Editorial Review for Paris on the Platte – by Dave Flomberg
In Short
This little place is filled with high-school and college-aged kids until the early hours. The daytime crowd is much smaller, older and more picky about their coffee. Paris has sandwiches, boards and pastries, but the draw is the coffee. There's a marvelous house cup and a wide range of specialties. THe best are the Café Mexicana--a sublime espresso blend of Mexican coffee and chocolate--and the Crowbar--the coffee equivalent of a Long Island Iced Tea.

After reading many of the review on this site about ‘Paris’ I’m going to make an assumption that most of the folks writing said reviews are yuppies wanting to shine and be number one in a café of over 100. Firstly I’ve worked in many kitchens, and while I wouldn’t say all the food here at Paris is top notch, it is pretty good and a few of their specialty foods are excellent. As for the coffee, most people are used to either Folgers or Starbucks; I’ve managed a coffee shop and have enjoyed coffees from all regions of the world. I will say REAL coffee is an acquired taste, Paris’ coffee while not the best I’ve had is far better then either the fore mentioned Folgers and Starbucks. The service in the day is pretty prompt and the staff are always polite. In the evening when the place never has less then 75 people, I does get cramped sometimes and the speed service does decline, its to be expected. As far as staff being rude, I have come to know a few and I will say they are as polite as the respect they are getting. Give a little get a little.
Pros: Great Place, Highly Recommend
Cons: Prior Reviews Were Poorly Done

I use to go here with friends all the time back in high school, now I know why it was a high school hang out. This place is pretty chill and great to go sit and chat over cups of chai tea and clove cigarettes for hours, but not good for anything else. If you're looking for food, go try My Brother's Bar located just down the street at the intersection of 15th and Platte. That place has really good burgers that are served fast. This place is really just for conversation, don't expect much more out of it and you won't be disappointed.
Pros: Good Coffee, Chai Tea, Smokes, and Chill Space
Cons: "OK" service at "OK" prices.. but just barely "OK"
