The Victorian Café

Hefty portions, savory goodness, and coffee like a waterfall. This place has hype, but it is deserved. Also, they have many good things, but the hash is super duper good. Service was absolutely amazing and very thoughtful, and the ambience is like you are at your g-ma's house and she is an amazing breakfast cook, like too good.

The food was amazing, I had the eggs Benedict, which was my first time trying it, and I was very happy with my choice. The ham and the potatoes were very good as well. For my drink, I had the citrus strawberry lemonade, which was refreshing. I was not a fan of the service. The hostess was not very friendly. She sat myself and my two sisters in the sun. On a very hot day, when there were other spots available with shade. We asked to move, and she said it was fine and didn't help us move our waters or utensils or menus. She simply walked away. We waited about 2 hours to get our food while we saw other people being served that came after us. This was my sister in laws birthday brunch we planned for her, and it was disappointing.

So freaking amazing. Great energy. Great food. And a great waiting area outside with a fire. Had the southwest benedict The hobo potatoes Classic Benedict Oatmeal And some other stuff The food was so good I could cry. When each bite would rest on my tongue it’s like that perfect spot where you’re like damn I am having such a nice time right now eating this, I am so at peace

Brunch in Bend... Victorian Cafe is a staple!! You can usually expect a bit of a wait, but it is well worth it. They've got a beautiful outdoor seating area to compliment dining inside. It was great weather this weekend, so we grabbed our drinks outside and hung out by the awesome firepits while we waited for our table. Chloe and her mom were our servers, and they were amazing. Super kind and took great care of us. I had the Pepper Bloody Mary and the Fried Chicken Benedict, and they were both incredible. Highly recommend! I can't wait to go back!

I visited this restaurant for breakfast and it was really good. I arrived just before it started to get busy. People were waiting outside to get a table once our food had arrived. The waitress was nice. The portions are big, so come with an appetite. Parking can be a challenge, so be prepared to walk if the parking lot is full. They have indoor and outdoor seating, so that is an option. I would eat here again.

We arrived on a Tuesday morning about 30 minutes after opening and there was only one other table with customers, so not busy at all. I would describe the Victorian Café as an ok spot, but overpriced. A cup of VERY strong black coffee for $5, and a breakfast plate for $20. Flavor was fine - nothing novel or unique, just good food - but portion sizes were underwhelming. Basically not a great value. Also, I was looking forward to a scone, but they didn’t have any made that day. That was disappointing. We may try them again, but there are several other spots in town we’ll want to hit first.

Best eggs Benedict I’ve ever had!! Also recommend the Bloody Mary. Had a half pickle/half pepper vodka blend one day, and the proud Mary another day. Both were excellent quality, although be prepared to taste the vodka in the proud Mary due to the extra shot. All in all, a wonderful experience that made everyone in our party wish we lived closer.

Great service! I had the Big Easy Benedict which had sausage and shrimp. It was delicious and my husband had the Green Hornet Omelette and he loved his too! We shared the biscuit and gravy which was one of the best I’ve had in a while. Mimosas were amazing also! We’ll definitely be back.

This is a great place for brunch! The food is delicious and the bloody Mary's are a good price and so yummy! The patio is where you can people watch, eat, drink and relax. The service is good too!

I was a bit disappointed by my experience here. Service was lovely and ambience was homey, but the food felt short of expectations - especially for being so well-loved in Bend. I got an omelette special that had mushroom, sausage, spinach, goat cheese, onions. It came with a side of potatoes and a homemade scone. The scone and potatoes were good, but nothing spectacular. The scone was very crumbly and a little dry. The scramble was loaded with toppings, but the flavor was like a group project that didn't know how to work together. The sausage had an interesting texture and the flavor wasn't good. I ended up just picking it apart and eating the toppings separately. Neither of us finished our food and I'm not sure if we ordered the wrong things or came on an off day. Hospitality was great and it feels like you're dining in someone's home. Cozy and welcoming. The food leaves much to be desired and I much rather go to McKay's.

