a new downtown gathering place!


a new fantastic yogurt & pastry shop opened three blocks from us this weekend!

paramount is calling itself "an urban gathering place", which is a perfect description.  the ultra hip decor is backed with a floor-to-ceiling photograph of the shop in 1933.  back in the day, the paramount cigar & candy company was a happening spot on this main street corner downtown. {you can read all about the history HERE.}


today, paramount is serving a wall full of frozen yogurt flavors + fabulous toppings, two flavors of belgain waffles + more toppings, fun cupcakes & more.

this morning while blakey was taking his post-call nap, i headed to paramount to watch a little church online & try the belgain waffles!  for my first taste, i went the simple route - butter + maple syrup + powdered sugar.  delicious!  even the gigantic cup of ethiopian coffee was tasty.


after blakey woke up & started his sunday, we decided to stop by for frozen yogurt!  yes!!!  loved it.  blakey had the triple chocolate fro yo + butterfingers.  so good.  for me it was the blueberry tart + blueberries & heath bar & chocolate chips & graham cracker crumbs!


 {tanky, of course, joined us on our outting}



welcome to the neighborhood, paramount!  we are so happy to have you :)

love love,
kjp.
