Pausa Coffee, LLC — Restaurant in City of Syracuse

This is a beautiful establishment and I’m looking forward to visiting again!

Food:

They have limited options that involve simple pastries on display. When I visited, they had cherry and almond danishes, croissants, muffins, and blueberry bread.

I ordered a croissant and it was decent, but I’ve definitely had better croissants at nearby businesses. The pistachio latte I ordered was pretty good and not very sweet, which is something I worry about when ordering specialty lattes. This latte is definitely worth trying. I loved that it had crushed pistachio in the drink and that it wasn’t just flavored with syrup!

Service:

The person taking my order was great! He was friendly and fast. However, it took the baristas over 10 minutes to prepare my latte even though I placed my order before they got busy. One neat thing they do is tape the straw to the cup for to-go orders. The tape has the coffee shop’s name and it was so cute. I felt like I was taking a special little gift with me!

Atmosphere:

The space is gorgeous!!! The color scheme is warm. The tables are nice and sturdy. Booth seating is comfortable. They also have a lounging section with sofas near the front.

All in all, I will definitely be coming back to try more menu items but will probably grab something to...

Food: Delicious coffee, my wife and I got the Velour Bloom latte and it was absolutely delicious! Refreshing, tasty and not too sweet. The added touch of a sprig of lavender was a nice surprise and elevated the drink. We will definitely get it again!

Service: The barista was present, kind and inviting 5/5

Atmosphere: We really enjoyed the decor of the cafe. It was certainly a step above local shops. The calm music and decorations made for a relaxing visit. They also have a chess board and playing cards at the tables, which was nice to see. They should consider getting a full sized chess board in the future.

I highly recommend this cafe to anyone in the area and I'm happy to soon become...

It’s everything and more. A cozy, warm atmosphere where we can just relax and enjoy the moment. I went in with my husband and kids so we could just catch up from the week and enjoy each others company. Aside from the beautiful and thoughtful decor - the lattes were delicious. The Pausa is my favorite so far! My kids enjoyed the pastries while playing cards and chess. We went back at night for some cocktails with friends. Everyone enjoyed themselves and we loved our cocktails from espresso martinis to tea to a N/A spritz - there was something for everyone. The staff has been so inviting and personable. This is the place we needed and will definitely...
