Paradise Bakery Cafe in Aspen

Great food. Really enjoyed the atmosphere

Beautiful ice creams & sorbets, cookies, muffins... looked so good! I didn't see any gluten free options. Nice and quick service.

Mocha latte & strawberry shake was amazing. Staff was great & friendly

A bit pricey, but quite reasonable for the Aspen area. You get what you pay for, which is great coffee in my experience. I had a very tasty iced mocha that wasnt sickly sweet and had good coffee flavors that weren't hiding behind great chocolate notes. I will return to this nice little place when I'm in the area again!

Poppy seed, orange or blueberry muffins are superb especially when fresh in morning. My wife loved the coffee and quiche, my daughters enjoyed the gelatto. We have now returned 4 days in a row.

Great Gelato and Rootbeer floats!

I don't know how you rate this place less than 5/5. Amazing ice cream and great pastries. What's there to complain about?

Didn't get the hype, it was a fine ice cream shop but nothing to write home about. I have been to much better elsewhere.

Great baked goods and coffee. Personally I don't like their ice cream.

On our way home to Oklahoma, stopped in for scoop of Ice Cream, walked out with a bag of cookies, they are so yummy and a great treat driving home. Everyone was so friendly, great place to check out.

Another go-to place in Aspen. Wonderful service and amazing menu. Everything's delicious

A great place to stop over and have a great meal. The pastries were excellent and the coffee was well brewed.

Super friendly staff even though they were massively busy! My hubby loves their banana chocolate chip muffin, and I gotta say it doesn’t disappoint! Delicious! I enjoyed a waffle cone with a scoop of chocolate brownie fudge and a scoop of wild strawberry..... sooo good! Always a treat to visit beautiful Aspen, especially Paradise Bakery & Cafe!

We tried the mini cups on hot july afternoon. It was one scoop with a small cookie on top. Flavors tried Mango, coffee caramel crunch, vanilla, chocolate and pistachio. Everything was so creamy and fresh. Taste was so good that we went the second time!. This place is very small kind of crowded but the line moves fast. No seating inside, you will find some chairs outside in the city center.

Amazing baking goods, spinach quiche was so yummy and espresso drink were top notch. Great service and all precautions to accommodate customers during COVID-19. Went out to the near by park to enjoy the breaky.

Great service and delicious food!

Great breakfast location that's just what it says - a combination cafe bakery. This is THE bakery in Aspen so it is what it is. There is no seating inside as there is just enough room for a queue. In the morning they have a very wide selection of croissant varieties. However, the chocolate one I bought today was slightly under baked and doughy. Good cafe selection of coffees and teas.

Awesome place to hangout but parking is difficult and the staff is not super friendly. Its pretty crowded during busy summer hours.

Great muffins. The quiche is off the chart good. The cookies are out of this world! Lots Of yummy ice cream flavors as well. They have coffee and tea. Located in the heart of Aspen. FYI no inside seating and it’s more of a desert place than a bakery. No breads etc

Liked the ice cream, but rest of my party did not agree.

We needed good ice cream and we got it . It was a real hot day

It was good. People were very nice. The setting is beautiful. The sugar cookies...not that good.

Yummy ice cream. I love birthday cake flavored.

Lattee was good! But gelato and fudged brownies...

Gelato was ok. More like just soft serve ice cream.

Small and nice bakery. They have a variety of desserts and ice creams. Caramel ice cream was particularly good. I loved the chocolate brownie too.

There was a very friendly staff. The inside of the shop is small and probably can have 20 people inside at a time but it has great outdoor seating nearby.

I adore the oat milk latte! They have muffins that are gluten free and lactose free!!!! The staff is not just nice, they are so kind and lovely people!!! I really adore this place!

There's more than a few really good breakfast restaurants in Aspen, but if you want something quick and to-go, this place is perfect with a decent selection of breakfast items including burritos. And of course, coffee. You really can't go wrong.

Many flavors of ice cream to choose from. The chocolate chip on top tastes great. The wait is long so make sure you have time!

My cinnamon roll was $1 and some change. That's pretty good. Decor was cozy and there was a huge line. Definitely worth checking out.

