What an awesome gem in La Pine! I can’t believe it took me so long to discover the food options and super cute courtyard here. We’ve gone there many times to buy their Badlands Rye Whiskey, which is top notch and we love to give it as a gift to say, “here’s something from our home town.” This weekend my wife suggested we stop over there before heading up to East Lake, and we had a super delicious bagel and coffees from Badlands and also grabbed some of the best omelettes I’ve ever had at the Chubby Duck food truck at Badlands. Our kids ate them up quick, and that says A LOT. Such a great find in La Pine. Thank you for being here :)

Amazing service (inside) and also from food truck. Our pasta was AMAZING!!! The atmosphere was very nice, beautiful and clean. Wish I didn't live 3 hrs away so I could come more often.

Beautiful, exceptionally clean place with great seating and a relaxed vibe. The breakfast sandwich was filling and tasty, the coffee hit the spot, and the lemonade was excellent. The husband-and-wife owners were very friendly, prices are fair, service was quick, and even the restrooms were spotless—a perfect road trip stop.

Had a nice lunch here after striking out getting any service at the place next door. Here, friendly staff, cool vibe and a nice private patio. Had a very tasty rye Manhattan and a satisfying bagel sandwich. Will definitely go back and do some tasting of the various distilled offerings.

Awesome spot for breakfast. Food is really well executed. Barista skills are on point. Bloody Mary was incredible. Grabbed some Plum Vodka to go.
