Quick info
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
The jacket potato and the free child's meal deal draw repeat praise, alongside reasonably priced coffee and lattes served extra hot. Tomato and basil soup gets a mixed nod for mild flavor. Recurring complaints center on long queues and confused staffing, including one diner left without breakfast twice after items ran out. One reviewer also describes a supervisor speaking harshly to a staff member in front of queuing customers.

“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 🤣”

“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 …”

“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.”

“Twice in one week have had HORRENDOUS experience. First time I ordered a breakfast and waited twenty minutes until I had to get up and ask where my food was. They had forgotten about me and ran out of hash browns. I left after 30mins with no breakfast. Second time I ordered a breakfast again and after paying the manager shouted “we haven’t got any baps”. Imagine the horror on my face after they even messed up the refund. Won’t go back! Worst place I’ve ever ATTEMPTED to have food.”

“Had an unplanned stop for lunch today at Dunelm. Lovely selection of hot food, quite busy for a Saturday but we were able to get a seat. I had a tomato and basil soup which is why I scored a 4. Not much flavour to the …”
