Order A Dirty Hippie Or Green Monkey Smoothie At This Quirky Oregon Coffee House

When it comes to a killer cup of coffee in Oregon, there are myriad options. The Pacific Northwest is known for its coffee, and there are lots of local places where you can find a great cuppa. But there's one place in Bend that stands out both for its unique offerings and delightful ambiance. And that's the Looney Bean, a coffee roaster and shop in Bend, Oregon that makes your ordinary cup of joe totally extraordinary.

The Pacific Northwest is known for its amazing coffee, boasting some of the most amazing local roasters and independent coffee shops in the country.

So it's difficult to stand out from the (caffeinated) crowd. But the Looney Bean in Bend, Oregon manages to do just that.

Since opening in 1992, this quirky little coffee shop in Bend has made a name for itself as a warm and welcoming community hub.

The shop is located in a beautiful little corner of Bend, complete with its own backyard -- with a view!

Folks come all year-round to grab a cup of coffee and congregate in this lovely area, which is dog-friendly too, by the way.

But it's not just the views that make this coffee shop special; their menu features truly unique offerings you won't find anywhere else.

Pumpkin spice latte? So basic. How about a Blended Pumpkin Pie Dirty Hippie? This seasonal favorite is made with real pumpkin purée, topped with homemade espresso whipped cream and a dash of pumpkin spice sprinkles.

And by the way, unlike some big-name coffee chains, the Looney Bean roasts their own coffee beans, and also hand-makes their own espresso.

The result is a perfectly smooth, made-with-love, cup of joe. (Or, in this case, cup of dirty hippie.)

For most people, coffee is a non-negotiable daily ritual. So why not make it fun? The Looney Bean is a delightful little spot that's sure to be a bright and delightful point in your day!
