I recently stopped by The Bend At Sugar River in Sunapee and was thoroughly impressed. The food is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast, lunch, or a quick coffee, everything is prepared with care and attention to detail. The breakfast sandwiches are especially outstanding, and the homemade baked goods are hard to resist. What really sets this place apart is the atmosphere. Nestled along the Sugar River, it offers a beautiful setting with outdoor seating and a warm, welcoming interior. The staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely make you feel at home from the moment you walk through the door. The Bend is more than just a deli—it's a community gathering spot that combines excellent food, local charm, and outstanding hospitality. If you're in the Lake Sunapee area, it's absolutely worth a visit. Highly recommended!

We had such a wonderful girls’ weekend, and one of the absolute highlights was lunch at The Bend at Sugar River. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, welcoming, and attentive without ever feeling rushed. The food was outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish we tried was delicious, and you could tell real care went into both the menu and presentation. What truly made the experience unforgettable was the view. Sitting by the water with great food, great company, and such a relaxing atmosphere made for the perfect New Hampshire getaway. It’s the kind of place you immediately start recommending to friends before you’ve even left the parking lot. We honestly can’t say enough good things about it and will absolutely be back the next time we’re in Sunapee.

This place is fantastic. We went three times during our weekend in the area. Breakfast sandwiches (especially on the port muffin) were awesome; Italian sub was delicious as well. All the food was great though. And a great spot by the river too!!

Great deli with very friendly and helpful employees. Beautiful outdoor seating as well. I have a number of food allergies so they prepared my sandwich in a separate pan. The deli is so good I returned a few days later. My sandwich was done just before the fire alarm was activated. The staff handled the issue really well and evacuated the deli. My sandwich tasted just as good in the parking lot as it did on the patio on my previous visit!

Just moved to the area, looking for a new spot for our Saturday coffee dates, when we came across the Bend! The location is amazing right on the river, the atmosphere and barn feeling fits right in! We walked in and the staff was so friendly and let us take our time reading through the menu, (I hate being rushed) we both got coffees, and sat for a minute just admiring. Coffee was very pleasing, super tasty. One of the staff members offered us a little steak and cheese to split and try, after my spouse was literally drooling over it when she walked by, and WOW it was absolutely amazing! I will say we definitely found our new spot! We sat outside for a minute just admiring all the ducks in the pond, perfect for a sunny winter day like today! Have nothing but truly amazing things to say about this place, and fantastic first impression!
