Crema's Take

Sola Coffee Cafe is a welcoming neighborhood spot in Raleigh where thoughtful coffee meets a surprisingly robust menu of fresh breakfasts and lunch sandwiches, all delivered to your table in a beautifully designed space with generous indoor and outdoor seating. The staff consistently earns praise for their kindness, and the specialty drinks—from expertly pulled espresso to delicate blue jasmine tea—pair perfectly with their standout items like creamy avocado toast on gluten-free bread and herb-forward sandwiches. It's the kind of place where you can linger for hours whether you're meeting a friend or settling in solo, surrounded by the kind of unhurried, genuine hospitality that keeps people coming back.

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Great little cafe! Indoor and outdoor seating, it’s a walk up to the counter to order place, but they deliver food to your table. I had the Chicken +Pesto sandwich with multi grain chips. It was very tasty!
