    I recently checked out a coffee place right next to my hair shop, and it was great! When I requested extra whip on my drink, the guy looked confused and respectfully disgusted LOL and that's when I knew.... I was in a real coffee place, they don't play that whip cream stuff their more elegant with the foam and designs at the top lol, I'm just getting my coffee life together have a little grace on me. I ordered a white chocolate mocha, which was delicious, and a creamy cheese croissant that I loved. The vibe of the place was calm and clean. Next time, I plan to sit in and enjoy the full experience!

    Love this neighborhood coffee shop! Very friendly staff and they have fresh pressed orange juice and pastries from Ettores Cafe! It's very chill vibes in head with positive music and very spacious! They just expanded into the suite next door and it's friendly for study or working sessions with outlets throughout the space! Coffee is bomb too! I want to try the matcha next time I visit!

    Banana Cream Matcha

    5 Stars - My New Favorite Stop! Pause Coffee in Fair Oaks is an absolute gem! I stopped by recently and was completely blown away by the quality of the food and the amazing customer service. I tried their signature Banana Cream Matcha and it was perfectly balanced--creamy, fresh, and just sweet enough. It's already my new go-to drink. I also grabbed a delicious spread of goodies: their croissants were buttery and flaky, the bagels were fresh, and the chia pudding was fantastic and healthy. Everything I tried was truly delicious and clearly made with care. Beyond the food, the staff was incredibly friendly and provided top-notch customer service, making the entire experience enjoyable. If you're looking for great coffee, incredible pastries, and a welcoming atmosphere, you absolutely need to stop by Pause Coffee! Highly, highly recommend.

    Plain Latte and apricot scone  3.5 overall rating of both.
    Lisa M.

    I'd rate this 3.5 stars. My latte wasn't the best to be honest, along with the apricot scone. The latte wasn't balanced with enough espresso & the foam wasn't creamy. After comparing to Foursquare in Downtown Folsom the day prior, this fell flat. Same goes with the apricot scone, was pretty dry and bland. I was so surprised, given how crowded it was & stellar reviews. Maybe because there is no other coffee shops in the area, other than chains.

    Haven't been to Pause in a very long time so I was surprised to see the expanded seating area inside when we arrived! The coffee shop was already pretty spacious so it's nice that there is even more space available. I tried out their banana matcha and it was great! A lot of places are jumping on the banana matcha trend so I was weary about this one but was pleasantly surprised. The cream was really good and the banana flavor was definitely present. Will definitely be adding Pause back into the coffee shop rotation again - not sure why it ever fell off!

    Pause Coffee is so good! I'm constantly on the go and use coffee shops for an office. I get the same thing - Breve Flat White. Their's was fantastic. Service was excellent. The ambiance is so good here. And lots of seating spaces indoor and out for singles or groups.

    Tiktok was right about the banana matcha here. It's amazing and super sweet-which I prefer. I came during the Sunday morning rush. After about 20 minutes, I had to check in with the barista. They accidentally skipped my order and immediately started working on my drink. They were super nice about it though and gave me a coupon for a free drink. Definitely a super busy coffee shop. It gets a little loud inside, but there's outdoor seating.

    Seasonal "Gimme S'more Cold Brew"
    Courtney P.

    Looking to try a new coffee shop on my way to take my dogs to their veterinary appointment, I stumbled upon Pause Coffee House. I had never heard of Pause before and was excited to give it a try. There is ample parking as it is located in a strip mall. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. The space is quite large, clean and modern. I decided to try their seasonal "gimme s'more" cold brew - a chocolate cold brew with marshmallow soft top and crushed graham cracker. It was a little sweet, but definitely a nice little treat. Since it was breakfast time, I also decided to try a bagel sandwich, but opted against the spinach and aïoli that came on it. My everything bagel had a perfectly cooked egg, Canadian bacon, and cheese. It was quite filling and given the price, I was quite pleased. All in all, a nice coffee shop and place to meet a friend or sit and do some work.

    All the Basics, None of the Wow none of the spark. Solid spot, but nothing special. I got my coffee and drink in a to-go cup, which felt a bit impersonal, and the service was just okay-I almost felt like I had to guide the process myself. Prices are standard for most coffee shops, around $16 for two drinks, but there wasn't anything that really stood out enough to make me want to come back. It's a decent place if you're meeting up with friends or need somewhere to get a bit of work done, though it leans on the louder side. The patio is a nice touch, and the easy parking out front definitely earns points for convenience. Overall seems like a simple put together coffee shop kinda vibe- a little bit of new and a little bit of old interior- bring me back in time.

    Solid coffee spot! Seems like a good coffee shop to hang out while you drink your coffee. Came here on a busy Saturday and had to sit in the bar area. There was a lot of parking and can't wait to visit again.

Has that feeling.. ya know?!? Service was fast and friendly, everything was super fresh, made to order and solid portions. I got the village veggie, with no cream cheese, but thinking back.. that would probably even make the sandwich more epic, it hit all the right spots. It was flavorful and delivered very well. - my buddy got some kind of chicken sandwich that he said was amazing as well. I also got a coffee and that was tasty, they use Java City, nothing special in my eyes, but I get it. It's a longtime staple. - I didn't even get to touch the desserts this time!!, that will be my mission next visit, along with trying something else... from roaming local roosters to just a really beautiful hangout, definitely this place is worth checking out. They're open 7 AM to 6 PM so I'd say you have really no excuse other than to go get that bomb deli sandwich!

I finally stopped by after picking up something small at Chick Fil A next door. When I pulled up into the drive thru, there was a sign that said that the speaker was currently not working so had to go up to the drive thru window to order. Luckily there was no line when I was there! I pulled up to the drive thru window and initially ordered an Iced Vanilla Matcha. Unfortunately, they were out of matcha so I ended up going with my usual second choice drink which was an Iced Vanilla Chai. I also asked for light ice so it's not too much ice. The drink was made pretty quick so I didn't have to wait too long. I took a sip and was very pleased with their Vanilla Chai drink given it was my first time trying a drink from here! You can definitely taste the chai which was subtle and the vanilla sweetener made it even better. Will definitely try this place again to see how their Vanilla Matcha is! Luckily there's another location near my office building where I work so might give it a try there next time. Although I do love the drive-thru only concept when on-the-go!