Sorry wait but it was well worth it. Has the Reuben eggs Benedict and I didn't know I needed this in my life until now. Corned beef was tender, sauerkraut had a nice clean tang, and the homemade applesauce paired perfectly with it Highly recommend if you want a delicious breakfast... The fresh squeezed grapefruit juice in the Greyhound is also amazing.

Came to see what all the hype was about! Other reviewers are spot on - hot sauce wall is awesome, servers are friendly, and the portions are massive. Parking is a nightmare, it can be hard to flag someone down for coffee and/or the bill when they're busy if you're tucked off to the side, and the food wasn't *actually* that great, especially considering the price. 4 stars because it's a great lil spot with a great spread and time to table + time to eat is excellent. Would recommend a visit!

Got short rib Benedict. Flavor of short rib was great along with the morel mushroom and portion was very good size. The poached eggs were overcooked however which kind of ruins a Benedict. Asked for crispy bacon and it def was not. Great service tho

The best crab I've had in years. Food was great for the whole family, and the service was excellent

If it wasn't for the good, friendly service and ambience, this place would get a 1 star. It has a great patio that was full, so we sat inside. Inside was nice and comfortable. Service was prompt, attentive, and friendly. Whoever is cooking eggs in the kitchen needs to find a new job. Had THE worst overcooked omelet I've ever had! The only good thing on my plate was the homemade scone. My wife's eggs ordered "scrambled cooked soft" were scrambled cooked extra dry. Hate to leave a bad review for a place that has so much potential, but there's much better breakfast options in Bend. You'd think with so much competition, you would make sure your food is on point.

Dropped in here on a short trip to bend and was excited to try it after receiving glowing recommendations from 3 different people. Got in around 830AM on a Sunday and there was plenty of parking and seating available. Inside was a cute little space that felt like a converted house, not quiet but not loud. We were quickly brought waters by a busser and then sat without being noticed for about 15 minutes before being greeted by the server. Looked like she may have been on break, okay fine. She smiled and took our order quickly enough, we got the blueberry pancakes and the breakfast burrito. Plus two coffees. Breakfast burrito was okay. Kind of bland on the flavor - expected some character from the sausage but was kind of all uniform in taste . The blueberry pancakes were pretty much totally raw in the middle - liquid pancake mix and cold blueberries. My partner ate around the edge and we didn't want to send it back and be a pain. Coffee was warm and full for the duration. Overall Victorian cafe was... fine. Nothing to write home over. Price a little high for what felt like a pretty mediocre experience. Not likely to return next time I'm in bend.

Great little breakfast spot but steep prices so it's definitely not just a hometown cafe. The ladies that work there are all super awesome and friendly. Service was quick, including food wait time. I was actually shocked because most of the tables were taken and my food came out really fast. They have a hot sauce wall here and that's what every place needs to consider because YUM! The scone was bomb diggity and I really loved all the different flavored mimosa options. The omelette helped cure my hangover and I downed the bottomless strawberry lemonade. So good! Cute place and if you have a large group, maybe call before hand so they can save a place. The parking lot isn't huge but I was able to find a very close spot in the neighborhood next to it.

It was quite busy and for good reason. Staff were attentive and sat us immediately. My step daughter had the Godfather Eggs Benedict. It was the best eggs Benedict she's ever had. I had the Lazzaroni French Toast. It didn't disappoint. Portions were really big. I think next time we would split the meal. She also had the Proud Mary Bloody Mary. We will be sure to stop in again if we are through this area. Delicious.

