It’s no secret that food carts dominate the food scene in Bend and Central Oregon. But what if you could enjoy a food cart lot-style dining experience… inside? Enter, the Market Hall at The Grove in Bend.
Modeled after popular marketplaces in food epicenters like Seattle, San Francisco, and Napa, The Grove’s smaller-scale gathering hub offers communal seating and gathering with a combined nine counters, bars, and markets serving everything from Boba tea and coffee to Thai and Mediterranean cuisines, respectively.
Situated in the heart of Northwest Crossing, the Market Hall anchors The Grove’s block-wide buildings. Year-round, locals and visitors flock to diverse restaurant counters and food options, allowing everyone to choose their own cuisine du jour.
Here, we’ll cover each corner of The Grove and highlight menus, favorite dishes, seasonal specials, and community events.
Thump Coffee
Take your coffee to go or hang out at The Grove with a cup of specialty coffee from Thump. All drinks are made with Thump’s in-house roasted beans, like Storm King, North Fork, and Ethiopia Natural. The Grove’s Market Hall is the third location for Thump Coffee in Bend.
Thump’s coffee shop offers housemade pastries from their nearby (just a few blocks away!) roastery and bakery. A popular gathering hub, Thump’s corner spot at The Grove is great for networking groups, doing a little remote work, or catching up with friends.
What we love
Spicy Mayan Mocha. This twist on Mexican hot chocolate will warm you up with its harmonious blend of espresso, cocoa, and spices.
Open: Daily from 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Good Egg
Breakfast just got more exciting with the addition of Good Egg! As The Grove’s newest food counter, Good Egg brings a fun twist to your typical breakfast sandwich.
Inspired by iconic Asian breakfast street sandwiches served across Southeast Asia, Good Egg in Bend serves loaded sandwiches on brioche stuffed with fluffy scrambled eggs and savory additions.
Indulge in Asian varieties like beef Bulgogi and tofu katsu. Or, go for fried chicken with Good Egg’s signature mayo. Gluten-free friends can enjoy loaded breakfast tots with scrambled eggs and Good Egg sauce.
What we love
Spicy Korean Pork. Good Egg’s classic sandwich with spicy BBQ pork, fluffy eggs, kimchi, cilantro, and signature mayo.
Open: Daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Waypoint BBC
Call them the pioneers of The Grove’s Market Hall, if you will. Waypoint BBC, a spin-off from Bend Brewing Co., was the first spot to open at The Grove during its construction.
The vibe at Waypoint BBC is modern and industrial yet cozy and welcoming. With outdoor patio fire pits and intimate two-seater booths, it’s easy to snuggle up with a seasonal cocktail after a day on the slopes—casual enough for post-hike sipping, but chic enough for a pre-dinner cocktail or date.
Now, these are not your grandmother’s cocktails. Think libations with mixers like lavender, lychee, and serrano. Carajillo by Morning serves a spin on the classic espresso martini with tequila, vanilla, and cinnamon, while the Cultivar combines spicy vodka, Cachaça, elderflower, grapefruit, and marionberry. Come for Locals’s Day on Tuesday, stay for the weekday happy hour from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
What we love
Good as Gold. Sip on this seasonal cocktail of bourbon, lavender, orange blossom, honey, and lemon while bundled up around the fire pit with friends, or enjoy it as a grown-up dessert after dinner at one of The Grove’s restaurant counters.
Open: Sunday through Friday from Noon til “late”; Saturday from 11 a.m. til “late”
Jackson’s Outpost (Jackson’s Corner)
One of Bend’s staple restaurants has an “express” counter in The Grove, serving their signature pizza, pasta, and salads. You’ll find Jackson’s Corner’s scratch-made, locally sourced dishes for both lunch and dinner, including their signature sourdough pizza and hand-rolled pasta.
What’s better, you can grab pizza by the slice for a quick lunch, get your favorite pasta dish made gluten-free, and turn any of their signature salads into a wrap. Plus, Jackson’s offers a dedicated kids’ menu for smaller portions of pasta and snacks.
What we love
Steak Sandwich. Served hot, this steak sandwich is sourced beef from local Pitchfork T Ranch and served over a Sparrow hoagie with blue cheese mayo, grilled onions, mozzarella, and fresh arugula.
Open: Daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Shimshon x Barrio
Two Bend favorites come together to combine their flavors from the Mediterranean to Mexico. Shimshon, known for its Israeli street food offerings, serves a menu that combines plates from the original food cart with its sibling food cart, Barrio.
