They had a variety of drinks available in the fridge next to the cashier, and some cupcakes on display (including a dog friendly "pupcake"). Visually the cupcakes were nothing extraordinary yet still appealing, the toasted coconut one more so in my opinion. And although taste wise they weren't bad by any means, I can't help but feel a little underwhelmed for the price as I've had better cupcakes that cost the same.

But, this does add to your wait time if you didn't call ahead. Be prepared! The gals will take your order and then have to frost every single cupcake. I got Valentines sprinkles for no extra charge. They were so pretty! As for taste the cupcakes were moist and tasted great. There is a lot of frosting and it is pretty sweet, even the cream cheese one. I love the variety of cupcakes: snicker doodle, lemon poppyseed, lemon, passion fruit, red velvet and several more! Lots of frosting choices too, Oreo, fireball whiskey, orange, to name a few! They also sell gluten free cupcakes but they will be frozen unless you order ahead of time. Mini cupcakes are only available by ordering a day ahead of time. They also have 3 flavors of pre made cakes you can buy. As an aside, when I was there, a lady was very upset about something with her order and I saw the owner(?)Come out and talk to her and gave her a refund! I was amazed by this customer service! Now Gourmet cupcakes are only for special occasions for me because of the cost, but this store has a happy hour from 5p-6p where it's buy a cupcake get one free! That means $2.50 for 2!!! Perfect for dessert!

We should all know that Ida's has amazing cupcakes by now…read more I just recently discovered that they do wedding cakes as well! The staff was super helpful in getting us set up with a tasting box, with multiple cupcakes & frostings, to try as many combinations as we pleased. They were able to deliver the two-tiered cake & the cupcakes we ordered without any problems & even had cake display plates available. The cake was amazing & guests were excited to take home some extra cupcakes (you always have to order extra cupcakes, right!?). I would definitely recommend Ida's Too to anyone planning a wedding, or other event. Thanks Ida's!!

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.

I lived in Bend for 20 years before departing in 2014 and still visit often given my aged dad lives…read morethere and having heard about Farmhouse hand made pies being sold at the Northwest Crossing Saturday Farmers Market starting sometime after my "Bend exit date" I was sad I could never make it there to pick one up during my visits. Then I learned the pies are sometimes available at Central Oregon Locavore and so on a lark last Thursday when I was in town I popped into Locavore late in the afternoon and as serendipity would have it the Farmhouse Pies had just been dropped off. We chose the Maple Pumpkin (other flavors that day were Triple Berry, Apple and Pear Ginger Crumble) and it was delightful for flavor of filling and butter pastry crust too. A bit more rustic in appearance than I expected, that too was delightful, and it was perfect size for six slices. We are eager to try more on future visits. As "pro tip" note Farmhouse Pies is taking Thanksgiving orders to be delivered to Locavore for pick up: "Pick up date for Thanksgiving orders will be 11/23 from 4-6 at Central Oregon Locavore. (1841 NE 3rd St, Bend)" And to order them see this link: https://farmhousepies.com/collections/all

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?

Sarah had the meal ready to go when we came in the door of our VRBO. She was wonderful to work with before and during our meal. She made great suggestions to please everyone.

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.

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.
