Crispy Chicken Wrap
Kristin ..

Passing through Gunnison and wanted a quick bite from a local place. I unfortunately rolled in ten minutes before closing but they still had patrons and were kind enough to let me order to go. I ordered the crispy chicken wrap and it was fresh and delicious.

Food is just what you want and well cooked. Perfect eggs Fantastic and outgoing staff w smiles. Yeah that still happens in Gunnison. Service was attentive and genuine The inside is cozy, clean and fun place w great people all around. The back patio rocks! Pilar was a sweet and helpful lady who made sure we got everything. Thank you

Good lunch while taking a trip through the mountains. Comfortable, reasonably priced and decent service. The grilled turkey, with delicious bacon, served on sourdough was a hit. Freshly brewed ice tea, with the refill I had to ask for more ice -- Ice goes in iced tea and warm tea, melts the ice. Clean inside. Friendly, nice people at the cafe. Good comfort food, nothing fancy here.

Paradise Cafe is a great breakfast nook located in Crested Butte. Diverse menu offering a wide…read morevariety of breakfast standards in a quaint mountain town dining area. Attentive service kept the meal flowing. We started with Camp 4 Coffee as both a drip and espresso and could not have had a better way to start breakfast. Or so we thought. We saw several of the other tables having the Bloody Mary and we jumped in head first - Paradise's Bloody was the perfect eye opener for a day on the slopes. We ordered the Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and the #4 which is two eggs, hot Polish sausage and a pancake (served with optional REAL maple syrup - frankly, faux maple syrup is an abomination that needs to be banned in all 50 states!) The dishes were delicious, portions were generous, and we could not have been more pleased . Next time we will try the Huevos Rancheros which neighboring tables were tucking into with great abandon. We are regulars at McGills but are very pleased to have discovered Paradise which is now part of our breakfast rotation in Crested Butte.

In God's time we may all be so lucky to find a little slice of heaven on earth.

There's enough banana and nuts in it to make me feel like I'm being healthy, but all that texture is good for my palate and digestion too. Paired up with a Milky Way, I'm levitating, watch me go.

It was very obvious this was a local hangout for breakfast after a short time there. It was as a vet quaint setting from the decorations to the very friendly server. We both had the early bird special, 2eggs, choice of bread and protein and your drink. The food was great, just the perfect amount of food to hold one over for a morning of paddling. Really a great place.

Went for breakfast. If you order something simple like eggs and bacon, you are safe. Don't go near…read moreanything Mexican food inspired. The Chile rellenos were like some terrible version you find in terrible food places like eastern Oklahoma. The star of the relleno should be the chile, not the breading. It was almost all this way overdone breading. Not good at all. The "green chili" was as spicy as milk and equally as flavorful. My brother said the breakfast burrito was terrible. I saw it, and it did not look appetizing. Some of the "green chili" drizzled on top like an afterthought. Dry and uninspired. My son enjoyed his simple plate of bacon, eggs, hash browns, and toast, but those who ordered the Mexican food inspired dishes were majorly disappointed. As far as service, we waited forever to order. Our drinks were constantly empty. The server was very polite but things like missing items, missing silverware, empty coffees and waters starts to add up to a negative experience. Nice views outside and the place is clean so atmosphere is fine, but the rest was severely lacking.
