I love coming here. Very welcoming, great coffees and they do have a gluten free option regarding baked goods (usually just one). They of course have almond milk, oat milk and coconut milk. The chai tea is really good- better than the coffee chain ones. The staff is patient and the aesthetic of the cafe is very modern hipster. It's a great place to get coffee with a friend or to do some work on your laptop (bring headphones if you don't like lots of chatter).

An ideal, and wonderful place to spend a slow morning in Sheboygan.
Stopped in for coffee after cruising the farmers market. Super cute space with cool decor and very friendly staff. Inclusive and welcoming vibes.

We came here to grab coffee to go and ended up also ordering a couple of breakfast sandwiches.
What we liked: The atmosphere; it was nice and open with plenty of seating inside and out. Seems like a great place to come with friends or bring a book and relax solo for a while.
The breakfast sandwiches, overall good. A little more on the greasy side than I prefer, but flavor was on point.
What we didn’t like: First and foremost, what we came for, the coffee. My husband and I both ordered different latte options. We agreed that neither was very good. The maple latte lacked maple… zero hint of maple anywhere in there. The busy beaver latte tasted more bitter than anything and there was perhaps a hint of cardamom there, though not much. Disappointing, because both sounded delicious when reading the menu!
Second, the gentleman taking our order at the front. He was perfectly pleasant at first, but, this being our first time coming to Paradigm and having zero knowledge of the place prior to actually walking through the door, we did not realize it was a purely vegetarian establishment. I asked if there were any meat options included for the breakfast bagel and when I asked this question, the gentleman‘s face and attitude completely turned sour out of nowhere and he responded with a bit of an attitude and an annoyed stare “We don’t have meat.”
Okay…I’m sorry. I didn’t realize. It was very offputting. Taking that kind of attitude with customers, especially new ones, is a great way to ensure that you don’t get repeat business.
Overall, I would give this place another try in the future. I really did like the vibe, but I’d stay clear of the coffee drinks and go for tea instead. Oh… and I certainly wouldn’t want to offend anybody by asking about meat…LOL.

I really was impressed with the look of this place not to mention the vegan options! The open air concept, plants and wood decor is something I absolutely love. The food and drink is ordered from the counter - you will find a menu right by the case that is filled with incredible vegan pastries and desserts. I had a lemon cardamom cookie, a rhubarb and strawberry muffin, The TLT (tempeh BLT) and their breakfast bagel (you choose your bagel flavor). The food was delicious! My friend was impressed by her breakfast burrito and the cinnamon rolls she got. Also, she had some delectable corn chips that seemed homemade. Our drinks were nice, too. We will definitely be returning!
Cons: Almost all the tables were dirty.

Favorite place to get coffee in Sheboygan, nice atmosphere.
Doesn't meet what I want out of a coffee shop. Coffee is pretty sub par. The atmosphere is grungy, but the type where everything is super dirty. Staff are friendly though.
Not my place, but I know others like it. The quality of the coffee though is what gets the 2 stars. Doesn't feel there is much attention to dosing, grind, extraction, and temperature.
