Please update your address. It is not accurate. Couldn't find the restaurant. Directions took us to abandoned plaza. Drove around for 15 minutes trying to find in Sebastian but unsuccessful. Had to go somewhere else for breakfast. read more

An excellent no-frills breakfast spot in Sebastian! It's hidden in a small shopping plaza and we were glad to find it. Cafe in Paradise accommodated our party of five right away on a Saturday morning. My omelette was huge and packed with veggies and cheese. The potatoes weren't just okay but everything else was great. The others in my family seemed to enjoy their breakfast as well. Service was fast, and I would return again! read more

My wife and I came in with the kiddo for breakfast on 04/30/2023. Ordered country friend steak and corn beef hash, both were okay, nothing to complain about. About 10 minutes later, we were handed a check and we were not allowed to order anything else, I couldn't even get a coffee refill, and no one on the wait staff would speak to us, so we were forced to leave and were refused further service. There were at least 10 open tables, so it's not that they needed to serve anyone else right away. Until I'm contacted by management and shown evidence to the contrary, I have no choice but to believe that we were refused service because we are a mixed race family with children, and this restaurant opposes interracial marriage and children. read more

Cute little out of the way place. We came in after the lunch hour and service was very fast. Food was really good. We were told that as soon as liquor licenses are finished they will open for dinner. We will definitely be back. read more

Cafe in Paradise - Menu - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sebastian, Florida

Food was really good, we enjoyed breakfast. Veggie omelette was great, great sausage links and eggs benadict. Also had unsweetened tea that was brewed perfect. Doesn't look like much from the outside but interior decor is really cute and comfy. I would have given it five stars but if you have read my reviews I love service with a smile and all of the waitress and cashiers never had a smile on their face, looked quite depressed. Dark haired girl in the kitchen was quite smiley, she should be out on the floor serving. Even when staff interacted with each other, no fun or laughing. As a business owner i feel happy staff is part of a dining experience. Otherwise food and atmosphere great. Second trip there and staff was a bit friendlier. The food was great again but we sat at the bar with clear view of the kitchen. I watched the cook check her phone, stick her finger in her eye checking for something and never wash her hands. Then she served sausage with her bare hands and toast. I am pretty sure thats a health violation and just turned me off from dining here. Why is it so hard for kitchen staff to wash their hands? read more

This restaurant used to be known as JP Matty's and now has new owners. It is a great breakfast spot that has daily specials and friendly staff. Overall environment is a small family owned restaurant with a beach decor theme with booths and small bar service area with 6 stools. I had the western omelette, shoe string hash browns with rye toast. It's was nice size and made perfectly with three eggs, ham, onions, green peppers, red peppers and orange peppers. I was impressed with the variety of peppers, nice extra little touch. Show string hash browns are always my favorite. They also have breakfast potatoes or grits. My dad had the country fried steak, with eggs, pots and biscuit. He had sausage Gravy on the side which I ate. He said it was very good and you can tell it was freshly breaded steak and fried, some places have pre-made frozen breaded steak that sucks. Those of you from up north they have Pork Roll on side items menu, also known as "Taylor Ham". Being from NJ that grabbed my eye!! My bro ordered it and it looked good. They also have Turkey sausage links as an optional side. Coffee was also very good and not weak, can't stand weak watery coffee. I asked waitress for a cup to take my coffee to go seeing it was just filled up and she brought me a to go cup half filled which I thought was very nice, I added my full cup to the to go cup. Again a little extra step that makes a difference. Overall this is a great local 5 star breakfast joint that had very consistent food and nice service. When I'm in town to visit I will def. be back!! read more

