Buried in my unfinished reviews is this one. I owe Paradise Bakery an apology as I love this particular location. Lots of seating and always clean. I actually prefer Paradise for dinner, rather than lunch. No parking dilemmas, and the place is nice and quiet. Before this one opened, the nearest location to me was Fashion Square. What a debacle that one is!
My long-time favorite is their chicken salad on molasses bread. I could eat this every day of my life. I have ventured away from it at times, but have always left wishing I had gone with the chicken salad. But wait, there's a new kid in town...the Big Kid Grilled Cheese with gruyere, white cheddar, and American for the all-important meltiness (yes, it's a word). And BACON!!!!!! What bacon can do for a sandwich is mind-boggling. With their creamy tomato soup, it's a match made in my version of heaven.
