Several years ago I brought some visiting German friends to Sparrow for the Ocean Roll, which they loved. The next year they visited we didnt have a lot of time and I took them someplace else for another kind of breakfast treat. They were displeased to even try something else. I apologized and promised to never get in the way of them acquiring their Ocean Roll. This year while I went to work they documented their long awaited return to Sparrow for the Ocean Roll. I need say no more. read more

We were on our was to visit the Oregon Dessert Museum and this bakery is well know for their pasty's. So we needed to make a stop to try some of their items out! I got the cinnamon knot and my wife got the lemon twist. I really enjoyed the cinnamon knot it was very tasty and the cinnamon flavor was just right. The lemon twist was also good but it wasn't that nice lemon flavor you could taste a hint but very light. We lucked out and found street parking near by, only street parking available. read more

Adorable little local bakery with a unique variety of eats. Inside waiting to order is a bit overwhelming and crowded but the line moves pretty fast. I got a veggie bahn mi since I was going on a hike later I needed to grab n go. It had a very tasty sauce and was on a fresh baguette..but it could've been crispier. I also had a delicious chocolate cookie which happened to be vegan but I wouldn't have guessed it . It was deeelish! We ate outside on the small tables that line the sidewalk. Not much to write home about but was happy to score a table since this place has a constant stream of people. read more

This bakery is worth a visit for sure. The ocean roll is famous for good reason. The pastry case was well stocked midday, which was nice. We also stayed for lunch, which was a ok. I ordered the avocado toast which was lackluster and serviced with a very small smear of avocado. Compared to the avocado toast at Lone pine coffee which is served with actually sliced of avocado I was unimpressed. The arugula had no dressing it was just topped with dry arugula. It was a pretty lazy avocado toast IMO. We also ordered a chicken salad sandwich which we didn't love. The chicken was really chunky for our taste. I'm thinking we may not have ordered the best items. Nonetheless, I'd return to try other items in the menu and for the baked goods. read more

I think there is a lot to be said for consuming all ones calories for the day in one sitting! Where has the Ocean Roll BEEN all my life? Between that extremely large cardamom pastry and a chai, I was set for the day after enjoying this lovely and extremely busy bakery one morning. I'd love to return one day and try the rest of the very tasty-looking menu! And the rest of Bend was pretty awesome too! read more

This bakery is known for its fantastic ocean rolls, so you might want to get in line if you're planning to sit down and enjoy some coffee. But if you're looking for something to take home and want just a drip coffee, they have a special line for that. The baked goods are delicious, the place gets busy in the morning, and the service was okay. read more

The ocean roll. Get it. It literally tastes like refreshing ocean. The best $6 you'll spend. It's large so can definitely be shared between two people. There's plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. Vibes are great. read more

Voted best bakery in Central Oregon? I knew I had to visit. Offering baked goods, freshly baked bread, breakfast sandwiches, classic sandwiches, steel cut oats, bowl of soup, fruit and fries. They also have a small kids menu. If you are looking for brunch, be sure to try their full line of drinks such as the Sparrow Bloody Mary, Saint Elders Cocktail, Cardamom Old Fashioned, Classic Martini and of course the classic Champagne Mimosa. What I was really looking forward to trying was the World Famous Ocean Roll. This roll has quite the reputation of being a baked delight. It is made with vanilla cardamom sugar rolled into a croissant. I think it The roll definitely lived up to the hype with its unique flavor and was delicious. We also tried the Waldorf - Chicken sandwich which was fresh tasting on a hand rolled croissant. No drinks except for orange juice as we were heading to hike. Interior is very inviting and the kind of place one could spend a couple hours with friends. There is also patio dining which is what we opted for as the day was so lovely. Service was efficient and helpful. Location appears to be in newer part of Bend and parking was street side. read more

