The service is friendly, the manager Troy and the Owners are absolutely amazing for allowing the beautiful and talented Diva Whorchata do what she does, and that is creating shows that are entertaining, safe, sober, and already community spaces. I will be returning due to the drag shows that go on here as well as going to support safe spaces in the community! For everyone I don't have any photos because I am consistently entertained the entire time being there, you'll just have to experience it yourself! ‍

Good News Bar is such a gem -- especially if you love mocktails, kava, adaptogen elixirs, and…read morenon‑alcoholic beverages. They do not serve booze or cocktails, but they absolutely give you that cocktail‑bar vibe we all love: moody lighting, great music, intentional flavors, and a social, elevated atmosphere without the alcohol. Located in Hillcrest, parking can be a little tough, but once you're inside, the space is calm, cool, and super comfortable (AC blasting, cozy seating throughout). They're open in the morning for coffee, tea, and AM mocktails, and stay open into the evening with their full NA drink menu. One of my favorite things: they do a seasonal rotating menu. I just went in for summer and some of the drinks were fresh‑fruit‑forward and tropical. If you want the full bar experience minus the hangover, this is it. The concept is meaningful, giving ode to rapper Mac Miller and inspired by his song "Good News" to honor him and spread awareness around addiction. It adds heart and intention to the space. They also offer pastries, popcorn, and even function as a great NA bottle shop if you want to take something home. A beautiful, welcoming, sober‑friendly bar that nails the cocktail‑bar vibe -- without the alcohol.

It just reminded me all over again why this is one of those places I find myself wanting to come back to again and again. There's something about it that feels so thoughtful and special, from the ambiance to the way the team genuinely takes care of people. What stands out every time is how warm, intentional, and wonderful the staff is. They really do make you feel welcomed and cared for, and that kind of hospitality is such a huge part of what makes a place memorable. On top of that, they have such a great variety of offerings, coffee, tea, bites, and then as the day rolls on, a lovely wine selection and small plates that make it such a cute little spot for an afternoon reset or a midweek pick-me-up with the girls. I also love sneaking away there when I want to get outside and get a little work done. Their courtyard is truly the cutest and somehow always feels inspiring, peaceful, and just like a little pocket of charm in the middle of the day. And beyond that, I really appreciate how intentional they are about creating community, whether through wine tastings or other little events that make the space feel alive and welcoming. I was there earlier today and they had a wine tasting happening in the courtyard, which just felt so perfectly them. It's always such a gift to have neighborhood places like this that clearly put so much care into what they're creating. Paradis really is one of those gems that makes you want to tell other people about it.

Lots of plants, seating and some tabletop games. Tried: Turkey Panini $17 - this was huge, definitely shareable. The bread was a little doughy but had a nice toast on the outside. There was a small piece of plastic wrap in the sandwich which I luckily saw before consuming. If you zoom in you can see it underneath the lettuce on the left sandwich. Too much garlic aioli on this. Breakfast croissant $12 - bacon was a little burnt. I liked this better than the sandwich. Nice kick. Kyoto cold brew coffee $6 was excellent. It does not need milk. It is very smooth. They use a specialized drip machine for this coffee. Berry seasonal latte $7.50 was sweet even at half sweet. They have a punch card for their drinks which is nice. On a second visit I came back for their Kyoto cold brew to go and was given regular iced coffee that was very bitter. Very disappointing that I wasn't given what I ordered and didn't realize it until I had gotten home.

All the staff were friendly and made you feel like a friend and jovial. It has a cool outdoor seating area with a wall of board and card games. The order: Yogurt and fruit cup (non-dairy) for son son Turkey club for daddy,, maynnn the sandwich was loaded, roasted turkey, bacon, arugula, white cheddar, and funky black garlic aioli that took it over the top. Add in the funky pickle and I am sold. Hasherole & iced coffee for mommy - this is a winner. Cheesy has brown casserole with herb aioli. Wow what a home run, cheesy, crunchy, gooey, and a sauce that takes it over the top. The best part is we stayed at an air BnB right next to this cool spot. We'd come back again.

You wouldn't think the the fig jam would be strange with egg, but it worked very well here and was delicious. It brought everything together nicely. The cortado was well made and smooth. The service was very good at the coffee bar, I appreciated the owner/the chef came out to inquire on how I enjoyed my meal and coffee. The service was very friendly.

