Pause Cafe Lower East Side

Pause Cafe was great! I just stopped in for a cup of black coffee, but they did a great job and it was a really cool environment. It seems like the perfect spot to meet a friend, work on a group project, or just get out of the house and enjoy your surroundings. Would highly recommend!

This place is my favorite coffee shop in the city. The coffee is absolutely delicious. I always have a black Americano without milk. And my boyfriend always orders a cappuccino with almond milk, the presentation is always impeccable and always very pleasing to the eye. The food is delicious and very provocative, everything always looks fresh and well presented. It is a unique place in the city. The dishes, glasses mugs and cups are delicately selected in beautiful Moroccan style. I love that it gives a very special, unique and authentic atmosphere and feeling. And they even sell some Moroccan beautiful handicrafts such as glasses, plates, cups, oils, and chai teas. Super cozy and always warm cause the smell of freshly ground and brewed coffee, simply delicious. It's a super nice place to sit, read, write, and have a good conversation with friends. It has a great morroccan atmosphere, I love the music. Computers and laptops not allowed.

All I can say is I came here to get brunch with a friend and I came right back again the next day because it was so good… Food here is fantastic, got the shakshuka first day with an iced latte and then got the pause cafe breakfast plate the next day with a dirty chai. Prices are reasonable, food is so tasty and flavorful. The service is great, all staff were so friendly :) Atmosphere is 10/10, it’s calming and relaxing and the decor makes you feel like you’re truly transported to a different country 💛. Pro tip: it’s not a huge place and it is wildly popular on the weekends so be prepared to have to wait for a table if you are looking to dine in.