I love this bakery and always stop into one of their retail stores or pick up some goodies at any local grocery store that carries their things. The Ocean Roll is a great "bun" and tastes like nothing else. I think it's the cardamom? I'll take it home and warm it back up in the oven for a delicious treat. They also make delicious breads, with my favorite being their long French baguette. If you're going into one of their shops, you'll appreciate the modern, clean interior and friendly, over-the-counter service. Truth... read more

Huge line but it went so fast! We ordered a couple of bacon breakfast sandwiches on croissant and OMFG so good! Yum! The eclair was delicious but almost on the verge of being too sweet. Still 5 stars! My dirty chai was exactly what I needed at 8am. And the music and feeling inside was upbeat and lively. Everyone was smiling and enjoying their work there. I will be back tomorrow to try more yummy stuff! read more

The Sparrow Bakery has long been a favorite of ours, from the time it was on Scott Street in the old payroll office to its Northwest Crossing location. Its wares have always been consistently delicious, and they still are. Sparrow always seemed to provide a safe space for people who were a bit edgier or alternative. I never had a bad interaction or any kind of issue with an employee. Everyone seemed to enjoy working there, and you could sense their appreciation for being able to be themselves. We live on the coast and visit Bend four to six times a year, and every trip includes at least one visit to Sparrow. Before this morning, our most recent visit was in August. On my last two visits, I did not recognize the eclectic mix of employees who had contributed so much to Sparrow's warm and welcoming atmosphere over the years. Perhaps I simply visited during different shifts, but the feeling was noticeably different to me. On our August visit, our beverage order was wrong. It happens. I accepted the beverages as prepared and moved on. On today's visit, the same young woman took our order at the counter. When I ordered two cardamom lattes and she asked what size, I answered very specifically because our previous order had been wrong: "Whatever size comes in the large brown ceramic latte bowls. I hate disposable paper cups." She asked for my name, handed me my Ocean Rolls, and I paid, leaving my usual 20 percent tip even though it was counter service. I sat down with my wife, enjoyed my Ocean Roll, and waited for my name to be called. My sandwich was eventually delivered, but my name still had not been called for the beverages. I went to the beverage counter, where two paper cups were sitting, and the barista asked whether I was Joe. I told her I was not. After waiting another couple of minutes, I looked at "Joe's" order and saw that it was two 16-ounce cardamom lattes. I told the barista that I had ordered two lattes but had specifically requested them in ceramic latte bowls so that we could enjoy the foam and avoid creating more landfill waste. She told me there was no other order on her board. She offered to remake them, but I explained that the waste had already been created and I did not want her to throw them away and start over. She did her best to make things right by giving me two latte bowls and saucers to use with the to-go cups. None of this was her fault, and I appreciated her effort. Sadly, because my name was not Joe, the drinks had been sitting long enough that, when I returned to the table and poured them into the latte bowls, they were still warm but no longer hot. They were also 16-ounce drinks, while the latte bowls held only 12 ounces. I know this may sound as though I am making a big deal out of very little, but for almost 20 years I received excellent service to go along with the excellent fare, served by people who seemed happy to let their freak flags fly. The atmosphere felt noticeably different during my last two visits, and I no longer felt quite the same warm and welcoming vibe. The food is still everything it used to be, so I will likely return. Hopefully, next time they will prepare the beverages as ordered and give them to the right person. read more

Do not get a warm croissant they put it in the microwave!!! If they know you did this in France they wouldn't let you make croissants, absolutely horrible! We ordered sandwiches for a big group they forgot Oceanside rolls and one persons food, they did take it off the check but said we couldn't adjust the tip amount (which seems suspect) Since supporting this spot since it open it's a shame that there apparently growth had effected there quality and service. Hella mid these days unfortunately. read more

Cute little place for pastries, bread and sandwiches with coffee. We got some pastries and a monte cristo sandwhich. The service took a bit too long to make a sandwich. But the pastries were good. I was there for the popular roll everyone was talking about but it sold out before I got there. Will try again next time. read more

