Review Summary

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.

The staff are so friendly & polite. Brought my food to the table, & boxed it up for me to take it home.
I've had a latte, flat white, & pumpkin spice latte. All of them were SOOOO GOOD, especially the pumpkin spice latte that came in a cute mug!!!
However, they say it's a cafe but it's more so a restaurant. Not very many outlets to plug in my ipad/phone. There are « No Laptop » areas. & the music is a little loud so if that's something that bothers you… i wouldn't recommend studying here.
Also, I got a vegetarian rice bowl & was extremely disappointed. It was EXTREMELY dry with very little sauce. For the price point (about $30 after i added chicken), I expected better.
I gotta admit, it's a VERY cute place to go with a friend to grab a coffee, but that's all i would do here unfortunately. I'll be back to get my pumpkin spice latte though!!

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.

Beautiful cafe. Nice decor & had the guac toast with egg & feta. Nicely done with the choice of different breads to choose from. Love the fact that it's a no laptop/tablet restaurant.

Drinks are expensive (food probably too) & not that good. No laptops allowed either. I liked the atmosphere & ambiance with many lights & orange decorations.

Amazing design & atmosphere + tasty coffee. I wonder what's the reason for "no laptops" rule

It was not the best latte, but not bad. The chamomile tea was so good & fresh. The cafe is so beautiful & quiet & the staff were very nice. BTW, you are not welcome with your laptop, that was a bit weird to me that you can't work with your laptop in the cafe. :)

On a aimé le décor, l ambiance, la petite terrasse sera très cosy quand il fera un temps stable. Le personnel est souriant & serviable, & la règle de ne pas rester avec les laptop laisse un peu de place à ceux qui comme nous, sont venus pour prendre un café & non pas travailler des heures ici 🙃 P.s.: si vous voulez déguster le beignet glacé fruit de passion, il faut être sur place le matin, ou bien que le café en fasse d'avantage, à 12.30 il n'y en a plus
