffin. Prices were pretty high, but these were high quality, and right next to the river trail. Rhubarb pink peppercorn cruffin - not my first cruffin and this was a beautiful rendition - lightly sweetened, floral, bright with a spot-on pastry. Blueberry buckwheat muffin - still moist with a nice crust when enjoyed the day after. Not too sweet, a little nutty. Gochujang twist - I'm sure texture would have been much improved if heated up in the oven but the gochujang had a nice kick

I read someone's review about how this place rivaled the pastries in France- so I had to try it. I've never been to France, but I haven't had better French pastries. Oh my lanta! I got the pistachio seasonal pastry, a croissant and a monkey bread. It was all good, but the monkey bread was divine. Never had a better version. I'll dream about it for sure. Can't wait to come back!

Good choice for a super filling steak burrito that lasted most of the day. Bonus - get a loaf to go. One of life's great indulgences is fresh baked bread. Coffee was strong - like spoon stood up in it, whistle and it comes runnin to you strong so if you have reflux or a tender tummy beware.

Aside from the fact that the owner contacted me to offer to make amends for the bum loaf I got, I'm happy to upgrade my review for a number of reasons. The owners amends was very generous and the replacement Sesame Loaf I got was delicious. However, when I picked it up, I decided to try their tuna sandwich. It was amazing, and gets my vote for best tuna sandwich on the planet. Also, the staff and manager were gracious and great about the whole thing.

This place literally became my addiction while I was in town. Incredible staff, a clean location, and just delicious products. OK, let's talk pastry. The Kouign Amann is basically a croissant that has been pressed into what looks like a large muffin tin, but has vanilla sugar poured on top of it while baking. This creates a crispy sugar shell on the outside, and a soft delicate croissant dough on the inside. It's topped with a little bit of sea salt. It is just such a delightful mix of flavors and textures that I found myself absolutely loving this thing. The Marion Berry scone was absolutely wonderful. I eat a lot of scones, and one of my biggest complaint is when someone uses the wrong kind of flour and it turns into a tough scone. These guys actually knew what they were doing. The scone was crispy on the outside thanks to a sugar glaze, and soft and crumbly on the inside. It was absolutely incredible and wonderfully enjoyable. Then there was the almond croissant. This was my least favorite. While their croissant dough is good, I'm not particularly happy with the amount of almond paste, or its composure. I think this one is really hard to get right, and I'm always torn between people that put a smear like this business does, and other others that just mix it into the dough. Either way it was enjoyable, just a little different than what I would typically expect from an almond croissant. Lastly, the gluten-free sourdough. This was actually the best gluten-free sourdough I've ever eaten. Usually gluten-free bread is gummy on the inside and Baker's really struggle to get the texture right. But they absolutely nailed it. Not only was the crumb beautiful and open, but the bread didn't seem overly dense for a gluten-free bread. Don't get me wrong it was a little dense because it's gluten-free, but it was lighter than most gluten-free bread. All in all, this place has become my guilty pleasure and I look forward to going back.

Located in the Old Mill Shops area with convenient (ish) parking and easy access, owned by a young husband and wife who first met working at Four Seasons in Scottsdale and with a menu and vibe that hints in a delicious way at his home country of Mexico. We loved this little bakery when we popped in one morning to pick up take away to treat ourselves and a friend in Bend during a visit in April. Taking the time to post my comments now, in advance of our next visit this week, as sort of counterpoint to some 'foot stomping' lower starred reviews awarded because the bakery sometimes sells out of products earlier than some customers think is appropriate. Yep, that will happen a young owner run bakery when they are starting out because the closer they get to that scratch-zero inventory left at the end of the day, the better it is for their bottom line and ability to stay in business in early days. Given this brick and mortar has only been in place six months, although their wares have been available at some retailers like Market of Choice for a while before that, it seems reasonable that they are still learning how much to bake levels. I get it. GOOD EATS: There is much to enjoy here and we liked every pastry of the five kinds we took with us to share. (They make a version of Kouign Amann, a fav of ours, and may be the only place in Bend that does.) We also enjoyed the olive bread, if you want them to slice it you'll have to wait until after XX:00 because it needs to be completely cool out of the oven before they can, so we took our loaf to go. The biggest surprise is they have wonderful salads (the two we took to go easily fed three people at lunch) and we learned that when we pivtoed after the little surprise that they didn't offer sandwiches on their bread, a la Sparrow Bakery or Village Baker. If that's what you want, you'll need to hit up one of those others. And while we waited on our to go order to be packaged up and the salads to be made we also enjoyed a good cortado along with the Mexican vibe music of just the right mix for a morning visit. SERVICE: Really friendly counter service. And given the ability to see into the baking space from the front windows, it looks as if they are providing employment for several local people to participate in that craft. BEND "CRED": My husband and I started being visitors to Bend in the later 1980's, moved there in the later 1990's and lived there until ten'ish years ago when we left to escape the tourists (yes, I realize I may be talkin' to you as I type this :-) ) and winter snow that doesn't play well with the multiple sclerosis I've had since college years. But we still visit often since my parents lived there up until my dad's death last year. So we know a thing or several about Bend bakeries and we were long time fans of a couple of Bend's great ones in the day; Sparrow, which is still there and as better than ever, and Village Baker, which is still there but lost its' consistent quality and service luster when the founder / baker had to leave after a divorce. (That bakery is for sale right now, btw.) We remember both of those in their just starting out days too and when they sold out of something before we got to the counter, we did not stomp our feet. Nor would we do it here. Just sayin'. Different perspectives or different customers. SEATING: Standard height table seating that is accessible to everyone inside, also high counter seats at front window. Looked as if there might be seating at outside rear patio. LOO: There is one and it is uni. ACCESSIBILITY: ADA parking space in front of the building (more are across the street), level in from sidewalk to bakery and all on one floor inside. Loo is accessible too.

Cute cafe with great breads and pastries. Appreciate the vegan options. Very impressed they offer different grains such as the buckwheat blueberry vegan muffin

Amazing chocolate croissant and American. The staff are helpful and the music is enchanting and not overly loud! Love this plac

Great service, friendly staff! Ordered egg sandwich. Egg sandwich bread was great. Eggs were good- didn't blow my mind but I liked all the other accoutrements. I was wishing for more sauce and veggies to balance the giant amount (in a good way) of eggs. Coffee was really good.

Delicious new bakery. Tried a chocolate croissant and latte both very tasty. Not a lot of seating. I've been told arrive early if you want a pastry. Arrived 30 minutes after they opened and there was not an open seat. Very popular since its new spot. Just be prepared to not find a seat or wait for one to open up.