Heard about their famous ocean rolls and stopped to get some for our mini roadtrip. The space is bright and inviting with plenty of seats. Easy street parking. Ordered ham & cheese roll, ocean roll and a lemon twist. The savory roll was quite tasty especially when warmed. The lemon twist was surprisingly moist. As for the ocean roll unfortunately the staff mistakenly bagged another lemon twist instead, and we didn't check until later. Oh well we could plan another roadtrip to Bend I guess. read more

A few things- they need to update their online menu as it's about $2-3 cheaper there and misleading. Took a star off for that. I got the Croque Monsieur and it was fine but needed more mustard and should have been cut in half. The pumpkin spice latte was good. The bacon breakfast sando looked delicious. And my friend's child loved the hot chocolate. There needs to be more seating and it's fairly sterile. In the warm weather patrons can sit outside. The line went fast and the order taker was lovely. read more

Very cute located in a super cute area. Busy even at 9 am on a Thursday. Got the ocean roll because we had too. So surprised how good it was! I may have liked it better than a cinnamon roll. Doesn't have icing on top, so it's much lighter than a cinnamon roll. Highly highly recommend. Also recommend asking for it warmed up read more

The Sparrow Bakery - Ocean Roll - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bend, Oregon

We stumbled upon Sparrow Bakery when venturing around Bend. I was told their ocean roll was unique and great if you like cardamom. When we got there around lunch they had already sold out. Side note: we walked across to west coast provisions and they had one last ocean roll which they mentioned was brought in that morning. I was excited to try it and it was interesting but not as sweet as a cinnamon roll. I found the bakery to be so big and bright which was great for pictures and enjoying the beautiful Bend weather. I got the pavlova to try because it is such a beautiful dessert that I can't seem to find at home nor want to make without trying it first. The pavlova was tart, sweet, and very delicious. I wish there was more lemon curd in there. I also tried a cookie and a ham/cheese croissant. The croissant was buttery and flakey with the cheese providing such great richness. The cashier wasn't very knowledgeable to the ingredients in the pastries for someone with a nut allergy. That would be my only improvement. we parked on the street and thankfully the area wasn't busy. Lots of other cute shops in the area if you need to help burn off some of those sweets. read more

Was visiting Bend for the weekend and came across this sweet little bakery! It's walk-up/counter service and then you grab a table after you order. Was there on a chilly winter day and the line extends outside when busy (I have a feeling it's always busy) so dress warm and be ready for a line! They have breakfast food and pastry options. I got the "non-bacon breakfast sandwich" which was egg, avocado, melted cheese, and arugula (I asked for it with no aioli) on a house made croissant. It was so good! I also had the chai with oat milk and it was also delicious with a wonderfully cinnamon flavor. I got a banana loaf to go for a little snack later and as with everything else it did not disappoint! Would definitely return when in Bend again! read more

The employees seem like one big family! I could feel their warmth while I was in line. I waited a long time (30 min) in line to get to go pastries. I didn't mind because I know the pastries are good, but I wish they had an express lane for pastries (they have an express room to the right of the bakery but it seems like it was just for quick sit down dining). All the pastries in the photo and the lemon meringue tart were delicious! read more

This is worth whatever wait you encounter! At 8:45am on Monday morning we walked into a long line and I was ready to bolt but we waited it out and was so glad I did. It went super fast despite some idiots waiting until they got to the cashier to figure what the options are. Lordie people. We had the ham and Gruyère croissant sandwich, which is 100 stars on its own. Coffee, a cinnamon pull apart, a blueberry scone, everything bagel with cream cheese and a cappuccino. Every was delicious, fresh, and well worth the wait. Tables seem to turn fast and the coffee can take a bit but if you aren't in a rush, it's no big deal. They have a refrigerated case full of colorful and fancy dessert and lots of baked goods. People were buying things to take home as well as eat in the restaurant. Next door is a walk up window for coffee and treats. Love the vibe here too, it's fun and well organized to seat from 1 to 8 people. Most of the seating is designed for couples and there is outdoor seating as well. Love love love this place. read more

