“ Move over Starbucks. Paradox blew past my expectations. First impression walking in the door was fantastic. Welcoming friendly staff who look like they enjoy working. The interior design of the building is beautiful and comfortable. The food and drinks we had were very delicious. This is a local business that supports other local business by selling locally made products. Paradox is an amazing addition to Junction City. ”
“ Second time visiting this place, my expectations and overall joy of coming to Paradox has increased. First visit, hot caramel macchiato and their avocado toast. It was overall good but didn’t realize there was a fairly cozy yet spacious rest area for family, friends and community members. Second visit, ordered a hot Big Red One as it’s the local special. Wasn’t disappointed and fallen back in love with the use of raspberry in coffee. The chocolate and raspberry blend was incredible! I also ordered their Paradox breakfast sandwich, never thought a semi neutral flavor but incredibly soft yet chewy potato bread would make this sandwich sing. To test out the beautiful sectional, I brought my current crochet project to enjoy the peace from home. Pending work and family obligations, I want to keep coming here weekly. The staff was the main catalyst for returning. While it’s their job to be friendly and knowledgeable of what they’re selling, it was the small moment of kindness. They put a message on my first to-go order a couple of weeks ago and didn’t see it until I got in the car. It’s an incredibly small gesture in the grand scheme of things, but it’s the genuine kindness of people that makes me want to return to an establishment. Sincerely, thank you so very much! I honestly needed that. The bathroom is incredibly spacious, making it incredibly friendly for those who need a wheelchair or need an extra hand from a caretaker. The only negative here is that I didn’t get to visit Paradox until just recently. This is my go-to coffee & bistro place until I have to move again. ”
“ This was the first place me and my wife went to when we got to kansas. The food never disappoints, im a big fan of the "Big Red 1" coffe me and the missus love coming here to enjoy a little moment of peace. The place had an amazimg assortment of furniture and chairs that you are free to sit and relax while you either wait for your food or enjoy it there. Paradox had their own set of merch I bought the wife a coffe cup and to this day I see her using it for her coffe. All in all I highly recommend coming here if your looking for an establishment with good food, an amazing atmosphere and service 10/10 your a go from me Paradox ”
“ During our first visit to this small coffee shop, my husband and I found it very easy to locate as it had a large sign that was easily noticeable while driving down Washington Street. The atmosphere inside the coffee shop was calm and quiet, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed meal. The tables and counters were well-maintained and clean. The menu had a wide range of drinks and food items, including a variety of coffee. We tried the cinnamon rolls, which were delicious and not overly sweet. Additionally, the hot coffee we ordered was also quite good. I highly recommend visiting this coffee shop! ”
“ Overall, it was a great first experience. The atmosphere is relaxing, and I like the bar stools by the window. My chai tea latte was perfect. My only small complaint is with the avocado toast - It was definitely tasty, but they went overboard with the bagel seasoning. They need to highlight the avocado and bacon more and the seasoning/honey less. Will be going back for sure. ”
“ Ocean is an awesome GM. She gave me this free sample of her "Strawberry Ice Cream Cake Latte. It's gonna be wonderful for this establishments anniversary which is coming up soon. Good place to do cheap activities like journalism, artistry, etc. Good to be around soldiers, veterans plus more Good people. ”
“ My boyfriend brought me here it was the first time I’m not a HUGE coffee person but I tried the iced espresso snickers it was so delicious the ladies were kind and patient while I looked at the menu and they even put a cute message on our cups. The atmosphere was so comfy and homey they had a nice sectional and even laptop spaces. Very good vibes ”
“ Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. Always leaving feeling full, satisfied, and relaxed. Love that there's always something new to try and that the people who work there are so skilled at their craft. The decor, lighting, everything is wonderful. The puns in the bathroom crack me up as well ”
