Beautiful ambiance , inside and outside. Very spacious yet cozy enough where you feel like society is really coming together . The staff is very nice. However this is one of those cafes where it's strictly for the aesthetics and that's alright, every business has its purpose . I wish there was a more of selection of everything, none of the drinks , food or pastries stood out to me. The drinks are just as aesthetically pleasing as the cafe itself. read more

Paradis - Everything scone - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - San Diego, California

Such a pretty and aesthetic cafe in Hillcrest hidden inside a hotel. My favorite part was the seating inside that was like an open atrium, sheltered from the loud traffic outside. The menu offers a Spanish focused brunch and seasonal drinks. Their baked goods on display also looked delicious. I really enjoyed my avocado toast with a perfect medium egg and a drizzle of chili oil on top. My seasonal matcha was not as great as I was hoping (very milky and not matcha forward) but my friend enjoyed her mocktail. The service was wonderful and didn't wait for anything past 10 minutes! read more

Unbelievably cute, unbelievably delicious! I stopped by on a whim this morning and it turns out today is their opening day! For an official opening, this place has it together (both service-wise and flavor-wise), which gives me a lot of hope for their future. I got a breakfast sandwich and a decaf mexican mocha, both of which were SO YUMMY. The bacon was perfectly tender, yet crispy, and the eggs, which I think are cooked in chorizo seasoning, were out if this world. If I wasn't watching my weight, I would've ordered 3 more sandwiches! The mocha was also perfection. I'm usually afraid of mochas being too sweet and filled with syrup and chocolate sauce - not the case here. Velvety, dark chocolate-y, and just a LITTLE spicy, this mocha hit the spot in all the right ways. The space itself is great, too! The main room has plenty of space for tapas and conversations, and their back patio is dog friendly and decorated in really chic styles, yet not so overindulgent that I felt out of place in jeans and a t-shirt. Everything here feels very upscale, but the atmosphere is so welcoming, everyone working here greets you with a smile and nod, that it's hard to not feel at home. I'll definitely have to swing by sometime for their dinner hour, when they apparently start serving all kinds of tapas, cocktails, and mocktails. If their pintxos are as delicious as their breakfast sandwiches are, then that diet I'm on is about to meet its untimely end! read more

I'm not joking when say I spent a literal 7 hours in this cafe!!! I needed a place to do some homework and am so so glad I found this place. I am OBSESSED with the vibes of this cafe, it's in a cute pink building and their outdoor seating area is so cute it's like a quick trip to a Paris. Even the inside seating is nice and comfy. The baristas were so sweet and made my drinks so yummy. The peppermint mocha was so delicious and festive I wish it wasn't a seasonal drink and the sugar cookie latte was very sweet and yum. But my god was the cubano sandwich fire. The pork belly, cornichons, and the miso mustard all blended together so nicely,,, I wish I was eating one rn read more

This is my second time here. The coffee (especially hot coffee) and pastries are a solid 9/10. Delicious and very well made. Today I stopped in and got an avocado toast and matcha latte. The matcha was a 1/10. As shown in the pic it's extremely milked down so you pretty much pay for milk and a drop of matcha. The avocado toast was okay but I've had better. It was DRENCHED in oil and wasn't cut in half. I know it's a bit picky but the toast ended up being soggy and fell apart. Especially for $36 it should be a bit more well done. Love the ambiance and staff is friendly. I'll def come back but I'd avoid the matcha and avo toast. read more

I live down the street and am so glad we have this space now! It's really nice that the food is *excellent* (same kitchen as the delicious Communion). I come here with my older dog and the staff are always so nice to us. Super cute decor, too. It's hard to find a good croissant in the US, and these folks do it well. read more

Pastries and coffee are great! Customer service is severely lacking. To be specific, Alonzo is extremely rude. Very short and snappy and made my friends and I feel very unwelcome. He alone may be the reason we don't return. read more

