My husband and I are always on the lookout for a stellar breakfast spot and The Victorian Cafe did not disappoint! We walked up to see people waiting by the fires outside. The inside was warm and inviting and we were greeted right away. After a short wait we were seated by the window. Our server greeted us quickly and we ordered their bacon Bloody Mary with their pepper infused vodka. So good! I am very picky about my Bloody Marys and honestly so many bartenders fail to deliver the savory, spicy, umami goodness that I've come to expect and this Bloody Mary hit the spot. My husband had the Eighteen Wheeler. The biscuits were fluffy and thick without being overly dense. The gravy had a wonderful texture and was exactly what you want from your biscuits and gravy. The potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. I had the smoked salmon Benedict. It was perfectly seasoned and I appreciated the portion size. Our service was friendly and our meal was amazing. We will definitely be back next time we are in Bend! read more

This is a great place for brunch! The food is delicious and the bloody Mary's are a good price and so yummy! The patio is where you can people watch, eat, drink and relax. The service is good too! read more

This place is a joke. An utterly bland hot spot for the uncultured affluent white people of bend to go to. It's like a knock off mckay cottage. I wouldn't recommend McKay either, but at least the ambiance there is tolerable. I got a chai tea for $6 and I watched the server pour Oregon Chai into a coffee cup with some milk and toss it in the microwave right in front of me. Fucking pathetic. For $6 I can get a quart of the same chai and microwave it at home for myself for a month. If you're into the need to add your own seasonings to things this is the spot for you. I wouldn't recommend this place to the worst of people. Absolute clown congregation here. read more

Brunch in Bend... Victorian Cafe is a staple!! You can usually expect a bit of a wait but it is well worth it. They've got a beautiful outdoor seating area to compliment dining inside. It was great weather this weekend so we grabbed our drinks outside and hung out by the awesome firepits while we waited for our table. Chloe and her mom were our servers and they were amazing. Super kind and took great care of us. I had the Pepper Bloody Mary and the Fried Chicken Benedict and they were both incredible. Highly recommend! I can't wait to go back! read more

Definitely a busy place for a Sunday brunch. It was 1 hour 15 min to get seated and then about 40-45 minutes to get your food once you ordered. The food was delicious but not worth the wait tbh. The wild salmon Benedict was quite good. We had a lamb Benedict (that was supposed to be duck but they were out). This was a special of the week and tbh was just fine. The fried chicken Benedict was the best of the 3 Benedict's we got in my opinion. The biscuit & gravy was big and quite good. We also ordered the sweet hash & joy, I feel like you could make this at home so wouldn't get again. read more

Got short rib Benedict. Flavor of short rib was great along with the morel mushroom and portion was very good size. The poached eggs were overcooked however which kind of ruins a Benedict. Asked for crispy bacon and it def was not. Great service tho read more

Came to see what all the hype was about! Other reviewers are spot on - hot sauce wall is awesome, servers are friendly, and the portions are massive. Parking is a nightmare, it can be hard to flag someone down for coffee and/or the bill when they're busy if you're tucked off to the side, and the food wasn't *actually* that great, especially considering the price. 4 stars because it's a great lil spot with a great spread and time to table + time to eat is excellent. Would recommend a visit! read more

My goodness! $26 for a breakfast plate. Food was pretty good. Service was great. Cute place. No complaints. But jeez! Leaves you feeling a bit exploited. But hey, Amerka, baby. Supply and demand. I ain't mad atcha, but I ain't hurrying back. read more

I was a bit disappointed by my experience here. Service was lovely and ambience was homey, but the food felt short of expectations - especially for being so well-loved in Bend. I got an omelette special that had mushroom, sausage, spinach, goat cheese, onions. It came with a side of potatoes and a homemade scone. The scone and potatoes were good, but nothing spectacular. The scone was very crumbly and a little dry. The scramble was loaded with toppings, but the flavor was like a group project that didn't know how to work together. The sausage had an interesting texture and the flavor wasn't good. I ended up just picking it apart and eating the toppings separately. Neither of us finished our food and I'm not sure if we ordered the wrong things or came on an off day. Hospitality was great and it feels like you're dining in someone's home. Cozy and welcoming. The food leaves much to be desired and I much rather go to McKay's. read more

Victorian Cafe - omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bend, Oregon

we decided to have breakfast at the Victorian cafe we were ready to have a good experience . But it was busy as expected but didn't think anything of it as breakfast in Bend on a Saturday morning is difficult to get in to most restaurants. I dropped my wife off and finally found parking. It was busy and customers were coming in and out while we waited patiently to be seated. We watched as several people who came in after us were seated promptly . The hostess refused to look at us or offer any assurance that we hadn't been forgotten. It's sad that Bend has become so busy that these long time establishments no longer put customers first. Thank you but we are not going to return!!! Life long local to bend thank you for your business!!!! read more

