An absolute gem hidden off kings heath high street! Rory and Farah are the loveliest owners you could wish to meet. They go above and beyond with what they offer, making sure all their takeaway packaging is recyclable even down to the coffee they select making sure it is organic. They offer vegan friendly options and go out of their way to ensure your allergy requirements are checked. They offer something for everyone!! Their knowledge and passion for what they do is just infectious and you can’t help but leave with a smile on your face and takeaway bag of delicious cake!

Came in today for a couple of coffees as we had seen the café's photos on social media. We were served by Farah and Rory who were friendly, chatty and enthusiastic and passionate about the coffee and food they serve at Pause! Sitting in the aesthetic and cozy surroundings, we tried the Hemmingway (a great speciality coffee!) as well as the hot chocolate and a piccolo coffee. All were made with great ingredients. For food, we were the first (lucky us!) customers to try some of the new brunch items on the menu, including salmon and cream cheese toast (a classic done very well here) and blackberry, goats cheese and honey toast-- this alone was worth the price of admission; sweet, savoury, tart and juicy all at once. Additionally, we tried the granola (all put together with local ingredients by the lovely Farah) which was excellent -- definitely enough for two people in one portion! This was a great first visit-- we will definitely be coming back.

May 2022 Update - Finally, the team Rory and Fara have a permanent home in Kings Court. What to expect? A comfortable, chilled out space. Exciting homemade bakes courtesy of Fara (she was serving up a KitKat Chunky Brioche Bread Pudding when I visited). Some of the best coffee in Birmingham. The usual change up in local artisan roasted coffee beans (keeping the regulars happy). Extracted to perfection. Served in cool splendid looking China. Keep up the good work. Loving the black on pink Pause logo. April 2022 Update - It is now using the Verbena restaurant space in Shirley. Open 7 days a week, but only in the morning on Sundays. What you'll get is artisan coffee and a range of delicious homemade cakes. Verbena is an accommodating, bright environment to relax. Please check it out. I walked into Isherwood & Co and there in front of me lay a fresh faced double team ready to welcome me to, what I believe to be, Birmingham's best kept cafe secret. Welcome to Pause. Prepare to be wowed. You be welcomed wholeheartedly by smiley face of staff. Next you gaze will be diverted to the plastic cabinet that is nearly empty. I arrived at 11am. A whole hour after opening time. In that short period the 2 flavours of the cinabuffins had sold out! The staff member mentioned that have a selection of savouries too. The barista was clearly deeply knowledgeable about all things coffee. Pause's plan is to rotate the speciality roasts on a week by week basis. They are also going to experiment with cinnabuffin and coffee profiles to bring the perfect coffee, pastry combo. I love everything that Pause is. I love the logo, the food they offer, the artisan coffee they craft and the enthusiastic people beavering away to make it happen. Fast-forward a few months, years. Hopefully, they occupy bigger premises and move closer to the city. Better still, could you relocate to my home. I can think of nothing better than having a Pause each day.

I am always keen to support local business, and i was excited to see what Pause had to offer to Kings Heath. The decor is very light and bright, and it instantly makes you happy. There is a couple of seats inside to relax. The reason for a 3 star Is because i ordered to take away and i was actually surprised to see that the packaging wasn't even sustainable or recyclable at local points or with the shop. I know most people would overlook this but actually at the price Pause sells their drinks, I can support another business that invest in their packaging to help our environment. I would be absolutely delighted to come to Pause again, but a better sustainable packaging option (at least) would be essential.

I came here to treat my mum for her birthday, we sat down and were greeted so well, unfortunately my mother didn't desire a cake, but I did! so I ordered to take away. And because it was the end of the day they added a surprise muffin in my pretty pink pause bag. It was such a brief but pleasant experience that warrants a review and I'll definitely go back!

Pause is one of the happiest places I’ve ever visited. The owners, Rory + Farah are two of the kindest people I’ve ever come across. They make unreal coffee + bakes (and now food) constantly. They genuinely deserve all the success in the world + more. Thank you for bringing such warmth to Kings Heath.

By far some of the best coffee I have had in Birmingham: even with a latte there are distinct differences in the flavours of coffee used by Pause, who change up their selection. The baked goods are also great; whilst it might be the fashion to overload things, Pause keep their cookies and bakes sweet enough for feel like a real treat, without being sickly. The cinnabuffins, a cinnamon bun / muffin hybrid, are delicious and easy to eat on the go as well as save for later.

Wonderful coffee shop situated within the Isherwood & Co florist. The friendliest staff, the tastiest coffees and a selection of sweets. I would say the coffee size are small for the price.

I. L.

Best coffee in Birmingham. The flavours and complexity that they are able to showcase are next level - each sip is a trip! The selection of sweet treats on offer are also amazing.

Have followed this coffee Bar in its other locations and so pleased it has found a permanent home in Kings Heath. The service is always friendly and welcoming, the coffee great and the cakes delicious.

Great tasting coffee and assorted baked goods. The barista who served us was very friendly. Me and my friend immediately felt welcome, and the barista was also super helpful in discussing allergens. They even went so far as to make my friend a sweeter coffee, as she prefers her coffee to contain syrup. Awesome experience, hope to visit again soon!

The greatest coffee and cake around, also the most wonderful people that are always happy to chat and make you feel at home! A must visit!!!!

Not enough stars in the world for this wonderful business. The people, the products, the vibe. I’m beyond amazed at the incredible business they’ve built for themselves.

The coffee is delicious! I had a wonderful piccolo coffee with oat milk. The best coffee I have had in a long time. There were a couple of steps to get to the shared sitting area but there was enough space for our buggies.The cinnabuffin was delicious too.

P.

Great coffee, friendly staff, nice shop. Having grown up in the area buying my sweets from the old shop decades ago it was so great to see the corner buzzing with vibrant business again after so many years sat derelict. Support small, and get your coffee here!

A. C.

Really nice little coffee shop who does a wonderful oat latte and really nice sweet treats like cinnabuffins and blondies. Can't recommend it enough

t.

Still the best espresso in Birmingham! My Sunday isn’t complete until I’ve had an espresso at Pause followed up by a delicious cinnabuffin

Where to begin! Firstly, the friendly atmosphere, where you'll be greeted with a smile and. Sourcing some of the best coffee from independent roasteries, ensuring that you drink is to the highest quality, and taking the time to chat about it if you want. Then the cake! My goodness, the Cinnabuffins are to die for! The fact that the coffee pairs so well with them is just a bonus! They are, without doubt, the best coffee in South Birmingham, probably in Birmingham itself! I'll be sad when they leave Artefact, but I'll follow them wherever they set up shop next!

The most delicious cinnabuffins you’ll ever try 🤤 and lovely coffee and service!

S. T.

Annoyingly talented baking. Delicious coffee which changes ever two weeks or so. Also Labrador friendly! Amazing place.

L. B.

The coffee is amazing. The cakes are amazing (you haven't lived until you've tried a cinnabuffin!). Well worth a visit.

D. M.

Had a pourover. It's been a long time since I last had a coffee this good (a little cafe in Lyme Regis was the last). I think I'm not bad at pourovers myself, but clearly I need to up my game at home!

L. R.

Just discovered this lovely place. What a friendly, helpful Barista too. Had a fabulous chai latte and biscoff cinnabuffin. Definitely worth visiting. Well done guys. Great place.

A. M.