I work remotely and came here because I saw a TikTok on this being one of the better places to work remotely from. I must have came on the wrong day but the back patio was closed due to construction so I had to sit in the actual cafe. Drink: 5/5 I got an iced latte and it was reasonably priced and yummy. It was served in a cute glass. The barista brought it directly to me at my seat. Food: -- I did not order food. Will have to go back and try their food once their patio opens. Staff: 10/5 Really nice barista and I also saw another person their kind of overseeing things. I thought their service was kind, fast and didn't find delays as other reviews suggested. Ambience: 1/5 This rating is for the indoor cafe only as the outdoor cafe was closed. There was a big ole pole blocking things and a big farmhouse like table occupying a lot of space in the cafe. The music was very loud and I had my noise canceling headphones on and I could still hear the music. It was hard to balance. Seating: 0/5 There is a big old table in the middle of the restaurant that was occupied by others. No problem. When I went to pull up to the countertop, the counters were so much higher than the seats. This was the same on both the lower bar and the regular bar. I felt like a small child sitting in an adult chair at an adult-sized table. I will have to go back once their patio is opened and I also want to try their food. read more

Coffee and food are great and worth checking out. They have what could be a very nice patio to sit on, but the ambiance is killed by the awful and loud music. I have no clue why anyone would design an awesome space that feels like you are sitting in a paradise and then ruin it with "clap, clap, stomp" music. read more

sooo cute! This place is in a condo building, the building itself is super cute and has a cool vibe. We came here right after the grand opening on a weekday morning. Very chill pace, few people in there but not overly busy. They have a super spacious area overall; they has seating in front of the cafe, inside and an outdoor area in the back. We tried some of their pastries and lattes, they were both great! They have lots of pastries to choose from, I will definitely be coming back to try some more. read more

Tara is truly the most amazing human to grace the service industry. As a restaurant ops manager it's hard for me to find a place that I enjoy yet feel kinda self focused. They are the perfect amount of attentiveness to make me feel taken care of but not enough to disrupt any meetings or peaceful time. I have spent two birthdays here in the last few weeks as well as a few remote office days and I will continue to come here for such. I hate to leave this review incase it makes me coming not as easy due to overflow of people but I believe y'all deserve the love . You executed my favorite space in SD . Selfish me is happy! read more

Everything about Paradis was perfect. Their menu is small but quality. Don't even get me started on how beautiful the decor and inside is. It's a beautiful balance of feminine and jungle with a sprinkle of French We loved our experience here and loved even more that it was dog friendly. Can't wait to go back! read more

Dont bother!! Food is awful and service is worse. The corner location is impossible to park and not worth finding as it is just the worst.

I like this place for coffee and pastries in the morning but I would not recommend the flatbread in the evening bites. I looked through the other food photos on here and thought the evening bites food looked good. I didn't see any reviews for the flatbread but thought I'd give it a try. It was not enjoyable, all the toppings didn't stick to the bread at all, they slid off easily and the cheese was slimy. The ingredients didn't come together well on the flatbread. read more

This is one of the newer coffee shops in San Diego. It's absolutely beautiful on the inside. They use high quality coffee from San Francisco - Ritual. The only thing that got to me was the young man that run me up. He seemed like he wanted to be anywhere else but there. The girl in the back was making drinks solo. I'll have to visit again hoping to get a better experience! read more

We loved Paradis! The staff and Saturday brunch were amazing. So many spins on different dishes to make them exciting. You order at the counter (coffee shop style) and they bring your food to your table. The interior and patio are very well done. The hubs and I shared their Italian sandwich, added the side salad, and the Stracciatella Toast, which I would easily eat every day if I could -- I didn't know what to expect of the Toast since I had never heard of it, and was I sooooo glad I ordered it. A major highlight. I also loved sitting at their big communal table with other guests. A huge shout out to the staff who were super pleasant and willing to answer any questions. We'll be back to enjoy their patio for sure. We were stopping by our friend's house after breakfast so brought her the gluten free carrot cake and the yogurt parfait...she was absolutely thrilled! There is no dedicated parking, so factor that into your visit as you'll have to walk a bit, which we love doing anyway! read more

