    They have little models of their açaí bowls
    Ciara L.

    Came here after a hike wanting something nutritious. Ordered a couple of açaí bowls and smoothies. So delicious and fresh! Service was great; ambiance was great. Several people biked/scootered in and sat outside. You can see the river too!

    Breakfast Bowl
    Carine B.

    Was craving something nourishing for my body after a week of pastries and indulgences so I stopped by Active Culture. I ordered a breakfast bowl with spinach and potatoes. Overall, it was very hearty and I ended up taking half home. That said, I found it to be a tad over priced at $19 for beans, two eggs, micro diced potatoes, a little cheese and spinach, some avocado and toppings. The cheese was also a bit rubbery and cold by the time it arrived. Overall, it was good and clean (which is a major plus) but I'm not sure I'd order this bowl again and would try the açaí instead. The staff were friendly on a busy Saturday and the bowl took about 15 minutes or so to come out. I sat outdoors which was lovely as it was a warm sunny day. There are lots of outdoor benches with umbrellas. The indoor seating is a bit more limited.

    The seasonal shamrock shake was incredible . I loved the genuine mint flavor. I was so lucky to have stumbled across this place before heading home.

    Hummus wrap

    We had a delicious delivery and cannot wait to visit in person! We had the protein açaí bowl and the hummus wrap. Both delicious. Why a 4 versus a 5 star? The delivery was timely; however the two drinks we ordered (la croix) were not delivered. We probably won't order delivery again as we don't trust we'll get our entire order.

    An amazing vegetarian place that has a great variety of healthy options. Came here for lunch with family after a day of skiing and everything was so lovely. It's clean and cozy inside w/ very kind staff & fast service. I ordered the breakfast bowl over spinach which was warm and fresh. You can really tell that the ingredients are fresh and you feel great and energized afterwards. Loved this place and its effort to provide healthy meals!!

    Rustic Kale Salad
    Mikala C.

    Came here for a quick healthy lunch. The menu is full of fresh, veggie friendly options. I liked the kale salad though was disappointed that it lacked any protein. By far, the bend bowl was everyone's favorite and I would order it again. It had a curry like sauce, avocado, cabbage, beans, and rice! Super yummy.

    Kale, organic quinoa, garbanzo beans, red onion, tomato, cucumber all mixed with a yummy sauce.

    The perfect stop for the yummiest and healthiest food. Just what I needed on my road trip down to California. Worth the three minute drive from hwy 97 south.

    Cafe des Chutes is one of my proudest finds in Bend! This cafe is so good that we visited twice…read moreduring our stay. 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!

    Cafe des Chutes is a lovely spot with outdoor seating near several small stores and an artist…read morespace. The cafe itself is very small so plan to sit outside if you're dining in. We came here for a weekend lunch, ordered baguette sandwiches, coffees, and a hazelnut cookie. All were delicious and they had lots to choose from! We enjoyed walking around afterwards, as the area is perfect for a small outing and shopping. Lots of available free parking as well. We'll be back!
