Paradise Cafe

This place is a great hole in wall.  We stopped here for a quick breakfast and IT WAS quick..the pancakes are HUGE and the best I ever had.

Was doing an epic coastal road trip and this place was recommended by one of the locals.  Breakfast was definitely something to write about!  

I had the paradise omelet - mmmm.  The onions and peppers were perfectly cooked not half raw like in many places and there was green chili in it!!!  I haven't seen much green chili since moving out of NM, and that was a sight for sore eyes. The cheese was perfectly melted, and the portion was huge.  It came with a side of perfectly crisped, but not overdone hash browns.  As a plus they stocked green tobasco (my fave) on each table as a matter of course, and I did not have to tackle the wait staff for hot sauce as I do at many places.    

My companion had the blueberry pancake with a side of bacon.  The blueberries were cooked into the pancake and were excellent quality.  The pancake itself was large, cooked expertly (not doughy, not dry) and I was assured that it was excellent, but somehow my mouth was too full of omelet goodness to try any.  I did manage to snag a bite of bacon and that was also well-executed.  Again, not under or overdone, perfect thickness and not too fatty.  Some of the best bacon on the trip.  

Well done!  If I ever find myself back near Port Orford I will make it a point to eat here again. :)

Nice hot water to wash up in the restroom. Coffee definately on the weak side and they don't give you real cream for the coffee. Open-faced hot turkey sandwich was salty but average. They use sliced turkey for sandwiches instead of thick cut turkey breast.  Mashed potatoes were instant. We were interrupted no less than 3 times by the young busboy who wanted to refilled the sugar, refilled the jelly packets and try to take our nondairy creamer even though we were obviously drinking coffee. Still this place seems to be popular with the locals. The portions are large and the prices are reasonable. If you like mediocre food, atmosphere and service then got for it!
