Bright and Beautiful Ambiance
The large windows bathe the space in natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. The overall design is clean and modern. However, a minor point to note is that some storage areas were visible and slightly cluttered, detracting a bit from the overall polished look.
Friendly Service and Delicious Dishes
The staff at Pause It are friendly and attentive, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable dining experience. You’ll feel right at home as they guide you through the menu or answer any questions you might have.
Speaking of the menu, Pause It offers a variety of brunch classics alongside some more unique options. We opted for the Salmon Egg Benedict, Seared Sesame Tuna Salad, and the Beef & Bacon Burger. Each dish was a delight – the eggs in the Benedict were perfectly poached, the tuna salad offered a refreshing mix of flavors, and the burger was juicy and satisfying. Portion sizes were good for us, and the price point was reasonable. We got pretty full because we couldn’t resist adding a side of their black truffle fries, otherwise, it’s good just with the main dish too!
Latte Art Perfection
Pause It elevates the brunch experience even further with their latte art. Each coffee or latte drink is adorned with intricate and delightful designs, making your beverage a visual treat as well as a delicious pick-me-up.
The Verdict: A Brunch Gem in Mongkok
Pause It is a fantastic choice for a relaxed and enjoyable brunch in the busy Mongkok – since there are not a lot of places like that in the area. The bright and stylish ambiance, friendly service, and delicious food all come together to create a memorable dining experience. While there’s a minor quibble about some visible storage, it shouldn’t deter you from trying this. Don’t forget to order one of their beautiful latte art drinks to complete your visit!
