Menu for Paradox Pastry in Charlottesville, VA

What a big disappointment. Today my husband, 11 month old daughter and I walked to this shop from the Virginia Discovery Museum,... excited to have cappuccinos and some pastry. We arrived around noon, and there was a closed sign on the door. It looks like theyare shut down. In speaking to others, the word is that Paradox is no longer going to do retail business. They didn't bother toupdate their website. Tonight I called the phone number on their website, curious to see if there's a message about their hours,or if they are no longer doing retail business. After many rings, an automated message with a static noise in the backgroundsaid "please enter your remote access code." It is not the way to run a business. Read more

The staff was very friendly. Coffee was good but the food ??.. I had a spinach cheese quiche which was given to me lukewarm and... asked to have it warmed up, which they did. My granddaughter had a chocolate croissant which was very cold and had very littlechocolate in it. The pumpkin cheesecake crust was very dry and falling apart. The apple turnover tasted more like thickapplesauce. The other food was just ok. (we had a party of 6) My son commented that this place use to be very good but somethinghas definitely changed. (And not for the better) maybe it was just an off day. Read more

Excellent cheesecake and nice indoor or outdoor seating, great study spot

I got hooked on the multigrain triple berry muffin. So good. Loaded with berries and the combination of corn meal and whole... grains was perfect. The staff are cheerful and the owner is welcoming and fun. Read more

This cute piece of a gem was recommended by the owner of Foytnik when we visited Charlottesville this week for an anniversary... getaway. Since it?s just across the street, my hubby and I tried it. The rhubarb and strawberry loaf slice was super moist andwe definitely tasted the rhubarb and strawberries. Then maple cream puff pastry was to die for. It smelled amazing! It wasfilling and not overwhelmingly sweet. Lastly, the chocolate brownie was heaven in a square. It was moist, rich, and luxurious! Iwould definitely check this place again when I go back to Charlottesville!!! Read more
