About Pausa Cafe
Pausa Cafe is a cafe on Parc Pemberton Retail Park in Llanelli, serving hot food from a counter selection rather than a full table-service menu. The menu of 22 items includes a tomato-based soup with a bread roll, alongside a cheese and tomato pizza and tomato penne pasta. Children's options run to a cheese toastie and a half jacket potato with cheese, and a kids' meal comes free with an adult spend of £4. It operates on a walk-in basis and opens daily. Food can take a while to reach the table, and the cafe posts a sign showing the estimated wait. Hot chocolate and Pom Bears round out the counter offerings.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to the free kids meal with an adult purchase, alongside a jacket potato one regular called the best ever and lattes served extra hot. Soup draws mixed comments, peppery for one and short on flavour for another. Complaints centre on slow queues and food, with one person serving, and one diner reports a forgotten breakfast, no hash browns, and a mishandled refund.

“A bit confusing if you havent been there before , the kids cheese toast is not from the fridge , just in case they send you away like they have done with me🤦♀️ also long wait in the queue,so I didnt give in and went back where my queue was! and longer wait for food as I have experienced today and told by others there. There is also a sign to say how long for food. Good place for a catch up i say, it is nice just having one person serving customers is not ideal, and when others appeared, it was even more confusing as 3 people were dealing with one order 🤦♀️maybe something to work on. I defo be back , kids eat for free, so overall I paid £4.20 for my soup with bread roll , kids meal woth drink and snack. My toast soup was very peppery which I like , not sure if others would like it though. I was hoping and read on my face like a beetroot 🤣”

“We visit Pausa Llanelli at least twice a week. Lovely coffee, reasonably priced. If my granddaughter is with me her child's meal deal is free if you spend £4, absolute bargain. I had the best Jacket potato ever last week, prepared and served by Louise. The Baristas, serve our latte extra hot, just as we like it. Thanks to Gareth, Meg, and the other staff.”

“Normally ok but today they seemed surprised to have customers, and even more surprised that the customers might request food. The supervisor spoke to one of the girls like dirt in front of all the queuing customers. I'm happy to report said girl took her to one side to ask she never does that again in front of customers. 25min wait for food announced. So we ordered the soup to avoid any cooking time. Next up they gave my son his food but not us. We waited whilst he ate a rock solid toastie. No ketchup available. Then they delivered our food to the next table who ate it. Then we waited some more. Then we complained. Got an apology and free tea and a doughnut for my son. Ate 45 mins after ordering. Completely shambolic, seems an area manager was there visiting too, won't be going back. Shame as it used to be good.”

“Nice place but service is applauding never in a rush to serve you and takes forever, especially when they take time away from the counter to chat with friends!!”

“The food and drink in Pausa in Dunelm Llanelli is good, but some of the staff are extremely sullen. The girl who served us yesterday could barely look at us, let alone speak. The only words she managed were "do you want chocolate on the cappuccino?" When I asked if the toasted teacake would be the normal one or the hot cross bun version, she simply pointed at the normal one whilst staring straight ahead. I asked for the hot cross bun version instead (same price), and she actually rolled her eyes! She didn't answer, just took one from under the cover. Dreadful.”
