    Been here many times but stopped going because they time how long you can use their internet (short time) and then it turns off. Doesn't matter if you are with a large party and everyone is eating. Internet is times and management cannot turn it back on. Too many other places want my business and will provide Internet so I can work. Won't miss Paradise Bakery.

    Worst $11 I've ever spent. I usually make my own salad since not many of there's have a lot of vegetables in it. Sorry I gave their menu a try. The tomato soup was too potent. The Thai chicken salad seriously only had lettuce and chicken....sure there were nuts, but again that's it??? Never again. I'll stick with Wildflower were I can get at least two or three vegetables in my salad.

    If I could leave zero stars I would. Very dirty, bathrooms not kept up, prices exorbitant for what you get, terrible service, ordered no mayo and sandwich sure enough came with mayo and when returning it to get one without mayo it was as if I was putting them out.

    Ehh this used to be a great place for lunch. It is a little pricey, for a salad and a tea in my opinion. Plus this location has been under some sort of remodel/construction.... maybe a change in entity ownership for almost 4 months now. ( I heard rumors that panera bread may now own all Paradise Bakery locations... maybe that is why?) All I know is the change is not very speedy... the ordering process is always different each time I go in, there is no consistency.

    Paradise Bakery is awesome and provided you like sandwiches, soup or salad you can get something you'll love. If I want to get something healthy I will get a classic salad with chicken, corn, pecans and corn/bean mix. If I don't care that day I'll get a 1/2 sandwich and tomato soup. I don't like tomatoes but it tastes like Spagettios. Plus sandwiches come with a free cookie. Ask for no cookie then get any cookie (instead of chocolate chip) you want. I have never had anything I didn't love, the selection is great and the iced teas are awesome.

    The food is great but the staff is not friendly at all. I still come for the food but very rude staff. They really seem like they don't enjoy working there. No smiles just shortness and rudeness. I don't enjoy coming in. If I can find somewhere else to go I would just to avoid the unhappiness in there.

    Came here just for some cookies today. usually get a chicken walnut at the Scottsdale 101 location which is delicious! however this location's service is not near as good. walked in, wasn't greeted, walked to the counter and bought my cookies and the cashier was very rude. probably won't be back to this location.

    Short version: If you can help it, go to another Paradise Bakery. Long version: Of all the Paradise Bakeries I've been to this one is consistently the worst but it's the closest to home. Had my heart set on a Chicken Walnut Sandwich tonight but the guy said "we are out of molasses bread" and just stared at me. No apologies. Just stood there and looked annoyed at me for picking a sandwich they didn't have the bread for. My bad bro. Admittedly I don't come here for the service but common courtesy would be nice. We get catering for our monthly meetings at the one at Biltmore all the time and they seem to be better.

  • Chris R.

    Despite multiple bad or questionable reviews. I've been here multiple times and have been pleased with the service and food. I usually get the Mediterranean veggie sandwich and classic salad. Today I ordered roasted tomato and mozzarella panini and it was delicious! My only complaint about paradise bakery is price, but I know the prices and order here anyway. My visits are always on weekends.

    The first time I came in, they forgot my order and I waited for an hour. They only noticed when I said something. Food is good. I haven't been to another Paradise Bakery besides this one so I can't really say anything else. Some employees look like they don't want to be there which is unfortunate because good customer service is important and it is something I look for - no matter where I go.

    I think what I have come to call this place "Panaradise" is still working out some kinks. The food is still pretty good but the service has gotten so much slower. Also, this location is always so cold, you could hang meat in here and now that we hit triple digits, it's just too hot to sit outside. Waiting extra long for food in the ice box is so uncomfortable. The other reason for my lower star rating is I noticed an employee filling the ice above the soda machines. I didn't realize the lid for the ice was on the floor and I accidentally stepped on it while getting my beverages. Gross...the bottoms of my shoes are filthy. I had just come from the bathroom too. Think about where you walk on a daily basis...the bottom of all of our shoes are DIRTY. I told the kid I had stepped on it by accident and he says "oh, that's ok". I told him no it wasn't ok because that cover is going to go back on the machine to cover the ice that goes into our cups. Gross. He had no idea why I thought it was gross. Makes me worried about what other unclearly activities are happening. Why would you put the lid on the floor anyway? Who taught him that?

