    Ambiance
    Kanika M.

    The breakfast bowls and housemade bagels are delicious! I also enjoy their pour over coffee as well as specialty lattes such as chocolate covered strawberry. The soft neutral aesthetic with lively music also creates a great ambiance for either getting work done or chatting with a friend. I came here solo and had a great breakfast!

    Such a cute café! The decor is so cozy, the menu items are reasonably priced, and the food was tasty. I tried the chicken salad sandwich and the cashew butter banana toast, both were scrumptious. The lattes were good as well. My one qualm is that the heat turned was up way too high inside the store, causing me to sweat while ordering and I ended up sitting outside. I also noticed quite a few flies at the counter and a bunch more in the bathroom.

    This place has a cute vibe, and loved my sandwich! Service is a bit slow, but I think that's kind of the idea. Hang out, have a coffee and stay a while. They have local bagels and I had an egg and cheese, that was hot with melty cheese. The vibe is fun, and I enjoyed it.

    Ceremonial Matcha Destination! I discovered Pace Café during Café Culture Club event/DJ set by DJ NicNacc. What a gem! This café is such an aesthetically pleasing place - airy, earthy, and cozy. There is plenty of natural light at this cafe and a large window overlooking lush greenery. It's a cafe for slow living. Pace Cafe is known for high-quality, organic, GMO-free, and seed-free eats. It's a perfect match for health-conscious eaters. They have scratch free kitchen which means it takes time and perfection to prepare every dish. The dishes and drinks are so worth the wait! Here's how the experience works. You order at the counter. Menus and specials are displayed. Don't miss the specials! Your order is called when it's ready or delivered to you. If you ordered more than one item, they'll each arrive separately. Meanwhile, you can lounge on comfy couches, sit at the table, or select a nice leather chair to recline on. I went a little over the top with my order since I was there awhile for an event. My order: - Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte ($6.50)- Ceremonial grade matcha with strawberry jam on the bottom. This matcha matcha is recommended all the time in the Facebook food groups, so I had to taste it! It's very smooth and subtly sweet. You can clearly taste strawberries! Easily the best in the city! - Pistachio Honey Bagel ($2.50) - New addition to the menu. I asked to add cream cheese. The bagel arrived toasted and drizzled in honey. I would love it if every single morning began with this bagel! Seriously good value and delicious! - Glow juice ($6) - Cold pressed juice with orange, carrot, lemon, and turmeric. It's well balanced and awakening. - BBQ #1 combo (available for this event only) - Special BBQ meal for the Memorial Day event. The meal included BBQ sliders and chicken salad ($14 + $4 up-charge for salad). My order was lost then found. I received 1.5 slide pieces. I wasn't a big fan of this combo especially grass fed beef. It seemed like not a good value for the price and was too dry. Service was ok. Considering how many guests were at the café, they handled the volume very well. I feel that service would be much more personalized on slow days. The café has cute merch such as branded coffee, reiki-infused tea, bath soaks, and artisan soaps. Also they have mesh totes, perfect for farmers market weekends. Browse the shelf at the front of the café to discover your treasures. I look forward to visiting again. I hope to experience more matcha choices! You should too!

    I visited for the first time on an early morning, around 7:30am, on 4 March 2025. I was warmly greeted by the 2 owners. Pace Cafe opened about 5 months ago, in Autumn 2024. I actually met one of the owners, Ameen Khadair in July 2023 at the Lakewood Arts Festival. He had a booth at the festival for his company, Socially Raw, which are organic cold-press juices. Those juices and juice shots are sold here at Pace Cafe. I met the other Pace Cafe owner this morning, Sabrina Quinones, who is a business partner with Ameen. Both are very warm and kind. JUICES (5/5 - the BEST!!) -- I originally tried one of their cold press juices at the Lakewood Arts festival in summer 2023. Back then I got the Buster (orange, pineapple, lemon, and ginger). This morning, I bought the following juices: FORM (juice) -- 8oz cold-pressed organic juice (celery, cucumber, ginger, lemon) -- $6 // I took a risk and got this celery juice and it's definitely good for you but it's an acquired taste. It's a strong flavour but it is fresh. I'm not sure I'll be able to finish it but I'm glad I tried a different flavour than what I'm used to. SHOTS (juice) -- Energizer wellness shot ($5) -- I bought the energizer shot which includes beets, lemon, and ginger /// I always love ginger shots so this beet shot was a refreshing one. I loved it. TEAS ($3) -- They use the Weetee brand which is an organic tea. I tried their green tea which was good but I added some sugar when I got home. Normally, I add honey to my tea. FOOD (4/5) -- They have the typical cafe options from breakfast and lunch sandwiches, muffins, bagels, etc. From previous reviews that I read, the muffin doesn't appear to be great but I plan to try it on another visit. This morning, I bought a breakfast sandwich with egg and Turkey bacon (without the cheese). There was only a sesame bagel available so I chose that one. The breakfast sandwich was good especially since the bagels are made fresh in-house. Overall, Pace Cafe is a cafe with healthy food and drink options that is owned by two passionate business partners. I'll certainly be back. **** GOAL of 365 reviews in 2025 - 43/365 total reviews in 2025 - 824 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 4 March 2025