So tasty! Be prepared for a long wait if you get there after 9am on a weekend. This place gets busy, but for good reason. One of my favorite brunch spots in Bend. They have a large menu with tons of options and speciality cocktails. The mimosas are quite small. I recommend getting the large. Even the mid-mosa is about a regular size drink. Delicious chai and coffee too for non alcoholic options. read more

I had the best day ever and I think that it's because I started my day at Victorian Café. We were able to sit outside on a sunny summer Tuesday and try out this amazing breakfast spot which has to be the best breakfast I've ever had in Bend. I love that they have so many eggs Benedict varieties and that you can even do a half order instead of a full one while getting to try out many savory and sweet options on their menu. It was so nice that we had to do it twice and even came back the following day as well. I ordered their eggs Benedict that was on the Texas toast with hot fried chicken and homemade coleslaw. Every bite, it was crispy, savory, and the perfect combination of flavor. And they even let me order single blueberry pancake, the edges were crispy with a nice dollop of butter and maple syrup. I was in heaven with my chai latte which you couldn't even tell had a bit of crater like vodka in it. This really perked up my morning before we headed off to see some waterfalls and the food kept me full late the evening as we went to a concert at Hayden Holmes amphitheater later that day. I would truly recommend coming here again. The service was great. Everyone was delightful. I always make sure to celebrate the small businesses, especially if I'm visiting from out of town and ensure that we are supporting the locals for putting so much heart in love into their food and what they do. read more

Sorry wait but it was well worth it. Has the Reuben eggs Benedict and I didn't know I needed this in my life until now. Corned beef was tender, sauerkraut had a nice clean tang, and the homemade applesauce paired perfectly with it Highly recommend if you want a delicious breakfast... The fresh squeezed grapefruit juice in the Greyhound is also amazing. read more

Great little breakfast spot but steep prices so it's definitely not just a hometown cafe. The ladies that work there are all super awesome and friendly. Service was quick, including food wait time. I was actually shocked because most of the tables were taken and my food came out really fast. They have a hot sauce wall here and that's what every place needs to consider because YUM! The scone was bomb diggity and I really loved all the different flavored mimosa options. The omelette helped cure my hangover and I downed the bottomless strawberry lemonade. So good! Cute place and if you have a large group, maybe call before hand so they can save a place. The parking lot isn't huge but I was able to find a very close spot in the neighborhood next to it. read more

Victorian Cafe was rated as one of the best breakfast places in Bend. I agree that it's good, but they can do better. The vibe I felt was that we were top-notch in the 2010s, but left little room for change in the 2020s. To start, the local staff do an amazing job at making folks feel welcome. They know many guests by name, and you can feel their community-centered focus. However, some guests feel very comfortable, allowing their dogs to prance all over guests in the outdoor seating and waiting areas. We observed multiple guests letting their animals walk all over other people, including us, and we were glad not to have a long wait for tables. After adding ourselves to the waitlist, we ordered coffees poured into paper cups with plastic lids and paper stir sticks. If guests intend to stay, I'd highly recommend using reusable mugs that folks can bring inside instead of contributing to waste while avoiding temperature cooling. Thick mugs will hold the heat better since a few guests complained about how cold their coffee got. I even ordered a new coffee when we sat inside for this reason, and I felt bad about the single-use items. The tables were cozy, and I really enjoyed the interior space. The vibes of mountain cabins crossed with neighborhood café are well done and pleasant. The menu is quite large, so take your time ordering. Ask about specials, since we weren't aware of them until we ordered. The plated meals are huge. Everyone we observed left with substantial portions, including us. We recommend trimming the menu, focusing more on seasonal and local fare, and adding higher-quality menu items and slightly smaller dishes for the prime experience. Moreover, the prices for each item could decrease, enabling guests to truly choose what they want to order. We overheard a few tables discussing the value proposition for the items and size, and they agreed that smaller meals could go a long way. I would love to return in the summer to enjoy the patios! read more

Popped in for brunch on a Sunday. The place is bustling! Instead of waiting for a table, my hubby and I opted for the bar seating - first come, first served, but much shorter than a 45+ min wait. The menu is a bounty of breakfast goodies. Benedicts galore, tons of classics, inventive plates to tantalize anyone's AM start. I loved my huevos rancheros! Tasty! And the pickle Bloody Mary was a tangy twist I loved! Overall, a great place to saddle up for a super fulfilling meal. read more

Hefty portions, savory goodness, and coffee like a waterfall. This place has hype, but it is deserved. Also, they have many good things, but the hash is super duper good. Service was absolutely amazing and very thoughtful, and the ambience is like you are at your g-ma's house and she is an amazing breakfast cook, like too good. read more