    Great salads/sandwiches/ cookies are the best.. Nothing super special, very consistent, same thing every time. Changed, food good service is very bad I hate panera. Which is what they are changing to. Update went for dinner 5/6 tried again to give the another shot and they messed up my order again. I asked to speak to the manager who is like 20 and she blamed the incorrect order on their new system. The one that is by my work has switched and I never have this problem.

  • Deni G.

    I usually compare Paradise Bakery to Panera...and rightly so. Panera has purchased 51% of the company and is slowly changing it over to their type of bakery. What I enjoy about the Paradise Bakery is the easy way the restaurant is set up. There is a cafeteria line around the outside of the place which made it easy to select and order items in a logical fashion. The food from the Paradise is always fresh and made to order. You even get a free chocolate chip cookie with some meals and the cookies are delicious. I think Paradise Bakery is a little on the pricey side as compared to similar shops however, the food is always good. You can't go wrong with the Paradise.

  • Melissa P.

    Whenever I am in Arizona I stop in Paradise Bakery because they have a few favorite items I like to get. However, they're now crossing their menu with Panera and the quality is not the same. They used to mix your salad in front of you. Now you get it in a box, not mixed together, just like Panera. They've also gotten rid of all the sandwiches I liked, except for the club. I don't understand the transition. If you've been bought out, change the name and menu and call it a day.

    This place has been going down hill for a few years now. Used to be good awhile back, now everything is always being changed around, things that were once on the me u aren't anymore and the staff was super rude the last time I came in. Step your game up paradise

    I did speak with the manager about this. Twice today (9/18/2015) while coming and then going, I noticed a dog left unattended in a vehicle parked outside this restaurant. I was able to locate one of the dog owners who was very defensive. The manager found the second one. I suggested that they put up a sign at the entrance stating that if children and dogs are left alone unattended in vehicles that they will call the Police and report the license plate number. This may help the situation. I live in the neighborhood and see this quite often; it's very disturbing. The manager said they could not put up such a sign. I think if others request this then it will happen. I am giving them two stars because I enjoy their coffee, but upset about this situation.

  • Eva P.

    I usually really like Paradise Bakery, but this location is not so good. How do you mess up a chicken Caesar salad? You put old croutons that are all stuck together on top of flimsy lettuce. Then instead of fixing it, refund the old salad and charge for a new meal. What? Yeah lets inconvenience the customer that just got a gross salad. That's a good business practice.

    (2)
  • Shrishti N.

    This place is a joke! Food was disgusting, tables were dirty, and the employees are in incompetent. My order was messed up twice!!! Instead of attempting to fix it the first time, they just made us pay for it again....and still got it wrong the second time around. The ordering system itself is ridiculous!!! Nothing like any Paradise Bakery I've ever been to. This location is a shameful representation of the Brand. Will not be returning!

    The bread they give you that's included with the soup on the side, my girlfriend and I both had our own. She asked me why I didn't eat mine. I said "it smells like dog" while eating my soup. She sniffed hers and made a disgusted face. Nasty!!! Idk if their bread has been sitting out or whatever the case may be but it smells gross and tastes gross. This happened to me the last time too. The broccoli soup is good. I'm nervous for us to try the 2 cookies I bought today. Ugh. I will never go back if these cookies are nasty too.

  • V W.

    Ugh. Just close this location and put it out of it's misery. Horrible service. Dirty tables, floors, patio. The cafe line sits abandoned, which was a large part of what made Paradise a great place. Watch your salad/soup being created, faster service. The Panera buy-out sucks. Stopped in for a last-minute cookie run for a school event and the counter person was put off that I was taking all of her cookies (3 dozen) and she would need to make more.

  • B L A.

    This location sorely needs a new manager. The Cashier could not answer basic questions about the menu, then forgot to give us the 'locator'. EVERY table was dirty, in spite of staff regularly passing through. As we waited one employee continued to search for the customers who had ordered the food he carried. He did so for nearly 10 minutes, insuring their food was cold and/or dried out. He stopped to speak with another employee who clearly needed a bath and good hand scrubbing, who then proceeded to ask if we were the missing customer by placing his dirty hand on our table as if we didn't exist. (We were not the customer, as the cashier finally realized his mistake with the locator) As a side note, Paradise Bakery discontinued their deluxe grilled cheese, which my wife had her heart set on was was the reason we went back. This will be the last time we eat at Paradise Bakery. Disgusting.

