Dining, coffee and nature in Central Oregon

---

---

Whenever Nix is in town, we like to roam around Oregon and explore as much as we can: this last trip, we spent a couple days in Bend — here are some of our favorite spots in the area.

---

---

• Spork for locally-sourced dishes and Asian fusion plates

• Spoken Moto for coffee and hangs

• Bonta for gelato

• Thump for more coffee

• McKay Cottage for breakfast

• Jackson’s Corner for any and every meal

• Wild Rose for Thai food

The drive to Sparks Lake is a dream: try to go for sunrise or sunset!

Smith Rock State Park is nearby and truly looks otherworldly: another amazing spot for sunset.

I hope you get the chance to head out to this part of Oregon and experience these unique and beautiful places. Thanks for reading!
