Les avis sur SoLIT Café évoquent globalement un endroit chaleureux et esthétiquement travaillé, avec un café de qualité et des plats frais et savoureux, des boissons allant du latte au pumpkin spice latte et des pâtisseries ou sandwiches comme saumon-avocat-feta, le tout dans une ambiance cosy dominée par des vignes oranges au plafond et un décor rappelant un jardin d'orangers; le service est généralement attentif et sympathique, l'endroit est perçu comme idéal pour se réunir entre amis, travailler quelques heures ou profiter de la terrasse, et l'atmosphère est souvent décrite comme agréable; toutefois certains trouvent le rapport qualité-prix élevé et estiment l'expérience parfois standard ou inégale, regrettant des plats qui ne répondent pas toujours aux attentes, des éléments de carte indisponibles, l'usage d'un menu en QR code et l'absence de prises pour ordinateurs portables, ou un bruit qui peut gêner; malgré ces réserves, SoLIT Café est souvent vu comme un petit trésor caché, séduisant par son ambiance et la fraîcheur de ses aliments et par le soin apporté à la décoration, ce qui en fait une adresse fréquemment recommandée pour ceux qui aiment les cafés bien conçus et les lieux esthétiques.
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. $80 at So LIT).
Went there lately hoping for a third wave coffee but turns out it's not, it's some sort of restaurant/coffee shop with overpriced menu. The coffee & pastries are good tasting, but almost 10$ 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.

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 interior is very nicely decorated & feels very cozy. There is also a great terrace outside. I was served in a friendly & polite manner. My carrot cake tasted really good. The coffee was average.
