Pair Charcuterie

This is a super cute Cafe with great food and fresh ingredients. I love that they also have pork alternatives. I come in often and ask for almond milk in my Latte but they have oat milk and I'm here for it! I love the assortment of pastries, coffees, and sandwiches. It's a nice lunch spot that will keep you full without making you feel heavy. Their fruit-cuterie cups are perfect for breakfast and the crossiant sandwiches are great for lunch. This is something that we were missing downtown.

I walked past Pair and decided to stop in to check it out. I had read about it online prior to visiting and I understood it to be a charcuterie spot that also served coffee/tea. When I came in, it definitely felt more like a coffee shop, which is fine. I didn't see any charcuterie plates, but they did have a cooler with grab and go drinks and parfaits, deviled eggs, and sandwiches. I ordered an iced chai latte and the barista indicated that he didn't have the proper strainer to make the chai. He said he could make me an iced matcha latte instead. I agreed that would be fine. While making the drink, the barista asked if I would like regular or oat milk. I didn't see milk options on their menu so I was pleasantly surprised that they had oat milk. So I chose oat milk. Both the chai latte and matcha lattes are listed as $5 (I didn't know this until I looked at the menu again after I left) on the menu, so I was surprised that my total was almost $8. That's at least a $2 up charge for oat milk, which I was not told about prior. I didn't try my matcha latte until I got back to my office, but at first glance, it did not look like a matcha latte. There was no signature green color. When I finally tried it, it tasted like coffee with a little cream in it. That's also what it looked like too. I think this spot has potential but it needs to work out the kinks.

Pair Charcuterie is my favorite downtown lunch spot.... they also have breakfast sandwiches and to go options. These women insure the quality of the food is top notch. i just had a ham sandwich, reasonably priced with wonderful ham and a creamy tasty cheese you never see at this price point. They cater, have all kinds of lovely desserts, but the best part is the friendly atmosphere. I eat in just to take in the wonderful community- spirit vibes.I highly recommend them: located at Smithfield and the Blvd. Come on down and support this small business!!

I ordered a meat and cheese board from Pair for an event at my boutique and it was a work of art! Everyone raved about the beauty and taste of the selected meats and cheeses. Highly recommend for your catering needs!

Such friendly customer service and the coffee here is ABSOLUTELY incredible! Found my new coffee spot!

A little overpriced, even for downtown, for average food. Coffee options are lacking. However, a nice addition to what's become a blighted part of downtown.
