In the heart of a crowded city this place brings on a very special taste of food.

The place appears to be small, yet they have alot of seatings on the inside and outside.

We sat inside. It is very authentically and beautifully decorated.

The service was super fast and convenience.
They have variety of food/desert/drink selections. Check the menu before you enter.

The staff is very professional and courteous. I just want to highlight one of their workers which is KATELYN. she went above and beyond to make sure that we are happy and satisfied with our food/seatings/and service. She is so sweet and enthusiastic. I appreciate her level of professionalism.

This a great place will definitely be marked as one of my favorite spot to REVISIT.

Thank you PAUSE cafe. Thank you KATELYN

Randomly visited and impressed! Nice chill place for a breakfast. Simply got black coffee and cinnamon croissant, both really great!

This place is so nice with great atmosphere. One of the best places regarding the atmosphere. Food is okay. Crepes were good as well as açaí bowl. The sausages were good. I would recommend this place because of its uniquely atmosphere.

Beautiful cafe with delicious food! Highly recommended. We had the supernova, caprese crepe and the egg, avocado, Turkey and cheese sandwich. We loved all of it!

Who would’ve known this place would be so packed on a Thur morning? Almost every seat was taken by the time I rolled in, but was able to squeeze into the big center table by the time I got my drink. I used to live in the Middle East, so this place really felt nostalgic. Love the attention they put into the interior details. The fruit in the acai fruit bowl was pretty sour and unripe, but hey, the other food looks great 😆

I have been waiting to try this spot of since 2018. Today I finally got to try out their food. The restaurant is beautiful so I did expect good service. I asked for an extra side of pesto with my tofu sandwich(that has pesto on it) only to get a dry sandwich and barely an side of pesto. I was very disappointed with that dry sandwich. The salad made it worthwhile thankfully. They can definitely do better than this.

Beautiful and cozy cafe in the lower east side of New York City. The decorations were nice plus they have a decent sized and clean bathroom for the city. They have indoor and outdoor seating.

The staff were great. The wait time was appropriate. We got the Superfood Blue Iced Chai Latte with Oatmilk. It was amazing! Plus, the green bowl was good but portion could
be bigger. Overall, the experience was great and we will definitely visit again.

Cozy little space with great vibe. The service was very friendly. The bread on my sandwich was a little dry and my friends salad was good. I’d have to try more items on the menu but right now I’d say the food was good, not great.
