Delicious, no matter which menu item I choose. Love the Ocean rolls and typically order a few to take home with us as well. Cardamom latte = perfection. The banana bread and the breakfast croissants are other tasty treats we’ve purchased on numerous occasions.
Just go! It’s always good!

My 2nd time in Bend and this place is a must! The food is so good and the treats even better. This time I got the lemon tart, but last time I got the chocolate caramel one and it has lived on in my memory ever since. I want to try their drinks soon as well. The coffee is strong and flavorful. 10 out of 10

The food is as good as they say it is, the ocean roll and coffee are really great, and the breakfast sandwich with arugula aioli is almost an experience on par with eating mac and cheese for the first time. Service is astoundingly fast for how much business and orders they take, went on a Saturday morning during a concert series and this place was pumping stuff out. Phenomenal. This place has a great look, and is great to meet up with friends or family, and there are dogs all around the place if you enjoy the puppy pals.

Have loved this place for years, but the life span has apparently run its course here. I tried to order the famous Ocean Roll, but was told they were sold out. Then the people two spots behind me in line throw a fit and mysteriously 6 Ocean Rolls appear from the kitchen. But that’s not the end. We ordered a hot Matcha latte, wait 20 minutes, and found chunks of unprocessed matcha powder floating throughout. The food arrived, 48 minutes after ordering, the breakfast sandwich was the third monstrosity to arrive. The bacon was burnt black, the aoli was a joke and there was enough arugula to feed an army of rabbits. Then there is the croque. Essentially on Wonder Bread. Uncooked Safeway ham and burnt black cheese meet enough mustard to cover an Octoberfest. RIP Sparrow, we won’t be back.

This bakery opens at 8 AM, and by the time we arrived around 8:10 AM on a Sunday, there was already a line for orders and a few tables were taken. So, if you’re on a tight schedule, I’d recommend coming as early as possible. We ordered the Ocean Roll, both bacon and non-bacon sandwiches, and a cappuccino. The coffee took a while to be served, so keep that in mind if you’re in a rush. The sandwiches were good, and the croissant was fresh and flaky — though a little seasoning on the avocado would have made it better. I didn’t personally enjoy the Ocean Roll, but my husband liked it. It was fresh with a sweet, subtle cardamom and cinnamon flavor. The place itself is cozy and beautiful, and the staff is friendly and welcoming.

Ordered the worst matcha I’ve ever had in my matcha loving life. The less green matcha is, the lower the quality. This matcha was almost brown. Thought to myself, I’ll try it anyway, maybe it’s still good! Nope.
Breakfast sandwich isn’t bad.

Had the best ocean roll I’ve had in a long time today. Perfectly flakes, lots of sugar and cardamom, and ooey gooey goodness. Before they were dense, dry, and bland. Today was the ocean rolls I remember from years ago. Love the walk up window to grab a quick pastry instead of waiting in line. The lemon twist is without a doubt the best pastry at Sparrow though. If you’ve only had an ocean roll, branch out and get a lemon twist.

Really good bakery and cafe! The coffee was very good! The breakfast sandwich on the croissant was very good! The bagel was very good!
We will be back and would even go across town for this place

Excellent bakery, espresso, friendly staff. Clean and tidy. A lot of 4 tops, and space for individuals working on laptops. Main complaint was the crowding at times… there was a kibe to order. Go figure!

Popped in to see what all the hype is about. What’s this whole “Ocean Roll” thing? ♂️
Got mine to go cause I don’t got time to sit around with all you people! Well… Well it’s pretty awesome. It’s like a croissant and a cinnamon roll had a baby in an East Indian spice market! This one item could be your whole business plan. Maybe it is? I’ll probably never know cause every time I come back I’ll be getting the same thing, “Ocean Roll please” . Sooooo good !
