Pause Coffee House, Fair Oaks CA

Very good coffee, atmosphere with quiet buzz, great outdoor seating too, efficient and helpful staff.

Good vibes! Quality coffee.they know their coffee here! Which is rare! I love the music choice and the atmosphere, the workers are super friendly. However, if you’re in a hurry to get somewhere, you should expect long lines Sunday mornings. They could definitely rearrange or have someone who knows about, interior decorating and rearrange. The seating. The stools are super uncomfortable, and they only have one couch with a lot of open space. I think they can definitely use the space more wisely. To be more inviting and useful.

Pause coffee is my favorite in the fair oaks area. I come here at least twice a month to grab coffee with friends. Their lattes are really good, and have a nice flavorful espresso. I get an iced latte, and their dessert is really good as well. Lots of seating inside and pretty mellow and quiet atmosphere.

Go to for the best brew in town! Coffee. Amazing ettories pastries, personal fav, cherry danish.these guys really care about the good quality stuff, Rosie always greets you with a smile and Ray goes the extra mile to take care of you behind the espresso machine =) Sometimes there's a bit of a line but there's a reason for that, worth the wait

It's not a place for afriacn american people. The atmosphere was awkward as hell. Services were terrible.

Great cafe and location.

They have good food options. But their drinks are sweet, make sure ask easy on sugar

My only critique is that I wish this place had more tables! The coffee, food and staff are SUPERB!

Very unfortunate that this is the closest coffeeshop to my house. I gave this place so many chances but I just don’t like their coffee for some reason: (

The best matcha tea lattes in the world! I mean maybe someone else does it right but mostly I’m disappointed anywhere else besides when I get one here. They use quality ingredients, thoughtfully and properly mixed. Never ever have powder left at the bottom! I love their house made syrups, tea selections and their coffee/espresso drinks are really fantastic too (I come for the matcha consistently, but only because I now limit my caffeine intake). It’s all really delicious! Their pastry selection comes from a place in Sac that’s well known, I forgot where… it’s hard to just get one. The cinnamon rolls are my favorite- made with a croissant dough and are light and flavorful, with a light, thin layer of sugar based frosting. I am also a very big fan of their breakfast bagel sandwich and buy it often. The ambiance is clean, modern, comfortable and airy. Baristas are friendly and many have stayed for years. I’ve been coming since they opened up, and have seen the shifts. Love their seasonal offerings too. They care a lot about consistency and quality. Keep it up!

Came in with my son for a coffee, ended up getting couple bagels, oh man they were fantastic… coffee great as always. Other breakfast options will have to wait till next time but they looked good on the menu…. Awesome coffee shop

Awesome vibes, everyone is so nice and the coffee is my favorite in Fair Oaks. I only took a star off because the bike lock area is not user friendly at all and I was worried about my bike while trying to study. And yes, I love this place so much I use it as a biking/ running destination reward!

This is a favorite place ro come with friends for a good cup of coffee, Danish, and conversation. We never feel rushed and enjoy the ambience. The staff is also very friendly and helpful.

The food choices becomes so limited after a specific time which (I’ve been there twice) was a disappointment after having to get off the highway thinking lunch can be had.

Sunday is a very busy time. Coffee is great, staff is polite and friendly but be prepared to wait on a Sunday!
