I just went to Local Acres Marketplace for the first time and had a great experience. As soon as…read moreyou walk in the store the first thing your tempted with is a ton of local goodies from Sisters and beyond. Ton of specialty items I usually would have to trek into Newport Market for. The bakery had marionberry pies, there is a deli section, and they have organic options! Lots of fruits, veggies plus plenty of gluten free choices too. The store was really really clean with a nice atmosphere and similar aesthetic to Market of Choice but seems to provide more value and less stress. The best part was my cashier Judy! She was genuinely nice to me, I had a great customer service experience with her. She really made me feel that local true community feeling, honestly how it should be. She was so nice when I mentioned it was my first time - she truly authentically welcomed me with such a kind tone and even walked me through signing up for their points system (much better than Market of Choice coupons this actually adds up toward your grocery bill)!!! We chatted about the store and its history a bit which was cool. I walked away feeling like wow, that was a nice experience! Rare these days even in Bend. This is a sleeper hit for me and is going to be my new go to. I told her I will definitely be back and I will. Highly recommend, customer service means a lot to me and I truly had a positive experience.

Located in the same parking lot next to Trader Joe's in Oregon Bend, we decided to visit and see…read morethe items they carry and they had a huge selection of coffee products and dried fruits, flour, oats and many other items and you can purchase just the amount you want. The meat section was okay and can goods, but again no seafood section! Drinks from soda and alcohol items they carry a good variety. Besides grocery items. Parking is shared by all retailers in the shopping complex.

Sometimes it is best to let owners describe their business, as West Coast Provision owners do,…read morebecause as a customer who has been in their doors dozens of times in the last seven years, I couldn't do it better myself: "Located in Bend's Northwest Crossing neighborhood, West Coast Provisions offers a curated selection of groceries, wine, beer, prepared foods, and unique home goods and gifts, with particular focus on products from Oregon and surrounding states." CONNECTION: My husband and I lived it Bend for almost 20 years but moved away a couple of years before this delightful little store, near our Bend neighborhood, opened in roughly the latter part of 2018. But we were still in Bend multiple times a year to see my parents who lived nearby and visited regularly up through the passing of the last of them in 2024 and even through this year to take care of things at their home. We will soon make our last ever trip to Bend, our first was in 1982 so we are grieving the end of things, and one of the things we will miss is stopping in at West Coast Provisions for purchases for my mom's kitchen or for our own, or treats to share or gifts or gift cards for friends and family. Every time we were in we found something to purchase. SERVICE: People working here were always congenial, if not warm, and questions were always answered. And except for right after the local high school let out for the day, it was never very crowded. Maybe that was also because we chose the timing to avoid crowds because having lived in and visited Bend for so many years, we knew when those crowded times were more likely to be. $: Prices are premium here and so know that going in. You are paying for convenience and uniqueness. Newport Avenue Market, the independent and employee owned full service grocer just a few blocks from this one is our favorite of all grocery markets of anyplace we've lived and West Coast Provisions doesn't compete with that. But it is lovely little shop for what it is. TIP - SATURDAY FARMER'S MARKET: The NW Crossing Farmer's Market (a good one) is on Saturday mornings in Market Season and on this same street. PARKING: On street parallel parking and street parking can be hard to come by with Sparrow Bakery directly across the street and a popular burger joint next door. There is also a small lot behind the building. ACCESSIBILTY: Level in from sidewalk, all on one floor, ample clear floor space in aisles and at register. ADA marked parking behind the building, I think. COFFEE AND GOODIES: If you're hankering for a Sparrow ocean roll and the line is too long, this market sometimes has ocean rolls in the store along with goodies from other local bakeries. And the sell good coffee by the cup. WINE TASTING: For such a small store there is an impressive array of wines and they host a curated tasted once a month (I think). Check with them to learn more.

I was in the area to try an ocean roll at the Sparrow but they had run out. As we were walking…read morearound town we stopped in this cute shop and they had one ocean roll left that they got from The Sparrow Bakery! I was so excited to try it! They also have a lot of fun items, some fresh, some frozen - like a little neighborhood market but more expensive. I got the viral gem candy, an ocean roll, some hot sauce, and kombucha. There was only one employee working and I didn't really interact with him until we were checking out. This shop is fun to peruse if you want to grab something to take home like food or trinkets.

