Bellatazza Coffee
Bellatazza in downtown Bend has a great location. If you’re looking to soak up Bend’s buzzing downtown atmosphere, this is the coffee shop you should head to. But more importantly, they sling some of the best coffee in town.
Their baristas are knowledgeable and very talented espresso aficionados. The coffee here is smooth and strong, but not too acidic. They somehow always manage to produce the perfect temperature drinks, not too hot and not too cold.
But Bellatazza don’t just specialize in good coffee. This coffee house has another secret weapon to woo patrons into their sleek coffee house. Empanadas! More specifically, fusion empanadas.
Empanada flavors include jalapeño cream cheese, sweet chili carnitas, ham and cheese, New Mexico chicken, and a vegetarian curried lentil. The South American pastry staple is served with a side of dipping sauce; a flavorful yogurt sauce made with garlic, lime, jalapeno and cardamom.
Our favorites were the jalapeño cream cheese which was a bit like a Popper inside a delicious buttery pastry, the sweet and smoky carnitas, and the hot pocket resembling black forest ham and cheese empanada. Whatever mood you’re in, you’ll find a taste to suit your mood!
Bellatazza’s mouthwatering empanadas have become a snack staple with Bend residents and if you haven’t been here yet, put it on your list of coffee shops to visit around lunch time or when you’re in the mood for an afternoon snack.

Not only is there a beautiful backdrop at this establishment, but they are also one of the only coffee shops in Bend to stay open late. Occasionally they have live music on weekends too, which you may want to keep in mind if you’re looking for a more quiet establishment.
The only thing they are lacking here is food, but that’s okay, you can’t have everything. There are a few baked goods on offer but no full menu. Happy hour is every day from 3pm to 6pm.

The company is now a favorite among Oregonians, and incase you haven’t tried their beans yet, you won’t have to go to Sisters to sip on their brew. They now have a coffee shop in Bend that is located in the Old Mill District.
