Pause is a great place for meetings. I met a couple of new friends today and got a brewed coffee. Their coffee is so good. Their staff is friendly. It really is a great place to study or just hang out. read more

I've been to this place a couple times before because it is very close to my house and it has a very cozy vibe. I used to come here to study before my finals and AP exams and it's definitely the perfect place for it, but I will say their stuff is a little bit more expensive for what u get. The lattes are good but I would say there's better places for sure- I'd mostly come here for the vibe/ambiance. I got an avocado toast which also was pretty good I just wish there were more tomatoes. Besides that, I'd recommend for a chill place to hang out or study! read more

Pause Coffee House - White mocha & avocado toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Rocklin, California

I've been to a pause at other locations and have had wonderful experiences. I was disappointed in my experience here , unfortunately. Upon ordering the peanut butter mocha , one iced and one hot, and a couple of breakfast sandwiches we promptly took a seat to wait for our order. When our drinks were called out I picked them up and upon seeing them & tasting them could tell that there was no chocolate in them. I retired to the bar and tried to speak to the barista and she looked at me and looked away completely ignoring me as I tried to talk to her and scoffed a bit. I felt a bit awkward standing there .... When the person at the register with whom we had ordered saw this and came over. I explained to them that the drink didn't taste right ... that we had ordered a peanut butter mocha. He looked a bit confused and then said that he thought we had gotten a peanut butter latte... this was a bit confusing as the seasonal drink on the menu that we pointed at was the peanut butter mocha. He did offer to remake them and we took him up on that. The drinks were much better the second time around! The awkwardness with the barista left me feeling uncomfortable.... However i truly appreciated them remaking the drinks and finding a quick solution. read more

This was our first time at this Pause location. Parking is pretty tight but we lucked out with front row parking! The girls working were welcoming and helped by answering a couple questions we had about the menu. We decided on the Pumpkin Spice Latte, Banana Foam Matcha and Strawberry Lemonade. We also ordered an Almond Croissant to share. My PSL was the perfect balance of coffee and pumpkin spice. The Banana Matcha was yummy! My little loved her Strawberry Lemonade (she said it wasn't too sour). And the croissant was lovely! We're already taking about what we want to try next visit! read more

One of my favorite coffee spots in sacramento and especially in fair Oaks since it's right next to my house. really nice interior design always a good crowd of people and no homeless. And the prices is more importantly are extremely fair compared to many other coffee shops. I come here at at least 2 to 3 times a week. read more

stopped in to get a dirty chai on the way to our destination so made a quick stop here and omg they have the best dirty chai i've had! the ambience is really nice if you're they're to study or do a few work emails. the bartender was friendly! i didn't ask her name but blonde a with cute tattoos made my visit! there was a couple in front of me before i out in my order and another cashier with brunette hair said "coming in as we're closing is crazy" which made me feel bad immediately :( but the bartender who helped me quickly shifted my experience with kindness and for that, i thank her :) i asked for a hot dirty chai and she made an iced one by accident but that's okay because she let me keep it and made a hot one in addition so now my husband and i have a quick pick-me-up! read more

The coffee itself is nice, but it's just a very slow and busy place. Parking can be tight unless you park further away at a different business. My main issue is that it takes so long to get just a basic cup of coffee. I ordered a cappuccino and it took 16 to 17 minutes. The coffee is good, but it's not that good to make me wanna wait that long. If they start to allow online orders, I would do that. Pause your life to get coffee, I suppose read more

Great matcha: smooth, bitter enough but enjoyable, and vibrant. Service was okay, but ambiance was spectacular. read more

I got an iced the banana dream matcha and my friend got the strawberry matcha. Both drinks were really good! I really enjoyed my banana one! Once we order we got our drinks pretty quick which was nice. I will say in regard to pricing it was a little on the expensive side. But overall it was a nice ambiance and drinks were good! read more

Overall, this is probably my favorite coffee shop in Rocklin. I always order an iced butterscotch oatmilk latte and I add cinnamon. The lattes are always amazing and I also love their chicken caesar wrap. (I find they don't normally put enough ice so I usually ask for extra.) The downsides to this place though are occasionally the attentiveness of the staff, as I've come in a few times and waited awhile before being acknowledged by a staff member. They aren't normally all that cheerful or friendly, but I take that with a grain of salt. They also don't always call out your order when your drink is ready, even when you're standing in front of the pickup counter, so be mindful of that. The coffees are a bit pricey, as I pay $7.75 for the larger size, but overall, this never stops me from coming back. I hope Pause stays around for a long time! read more

I got the iced butterscotch latte and while it doesn't taste exactly like butterscotch, it's quite a delicious iced coffee. However, as seen in the picture, the second butterscotch latte I got for my friend was a different, light color and did not taste as good. The baristas were very nice and lovely. The interior is very spacious with lots of seating. This would be a wonderful place to study or have a coffee date with some friends. read more