Cafe In Paradise-Sebastian-5-Stars ****Hidden Gem**** "Cheeseburger in paradise/Medium rare with mustard'd be nice/Heaven on Earth with an onion slice/I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise." -- Jimmy Buffett I couldn't help myself, as soon as the name of my next dining destination appeared on the BBDO restaurant generator, Cafe in Paradise, this song just popped in my head and continued all the way down south. Upon arriving at said destination, the song quickly left my head and was replaced with the infamous line from the Warriors, "Warriors! Come out to play-ay!" as the eating establishment was in what had to be the dingiest strip mall I have ever seen this side of an abandon inner city (think downtown Detroit). Maybe the name of the eatery, Cafe in Paradise, was really some kind of carny code for, "in the middle of a run-down industrial park." Well, I may not have seen any worse for wear strip malls in my time, but I certainly have seen worse areas of the country. Sucking up any misgivings I may have had based on the outside and surrounding neighborhood, I exited the BBDO mobile and headed on inside. The inside, thankfully, was spotlessly clean and exceedingly quaint. They really did a bang up job on the interior, that's for sure. With an absolutely gorgeous wooden bar fronting the place, you will find ample seating throughout and huge booths lining the walls. Adroitly festooned with sea critters on the walls and a subdued color scheme, it is a very relaxing atmosphere and one sure to put everyone at ease. Michelle is the server today and while on the outside it did not appear that she was enjoying her job, she was spot on, professional and very observant of her customer's needs (bringing extra napkins without being asked -- I love it!). I put in an order for their Ultimate Cheeseburger grilled to a medium-rare and one Soho Reuben (sans any werewolves from London). Enjoying the pleasant "chill vibe" of the place, one would almost think they were on the island as life runs at a different pace beachside. They certainly got that in spades here. Just as I was about to slither into a state of total relaxation, Michelle brought forth our enticing edibles. The Ultimate Cheeseburger was just that...ultimate. First off, the bun was toasted (cheer), the burger was freshly formed in the back and grilled to the perfect medium-rare. As if that was not enough it was topped with real, honest to Green Giant fresh, hand cut mushrooms! I know, right?! The mushrooms were, to my guess, sauteed with the onions and draped over the melted cheese like so much icing on a meat cake. Oh, I almost forgot the glorious pieces of consummately grilled meat candy (bacon) between the layer of mushrooms/onions and a freshly sliced tomato. This was the first cheeseburger I have had that actually lived up to the menu name of being the "Ultimate." Well done, Cafe in Paradise. Well. Done. Turning my discerning eyes towards the Soho Reuben, I thought it was time to put the Ultimate Cheeseburger down and finish the job at hand (reviewing, not scarfing down deliciously grilled cow flesh with meat candy). The Soho Reuben came as advertised, piled high with freshly sliced pastrami and including a grilled knockwurst, freshly cut onions and what had to be homemade Russian dressing on perfectly toasted slices of some of the best tasting marbled rye bread I have yet had. The imported Swiss used certainly put this sammich over the top. The cheese had a subtle, taste with a strong finish as only the best Swiss cheese does. The crisp kosher dill spear on the side was the cherry on top of this dish. It was crisp, tasty and added a lovely finish to the melded flavors of this amazing representation of the Reuben. This place is good. This place is wonderful. This place is worthy of a BBDO 5 star rating. All day, every day. The Big Boy says, "If you are looking for amazing burgers and flavorful sandwiches with servers on the top of their game, come to Cafe in Paradise, enjoy the chill vibe and excellent food. Just leave your parrot outside!" #iamthebigboy #bigboydiningout read more

Food was good but the restaurant was pretty upset because the boss didn't show up and there was no one to seat guests or accept payment. It was very disruptive and I witnessed people leaving without paying. Otherwise our wait person was very stressed but nice and efficient. Corned beef has was good, country fried pork was good. Eggs cooked perfectly. One note I asked for wheat toast and got rye toast. I didn't request a change because I like rye. read more

The food looks like it was frozen and put in a microwave. My waffles were literally frozen waffles. The service was sub par. The ladies seemed rushed and were short with customers. They didn't even greet us when we got there. But seriously, I got frozen waffles read more

Total rip off menu says soda is $2.95 was charged $4.50 per soda. Cost of our drinks was more then one third of our breakfast

Did a call in order for takeout. I had the Philly style steak sandwich with potato salad and it was very good. Wanted to help spread the word that as of April 2nd they were still open for pickup orders. Also note that they currently close at 1PM Not 2PM like Yelp states. read more

Now called Manny's. Great Food and service. Home style feel and home style food. Omelets are excellent as is the coffee and corned beef hash. Worth stopping in! read more

This place was phenomenal i ordered the hungry man and the country fried stake with eggs and i loved how they cooked it. it was throughly cooked just how i liked! my waitress Christina was very kind and friendly.Would definitely come again! read more

This place seems to be doing alright since taking over JP Mattys. Good food, ANYTIME...breakfast or lunch. Some Items have changed since the new owners took over and their service is a bit slower than I remember. We are locals, so we used to frequent this place. However, we easily spend over $30 for BREAKFAST. And that's not because we ordered a lot of food. There are less than a handful of breakfast joints, and this one seems to be holding out at the top. The new decor is nice and clean, and the building signage has finally been switched. However, the menu is still JPM. read more

My favorite place for breakfast! I've never had a bad meal here. Wanda and her husband always make you feel like family as soon as you step in the door. read more

