Paramount Coffee Shop & Books

Didn’t really like this place but coffee is okay. In my personal preference the place for me looks very old and I wasn’t feeling the smell. The coffee shop is big and I wasn’t feeling the lighting as well it’s too dim for me. And the cups I felt like I bought coffee from Publix. Sorry :(

As everyone said, they got a weird hours. Monday through sat, it is 10 am to 6 pm. Sunday closes. That’s not normal for a coffee café!

Weird place. The coffee is fine, not great but I was just in Seattle. The shop itself is fine but full of religious texts. I felt like they could have been more upfront about that in their title or shop advertising. No sugar alternatives except for Splenda which they were nearly out of. Also, weirdly, their cardboard hand/​heat sleeves advertise for cat food. Nice people though.

Small coffee shop tucked away near Lawrenceville Hwy. It located in a small shopping strip next to a karate studio. There are outdoor and indoor seating.
Free and strong WiFi.
The ambiance is ok. Mostly is the couches in individual tables. Bookshelves covering the walls. Food is limited. Mostly bagels and muffins in the morning in specialty sandwiches like tuna sandwich chicken salad sandwich turkey sandwich during lunch time. Pricing for the bagels and muffins varies from 2 – 3 dollars. Sandwiches up to five dollars.
Coffee here is solid. Offering from cappuccinos. expressos, iced coffee, regular coffee and macchiatos. Pricing various from 2.50 to 4.00. I have had the expresso (double shot of course) and cappuccino.
Service was pretty good. They usually one owner who serve and make the drinks. Hours are wird. They are open 7am to 2pm. Monday through Saturday. Over all great little coffee shop.

Good coffee. Very nice owner. Comfy couches. Good music. Free wifi.
The area around the coffee shop isn’t the best… And there is definitely a Christian theme in some of the décor. But, that being said, if you’re ok with that — it’s a great spot to get some work done! Ample parking and a nice small local business.

My salon (Salonography) is a few doors down from Paramount which is great because I can send my clients for great coffee and sandwich’s while they enjoy their hair services.
If I weren’t they’re neighbor, I would continue to patronize their business because they are truly special people that deliver great customer service and an awesome product. The turkey sandwich is amazing but everyone raves about the Tuna… I haven’t tried it yet because something about ordering tuna or fish products from a coffee shop scares me… but I trust them. lol
If you happen to be in Tucker and want a coffee house experience more unique than a local Starbucks (nothing against Starbucks) try them out, you wont be disappointed… unless their closed.

I love the Iced Coffee ($ 2.45) here; it’s pretty strong and is so delicious! They also recently extended their hours so that they are open Tuesday-​Thursday from 7AM-​6PM, Friday & Saturday 7AM-​9PM, and Sunday 3PM-​9PM.
Paramount is a quiet and chill place to do work. I definitely think this is the best coffee shop in the area to go do work at. They always have seats available and they have plugs throughout the place. The only downside is that they are lacking in larger tables.

I have been going to Paramount for 7 years and their service and warm atmosphere never disappoints. It has the ambiance of an old European coffee house and their coffees are of the highest quality. Every Monday my friends and I gather for Bible study and on other days I meet with clients and friends to hang out. It is the perfect place to study and… THERE IS AMPLE SEATING!!! Try there machiattos and their chocolate drink which is really delicious. They also prepare a tuna sandwich that is heavenly and they offer cage-​free eggs, bagels, and yogurt parfaits for breakfast. I am looking forward to catering with them and enjoying community events in the near future!!!

Definitely a gem in Tucker. I have seen this place many times before passing by while driving, but never really checked it out. They have a ScoutMob going on so that pushed my decision in going.
INTERIOR:
As you enter, the coffee joint is very spacious and has a homey vibe. Lots of places to sit and chill inside. A couples tables in the front of the store as well. To the left is a big bookshelf with books and items on sale such as mugs, tumblers, etc. To the right is where all the magic happens– the bar. There’s also a stand with sugar, creamer, napkins, and hand sanitizer. The blinds were open so that really lit up the place. Floors were clean as well as the tables inside.
SERVICE:
Exceptional customer service. I presume the gentleman/​barista that assisted me is the owner of the place since it’s a locally owned shop, which has been open for 10+ years. I did not know that! He was very helpful and nice. Even asked if I was staying or if it was to-​go– espresso came out in a clay-​based mug and tuna sandwich plated.
FOOD/​COFFEE:
The espressos here are made with Italian Lavazza coffee beans. Definitely a different and rich taste compared to other coffee shops/​franchises. I ordered a Small Caramel Macchiato ($ 3.55) and a Tuna Sandwich ($ 4.65, but with the ScoutMob for $ 2.32). The sandwich was to die for. So good and plentiful for the regular price. The espresso I ordered was different from many others I have tried. It was perfect. Not overly sweetened like at other places.
I highly recommend you check this place out. Not a bad coffee joint at all. Free Wi-​Fi and plenty of places to chill. Hours are kind of weird. Open pretty early around 7 a.m. and closes by 1 p.m. or 2 p.m. Catch ‘em if ya can!

Quiet place! Good for studying although the lighting is a little dim! The owners are super nice and try their best to please you! I got a chai latte, the wife rang me up. I asked her to make it less sweet with very hot steamed milk. Somehow the husband knew all that and made it the exact way I wanted wo me having to tell him again! Yummy! I’d def come back for the service!!!

I found this coffee shop through Scoutmob. The manager/​owner was EXTREMELY nice and welcoming. It was about 9:30am on a Saturday morning, but there was only one other person in the coffee shop. I just tried a regular coffee, and it was great. My only complaint would be the selection of breakfast items. It was very limited. Overall, I might come here again as a nice, quiet alternative to Starbucks or busier coffee shops.

If you’re looking for serenity and an excellent cappuccino in the vicinity of Tucker, look no further! This business is operated by a lovely Ethiopian couple (and yes, for those of you who don’t already know it, Ethiopians KNOW coffee) whose very demeanor suggests peace. The shop is set in a nondescript strip of businesses just off of Lawrenceville Highway and Main Street in Tucker. (Main Street becomes Idlewood as you cross Lawrenceville Higway.) Easy access and easy parking make it a plus. Upon entering you will no doubt be struck by the utter stillness of the place. Comfortable plush chairs and sofas, a couple of nice little nooks for an even quieter study spot and nicely chosen art on the walls make this place a terrific stop for a break during the day. Please note the unusual hours, however. Closed after 2 PM on weekdays, after 1 on Saturday, and altogether closed on Sunday.

Good espresso from quality machines pulled by good people. There certainly are comfy chairs here, too. The shop has a bit of an unfinished feel, but perhaps it’s always changing. I’m sure I’ll be back to re-​visit thanks to CakeArt down the street. I look forward to trying more. Paramount’s quality was a nice surprise.
The heavy Christian aspect is a bit off-​putting for me, but at least it isn’t hard-​core proselytizing.
