Paradise Bakery & Cafe

Breakfast sandwiches are great. My favorite is the asiago cheese bagel breakfast sandwich. I add sausage to my sandwich. The brownies and cookies here are great, too. My favorite brownie is the cheesecake brownie. Salad station is great also as they allow you to build your own salad.

I got a half and half sandwich and salad combo. I asked for the blue cheese crumble salad and the club sandwich.
The salad was old wedge lettuce (literally browning) and sunflower seeds and raisins. It was gross.
The sandwich was one side of turkey, ham and two pieces of microwaved bacon along work lettuce and tomatoe. No cheese, no condiments… since when is that a club?
It was bad. Oh no wait… the cookie was good.

This location is kind of a bummer. I went 30 minutes before closing last week and they already shut down the food line (placed sign/​ready-​to-​purchase desserts in front of the order line). Tonight I went back and they were out of soba noodle bowls. There is something wrong with the management.

Very bad experience. To start, they had no bread left? One family needed help with finding non soy products but it took three people to figure it out. The line could of gone a lot smoother than it did. After, they did not even apologize for making us wait an extra 20 minutes. Will not be returning and very disappointed. My sandwich also tasted like horse crap with a hint of ass…

First time here. Came in with my partner. Staff was friendly enough, but not entirely helpful when it came to the menu. Partner approached counter to order for us and was confused about the pick 2 option (he thought the three options denoted the sizes of small, medium, and large, and was thrown off by the fact that pick 2 was cheaper than a half sandwich and misread the sign), but no one wanted to answer his question. To echo someone else’s review on this page, they just sort of stared at him.
Still confused, and wanting to be able to share with me and eat now because we were starving, he ended up getting a full sized steak and cheese panini. That was a mistake. It was basically bread. $ 9 for bread with almost nothing inside it. The meat inside was reduced to a teeny, thin slice in each half of the sandwich. It was so tiny it barely covered half of a half sandwich. My stomach cried; why not cover the whole bread? Is there a meat shortage? If I could describe its thickness, I would say it was maybe the thickness of a house key or two? I was just flabbergasted that for a $ 9ish sandwich, they were so stingy on the meat. It was a nearly empty, lonely set of bread slices. The skinny slab of meat did taste fine, but we left hungry and unsatisfied.
I forgot to mention– they pushed a buy one, get one free cookie deal on him, but failed to mention that the meal already comes with a cookie. I know that is a given to people who’ve already gone to Paradise, but we didn’t know? Well, for all those who love cookies, you might still be able to take advantage of the deal if it’s still going on.
I do want to add– there was a man there who I had separately ordered a smoothie from, and he was very nice and helpful. He took my order and brought the smoothie directly to me. The smoothie was tasty and helped me refocus on my work.
Anyway, I wonder if my feelings would be different if a different sandwich was chosen. If I ever return again, we will see.

I ordered the half sandwich with a soup. The chicken wild rice soup was delicious! Very hearty and creamy, with sweet pieces of carrot. The chicken salad sandwich was also very good. The bread is what makes this sandwich a 5. I washed it down with a refreshing hibiscus tea and ended the meal with macadamia nut cookie. I will be coming back!

I’m a fan of Paradise Bakery. I’ve had hit or miss experiences at different locations, but that happens. The Mac and Cheese is definitely one of the best items on the menu!

The food is ordinary to mediocre; the service is hit or miss… some employees are great but there are an astonishing number that don’t seem to realize their job description includes «serving the customers.»
In response to slipping on the floor in front of the soda dispenser during a «Lunch Bunch» foray, and losing my full-​sized salad to the floor, my salad was «complimentary» replaced by a smaller size and I was given a coupon by corporate worth $ 25.
Out of desperation, the night before leaving for a week-​long out-​of-​state camping trip, I went to cash in my $ 25 coupon but lo and behold!!! it is only good at Panera locations (parent company of Paradise Bakery) and Paradise Bakery refused to honor it. Because it was late, we were hungry, and they were standing there with my order in a bag trying to hand it to me, I just paid for it and took it home.
The final nail in the coffin: They didn’t make the sandwiches right. There were no sun-​dried tomatoes at all and the bacon had to be seen with a microscope.
With choices like Kneaders and Zupas Café available, I don’t know why anyone would go there. Next time the Lunch Bunch decides to go there, I will eat solo somewhere else.

I generally have decent experiences with Paradise Bakery, however it was my first time in this location, and the lady who I was greeted by was clearly very «over» her job for the day. I was standing in front of the menu when she walked up to her register and stared at me. I told her I couldn’t decide between a bagel or a sandwich to which she replied «Well breakfast is over so you can get bagels and scones» … I hadn’t mentioned breakfast besides a bagel. There was a lady standing next to me with her daughter waiting to order, she asked if we were together. When we told her no, she rolled her eyes and let out a big sigh and took their order of a bagel and prepared it. The lady and her daughter took a seat, so when she turned around to ask if it was for here or to go and they weren’t there, she rolled her eyes once again and muttered «uh ok then.» Also, It wasn’t a huge deal, but I did feel that she could have taken my order and let me go pay after she put the bagel into toast, instead of completely preparing it. The other employees were nice, and my chicken tortellini Alfredo was good, and I also had a half sandwich (roasted turkey and avocado BLT) so I don’t want to rate too low, the lady in the bakery area could just use some people skills.

Pfffftttttt… ordered the scrambled egg breakfast with bacon and toast.
The eggs… terrible.
Bacon…its the PRE COOKED bacon… I HAVE THIS AT HOME!
Toast…1 piece and from the smallest loaf in the history of bread.
I only came to kill an hour and use the WiFi.
Go somewhere else for a real breakfast.

