Paradise Bakery And Cafe

I ordered Asian salad, paid about $ 7, the size is very fair but the salad is boring and not tasty at all and the chicken look and taste like it’s from a can

I went here on a busy Saturday and forgot to ask for the dressing on the side of my salad when paying. About a minute after I asked the girl to put dressing on side. I felt like a child being scolded. Her statement to me was «Next time ask for the dressing on the side when placing your order» Lady had I remembered I would have said something. The salad has not even been made yet. Also their famous Paradise pasta salad lacked flavor. So that’s why I’m giving them two stars. The chicken salad sandwich however was very tasty along with the chocolate chip chippers.

Honestly, if it weren’t for the delicious chocolate chip cookie they snuck into my bag, this place would get 3 stars at best. But cookie! Unexpectedly delicious! And heat that sucker up for 8 seconds when you get home… Mmmmmm
But I digress. Ham & Brie panini was pretty good, except it totally fell apart. I didn’t order a deconstructed hot sandwich, I ordered a panini. It was forgivable since the flavors went really well together, but come on.
Kid’s turkey sandwich was okay. Comes with fruit, a drink, and a cookie. Too much melon in the fruit cup. Pretty good value at $ 4.25, though. And milk is an option for the drink.
Stonebriar has a great food court and this is a decent option, just not my first choice.

The service was fast and friendly. The you g lady who waited on me was very helpful with the changes I had to make to my order. The salad I got is huge and great for the cost.

Great food as always. Healthy choice within a sea of other unhealthy choices. Always fresh always predictable. And a large salad always comes with a fresh baked cookie too

I have been to the Paradise in Plano and although the line get long at lunch, they do keep it moving and the food is good. This one in Stonebriar always has a long line that I never get in. But yesterday I did… initially for a cookie but then decided to order lunch. The line was only 2 deep when I ordered my potato soup and BBQ chicken salad. I literally waited 15 minutes for this order. There were 5 employees from what I could see and only one making the salad. This guy was moving as if he had no care in the world. At this point there are at least 10 people waiting for order. Why have 2 cashiers taking orders and one slow person making the food? My soup initially was fine but then as I ate it somehow it became watery. My salad had brown lettuce and was overly saturated with dressing. I through it away. I would have brought it back but at this point there was a large crowd of people waiting for food. I will only go back for a cookie. No point waiting in a long line due to employees who move slow and then the food is bad.

I’ve been here twice and have been happy with both visits! The first time, I had the full size Greek salad which was massive! Filled with ingredients and flavor. They even make it fresh there in front of you. Second time, I ordered the pick 2 deal. I wanted a tuna sandwich and a cup of corn chowder. Sadly, they were out of the chowder. so I went with the half size Greek salad. :-) Both delicious! The lady even put a chocolate chip cookie in my bag. Very nice of her!
I love having a healthy option in the mall food court. the pricing isn’t bad either. I’ll definitely be back again and again!

I tried the Butternut Squash soup today for the first time, it was rather tasty! A thick consistency, rich… topped with Parmesan cheese & pumpkin seeds. What I DO get on a regular basis are their cookies. Their sugar & white chocolate macadamia coconut are my FAVORITE!

This was my first experience at the food court Paradise place. Kid working the counter told me my sandwich came with a drink and cookie. Albacore (tuna) salad sandwich was just tuna, mayonnaise and seasoning. Nope. What I got was an $ 8 soggy sandwich and under baked cookie. I couldn’t eat the cookie. It was completely raw. I LOVE cookies so not eating it says a lot. No drink. That’s an extra $ 3. Tuna salad had celery in it and was bland and watery. No seasoning. Maybe they forgot to drain the tuna. Rip off. Don’t eat here. Ever.

We were looking for a breakfast restaurant in the area and this place was close. I would say it is just OK.
Nothing particularly really good or really bad about good here. It will not hurt you but it is not the kind of place that has any WOW factor.

Great and friendly service, but my «fruit» smoothie was made of powder and yogurt. It was completely liquified and tasted like Go-​gurt.

