Pause Cafe

Fantastic community cafe with Moroccan inspired food. Great place to grab a delicious sandwich or more substantive meal for lunch or breakfast, plus pastries for any time of day. They still don’t allow laptops, to encourage conversation, which I think works well. It was packed when we went, but we’re still able to get a seat outside without much effort. I highly recommend trying out any of their platters or the New York Combo. Both were incredible! Can’t wait to come back soon.

The café has a distinct Moroccan charm. The coffee and cappuccino were delicious, and the Moroccan cookies were amazing—my favorite was the almond one. I loved the round mosaic tables, the beautiful paintings, and the large decorative vases—such thoughtful details. Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and lovely vibes make it a perfect spot to relax. We’ll definitely be coming back to try more!

Absolutely loved this place! It’s so cozy and offers a huge selection of food, drinks, and desserts. Everything is also halal!! We tried the chicken avocado sandwich, the New York combo sandwich, the iced strawberry matcha latte, and the fiber boost smoothie, everything was delicious!

Welcoming staff, super quick service even when packed. They bring the food to your table even when it's mostly a cafe, not a restaurant. Super cozy interior Food is delish, also have to note on amazing serving look! A rare thing for breakfasts Matcha is really nice too

I couldn’t get a table at Clinton St Bakery on mid morning of February 14th, so looking for elsewhere for quick meal at the least, I saw this place across the street. Walking in the decor was comforting and colorful, with it being quite busy. Despite busy, I was met with warmth and smiles from staff. I decided to grab a pistachio croissant and chai latte. I decided to change my mind on having it to go and decided to dine in as I had found an empty table. I thought it would have been a hassle as I inquired some time after having ordered. However, again I was met with a smile and my order was warm and fresh when it came to my table. When in area in town again, I will most definitely stop in again and support.
