History

Established in 2010.

At the age of 24, Amine moved from Morocco to New York with a dream of opening a neighborhood coffee shop that looked like his living room. A cafe that encompassed everything he loved. Even the tea kettles were sent over by his mother from home. During the last blizzard, Amine went around the neighborhood handing out free hot chocolate and tea to everyone passing by. Pause Café is more than a coffee shop for many. It has become part of their daily routine and a home away from home. Pause Cafe has a warm and cozy décor with hints of Moroccan undertones. Upon entering, it is almost impossible not to feel instantly at home. There are no uniforms, stiff advertisements, or empty stale space. The music ranges from indi rock to Sade to Michael Bubblé. The owner, Amine Sadki, 30, is usually found smiling behind the counter or sitting with customers getting to know them. The environment is so comfortable that strangers often feel at ease conversing with one another