Victorian Cafe was rated as one of the best breakfast places in Bend. I agree that it's good, but they can do better. The vibe I felt was that we were top-notch in the 2010s, but left little room for change in the 2020s. To start, the local staff do an amazing job at making folks feel welcome. They know many guests by name, and you can feel their community-centered focus. However, some guests feel very comfortable, allowing their dogs to prance all over guests in the outdoor seating and waiting areas. We observed multiple guests letting their animals walk all over other people, including us, and we were glad not to have a long wait for tables. After adding ourselves to the waitlist, we ordered coffees poured into paper cups with plastic lids and paper stir sticks. If guests intend to stay, I'd highly recommend using reusable mugs that folks can bring inside instead of contributing to waste while avoiding temperature cooling. Thick mugs will hold the heat better since a few guests complained about how cold their coffee got. I even ordered a new coffee when we sat inside for this reason, and I felt bad about the single-use items. The tables were cozy, and I really enjoyed the interior space. The vibes of mountain cabins crossed with neighborhood café are well done and pleasant. The menu is quite large, so take your time ordering. Ask about specials, since we weren't aware of them until we ordered. The plated meals are huge. Everyone we observed left with substantial portions, including us. We recommend trimming the menu, focusing more on seasonal and local fare, and adding higher-quality menu items and slightly smaller dishes for the prime experience. Moreover, the prices for each item could decrease, enabling guests to truly choose what they want to order. We overheard a few tables discussing the value proposition for the items and size, and they agreed that smaller meals could go a long way. I would love to return in the summer to enjoy the patios!

Great French Toast, service and ambiance. Outdoor seating works well; dogs welcome! We'll definitely be back!

Worth the wait! Cute little brunch place 1. Very little parking lot spaces 2. Street parking 3. You're going to have to wait but can wait with a drink 4. Vegan plates available 5. Mimosas! (Blackberry, white peach, etc) 6. Average prices 7. Not wheelchair friendly

So tasty! Be prepared for a long wait if you get there after 9am on a weekend. This place gets busy, but for good reason. One of my favorite brunch spots in Bend. They have a large menu with tons of options and speciality cocktails. The mimosas are quite small. I recommend getting the large. Even the mid-mosa is about a regular size drink. Delicious chai and coffee too for non alcoholic options.

I kept hearing about this place so I had to end on this note before heading to the airport. They even got me in under a bit of a crunch. Delicious chicken n waffle beni from the specials menu. Great brunch ambience, great service, great menu items. Recommend!

Worth the wait! Suck it up- order a drink & wait patiently! You won't be disappointed! THE BEST dessert French toast of our lives was served-up here: (the daily special) the Biscotti Cheesecake French Toast! There simply aren't enough words to describe it: decadent, slightly crunchy, creamy dreamy, fresh, artistically divine! The Farmers Burrito was THE BEST breakfast burrito ever!! Summed-up in two words: Food Buzz! The flavors worked so well together. Every bite was full of potato, avocado, bacon, ham, etc. and not filled with egg. Again- do your stomach a favor- wait this one out!!! It's a MUST!!!

My wife and I have eaten here and we've both loved the food. It's always fresh and delicious. We've always ordered different foods on the menu and all of it has been delicious. The service has always been great and the staff is always attentive. The ambiance is great and it's a feeling like you've been invited into someone's home, which it was someone's home at some time in history. Every time we've gone there for breakfast we've always been seated in the same area of the restaurant section we sat in the first time we ate there. It's a part of the restaurant like hexagonal library reading area surrounded by windows. The ambience is great and I recommend eating here.

Popped in for brunch on a Sunday. The place is bustling! Instead of waiting for a table, my hubby and I opted for the bar seating - first come, first served, but much shorter than a 45+ min wait. The menu is a bounty of breakfast goodies. Benedicts galore, tons of classics, inventive plates to tantalize anyone's AM start. I loved my huevos rancheros! Tasty! And the pickle Bloody Mary was a tangy twist I loved! Overall, a great place to saddle up for a super fulfilling meal.

Guys! You gotta try this place!!! I cannot rant enough about how good this was! We showed up on a Sunday morning, not super early, and only had to wait around 20 minutes. It was crowded, but after tasting everything, I can understand why! I have the privilege of being born on National Eggs Benedict Day (yay, me!) and as a result, a good benny is one of my favorite things!! Not only does Victorian Cafe have good bennies, they have unusual bennies! (Not like strange or anything, just ones that you don't see on other menus!) Our table tried three different selections and the odd ball out (my brand-new son in law) had the sweet potato hash - also scrumptious! I took the liberty of ordering the Elvis French toast for the table to split and yeah... it was super delectable and rich!! Service was great - for being so busy, they were super on top of everything! Friendly and efficient! This is one hoppin' place! I love that the outside "bar" is available for those that are awaiting tables - and the fire pit table is a bonus when it's chilly! All of that to say.... try the Victorian Cafe!!! TODAY! (haha)

