Etcetera Coffeehouse - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Paducah, Kentucky

I stopped in for a coffee, but what I got was an unsolicited and unprofessional dose of judgment from the staff, starting with who I assume was the manager. As I walked in, the manager glanced at me and said to a female employee, "There you go, your Halloween costume," gesturing to my Grateful Dead t-shirt. The employee laughed and half-heartedly told him to stop, which was the only decent interaction in the place. The rest of the staff wore this uniform look of smugness, the kind you get from a group of wannabe punks and hipsters who think their subculture is the only valid one. What this manager and his crew clearly don't understand is the history of the very "underground" scene they're trying so hard to be part of. That smug comment revealed a profound ignorance. To the manager: You know they were rebels, too, right? The Dead did it the DIY way long before the word alternative fell out your mouth, booking their own shows, creating their own sound systems, and running their own record label without a shred of corporate help. They helped create the very independent, anti-authority foundation that the punk scene, and by extension your entire aesthetic, was built upon. They weren't a Halloween costume; they were the original punks in spirit, building the underground scene you now occupy. I don't expect every barista to be a Deadhead. I do expect basic professionalism and for staff, especially management, not to mock customers based on their clothing. The coffee was fine, but the condescending atmosphere left a bitter taste. read more

We stop here whenever we are in Paducah. It has any kind of coffee drink that you could want (reco: Cubano Latte), plus bubble tea, baked goods and more. The vibe is great, too! read more

Ambiance, service and lots and lots of choices for coffee, non coffee drinks. Reasonable prices. read more

I come here a lot. The staff are always friendly, and the coffee is great as well as their other drinks. Their muffins are . My favorite coffee shop in Paducah. read more

The local coffee shop (which has a second location only a few blocks away but more in the main downtown stretch) offers quite a variety of drinks, including bubble teas as well. I was pretty conventional in my order of a chai latte, which had a mild flavor, bit of cinnamon and other spices but nothing really popped. Many of their other options looked intriguing. They had a few pastries on display, and also appeared to be doing some kind of CSA or something as someone traded in some empty egg cartons for some eggs while I was there. The place is open until 5:30 and looked to be fairly busy right up until the end of their hours. They have a substantial indoor space, as well as a rear patio, cat included. read more

I would never recommend going here, this place is disgusting, everythings so greasy and dirty, flies were everywhere, the manager or supervisor "Josh" should not be in management very rude and disrespectfu. Dont waist your mone on they're half assed coffee read more

This was my first time here. It's a really cute coffee shop in a pretty cool area in Paducah. I saw lots of ppl riding their bikes over. The line was out the door so I had high expectations and they didn't disappoint. It's looks small when you walk in but immediate to you left there's sitting, there's also sitting in front of the store and the back ( which I learners later ). I had some work to do so I chose to sit inside until it got too cold and moved to a table outside in the front. The staff was nice. My sister in law was telling me about their zucchini muffin but they didn't have it that day, i settled for another pastry and a vanilla latte. Next time I'm in town I definitely want to check this place out again. read more

Excellent place to get your day started! I had a long day yesterday and then had to drive 4 hours to get to Paducah. I was ambitious to think I could drive down to Tennessee today to visit my friends. I decided to come here for coffee based on reviews and an article I found on places to see here. I'm so glad I came. This place is nestled snuggly on 6th Street in a beautiful brick building amongst other homes. It's easy to drive right past it. That's okay. Park nearby and walk. Exceptionally friendly people here. They have non dairy milk too and oat milk as an option if you want that also. This coffee shop boasts their local businesses as well including The Farmer's Market that will be open April 16th, 2022. read more

This is a cool little coffee shop in downtown Paducah. It's small, but it's got good vibes. There's outside and inside seating. And I think it's a cool place to chill, work, or hang out. The vanilla latte wasn't my favorite, but they were able to get it made quickly. read more

