As Joanne R. said, I usually love Paradise Cafe and this location is convenient for me but this experience left a bad taste in my mouth. I just came from yoga so was pretty mellow about all the curve balls they sent me. They didn't have the bagel for the sandwich, was I okay with whole grain? I was. I didn't want to drink out of a paper cup and wanted a nice mug, but they are out of them. What can you do? \n\nIn a weak moment I ordered this carrot cake, thinking I would take half of it home with me but the breakfast sandwich order took so long, I had finished that dang cake and felt sickly full. Okay, I can't blame them for my lack of discipline; just the long wait.\n\n The busboy was around picking up busily, so I asked him to check on the order but then it shows up. There is a little hair in the sandwich, blond, not mine. I understand how that happens and know it won't kill me, so don't say anything. \n\nThe sandwich is just okay. I probably couldn't eat it all because of eating all that carrot cake, so I ask the busboy to bring me a to-go container. He's sweet and friendly and I regret that I don't have change to leave on the table for him. I go refill my coffee and get change for the tip. I find out that they put hazelnut coffee in the light roast, so let the manager-looking lady know. \n\nI look for the busboy to give him the tip but don't see him. He's already cleaned the table, so don't want to leave it there. I was going to just leave it with the cashier but see the manager lady and give it to her and tell her the busboy was very helpful and she agrees. But under her breath, she says\" I don't know why she just didn't leave it on the table.\" That sense of nastiness just left a bad taste in my mouth. Otherwise I might not have felt impelled to write this review. \n\nI probably will skip this location next time.
