Paradise Point Cafe
Paradise Point Cafe is a quaint little coffee & tea shop in historic downtown Cottonwood. Stop by for a refreshing drink and homemade dessert after strolling around the shops,galleries, and wine tasting rooms of Old Town Cottonwood.
Food
Paradise Point Cafe serves organic coffee, tea, and desserts. There are many gluten-free and vegan choices. The Paleo German Chocolate we tried out was absolutely wonderful: a gluten-free and dairy-free delight! I haven't seen many cafes offers specific paleo treats, so this was a nice surprise.
In addition to espresso drinks, they have tea on hand, unfortunately only bagged. Hopefully they will offer loose leaf tea in the future. Paradise carries several varieties of Tazo tea. If you have never tried it, I highly recommend Zen, a refreshing lemon flavored green tea drink. The iced tea of the day was also delicious, a refreshing black tea/fruit blend, perfect for the hot afternoon.
Service
The owner of Paradise Point Cafe is one of the nicest people I've met in Arizona. Great service, plus friendly small talk as well. Most restaurants today tend to rush you and offer less than quality service wish we somehow seem to accept as normal nowadays. Paradise, on the other hand, keeps that quality old time service standard alive.
Atmosphere
Both indoor and outdoor seating areas are available, although I recommend enjoying your drink and dessert on the lovely outdoor patio. The covered garden like setting is nice even on hot, sunny afternoons. Both spaces are very small, yet cozy and nicely decorated.
Final Remarks
Paradise Point Cafe is a must visit if you happen to find yourself visiting or traveling through Cottonwood. Paradise Point has a really small storefront so you can easily miss it. This local gem offers too great service and treats to pass up! After strolling the antique shops of Cottonwood, be sure to treat yourself to a delicious homemade dessert at Paradise.
