Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"I had a great experience at Sol Cafe. Everything was fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere was lovely. A special thank you to Saba — her service was excellent. She was attentive, kind, and made us feel very welcome. I’ll definitely be coming back!"
"Cafe Sol is a fantastic spot! We visited on a Saturday night for a birthday party, and the experience was top-notch. They accommodated our group of 12-15 people with a great booth and provided excellent bottle service. The ladies serving us were incredibly nice, and the service was quick. Now coming to the only reason I deduct 1 star of the review: for the whole night, we were drinking and eating together at the table and I didn’t notice how they distributed the bill at last but at one point I went to the bar for a single shot of gray goose and got the machine with the amount on it but didn’t request the tip. It was very busy and I didn’t ask. $14.79 for a single shot of goose. I do believe they add their 18% to the tab. I do understand their perspective and side of view but some ppl may want to tip you more than that 18%. The DJ was live, keeping the energy up all night. The vibe is great, with a dark and inviting atmosphere. It's a Persian-based cafe bar, and the crowd is lively. During the day, it operates as a cafe/restaurant, but at night it transforms into a club-like bar, open until 2:00 AM on weekends (closed Mondays). They offer delicious appetizers like truffle fries, charcuterie boards, and mixed platters. Very good hookah and sides as well. Highly recommend checking it out!"
"Amazing experience at SOL Cafe & Lounge! Absolutely loved this place. The atmosphere is beautiful, clean, and very welcoming — perfect for relaxing or meeting friends. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly presented, and the drinks were top-tier. You can really tell they care about quality and service. The staff were friendly, professional, and made us feel at home from the moment we walked in. Great vibes, great music, and an overall amazing experience. Highly recommend SOL Cafe & Lounge — I’ll definitely be coming back!"
"We had a reservation at the café today, and I just wanted to say how amazing everything was. First of all, thank you so much for being so cooperative during the reservation process. You gave us the best spot, the service was excellent, and the DJ was fantastic. The food was delicious, and we also ordered drinks - everything was perfect. I really appreciated the attention to detail. Even before we arrived, our table was fully prepared. We were a large group, but there were more than enough chairs for everyone. The music was so good that we barely had time to sit - we were dancing most of the night! Thank you so much to your wonderful team for making our experience so special."
"Last night I stopped by Cafe Sol with a friend. We ordered the lamb chops and the Caesar salad, and both were fantastic. Tea and cake that the cake was just okay ! The service was great . Our beautiful green eyed server was friendly and helpful, making sure we were well taken care of. We had a really nice experience, and I’d definitely recommend checking it out."
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As the resident DJ at Sol Cafe & Lounge, I’ve had the privilege of watching this place come alive night after night — and honestly, it’s one of the best vibes in the city. The energy here is different — elegant but comfortable, classy but still full of soul. The staff are some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet, and they take care of every detail — from the perfect cocktail presentation to the lighting that sets just the right mood for each beat I drop. The food is always fresh and creative, and the lounge design mixes modern style with a warm, cozy feel that keeps people coming back. If you haven’t been to Sol yet, you’re missing out on one of Toronto’s best lounge experiences. Whether you come to chill, eat, or dance, this place delivers every single time. – DJ Navid"
