Solid place to get a healthy lunch in the area. I like to get to get the Cobb Salad or Cafe Sol Salad. They also have a great combo choice which includes half sandwich and a smaller salad instead. The paninis are good too. I liked the Cuban. You can order ahead and takeout doesn't take too long. Everything is fresh. read more

We were driving through Grand Junction and were hungry for lunch. We looked at a list of restaurants in Grand Junction and Cafe Sol was one of the top options. We parked and walked over to the restaurant and saw it was crowded so thought it must be a good sign. -$50 for 3 paninis - No drink included in the $14 price for the sandwich Once we did receive our food and begun to eat, my whole party felt gross and I had mayonnaise dripping all over my hands. None of us finished the sandwich let alone half of one. Good food is supposed to make you feel good. This good food made us feel gross. For the price we paid we figured we deserved more than what we were given. Maybe we we're just given a bad batch or something of the sort. But our experience was not as we had hoped and hope that prospective customers can have an informed decision from both good and bad reviews! read more

Not only is the food great but the girl who rang me up recognized an abusive situation and checked in on and looked out for the girl experiencing it. I'm finally out. Thank you. read more

Wow. So disappointing. I promoted this place like crazy when it first opened. It has gone downhill. The prices are ridiculous-the small salad with no meat added used to be $8-now $14. The paninis are kid-sized. Hours silly. Sad. read more

This is a favorite establishment of mine and have had many lunch items and a few breakfast items. Typically get the quiche of the day but it was not yet prepared. I settled on the avocado toast (3) with the side salad (5). Salad is always fresh and very nice vinaigrette. Came with 3-4 pieces of beet, tomato and red onion. Bread was very tough, multigrain, needed a steak knife (which they didn't have) in order to cut pieces. Topped with an egg cooked to order. Definitely will not order again. Friend ordered the breakfast sandwich. Bread was a croissant that was also very tough, overheated (?). Overall, today was not their usual tasty, fresh, unique options. read more

Great food and Atmosphere. Good place to enjoy lunch and visit with friends and not be rushed read more

Difficult to find close-by parking. Music is loud inside, but have outside dining options. Vegan options are limited. The only item available for kids is peanut butter and banana for $7. No flexibility in customizing a meal for kids was accepted. Customer service can improve, especially the blond waitress with the attitude. Food was okay. Toilets are clean. read more

Cafe Sol - Outside dining area - New American Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

We came to the Cafe 10 minutes before closing and were told to go ahead and be seated - and would be served.  We were having a late lunch so we appreciated the great attitude.  All the staff was very positive and friendly.  My wife loved her hearty turkey panini sandwich and my large monument salad was flavorful and perfectly seasoned.  We both took out half of our meals.  We will be back when in town for superb meals and service. read more

If hummus was a person it would work here and be full of mysterious flavors that you weren't sure about. Hard objects that you just chew past because you're too afraid to find out what it actually is. But this is the quality of persons and service in this dusty tired region of the world. I know they really wish they were a hip place in some cute city. But its just bad food and too many pickled things in the middle of a homeless infested turd hang called Grand Junction. Hard pass just go eat an egg at walmart. read more

Went and did a girls lunch with my mom and sisters. Wanted to come here for the salad and sandwich options. I got the turkey panini which was very good and massive. Definitely could have split it. None of us were obsessed with the dressing on the pear salad though. We came towards the end of the lunch rush but there were a couple of tables for us to chose from except only one was clean plus the others didn't get cleaned the whole time we were there. All in all pretty good and will come back. read more

Let's start with positives, the staff is friendly and the food is great, the wait for the food was also fine, now the one major negative is the food although it was good was a bit pricey for what it was I mean I ordered 2 French toasts a coffee and a burrito and it was over 60$ (group brunch). Over all the restaurant is excellent but just a tad to pricey read more

Cafe Sol: sunny in color, in atmosphere, and in flavor. I love getting a hot-pressed sandwich (usually tuna or chicken). They create a great combination of flavors with straightforward ingredients, and I never knew beets could taste so good. This must be why the place is always so packed around lunchtime--everyone else loves Cafe Sol, too. read more

Great food! I went here twice I got a salad both times and a panini. Everything was great!

A weekly go to for my spouse and I. She is mostly vegan and gluten free and Cafe Sol never disappoints. The salads are massive (even the small size), turmeric latte is amazing and breakfast is always filling! read more

One of my favs. Always good chicken guacamole panini is very good. Paired with a salad it is a perfect lunch for my hubby and me.

