At the corner of Clinton and Houston, in the Lower East Side, a new coffee shop has opened its doors causing neighbors and residents of the East Village to take notice.
In 2011, Moroccan owner Amine Sadki opened Pause Cafe, which was the result of a life-long dream of opening a place that was warm, homey and welcoming. The guests instantly feel in love with the cafe, and the acai bowls put Pause Cafe on the NYC food map.

a month agoWe were waiting to get seating for a brunch place near by in the same street , while we were waiting we wanted to get some coffee and this cute little cafe was right across the street and we stepped in to grab a cup of coffee. Once we stepped into this cafe it was like in a cozy place away from the bustling streets of new york, quiet and peaceful. The setting of cafe was so warm and welcoming. There were people , it was busy yet we could find the calmness. We just ordered a cup of cafe mocha, which was a good one, I enjoyed it , however it could have been a bit stronger in the coffee flavor. People were ordering different sorts of salads , sandwiches and so on which did really looked great. As we have already reservations made at a brunch place, we had to skip this time. I would highly recommend this cafe for someone who would enjoy a nice , quiet , alone time with good food options. The name of the cafe makes total justice, pausecafe, its like literally can take a pause from your life, the vibe of this place makes it possible to pause and relax for a while from your busy life.

a month agoItโs an awesome place. We had breakfast there every morning when we stayed in NYC lower eastside. The food is fantastic. They have Moroccan style but also great bowls and sandwiches. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere great!

5 months agoThis cafe is freakin awesome! I got the pause egg sandwich, which came on a fluffy nicely toasted roll, with a light layer of beans, avocado, eggs, and a spicy sauce on the side. They have good wifi, an outdoor cafe area (which was too cold unfortunately given the time of year), AND - importantly - a very nice large bathroom with a scented candle *cue airhorn noise* this place is, simply, fire

5 months agoAwesome little coffee shop. They have a huge menu with a variety of options. They also have a large selection of juices and wellness shots. I only got some coffee and juice but would definitely come back to try some of their breakfast items!
