The atmosphere was quite nice though everything else was substandard at best

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.

Delicious food in a unique & beautiful place owned by an amazing woman with smiling & welcoming employees.
J'ai célébré mon mariage au solit café ; le menu, l'ambiance & la disponibilité de Mary pendant les préparatifs...tout était parfait & au delà de nos attentes.
Forever our favourite place !
Thank you so much Mary & your super staff !

Lovely atmosphere & a nice respite from the hustle & bustle. I enjoyed my latte & bagel that they source from St. Viater.
