POC BewareMy husband and I went to Crested Butte for our honeymoon. We were amped up for a fun trip! But this came to a halt when our first morning there we decided to go out for breakfast. We chose the paradise cafe. We walked in the restaurant and stood by the hostess station- for 15 min. We watched the hostess walk by us several times assuming she was just that busy even though several seats were open. You just never know with Covid-19 how close they are seating people, so we were patient. At about the 15 min mark, the hostess stated "I'll be with you in a moment" and we both said ok. She continued moving about around us without ever giving us that polite customer service smile you receive when they know you've been waiting a while. No worries! We're on our honeymoon and completely chill! My husband picked it up first, even though I've gone through it a million times. I was on my honeymoon! It wasn't until the next WHITE couple walked in behind us. They walked right up to the hostess station- where we were lingering. She immediately walked up to the hostess station, grabbed a pen (or pencil, whatever) and said "good morning, just the two of you?!" My husband politely said excuse me, and asked if there was a problem- to which he was completely ignored. He asked a few more times in multiple polite tones, with no response.. It was disgusting. The feeling of subtle yet, blatant rasicim. It was obvious at that time that- because I am black- we weren't being seated! The level of joy, and politeness she displayed to the couple that walked in after us was like spitting in our face! She literally asked them these questions while we were right next to them. I will NEVER return to this restaurant and will warn any POC and our allies about this service. It was subtlety blatant and overall disgusting. This isn't the 1950's, and we are people too! So disappointed in this restaurant, and if the owners don't believe in this kind of treatment they need to take a good, hard look at their employees and their representation of this restaurant. Because as it stands today- I will forever tell people to avoid not only this city, but this particular restaurant. Just sad.

Food was good, classic American breakfast (although we didn’t have anything “special” to really judge). The staff were incredible and the decor is so cute and sweet. Caramel Frappuccino was awesome and the latter my bf had was bomb. Will return every time!Dietary restrictions: They had a moderate selection of dairy free items. Nothing crazy but all the basics :)

Best breakfast in CB hands down. Perfect eggs benedict, excellent bacon, steak and eggs is surprisingly high quality and perfectly cooked. I had their Mexican Mocha, and boy, was that something new that's definitely bringing me back for more...cayenne + cinnamon. So many other options including gluten free. We hit it on a Tue at 10a and it wasn't too busy.

I had the eggs paradise. It was real good. Service was solid. Will be back.

We love Paradise Cafe! The baileys hot chocolate was delicious, as was the huevos rancheros (giant) and sausage and gravy with eggs and hash browns! The service is wonderful as well.Kid-friendliness: Everyone was so sweet and helpful with our three kids.

Very good coffee for breakfast. We had eggs, bacon and grated potatoes and it was very good. The pleasant welcome. The room is small so it fills up quickly, however we arrived early so no problem. Plus, parking is close.
