The eye exam was impressive -- they use state-of-the-art equipment that made the process quick, thorough, and comfortable. I felt confident I was getting the best possible care for my vision.

There is never any pressure, just expert guidance and a great customer experience from start to finish. I also absolutely love their recent remodel.

I did a double take, and then told the family that we had to go visit. I had kind of heard about the Last Blockbuster on Earth, but I didn't realize it was in Bend until we stumbled upon it. Before going in, I got to explain to my kids what borrowing DVDs and VHS tapes was like back in the day. I must have had the biggest smile walking into the store. Along the walls were artifacts from the past - a Blockbuster sign, a striped sign showing upcoming releases, old movie posters, and even a blocked off area that was decorated like a family room from the 90s. Of course, there were the aisles of DVDs that people could rent from. Very different from Blockbusters in the past, this store had loads of Blockbuster apparel and other souvenirs. I thought they were very reasonably priced. I got a t-shirt for $20. If you were born in the 90s or before, you have to visit for the waves of nostalgia. If you were born afterwards, this store is still a must-see as a glimpse of our not so distant past.

My experience with Riverbend Eye Care has been for optical services. Both for purchasing eyeglass…read moreframes and having eyeglasses made last year and prescription lens sunglasses this week. Had I posted a review based solely on last year's experience it would have been "AOK". But this year it's a big four star "yay!". Here's the summary of my experience and number 6 in the following list is why the rating moved up! 1. Convenient location with ample parking in a private lot. 2. Extremely friendly and helpful front desk staff. 3. Bright and welcoming office and optical display space. (Although small and so a tad cramped when you're trying to look at frames.) 4. Good selection of frames for men and women with mid range to upper range brand options including Helium, ProDesign, Vera Wang, Coach, Nicole Miller, Mykita plus many more. None of these are inexpensive brands but the prices here are fair and competitive for what they are. I was delighted by the price of the Nicole Miller sun-glass frames I chose, which were nearly $50 less than I expected! 5. They offered to deduct 10% off the total cost of my glasses, without me asking, given I do not bill insurance for them. 6. .A big improvement in optician staff service this year over last. This last point deserves explanation. The optician last year seemed competent but over stretched and always "on the run" frantically busy. Were it not for one of the uber helpful front desk staff who stepped in (and I think is now an optical staff technician) to help with selection and follow up, I probably would have walked out with the sale to Riverbend lost both that time and for return business. But, the glasses were well made. Which is one of the things that led me back in this year when I was looking for sunglasses. The other being "hip" but affordable style options. I found that this year, there are two new folks as optical staff at Riverbend. Knowledgeable about product inventory, skilled to help select the best frame for a customer's face and budget as well as in lens technology options. And perhaps most important, skilled at getting the right fit of the glasses for great vision. I could happily recommend Riverbend for glasses just for the experience of working with the opticians these days. I am happy to say there are other things - see list above - to add to the "I'm a fan" experience to recommend Riverbend for optical needs. My hubby will need new glasses soon and based on my experience, Riverbend will be his new "go to" place.

The staff was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful in choosing the right paddleboard for us. We rented stand-up paddleboards for one hour for $30, with the option to extend to two hours for $40, which is a great value. The river is beautiful, peaceful, and full of interesting scenery. There is always something to see along the way, making the experience fun and relaxing at the same time. And don't be shy about jumping into the water if the conditions allow--it can be part of the fun! Just be sure to follow the safety instructions provided before your adventure begins. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend Tumalo Creek Kayak & Canoe to anyone visiting Bend.

The staff are quick to help and are great at fittings. It might take a few times to get it right, but it takes just a few minutes for them to help you out. I picked a pair of pricier frames, but you can grab a trendy pair of frames starting as low as $29-39.00. Loved their selection, and felt comfortable trying on as many pairs as I wanted before I settled on my frames. For a first time eyeglass wearer, I think this was a great experience!

You can tell they absolutely love what they do and take real pride in it. They actually look happy to show up to work, which in 2025 feels rarer than a parking spot at Costco on a Saturday. You never feel like a number here; everyone is genuinely kind and all smiles. Insurance has always been super transparent, which I appreciate -- though, to be fair, I always bring it up immediately because I am who I am and I need to know exactly what's getting billed where. Now, despite their incredible appointment reminder system, I still managed to forget my appointment this morning. In my defense, I've been hauling my kid here weekly while she tests out different contacts for her uniquely dramatic astigmatism, so I assumed all the reminders were for her. Plot twist: they were not. They called me ten minutes after I was supposed to be there, and somehow I sweet-talked my way into being seen if I could get there in 10 minutes -- which was nothing short of a miracle given they're often booked out 4-5 months for routine exams. Would 100% recommend. Just... maybe don't ignore the reminders.