The Sparrow lives up to its reputation: it is voted best bakery in Central Oregon for a reason. I had the Ocean Roll, think cinnamon roll but substitute the cinnamon for fresh ground cardamom -- delectable. For coffee I had the Iron Worker, an americano with MCT oil and butter. A respectable meal on its own; rich, thick, and sustaining. read more

The Sparrow Bakery - Ocean Roll - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bend, Oregon

Dynamic duos. Peanut butter and jelly, Lennon and McCartney, Han Solo and Chewbacca, Jordan and Pippen, Scooby-Doo and Shaggy, Will Ferrell and anyone. Sure they're pretty special on their own, but pair them with their "bestie" and they are instantly elevated to another stratosphere. Following in the footsteps of those legends, Sparrow Bakery has assembled its own mighty duo by pairing its venerable lineup of coffee/tea offerings with a bakery selection worthy of completing the other half of this dance card. Freshnesses is a theme that spans across the entirety of their menu and our favorite coffee/tea selections included their "Cardamom Latte", "Caramel Latte", and "Chai Latte." Our favorite bakery selections included their "Ocean Roll", "Cinnamon Knot", "Ham, Thyme, and Gruyere Croissant", award winning "Bacon Breakfast Sandwich", and "Lox-Bagel." If you're feelin' a shareable vibe we'd recommend their "French Toast Sticks" which lend themselves well to a family style dining experience. There is frequently a line out the door, but their entirely separate "Express" window is a convenient alternative if you're making a quick coffee and/or baked goods run. And that's...Henry's Take. #dynamicduos #sparrowbakerybend Photo credits @danavoros and @j_alexandra89 read more

Stopped by The Sparrow Bakery for breakfast and tried the breakfast sandwich. It was really good, with fresh avocado and all the other fixings, and the croissant bread was fluffy and fresh. The coffee was also good. Our only note is that the food took about 25 minutes to come out, and the price was a bit high, but the quality made it worth it. Overall a tasty breakfast spot if you are in the area. read more

Delicious baked goods! On the pricey side, but every pastry we got was so good. The workers were incredibly friendly. Inside the bakery is a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We got lucky - around 9:30am on a Friday, the line was short. I also ordered an iced vanilla latte, which wasn't too good. It was quite watery - either the ratio of milk to espresso was off, or it was only a single shot of espresso. The drink needed to be stronger, as the flavor of the espresso AND the vanilla was super weak. That is my only real critique of The Sparrow. Their hot drinks would probably be better. read more

On our last morning in Bend before heading home, we made our way to The Sparrow Bakery. We arrived a little bit later than I would have liked and the line to be seated was out the door. Rather than waiting in line, I decided to place an order online for takeout. While we waited for our order to be ready, my husband and I enjoyed walking around and checking out the shops nearby. All of that aside, we ordered the infamous ocean roll as well as one Croque Madame and one breakfast croissant. The ocean roll was delicious with perfect level of sweetness. The Croque Madame was decadent and rich, very filling. And my husband thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast croissant with its buttery and flaky pastry, the crispy bacon, and fresh avocado. I appreciate that they have the option to order to-go in a separate area from those patrons wishing to be seated. It definitely helped to expedite the process and sent us on our way. read more

Food: certain looks the part! It tastes good, but I would not say it's indicative of the price. There's a croissant bacon sandwich for 17$! Service: nonexistent, the grips that check you out are very nice, but it's like they are scared to ask customers who is next which made the line seem to take longer. Something better would help. Ambiance: great aesthetic, tables outside seem dingy. I think it would be a better experience that would equal the price. I'm not from Bend, and considering the line out the door I could certainly be wrong. read more

Okay, the ocean role is a must try. It was so so good. Unique flavors and came out warm. It is counter service but they deliver to your table. We also indulged in a lox bagel which was fresh and tasty. When we arrived there was a line out the door- wow! It was pretty packed and there wasn't that much seating, but we found a spot after pushing a few tables together. read more

