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.
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!!

The best café experience l've had in Montreal🌟
From the incredible coffee & fresh, flavorful food to the cozy atmosphere & super friendly staff, highly recommended
We usually explore new places when we're on vacation, but we liked the food & atmosphere so much that we came back to try the things we didn't have room for the first day. Very kid friendly, not overcrowded, & a great playlist. The macha latte was beautious. I'd normally order a grilled cheese for the kids, but theirs looked so good with the focaccia bread & tomatoes I had to have it myself. The Salmon Avacdo Feta also highly recommended. We came because of the NY Times 36 Hours in Montreal article, & the suggestion did not disappoint!

I had been wanting to try this place for a little while & I was not disappointed. the place looks soo pretty it could be a movie set & the food was amazing! the service was a little slow for your usual cafe but overall I had a great experience. definitely recommend!
J'ai récemment visité le SoLIT Café & j'ai été agréablement surpris. L'endroit est propre & l'ambiance est très agréable, idéale pour passer un bon moment. J'ai particulièrement apprécié l'option végétarienne que j'ai choisie. Le service était satisfaisant & le personnel amical. Cependant, j'ai trouvé les prix un peu élevés par rapport à d'autres cafés similaires. Malgré cela, je recommande SoLIT Café à ceux qui cherchent un endroit confortable & accueillant pour savourer un bon repas ou simplement boire un café.
We loved the beautiful decor & vibe of this cafe! Our unsweetened hot chocolates was delicious & the waitress was so friendly & recommended chocolate croissants!
I can confidently say that the best coffee I've had in Montreal was at this café. The café had a wonderful ambiance, with cozy seating & a welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly & knowledgeable about their coffee offerings. What truly impressed me, however, was the quality of their coffee. The beans were clearly carefully sourced & expertly roasted, resulting in a rich, flavorful cup of coffee that surpassed my expectations. If you're a coffee lover visiting Montreal, this café is a must-visit for an exceptional coffee experience. I highly recommend it