Would not recommend. Staff are clueless and rude. Asked if an item (farro porridge) had any nuts because our daughter is allergic to a certain nut. After shrugging their shoulders to have to go ask the cooks, they came back and said yes and walked away quickly. We asked what kind of nuts and he (young guy w/bleached hair) just said with a blank stare, "I dunno" and continued to wipe the counter and turn their back to us. This was in front of 3 other staff members who heard the response and just stared and asked us what we want to order. We will not be coming back and will be letting folks know to not entertain a visit here. Advice to management/owner: Get better staff with higher EQ. read more

Wow this place cute! We came on a Tuesday around 1pm hoping to get some food and coffee but they didn't have the breakfast or evening menu available so we just grabbed some light bites from the display case. The food and drinks were great and there was plenty of seating. I don't suggest bringing your work laptops because the tables are small but it is dog friendly and there are clean bathrooms. read more

Really want to like this place but the first time we went the breakfast sandwich was and and now this time the pan the quiche came in was burnt and we didn't realize until after eating it and that was not a fun experience. read more

Beautiful tucked away cafe with lots of natural lighting and greenery. They have a lovely indoor courtyard through the back that I don't think many know about just yet. They also hold wine tastings and pop ups. Service here is excellent. Everyone here is super friendly and attentive. It's become my go to spot for coffee and lunch. Paradis is a welcome addition to Mission Hills. read more

Food was delicious and served with happiness and comfort setting highly recommend the service was great

Rating clearly for service - the gal who took our order was friendly and cheerful complete opposite of the gentleman with the frosted hair top who delivered our order - it wasn't his morning! read more

The ambience is charming and chic. The savory food, pastries, and drinks are all delicious. My favorite is the matcha latte. The staff are super helpful and friendly. This is one of my favorite places to take visiting friends and family to wow them with the neighborhood coffee options! read more

Comment is for coffee shop downstairs: Coffee is good. Atmosphere is very nice. As is the staff. But getting the coffee is very slow! Maybe better go to heart works across the street if you need your coffee in less than 15-20 minutes. read more

It is a cute place with plenty of seating. We ordered a cold brew, brewed coffee, breakfast sandwich and a sweet focaccia. After we ordered and sat down I was told they did not have cold brew & it seemed like it was an inconvenience to them. The focaccia was very dry, tasted old and we did not eat it. The breakfast sandwich was decent. read more

Relaxing space, inside and in center courtyard. Also a very fun and inviting staff. Coffee was great.

Beautiful cafe, super cozy and amazing to get work done. Staff was friendly, asked for recommendations and they suggested to try the blueberry and vanilla latte which was incredible and they also suggested the Spanish Fried Potatoes this place definitely hit the spot! read more

Paradis is the new hot spot in my neighborhood! We went to the grand opening and it was really great energy. The food and drinks are overpriced for sure for the size of the food but it is a good happy hour spot! The coffee isnt anything special and tasted a little sugary but I think it would be different if I had got it hot. The gin drink was cool! They did tell us they make it in front of us but they just dropped it off and none of that happened. Very strong gin! read more

Cool menu, but very small portions. Many people on the patio were waiting to go to the other restaurant upstairs. Cute place but wouldn't go out of my way to go back read more

I got an iced matcha with their vanilla syrup and oat milk (because they had run out of any regular milk options) and it was definitely good! But I sat there with my friend for 15 min waiting for my drink while the place was nearly empty until she encouraged me to go up and check on my drink. Normally I never go and ask for updates on an order or where it is but it had been a while considering there was only one other couple that had ordered ahead of me and no one had come in the shop since. When I went up to ask about it the girl who I had ordered from at the register didn't seem to remember what I ordered so I listed out the order again. The manager or owner was walking by at the time and took over and said they'd make it right away and it came out in a couple minutes. Mistakes happen but just a little awkward! Pretty interior and exterior although it is located on the corner of a busy intersection so outdoor seating is very lively. read more
