9 reviews for Paradise Bakery Inc
This is the only location I've found that carries the one thing I actually like... it's the Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap. I love it. I've had the same thing elsewhere, and at other places the dressing pools or drips and makes me want to vomit. Somehow, they make it perfectly. I don't know why they don't carry it elsewhere, but they should.
I love that they give you a cookie and their fudge is unbelievable. I think they have great dessert treats, but their bread doesn't really impress me.
We used to have a great bakery in the valley when I was growing up... La Petite Boulangerie near the Biltmore. I loved that place... croissants filled with assorted jellies and chocolates and cheeses... soft rich buttery breads of all sorts... mmm. Sometime in 1993 or so, La Petite Boulangerie was absorbed by Java City after a corporate merger and we never really got a suitable replacement that I'm aware of.
Every place I find sells shitty dry artisan breads. Why is that stuff so popular? It all tastes stale, isn't any better for you, and is difficult to chew.
The breads at Paradise don't thrill me either. I haven't tried their soups (cuz I'm not a soup person) and I'm not interested in their sandwiches (since I'm not into their bread). I would've given this place a 3, but I just love that wrap enough to give it an extra star (though it may not quite deserve it).
I'm still searching for a good bakery in the valley... I'll let you know if I find one.
I am rating the cookies only.
They are some of the best I've tasted.
The Oatmeal Raisin are so good. There's also Chocolate Chip, a lemon cookie, and others to choose from. They are not rock hard. Instead, they're a bit soft and chewy. And they're HUGE! Since there are no locations in Northern California, I take back a box to share. Located at a few Arizona malls, they have one at Sky Harbor Airport, too.
There are a number of these around town and I have been in no rush whatsoever to go to one. My impression was that it was going to be another healthy salad and sandwich type of restaurant, which isn't normally my style.
I was right about it being a sandwich and salad place, but what I didn't anticipate is that it might serve really good sanwiches and salads.
Between us, my girlfriend and I had a tomato soup (which was like a healthier version of a tortilla soup and without chicken), a bleu cheese salad with cranberries, a panini, and some cookies. All were delicious. I had a chicken and artichoke panini that, forgive me for saying this, was totally off the chain.
The cookie at the end only confirmed my suspicions. I was way off about this place being bad mall food. I'll be back.
I have to give this place only three stars b/c most of their food is quite bland to me. Personally, Panera Bread kicks their ass all day but we don't have Panera in the valley, sadly. I do like this place for namely three reasons: the fire roasted tomato soup, the walnut chicken salad sandwich and the chocolate chip cookies they give you when you order food! I do try new things on the menu but seem to find myself let down. All in all most locations are clean.
I am still dreaming of a day when Panera Bread comes to the Valley!
No. I just don't dig this place. Maybe because i'm a vegetarian, and there are only, like, two things on the menu I can eat. Their veggie sandwich has this mustard-bile spread on it that doesn't strike my fancy.
Two stars because it isn't poison (I would eat there if I had to) and you get a one of their delicious cookies with your sandwich.
In my opinion, this is one of the better places to get a sandwich in the Valley. Everything is made to order. There is quite a large selection of sandwiches, wraps, salads, fresh fruit, soups, and of course, cookies. They just added a portabello veggie sandwich to the menu, which is quite good. Lots of fresh veggies, rich chewy grainy bread, avocados and roasted mushrooms. Yum. I'm a picky eater, especially when it comes to sandwiches, and I have always liked Paradise. This location in particular is very large with lots of seating and a full breakfast menu.
Paradise Bakery has great sandwiches and they're prepared fresh right in front of you- so that's always a bonus. The bread is really good and most meals come with a cookie...hoooray!
You order at the counter and your meal is served up very quickly, depending on how long the line is.
I always get the veggie sandwich and it's delish- except for the mustard. I always have to ask for none to be put on mine because I think it's sick. Other than that, this place is great!
This place is an excellent joint to get a good lunch on the go. I had the tuna sando and it rocked. Lots to choose from on the menu and lots of healthy options if that is your bag. Oh the sites are quite unreal..in fact, they arent real!!
I have been here once. They have good pastries, sandwiches and drinks. I recommend banana chocolate chip muffins and one of their specialty drinks. This is a competitor to Panera and Corner Bakery. I wish we had them in California.
