Relatively new coffee shop with unusual garage door next to the main door and simple modern look with sparse but adequate seating for the few patrons wanting to sit to enjoy the excellent coffee made freshly from the best beans with smooth and fragrant finish. Latte with whole milk comes with elegant leaf pattern and chai latte is hot and flavorful. The ambience is nice and neat with fast service. Excellent addition to the local coffee scene with good variety of pastries. Don't expect breakfast ham and cheese croissant. I recommend this place for quick service, clean environment and tasteful coffee. They do the basics well.

Americano with cream. No sweetener needed.

We stopped in as we were driving by this afternoon for a little coffee before visiting the Redwoods. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the coffee was excellent!

Worth the stop. The service and coffee was legit! Also the vibe makes u want to stay awhile. The only legit 3rd wave coffee experience around.

Got their new maple sea salt latte. Genuinely one of the top five best lattes I've probably had in my life. Staff is super friendly and welcoming. Great chill vibe. Love!! Def a new must visit spot every time I'm in Crescent City

such a fun spot to visit, very friendly owner, delicious creamy coffee that compliments the various milk choices well. great surfer vibes and a fun place to sit and work or to chat. one of my favorite spots in Crescent City! I recommend getting the maple sea salt latte (I get mine with oat milk), it's so delicious!

The owners are friendly and know coffee. Cool that they serve Cat & Cloud Coffee (out of Santa Cruz, CA). Chill ambience.

Ordered a cortado and an iced coffee.

A great, small coffee shop with fun drink options, friendly staff, and a chill surfer vibe! Exactly what we needed to start off our day.

Real good coffee. The peach ice tea was not very good. Loved the coffee. Service was good and the place had a cozy vibe.

Amazing coffee! They have Gibraltars! Great service, prime atmosphere - just the place that a well known surf town should have.

My fiance and I stopped at Paragon for coffee and somehow ended up getting breakfast too because…read moreeverything about this place made us want to stay a little longer. Paragon manages to be cozy and welcoming while still feeling incredibly cool. By the looks of it, everyone from newborns to retirees hangs out here, and somehow they're all stylish. It's such an eclectic mix of people and has that neighborhood coffeehouse energy where you immediately understand why people become regulars. I ordered one of their signature drinks, the Van Pan latte, while John stuck with his classic vanilla latte. Both were delicious, the staff was incredibly friendly, and they even treated our pup Blu to a pup cup. Then came the ham and cheese croissant. We ordered ONE to share on the road. Took our first bites, looked at each other and immediately realized sharing was no longer an option. We went back and ordered a second one. Yes, it is that crispy. What was supposed to be a quick coffee stop turned into coffee, breakfast and one of those places we were genuinely sad to leave. Great drinks, great food, genuinely warm service and an atmosphere that makes you want to hang around. Easy 5/5. If we lived nearby, I already know we'd be regulars.

So cute, and very welcoming. Coffee was fantastic, pastries…read moreare so good and some had fun unique flavors. Even though the vibe of the place invites you to sit and stay awhile, the service is very fast and friendly. There's also cool merch including cozy sweatshirts, journals/activities to purchase to enjoy with your coffee, or to take with you, and cute little "take one leave one" book shelf. Love this place! Things we tried: Maple Lavender Latte W/Orange Zest - I requested no lavender because allergy, it was perfect. Spinach feta pastry, orange cardamom scone, yuzu marmalade filled beignet, one of their oatmeals with steamed oat milk
