Maybe it’s like a rocket ship landing in a placid Cascades lake — or perhaps more appropriately, like a clatter of hooves in a mud puddle, but it’s hard to overstate the gusto with which Hawkeye & Huckleberry Lounge splashed down on Bend this year. With a massive bar and dining room — done to […]
Ten restaurants in Bend are participating in this year’s foodie crawl. The event on Sunday, April 27 raises money for NeighborImpact. It’s described as a pub crawl meets a progressive dinner event.

In November 2024, The Pantry — a cozy coffee and mercantile shop tucked along NW Newport Avenue — announced it was for sale. Known for its house-made syrups, sustainable goods and delicious pastries, the neighborhood favorite has officially found new owners. Joel Morgan and his family took over the space in mid-March. The listing immediately […]
In the words of author Jasmine Guillory: “Wouldn’t it be great if you could order a breakfast burrito and it just showed up at your door every morning?” This question inspired Bend Breakfast Burrito owners Valerie and Trent Hilton to launch a breakfast burrito delivery service in 2021, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