I had a quick sandwich from here during a break between movies. It was the «chicken walnut salad» sandwich, served with lettuce and tomato on their molasses bread. As a bonus, a chocolate chip cookie landed in my sack (I didn’t complain).
The sandwich, after a little reconstruction to spread the salad evenly across the bread, was very good. The walnuts added a great crunch, the salad tasted fresh and the chicken wasn’t all mushy nor was it tough. The bread had a subtle flavor and was also very fresh and tender. Topping it off was the cookie; it was very good as well, with gooey chocolate chips and a fresh texture.
This place is proof that you can get a decently healthy meal (OK, except for the cookie) in a food court; I’d definitely seek this place out again.

A great place to get a decently healthy meal at the mall. Greens are pretty fresh, so the salads are alright. They do offer the pick 2 option that the stand alone restaurants have. The employees are not the most friendly and might get your order wrong, so double check before you walk away. You also might find random tortilla chips from other salads in your salad…

After reviewing some of the reviews I was not certain I was at the right location. This is an inside of the mall location located at the food court not normally a place that one would go to unless shopping in that mall. I give this place three stars since it is not a destination type restaurant. There is no outside seating and the picture showing a Paradise Bakery entrance certainly is not the one for the inside the mall location. Had the Paradise Pasta Salad which as excellent. Prices are very reasonable as the salad was only $ 4.95. Inside seating at the Christmas shopping season was a little hard to come by. There are activities in the immediate area such as a full size merry go round for the kids. The mall in itself is excellent.

I absolutely love this place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. They just have so many tasty options on their menu and their bakery side is phenomenal for anything you might want or need. Here’s the rundown:
Bakery has great fresh breads from sweeter chocolate and fruit breads to normal ciabatta to savory breads like asiago parmesan. Also have cookies and pastries and breakfast goodies to make your tummy happy. They also actually do a very good coffee selection in the morning from lattes to cappucinos to machiattos!
Lunch will make your head spin there are so many tempting options. I’ve had their summer berry salad before which is delicious, a blue cheese walnut salad that I liked a lot as well. Their soups are «day of» so it’s hard to know what will be there but my hubby likes their recent addition of sonoma chicken and I’m partial to their regular chicken noodle, potato soup or their new england clam chowder. Tons of sandwich options, but the good thing is because they make them at the moment you can customize to your heart’s content, so find a basic sandwich you like and make it the way you want it.
Lunch always comes with one of their tempting cookies and your choice at their beverage station where they always have a wide selection of flavored and unflavored iced teas.
Dinner is the same way! It’s just a great option for a place to eat that makes delicious food and serves relatively quickly for when you’re on a lunch break!

Great location, great ambiance, great food! A bit pricey though but its OK, you get your moneys worth!

This is the Paradise Bakery in the Stonebriar mall food court. Their panini is ok, but I am not a big fan of Paradise except for their cookies. Their cookies are really good.

This is my favorite Frisco lunch stop! Salads are so fresh and yummy. Soups are delightful. Coffee is delicious. Cookies are the best I’ve ever eaten (sorry Grandma!), especially chocolate chip pecan and the oatmeal. And, on a personal note, their fountain has Coke Zero! Beat of all — their service! Everyone is so nice and helpful! Eat here, people!

My boyfriend and I stopped here for breakfast this morning. We walked around the strip and sadly, passed up Freebird’s, a vietnamese joint, and a burger place for this Paradise crap. I ordered a breakfast croissant with ham, swiss cheese, and egg; he got a quiche with fresh fruit. The food arrived and basically tasted like they had made it earlier, then nuked it – sandwich was super-​hot in a microwave kind of way, not fresh. Bread was soggy and greasy. His quiche was pre-​made, pre-​cooked, and nuked to reheat. His fresh fruit didn’t include strawberry, which was included in the description. Just some dull grapes and cantaloupe.
The coffee was the only good thing – we paid 18 bucks for crap, gas-​station microwavable food and good coffee.
We won’t be returning.

Awesome sandwiches and soups. Don’t forget the Fire Roasted Garlic Tomato Soup. It really delivers.
