"Ordered the IT Sando and a turmeric latte after spending a weekend with non-vegan family where I literally only ate baby carrots, raw broccoli, and protein bars. I was effing ravenous for some real food. The IT Sando absolutely hit the spot. Perfect amount of sauce, great flavor, tasty toasted bread with little millet seeds interspersed throughout millet flour in gluten free bread adds fluff. Great texture. It was small (perhaps larger on glutinous bread, as thats usually the case) but hit the spot after feeling deprived for a couple days. I also ordered the turmeric latte which is stated as being made with Laird superfood turmeric and original creamer its a coconut-based creamer and maple syrup. I actually was so underwhelmed with the latte that I returned it. It just tasted like someone had put a dash of turmeric in sugar water. My partner and his brother had the aa super berry smoothies with strawberries instead of bananas (tragic banana allergy and they liked them but didnt think the 12 oz bevs were worth the $9 price tag. All in all, basing my experience on one sandwich, Id recommend this place. Next time in Bend Id like to go back and try their other offerings."

"I'm shocked that this is the first HappyCow review for Bonta! Although you can buy their sorbetto at the grocery store, visiting the shop for a cone in the middle of summer is essential. I wish that they had more dairy-free options, but the coconut flavors are delicious with a good texture in particular. You can also try mixing in some of the Jem nut butter (available in the front) for some additional variety. The line can grow long during the summer, but service is relatively fast regardless and the staff are super friendly."

"Typically, coffee shops try too hard to exude a cool vibe when they're not, but this one is genuinely exceptional—1000/10! The staff is amazing, kind, and friendly. They roast their coffee on-site, resulting in incredible brews. I tried their maple latte, and it was delightful; many coffee shops overdo the syrup these days, but this one strikes the perfect balance—you can taste the maple without it being overly sweet. They offer outdoor seating for dog owners, and the atmosphere is open and spacious. The almond croissant is also quite substantial. The merchandise is of great quality, so I couldn’t resist picking up a hoodie; their branding is simple and clean. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends—10/10!"

"Nice people, convenient location near Drake Park, and good food. Enjoyed breakfast 2 days in a row over the weekend. For both visits, we got our name on waitlist around 11:30am. Friendly staff but inconsistent plates. Saturday was less busy (less than half hour wait) with bakeries available and food was excellent! Sunday was busy (one hour wait) no bakeries available, and a same plate was disappointing (over salted, hollandaise was poor, and stingy compared to day before). Had Tri-Tip steak Benedict both days, again excellent on Saturday, not so much on Sunday. Frittata on Saturday was delicious and quiche on Sunday was disappointing (over salted, stingy filling). So, our takeaway is if wait is 30 minutes or less, you'll probably get a great plate. If longer, you may be taking your chances, though it may have been a staffing issue. Recommended with caution. Cheers!"

"We went out for date night on a Monday Evening and there were some active tables but they definitely weren't busy. The food was very, very good; but we were pretty disappointed that the service was slow and disoriented, especially when waiting for drinks. Our server kept coming to our table saying things like, "oh, that hasn't been brought over to you yet and "let me go try to find that for that for you We also requested a meal to-go to be brought out at the end of our meal so we could enjoy a night cap and bring home hot food to our guest, but instead all of our food was brought out at one time including the bagged up to-go item. This is not the first time that according to our server, "the kitchen just decided to make all of it at once The last time I dined here for lunch we received all our apps and entrees at the exact same time and the server apologized because they asked for it to be spaced out. This all definitely makes me a little nervous on what service could be expected on a busy, weekend night. Overall we enjoyed ourselves and the food really is delicious"
