Welcome to Paradise Bakery & Café

At Paradise Bakery & Café in Gretna, NE, we keep things simple: good food, friendly faces, and a space where everyone feels welcome. From early morning to evening, our doors are open with the smell of fresh-baked croissants, muffins, and cookies waiting to greet you. Stop by before work for a quick bite or enjoy a slow morning catching up with friends. And don’t leave without trying our famous Chocolate Chip Cookie — it just might be the best you’ve ever had.

Fresh Baked Every Day

We start our mornings early, baking croissants, muffins, and cookies from scratch. Our chocolate-filled croissant is a favorite — flaky, golden, and rich with just the right amount of indulgence. You can grab a classic blueberry muffin to start your day or pick up a few treats to share. Every item is made right here in-house, so it’s always fresh and ready when you are.

What our guests are saying

Love this place I have been inside once and picked up Food twice. I have had broccoli cheese soup, which is excellent and a BLT, which was also very good. Everyone has been very kind there. Love that I can just call in an order and go out and pick it up in 5 to 10 minutes

Paradise Bakery was truly sent from heaven to people who frequent Nebraska Crossing. The tomato soup is phenomenal!!! Do a Cafe Choose Two with tomato soup and a Paradise Club. Or a Chicken Ceasar Wrap. Or anything, it is all tasty!

Stopped here before heading on the road. Was exactly what our bellies needed! My daughter who is picky, inhaled her grilled cheese. My sandwich was delish and my husbands salad was excellent. Plus, they remade it when he realized it had blue cheese on it! They didn’t even bat an eye, quick remake with a smile. Will stop by every time we are in the area!
