Paramour Coffee

After being a regular customer for a long time I stopped going here due to their mask focused social media posts. I was also put off by the giant "masks required" sign at their Wamego location.
After nearly a year I decided to give them another chance and I was disappointed. There are mask signs every 8-10 feet and the drip coffees are no longer self serve and taste testing or even choosing a preferred roast is no longer an option.
When I'm trying to grab a coffee I don't want to be harassed with politics or nonsensical policies that only serve the purpose of annoying the customer; I'm finding it hard to believe the owner believes he is helping anyone by making people put on a face covering to order, only to take it off to sit down and drink and have the food delivered when masks are off.
I will be drinking lower quality coffee somewhere else.

This is THE BEST coffee in Manhattan!
The guy behind the counter is very friendly and he will make you a proper panini.
Is it expensive? Absolutely. Quality never goes on sale.

Stopped in for their 1st anniversary. Cool little joint outside of town with great devour and a large selection of their own roasted beans. Enjoyed an iced coffee today which was super affordable, military discount even provided, and got to try a few of their many different coffees on tap. Worth another stop for sure in the near future.

The coffee is good. The drive-thru can be painfully slow. I was just in a line where they managed to serve 2 cars in 15 minutes. I'd go here more often because I like the coffee, but the drive-thru issue makes me think twice.

I am happy to find here. Had a double shot, superb coffee. I also buy coffee bean here.

The coffee is so delicious. They are very helpful and will make suggestions if you aren't sure what you'd like. The biscuit and gravy souffle is delicious and the perfect size. Also breakfast sandwiches with your choice of meat and cheese. Plus the muffins and scones you just can't go wrong.

I went in for the grand opening yesterday. I live nearby and was excited that I could walk with my children to the coffee shop. I had some of the free iced coffee, and it was the only iced coffee I've ever liked. The flavor was delicious!

However, while I was there with my children, ages 2, 3, 5, and 7, the large TV was showing a program that, when I glanced at it, was showing a very graphic video of a woman getting her throat slowly cut! A while later, characters entered a closet to find a very bloodied body. At this point, I was directing my children to the door. I realize I'm shocked more than most people by images like these, but when I look for a coffee shop as a casual, comfortable place to visit with friends, study, or write while enjoying a drink, I expect it to be a peaceful setting. I can see how the TV may appeal to some, perhaps even many customers, but in my opinion, if it is on (My personal preference would be that it wasn't even there.), it should be showing programming that is not horrifying and graphic. I believe the TV showed it may have been tuned to the Travel Channel, and we were there sometime between 2 and 3 p.m. Friday.

Due to the location, I hope to go again and have a better experience.

Forgot half the order, did not provide receipt, tried to add something. Our drinks did not match the pictures was told we have to ask but wish they would ask if you would like to add whip topping. Heard great things but we didn't have a good experience! Maybe there will be a next time!

Some of the best coffee and breakfast food I’ve had to date. Manager and staff really love what they do and will go above and beyond to make sure your experience is great. 10/10 recommend.

Great service and good coffee. Staff there are really friendly and the coffee is good too! There is some seating available inside with more outside. They also sell whole bean or ground coffee there by the pound and have many different varieties to try, and have free samples of what they are selling for the day!

Amazing coffee shop! Love the breakfest sandwiches. Braxton and Evie are amazing and so nice!