    I would rate this place 5+ stars if I could. I absolutely LOVED it, and I can't wait to be back ! The service was a little slow as well, but that's where the negatives stop. I got the iced coffee which was TERRIFIC! I didn't even put in any milk/sweetener bc it was THAT GOOD! I'm still dreaming about it. I also tasted my mom's hot vanilla latte and it was equally as delicious!!! The freshly made bagels, OMG. I got the sea salt bagel and it was AMAZING. It was chewy but toasted perfectly. Wow. I'm salivating thinking about it. And they're made fresh in house every morning! I love the fact that this place has good ingredients, as I try my best to do the same. I could feel good about what I was putting into my body. And the vibe was great! Soothing and relaxing. Plenty of tables. (I'd maybe add a shade for the front area bc the sun is BRIGHT and TOASTY)

    Perfect juice drinks

    Amazing homemade gluten free bagels. Friendly service. Purchased some to go good for you drinks. Love the "awakening" one. They also do home deliveries for their juices within a 40 mile radius. I believe on Saturdays. Warm comfortable establishment.

    I visited Pace again on President's Day and had a great experience. Since it's a scratch kitchen, most items are made to order, so there can be a longer wait, especially with only two workers that day. I didn't mind it much, it gave me time to relax. I'm sure as a newer cafe, staffing might still be a work in progress, but I saw they had a job posting online, so they're making an active effort. I got to try the gluten free bagel sandwich, and it was delicious. I skipped the cream cheese since it was extra, but I wish I hadn't because my friend loved their regular bagel sandwich with cream cheese! The latte was great, and the muffin was tasty, though a bit softer inside; probably just my preference. I appreciate that they prioritize organic ingredients. I think most items probably were organic (I saw the milk was), but I wasn't sure I saw the organic label on the shredded cheese packet, although I may have just missed it. The cafe had a warm, inviting atmosphere with neutral, earthy decor. I loved the design of the registration island and wall accents. A few more couches would make it even cozier, but overall, I appreciated the attention to detail. This place will definitely be in my rotation going forward!

    The seasonings saks and take home items.

    The latte was excellent and well balanced. Not to sweet but flavorful. The server was polite and genuine. He was efficient while assisting multiple customers and then brought my order to my table. The wifi is strong and a nice quiet place to work.

    Such an adorable local spot. Absolutely Loved the iced strawberry vanilla matcha latte. It is a Must try!

It was topped with a thin layer of rhubarb jam that brought a nice tartness along with a dollop of sorghum butter and whipped cream, and served with Ohio maple syrup on the side.

I couldn't finish the whole plate, but only because I was full, not because I wanted to stop. The space itself is small, cozy, and incredibly charming--cute, quaint vibes that make the whole experience feel warm and special. Truly an unforgettable brunch. I'm already dreaming about going back.

It was seemingly cooked in the paper that it was served in so the top of the bread pieces were crunchy, the middle was softer and then everything else was completely stuck to the paper. I didn't get to eat about 1/3 of what I paid for and I had to work really hard for the other 1/3. Also, the bread had a very spicy taste. It must have been cinnamon and allspice, but it was entirely too much and very overpowering. It truly tasted like a spicy savory bread which is not what I was expecting or wanted. Monkey bread is usually gooey and sweet. This missed the mark, but that's okay. I'll certainly return for another treat soon. Also the bread was looking fire this day.
