Pause

I’m creating this new post entry on the Pause cafe near my place because I’m often mentioning it, but I have different bits of info scattered throughout the site (you can see all those posts here). The place acts as an office and cafe for Roughtoyz. You can find a map here. It now closes at midnight on weeknights and Saturdays, and 10 on Sundays and holidays.

If you open a cafe in Yokohama, I’ll be the first in line to visit.

Just scrolling down the site and wondered: how did you get photos of the place with no people in it?

These were taken when the cafe had just opened, and it was often empty. It’s become quite popular now though, especially on weekends when it’s almost always packed.

Btw, maybe you should offer them these great pictures to put on their Web site, all they have is a darkish small one.
