Paradise Bakery and Cafe

One star  - but only because they are closed.  Too bad.  I really liked to go there...thought about marching up and down the mall with a sign that says "Open Paradise Now!" but they'd probably frown on that...

Great lunch specials, usually come here when I am tired of Panera (since it is in the mall I usually forgo the traffic and go to Panera or Jimmy John's instead)

Great red velvet cake cookies!!

Ive been a fan or Paradise's muffin and sandwiches for years. Unfortunately the last two times Ive gone I have received very low quality service.

On my most recent visit, I waited for 10 minutes to order a coffee and muffin with nobody else in line in front of me. The girl behind the counter was keeping herself busy making a cappuccino and chatting with some guy sitting at a table. She could easily see I was getting impatient, but she did not even acknowledge my presence. Finally, when I was able to order she told me they were out of coffee lids.

I don't know if they have a new manager who is lax about discipline and ordering supplies, but they succeeded in losing my business.
