Paradox Cafe cooks all of your food fresh when you order it. This may take a bit longer, especially when all of you get hungry at the same time. We understand that time is precious so "chill-lax" and know that we are preparing for you the best quality food as fast as our set-up allows.

Our goal is to provide quality food and service while also being kind to our environment. Paradox uses, when affordable and available, organic produce, organic grains & flours, organic tofu and tempeh, free range eggs and hormone free meats. We like to support our community and environment by purchasing our ingredients with businesses and co-ops that focus on sustainability. We recycle all that we are able.