    Delicious food at a rediculous price ! .. a half chicken walnut sandwhich is LITERALLY (1) piece of bread cut in half, (1) half head of green leaf lettuce , (1) 3 oz scoop of chicken, mayo, walnuts and seasonings, (1) half slice tomato. / Then the salad depwnding on what kind you get is a small box of greens and a couple (1) oz scoops of a couple items! It maybe costs them 45 cents to produce the kids size adults meals they give out . But for 9.35 holy S***. What you pay for here is the friendly faces , clean establishment , and "fresh" Food

  • Adriahna A.

    They changed how you order food. Now instead of going through the line as they make it, you order and go sit and wait for it. I wouldn't have an issue with this but why change what isn't broken? When they brought me my salad it seemed as though they just threw the ingredients into the bowl without mixing anything. My boyfriend's steak sandwich was mostly spinach. I liked how it was before when you could actually watch what was going on. Sigh.

    I'm only giving one star because it's required in order to leave a review... This was by far my worst experience at a Paradise Bakery. Normally, it is one of my favorite places to get soup and salad. Today, it all changed. I ordered a chicken ceasar salad and french onion soup. Seems simple enough, right? Well they got it all wrong. For starters, the lettuce was brown at the edges and the green pieces were limp. The dressing was bland, same for the chicken. My soup was luke warm at best. The cheese was clumped together at the bottom of my bowl and the croutons were soggy upon arrival to the table. I can only assume it was already prepared and had been sitting out for awhile. My boyfriend ordered the meal, except he had the black bean soup. He stated that his soup wasnt terrible, but had the same issue with his salad. We asked for pepper to add some flavor to our food, but they were all out of pepper and pepper packets. How do you run out of pepper? To top it off, no cookie with the You Pick Two... My food was so terrible that I doubt I will ever return... Unless someone else is paying and I have no other restaurant options.

    This location went downhill fast with all their recent changes. Seems like a bunch of kids running the place that weren't trained correctly. Ordered a Mac and cheese in a bread bowl to go. Got to the vehicle and decided to check the bag and found just a regular Mac and cheese with no bread bowl (which I paid extra for.) Went back inside and the told the food prep person about the missing bread bowl and they sold "oh that's what in a bread bowl meant"...um duh? Also asked for a chicken salad sandwich with no tomato and a chicken poppyseed salad with no blueberries so of course when I got home I discovered tomato on my sandwich and blueberries on my salad, my bad for not checking those too before leaving I guess. Lesson learned, If you order something with a substitution or special request make sure you repeat yourself a bunch of times and double check your order before leaving if it's to go because it's most likely going to be wrong.

    Salads, soups, sandwiches, and cookies with a nice assembly-line-type set-up. You do get a cookie with each meal, it's large and it's clean. They have breakfast in the morning. This just isn't my favorite place to eat - nothing is terrible, but the ingredients are pretty blah and the resulting meals are, as well. On top of all that, they're not at all inexpensive for what you get, and the service is as bland as the food. I only eat here when there are no other options.

    There's no better way to find out about a new eatery than to receive a gift card to one you've never been to (or heard of, for that matter). This happened to me when I received a gift card to Paradise Bakery. Being new to Phoenix, of course I Yelp'd it to find one nearby. I located this on on the SWC of Bell Rd and 7th Street while up at Sam's Club. Paradise Bakery has sandwiches, salads, soups, sides, and of course -- the bakery items! At this location, you can eat in or take out. I like the Turkey Bacon Bravo or the Turkey Cranberry with a side of their excellent mac 'n' cheese and a drink. Getting this combo also scores you a free cookie! This location is in the shopping area with a huge Target and many other stores, so the parking is hit or miss, depending on the time of day/week. And PB's prices are just a bit steep for what they serve...good food, but still a bit pricey.

