Overall, SoLIT Café comes across as a cozy, design-forward space with orange vine ceilings and a calm, welcoming vibe that makes it feel like an inviting garden oasis, even on cold days. The coffee earns frequent praise for being rich and well made, with lattes, cappuccinos, and seasonal drinks drawing strong notes from guests, while the food is commonly described as fresh, flavorful, and well prepared, with sandwiches, bowls, focaccia, pastries, and light bites cited as standouts. Prices are often described as premium, with some reviewers feeling value doesn't always match the cost, and a few dishes or menu items receive mixed marks. Service is typically described as friendly, attentive, and efficient, with staff guiding guests through the menu and sometimes bringing items to the table, though some readers mention a counter-order flow and a no-laptop policy that can limit work or study. The ambiance, decor, and terrace are repeatedly highlighted as strengths, and many reviews call SoLIT Café a hidden gem and a great place to meet friends or unwind, even if a small number note occasional inconsistencies in menu availability and portions.
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
Cafe Solit is a cute gem amongst the city. It has indoor & outdoor seating. You place your order at the counter & then find a table, they come serve you. We loved that they had a policy for no laptops/ipads, which prevents people from lingering unnecessarily. The menu had a variety of brunchy-lunchy options with a lots of drink options too. We ordered the grilled cheese sandwich & the avocado hummus sandwich. Both were served on chewy focaccia bread & both were open sandwiches. For something so simple both were flavorful…likely because of simple, fresh ingredients.
The vibe is interesting. The ceiling is covered with orange vines, giving it a very orange farm vibe. Bright colors accenting the orange, including teal, lavender & yellow. The ambience outside is also nice & relaxing.
Drinks are pretty nice, but I didn't eat anything that was particularly good - not bad either, I just don't think it's worth the price. The space is beautiful, definitely the highlight of the cafe! The staff are also very polite & kind 😊
Be mindful that they don't really allow computers, so it's not a good place to work or study.
The place is beautiful, cool music & perfect spot to work for a couple of hours. Great variety of drinks & food menu ✨? (More power outlets would be useful)
The ambience is totally breathTaking. I went there during christmas times so it was lighted up & decorated even more. We have tried their special winter drinks & mocha & they were amazing. The staff was welcoming & friendly.
Drinks are expensive (food probably too) & not that good. No laptops allowed either. I liked the atmosphere & ambiance with many lights & orange decorations.