I've been here three times now and make it a point to go every time I visit Bend. Today I went with my partner and his dad. We got there around 11am and the line wasn't too big. We were able to get a table pretty easily after ordering. We got four ocean rolls, three croissants, a strawberry crumble tart, a quiche, a non-bacon breakfast sandwich, and a monte cristo. The baked goods were taken home to share with the rest of my partner's family. The food we ate here was, as always, absolutely delicious. The sandwich is my favorite thing and I think about it often. The people working here are so lovely and love their jobs. They are super efficient and deal with the chaos with such grace. The restaurant is super cozy and clean even during peak times. There's a single small bathroom that is also clean. There's a parking lot behind the building and street parking. There is seating outside as well, and a separate to-go window if you don't want to sit down. The line for that window is usually pretty long and they have a more limited menu so I always opt to dine in instead. Go here! You will not regret it. read more

I don't know where to start. The location is super cute and feels very "Bend" like which we love. We lived in Bend for a short time and this place feels exactly like what Bend is.

Lovely spots, great baked goods, very kid friendly. THE WAIT A pretty long line, to the corner, at 10:10 am on a Saturday in July. It took about 20 minutes to get to the counter to order. All our food came out pretty fast (drinks and entrees). You get your pastries immediately. We were able to get a table outside pretty quickly for 8 people - there's lots of turnover. PARKING Plenty within a 1-block radius! FAMILY FRIENDLY Very! There's a big box of sidewalk chalk in the patio for all the kiddos. Little details are so helpful, like having a stool in bathroom for kids to reach the sink. THE SERVICE Very friendly. And when we asked a server (who wasn't even bringing out our food) what was added to the bacon & what was the eclair filling, she found out and immediately came back to tell us. THE COST $46.60 total including tax/tip for 3 pastries, 2 coffee drinks, and 1 breakfast entree (food for 2 adults, 2 toddlers). We were with another family and shared our orders, so my reviews includes much more than these 3 pastries and 1 entree. THE FOOD All baked items had amazing texture, very soft, flaky, with a nice crust. * Cinnamon Knot ($5.75) - 4 stars. Quite sweet. * Everything Croissant ($4.95) - 4.5 stars. I don't usually love savory baked goods but this was great. * Eclair with cherry cream filling ($5.95) - 3.5 stars. The bread was a little dry, the cream filling interesting but a bit chunky in texture. * Bacon Breakfast Sandwich ($15.95) - 4 stars. Quite simple, not a lot of aioli, and the bacon was baked with maple syrup & sugar but came out a little bitter. I enjoyed it in its straightforward simplicity, but my friends wished for more flavor. * Cardamom Latte ($5.50) - 3.5 stars. Quite sweet (and I have a sweet tooth!), I should have asked for reduced sweetness. Foam was nice and dense, but a bit of a thin layer. * Cappuccino ($4.50) - 4 stars. Flavor pretty good. The foam had already collapsed by the time my husband drank it, but maybe that was because it took me a few minutes to grab it from the counter. We also tried... * Ocean Roll ($5.75) - 4.5 stars. Lovely and a subtle cardamom flavor. * Lemon Twist ($5.95) - 4.5 stars. Very moist and lovely. * French toast sticks - 3.5 stars. Decent, a little dry. read more

Best bakery for miles. We had the ham and cheese pastry for breakfast. Also, other pastries too!

The food is as good as they say it is, the ocean roll and coffee are really great, and the breakfast sandwich with arugula aioli is almost an experience on par with eating mac and cheese for the first time. Service is astoundingly fast for how much business and orders they take, went on a Saturday morning during a concert series and this place was pumping stuff out. Phenomenal. This place has a great look, and is great to meet up with friends or family, and there are dogs all around the place if you enjoy the puppy pals. read more
