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

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.

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.

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.

Love this place since I found it randomly one day with the employees always being welcoming and kind! First time I came to paradox I ordered like four drinks wanting to try everything and the drinks were great and I loved each one however the real drink gem came from Ollie! I didn’t know exactly what I wanted and they made me two wonderful drinks with boba in it and both were amazing. 100% will be coming here weekly now! Only thing that would make this place better would be having gluten free food options on the menu (again Ollie was so nice and offered to make anything on the menu for me without the gluten!!) (edit to add the employees name so you know whose amazing)

This is a cafe style coffee shop. I only got their coffee and refresher but the food looks so yummy! This is a perfect place for a professional meet up, interview, family or friend luncheon and even a quaint little date spot. Its a very clean well designed and decorated environment that is aesthetically pleasing. Customer service was great, hard working young ladies that were very pleasant to speak with. I went during a busy time so there was a little bit of a wait on my drinks but that's okay 😊.

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!

Beautiful place. Ocean is amazing as always!!!!! The espresso is so good. Coming from someone who shots 6-12 shots at a time it is amazingly fragrant and isn’t bitter at all!!!! I love this hidden gem!!!!!!
