Paradis

Paradis is the best place to have ice cream, sorbet, and (the gem of summer treats you usually can’t get in California) gelato!!! I have only had it once when had we visited my grandmother who lives in Seattle.

Paradis is a Danish restaurant and opened up in Denmark in 2000. In 2009 (they are new) they came to Cali hoping sales would be a bit better. Boy, were they right in coming here!!!

They said they were going to try to open some more restaurants in good time. Even though they say they’ll open more I’ll be at least 15 by then. I’ll be out of the ice cream stage. Well not fully, but I still won’t like it as much.

But what is great about Paradis is that you can get ice cream to go!!! They have a small package, which can hold 3 scoops of ice cream and is ideal for 2 to 3 people. They have a medium package, which holds 3 scoops but way bigger scoops and is ideal for 4 to 5 people. Then there is the Family package, which holds 4 scoops and is ideal for 6 to 10 people. And last but not least comes the Lovebox where you can get 6 JUMBO size scoops of ice cream. All boxes are insulated. Sounds great to me!!!

Paradis is a paradise because they make their ice cream fresh every morning!!! They use natural ingredients for the ice cream. The sorbets are all vegan and fat free. This might be the most healthy ice cream restaurant in the world.

Paradis changes their flavors every day!! Not once will you get the same flavors two days in a row. Having said that, that means you can’t get your favorite flavors a lot. When I went to the Montrose Paradis with my mom I had the Salted Caramel AND the Strawberry Sorbet. Both were to die for. I tried the S’mores, which is delicious, but mom wouldn’t let me get three scoops. She got the S’mores. So that means I probably won’t be able to get the S’mores until next month.

Montrose is beautiful at night, especially in December. When I went with my mom we walked through the town which was lined in lighted trees. After 6 PM, which is when we went, the parking meter is free!!! Montrose is the best place to shop. They have grocery stores, clothing stores, restaurants, farmers markets, and much more I can’t remember.

Paradis has a website and I wanted to give you the link: http://www.paradis-icecream.com/. Paradis even has games on the outdoor seating area. Mom and I played Jenga. Paradis is the best place to go to have ice cream.
