This list is fueled by some of the best people in Bend, great people serving our community through good food. The common thread…GOOD BREAD! New York City Sub Shop has mastered the art of baking fresh bread daily in-house. A few years ago, we showed up to grab a late afternoon sandwich from NYCSS, it was past 3pm, and when we showed up, there was a sign on the door that said, “out of bread, closed for the day”. I walked in and asked what’s up with running out of bread. Andrew, the owner, politely let me know that they make their bread fresh daily, when its gone, its gone. I respect that, and i’ve been coming back ever since that “we ran out of bread” day. There are a few other spots in Bend that operate that way, and I LOVE IT! Our friends at Valentine’s are laser-focused on top-notch ingredients and have outsourced their bread stuff to one of Bend’s finest bakers, Sparrow Bakery. The Sparrow hogie roll is quite possibly the best on planet earth. We buy them in bags of four from Newport Avenue Market for making sandwiches at home. Look for them next time your at Market of Choice or Newport.
We’d love to know which sandwich spot is your favorite…and here are ours!
#1 Valentine’s Deli - link to site
#2 NYCSS - link to site
#3 Blue Eyes Burgers and Fries - link to site (formerly Neighbor Rotisserie). Yes, we know burgers aren’t sandwiches, but maybe they are. Who are you to say they are not? Life’s too short to not eat burgers, err…a beefy inspired sandwich for lunch. Lol.

My wife is a teacher in Bend and each year we seem to find a gift card stuffed into a thank you note from the owners of Valentine’s. These folks love and support our local educators, and they make a seriously good sandwich.
Our favorite…the only sandwich I ever order, is the hot italian. Friends I eat with order the Alburquerque or Ranch Hand. Every sandwich on the menu is incredible. Valentine’s has mastered the art of keeping things simple, using great meat and veggies on delicious bread from Sparrow Bakery.
Hot Italian 🐖
Toasted pepperoni, salami, hot capicola, ham, and provolone cheese on a Sparrow hoagie, topped with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, and pepperoncini. Juiced up with mayo and house red wine vinaigrette

Andrew and his team have been in Bend for a long time, since before Bend had more than 10,000 people. Conveniently located off Third Street, next to Ace and Safeway, this spot is a MUST-VISIT when in Bend. My favorite is a Manhatten, light on peppers, no tomato, served hot. When they ask if you’d like the sandwich hot, say yes, they grill everything up on their flat top, then carefully place it onto their soft bread. The process is systematic, everything is consistent, down to how each sandwich is cut, wrapped, and delivered.
If you’re in town and wanna grab lunch, I’m buying. If you live in Bend and wanna catch up over lunch, I’m buying.
Just call or text me “sandwich” and I’m in for a trip to NYCSS. Your sandwich is on me.

We have a few! Lone Pine is at the top of our list. Not only are the coffee and Liège waffles delicious…, but the owner, Scott, is the best. We typically pick up a weekly bag of Scott’s Heartwood blend for home brewing.

We’ve spent a lot of time with Scott over the past few years, yes, in the coffee shop, but mostly on the pool deck. Our kids play water polo together. Scott is generous, thoughtful, and kind. A visit to Lone Pine in Bend is an absolute must when you are here, check out either location, both are great!
