Pause Coffee House

With a limited menu I wasn’t sure if I’d find something that I’d enjoy. I tried a iced butterscotch coffee with milk and it wasn’t bad, but the almond croissant was delicious which really surprised me since it was flat as a board (never seen that before) the sign said that they come from ettore’s so there’s no surprise that it was delicious 🤤
The person helping me was very friendly and nice but the lady making the drinks was the opposite. She acted like she really didn’t want to be there.
The Restaurant seemed to be clean with lots of beautiful plants around 🪴

Nice cafe, looks modern, lots of space, nice atmosphere. 😀👌
You can drink delicious coffee, eat fresh pastries. ☕️🍩🥐
You can work at the computer and meet to talk with friends. 👩‍💻🧑‍💻
We liked this cafe. ✅

I would like to recommend this place! I liked the coffee, the croissant 🥐 was delicious for a long time with almonds, coffee atmosphere! The place is perfect for working at the computer, meeting friends and of course for sitting alone and having a cup of coffee!

Coffee and service is good. They have a sandwich board up for food, kitchen closes at 1pm. Limited pastries though I got there closer to noon so thats on me. Loyalty program on first visit. Will be back when in Fair Oaks again.

much too light of a roast for my liking, asked for cream but didn't get any cream. atmosphere is wonderful, however. beautiful café!

I go to Pause Coffee House (on Madison) 2-3 times per week because I work remotely. So I’m typically there for several hours each visit. Pause is definitely in my top 3 for coffee shops. The staff is always friendly and the service is great. The food options are pretty good too. My favorite food item is the bagel sandwich with a jalapeño cheddar bagel. They have decent pastries too. My favorite part is the environment: real plants; high tables and chairs (because I like to switch between sitting and standing); the rustic/iron and wood furniture and decoration; and good coffee. I highly recommend this place.

Wonderful location, great service every time. It’s got a cozy feel that is warm and inviting. The drinks are outstanding, far better than the Starbucks down the street. It’s worth passing up on another drive-thru coffee shop to come here and get a quality beverage with kind faces.

This is a real coffee house, not a chain store. Their coffee is excellent. There are no fancy frozen sugary drinks just the standards, espresso, coffee, lattes, mochas. The coffee is not bitter, but slightly sweet. They also sell assorted pastries in addition to packaged coffee. The store has plenty of seating, fast courteous service and is clean. If you like real coffee, this is the place.

Great study environment. Staff is very friendly and goes out of their way to provide great customer service. If you'd like to design your drink a certain way, the staff does their best to accommodate!

And for the students: yes they have outlets for you to use to charge your devices. 😄

The coffee and staff are fantastic and I love the industrial vibe. They do have some prepackaged gluten-free options, but no gluten, free, fresh baked goods. They keep the temperature of the establishment too cold for me in the winter so I often leave my jacket on while I’m there. I would enjoy my visit more if I could sit in a chair versus on a stool. There are no chairs in the establishment.
