Crema's Take

Paradise Park Cafe is an Emeryville gem that shines brightest for its exceptional food—regulars rave about the avocado toast and tater tots that genuinely stand out from typical cafe fare, alongside solid sandwiches like their pastrami Reuben. The breezy outdoor seating and genuinely sweet staff create a welcoming spot for lingering over breakfast or lunch, though opinions on the coffee itself seem to take a backseat to the kitchen's stronger offerings.

I really want to like this place. It’s very cute inside, nice tables outside, and there’s really nothing else comparable nearby. But I don’t. I visited for the third time since it opened today. My coffee was room temperature. The broccoli soup was also room temperature and underseasoned. The hummus was extremely salty. Table service men setting down the plates on the table but not asking who had what or where they should go. You’re supposed to bus your own table, which means the tables are not always clean. Ours had crumbs on it and there were crumbs on the chairs as well. It’s popular but I have to assume that is mostly because there is nothing comparable nearby.

Literally THE best tater tots and avocado toast. I get the avocado toast whenever I come here. Can't even get it anywhere else now because it doesn't compare to here. Honestly everything on their menu is really good. Their coffee is also amazing! Definitely recommend stopping by here (and getting their avocado toast)

Disappointed by this cafe. My daughter and I went there for lunch on a Friday afternoon and were excited about the menu of sandwiches, especially the hot chicken with spicy aïoli. Because we had our dog with us, we sat outside in the sun on a beautiful day. The traffic on San Pablo was very loud and we sat there for 25 minutes waiting for our two sandwiches. Although the place was not full, it appeared that they did not have proper staffing because many of diners had order tents on the table waiting for their food to arrive. We were starving. and were so happy that our sandwiches finally arrived. Although the baguette was crusty and the spicy aïoli tasty, the inside of the sandwich was made up of iceberg, lettuce, and sad, tomatoes, and onions-it essentially looked like a Safeway sandwich. On top of that, the side was ruffles potato chips which was lazy and cheap. Btw, you can substitute the chips for a salad for $3 extra - really? Sadly I won’t be returning.

Awesome local cafe. Nice crowd. Amazing pastrami Reuben sandwich with super good GF (Costco) grain bread. Never had their coffee.
