"Some coffee shops are minimally decorated, with just a few tables, and one person wearing glasses making lattes behind a counter. Pause Cafe on the LES is not one of these places. It has tons of watercolor paintings hanging on the brick walls, a huge wooden chandelier, and throw pillows galore. When it’s nice outside, they open the big windows so the whole place feels open and breezy, and there’s typically at least one cute dog hanging out on the bench on the sidewalk." - hannah albertine