The pistachio waffle was outstanding--beautifully balanced, not overly sweet, and topped with incredibly fresh fruit that made every bite taste light and refreshing. The lox bagel was hands down the best I've ever had. The lox was exceptionally fresh, the proportions were perfect, and every ingredient tasted high quality. Even the simple cheese omelette was good, crispy tater tots. The drinks were just as impressive. The ube latte was rich, smooth, and absolutely delicious, and my boyfriend couldn't stop talking about how much he loved the Sunset drink. The vibe of the restaurant was great!

Think Mexico City with some great regional twists. There were 5 of us, so we got to try most of the menu. It's small but mighty! A few of my favorites were the tetela (pictured), the bone marrow sopes, and the mole blanco. We had a chance to chat with two of the partners, and they're clearly passionate about creating something really unique and special. I got to talking with one of them about the tequila completo, which comes with sangrita. He ended up whipping some up at the bar -- a first for most of us at the table, and just a really nice touch to the evening. Go eat good food here and support this amazing new concept -- we want to keep it in the neighborhood!

Items such as scrupulously prepared meatballs, fried polenta, spaghetti with mushroom sauce, etc., from the prior next-door, connected purveyor "Soda and Swine"...but those days are done ...I digress. And where is Soda and Swine's Yelp page? I know I did a review, but now the page appears gone completely in search? Nah, it's just hidden, presumably to accommodate Fortunate Sons, which opened about a year ago after re-construction of both establishments. I'm too lazy to see if still owned by Consortium Group. I did search my reviews and found my updated Soda & Swine review dated 8 & 10 years ago. O_o !! Now, food is still served, however, there's a new name in town called "Fortunate Son" (next door, connected). Apparently, food now served is Asian-inspired. I've not visited recently to taste. The North Park area is a great neighborhood with many different types of food close by.

We were a large birthday group of about 11-12 people, and they seated us even before everyone arrived, which was appreciated. Our waiter, John, was excellent -- friendly, attentive, and checked on us throughout the night. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, lively but not too loud. Food was a mix. The lettuce salad was disappointing and overpriced for what it was, and the huge lettuce leaves were awkward to eat. The beet dish was much better -- flavorful, slightly sweet, with cheese and nuts. The tartiflette was the star of the night, 10/10, and everyone loved it. The ratatouille was light and flavorful. I didn't try the New York steak, but everyone who did loved it. For dessert, the chocolate mousse was the favorite. I liked the soufflé, although some in our group thought it tasted a little eggy. Overall, great service, nice atmosphere, and a few standout dishes. I'd come back, especially for the tartiflette and chocolate mousse.

I will say though outdoor seating outside is luck of the draw depending on what's happening in the neighborhood. Not to the restaurant's fault but I'd definitely opt for indoor seating if you want to hear each other better. I loved our server and really wished I remembered his name. He was honest and ready with recommendations. For food we definitely overdid it. The duck was a huge portion already but I feel like you cant go to a French restaurant and not get the French Onion Soup. While the tuna crudo was definitely different I wouldn't go for it again. Same for the grilled yu choi. Overall, we had a fun little date night with bites and drinks as we took in the eclectic nature of North Park.

You ring the doorbell, wait patiently, and once you're inside, you realize this isn't your typical coffee shop. It's a place to slow down, enjoy the music, and savor your drink. Monique and Danica were both amazing. They're warm, welcoming, and you can really see the passion behind what they do. Danica is also the DJ, and her eclectic playlist made the whole experience even better. One of my favorite parts was just sitting there watching our drinks being made. You can see the care and craft that goes into every cup...even the Kuramoto ice is beautiful. The Matcha Americano completely changed my perception of matcha. The Kyoto cold brew pour-over was fascinating to watch and incredibly smooth. We loved it so much that we came back the very next day. This time I had the Midori, and my brother-in-law loved the Highball, especially the yuzu. No laptops. Trust the DJ. Drinks are meant to be enjoyed fresh, so take your time. If you're looking for a quick coffee run, this isn't it. But if you appreciate great coffee, good music, and people who are passionate about their craft, Long Play Hi-Fi is absolutely worth the visit.
