They actually have some vegan options! I tried the vegan apple cider doughnut, and it was actually really good, coming close to the quality of Carters Mountain. A little expensive is the only thing, the item not being too much food for an alright price. Also, btw, this might have only been me, but this is not a coffee place, they have some limited options (an expresso machine, some shendoha does drip coffee) but that's all.
Recently ordered a cheesecake for my husband’s birthday, it was Amazing! So creamy and delicious. All the party guests loved it !
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.
Jenny was extremely helpful in designing our geode wedding cake! About a month before our wedding, we had to change cake plans, and Paradox Pastry was a life saver! They were responsive, and were able to bring to life our geode cake vision in time for our August 2021 wedding. Also the cake flavor of Dark Chocolate Cake with Irish Cream Mousseline/Buttercream and Dark Chocolate Ganache was so scrumptious!
The ladles of Paradox Pastry were definitely on their A game with customer service today! Outstanding!
We stopped in here to have coffee with a friend and thoroughly enjoyed it. I really liked the hand pies. There’s plenty of outdoor seating, which is a plus in this day and age.
As longtime lovers of EVERYTHING at Paradox, picking our cake baker was one of the easiest decisions we made for our wedding. We had four large cakes in lieu of a special decorated wedding cake, wanting to have a variety of flavor options for our guests as well as gluten-free options. Paradox's process for ordering cakes is so easy and readily customizable, and there are so many delicious flavor options to choose from. And the gluten-free cakes are the same price as the regular cakes for the same size - amazing!! We served a vanilla cake with maple cream cheese frosting that was a huge hit with our guests, a chocolate-chocolate ganache cake, a gluten free chocolate with espresso buttercream, and a gluten free vanilla with lemon buttercream and raspberry jam filling. Everything was delicious and our guests loved the variety. Love Paradox!

The cheesecake. The Cheesecake!!!! It's worth parking in the parking garage (you get the 1st hour free anyway) and walking the short distance. Everything else I've ever tried was also very very good. The sugaristas are top notch here. Gluten free options are also yummy.
Decent pastry shop in Charlottesville with friendly staff.
