It was a nice little place and the service there was great. I did have a small problem with the coffee I got, but it was quickly fixed and tasted perfect!

Tyler Chartier

Ask nicely to pour your own latte art ???????? chillest barista's and spot on coffee a can't miss for UVA students or people watching

Carrie Bevis

Formerly "Para," but everything is the same. Get the house made almond milk . It's the best I've had.

Michelle C

Charming place to study or meet a friend/first date. Good music . Could be cleaner. They do NOT validate parking , so take the bus if you don't live within walking distance.

Vincent Krause

Your Sunday afternoon will be much nicer if it starts with a cold brew from Para Coffee . If the weather's nice, grab a seat outside .

Felype

Very good coffee and prices. In the heart of The Corner. They have free wifi and more tables and couches up stairs.

Roya Arfa

A little hidden gem off the road from Starbucks. Great coffee , worth passing by Starbucks!

b P

Really tasty espresso , however, they don't offer blended espresso drinks which is a total bummer and the iced lattes come out warm. Overall, great tasting coffee but QC and menu are substandard.

ᴡ Miller

Great place for UVA students . They have free wifi and a great new study area upstairs !

Lise Luavull

The coffee is top notch everyday, but the scones are a special treat... don't let a cranberry one pass you by!

Jim Duncan

Great location for UVA students . Great coffee and vibe. Ride a bike , as Elliewood's busy!

Duylam Nguyen-Ngo

Get a chai tea , add honey or sugar, pour some half & half . Boom ghetto chai tea latte .

Leah Retta

Upstairs is a great study spot . And the wi-fi password is Espresso !

Linn Browning

Great coffee and cookies the size of your face.

Brad P

They serve their mate the traditional way in a gourd here—enjoy it!

Karoline Komolafe

Walk past the bitter, acidic coffee they serve at Starbucks and grab a latte at Para.

Tyler Frankenberg

A new one-woman operation upstairs called the tea bar but her schedule is kind of erratic.

Stuart Templeton

Don't forget there's seating upstairs . :)

S R

Now rockin some Blanchard's fresh roasted coffee . Ask for a French press !

Ben Oster

The espresso here is especially good. Best on the corner and maybe in cville.

S R

Glad they're serving up Blanchard's Coffee !

S R

Try some fresh roasted Blanchards Coffee !

A big open space with nice view of the roastery. Great to drink your coffee knowing (and seeing!) it was roasted right where you are sitting! Have a dry cappuccino -- you won't regret it. - Locallectual
