This is a nice little spot on Lincoln ave. Lots of people during the school year. Their mocha is quite lovely. I must admit. Other items like the black cat and some of their pastries are quite good as well. I highly suggest checking this place out.

Terrible customer service. The brown haired girl wearing a cap today was extremely rude to my friend today and that was the last straw. The coffees are mediocre and employees in general aren’t attentive. Bathrooms are sometimes closed for hours. Won’t be coming back.

Towed my car for being slightly out of its space despite it not blocking anything and there being many open spaces. Rude customer service.

horrible customer service. you always have to wait at the register to order. staff has really been lacking recently. specifically, today the girl working in the afternoon was extremely rude and obviously in a bad mood. food/drinks are also overpriced. i used to come here very often but i will never come back.

Didn’t mix my matcha at all :( took a sip of straight powder and unflavored oat milk. Pasta salad was decent though.

I could understand if the caffe was packed but I was the one person in line. The person who had already ordered in front of me stood there as that barista flirted with them for 15 minutes not taking my order when all I wanted was a drip coffee. Once the customer finally moved away the person stood there glaring at me asking me in a rude tone what do you want. I said a large drip coffee and rolled her eyes. Right then another person had to tell them they messed up their order. Then the barista gave me a small cup (after charging me for a large) and made the prompts skip past so I could even chose to get a receipt. Horrible customer service. Especially from the girl with the pink hair.

Great coffee spot ! Place has vintage vibe with furniture and decor. Great ambience and filled with students busy with their laptops, books and good coffee!! Enjoyed an iced coffee and Black Cat Milkshake!! Both really good.

The cold brew is really bad. Also customer server is mediocre at best: it takes a long time for the staff to take your order- you are standing/waiting at the register for a while.

Caffe Paradiso is a classic independent coffee house that looks and feels like a neighborhood institution. I came for the atmosphere but my caffe macchiato was smooth and foamy — they know their coffee. They have a selection of pastries, breakfast sandwiches and regular sandwiches. Come prepared to slow down and enjoy the atmosphere.

Super cool and hip place to study and relax. The drinks are good and the service is quick. When I went, it was super crowded, and it was difficult to find a seat. Also, staff seemed a little overwhelmed because of the rush; however, I think they're treated well. That's just about the only con about this place.

What a delightful coffee shop. Very chill. Everything that I've had to eat and drink from here has been delicious. Solid wifi. Lots of outdoor and indoor seating (with ample power outlets indoors). I look forward to going back another time! The espresso milkshake is delicious. Lots of great coffee flavor. I appreciate that they serve intelligentsia coffee.

Great coffee. Always a bit too busy for my preference. Peeling paint gives a bit of a unkempt appearance IMO. Very popular.

Really good food albeit a little expensive. There’s fruits pastries and good coffee. No pictures but the overall theme of the place is really unique (they have so many different chairs) and screams quirky coffee place. Went at roughly noon on a weekday and it was absolutely packed. Good place to study and snack on some food. Relatively close to the quad too. The only drawback is that the parking there is limited to 30mins per person so every once in a while they yell out the description of a car so the owner can move it before they tow it. Other than that, excellent place
