Last night we ate out at Paradise Bakery and Cafe off of 72nd South in Salt Lake City. Paradise Bakery and Cafe is a Franchise based out of and was established in 1976.
I ordered the Chicken Artichoke Panini Sandwich. It was about a 7 out of 10. My wife ate the Thai Chicken Sandwich. She liked it.
The pros of Paradise Bakery and cafe are that they have a wide selection on their menu. They have various sandwiches, soups and salads. They also have a decent selection of desserts.
The cons of the Paradise Bakery and Cafe definitely outweigh the pros. I didn't like the atmosphere...too big. It almost felt like you were in the school lunchroom. I had two major issues with the way that Paradise Bakery and Cafe operates. The first is that they reuse their cups. Are they so cheap that they can't give you paper cups that you can throw away or take with you? Second was the fact that their food is pre-packaged! At least some of it. My wife originally wanted their Thai Chicken Wrap but when she asked them to make it without the green onions they said that they couldn't because they come pre-packaged. To me that's a huge turn off...especially for an establishment that calls itself a "bakery".
I would have to give Paradise Bakery and Cafe about a 6 out of 10. Go try it for yourself and let me know what you think!

That makes me sad because everytime I drive by I think how I need to try that place. Now it doesn't sound so great! Thanks for the info.
Must be nice to be able to drive to SLC whenever you get a tummy ache. How about reviewing some eateries in the Provo area for those of us who can't afford precious gasoline? We don't all have a Mortgage planner's salary, after all...
Adam,
I'll try to make it down to the home of the Cougars some time in the next month. Any suggestions on restaurants, cafes, or delis to try??
Go Cougs!!
