Mother's Cafe - Bend, Oregon

I'm not the biggest fan of healthy breakfast food places, but this one honestly offers really good options. They have options for smaller meals such as bagels with sides or smoothies. However, you can also get a well-made breakfast sandwich here too with fresh ingredients. The prices can be rather high, but they're on trend with similar restaurants in the Portland metro area, and the quality is just as good as in the city, if not better. They serve some of the best oatmeal I've ever had, flavored with chai and made to perfection. Limited coffee selection, but what they have is tasty. It's pretty casual inside without too much service, and I feel a bit of snobbiness from the place, but overall it's comfortable and clean, a good cafe for early food.

Ordered a large range of things off the menu this morning. Everything was so delicious, fresh, and packed with healthy ingredients. Staff were really friendly and helpful all while trying to keep up with orders!

Stopped in while visiting town and SO GLAD we did! I had the little bear smoothie and the turkey Everest in a GF tortilla and both were amazing. The tortilla was a little stiff but it tasted good and was a welcomed option, if I lived closer I'd definitely be a regular! The staff were all very nice and were very efficient as it was packed busy when we got there and you wouldn't have known it with how quickly or order came out. Definitely worth the stop even if they look crazy busy.

The prices are way too high for an average smoothie, the people taking your order are obnoxious and the owner of the place and his girlfriend have very little respect and consideration for the people in the community in which they live. Spend your money elsewhere. I'll never be back.

We placed our mobile order of Renees Roasted Chicken, Perfectly sunny with bacon and gouda cheese, and a Nuttin Honey drink.

Did not receive our order, after placing it 20 minutes before hand. Once we have received the order we were told they were out of Renees Roasted Chicken after knowing we had placed an order and waited for the amount of time, so we decided to get the sunrise wrap waited another 20 minutes got the wrap which was half the size it originally is.

After getting our Sunrise Wrap and Perfectly sunny we waited in the pick up area cause we had our drink, we waited and waited until one of the employees came up and asked why we are still waiting. We told him about the drink and the employee proceeded to say "oh yeah I forgot about that too, sorry I gave that to someone else" and as I look around there's someone eating that I remembered that said they received the wrong drink too, which apparently was my drink.

So we waited for the drink and at the end they also made an extra drink by mistake and we were like maybe they were going to give it to us since we waited for a very long time and made mistakes on our order, but nope we didn't get it and had already paid extra cause they didn't give us the money back for the price difference of the Roasted chicken ($15) and Sunrise wrap ($11)

We get back home to enjoy our meal after this whole mishap and I proceed to open my Perfectly sunny and find they didn't put the gouda cheese or bacon in it ($3 extra). I realized also that they didn't give us the fruit that comes with the sunrise wrap. We tipped 15% which was $6 since you have to tip before receiving the order on mobile card pay. wish we could take that back that's for sure.

All in all, worst experience I've had in the food industry and I've worked in this profession all my life, and understand mistakes happen, but this was way too many for what is acceptable. I will not be coming back to Mother's Eastside or Westside Kitchen due to this experience. I'm honestly only writing this review cause I'm angry and appalled, but if you like the food which I did and have not experienced something like this with them go and still eat there, its just my experience that I wanted to share.

*TLDR: Ordered food here, had to wait an extra hour, told us they didnt have one of the food items we ordered got something else, didn't receive money back for difference, forgot to make drinks, didn''t receive the paid extras we requested on our items.

Sign says open Mon-Sat 8-3. Here at 2:40 for a quick smoothie and doors are locked with staff inside.

Edit: Today (August 3rd) at Eastside location. Sorry for the review but this isn't the first time this has happened to me at that location where doors were locked early. I wasn't planning on getting food, just my regular 'Nuttin Honey ' which takes less than 5 minutes to make.

I noticed another review that had same issue on a Saturday when that customer showed up at 2:30. Why not change your store hours if this is a frequent issue?