I have been going here for 2 years now as my go to spot. I grew up Christian but don't identify with it now. I was greeted with, "have a blessed day!" Twice. I have never heard this growing up and never from this establishment. I was perturbed. I felt like I was in the handmaids tale. I wanted to ask her to blink twice if she needed help. Coffee is great but I felt uncomfortable. read more

Went to this little coffee shop with no anticipation of what it would be like. Very nice setting atmosphere is wonderful. Good temperature regulation. Excellent area to sit outside clean neat. Staff are very friendly. I had a honey lavender latte and it was excellent. highly recommended. Plan on spending 6.00 to $6.50 depending on what you buy so it is a reasonable price! read more

We stopped by while running errands on a whim and it turned out to be a fantastic decision...one of the best iced lattes I've had! Their iced vanilla latte with whole milk? SO GOOD. The right milk-forward and sweet balance that I like. The vanilla rose latte with almond milk was my boyfriend's favorite- it was good, but I found the iced one to be smoother. Would definitely come back. read more

My fav coffee place in rocklin. Good vibes. Coffee and food is tasty. Quick service! Come here all the time!!

Definitely not what it used to be. Used to frequent this place before and after the change in ownership. Stopped by for coffee recently, the space has seen a lot of changes. Definitely not as cozy, the space is dimly lit and it seems like new owners tried to cram as many seats as possible in the space. I mean I get the business incentive of that but this shop definitely feels a lot more like a crowded school cafeteria. It doesnt help that theyve crammed every empty wall and table surface that isnt cluttered with some kind of merchendise. In terms of service Its dificult to hear for your order. Again, The bar is cluttered and service is slow. Its hard not to notice even past the pleasant nostolgia that made me want to visit. I dont think Id recommend this shop to anyone new. I dont think id make my way out here myself unless theirs some tidying up on the owners part. Its a mess. read more

The fresh juice that is "sunny ____" I can't remember the rest of the name but it's great!

Back today and had the MOST PERFECT honey oat milk latte with beautiful latte art heart! Perfect temperature and made to PERFECTION!! I LOVED THE ALMOND CROISSANT! So fresh and filled with almond and tastes just like those I had in Italy last month (only flat which makes it easier to eat!) The place had a number of people enjoying their purchase and having quiet conversation in the various seating areas. Great morning on 8/31/24! read more

Pause Coffee House - Delicious Honey Oat Milk Latte!!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Rocklin, California

This is my favorite coffee shop I think I've been here a total of 100 times in the past year. The seasonal Bourbon Cardamom latte is so good, their matcha lattes also a fan favorite I try to branch out to other coffee shops but nothing compares to the kind and understanding employees and the delicious coffee they make EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. They are by far the most consistent coffee shop ever. It can get a little packed so I recommend going early but go inside and enjoy the beautiful interior! read more

Visiting family in Rocklin and wanted to try a craft coffee house. Found this on Yelp and walked in to check it out. Both drink were made really well, we could taste the flavors of the coffees and the ice never melted down. The space was huge and had lots of seating. The menu was a good mix and they had specials for the summer. Barista was nice and friendly. I waited about 5-7 minutes for my drink but it was worth it. I'll be back! read more

I love this place! Great for studying, good coffee, and cozy inside. I want to keep coming back :-)

Checked all of the boxes for a perfect coffee shop! Plenty of space/seating, friendly staff, good vibes, tasty flavors, plenty of options, and STRAWBERRY MATCHA! I'm bummed I'm not close by the area but I will definitely make my way back to Pause someday. read more

Awesome local spot! Super friendly staff, great atmosphere, and always a good time. Definitely one of my favorite places to hang out.

Happy to find this larger location of this coffee house. In the area today, so visited. They have crepes! The strawberry/banana with Nutella crepe was wonderful. Had the same Summer Peach iced tea as the usual location I visit. Yum! Large parking lot around this store and easy to navigate to enjoy this place. Lots of indoor seating available with several community tables for larger groups. Outdoor seating is good as this store is at a corner of the building. Well staffed today. Served quickly. read more

After my son's morning baseball game we wanted some coffee . I looked for some coffee shops on yelp near us . This one showed up and it caught my eye. After arriving to the location which was like two minutes away from the baseball field I realized I had been here before, but it was called a different name I am assuming under new ownership. The inside and everything was exactly the same. Inside its a nice big open space perfect for studying/working and hanging out . They also have some outdoor seating available. I ordered from the seasonal menu I got the Harvest spice latte which is a pumpkin latte so delicious. My mug came with a cute design too ! For food I ordered the avocado toast it had the perfect amount of avocado . My son ordered the hibiscus tea and a huge pastry . The pastries they offer are from Ettore's Bakery I had their cakes before and they are super good so I was glad to see the pastries were from that bakery. The staff is all very friendly and attentive. This is a great place to grab a good cup of Joe or Tea . They offer breakfast goodies and good pastries. I seen a lot of people with their laptops just relaxing, enjoying a cup of coffee. I will definitely be coming back. read more

If you want a 'pause' from the hustle and bustle of life...stop by Pause Coffee House and treat yourself to great atmosphere, ans even better coffee. It's spacious, with indoor and outdoor seating.

