Review Summary

Reviews describe SoLIT Café as a visually striking, cozy space with an orange vine ceiling and vibrant decor that feels warm and calming, a place where many visit for coffee, pastries, and relaxed conversation, sometimes with a terrace adding to the appeal. The atmosphere is frequently a highlight, though a few find the lighting dim and the music a bit loud. The service story is mixed: some praise polite, friendly staff and attentive table service, while others note a QR code menu and counter ordering that reduce interaction and can make the experience feel less personal. Food and drink are generally well received for quality and freshness, with standout coffees and pastries and tasty breakfast options, though several reviewers call prices premium or meals not exceptional and a few dishes disappointing. For work or study, the space is not ideal due to limited outlets and a no laptop policy, but for a relaxing visit it is often described as charming and worth returning for the ambiance and coffee.

I really loved the salmon, avocado, & feta sandwich, as well as the freshly squeezed orange juice. The staff were very attentive & provided top-notch service. To top it off, I ordered a latte to go & can confidently say it was one of the best lattes I've ever had in my life.

Bon, mais pas tant d'option qui ne sont pas à plus de 20$. Un peu cher pour un café. Par contre, c'est très bien décoré!

Suivant les commentaires, je m'y suis rendu pour un moment entre filles.
Nous avons attendu plus de 25min pour un smoothie, un café & un bagel fromage.

Au moment de recevoir la commande, nous avons eu que le café.

Le smoothie aux bananes était très aigre, je suppose que les bananes étaient très vertes. Les gros glaçons m'empêchait de le boire correctement.
Le bagel fut une demi-baguette avec du fromage à tartiner, de la confiture & du beurre de peanut. Un mélange pas très attendu.

La décoration est sympathique, la musique trop forte retire le charme de la place.
La salle de bain n'est vraiment pas propre du tout.

Le personnel était gentil.

Nous ne retiendrons pas cette adresse pour le futur. Bien dommage.

Perfection in this'go to' central meeting spot! 4 people mentioned this café to me before I first came. Food, drinks & service are sublime. Sunny & orange arbor decor makes it feel like an outdoor terrace (even as it snows outside). The staff helped me choose from the menu & are very welcoming & efficient. In fact, it was so good that I recommended it for a friend's private birthday party. It's now a regular spot for me & my entrepreneur network.

Drinks are very disappointing, what shocked me most is that they don't bring your order to the table & yet minimum tip is 18%....for what service? when clients have to bring their own drink to the table, THERE IS NO SERVICE THEREFORE NO TIP SHOULD BE REQUIRED! Also, music is awfully loud for nothing, no one can talk or hear each othe

Breakfast for two cost us $80CAD (all-in, with tip). We each ordered one dish & the $8CAD salad/fruit+coffee add-on. For this price, I expected a premium experience, but we got an average experience. We found a QR code at our table instead of a physical menu. After reading the menu on our phones (with all the scroll/zoom limitations of a bad mobile menu), we had to get up & order at the counter. The people working the counter were amazing. I rated two stars for service simply because the QR-code menu & counter-ordering meant there wasn't much service (they did bring our food to the table & bussed our table), but the people working here were stellar; we found no fault in them & they were the shining stars of this experience.

The ceiling has an Instagrammable, overcrowded orange-grove motif. Nothing else is as pretty. The tables are a mishmash of round metal/glass & wood. The restaurant isn't well-lit & there's cheap plastic décor thrown about. The round tables have doily-style tablecloths that your grandmother would be proud of--were she a French nun. These are covered with a big, glass disc. When our food arrived, it was placed on this glass, where the ceramic dishes spun freely as I tried to cut my bagel. This was not designed with thought.

The food is good. We didn't think it was amazing & it didn't make up for the experience. It was just good. 4 stars; above average.

I was annoyed because we had spent $80 on QR-code menus & awkward dining. It was at this time that I noticed the wall in the background that is covered with gold-colored, plastic decor & photos of the owner & family & their various awards. & right as I noticed this, the background music stopped & whatever radio service they use started playing ads. It all felt fake & cheap.

I found this to be a very average mall-style experience with a premium price. The food was decent, but I would much rather spend 85% for a 200% better experience a block over at the Pigeon Café (literally, we spent $68 at Pigeon for 2 full breakfast dishes, coffee, table service, & two more coffees to go vs. $80 at So LIT).

Une expérience globale, sympa, mais malgré tout un peu déçue.

Le SoLIT Café est un espace chaleureux & d'atmosphère calme.

Le café est de qualité supérieure. Néanmoins toutes les autres boissons proposées à la carte sont vraiment classiques & standard & pourtant le prix est excessif. Le matcha est à sept dollars, c'était bon mais pas exceptionnel. Les pâtisseries sont bonnes mais rien d'exceptionnel là encore. & pourtant elles sont assez chère.

Certaines choses propos sur la carte n'étaient pas disponibles lorsque j'y allée.

Je pense que c'est un café qui est sympathique, mais les prix sont un peu trop élevés.

Went there lately hoping for a third wave coffee but turns out it's not, it's some sort of restaurant/coffee shop with overpriced menu. The coffee & pastries are good tasting, but almost 10$ for a regular oat latte, a pumpkin spice latte that tasted artificial & more than 10$ for orange juice makes no sense when compared to other coffee shops in the region that offer same quality coffee. The atmosphere was nice & cozy, staff were kind, but service was slow & the music was loud so it was kinda hard to work there.

Ham & cheese sandwich was disgusting. I got a coffee & sandwich & it came up to $30 which is absurd.