Best muffins in town! Every time I come to town I make sure to stop here before going to our condo and grab a blueberry muffin for the next morning and an ice cream cone to enjoy whilst watching the sun set in the nearby park. Sometimes this popular place can get crowded with the limited space they have but do not fret because the freshly baked goods, iced coffee and chocolate sweets are worth the wait!

Best blueberry cream cheese croissant I have ever had. Coffee same as other coffee so far in aspen - not to my liking. Order ahead online and pick up or you will be waiting in a long line

It's okay. Not exactly worth the hype.

Update: Tasted great and the reply to our issue is a classy move. Original post: Said they could do a cake for our friend's birthday. Called us morning of to say they wouldn't write what we wanted (thanks. Not exactly good heads up for finding another option). Cake wasn't ready in time, spelled our friend's name wrong. Did a horrible fix job and refused to work

Nice local backery... long lines

Good cookies but the kids working the shop were too busy chatting to get the orders right. I ordered 2 cookies and 2 scoops of ice cream. 1 cookie was replaced with a muffin and 1 scoop of ice cream was wrong. Was able to get the cookie fixed, but what can you do about already scooped ice cream? Parking is limited and expensive.

Pit stopped a couple times during my visit to Aspen. Paradise Bakery is a must when visiting Aspen. The cookies, muffins and gelato are fresh and delicious. The staff were very friendly!! The line moves incredibly fast, so don't be discouraged. Eat and enjoy!

If you're looking for a great place to work that will help you grow as a person and as an employee, work here. I started at Paradise when I was 16, zero workplace communication skills, zero customer service skills, and zero professional experience. In the four years I worked there, management taught me more than any other job has ever taught me. They encouraged me to continue to work hard and go for promotions. They made me a supervisor after 2 years and taught me about running a business. I'm about to graduate college with a business degree and I still mention my at paradise at every job interview and in every class. Their staff is typically teenagers and that's cause paradise helps prepare teenagers for working in the real world. Seriously, if you have a kid at AHS have them work here, it's one of the best things you can do for them!P.S. cappuccino toffee crunch is still the best gelato flavor on the planet!

Nice bakery! Very Good coffee

Best lemonade, best smiles, best cookies, just the best bakery ever! 😛😁

A local dessert shop that you must pop into if you're in town. Excellent baked goods and sweets at reasonable prices. There isn't any inside seating so its more of a quick snack place. A must summer or winter!!

Visited here after yelps recommendation to have coffee and hot chai. They had great variety of options for drinks, food and ice cream. Chai and coffee we tried were pretty great and would love to visit again in future.

Best cherry filled croissants in the mountains

Came in on a Sunday afternoon with a big group of family to enjoy this well rated bakery, when it was our turn to order we were told in order to sample any ice cream we had to pay for it first even if we didn’t know what we wanted. We agreed to this and when it came to sampling ice cream we are limited to sampling 2 only and were told to move the line along, constantly being asked “does anyone know what they want” with horrible looks given and sense of annoyance in their voice. Everyone was forced to make a rash decision as it seemed we were being kicked out the door. The way we were treated was really unfair, everyone else got smiles while my colored family was treated with much disrespect. The staff was really disrespectful as they mocked their customers when any special requests were made. It was a real disappointment.

They sell ice cream and bakery stuff. Ice cream is nice. Staff is customer friendly. Cakes also good.One of the pleasant place I have visited. It is located in the hilly area. Good climate with pure oxygen. Love this place

Worth the calories. There are so many bakeries around the US. Most sell the same things. Cookies, pastries, coffee ice cream. Paradise bakery has been open for as long as I can remember. Located at the same corner in downtown Aspen. Their cookies are simply fantastic. The recipe has been the same for years and are the only pastors worth the calories. Get there early and avoid long lines.Open rain snow or shine. Enjoy!!

Gelato was delicious. Asked the young lady which flavors were gluten free. Ordered my ice cream and she sticks a cookie on the top!!

So yummy with benches to hang out on to eat your treats. Good views of Ajax too.
