Paradise Bakery & Cafe

The ice cream is decent. Pretty cool, that they put a small cookie on top of the ice cream cone,, but the snickerdoodle cookie I bought separately leaves a lot to be desired. It was pretty dry.

They don’t allow you to order a kids size ice cream with 2 flavors. No different sizes in cones… very pricey, short of options and the people there not friendly.
It is the only ice cream place in the town so, they don’t care about the clients.

Really tasty vegan ice cream - we had the oat milk hazelnut and it’s some of the best vegan ice cream I’ve had!

We loved their cookie a la mode made with their cookie n cream gelato! Also, I left my wife's credit card there while on vacation, and they kept it for me until I called to confirm. Best of all, they mailed it back to me in Florida and included a thoughtful thank you card when I was the one that should have been thanking them! Thank you!

The classic Aspen institution. One of the best gelato places in the US, their pistachio is up to par with Italian gelaterias. Their cookies are excellent too, and they are doing everything to avoid crowding inside the store (but do expect a line at peak times in the summer, so mask may be needed).

We had lovely coffee, great muffins and bagels w cream cheese and bacon and a ham cheese and egg croissant. Last one was ok but not as good as the bagel and muffin. Service is great.

Very good indeed.

If I could give zero stars, I would. This place is the most unfriendly place in Aspen. I came to visit Aspen with my family for the weekend and wanted ice cream. First, the cashier told me I could not have any samples until I made a purchase. How was I suppose to choose a flavor if I have never been here before? As my family and I sampled the variety of ice creams we were forced to move down the line. We got very mean look as in ‘what’s their problem?’. The customer behind me in the line asked the employee if she could use another spoon because she was allergic to pistachios. The I couldn’t help to over the obnoxious employee MOCK the elderly lady under her breathe to the other employee. Another employee helping with me the sampling constantly ignored and kept yelling ‘is anyone here actually ready’ as he looked down on my family and I. We were embarrassed and we shouldn’t have been. We did not get to choose the ice cream we wanted because they employees told the customers behind us to move down, forcing us out the door. We did not end up liking the flavors we got.

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.

Amazing pastries and great coffee. The staff was super helpful and really fast (Keith and Martina were their names I think). Found my new favorite place!
