Aw man, I love this bougie coffee place. A decent bagel (jalapeño cheddar ftw), good espresso, queer-friendly, blasting Britney Spears. They have the best iced matcha, and the presto pesto sandwich is delicious! SO many vegan options, by the way. Yes okay it’s not inexpensive, and the space is small and crowded… but it’s worth it! ?

Best latte I've had in a while! My new favorite coffee house. Great taste, top notch premium coffee and who doesn't love a place that puts your cream cheese on your bagel for you, thanks Pavement.

10$ for their basic breakfast sandwich. Egg, bread, cheese. 10$. Get real ?

Definitely 5 stars. Great coffees, delicious food. Many choices on the menu. Many flavors of croffle. This place is tiny, but seats about thirty, comfortably. Full service: a waitress greets you and, if dining in, leads you to a table. DEFINITELY 5 STARS!Kid-friendliness: High chairs available

Another good coffee and a sweet-thang with friends in the afternoon. Selection of bake goods was great this visit; when we come late they are down to just cookies later in the day. Delicious cooks mind you! They are always accommodating as staff; friendly, inquisitive, and adjusting to the customers speed. Coffee is always good and they will do their best to make it your way. Ambiance, hahahahah. A university urban coffee shop willed with nice patronage and some interesting characters. All wanderers aren't lost folks.

I really like it here! Their rosemary salt bagel is always my first choice, and they have a lot of good build-your-own-bagel options! They also have a nice variety of coffees/espresso drinks based on your sweet-level preference. And to top it off, the staff are always super friendly. Just a note- it's a cute shop inside. But there's limited seating!

Jeez what attitude. Hard to Believe you could be made to feel so unwelcome and made coffee with spoiled milk which didnt realize til I was gone. Super

Overcrowded, came up right to the pickup desk and staff didnt acknowledge me at all. What a joke.

Decent food, rude staff on 11/19/23. Seemed like they were mad to do their job and have to stop their conversation.

Coffee is pretty good, I love the seasonal drinks they come up with. I love the bagels (Diablo dream cheese is so good). Service is always pretty fast. Generally some of the staff is unfriendly. I’ve said good morning the past three times I’ve ordered and not once has someone said it back. Maybe I’m sensitive but come on… it’s not that hard.

One of my go to coffee spots in the neighborhood, this Pavement isn't as spacious as other locations, but they're efficient and never disappoint. Even in the rare times there's a mistake in my order, the staff are friendly and eager to amend it.I usually alternate between an iced matcha or iced chai latte, and the Presto Pesto sandwich.

Super cute place! I like he vibe. The people were really friendly, and the food (lox bagel) was delicious. Good spot for working also.

Great staff! Though I’m never super impressed by the coffee here (somewhat watered down, but I’m just particular) I love the bagels and sandwiches!! So grateful for all the vegan options :) I’m sad there isn’t more seating but they do the best they can with the small space