    There nothing worst then getting a salad that has been drowned in dressing. Just about 30 mins ago I popped in and got a Mediterranean Salad to-go. They were cleaning up so I was not able to watch them make my salad. Well, needless to say the dressing was not on the side. My salad in drowning in it's dressing. I don't live close to them so I can not take it back to have them make it right. They need to put a rule in place that all to-go salads have the dressing on the side. I'm trying to wash the dressing off and it's not working. :(

  • Mel S.

    I normally go to the Paradise Bakery in Scottsdale and have never had any issue with it. But a visit to this Bell Road location was a complete fail. First off, they have implemented their new "Panera" ordering system which means I order my food at the register but have zero ability to watch them assemble my food. As a person with severe food intolerances, it has always been a benefit of eating at Paradise Bakery to be able to watch to be sure they aren't putting cheese etc into my food. Second, if I could have seen the bowl of fruit salad they were going to serve me I would have never ordered it. It was disgusting. The pineapple was so old that it was dark yellow and half shredded. The rest of the fruit was saturated with juice and looked and tasted really old. Nasty, couldn't even get my husband to eat it (and he never wastes food!). My husband said his tomato soup was like drinking pasta sauce and it didn't look like I remember it. Our server forgot to bring us forks and then disappeared to allegedly get forks for us and was gone so long that I went inside to get them myself.....only to find that there is not a single piece of silverware (even plastic) anywhere within a customers reach. What is that?! Why do I have to get someone's attention behind the counter to get a stupid fork?! All in all the only good thing was the cookie. That's it. Won't return to that location ever again.....and I don't think I'll ever be able to convince my husband to go to any other location. Too bad, it used to be a healthy option for food.

    CONSISTENTLY bad service. Always very slow and employees often forget to make food; I've had to go up and remind them several times. Just tonight they forgot all the meat and cheese on the woman in front of me's sandwich, and gave me the completely wrong order.

  • Lindsay C.

    A restaurant chain is only as good as it's weakest link. I've eaten Paradise Bakery foods before, including OK sandwiches, salads, cookies and so on. But my visit to this location was for one thing: a bagel. I love bagels, specifically everything bagels. So I ordered one toasted with roasted veggie cream cheese to go. It only took a minute for my order to be ready and I immediately took it out to my car for the drive home. Imagine my surprise when I found out (traveling down the interstate) that the bagel was 1) barely toasted 2) not warm and 3) the cream cheese was in a container for me to spread on myself. Of course, being a safe driver, I pull over to a parking lot to put together the bagel that, ordering to go, I thought would be ready-to-eat. The veggie cream cheese had crunchy veggies in it (not as roasted as I would assume), the bagel didn't have much flavor, I had to assemble it myself, and it was cold. Remind me why I didn't just go to a grocery store and purchase a bagel and cream cheese for about 1/4 the price? Suggestion: if it's ordered to-go, it should be ready-to-eat. Bagel rant end.

    This location used to be good... Great customer service and great food... Today I came in and the place was in shambles, first impression... We go and order and pay... The girl asked for here or to go? And we said for here of course... If your restaurant is a mess we wanna eat there... She also spelled my name "Toni" which is the female spelling of my name... I am very manly. After waiting 20 minutes for our food I went up front to notice everyone was standing around playing backgammon... I asked when my food would be ready and they all looked confused, then they realized it was sitting there for 10 minutes as a to go order.... I went back to my seat with my food and noticed my sandwich was rather cold and hard, which is the opposite to the way I ordered it. I asked them to remake it and 2 minutes later I was brought back the same sandwich which was regrilled and burned... Kudos to having a messy, disorganized restaurant and a staff that fits right in!

    Went up tonight - so confusing. Line is closed, everything is changed but no one says anything. We finally ask and are told they're changing to Panera. So sad - Pantera menu is much more limited. I'm vegetarian and no good choices. When someone finally comes to take order, old menu still being used so we order and pay - then they don't have this and that but can make do with other things. Never mind - we canceled. So sad -was a regular so for us - guess not any more!

  • R K.