Atmosphere was nice. We sat in the back area. Server was great and paid attention. She even came back to double check on my friend who needed Gluten Free. Food was great and large portions so each couple split an eggs Benedict meal. Would go again. Only recommendation is a better choice of coffee. That was a hard pass for me and we all know I like my coffee! read more

Guys! You gotta try this place!!! I cannot rant enough about how good this was! We showed up on a Sunday morning, not super early, and only had to wait around 20 minutes. It was crowded, but after tasting everything, I can understand why! I have the privilege of being born on National Eggs Benedict Day (yay, me!) and as a result, a good benny is one of my favorite things!! Not only does Victorian Cafe have good bennies, they have unusual bennies! (Not like strange or anything, just ones that you don't see on other menus!) Our table tried three different selections and the odd ball out (my brand-new son in law) had the sweet potato hash - also scrumptious! I took the liberty of ordering the Elvis French toast for the table to split and yeah... it was super delectable and rich!! Service was great - for being so busy, they were super on top of everything! Friendly and efficient! This is one hoppin' place! I love that the outside "bar" is available for those that are awaiting tables - and the fire pit table is a bonus when it's chilly! All of that to say.... try the Victorian Cafe!!! TODAY! (haha) read more

We are visiting Bend and had a few different people recommend the Victorian Cafe for brunch. We were warned about the wait but still ended up arriving at prime time -- Saturday at 10:30 am. It's not clear at all where to find the hostess -- she's the one with the iPad at the end of the bar ... unless she's off doing something else, then you have no idea where to check in (we were not the only ones with this issue). When we finally connected, we were told the wait would be 1 hour, 15 minutes. Sounds harsh but with a terrific bar on the patio and a beautiful, warm morning, we were game -- heck, we're on vacation with nowhere to be! We grabbed a couple of tasty mimosas and a seat on the patio. While I can't say the time went fast, the people watching was bested only by the dog watching. Our name was called right at the promised time. We ended up at an inside table by the window and fairly quickly got coffee, water and menus. That was the last thing that was quick. We made our decisions and waited for the waitress to return -- by this time, we were pretty hungry. Hubby ordered the smoked salmon Bennie, I selected the sweet potato hash, which came with a scone (or toast, but who turns down a scone?). After about 10 minutes, we needed a coffee reheat and had to track down the waitress to ask for it. Ok, busy morning, we get it. Then the scone arrived. It was warm cinnamon with cinnamon butter and should have been wonderful. My advice -- skip the scone. It was dense and flavorless and shaped like a 3-year-old play dough project. A total of 30 minutes passed from the time we ordered to the time our food arrived, with no ETA or check-in from our waitress. I totally understand that a popular restaurant at peak time will be busy but it would have gone a long way to hear an update from her. Good news -- when it arrived, the food was delicious, with very generous portions. Lots of smoked salmon in the Bennie. The hash had candied bacon bits, chopped hazelnuts, goat cheese crumbles and raw curly kale in it with 2 eggs on top. Amazing combination of flavors! My only thing was that the raw kale was too pronounced; I would have preferred a more tender kale and for it to be cooked down a bit. There was so much, I took half of it home for another meal. Our bill for 2 was around $60, not including the pre-meal mimosas. So ... VC is a little bit of a mixed bag for me. Some things are wonderful but the service issues and timing need to be addressed. read more

We had a wonderful brunch. We did have to wait for 40 minutes before we could get a table. However, it was worth it. The food was delicious! The service was excellent and we enjoyed sitting outside. read more

Worth the wait! Suck it up- order a drink & wait patiently! You won't be disappointed! THE BEST dessert French toast of our lives was served-up here: (the daily special) the Biscotti Cheesecake French Toast! There simply aren't enough words to describe it: decadent, slightly crunchy, creamy dreamy, fresh, artistically divine! The Farmers Burrito was THE BEST breakfast burrito ever!! Summed-up in two words: Food Buzz! The flavors worked so well together. Every bite was full of potato, avocado, bacon, ham, etc. and not filled with egg. Again- do your stomach a favor- wait this one out!!! It's a MUST!!! read more

It was quite busy and for good reason. Staff were attentive and sat us immediately. My step daughter had the Godfather Eggs Benedict. It was the best eggs Benedict she's ever had. I had the Lazzaroni French Toast. It didn't disappoint. Portions were really big. I think next time we would split the meal. She also had the Proud Mary Bloody Mary. We will be sure to stop in again if we are through this area. Delicious. read more

Great atmosphere. My wife loves the man sized mimosas. Service was quick this morning(Thursday). Specials can be hit and miss.

