    It may be odd to give five stars to what is essentially a modern version of an old-fashion diner, but this place hit everything just right. I ordered a routine breakfast: Two eggs, over medium; hashbrowns; sausage; toast. The server brought jam with the toast without being asked and everything was cooked to perfection. This was, by far, the best breakfast on a two week road trip.

    First time we came here the food and service were good. However today when we came in I can't say the same. First the French toast was dry and hard. It seemed like the bread was old. Second my daughter got very sick before we even left the restaurant. She got sick driving back to the house and again a few more times. She wasn't even able to finish her entire meal. One of the side items smelled soured. I did let one of the staff members know but they didn't seem too concerned. For a breakfast that cost over $40 to get sick off of was definitely not worth it.

    Stumbled upon this place while passing thru town and now I'm sad that I don't get the chance to eat here all the time.  Love the atmosphere, the server was awesome and the food was delicious.  Most delicious cup of coffee and they even gave us a to go cup for our drive home.

    Great diner flare with fantastic breakfast service. It feels inviting and small town at the same time. Good portion sizes, good coffee and the cow creamer to pour from may it unique...and I like those small touches. It was an old jewelry store and they kept the original name "Newton" and signage.

    We did breakfast at Newton's Paradise Café.  We were able to sit outside to enjoy the great weather.  The breakfast selection was very good and we were able to enjoy a bloody Mary with our meal.  Our server was great and the facility was also very nice.  I'd recommend this location!
