Paradox Coffee & Bistro

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.

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.

The Moment you walk in this place it feels comfortable and inviting. It's a nice change from your standard coffee shop. The breakfast sandwich is delicious and the coffee was the perfect temperature with the right amount of flavor. Impressed that small town Junction City, KS could have such a place for us to come and enjoy a coffee. I will be back. Thank you

Every time I come through, I find myself loving yalls food and drinks and atmosphere more and more. Listen…avocado toast with bacon and honey hot sauce!? Amazing. So thankful Junction finally has a great coffee spot and close by my office.

My husband and I were excited to try this place. I’ve seen nothing but good reviews however we were/are very disappointed with our experience. We went for lunch today and both got the same panini. Both paninis were extremely flat, with barely any toppings. If the sandwiches were less than 10 bucks I would’ve understood, but I can’t even consider this a meal. It had barely any Brie or fig - you couldn’t taste it. All I tasted was bread and bacon. The bread was fantastic despite it being torn and the bacon was too. If they weren’t so stingy with toppings it probably would’ve been an amazing sandwich. In addition, the small containers we thought were our sides, turned out to be some red sweet and sour sauce. We were not given our pasta salad. Since we live on post, it wasn’t worth the 25 min drive with two kids back just to get two sides. The coffee was decent but I was disappointed they didn’t have any iced teas other than sweet tea. At a coffee shop I usually get iced green tea or peppermint - any bag tea.. at the very least fruit teas. Unless someone reaches out to us to reimburse or replace the 35 bucks we spent for two poor paninis and a small coffee, we will not be returning or recommending.

Paradox Coffee & Bistro is a hidden gem in Junction City, KS. The moment my wife and step inside, we where welcomed by the cozy and inviting atmosphere. The staff is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The coffee is delicious, and they offer a variety of options for every taste preference. The food is outstanding; everything is freshly prepared, and the flavors are exceptional. The Paradox Breakfast Sandwich is definitely a must-try!

Finally a local coffee shop in Junction City! Coffee was great, flavorful but not overly sweet. Small cute little place. Will be back!

Ambience and atmosphere of this lil shop welcomes you when you walk in. Local items for purchase from around town and coffee and food was delightful. Would like to see cold brew on the menu sometime in the future! Must stop location!

Thank goodness JC has this hidden gem for coffee! Cute shop thats doing great for having only been open a few months. They have beans roasted in Kansas along with other local goodies. Their coffees are consistently yummy and their baristas are always kind. I love the coffeehouse vibes, great place to study or read a book. The food is also delicious. My favorite is the avacado toast!

10/10! Junction City really needed a business as such. The staff, lobby, food & coffee felt refreshing, they’ll definitely have my wife and I back here again. Support the locals!
