I used to drive past this resturant because it didn't look like much on the outside. Not modern. But I decided to stop in when I saw pictures of the desserts online. The food was amazing. The owner stopped by and 80% of the food is homemade, trust me, you can taste it! The employees seem to take pride working there. My only regret is not trying it sooner!

I love Paul’s food.Just wish they had a senior discount.Typically with 2 of us eating dinner it’s around 30-35$ and we only drink water.We normally have leftover food to take home.The pies and cakes look amazing but I heard someone ask the price of a cheesecake and it was 8$ a slice.

My husband and I have been to Paul's in the past but we recently took our 1 year old for breakfast on his 1st birthday and the staff were SO kind! Our waitress surprised us with icecream (his first sweet treat!) and sang him happy birthday. It made his special day feel even more special. The food was great per usual but the environment is the best
