| - Upon recently arriving from California, my nephew and I stumbled into Paradise Bakery, if only to try their coffee. We were a bit mesmerized by the cookies display, and hugely tempted, but decided to stick to our already calorie-laden coffee drinks for the time being. The coffee was fine, and a pleasant change from the swill served at most Starbucks nowadays.
Upon approaching the exit, we noticed the free sourdough bread samples and dipping sauces, and had to give 'em a try. The sourdough was really good, as much as you can tell from a couple of cubes of the stuff. The dipping sauces, a green pesto sauce and a red tomato-pineapple salsa, were way tasty. We vowed to come back another time to check out the food.
As it turned out, we did make a return trip here to get a loaf of their sourdough bread. They will slice it for you if you ask and it comes to about $4.50/loaf but is well worth it. The thick slices and hearty texture stood up to our homemade patty melts when toasted, and in my opinion, made the burger. This California transplant has found a sourdough worth making a special trip for.
