Cosy and unpretentious, one of our fave haunts both with and without our dog. We especially love the cheese toastie with tomato soup, barramundi, yoghurt, (and we rly miss the discontinued salmon). Prices are typical of cafes, but the food here is consistently satisfying and wholesome. It gets pretty busy with both humans and pets during weekend lunches but weekdays are fairly quiet. The team is always rly friendly and welcoming, and we also really enjoy the fresh air and relaxed vibe of the place.

Loving the vibes here...everyday is weekend! Pet friendly too and my Frenchie had a nice time chilling here. Food is absolutely delectable. Missing here is the ham and cheese toastie - everything is so good!! Will be back.

Love that it’s pet friendly so we got to see lots of cats and dogs (mainly dogs) during our visit here Food wise is a very good pricing for the quality. I enjoyed the steak & frites, though I believe the sauce doesnt enhance the taste of the steak but takes away from it. Toasties was absolutely delicious As they’re a new team from what I can tell, lots can be improved in their operations (like long wait times) but the service staff make up for it with their friendly and caring attitudes

Came here with my dog and had an excellent time. Quaint cafe. Dog lovers everywhere. Not many dog cafes in Singapore to bring out fur babies but this one is great. Strongly recommended!

Had an amazing breakfast with our JRT at On Pause cafe on a weekday morning. A fantastically pet friendly environment with both non-aircon & aircon seating available. We had the "all-day" breakfast plate and mushroom truffle soup, which turned out to be absolutely delicious! Food portions are generous and it reminds me of lazy summer morning cafe brunches back in the UK! Our JRT had a free "PupCup" containing whipped cream & honey! She slurped up the whole cup in a jiffy! We will definitely be back again soon!

A cozy indoor pet friendly cafe hidden in plain sight along Lowland road. Decent coffee and food, will definitely come back for it but the price is on the high side given the neighbourhood area. Highlight for us was the indoor air conditioned pet friendly area which makes us much more comfortable with a frenchie. They have pets meal available too!

Love the food here. Tasty. Steak was handled well too. Usually you don’t really get pink steaks when u order a medium rare in a cafe. So very pleased with tat. The chimi sauce tt came with brighten it up! Coffee was not bad. Only complaint is that the cafe is open air as its pet friendly. So it can make the dining experience a tad stuffy. But overall, I would be back for the food.

My partner and I came here for a late lunch. Pesto linguine especially was excellent (barely pictured cos we already ate into it): rich and savory with light nutty aftertaste. Latte was delicious. Quiet and chill atmosphere, highly recommended! Staff are quick and friendly