Billing itself as an 'international' market, Bendite Market is that to some extent. But mostly it…read moreseems to be a small neighborhood convenience store with a lot of Asian packaged goods. And it's expensive. I'd say about half the store comprises 'regular' goods - canned soups, boxed pasta, sundries, etc., with the rest being interesting instant ramen/pho, spices, teas, candies and other not-so-regular stuff. Much of which you can find far cheaper across the street at Safeway, or at least something close to it. Not everything, of course, but if the local hotel/apartment denizens need a emergency package/can of whatever, not sure why they'd not go to Safeway. Also, and I'm sure this is just a startup issue, but a lot of the goods were unpriced, either on the items or on the shelf labels. Beer, some wine, no produce, a few dairy items, a frozen treat case. Newport Market this ain't. One feature, I'm told, is that they can order anything internationally. In these days of Amazon, I'm not sure how big a draw that might constitute. But maybe. Parking at the Westside Village shopping center is already a bit of a zoo and from what I can see, many of the commercial spaces are not yet tenanted. Those folks looking to go to Banger & Brews might soon be miffed at the difficult parking. A-OK. It's different than the norm here in Bend and that's a good thing.

Its definitely a…read moreconvenience store vibe with the usual beers and staples you may need on the go, but theres a selection of some asian and middle eastern(?) Seasonings, spices and snacks. The small freezer had American snacks/quick meals for the most part. I also saw fried onion, many jars of curry paste, preserved duck eggs and chrysanthemum drink which was a surprise. I think the asian stuff they have leans more toward Chinese and Thai seasonings. I didnt see Japanese, Korean or Vietnamese items. There was also many packaged noodles. There was also asian beverages. Its a pleasant addition to Bend and I hope theyll succeed. I just wish they include more international items but perhaps theyre waiting to see what sells and what does not..

Extra kudos to Miss Melody who always goes above and beyond to make our day and even help with recipe ideas!

Finally an Asian Mart has arrived in Bend, Oregon. So we needed to check it out and yes they do carry a lot of Asian products and the staff asked if we need something they don't have they can try and bring it in. But we found lumpia wrapper 3 different types and different types of shoyu, Korea spices sauces and chili pepper flakes and a wide variety of ramens. They also carry some but not a lot of fresh produce, but they do have items that the other supermarket hardly carry like bean sprouts, and Asian vegetables. Lots of parking shared with other retailers in the same complex, but they do have stalls marked off for their customers also.

Only downside and reason why this is 4 star not 5 rating, is the Matcha tea I bought expired months ago (best by date was in June, and we are in October). Unfortunately, this was discovered after I purchased said item and open the bag. So shoppers look for the dates on whatever you are wanting to purchase. Hopefully the market can find a system to check expiration dates for all goods on regular basis, and remove those from the sales floor.

So much less…read morethan we expected, given we were fans of the guy who owns this from the days we lived in Bend and he was chef/owner of a soup food cart in downtown Bend and then owner / chef at Barrio in two downtown locations (now Bar Rio next door) as well as Shimshon for Israeli fare which started as food truck and now bricks and mortar service counter at The Grove. We expected a variety of good eats as take out options here based on the marketing materials for Bodega so braved downtown parking specifically to go here to pick up something good to eat to take with us to the house we were staying at for a few days as visitors. Here is what is described in their marketing stuff: "We prep it, you take it home, and knock the pants off your family and friends. The grab-and-go meals and grocery essentials at Bodega are inspired by our travels throughout Mexico, Spain, Israel, and the Mediterranean. .. Worth the trip downtown? Uh huh. Satisfy those mid-day hangries? Yup. Best of all, we can bottle it, box it, and you take it home. That's the beauty of Bodega. " What we found in the grab and go cold case was a few plastic containers of two kinds of salad, one of which looked as if it had been there a while. The girl at the counter didn't bother to look up from the book she was reading as we walked in or at any time to ask if she could help even though my husband and I were clearly talking about our confusion for limited options for fresh take out and wondering if we were looking in the wrong spot. Finally we interrupted her reading to ask her about it and she looked up, answering our questions and when we asked how to tell which salad was the was freshest she answered that question too. We felt very much as if we were interrupting her free time. Maybe we hit them on a bad day, Bar Rio is closed on Mondays for example, and if the options are coming from that kitchen, maybe the low inventory was due to that. But the lack of service didn't help. On the flip side, someone walked in who works at another of the downtown stores, picked up a candy bar and she and the woman behind the counter had a friendly chat about the reading material. I think if you were working downtown and popped in for something like a bag of chips (big selection for such a small space), or soda or candy bar or package of cheese this would work swell. It may even work well if you are downtown anyway on some other day but Monday when they are better stocked to grab something to take with you. But for what we expected, helpful service and good selection of take away prepared foods, we found neither. It was not a return on the effort to find downtown Bend parking to to in.
