Café Pausenliebe is a cozy spot in Bielefeld’s Sennestadt district, just a short walk from the Obersee and the surrounding green paths. It’s the kind of café that feels like a small retreat after a stroll or a bike ride—especially handy given the bike repair station right outside, a thoughtful touch for cyclists passing through.

The café offers a casual, inviting atmosphere with seating both indoors and outside on the quiet courtyard. Inside, the cottage-style decor paired with carefully chosen background music creates a relaxed yet purposeful ambiance—comfortable enough to linger with a book or meet a few friends without hurry. The vibe is down-to-earth but thoughtfully curated, welcoming locals who appreciate good coffee and baked treats.

Speaking of treats, the menu highlights include freshly made waffles served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, as well as a well-loved cappuccino cake alongside classic cheesecake options. These options suggest a sweet tooth well catered for here, especially for those who prefer their break to feel like a small moment of indulgence. Vegan choices and dog-friendly seating make it an inclusive neighborhood spot that fits a variety of lifestyles.

Early afternoons, especially when the sun is out, seem to be a popular time to stop by, whether for a quiet pause or to catch up with friends. It’s clear the café draws a mix of regular locals and visitors who appreciate its charm and the genuine, friendly service provided. If you’re looking for a place to unwind after exploring the nearby parks or the Pont area, this café hits the right note—simple, warm, and thoughtfully assembled around a love for good coffee and quality desserts.

Nice little cafe near the Obersee. Ideal for a rest after a long walk around the Pont. (Also has a bike emergency repair station just outside - see photo)

Ein ganz besonderer Ort. So gern hier. Der Cappuccino ist super und die Waffeln + Kuchen sind ein Genuss. Drinnen wie draußen sitzt man sehr schön. Selbst die Musik passt und unterstreicht den Wohlfühlfaktor. Der Service ist wertschätzend und mit Herz. Wer sich etwas Gutes tun will, ist hier richtig aufgehoben. Habe eben eine Waffel dort gegessen und diese war so besonders herzlich angerichtet... Komme nicht aus Bielefeld, der Weg lohnt sich aber immer!

A lovely Café with soul. Great for taking a break. Welcoming smell of coffee, freshly baked waffles, and a cottage style interior. Very friendly staff, dog friendly, vegan options. Tasty!

Ich kam kaum dazu, den super leckeren veganen Apfelkuchen und den ebenso leckeren Cappuccino zu genießen, weil ich so fasziniert war von dem Ambiente, diesen vielen liebevoll gestalteten Details, so ideenreich gebaut und installiert Ich kann das alles gar nicht originell genug beschreiben, einfach mal selber hinfahren und erleben. Ich mach's auf jeden Fall!

Ein zauberhafter Ort, um nach einem kleinen oder großen Spaziergang am Obersee, oder rund um die Heckrinderwiesen, bei einer Fahrradtour, Kaffee/Tee/Kaltgetränke und leckeren Kuchen und duftende Waffeln zu genießen und eine Pause zu machen. Es sind auch Außensitzplätze vorhanden.
