Crema's Take

Empire Coffee Shop in Bend is a beloved neighborhood gathering spot where the owners Kris and Laura have cultivated genuine warmth alongside expertly pulled espresso drinks that locals return to year after year. Their smooth, well-balanced coffee sourced from quality roasters pairs perfectly with the inviting atmosphere that works equally well for solo laptop sessions or lingering conversations over pastries and specialty drinks. It's the kind of place where consistent excellence in both the cup and the space itself keeps people coming back.

I visited Wild Roots Cafe and unfortunately did not enjoy my coffee. It was extremely weak and diluted, with very little depth or character. It lacked the boldness and full-bodied flavor I expect from a quality café. While the space itself was inviting, the coffee was a big disappointment.

Wildroots Coffee House is more than just a great place to grab coffee — it’s run by genuinely wonderful people. Kris and Laura have created an inviting, welcoming space, and it’s clear they truly care about their employees and the community they serve. The coffee is excellent, the atmosphere is warm, and the kindness behind the counter makes it even better. And if you stop in and see Kris, be sure to ask him about his (healthy...ish) Batman obsession — it’s worth the conversation! Highly recommend supporting this local gem.

Just like everyone is saying the coffee quality is above average, very smooth, no acidity. We also got the famous ocean roll for $6 and he was really good. I felt like the coffee prices were great.

My wife and I have come here every year when we visit Bend. It is hands down her favorite place to get a coffee. She will try other places, but find herself very disappointed almost every time and the asks me if I can take her here. Of course, I have no problem doing so because she loves coffee and I'd prefer her to be happy about the coffee she is drinking. She gets the almond milk mocha. It's also cheaper then most coffee places for the kind of coffee she likes.

We make every business meeting stop, one that allows us as a directory of clean, accessible restrooms, a chance to evaluate. Stumptown roaster beans are good, and WildRoots brewing of them is even better! It makes a difference. Nice environment for meeting or studying, or just simply chillin with the web. Love the restroom! Staff was really kind and quick with the order.
