Food:[1] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[6]

• Good location and plenty of seating.
• Surly staff and dubious food quality.

“Having visited Cafe Paraiso several times, I was always of the opinion that even though the staff was generally surly, the food was good. After my most recent visit I'm inclined to believe that something has changed, and not for the better. Our food arrived at the table quite cool, and I asked to have mine sent back to the kitchen. When it was brought back to me, it was warm enough for consumption if not piping hot. Alas, I spent the rest of the day with pretty severe dyspepsia and stabbing stomach pains, which I am certain were from my breakfast as I consumed nothing else that day. My friend and I were treated with the minimum of courtesy, and no apology made for the inconvenience of being served cold food. There are plenty of places to eat on University- avoid Cafe Paraiso and an unpleasant experience.”

• Location.
• Owner, coffee, food.

“The owner basically ruins the place. It's in a great location and has so much potential, but he's a very negative person who drives away customers. Another note, I used a debit card to pay for a coffee and scone this morning. He told me the price, swiped my card, and crumpled up my receipt and threw it away without offering it to me at all. When I later checked my account balance, I saw that the amount charged was more than he had told me. I like to patronize local places, but not if I'm going to be insulted or cheated while I'm handing the owner money. Plus, the coffee often has grounds in it and today I bought a scone that was old and disgusting. Be careful here or, better yet, just go somewhere else.”
