They offered one kind of bread - soft brown (not multigrain as advertised), or they had an old heel of sourdough available (not restocked for a Monday morning?). The sandwich was tasteful enough with fresh greens and stone ground mustard. The panini had zero flavor except for the olives, so actually it tasted like olives. \n\nCafe Paradiso feels very dirty inside. The decor is shabby and the men's bathroom is disgusting. The food prep area in front appears clean, but looking further past isn't advisable. I poured two waters, took a sip, and noticed something black floating in the bottom. My girlfriend's glass wasn't clean either. \n\nAt this point we thought about heading to Jimmy John's but we like to support local businesses whenever possible. And we were still feeling hopefully optimistic. \n\nThe service is mediocre. The guy making the sandwiches saw me order and I stood near the counter while he made them. He placed the sandwiches on the counter, called them out, then turned his back even though I was standing three feet away. I wasn't asking to be best friends but the service is friendlier at Panera then at Cafe Paradiso. \n\nWe chose Paradiso because I wanted a decent cup of coffee, which I didn't bother with after the disappointment of the sandwiches."^^ . .