    No pride in ownership at this location. Don't get me wrong, I know that the staff are probably all wage earners, but management needs serious corrective discipline. Unfinished food was left on an adjacent table for the entire duration of my meal. The cookie was solid as concrete. If you want repeat business, throw away the old cookies instead of serving them to your next victim. The sandwich was seriously unbalanced. A quality sandwich will have consistency in each bite. i.e. one bite had no pastrami while another bite has almost all pastrami with no salami. When you put three slices of onion on a sandwich, separate them instead of tossing on three concentric rings. It takes a serious, "I don't give a sh*t attitude" to serve food this bad. This place is absolute garbage.

    Love their soups, love their salads. The sandwiches are a little strange for me, so I don't really enjoy those. This is right in our neighborhood, so we go here..A LOT. Breakfast is good, and that menu changes every so often too. Ample seating, clean and friendly service. Get the frequent customer card-you rack up points for free meals, muffins and coffee. Also for you moms out there, there's a changing table in the restroom that is in the big stall and there is plenty of room to maneuver a stroller in here. Hooray!

    I go to many Paradise Bakery locations on a regular basis. I was disappointed during this visit. The salad person was not pleasant and seemed to be annoyed when I asked for a couple of changes (different dressing & lettuce). The week before at another location, they were happy to accommodate me. When we went to get cutlery, all they offered were plastic forks & spoons with regular knives. SInce I was dining there, I asked for real cutlery. I was told by the cashier "I guess that is all we have." Now I can understand running out of plastic cutlery but not stainless steel? This was just plain laziness. As for our food, mine was good. My husband's French Onion soup looked NOTHING like the picture. It was just a big brown mess with way too much stock. He was so hungry that he ate it.

    Did not have a good experience at this location. Little Asian boy attempted to take order, had no idea what he was doing. Later, they had him cleaning off tables.

    When this location opened, I went BANANAS! I love, love, love PB. I am learning to accept the merge with Panera. I came from Panera-ville originally to PARADISE (bakery)-land, and I liked that I had my "back home place" and "new home" place. I've probably eaten the chicken walnut salad 30 times from this location. (well over 200 times cumulatively). Never fails to wow my palate. Perfect amount of chicken, never drowning in mayo, lovely crunchy walnuts. Gets even crazier (nuttier?) if you get it on a croissant instead. The new turkey with avocado sandwich is also fantastic. And it's a real avocado, not that nasty preservative filled gross green paste other places try to charge you $2 for. Also love the chicken chopped cobb salad with avocado, hold the piggie (bacon). Caesar salad is easily one of my favorites. Lettuce is always fresh, and the dressing is so tasty! You are welcome to make your own salad if you don't want one of their suggestions. Just let them know. Lemon chicken orzo soup=good enough to eat even on a hot day! Fire roasted tomato soup is another favorite, never too acidic or salty, and that's hard to manage 100% of the time, but somehow, they do. Mac n cheese for kids (or kids at heart.....ok now my pants aren't fitting again...) I miss their Strawberry Peach decaf iced tea (yes, I'm a veteran customer), but I like the new Mango and Acai iced teas. The free cookies with sandwich are downright evil. I can't resist their soft, chewy goodness. Darn you, cookies! (You can get something besides chocolate chip if you ask) I also come for breakfast and get either a muffin (the free ones rack up quickly with their Taste of Paradise card) or an egg sandwich. Power sandwich or steak and egg on a bagel is muy, muy delicioso! Fresh squeezed orange juice, fresh fruit, black cherry smoothie. Okay, I've had every breakfast item they have. No complaints. Republic of Tea hot tea! i don't have enough time to write about all their menu items, because I pretty much have tried everything! But I will say that the only thing I don't prefer is the new tuna salad, compliments of Panera. It's just okay, not wowza like most things. ANd please bring the green iced tea from Panera over! Hot diggity, it was like nothing else. Okay, it's not cheap, but again, you get what you pay for. It's not subway! I come here at least once a week!!

    The best Paradise Bakery and Café in the Valley thus far - well stocked, clean, lacking the screaming children, no limits on the WiFi, and a flatscreen TV showing sports - plus they have Equal and Coke Zero in addition to NutraSweet, Splenda, and Diet Coke. I'll be back. Frequently.

    This is a wonderful place to sit down and work... and people watch. The staff are friendly, food is great and WiFi (though finicky at times) is free. Since I work from home, I love to frequent this locale to refocus when distractions pop up. The staff here is courteous and doesn't mind me sitting here for hours on end refilling my drink for free. This is my choice for an office away from the office.

