We're Bend natives and these are the places we love enough to visit weekly!
Don't miss Sparrow Bakery's Ocean roll. It's a Bend essential. (The Almond Croissant is a must-have too). There are two Sparrow locations but in the summertime, the one on Scott street has the most charm by far.

Backporch was started by a good friend of ours about 15 years ago and the Greenwood location is within walking distance of the Villa. We go multiple times a week for the lavender or cardamom latte!
