    Coffee

    I saw this place when I drove around the neighborhood. I stopped by after my son's baseball game . This location is very close to Mcbean park where on the weekends it's packed with games. As soon as they saw my son in uniform they asked if he wanted a complementary ice cream cone . The lady said the kiddos in uniform get a free ice cream cone so nice . She said u deserve it buddy after your game . Once inside it was a very cozy cute set it . Very modern and chic . They offer amazing homemade pastries . We had the blueberry bread , donut and some quiche. They were all so delicious. My kiddos got hot chocolate and I got a latte . I wish it came in a cup not a to go cup but it's not a big deal . The ladies that helped us were so nice and attentive. The vibe inside is very peaceful . They have a prayer board I thought that was very sweet . When sitting down enjoying our drinks, we saw a hummingbird on the window it was so cool . They also have a nice outside seating area . We enjoyed our time here . We will be back . This is a non- profit coffee shop and all the profits raised go towards supporting: -Education through scholarships -Orphanages & life centers for refugees around the world -Bringing justice to victims of human trafficking -Supporting other local nonprofit organizations -Community outreach and events So awesome to have coffee and support a good cause .

    Cute and clean coffee shop! The staff member who took our order was kind and helpful. She recommended the blueberry coffee cake and it was delicious! We loved our white mocha extra sweet as well.

    Gluten-free and lactose-free options

    I visited this place randomly when I was in the area and I had remembered seeing it mentioned on a local FB group. It looks like a house from the outside so you may miss it if you're not looking closely. There is ample seating inside and outside. The seating in front has umbrellas and there is picnic table seating in grass in the side of the building. The inside is open and clean. It has a ton of seating even though it's a small space. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they have gluten-free and lactose-free snacks. I ordered a gluten-free blueberry coffee cake that was still moist the following day. I also ordered an iced oat milk lavender white mocha and it was so good. I would say the prices are reasonable. The two women that were working when I came in were friendly, but when I walked in they finished their conversation and didn't greet me. I hadn't been there before so I just went straight to looking at the menu. Also if there is spillage on the drink, I would have expected staff to take the initiative to clean it. (Although I had a napkin and didn't mind much). Due to those reasons, I'm not giving a full 5 stars.

    Inside

    Must try!! On my quest to find the Best Independent Coffee Shop in the Sacramento Region...I may have found it! In fact, it currently holds my #1 Ranking. What a breath of fresh air East Ave Cafe is! You walk in into the freshly appointed shop and are instantly greeted by a barista. Not only instantly, but sincerely greeted making you feel welcomed as a guest of theirs. The interior is all brand new and clean feeling. Subtle music playing with plenty of places to sit. The menu is straightforward with enough choices but not too many. I ordered a large Cold Brew with toffee crunch syrup. Finally an independent shop that doesn't have the sour, fruity tasting coffee that most do in the Sac region. Lastly, and most originally, this is a Christian coffee shop where the proceeds help an adjacent church. Anyone would be welcomed, seen, and valued here though, MUCH more so than the Starbucks.

    I wanted to give this cafe a try after seeing it on yelp, and I'm so glad I did! I got a mexican mocha (left) and a toffee crunch latte (right), both with oat milk and iced! They were both really good, personally I liked the mexican mocha more. I like my coffee a little sweeter so it was perfect for me, I do wish the oat milk was a little creamier. The milk preference can be changed without charge (for now at least). The price for both drinks was $11, which is great considering other coffee places are about $7-$8 per latte. There were places to sit inside and out, and it was decorated nicely. I'll definitely be back, make sure to give them a try!!!

    New favorite spot! Iced chai is delicious. Plenty of seating - a great spot to work or read. Everyone who works there is so nice as well.

    I recommend the espresso at this coffee shop…read more The espresso was very well balanced, it was more on the fruitier and floral tasting like a good medium roast bean. It was flavorful, had strong creama. Water was available from filter. The service was quick and very polite. I was there on Saturday afternoon and it was not busy. The place looks beautiful, clean and sells few crafty items. This place is blessing to visit!

    We decided to stop by for an afternoon coffee while in the area. It was only 70 degrees out that…read moreday, but the AC was cranking & kept it a little too cold inside. The shop was bright & spacious with a checkers/chess table, a long wooden bench wall with tables & seats, & a cushioned seating area. Once we got to the front of the line, we received nice & helpful customer service from the lady working. Notably, their beverage menus didn't have prices listed, just the cost of add ons. We ordered an iced Cinnamon Roll Latte & Horchata Cold Brew from their seasonal fall menu, which had unique offerings. Our drinks came filled to the brim & were tasty with enjoyable flavors. It was a little difficult to get the tight fitting sipper lids on, so be careful. A fun touch is to be able to pick a sticker from a selection they offer to put on your cup! I found them humorous & cute. There are shelves of various merchandise to purchase--apparel, local food/drink goods, stickers, crafts, tea & accessories, travel cups, & other random finds. In the back left of the shop, there is a wall of coin operated machines with items/treats. They also offer free bagged used coffee grounds to take for use in your garden. We had a pleasant little time browsing items & sipping our drinks.

I looked up locations that provided matcha & ran across this tiny gem! I almost was desperate to go to SB that is in the plaza where Taco Bell & Raleys is.... GLAD I DIDN'T!.!.!.! I am soO happy to explore different coffee houses & this is another gem I randomly found! I saw on their menu there is strawberry matcha & a banana flavored one. That looked intriguing, but bcuz it is currently December, I will visit when it gets a bit warmer or if I am in the mood for a cooler drink I will visit here for the other flavors. Its very cute and relaxing inside & comfy feeling. Definitely recommend if your close by! I am very satisfied with how they made their matcha!!! I will bring my husband here since he is a coffee drinker!

It's a very small lot with minimal street parking, some people parking in fire zones due to the lack of parking. All of the businesses around the coffee shop tell customers to not park in their lots which makes sense since the Pause customers spend time enjoying the coffee shop. Complaints aside, if you can find parking, this location is adorable, clean, a bit loud, and the service is faster than the Fair Oaks location.

My son goes to school nearby, so it's a really convenient little spot for families and kids to grab a treat after class. The atmosphere is cozy and cute, and the staff was super friendly even during the rush. I tried the Taro ube drink and it was SO good creamy, flavorful, and not overly sweet. You can tell they put care into their drinks and pastries. Everything looked fresh and the bakery items were hard to resist. This place has a fun vibe for hanging out, studying, or just stopping in for a quick boba run. I would absolutely go back again and try more from the menu. Definitely a great addition to the Twelve Bridges area.

I had already seen photos of their strawberry croissants online, so I knew I had to try one. Even though I stopped by in the afternoon when some items were likely sold out, they still had a great selection to choose from. I paired the croissant with a lavender milk tea, and both were delicious, the tea was flavorful and the pastry was perfectly tasty. Parking was a breeze, too. It's located in a convenient spot next to a Thai restaurant and Subway, and I had no trouble finding a space. I got my order to go this time, but I'll definitely be back to work my way through their other drink flavors and pastry options!
