Paradise Bakery & Cafe

The paradise bakery is a small place that packs flavor and baked goodness in well beyond it's presence. My wife and I visited on several occasions, both morning and night and found surprisingly fast service for such a busy establishment. Baked goods were fresh with many choices. The drink orders are a bit limited compared to big chain stores but we're executed competently. Espresso roast is ok, mild for a popular appeal. This is an excellent location on a Saturday night and the bakery sometimes has small musical acts in the courtyard outside. Parking can be a bear. Circle the block counter clockwise to wait for a space. It's worth it.

Their gelato was really good! Staff are really nice, and later, one of the employees came out to offer a puppy treat for my dog! They pay attention to small things and care about their customers! I also got the muffins (not pictured) -lemon poppy seeds and blueberry. I didnt get their cookies because it looked too sweet but, I didn't know that this place is known for the cookies!! I really wish I got all the flavors of muffins and cookies... now I don't know when I will be back in Aspen. I really wish they would deliver so then I can try all other flavors of cookies and muffins. I definitely miss this place already. I will have to be back in Aspen for this place!

My friends and I endeavored on a Road trip from Vermont to Montana to see the beautiful landscapes of the United States. Colorado was one of our stops. We were camping for around a week by the time we reached Aspen, a beautiful town known for its pastries. On Wednesday morning, we decided to visit Paradise Bakery to purchase an almond croissant, and two muffins to eat later during our hike on the top of Delicate Arches in Utah. We made an order, paid a considerable amount, and hit the road. After 5 hours of driving and 1 hour of hiking on top of Utah's famous Arch, my friends and I were very excited to try the famous pastries of the bakery. But it wasn't meant to be. Imagine our disappointment when we opened the bag and saw that there wasn't an almond croissant we purchased before! We were so upset we forgot about the beauty of the place. Being a state away from the bakery, we couldn't come back to get our well-deserved almond croissant. So, please, check your orders carefully, otherwise you can find yourself in a different state and without your well-awaited pastries. That's why our rating of the place is low. The muffins were great by the way.

Went there on a Wednesday, just before 10 am, had to wait for 20 minutes, which is not bad. We’re a party of four, three out of the four had breakfast items. Their egg omelets are good, light and fluffy but the only ‘miss’, IMO, is the sausage on their omelet: seemed to be a bit short on flavor. I had a lunch item, the avocado chicken salad and it was very good.

best gelato in the valley, top 3 in the state. I always stop in. their vegan flavors are fire too. the baked goods are solid. Mostly the muffins, sweat breads and cookies. the breakfast burritos are excellent when they are on, and just ok when not. 50/50 in my experience the espresso is dark, so go affogato! location is great. lines are real.
