Croutons Menu | Bend Oregon

Croutons Restaurant LogoCroutons is one of my premiere spots in Bend, Oregon to grab lunch. It's a spot you should choose if you have a little time on your hands. They make awesome food, and that takes time. Not they are slow by any means, but don't expect a super quick soup, salad, and sandwich. It's a good weekend spot, or spot for a long lunch.

Croutons is one of those places that uses premium ingredients, so the end result is always bomb digity. They also serve, China Mist tea (a big bonus for me), an assortment of bottled products... beer, carbonated teas, craft ginger ales, and root beers, etc. They also have a Pepsi fountain if you want to go that route. The soups, salads, and sandwiches are always high quality and flavorful.
