Peter Pause is one of the best, if not THE best, breakfast place in Schenectady! Good old fashion diner feel, HUGE portions of food and beyond reasonable prices. The staff is really down to earth, personable and always have a smile for you. I can't recommend this place enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Parking: There is street parking and you can usually park pretty close.

Very very good service and food!!! Amie is one of the best cooks I’ve encountered. Waitress Anne is the sweetest person. But the real winner is the home fries. The BEST in the city. Been there many times and planing to go back again soon!!!

The home made corned beef hash was amazing.The burrito was the tastiest ever!
We went to Peter Pause for the first time today. The food is so fresh and the service is great. My husband had the eggs Benedict with spinach and said it’s the best he’s ever had. I had two eggs, over easy, home fries and home baked bread made into toast. Delicious. Can’t believe it took us so long to get to this place. Prices are great too. We’ll be back!!