While Bend isn't known for cheap eats, this place is pricey for being very average. They are known for their bloody Marys and Benedicts so I've tried a few hoping to find what people rave about. Bloody Mary mix tastes just like a basic store bought mix, a bit more lemon forward flavor which makes it a little sour. They start at $11 and go up to $24 for the novelty Mary with a meatball and novelty sides added. Still just an average drink. The food is okay - generally tasty, basic good flavors, etc. But absolutely nothing special. The biscuits, gravy, muffins, hollandaise tastes store bought. The biscuit and gravy reminded me of a hotel breakfast option. The breakfast potatoes are often partially undercooked and under seasoned. All the dishes I've tried remind me of a basic diner breakfast- good in its own right - but for $18, $20, $25 a plate? Gave it the college try as people keep raving about it but after multiple tries I give up on this place. I'd recommend you pass on this overrated place. Go to a diner or for a more unique great breakfast head to Chow, about a mile away on Newport.

This is a great little café and it looks older, but I like that vintage look in cabin field in the small town. The service was really great and the ambience wasn't noisy at all, and it was really accommodating when you needed something and what not. The food is really good and I highly recommend getting the burger, especially the chicken. Great for lunch or brunch or dinner so come on in if you're stopping by this town in Bend!

Breakfast at Victorian Cafe was wonderful. Our server was very friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious with generous portions. My husband enjoyed the Huevos mazatlan and I enjoyed the hobo potatoes. I chose the scone for my side and it was so good. We were stuffed by the end but wanted to try their pancakes so our server suggested we just order one, which we did and it was also really good. I also recommend the coffee. It was fairly quiet when we went so we were able to chat, which was really nice. We found Victorian Cafe on a list for the best breakfast in Bend, and it did not disappoint!

Monday morning. The place was packed. For good reason-we quickly found 2 seats at the bar and began one of the best breakfast experiences we've had in a long time. From the Bloody Mary, coffee, spicy fried chicken Benedict, banana cream pie French toast, and biscuits and gravy..... all superb! The service was excellent-from the greeter to our server and the others pitching in. Highly recommend.

Wow!! My husband and I came here on a random Monday morning and were so confused as to why it was SO BUSY! We decided to sit at the bar and not wait for a table. The drip coffee was so fresh and had great flavor which immediately impressed us. We ordered our food and when I tell you...it was the best breakfast we have ever had. Made complete sense as to why they were so busy!! It's worth the wait!! I am definitely getting a blood Mary next time though!

Food was so good! The pickle Bloody Mary was so yummy! My husband and I both loved our dishes. They allow dogs outside too! Would come back

Excellent breakfast. Good but slow service. 18% Gratuities automatically added. They don't like cash (attitude).

Nice ambiance and great selection for breakfast. I ordered a half order of the hot chicken Benedict and I will now be craving that until I return! Loved the pickles and perfect size. Solid coffee. Highly recommend checking them out.

Awesome as always, however, the eggs were not poached, a bit on the hard boiled side... must've been an off day in the kitchen. But the ambiance, staff and presentation was wonderful! My favorite spot to visit when I'm passing through Bend.

What a cute place. Dark inside with a bar, and tables in the front and back room. Outdoor lounge and eating area. Our server was very pleasant and prompt. Food was delivered quickly. I had the cinnamon scone instead of toast with the green hornet omelette. The omelette had a bit of kick as it had jalapeños along with spinach, avocado, asparagus, and green scallions. The breakfast potatoes were sliced thin with light seasoning. The scone was freshly baked. I thought it was undercooked but as time went on it seemed to finish baking. We also had the Goofy which seem to be the cheapest thing on the menu yet very fresh and filling. I can see why this place is open n Bend's Top 10. Very comfortable and great quality.