My wife and I have eaten here and we've both loved the food. It's always fresh and delicious. We've always ordered different foods on the menu and all of it has been delicious. The service has always been great and the staff is always attentive. The ambiance is great and it's a feeling like you've been invited into someone's home, which it was someone's home at some time in history. Every time we've gone there for breakfast we've always been seated in the same area of the restaurant section we sat in the first time we ate there. It's a part of the restaurant like hexagonal library reading area surrounded by windows. The ambience is great and I recommend eating here. read more

Well, my wife told me about this place how there are lines out the door waiting to eat here. So we went during the week and got a table no problem. The problem is the food, mediocre at best, our shared omelet resembled scrambled eggs push together to resemble an omelette, lukewarm and soggy potatoes and a scone that was dry with little flavor, bacon folded over itself as if were thrown onto the plate.....if you want fruit instead of potatoes there's a $5 uncharge! The bill........nearly $40! Sorry to the owners of this establishment but if you can't make a proper omelet and breakfast potatoes you either need to up your game or the neighborhood needs another breakfast joint as competition. As far as being the "best breakfast" in Bend.......I'd call that a specious claim at best. read more

Dropped in here on a short trip to bend and was excited to try it after receiving glowing recommendations from 3 different people. Got in around 830AM on a Sunday and there was plenty of parking and seating available. Inside was a cute little space that felt like a converted house, not quiet but not loud. We were quickly brought waters by a busser and then sat without being noticed for about 15 minutes before being greeted by the server. Looked like she may have been on break, okay fine. She smiled and took our order quickly enough, we got the blueberry pancakes and the breakfast burrito. Plus two coffees. Breakfast burrito was okay. Kind of bland on the flavor - expected some character from the sausage but was kind of all uniform in taste . The blueberry pancakes were pretty much totally raw in the middle - liquid pancake mix and cold blueberries. My partner ate around the edge and we didn't want to send it back and be a pain. Coffee was warm and full for the duration. Overall Victorian cafe was... fine. Nothing to write home over. Price a little high for what felt like a pretty mediocre experience. Not likely to return next time I'm in bend. read more

omg idk what's up with you bend people or we just went on a bad day but this food tatstes like cheap. It was not worth our wait we waited 3 fucking hours for that and there where empty tables as well and the workers just said that it was full..? sevice is so slow. But the restaurant is kinda clean. read more

The best crab I've had in years. Food was great for the whole family, and the service was excellent

The service was great. The location is fab, and the beautiful patio seating. The selections are wonderful. My eggs Beni tasted good but the eggs were cooked hard. Very sad because egg Beni are their specialty. They did discount the bill. But that doesn't make the eggs soft! read more

Upscale breakfast. If you are going to pay $20 or more for eggs it should have local moral mushrooms, steak, or even lobster. This place is getting the most they can out of breakfast. Along side their regular menu they have a good rotation of specials. They also have a huge selection of hot sauces and a bar. read more

What a cute place. Dark inside with a bar, and tables in the front and back room. Outdoor lounge and eating area. Our server was very pleasant and prompt. Food was delivered quickly. I had the cinnamon scone instead of toast with the green hornet omelette. The omelette had a bit of kick as it had jalapeños along with spinach, avocado, asparagus, and green scallions. The breakfast potatoes were sliced thin with light seasoning. The scone was freshly baked. I thought it was undercooked but as time went on it seemed to finish baking. We also had the Goofy which seem to be the cheapest thing on the menu yet very fresh and filling. I can see why this place is open n Bend's Top 10. Very comfortable and great quality. read more

While Bend isn't known for cheap eats, this place is pricey for being very average. They are known for their bloody Marys and Benedicts so I've tried a few hoping to find what people rave about. Bloody Mary mix tastes just like a basic store bought mix, a bit more lemon forward flavor which makes it a little sour. They start at $11 and go up to $24 for the novelty Mary with a meatball and novelty sides added. Still just an average drink. The food is okay - generally tasty, basic good flavors, etc. But absolutely nothing special. The biscuits, gravy, muffins, hollandaise tastes store bought. The biscuit and gravy reminded me of a hotel breakfast option. The breakfast potatoes are often partially undercooked and under seasoned. All the dishes I've tried remind me of a basic diner breakfast- good in its own right - but for $18, $20, $25 a plate? Gave it the college try as people keep raving about it but after multiple tries I give up on this place. I'd recommend you pass on this overrated place. Go to a diner or for a more unique great breakfast head to Chow, about a mile away on Newport. read more

This is a great little café and it looks older, but I like that vintage look in cabin field in the small town. The service was really great and the ambience wasn't noisy at all, and it was really accommodating when you needed something and what not. The food is really good and I highly recommend getting the burger, especially the chicken. Great for lunch or brunch or dinner so come on in if you're stopping by this town in Bend! read more