Etcetera Coffeehouse, like its name, is a rather unique and hip cafe. I was spending the day sightseeing in Paducah and decided to get my daily caffeine fix here. Spanish latte was good and reasonably priced. Baristas were friendly and helpful. One gave me a few suggestions amongst the local food scene, which I very much appreciated. I love the art pieces hanging on the walls and painted on the coffee tables. Everything about this cafe is picturesque. It is quite spacious inside with two separate rooms. Outdoor seatings are also available in the front as well as the back patio. I was hoping to get some reading done on a crisp Sunday morning, but it was already bustling with families and young kids horsing around. I'd suggest you come to enjoy the drinks and hang out. It's probably not the best venue for studying or anything that requires a high level of concentration and productivity. Before you leave, make sure to stop by the Labyrinth and garden outside to appreciate more artworks and feel the zen before returning to your busy life. read more

Best little coffee shop in Paducah Lower Town Arts District. Just a great place to get a cappuccino, tea or just good ole Java.

Coffee was great. Had a recommendation from an employee and I went with a special that was a salted caramel mocha. Received a punchcard! Im not a local but if I was I would come here often for the coffee. Cute little shop. read more

Etcetera is a very cool local coffeeshop with a large menu (lots of flavored latte options) and food. My cappuccino was great, and my husband's flavored latte was exactly what he wanted (sweet sweet sweet). The quiche the person in front of us ordered looked really good as well. But what makes Etc. stand out? Local coffee shop. Great service. Great indoor seating. Wonderful outdoor seating, including two small tables under some trees in their garden area. This was my first time visiting Paducah (we live in Nashville), and I was 100% charmed by Etc. read more

First of all, LOVE. I just moved here temporarily for work and miss my local coffee shop back home so I tried to find something organic and local here. Through a coworker I heard about Etcetera and wanted to give it a try. I ordered my usual coffee order and loved the oatmilk they used. They made it perfectly and it feels good to not have to pay $7 every morning for a latte. This place is phenomenal and baristas are friendly. Safe to say that I will become a regular. :) read more

Etcetera Coffeehouse - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Paducah, Kentucky

I've been coming to this coffee shop nestled in Paducah's Lower Town Arts District for about 5 years now. I always have a great experience here. I love bringing out of town friends in and watching their face light up when they take their first drink. It's definitely my favorite coffee shop in the area. The price is amazing without sacrificing flavor or quality. Some of my favorite drinks to grab are: the blended chai tea latte, an iced Thai tea, a coconut + almond bubble tea with strawberry jellies, a vanilla latte with almond milk, and the Irish cream latte. So delicious, you can't go wrong! read more

Love Etc!!! This place is right in the heart of picturesque Lower Town and has all sorts of awesome beverage items! The staff is always helpful and friendly and the back patio is a perfect spot to post up at for a little remote work or coffee chat with someone. A legit staple of Paducah this place is. read more

Cute as hell coffee shop. I wanted to order one of everything. The iced coffee I had was AmAZING. 11/10

Coffee is superb. Plenty of parking and seating. There's a little kids corner to keep the little ones entertained. Also, I got my kid a strawberry milkshake. I tried a spoonful just to see how it tasted. I don't like strawberry anything (except raw strawberries) and this drink was amazing! Keep up the great work! read more

Stopped in for a mocha and latte just before closing. Very tasty; nice chat with the barista. Would stop again next time we're in the area.

Very cute coffee shop connected with the Kirchhoff Bakery/Deli. The barista taking our order chuckled with us as we complimented their no cell phone in line policy. That must be incredibly frustrating when you have a whole queue of people waiting to get their caffeine fix and someone is checking their Twitter feed. *Sigh* The place is intricately decorated and definitely has a younger person vibe, which I would say is mostly those who find themselves between 20 and 40 years old. We are simple coffee drinkers, so black coffee it was! Decently priced, but served from a pump-carafe. This bumps down my rating down a star because this causes the coffee to sit for longer periods of time. I just don't want old coffee. I understand that their specialized coffee and tea beverages get made behind the counter, but I hate how the purist coffee drinkers get the shaft. read more

