Paradise Cove Cafe

This was a wonderful place to stop and eat and happy that someone suggested it because we would’ve never really found it. It’s this little cafe that sits in the corner next to a Trader Joe’s. Before you even walk in there’s a cozy outside area to eat, I’d you choose. The staff was very polite and friendly and seemed to know a lot of their customers. We ordered breakfast and got several dishes from pancakes, eggs, omelette, hash browns, toast, drinks and bottom less mimosas (for the ones that could have it). Everything tasted great Ava the portion sizes were decent with an average cost. The morning was a bit busy but probably because they close at 2:00 pm. There’s plenty of parking and the bathrooms were clean, which is always a plus. This is definitely a place we’ll return to when in the area and looking for breakfast.

I was excited to try this spot as it had wonderful reviews and seemed like a local gem for good eats. However, the service I had was horrible. From the moment I walked in, it was evident the people there did not want to serve me. I had my service animal with me who obviously was very well behaved and it is our right to dine there. My server barely said hi to me, they assumed I’d leave and took forever to take my order. When I finally got my food they didn’t bring me silverware, were ignoring me, and were surprised when I finally asked due to another server saying I was leaving (I never was). The food was good but ultimately the service was terrible and very unwelcoming.

Had chicken and waffles, I wish there was a little for waffle but the chicken pieces were massive, I could only finish half the plate. Servers didn’t interact much. Overall great spot :)

We have been coming here since we moved to the desert three years ago. They do have one of the best pancakes you can get. However, this last visit had us pause on a major quality drop on both food and service. We came in around 8AM on a Sunday. The restaurant was not very busy, as we are still in the summer timing when the snowbirds have yet to arrive. We got seated quickly, drink orders taken and delivered, but the waitress took a long time to get to our table. When she finally did, she was void of any personality. When I asked if I could have an omelet made with egg whites, she did not acknowledge if they could or couldn't. I finally repeated the ask and she just nodded. Maybe she had trouble spelling egg whites as she was writing something down...anyway...two other couples arrive and are seated, drinks taken and their orders also taken. Both tables who came in five minutes after us received their food before we did. Ours finally came out and Miss Egg Whites couldn't remember who ordered them of the two of us at the table. The food was luke warm at best. The toast I ordered was hand broken, meaning they just snapped in versus cutting it with a knife and presented like a real restaurant. The food was likely sitting on the counter as she pre-served two other tables that came in after us. We had to wave down someone to refill coffee. Just not what we've come to expect here. Will we come back? Likely, we will try it again, but will give them a rest for a bit. If we see the same type of service and bad food quality, after a second chance, they'll be off the list as there are so many other great places for breakfast in the valley.

Servers are nice but forget to return with the forgotten items, the bread didn't arrive with the food that took forever too, portions are small and the guacamole was a little blackish dollop on our plate. The eggs were yummy but thats about it. We won't go back.

I give ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ to Daniela, our server.
The kitchen however needs to pay more attention to the meats in the warmer.
I had an omelette filled with chopped bacon, ham, & sausage.
It was barely edible, but I was starving so I got most of it down with a ton of ketchup. I don’t like to make a fuss so I ate most of it. The meat was so dry and chewy, having worked in a restaurant kitchen before could only surmise these meats sat at the bottom of a warming pan far too long. My son’s sausage patty that came with his DELICIOUS pancakes was in really poor condition as well. I would never plate or consider putting this dried up cr@p on any customers plate or omelette. I would toss it and get some fresh food available pronto.
Daniela did the right thing and reduced some of the bill. Her customer service was stellar and she was very professional. For this reason alone I will come back and give this place another shot.

The first couple of times here food was good.

The last two time ordering the same omelet they could not get my order correct.

The wait was an hour for food.

I asked for NO CHEESE.

TWO TIMES IT CAME WITH CHEESE.

LAST TIME EATING HERE.

IHOP can handle a simple order and get it to us quickly.
