A family-friendly space for everyone

Welcome to our family-run café in Montreal.

Imagine: a Pauze Cafe for a moment of relaxation with or without your mini-adventurers, play areas for collecting memorable souvenirs and a studio that offers yoga and fitness classes and transforms into a room for your parties and events.

Who we are

Your well-being is important to us.

We're two local moms who wanted to offer a multifunctional space for adults and kids. Emily, yoga teacher, trainer and customer service enthusiast, and Kelly-Ann, trainer, event planner and entrepreneur.

We look forward to meeting you and becoming part of your daily life!

Pauze Play

Play areas for children.

Two young boys in disguise

Our children's playgrounds include a dedicated area for toddlers aged 0 to 3, combining fun, education and safety for interactive learning. For children aged 4 to 8, another area offers more complex play modules to stimulate their imagination and energy.

As a children's playground on Montreal's West Island, we offer a place where learning and fun meet.

    Caroline Kelso

  • "I've lived in Lachine since I was a kid. It's great to see this project taking place right next door to us."

    Hugues Dalphond

  • "The kids will love the playgrounds and so will the parents! It's so much calmer than the big trampoline or play centers. I love the concept."

    Caroline Tremblay

  • "The arrival of a multifunctional space dedicated to families where you can relax while drinking a good cup of coffee was greatly anticipated in Lachine! I can't wait to get there and spend some time with my kids and other local moms!"
