Lovely little cafe with great coffee. The only thing holding it back is the music, which is too loud for conversation. Staff mentioned only the owner controls the volume. A small tweak would make this a perfect spot to sit & chat.

Found this cute Café! It has a beautiful ambiance & super friendly staff. I really enjoyed my coffee & sandwich-definitely worth a visit.

I found this place on an coffee shop website & I had high expectations about it but the coffee was mid & the staff ( tall woman) was super rude to me. Disappointed

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.

Ham & cheese sandwich was disgusting. I got a coffee & sandwich & it came up to $30 which is absurd.
