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.

Waldorf - Chicken Salad Sandwich
Renee N.

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.

Monte Cristo, ocean roll, iced chai latte
Kimmy S.

SO good. Good place to work, lots of indulgent options. Ordered ocean roll pastry, monte cristo, and iced chai latte. I attempted to order the sandwich with different bread (the brioche) but they said no substitutions. I'm glad they didn't because it was perfect as is.

Non-bacon breakfast sandwhich and a chai latte
Chelsea Laine H.

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!

I don't know how it's possible that I haven't written a review for Sparrow Bakery, but that will change today! This is one of my favorites for cardamom latte (not many places do them anymore), ocean rolls, croissants, beignets, and French toast sticks! Ok I love breakfast foods and it's all good, what can I say. I frequently brought the cookies into my salon when I worked in Bend. I miss that!

Restaurant menu - correct prices
Kelly L.

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.

Ocean Roll
Brennan S.

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

Desserts

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.

Almond croissant, Lemon Twist, cinnamon knot, chocolate roll, Ocean Roll

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!

Ocean Roll
Ty B.

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.

Bacon Breakfast sandwich 4.5/5
Kayleigh W.

We came here two days in a row while staying in Bend. The vibe is warm and airy with high ceilings. Walk up ordering is easy and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. The cinnamon bun and ocean rolls are simply amazing. The breakfast sandwich was perfect as well. We have a new regular bend spot!

Gabby S.

Absolutely incredible!!! Bear breakfast and pastries I've had in Bend! Totally worth the wait (and there will be a good wait lol) but we got a table fairly easily inside and enjoyed our delicious sandwiches and pastries. You truly can't go wrong with anything here! They also have adorable merch to buy! 10/10 recommend!

Cinnamon pull apart and regular coffee
Patrick S.

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.

The line moved relatively quickly, and I noticed the pastry selection as I decided on my coffee order. Because this cafe is located in Grove Market Hall, there's both indoor and outdoor seating available. I ordered an espresso with panna, and I liked how the whipped cream was not overly sweet and had a nice balance with the espresso flavor. The blackberry danish was also tasty with a flaky texture.

It's very conveniently located within walking distance to the rest of downtown Bend. It can get pretty packed, and seating isn't always guaranteed, but if you have time to hang around, the atmosphere is well worth experiencing. There's a bar-style seating area where locals seemed genuinely settled in, giving the shop a true neighborhood feel. I ordered a large Belgian Mocha, which was rich in flavor while not being overly sweet. The espresso was definitely still there, so the drink was beyond just a dessert vibe. Service was friendly and efficient, with my drink ready in just a few minutes despite the crowd. Overall, this is a lively downtown coffee spot best suited for those who want quality drinks and don't mind a local crowd.

Thump is a great local cafe. While I was there (7am on a Friday), I saw no less than twelve people…read morewalk in who were on a first name basis with the baristas. Additionally, our barista gave us a coupon for a free 12oz drink because it took more than five minutes for us to get the breakfast sandwich, it didn't seem like a long time to me but that is just good service. The music was tasteful and not too loud which helped cultivate the calm and pleasant ambiance. The pastries were delightful, so good in fact that I was unable to get a photo due to my inability to delay taking a bite as soon as we sat down. We had the ham and gruyère croissant and the plain croissant. The breakfast sandwich was great; the homemade English muffins were dense but not heavy, the bacon was perfectly thick and crispy, the egg was well done, and the pesto mayo tied it all together. The Latte was solid, I regret not trying the syrups which I found out were homemade after I had ordered, it seemed as though everyone who ordered after me got the cardamom syrup in their drinks. My girlfriend got the hemp milk latte, unsweetened. She is a matcha snob and was pleased with her order, which is a rarity for coffee forward places such as Thump. Stop at Thump if you're in Bend.
