text: For me Paradise Bakery is a poor mans Panera I do not think it is nearly as organized friendly or tasty as Panera although the price is much better at ParadisennParadise Bakery is disappointing in a few ways First I really really hate when places just have pictures of sandwiches on the display board and provide absolutely zero written description Oh I see I am just supposed to guess what is on that sandwich that has a picture in the most inconvenient spot in the whole freaking place Wonderful Second the caesar salad is horrible I took my first bite yesterday and instantly remembered why I swore I would never order another one from Paradise again I managed to choke most of it down but seriously what is wrong with their caesar dressing It has a very funny and not in a good way taste to it Also the croutons are not very tasty either Third they completely use too much dressing on their salads Excuse me but can I have some lettuce to go with that dressing And finally for a bakery I do not particularly find the cookies and pastries I have tried to be all that amazing The chocolatewhite chocolate chip cookie I tried yesterday was a bit on the dry side and not very chewysoft at all BoonnThe two bright spots are the pricemy salad and medium drink was which is not a bad deal at all and the number of tables outside this location where you can escape the office to enjoy a nice leisurely lunch on a beautiful Arizona day But if you are craving a salad or sandwich there are better options in the downtown area