    First time and last time customer at this location. We rushed in today hoping to get a breakfast sandwich before they stop serving at 11:00 (which, on a Sunday I think is a little harsh!). We got in there at 10:53, phew, we made it..walk to the counter..nope. The worker looks to her left as another worker shakes his head to her and says something which I later found out was "no more breakfast." So we start to place our order, with SEVEN minutes to go before cut off time....and the worker says "we aren't serving breakfast anymore." We were angry and asked why, to which she replied "manager's orders." So then we asked if we could at least get a bagel and she said she had to go ask her manager!! We left. 10:53 is not 11:00. How hard is it to make the breakfast stuff anyway?! It's all the same microwaved crap.

    Today my family had what I would consider the worse experience one could imagine when it comes to eating a meal, there was a large bug in my wife's Fugi Apple Chicken salad. On site she talked with an associate and he only refunded the salad... After leaving I shortly called and spoke with a manager and the entire meal was reimbursed on the card (which it should of been the 1st time without question!!). Not sure we will return back to any Paradise Bakery given the poor handling of food to remove bugs or any related items from a salad and lack of how they will be addressing going forward to ensure no one experiences the same thing! Simply disappointed with the entire experience & now we have 1 less 'healthy alternative' when it comes to dinning out!

    DO NOT GET ORDERS TO GO! Why can't these people get to go orders correct? This is the third time we have ordered lunch for the office from this location...and the third time they have screwed it up! 2 of us got the Crumbly Blue Cheese salads WITH CHICKEN, paid for the salads WITH CHICKEN but when we took them out of the bag, guess what? NO CHICKEN! We also ordered cookies, paid for cookies but these cookies didn't make it into the bag. Don't even get me started on the errors with the sandwiches! Since this is the third time this has happened in the last few months, I'm familiar with the poor attitude of the Paradise Bakery folks who handle disgruntled lunch eaters such as myself. I am not willing to subject myself to this attitude in order to get this resolved. I will not go back. In short. if you want your to go lunch order to be screwed up, order from this place!

    Paradise Bakery is one of my favorite sandwich places, also helps their cookies are good too. My favorite order its the following: Walnut Chicken Salad Sandwich - I could not even begin to describe this as well as Kelly R. (You go girl!!) Paradise Pasta - Always yummy and their oil is never too over powering. Fire Roasted Tomato Soup - OK I LIVE for the crunchies (Its a technical term), and sauce they put in this..and I do mean live, it is utterly fantastic!! Lemon-aid The lines are always quick, they greet you with a smile and they are consistent, thank goodness for that. Doesn't matter what location I am at, I always know what I am getting. All in all it is really a great place and somewhere I never hesitate on eating at.

    I previously worked at Paradise Bakery for 3 years so I know how everything is supposed to run, the past 2 times I have been there I have been extremely displeased with the lack of urgency to get my meal to me so I can get to work. The most recent was my most upsetting experience. Arrived to PB at 8:30 hoping to get to work by 8:50 (I work walking distance from paradise), no one was in line in front of me nor behind me. I ordered a sausage, egg and cheese on a bagel and calmly sat down to wait for my to go items. I watched my ticket come out of the expo machine and at the sandwich station (which is where the expo machine is). At the sandwich bar stud a girl bagging cookies and another standing next to her talking. Now to make my food, you take pre cooked egg, sausage and a piece of cheese, put it on a bagel and throw it on the presser. Not rocket science. After about 12 minutes I finally got up and asked one of the register girls to please ask the girl bagging cookies to check the expo machine for my ticket. She walked over, whispered in her ear, both girls stared at my like I was asking way to much. The girl bagging cookies walked to the expo machine, pulled the ticket, looked at me and smiled and went back to bagging cookies. Finally the sandwich maker came out of the back with stuff from the walk in and made my sandwich. I got to work with 1 minute to spare before I opened. 1. Girls like that will never progress in any industry because they have poor attitudes and have the "its not my job demeanor". 2. The food was not that hard to make and if they had attempted, things like that put you in the running for cross training. 3. IF YOU CANT MAKE IT GO GET THE EFFING SANDWHICH MAKER!!!! probably wont come back. Too mad.

