Nancy P's Cafe & Bakery
1054 NW Milwaukee Ave, Bend, OR
Crema's Take
“This beloved Bend institution has earned its devoted following through a genuine commitment to homemade quality, from their legendary carrot cupcakes to fresh egg pockets and rotating soups that keep regulars coming back for over a decade. The warm, locally-rooted atmosphere—filled with local art and the kind of genuine hospitality that makes grandparents want to bring their grandkids—makes it feel less like a coffee shop pit stop and more like a community gathering spot where people actually want to linger. It's the rare kind of independent cafe that checks every box: excellent coffee and pastries, an inviting space, fair prices, and that intangible sense that someone genuinely cares about what they're serving.”

NANCY P's is by far one of our top 3 places to go eat. It checks off all the boxes. Ambiance, great selection for breakfast or lunch, homemade yummy taste, and price. If your splitting a sandwich you won't be able to finish your half. The minute you walk in you can smell how homemade everything is and the glass case is filled with the most original scones, breakfast treats and desserts. Their lattes are the BEST! The staff is always so friendly and personal. The owner Katie always takes time to talk and share. Im not one to write reviews but this place deserves one. Here's my favorite: Bacon and cheese quiche, any of their soups, any berry scones, and all of the sandwiches (grilled). Bring an appetite! In May they have the most beautiful blossoms outside the restaurant!
We've lived in Bend for about 10 years now. After we'd been here a year or so a friend recommended Nancy P's as the best breakfast bakery in town. We tried it and have been going back ever since. We probably eat there almost once a week. Their pockets are outstanding, as are the frittatas and quiche. Lunch is good too, but we do breakfast more often. I love sitting outside when the weather permits. Great spot!
We love Nancy P’s! My grandpa lives in Bend and is a regular customer. He brings us their amazing, huge, delicious cupcakes whenever he visits. Best cupcakes ever! It’s a must-stop when we come into town to visit him with the kids. Such a cute, small town feel with yummy food and lots of love. ❤️ A beautiful family tradition.
People who live in Bend have known for years that Nancy P’s Café and Bakery is a special place. I know this because I am one of those people. A typical lunch for me is the Nancy P’s “soup of the day”, a Nancy P’s half sandwich or a freshly made salad from the list of choices and a cup of coffee. If I am there for breakfast, I am always tempted to have one of their famous cinnamon buns or some other breakfast pastry. I like to sit on a stool at a corner table near the windows, among the hanging works from local artists. It’s a good place to eat while reading my book and still watch the comings and goings of customers. In warm weather, I may opt to sit outside at a patio table in the shade, sometimes known as the “butterfly corner”. If you are lucky, you may see a Monarch or a hummingbird visiting the hanging plants. There are other good outside seating options too – the tables under the trees, the Adirondack chairs or the Redwood Bench made from a fallen old growth. Finally, and perhaps most importantly (my great grandchildren would say) be sure to check out Nancy P’s cupcakes, especially the ones with filling, made by Nancy P’s most talented baker/pastry chef. Or perhaps you may wish to special order a pie or birthday cake. It would be great, like everything else at Nancy P’s. Five Stars for sure!
One of the enduring foodie landmarks of Bend! I love the egg pockets, turkey sandwiches and all the sweet treats but especially the carrot cupcakes. Local through and through, from the art adorning the walls to the cheerful buzz of the regulars. There is nothing else like it in town! Perfect for catching up with a friend or breakfast/ lunch or grabbing some sustenance on your way to your daily adventure.
