PARADISE CAFE, Downers Grove

With walls covered in tropical murals depicting waterfalls and colorful wildlife and sidewalk tables that resemble thatched-roof tiki huts, Paradise Cafe brings a little island flavor to Downers Grove. The food, though, isn't as exotic. Instead, Paradise serves up tried-and-true diner favorites, including fruit-covered pieces of french toast, eggs benedicts, and hamburgers. Meals are complemented by cups of 100% Colombian coffee.