    I was so excited to see this new Paradise Bakery so close to home. Not only is on the way to many things we do and a Super Target it is near my husband's work , so we technically could act like we are meeting him for dinner but really just want Paradise. So far the food here seems to be still being fined tuned. On the day we stopped in they seemed to be inconsistent in portion size and service. But I have faith in them that will soon have that figured out! This is a super place to meet for lunch or have a bite to eat away from work .

    So glad this made it to North Phoenix, if only it had happened while I was growing up there! TONS of options for breakfast and lunch and everything is delicious and enormous. It's a little costly, but when you see how much you're getting, it makes sense.

    Chicken walnut on croissant bread is my favorite ... If only the service was just as great. Love Paradise Bakery, but this one, without fail always seems to mess up orders. Whether its forgetting that bacon goes on the club, undercooking steak on the panini or giving the wrong bread even though its written on the receipt, they're always on top of getting it wrong. My support goes to PB, but not this location.

    Paradise Bakery is AWESOME!!! I love the freshly tossed salads, like their Southwest Cesar Salad and a cold cup of their refreshing Mango Tea!!! DELICIOUS!!!! The service is always fun and enthusiastic!! I give them an A+ for sure!!

    First time here and it doesn't really make me want to come back. I got up to the counter to order and someone quickly came over. I got the standard hello greeting. I old her I wanted the pick 2 with tortellini Alfredo and a Caesar salad. He asked if I wanted chicken and I told her no. She then handed me a yellow paper and said thank you. I assume I was just supposed to walk down to the register. Another girl had walked in after me am started ordering from a guy in my path in front of me. Is that normal? The girl at the register was super friendly. I think her name is Joie. That's what my receipt says. She offered me soup and a drink. I took the drink. When I sat at my table they brought me a small bowl of pasta and the man asked if I needed anything else. I said no and that I ordered a Caesar salad as well. He said ok and walked away. Ten minutes later and no salad. Then I realize my receipt doesn't show a salad. So I paid nine dollars for a handful of pasta and a drink?! Plus the pasta was very cold on too and luke warm on bottom. Not a great first impression.

    1/2 a California turkey on paradise bread hold all spread (pesky mayo, aioli or pesto whatever fancy name you want to call it) and may I please have a ginger molasses cookie instead of chocolate chip? My staple this past week & 1/2 for lunch. I like it...I really like it.

    I came here to eat healthy, order a half sandwich and soup, but got a cookie with my meal. I asked if there was healthy alternative to the cookie and they said no.

    Get the Thai chopped chicken salad and the chipotle chicken panini and all your slightly spicy robust flavor cravings will be satisfied. I found that meal to have a very south American flavored Thai food feel haha!!! No that is not supposed to make sense its just fantastically delicious

    If there was an option for no stars I would have given that. Everybody in here was rude today and just seemed like they had something better to do. I should have went next door to five guys. At least they like their customers. Between the first girl rolling her eyes at me and the cashier rushing us to pay, we sure didn't feel very welcome.

    Items I have tried recently that were delish: -Asiago roast beef sandwich, I normally don't like horseradish sauce but it's amazing on this bad boy! -White cheddar mac & cheese, freakin yum! -Coconut chocolate chip cookies, better than the regular chocolate chip cookies!

    Like the sandwiches and salads, the soup is just ok. The free cookie is delightful and my daughter likes this place so I'd say it was kid friendly. It is easy to order and check out but the staff is lacking as far as I'm concerned. Some are friendly but I've come across some snobby behavior and some condescending attitudes as well. The place is clean and comforting and I've seen quite a few people hanging out on their laptops so it must be a casual and relaxed atmosphere. Pretty decent prices and I like the real plates / silverware. The salmon salad was delish!