The name says it all ~ and who wouldn’t want Paradise for lunch? This location is conveniently located on Ray Road just east of the 101 freeway. Lots of seating indoors and out, always clean and the staff is very friendly. I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad meal here. Fresh ingredients for salads and sandwiches and daily soups make for a tough decision on what to eat. I love the southwest ceasar chicken salad (though I make a few additions and they never have a problem doing so) and the turkey club sandwich. It’s all good! The best thing are all the bakery items ~ brownies, muffins, scones and of course the cookies! Bonus ~ get a free cookie with your meal. They also offer BOGO cookie with any meal ordered. My kids have ordered the smoothies in the past and love them and they also have coffee in several different forms, hot, blended & iced. It’s all good!

I tried one of the two new broth bowls Paradise is promoting. The lentil quinoa bowl was just okay tasting and even with the egg prepared just right, I still wouldn’t pay… get this…$ 8.19 for it again! Yikes! When did Paradise Bakery move their prices into the table service level? In my opinion, this smaller serving of a meal in their soup department does not warrant the price.

On my list of all-​time faves, the food never disappoints! Awesome variety of salads, soups & sandwiches, breakfast items, breads, the best cookies to be had outside of my own kitchen… I could eat here every day. They come up with new items regularly, all of which I’ve enjoyed, like flatbread sandwiches (try the BBQ chicken) and the Soba Noodle Bowl (so savory). The only thing I dislike is that the seasonal items I love are just that… seasonal. Can’t stand the wait for their return, like turkey chili, so delicious, which will be retired soon, and lemon cookies, from heaven!

In a day and age of gluten-​free everywhere you’d think this place would be aware or have options. I do thank the manager for looking. Its funny I try to before I visit a place bit nothing on Web site either. Still great place for a salad, always

Food is fine. Same as any other Paradise Bakery.
I wanted to comment on the Internet though. If you’re coming here to study, and you like streaming music while you work to get your groove on, get ready for lots of interrupted music :(I can’t even connect very well to Google docs/​sheets which is very annoying. I would move, but don’t want to pay for another coffee at another spot.
Thank goodness I can hotspot my phone!
On the plus side, coffee has free refills here so you can caffeinate yourself until you burst while you work.

Paradise Bakery can usually satisfy anyone’s lunch cravings. Between sandwiches, salads and soups they have quite the selection. This spot also offers a wide variety of beverages and pastries and has tons of seating, indoors and outside.
Our group offered a wide variety of items and everything was fresh and flavorful. The cookies were delicious and the iced coffee was pleasantly strong in flavor and refreshing. Service could have been a bit more friendly but otherwise a great visit.

The best place to hang out with friend over breakfast and business meeting over lunch. It’s clean and crowded, but the environment is just cozy enough to sit for a long time. Free refill coffee makes it perfect.
The only downside is that their wi-​fi is really slow and unstable.

Fresh sandwiches, salads, soups… and cookies!
I’m a big fan of paradise bakery. Consistently a good choice for lunch or dinner. I order the Pick 2: Half Sandwich/​half salad. Or soup. I think you can get pasta too. The Bacon Turkey Bravo and the Paradise Club are my favorite sandwiches and the best part is they’re served with a guilt free cookie. It’s like whoops, I guess I HAVE to eat this cookie that came free with my sandwich.
The salads are big too. The Fuji Apple is excellent, but I’ve been impressed with everything I’ve tried. They load you up with lots of fruit and mix it up in front of you.
Also, in case you didn’t know, PB is in the same family as Panera Bread. Happy eating!

I arrived for a late lunch. Service was prompt and the restaurant was clean. Free wifi is always greatly appreciated. The yummy cookie to complete the meal us yummy and hard to resist. As usual for PB, the food was fresh and tasty. I love the multiple iced tea options, mango being my personal favorite.
One confusing note: what’s with all the 15 min only parking outside the restaurant? Who can order and eat in 15 min? The other tenants are a pizza place, kids play land and laser hair removal. Can any of these be done in 15 min? Boggles me.
I do have one thing that bothers me about PB that keeps me frequenting Wildflower as my first option and PB as an emergency only backup. If I order a salad with my pick 2, minus the meat, I feel like there should be a price reduction. I don’t care if it’s only $.50 but it bugs me to pay $ 11 for a cup of soup or ½ sandwich and half salad when the salad is lettuce, dressing, a sprinkle of cheese and some nuts or whatnot.

I come tho this PB location mostly because my mom likes to have lunch here. I’ve had decent experiences here in terms of food and service but not today. Today SERVICE SUCKED!!!
As a party of three we ordered an 1 Asian Oriental Salad, 1 Chicken Walnut Sandwich, 1 half Cesar salad and 1 cup of Mac and Cheese.
1. They gave my mom a Southwestern Salad instead of the Asian Oriental Salad so she had to wait in line AGAIN and ask them to make the correct one.
2. There was hardly any dressing on my Cesar Salad and when they brought that out they took the little number away and didn’t come back with any more food.
3. This means I had to go up and ask for my mac and cheese which they gave me and it was VERY SOUPY. I’m a big and mac girl and it was my first time trying it at PB so I was incredibly disappointed in this crap.
4. At this point I explained to the manager on duty how much the service had sucked and that we were still waiting for that Chicken Walnut Salad. She quickly made it herself and gave it to me without saying anything.
I’m not one to start a scene so we ate our food and left. On the way out…
5. The root beer tasted like crap, something must’ve been up with the machine.
Thanks for nothing PB on Ray, I will take my business elsewhere.
