Romain VezirianMarch 29, 2015Amazing atmosphere - subpar croissants (take it from a French guy). If you want to stay for a coffee, this is a great place. If you want to grab food to go, there are better spots.
Probably the best place to eat alone without feeling self-conscious. Comfy, cozy, classy. Can get busy during the lunch rush, but have never had a problem finding a seat.
Sandra CifoMarch 19, 2017Their French toast its ridiculously good, enough for two . And so is their Tortilla español. If you like tortilla de patata you'll like this one. So close to being perfectly like one from Spain
There are far too few Cafe du Soleils! This neighborhood gem covers everything life needs in a cafe, a place where you feel just as welcome eating alone as getting a glass of wine with an old friend.- Sandra CifoMarch 19, 2017Tortilla español. If you like tortilla de patata you'll like this one. So close to being perfectly like one from Spain. Cheap! And enough to share with at least two people
Ugur KanerFebruary 23, 2015Work on your tan, and your next big article. In your favorite order. Free wifi. Calm and inspiring atmosphere. Good food, organic coffee. Try Hummus sandwich.
The Trout salad is boss. A tower of leaning trout and avocado strips laying around a cluster of tossed greens, textured with pecans and apple slices. Strrrrong.
Friendly, family-run neighborhood spot with live, local music. Great place to hangout - especially the cafe tables on Waller.
French hot snacks, wine, beer, coffee, tea. I get a hot drink and a macaron and enjoy Sunday afternoons working on projects here.
YulongJuly 23, 2017Latte is great but house brew isn't. Also no pour over. Lots seats both indoor and outdoor.
Great coffee, decent food, awesome atmosphere. Perfect place to work on a sunny day.- Anna Dia AdrianiNovember 7, 2017Great coffee and a perfect quiet little place for brunch. Both the homemade granola and French toast are delicious.
Ian WalterMay 10, 2015Free wifi. Good place to do work and have a bite to eat outside on a sunny day.
Brad LeegeOctober 20, 2015Classic French cafe. Nutella available at the condiment bar proves the quality of this place.
Great, mellow local coffee shop. Tasty espresso and food, free wifi (LeCafeDuSoleilGuest, pw: cafedusoleil1)
Andrew ZFebruary 5, 2016European atmosphere, tasty sandwiches and excellent coffee. A popular spot to sit and work during the day.
Charming and cozy neighborhood gem with outdoor seating. Baristas are incredibly friendly. Huge portions.
Lindsay EyinkDecember 19, 2014Nice chill spot that is like. European cafe - food, beer/wine, and coffee. Chill with a book for a while.
The French toast is immaculate, unlinked any you've had before, and definitely the best food item on the menu for my money
My morning routine is to get a chocolate croissant and their’s is actually legit!
Live music on Wednesdays! Nice staff. Fair warning: they close when they want.
Jonathan ChinchillaApril 19, 2013Just found out the same owner who owned LaBoulange owns this one! HAZELNUT CHOCOLATE CROISSANT is off the chain!!!
J TAugust 17, 2018Best place for a meeting and conversation. Come here in the evenings for some live music.
RachelJuly 19, 2017Timeless, simple-but-good kind of place. Love the outdoor seating and salmon open-face.
Wifi is kinda crappy, but the coffee is tasty, the atmosphere is cozy, and the neighbourhood is just lovely.
Chez StockJune 30, 2012great coffee but they offer single shot by default which is weird. ham and cheese croissant was amazing.
Cute, cozy, rustic French. Fruit tarts are lovely. Good place to relax and get work done.
Darshy NAugust 11, 2011The fantastic french toast is well, fantastic! It's custard based topped with fresh fruit and syrup. Get some! Now!
When the soup of the day is French onion, you must get it. Full stop.
Brendan CurranAugust 7, 2014Great outdoor seating. Decent French style food. Nice neighborhood spot.
French toast is great here. It's very eggy almost like a custard.
HaighterationNovember 21, 2010Café du Soleil always has a soup of the day, often not advertised, so ask about it. Their lemonade is homemade & tasty. -Lynn F.
cafe du soleil, dans le soleil... cafe au laits in giant bowls, the best pan au chocolats outside France, a baguette and a bottle of wine! this place is magique.... the sun always shines here!
Soup of the day is usually delicious, especially the French Onion soup
Soliel's my favorite coffee spot in town - we had our engagement party here - everything on the menu is really good- HaighterationNovember 21, 2010Good for cheese plates and wine, just beware the laptop table-hoggers when you want to get your wine time going on a Sunday night. -Josh K.
Jo TongJanuary 23, 2011Try the tortilla espanol (egg/potato "omelette", salad, & bacon), only on sat + Sunday's. Delicious!
