For goodness sake it's dessert. It should be fun. It should be simple. And it should be good. At Bontà, our ice cream is just that. We blend the NW's finest ingredients with those of more exotic locales into small, hand-crafted batches of creamy fresh gelato.

Q:
Do you offer samples for the indecisive?? ;)
A:
As many as you would like! Try the whole case if you would like. Enjoy!
Corey O., Business Owner2 years agoQ:
Do you guys have any vegan options?
A:
We do! We always have a minimum of four vegan options, but sometimes up to seven. We use organic coconut milk and have water-based sorbettos. We are also looking at making some new oat milk flavors.

We saw it was packed the night before and knew we needed to try this place, so we decided to pop in the next day. As it was a cute little place with beautiful decor, this place allows for indoor and outdoor seating.
Offering specialty flavors, which they have year round, and seasonal flavors, I opted to try their Passionfruit flavor and my partner got the lavender flavor.
Both were delicious! The passionfruit tasted so fresh and almost forgot I was eating gelato. The lavender was light and had a great scent to it as well, it gave us early summer vibes.
Would definitely recommend this place and come back whenever we're in the area!Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - Nov 9, 2023

One of the best ice cream shops out there!
If you are lactose intolerant, their vegan ice cream selections are delicious!!!
Definitely give this place a try if you have not yet done so! Worth it!!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Apr 20, 2024
Located in Downtown Bend. There can be a line and the line moves relatively fast. They let you sample as many flavors as you like. I sampled so many and they all tasted really good ... even the vegan ones. I think the price of the gelato is also very reasonable. A small is good to share for 2 people after dinner :)

Oh man this gelato is DELICIOUS! Perfectly creamy, you really can't go wrong with any flavor you pick. My favorites are strawberry and honey, and Dulce de luche. Yummy!! Also they let you get 2 flavors with a small and 3 with a regular so you can try multiple flavors which is amazing for indecisive people like me.

On a recommendation from friends, we tried Bontà, we weren't disappointed. Two great attributes of any food establishment; great tasting product and friendly customer service. Bobità delivered on both.
I ordered the Strawberry + Honey and my wife ordered the Peanut Butter Fudge. Both were delicious!!!
Service was outstanding, extremely friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable about each of their gelato offerings. We loved it so much, we returned the following day to try different flavorsHelpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 1 - Jul 26, 2023
My son and I were in Bend for a day trip and since it was a nice sunny day, an inspiration to have a nice cooling dessert was in order, so after some looking we came across this place.
The atmosphere is nice and rustic. The staff was super helpful and friendly. I had the combination of Dulce De Leche and Stracciatella, both were awesome in taste and texture.
If in Bend, definitely gonna return.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Dec 27, 2023
Both of our adult kids recommended this place and we were happy they did. Not too busy considering they have great ratings and lots of good choices. You can get two flavors in a small and up to three in the medium or large. Very delicious gelato!

My favorite gelato place in Bend. All the gelato taste so creamy and flavorful. I really loved the passion fruit vanilla. $5 for a "single" scoop but their scoops are pretty jammed packed.
If I ever live in Bend, this place would have my money every night.Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - Nov 11, 2023
This is an absolute must stop when we are in Bend. The gelato is amazing, decadent, and elevated from your normal offerings. Samples are limited, so choose wisely. Do yourself a favor and get multiple flavors or try a flight. Seating is very limited, so you will likely need to wait to enter, take your gelato to go and wander the adorable downtown area. Service is always so friendly and happy to answer any questions.
