What a beautiful and cozy place! I absolutely loved it, and this is going to be one of my go-tos from now on! I love the fact that it’s woman and POC owned, and the owners are so kind and sweet. I really recommend that you come here. I got a croissant BEC and a lavender latte and it was delicious! I really love the music and the atmosphere because it makes you feel like you aren’t in Berks county, but instead a warm and welcoming place. I really cannot put into words how much I love this place, and it’s only my first visit, but I like how it feels focused on creating a third space, where community can be formed. I applaud the owners and I can see all of their efforts that are being put into this place. Definitely telling all of my friends about it because we need to support and protect this place at all costs, it’s truly a hidden gem in the area!

We have gotten food from here many times. Best West Indian food in Reading. Authentic the real deal. Not some fake American version.

The atmosphere and food was amazing. The moment you step in there, it’s like escaping to a tropical island. The music fit the theme and got you moving in your seat. I definitely recommend the chili and the waffle sandwich. 10/10

Amazing food and no shortage of it! The jerk chicken rice bowl mustve weighed a couple pounds and had tons of chicken and an unexpected chick pea/slaw salad that was super refreshing and delicious. Oxtail grilled cheese was fantastic too! Will definitely be trying more from the menu soon!

This is such a cute place and the people are nice. I wasn't super impressed with the drinks, but after tasting their brisket panini I HAVE to give them 5 stars. No joke that sandwich is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had in my life. You HAVE to try it!!! It'll rock your world UPDATE: They made me some Thai Coconut Bubble tea extra strong and it was delicious! And they did it on the house! They're so nice! This may be my new favorite cafe! 💓

What a stop on the way back to NY. Had the pulled pork and the cook was kind enough to give us samples of the chicken curry w/ roti and pumpkin w/ plantain chips. This was ridiculously good. Almost illegal 😂. Alot of love when into that dish and her smile and warm welcome was the bonus. A must if ur in the neighborhood. The iced latte and my sons smoothie were also spot on!

So glad this café moved into our neighborhood. Had the pleasure of visiting on Friday. Loved the decor and tropical vibe. Everything fresh made. Had a danish and breakfast sandwich and they were tasty. I can't wait to go back. Thank you for the great customer service too!

My wife and I recently moved to Reading, PA, and we love exploring everything our new home has to offer. If you're in the mood for a delicious island-inspired breakfast, Pulse Cafe is a fantastic spot. **Important**: Finding it can be a bit tricky since it's located inside a food court that used to be a bank. When you enter, immediately look to your left where you'll see another dining area. Head towards that area, then make a right. Walk straight, and you can't miss it. The breakfast is fresh, and the service is excellent. We'll definitely be back!