As I always say to myself, sometimes I need to pause and take a break from all the hustle and bustle that surrounds my life. And this is where "Pause Coffee House" comes in the picture. Located directly at the corner of Sunset Blvd & Park Dr in the heart of Rocklin, this coffee house is their 2nd location that opened in early-2020. Many people who have had their coffee already are familiar with their Fair Oaks location (at Madison Ave/Fair Oaks Blvd). I was eager to try this one out as I was in this area for the day. Since I was in need of my coffee fix, I came here later in the day at around 2:15pm on Saturday 10/14/2023. The inside of this place is just a tad bit smaller than their flagship location in Fair Oaks but nonetheless, it has a very warm, cozy, and inviting feel to it. The interior is housed with very high ceilings and an abundance of wooden tables throughout, excellent for studying and working. The Wi-Fi speeds are quick while power outlets are readily available to keep your smartphone/tablet/laptop charged. Finally, they offer two restrooms and generous outdoor seating. Since it was a fairly warm fall afternoon (around 80°F), I decided to go with a cold beverage and settled with a 12 oz. size of their "Iced Brown Sugar Latte". Since this was past their morning rush, my drink was made within a couple minutes and handed to me at the pickup area. This is one of my favorite espresso drinks as I enjoy the bitterness of the espresso combined with the sweet brown sugar as it has never disappointed. All in all, this is a great, small family owned business that is worth checking out. It is also miles ahead better in quality and service than Starbucks and Peet's. For those that may not know, this is once the place where "Origin Coffee & Tea" stood for many years. The hours here are decent as they are opened for business 7 days a week from 8:00am-6:00pm. With the excellent service, great ambiance, and tasty drinks, I am giving the Rocklin "Pause Coffee House" a unanimous five-star rating. read more

This would be my go-to coffee spot to do homework or read a book if I lived in the area. I came to Pause since I was in the area waiting to go to another event. Its easy to find and plenty of parking in the shopping center. I would say it's bigger than your usual coffee shop. I was pleasantly surprised to see how much seating is available! There's a large table in the middle, high table along the front, and small coffee tables. They offer a variety of coffee as well as food like breakfast sandwiches, bagels, avocado toast, crepes, and oats. I ordered a white mocha with chocolate drizzle and oat milk and avocado toast and my total came out to a little over $17. The coffee was good. Avocado toast had a hint of lemon, which I think most do, but you're definitely able to pick up on it with theirs- also contains sun dried tomatoes and arugula- very good! There was only one staff member that I saw and he was working hard. Service was good, ambiance was good, not a lot of distractions and I feel like I'd be able to stay here a few hours to get work done. I'd definitely come back if I was in the area again! read more

This was my first time at this location, and unfortunately, it didn't leave a great impression. The drinks were just okay--not bad, but definitely not worth the higher price. They also took quite a while to prepare, which added to the underwhelming experience. What stood out most was the surprisingly rude attitude of the employee at the register. She seemed unhappy to be there and didn't make any effort to be welcoming. For the prices they charge, basic customer service should be a given. Not likely to return. read more

Really cute coffee shop that seems to be pretty popular with a steady flow of customers! I'm from Sac but came here to study for the day while waiting for my dog to finish surgery at a local vet clinic here in Rocklin. This coffee shop has ample seating, is very clean, and has plenty of parking spaces available in the surrounding lots. The staff do a great job at keeping the tables and floors clean, and their baristas are friendly. I spent about $11 for an iced mocha latte and everything bagel with cream cheese, which is typical pricing these days. No complaints for the coffee or bagel :-) After being here for about 2 hours, they seemed to have cranked up the AC. Even with my jacket on, it's pretty chilly so I'll likely head out shortly. Otherwise, great ambience for getting some work done (with headphones on). Wouldn't recommend this shop though if you need to hop on a call or meeting, as the ambient noise from their overhead music, coffee grinder, and customers talking can be pretty loud. read more

I am in the area often and had to get a pick me up so what better than a local coffee shop. They have a nice, open space, and there were several people there on a Saturday around noon. They serve some food items and some seasonal coffees. I got one regular and seasonal coffee. The Honey latte wasn't too sweet but not as strong as expected. I also got the toffee nut latte, and that really didn't have much toffee nut flavor, more like just a latte. Next time, I will definitely check out the other seasonal and maybe just espresso to see how that measures up. read more

I'm not proud to say how much coffee I consume in a week but needless to say, I'm always on a search for consistent, well balanced lattes and a buttery pastry is a plus. As a way to explore other options I try to open my mind to new places and more often than not I'm underwhelmed. Pause on the other hand hits all of the caffeine essentials. The syrups are not overpowering so you can really savor the flavor of the coffee. The shop is open and you can often find many people with their laptops indulging on their caffeine and neck deep into their work loads. The staff is usually warm and welcoming. This is a regularly visited place for me! read more