    The food here is always good, and consistent. I like the selection, and I like the different teas. I don't mind paying 10 bucks for a meal from here, as it seems to be good value. I like the half sandwich/salad combo. The reason for three stars is because of the service. 60% of the time I am there I have to tell the employee how to make my salad. They always forget something. If I want to omit something from the salad, I usually have to say so twice, the first time they never get it. They have also stopped asking if you want the dressing mixed in, so if you like it that way be prepared to request it. There seems to be a decent turnover at the place, so that probably explains the trouble with remembering what goes into the salads. I went there for dinner today, and I understand it was a Holiday. They were not particularly busy. All the employees were standing at one end of the counter talking. This was not an issue right away as they took my sandwich order. I then proceeded to the salad area, and had to wait as the salad guy (wearing someone else's nametag, as I doubt his name was "Jennay") wandered over. I had to repeat my no onions request twice, and request mixed in dressing (like usual.) He seemed confused about what went into the salad (like usual) and did not seem too happy I interrupted his conversation with the co-workers. I then was at the register, and had to wait for the cashier to come from the back. None of the employees at the counter felt the urge to go let her know I was there waiting to pay. It wasn't horrible, but it was slightly frustrating. Hopefully they can get the small issues resolved.

    I am generally a huge fan of Paradise Bakery, but my last visit was a bust! I went here with my sis for lunch a week ago. I ordered the creamy chicken and wild rice soup, it was spectacular! I also had a half a ham & Brie panini, I have had this sandwich before and it has always been great, but on this day it was down right terrible. I took two bites and that was all I could muster. Seriously don't know what went wrong but this was not a good sandwich. As far as service goes, the place was slammed but the line went quick and the food came out rather quickly as well.

    Great food! My order was messed up though and I was over charged. I was very specific about my order too, so it was weird. Make sure you are very specific as to what you want. While I was waiting I saw two other people cone back with messed up orders. They need to get their act together.

    Found my back-up to my fave today--my fave sandwich that is. I earned a freebie meal after coming umpteen times. I strayed out of my comfort zone for a hot Cuban, panini sandwich for takeout to work for lunch. This sandwich was great. It will never displace my chicken walnut but, its nice to have a stand in in case the chicken walnut needs a break. Service here is always friendly strong and consistent.

    Just a warning, the chippers are totally addicting! B&W chippers and Oatmeal Chocolate Chip, tiny little cookies that disappear very quickly when I bring a box to the office! Other excellent choices - -SW Chicken Caesar Salad (ask for a little extra dressing, it's awesome and they never put enough on) -Walnut Chicken Salad sandwich -Fire-roasted Tomato Soup with tortilla strips and sour cream Paradise bakery also has some of the best iced tea in Phoenix!

    Arrived at 10:25am and decided to grab lunch to go and take to the office with me. The place was essentially dead so I thought it would be a quick pick up. The young gal who took my order was very nice and helpful. And then I waited....and waited....and waited. I finally flagged down a nice lady who appeared to be in management and asked where my order was. Then I waited some more. Finally I got it and once in my car decided to check in the bag. Glad I did. I ordered a small caesar to go with my sandwich and got a small caesar with chicken. So, I walked back in with the wrong salad and asked for the correct one. The young man who appeared to be in charge of making the salads seemed especially irritated. He also did not apologize when he finally gave me the correct salad. All total, to get my complete "to go" order of a tuna sandwich and small caesar and leave there, 25 minutes. Completely unacceptable. I won't be back to this location. Clearly my order was just too much for them.

    Addicted to Caprese style sandwiches so I wanted to see if Paradise Bakery & Cafe was making such a thing. Although they do have a specialty sandwich with mozzarella and tomato/basil smoosh, it was a disappointment. Soups are always great and the mac and cheese is a once in a great while yummy, comfort foody worth it. Servers are not well trained and just stood around talking to each other while I waited with no line. Youth is no excuse for neglecting customers. For fast food Paradise Bakery is a good choice if you are like me and refuse to eat fried, greasy fattening fare the other fast food joints serve, so I take the good with the bad.

    What I love about this location is their soup selection...they have all of them, every day. Broccoli cheddar is excellent. As is the fire-roasted tomato. That's all I ever get because everything else is rather over-priced.

    Paradise is ok if you aren't looking for something amazing. I can easily make the same quality sandwiches and soups at home. But I like to go out sometimes and have a sandwich somewhere else. Don't get me wrong they beat subway easily but they aren't great by any means. There is a young girl there who is too cool for school but everyone else is super nice. I will always continue to eat there, but not with high expections.