We come from the far north, Alaska, where you can find a coffee shop on almost every corner. This place was jewel for satisfying our coffee habit, especially since we haven't had good coffee in over 1 1/2 months, good prices too. They have a sitting area inside, and two patios. When there's snow back home, the front patio is so refreshing and really quiet and warm. We will stop here next time we are in Paducah. read more

Amazing atmosphere, very personable baristas, and an extensive menu!!! Tons of local art is on exhibit throughout the coffeehouse. Available at two very convenient locations with the same friendly staff shifted throughout both of them! 10/10, 5 stars!!!!!! read more

I really enjoyed my first stop here. As soon as I walked in I felt it was a very cozy and at home. The staff we're very nice and helpful. It seems like a great place to sit and have coffee with your friends. It's a very comfortable environment. read more

The drinks are always nice. And the food good. I don't get to go often but every time we drive through Paducah we go. The service is always a bit iffy, sometimes it feels like they think they are better than everyone. Which for a long time kept me from going back. But you just have to get over it if you want a decent cup of coffee. Etc 2 has better customer service, so that's usually where I go. read more

Etcetera Coffeehouse - Great menu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Paducah, Kentucky

I moved back to Paducah, KY after 20 years and was pleasantly surprised to find this little gem of a coffee shop. Paducah has an active "arts district" (through some serious efforts of the city and local government) and I was pleased to see that it is still flourishing. Having lived in Atlanta for 20 years previously, I was accustomed to some measure of diversity and when I left Paducah in 1990, it was not what I would call a diverse town. Et Cetera is exactly the kind of place I like - lots of diversity in the customers, staff, and menu! It was refreshing to see tattooed, pierced folks sharing coffee and conversation with more conservative business looking types. The menu uses local goods when they can, and is committed to fair trade practices. The staff is well-trained, and very interesting. And the best thing is that it is locally owned! There is free wi-fi, and plenty of space if you want to socialize, or work quietly alone. The local arts community and local students contribute art to the walls, and work by a local sculptor has recently been erected out front. I generally get a cup of house coffee and one of the huge bagels (provided fresh by Kirchoff's, a local bakery and deli). I have become acquainted with a few of the regulars, and I expect to spend many, many hours, days, and weeks in this establishment. They also have another location downtown, near the Market House, but I prefer the 6th Street location. read more

Driving from St Louis to Nashville. I started feeling like I needed a little something, so we picked a city off one of the green signs, Googled "best coffee in Paducah", and got Etcetera. One review, maybe here, said "This is the best coffee shop in the world". Man, did we laugh. Someone must not get out of Paducah very much. Sure, it might be better than Starbucks, but how good could it be? We owe that mystery reviewer a most profound apology. This just might be the best coffee shop in the world. It would more than hold its own in South Florida or the San Francisco Bay area. I can't say it would be the best in those places because I haven't been to every coffee shop in those places, but I just can't imagine how anyone could do a better job. Delicious coffee, first of all. Actual coffee, not coffee flavored drinks, and a larger selection than anyplace I have every been. Excellent service - yes you have to wait, but no longer than necessary. Delicious coffee. I didn't use the bathroom but I'm told the ladies was immaculate. Delicious coffee. Ridiculously low prices. Delicious coffee. Sculpture garden outside. Delicious coffee. Supports the local art community in what looks like a very direct and personal way. Did I mention the delicious coffee? I got the Spanish Latte. What's that, you ask? I did, too, which is how I knew I was someplace different. It's a latte made with sweetened condensed milk. And it was delicious. Incredible mouth feel. They also know how to make cafe con leche (which they call Cubano Latte), which just floored me - I haven't seen it done right anywhere outside Miami. Next time someone says they found something really good in an unexpected place, I won't be nearly so quick to judge. read more

Good coffee great people there. Go there 2 or 3 times a week. Near downtown . Two locationS both great places. Highly recommended