Wanda and I have eaten here twice since our July visit/review. Unfortunately, our most recent experiences have not been as pleasant as our previous visit. Like a lot of new restaurants, it appears the management may be experiencing a cash flow problem and have cut corners in food preparation that will impact their business. For example: one of the things we really liked about our breakfast in July was the home fries...complete with onions and peppers which really distinguished this menu item (and this restaurant) from most if not all of the other places in Indian River County. Last week, no onions and peppers - only potatoes...ugh! Additionally, we like to eat crispy bacon. In July the bacon was crispy with a hickory smoked taste that encouraged our last two visits. Last week, the bacon was crispy, but tasteless. I've never eaten card board, but I can't imagine the taste being an improvement. They have had sufficient time to smooth out all of the glitches which accompany any new restaurant, but they haven't. Furthermore, the service was mediocre, the menu prices have increased beyond reason, and overall, the food has declined. From speaking to the service staff, it appears the owners are northerners who have retired to Sebastian and brought with them the flavor of their home. That might work if the restaurant was in New Jersey - but this is the South. We like our food specifically prepared, tasty and reasonably priced. If the owners wish to cater only to the "snowbirds" who flock here during the Winter, perhaps they should advertise that. Otherwise, perhaps they could spend some time thinking about the clientele living in Indian River County and plan their food service accordingly. It's clear from our conversations and from those we've overheard, the owners are fairly set in their ways...and I don't predict much improvement in their food service. We really thought we had found a good restaurant - which was refreshing, since there are few good restaurants in this area. However, we were mistaken...and won't be returning any time soon. read more

Top notch little diner. Service is fast and the food is very good. The steak and eggs are a must try. Trust me. It can get a little busy but I don't usually wait more than 15 minutes read more

My husband and I finally stopped in for breakfast, and we'll be going back! I had cornbeef hash and eggs, delicious. My husband had Nova Scotia salmon on a bagel with hash browns and loved it. The service was quick and friendly. The coffee is amazing. read more

I think this place is severely overrated. We used to love JP Mattys and gave the new ownership a fair shot I believe. First visit was ok, working out new ownership quirks I thought. Second visit showed price increases and terrible service. Worst part was that half of the terrible service came from the owner herself upon bringing up our issues with the visit. Snotty and definitely did not care that a group of customers would not return. There's many other places in Sebastian I'd much rather spend my money in than at cafe not in paradise. read more

Food is pretty much the same, but the speed of service is much slower and the warmth is missing.

When in Sebastian, this is one of the places to stop in. The breakfast was good the French toast was awesome huge to say the least. Bagels fresh. Service was good and friendly. Coffee was fresh. read more

Good food served quickly and plenty of it. Clean and friendly, great for breakfast or lunch. They close at 2 pm. Great place for quick in and out eating. No real complaints. read more

Great breakfast and more....friendly and fast service also. Have been here quite a few times during my three visits to Sebastian this year and they never disappoint. read more

Food always good but as others have said service has changed. Once food was delivered I never saw the waitress again after she left for a larger party . No checking for refills and a wait for the check long after someone had cleared my place for me. read more

We love this place. Food is always great...consistently and that is important! They have the fresher fruit boos around!!! You can't beat the prices either for such quality food and service! read more

so peaceful and quiet unlike my house, service is fast like faster than a race car! but 10/10 RECOMMEND

My friend told me they had found this little jewel yesterday and had breakfast there and that is was very good, so my husband I and I went this morning to try it out ourselves. The restaurant isn't large and it is in a small strip mall. Aside from that it is decorated in a very cute and comfortable beach décor. We were served immediately by a pretty young waitress with a smile on her face. The service was impeccable and the food came out hot and in a timely fashion. I ordered the eggs benedict and home fries for $7.95 and my husband ordered the special for $6.50 which included 2 eggs, 3 bacon, and a half of a Belgian waffle. Everything we ate was delicious. I would highly recommend this hometown café. We will go back for sure and the menu is pretty large with a lot of choices. I would like to go back and also try their lunch menu. I hope this review helps you make the choice to go try this place out. read more

very consistent food here, pancakes are great. b-fast and lunch are always very good.

Excellent fast service, large portions of most selections and very friendly staff. The decor is nice and the dining is very clean. I've had breakfast twice so far and look forward to more visits to try other selections from the breakfast menu. I haven't been to the lunch offering yet but would like to get there as well. read more

For those of us who have food allergies, we know how difficult it is to find an allergy friendly place especially when going through a small town. And the anxiety of having to try somewhere new is always gut wrenching. Well, don't pass up stopping by for breakfast at the Cafe in Paradise. I have a severe soy allergy. I won't die if exposed, but I do get so sick that I want to . It makes for a terrible day. I usually don't have a problem with breakfast places if I just order plain eggs and bacon cooked with butter. I wanted something different and ordered the Veggie Benedict (wouldn't eat the English muffins). I mentioned to Valerie that I had the soy allergy and to please not use vegetable oil in cooking my dish. She came back to the table with a holindaise sauce seasoning and had me look at the ingredients. It contained soy, so I ordered something else. Valerie and the chef saved me from a whole lot of hurt. I can get away with little exposures, such as chocolate, but exposures via liquid form, such as in sauces or soy milk, gives me severe chest pain and there is nothing I can take to get relief. So, fellow allergy prone people, if you are looking for a delicious hometown breakfast, stop by Cafe in Paradise and say hi to Valerie for me. read more