Yummy food and great atmosphere. My go to brunch spot! Friendly staff as well so can't go wrong

We are always up for trying a new place. This time my wife searched Yelp! for a good place for a Saturday Brunch. Victorian Cafe sounded like a good place to try. Waze took us there; but, in my opinion, not by the best route. The very small parking lot was full. We found a spot on the street about a block away. It was a chilly day and we were surprised at the number of hardy souls eating outside. Once in the door we were greeted and quickly added to the waiting list. Almost immediately my phone received a text tells me that we were on the waiting list. Less than 10 minutes later, I received a text notifying me that our table was ready. We were seated at a table for two in a room around the corner from the bar. We were given three menus: specialities, lunch, and breakfast. I was going to ordered the Basic Benedict; but, was distracted but the Hot Chicken Benedict with potatoes. My wife ordered a California Omelette with a scone. We both ordered coffee and small orange juice. The scone was very good. I really liked the potatoes. If you like a spicy breakfast the Hot Chicken Benedict is for you. You might consider the parking situation a negative; but, there seems to be plenty of street parking nearby. My only negative with the food was that the coffee was on the weak side. I like a strong dark roast coffee. We will be returning to Victorian Cafe.

Upscale breakfast. If you are going to pay $20 or more for eggs it should have local moral mushrooms, steak, or even lobster. This place is getting the most they can out of breakfast. Along side their regular menu they have a good rotation of specials. They also have a huge selection of hot sauces and a bar.

The food is "meh", especially considering the price point. Service was good. But I wouldn't go back unless I needed to for something else (birthday, etc).

First time trying this place. Many choices of the wonderful Eggs Benedict. Food was Excellent and worth the wait for a table.

Very unique, excellent food. We got earth harvest Benedict. Sweet potatoes and kale topped with a basil hollandaise sauce. This one was my favorite. Walla Walla Omelet - an omelet with apple and Gorgonzola cheese. Who would have thought to put apple in an omelet but it works. Wheat scone - nice and simple :) I appreciate it wasn't covered in icing. For sides, got potatoes (delicious!) and apple sauce ( which we did not care for.. it was way too sweet for my taste) Over all unique and good food. Excellent services. A little bit of a wait time even on off hour of week day. Not sure how packed this place would be on weekend.

Girl brunch before we left town. We waited 30 minutes before we were seated. Definitely make a reservation. Indoor and outdoor seating options. Limited parking. Service was okay, was around much. The scone was dry. Inside seating is cozy cabin vibes.

For once in my life, if I order pancakes could a person get real maple syrup please? Especially for $15. Other than that the place is great.

Awesome breakfast/brunch spot. Family of 5 waited for 25 minutes for a table. While we waited they let you order coffee, mimosas, or Bloody Mary's at the bar. Pacific Crab Benedict was delicious. Also delicious was the cornflake crusted French toast. Worth the wait!

One can't possibly visit Bend without stopping in for breakfast at the Vic. There's a reason why this restaurant has been voted the #1 place for breakfast in Bend! Not only do they have a vast breakfast menu, they also have awesome specialty drinks. I'd recommend adding your name to the waitlist or dining earlier in the morning to avoid a wait. Luckily, we arrived to the restaurant early in the morning so there was no wait for a table. The most difficult part about dining here is deciding what to order as everything sounds utterly delicious ! We ordered and enjoyed - Carnivore omelet- filled with lots of meat and I loved the house made andouille sausage in the omelet. Big easy Benedict- wow! This dish was tasty and we enjoyed the prawns in the Benny. New England seafood cakes eggs Benedict This was my favorite dish out of the three items we ordered! The seafood cake contained lobster, scallops and shrimp in the Benny. This was a special. If it is available I highly suggest ordering it! Great service and amazing food.. I'm a fan! We will be coming here again on our next visit to Bend.

Great staff - great food - amazing drinks. Fun environment but plan to walk a bit since the parking lot is is tiny.

We were visiting from McMinnville for the weekend and decided to try this restaurant because it was recommended by a couple of people. We knew there would be a wait to get in as it was Sunday and Father's Day. We waited 45 minutes for a table and we're seated and our order was promptly taken within 5 to 10 minutes. That's where it all fell apart. We then proceeded to wait for an hour with still no food. Our waitress came to the table once while we were waiting and brought us some chips, I had to stop one of the people busing tables and ask them if I could have some more coffee and water. After an hour, I walked up to the front and told one of the women working the bar that we would like to leave and cancel our order. She got our waitress who then came to our table and asked us if we would like to cancel our order. We said yes that it had been an hour and we were ready to go. She said sorry turned around and walked away and so we sat there for another five minutes waiting to see if we should pay for our coffee. She never came back to the table. So we got up and left. I've heard that the food is amazing at this place, but we never got to find out. If you go, I would just recommend being prepared to wait and wait and wait.