We’re talking chicken shawarma tacos, warm stuffed pita with your choice of protein, and green chile Caesar salad.
Savory sides like fried plantains with Tajín and mango sauce pair excellently with any dish, and desserts like the chocolate chip tahini cookie and churros with chocolate sauce offer a sweet finale. Colder months will feature specialty soups and weekday specials from 3-5 p.m.
What we love
Barrio Burger. East meats West with this Waygu beef burger! Served on a Sparrow bun, it’s loaded with bacon-tomato jam, pickled red onions, feta cheese, chile aioli, leafy greens, and a side of za’atar fries. Still, it’s a toss-up, with the chicken shwarma tacos coming in at a very close second fave.
Open: Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
ThaiPas
Chef Prang honors her family and heritage with classic Thai dishes from both Northern and Southern Thailand. You’ll find popular dishes like Pad Thai and Tom Yum Soup, along with specialties like Som Tum (green papaya salad) and Khao Soi (coconut curry noodle soup).
Pumpkin lovers can enjoy some super savory specials like pumpkin potstickers in a yellow curry sauce and, of course, pumpkin curry.
One of the best ways to savor ThaiPas offerings is to choose a few courses, like pineapple fried rice and Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles), and share with friends to get a taste of everything.
What we love
Pad Kapow Gai Kai Doa (spicy Thai basil stir-fry). Chicken or pork stir-fry with bell pepper, onions, Thai basil, and fresh chili, all topped with a fried egg.
Open: Daily from 11:30 to 8 p.m.
Phở Viet & Cafe
What better way to cozy up this fall and winter than with a huge bowl of Phở? Long-standing Phở Viet & Cafe recently expanded with a Phở and boba tea bar inside The Grove Market Hall, serving dozens of tea varieties, soup, and Bánh Mì.
If you’re new to Boba (like we were), here’s how it works:
Start with your drink preference, such as smoothie, milk tea, or fruit tea. Then, choose your flavor like peach smoothie, blueberry lemonade, or lavender milk tea, etc. Finally, pick your Boba! These chewy tapioca pearls include flavors like green apple pops, pomegranate pops, and kiwi pops.
What we love
Iced matcha milk tea with sweet boba. It’s great on a warm or cold day and can be made hot if you need cozying up. Of course, this goes great with their Bun Bo Hue (spicy beef and pork Phở bowl).
Open: Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Sebastian’s Seafood & Specialty Market
You can dine, shop, and sample at Sebastian’s Seafood, the corner market and café in The Grove. Sebastian’s offers a top-destination specialty seafood market for Bendites. Their seafood case includes a variety of fresh seafood like wild-caught king salmon, Chilean seabass, steelhead, and live manila clams.
Grab in-house prepared pokes like spicy shoyu, wasabi, and crispy onion pokes. And, their deli case serves grab-and-go options like smoked green chili salmon spread, seaweed salad, and seasoned squid.
Adjacent to the market, their café makes sought-after Hawaiian breaded shrimp platter, Shoyu Shoyu poke nachos, and made-fresh-daily clam chowder.
What we love
Taco Tuesday Specials. Choose either Mahi Mahi or shrimp tacos, but we strongly suggest the Mahi Mahi. Regularly $14 for a plate of three tacos, Tuesday specials are just $10 for the trio.
Open: Market is open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Sunday until 6:30 p.m.; Café is open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Sunday until 7 p.m.; and for breakfast Thursday through Sunday from 7 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
Elly’s Ice Cream
You don’t have to save the best (sweets) for last, because Elly’s Ice Cream starts scooping at noon every day! With more than 65 seasonal and rotating flavors, you’ll be coming back for more.
Elly’s sources ingredients locally as often as possible, including baked goods and ice cream toppings. Known for their playful flavors like Cookie Monster, PB&J, and Trail Mix, Elly’s is a hot spot for families and kids craving something fun.
Holiday flavors start showing up during the cooler months, satisfying the sweet tooth craving for flavors like butter pecan, pumpkin spice pecan, and maple walnut. While they offer scoops in your choice of cup or cone (including house-made waffle cones), Elly’s makes eye-catching specialty sundaes like Gone Glamping, complete with a stick of toasted marshmallows.
What we love
Specialty Shakes. Cookie Crumble and Cereal Shake top the list of our favorite shakes, but you can choose and flavor(s) ice cream to design your own!
Open: Daily from Noon to 9 p.m.
