There was a reasonable amount of seating space inside, but we chose to sit outside while it was cool. When we're back in the area, we definitely wanna come back here. Thanks for the memories!

Cafe des Chutes is a cute, European-style cafe that invites you to slow day and enjoy a pastry and coffee on their patio. During each visit, we ordered coffee and at least two items to try a little bit of everyone. I loved that they were offering samples on both days that we went - one day was the Oregon roll and the other was their specialty bread pudding. I was sold on the Oregon Roll! This is their speciality, rolls up marionberry jam inside a croissant with a hazelnut butter glaze. Other items we ordered included the pistachio croissant, peanut butter brownie, Brie and fig jam baguette, jalepeno cheddar scone, and seasonal bread pudding. Everything was a chef's kiss! You can't go wrong here. Be prepared to drop a bag you won't regret. We spent at least $50 during each visit but we were satisfied with our selection. I still dream of this spot and highly recommend for anyone looking for a good cafe outside of downtown Bend!

The gaggle of hyperbolic statements and five-star ratings would suggest one of two things about the people making them. The first, and more romantic possibility is that my fellow reviewers have been paid by Looney Bean insiders to allege that their cup of coffee was "THE BEST...EVER," or to libel other local coffee roasters as "pretentious" and "hipster." I hardly have reason, however, to believe that such corruption exists within the homey confines of Looney Bean, so I'm humbly lead to assume that my cohorts-in-criticism wield different expectations of a café than do I (the pretentious hipster who drinks coffee elsewhere). Our entrance was greeted by relatively friendly, if ill-informed service in the form of two young women. I inquired about the brewed coffee that was available, asking firstly about the darkness of the roasts and secondly about the manner in which the coffee was prepared. In response to my question about the roasting, I was informed that the Sumatran option was a "dark roast" and the other option, "House," was "more medium." Being partial to lighter roasts, which I drink at my pretentious, hipster coffee haunts, I ordered the latter, whose beans' origin appears to be either dubious or top-secret. The woman at the register, whom I gravely hope was working her first day in the coffee industry, frantically referred to her colleague upon my second question. "Drip," she repeated. I left the counter unsettled. The woman serving drip coffee did not know what drip coffee was. Pardon my lofty standards. I took my mysterious mug of coffee and meandered through the café, which was at once cozy, large, and filled with lively, sociable patrons. My friends and I decided against sitting in any of the rooms, though, and we found a spot on the sizable rear lawn, which is primely seated against the scenic Deschutes River. It was here that we took the took our inaugural sips of the favorably regarded Looney Bean coffee, and at the very same time realized we had been roped into an exceptionally typical cup of coffee. It did indeed taste like drip coffee, and adequately prepared at that. In terms of its roast, "medium" was only an appropriate descriptor when my cup was compared to the Sumatran offering, which embodied America's beloved French roast, wherein the beans are roasted until their sugars begin to carbonize, giving them a flavor that one could liken to charcoal without being derogatory. Nevertheless, I would be misguided and ignorant to think my disposition toward more lightly roasted beans should warrant a low rating for this establishment. There are at least twelve other places in Bend where coffee like Looney Bean's can be found. Though Looney Bean roasts its own coffee, to my palate its beans taste no more "specialty" than those purchased from area roasters like Dilusso or Bellatazza, or perhaps even nationwide ones like Peet's or Tully's. Where Looney Bean distinguishes itself is its setting, having a location downtown with picturesque outdoor seating and an accommodating, roomy interior. The baristas seemed to possess a level of knowledge about their coffee better suited, I dare say, for a roadside coffee stand. Bend is inundated with coffee shops, and for this reason I am inclined toward acute discrimination among them. Looney Bean is an acceptable choice for one seeking ambience rather than knowledgeability or a unique cup of coffee, but the rest of us are forced to search farther inland for well-versed baristas and exceptional coffee. read more

I love Looney Bean! It reminds me of the coffee and tea establishments we hung out in back in our college days in the 80's. Their back yard by the river is huge with seating all over so grabbing a coffee and a pastry or sandwich and having a seat outside is the best. I am member of a local BNI chapter that encourages 1-1 meetings with other members so having a place to meet in a relaxing atmosphere with no pressure to vacate a table is ideal. We have also used their back yard seating to host business meetings with clients. Great coffee, treats from local bakeries and lots of seating choices inside and out. Plan your next coffee break at Looney Bean! read more

The coffee is fantastic, the building has a wonderful setting and atmosphere that enriches the experience. Try the Velvet Elvis if you don't know what to get, you won't regret it.

While they don't use a very interesting coffee (they use Stumptown), preparation is usually excellent, and the staff is friendly. I hate to give only 2 stars in this review, but this one experience today really changed my overall opinion. A great coffee experience is EASY to find here in Bend, and what happened today tells me the ownership is a bit out of the loop and may not be doing training correctly. I even tried to reach out to the ownership team on their website, but no contact information can be found anywhere. The bar is high for coffee in this town, so my recommendation is to pass by this place and go about a quarter mile down the road for a better, more predictable experience.