I had awoken from a drunken slumber with a belly full of Rye Lemondrops and Virgin Daiquiris. After just a wink of sleep, I had an intense and debilitating craving for an eggs benedict. I stumbled upon this spot from a sky mall magazine (I am an American Airlines Executive Platinum member) that I read on the flight into Bend. I had intended to pass out pamphlets for tantric chakra hospice care, but my birkenstock strap busted in the parking lot as I walked towards Victorian Cafe from mustard yellow PT Cruiser (it's new). Let me tell you, those pamphlets were more scrambled than my eggs (i've already gone through menopause). After approaching the establishment with a parking lot as congested as my deviated septum, I was greeted by a sweet lady who put me on the 2 hour waitlist to get in. Because of my height (I am 6'4, and have a fused L2 and L3) I was thankful for the freedom of open air. To my understanding, they do not have Lemondrops, so I was unfortunately dangerously dehydrated. I am not fully literate so they offered to read the menu for me. It's a bit of a hefty menu, which I am extremely grateful for, but my helper got so tired after reading only half of the menu that he had to swap in someone else for the role while he recovered. Let me tell you, the eggnog cheese curds are out of this world (it's a "secret" menu item, just ask your waiter for the Alamo special.) My eyes watered over the neighboring parties onion omelet. As my lips blistered like a shishito pepper on a hot cast iron i quenched my thirst with a cock and bull ginger beer. For about a decade, i've been having intense and personal medical issues related to dehydration. My lips are chronically chapped, which is why I mentioned earlier about not having Lemondrops - no hate on the restaurant but I think it's important for others like me to be aware. My food was fantastic. My eye patch (voluntary) eclipsed my vision a bit but I know even if i were able to see the full plate it would have been a vision to behold. For my fellow optical occlusion friends, it is very dimly lit. I needed to be very careful, especially considering my defunct birkenstocks. I have a habit of taking souvenirs from any travels, and I knew this was going to be a place to remember. I snuck into the men's room after being disinterested in the women's offerings (the dire circumstances in men's bathrooms tends to remind me of my time in county). I spotted a painting above the urinal, but as I peeled the frame from the wall, I heard a knock. I was quick to throw the painting into my Eastpack before leaving. Normally, I would have replaced the missing wall art with something, but since my pamphlets had already scattered in the parking lot, I was unable. Side note unrelated to the food, the bathroom is INCREDIBLY CLEAN. The can even tastes like Lysol! overall all 7 out 38 stars.

Pretty unhappy with the service and food today. The Vic is my favorite restaurant in Bend. However, today my eggs were overdone and the hollandaise was coldish. It took about 20 minutes to get a menu. I sat at the bar. Also, to the owner, please fix the bar for shorter people. The part of the bar that sticks out is ridiculously big. No, I won't stop coming to the Vic, but today was disappointing.

food was very good but when we came in the employees acted like it was a nuisance that we were there. it took 20 minutes for them to even come around and greet us and then only stopped by the table once after that. never came and offered us more water until we were getting up to leave. that's what i get for straying away from mckays cottage!

The wait wasn't that long. We sat outside around a fire pit. Staff provided warm blankets. Service was excellent! Bloody's were delicious, as was each of our brunch selections.

My favorite spot for brunch, in all of bend. My go to is any of their Benedict's,with home fries and a virgin Bloody Mary or a bacon cheeseburger with avocado.

An excellent place for breakfast! Get here early or make a reservation because they are almost always slammed, especially on Saturdays! The Pacific Crab Benedict offers a delicious combo of flavors. I especially like the red peppers. It would be nice to see hatch peppers someday. My only issue with the dish is that it lacks crab meat, there's barely any included which is quite unfortunate.
