The best part of fall in Bend? The pastry cases are stacked. 🥐✨
📍 @thepantrybend – Sage Brown Butter Honey Latte + Cinnamon Roll Scone (still thinking about that icing)
📍 @msbakerybend – Pumpkin Cream-Filled Cruffin = flaky, creamy, fall perfection
📍 @thumpcoffee – Real-pumpkin PSL + Muffin with cream cheese & streusel (trust us, it’s the move)
No trail map needed—just follow the crumbs. 😉