Great cafe! :) The vibe here is friendly, laid back & the food is fresh! We've eaten here a few times during our stay, plus, its where the locals go. Awesome place! read more

Delicious Unique Large Salads--figs! The add in chicken was small portion but taste good. Superb atmosphere. Nice street to take a walk after you eat. Kind of pricey. Friendly service, but slowww food delivery at lunch time. Free tasty waters. Smoothy was OK, not sure that I would get it again. Parking on the street in front is a Pain in the A, but free. I would definitely come back for the salad--wish that there was a Cafe Sol in my area. read more

Cafe Sol - Cobb salad and root veggie stew. Yum! - New American Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

This place has bomb food and is definitely worth a stop if you are looking for veg and/or healthy options. They have coffee, smoothies, alcoholic (beer and wine) and non-alcoholic beverages. They also have baked goods! Just be sure you don't drop by on a day that they are closed or too late in the evening as they close by 3pm. My favorite lunch spot in Junction read more

I will first say that the food was great! Tasted awesome. I would have given 4 stars... but our to go order was missing 2 sides of chips and our impossible burger had cheese on it when we ordered without cheese. A pretty big inconvenience when you're vegan. The black bean burger was awesome, had great flavor. The quinoa tabouleh was very good also! Will go back-- but will definitely check our orders next time. read more

Cafe Sol - Black Bean Burger - New American Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

Incredibly disappointing experience at Café Sol. My friend and I ordered two salads, the Café Sol salad, and the Strawberry salad. When I got the strawberry salad the first thing I noticed was raw jalapeño slices on top of the salad and all of the arugula was wilted and yellow. I returned the salad to the front and requested to get the beet salad instead. They brought it out, and again incredibly disappointed. The spring greens were all wilted and slimy. The beets were obviously from a can/jar and looked like they're seen better days. They had a grey hue and smelled a bit spoiled. We left disgusted and hoped to not get sick from the experience. For a cafe that has 40% of its menu dedicated to salads you'd think they're take more pride in what they serve. Absolutely would not recommend and will never come here again. read more

We stopped here on a long road trip and it was a delicious break from gas station food. Good vibes and the staff were super friendly. I got the beet salad which was so yummy (coming from someone who usually doesn't order salads). Thanks guys! read more

Cafe Sol - Beet Salad - New American Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

One of the BEST places to eat healthy in GJ!!! We just had lunch there and the kale salad was bigger than huge!! It was the amount of salad that a human is supposed to eat everyday! Yay for Cafe Sol!!! It's also a very hip place with excellent music that keeps on playing Most restaurants do not have the concept of what music does for their customers but Cafe Sol gets it! They get everything right . read more

Cafe Sol - Kale salad with Butternut squash, dates, goat cheese and walnuts!! (Winter fell Salad) - New American Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

The food might have been okay if it wasn't cold, but I can't say... because it was. I ordered on their website for pickup (paid online) arrived a couple of minutes before my pickup time but noticed my order on a side counter. I asked 2 employees if I had to wait in line to get my order and they both said yes. This is already silly. If I wanted to wait in the always long, slow line, why bother ordering online? After waiting for 10 minutes, a woman comes in, stops one of the same employees, and asks if she has to wait in line to get her carryout order. The same employee opened the second register to get the woman her order and take her payment, seemingly not recognizing its inconsiderate to do so with me still waiting in line. I ate here weekly for most of 2019 - the line has always been slow but the customer service used to be sooooo friendly. Now the food and customer service have suffered. I get inflation and having to cut corners, but it costs nothing to be decent to people. I don't think I'll be back. read more

A very cool and friendly place with some fantastic plant based options and great service and very high quality food and fair prices I will be coming back to this place and bringing more people read more

The breakfast selections are limited and overpriced for what you get. The food itself is good with the sausage being great. But your portion sizes are about 4/5ths the size at a regular Resturant. I think the main reason this place is popular is that I sits downtown Grand Junction. If you don't mind the prices and smaller portions this place is for you. Me? I only ca came here because my wife wanted to eat here. read more

First time eating here. Ordered combo of half-Rueben Panini w Sol Salad and a cup of chicken tortilla soup. Also had one drink: Cabucha. Came to $30.00 the combo was $15, don't know prices of the cup of soup or cabucha, but the total was $30 so somewhere around $15.00 for a cup of soup and a drink. Didn't get offered a receipt? Busy, pleasant atmosphere. Soup and salad were great, wouldn't order the Rueben again. We will go back to try other items, and will ask for a receipt. read more

My husband and I took a mini-vacation from Las Vegas to Grand Junction, CO recently. We at at Cafe Sol nearly everyday while we were in town. This little cafe is located in what I would call their "old town" or historic area downtown. I was very surprised to find out there were NOT a lot of places to eat in this part of town. There was a bagel & coffee cafe and they were closed on Sunday's. There's also a place where you can buy sandwiches "to go" and eat them at a table on the street and then a very high end steakhouse. So, Cafe Sol was a blessing. The place is very simple. You order at the counter and sit down, and someone will bring your food to you. We came here mostly for lunch and one time for breakfast. The prices are pretty much what you would expect in a "coffee house" type of eatery. One day I ordered the quiche special which came with a salad, ordered the lamb chili for my husband plus a side salad. I also ordered a large latte for me and small tumeric latte for my husband. Plus, a Snickerdoodle cookie to share. The total came to just under $38. The price was more than McDonald's, but it was hardly "outrageous." The salads tasted delicious. The greens were very fresh; nothing was wilted or brown. The salad dressing was a savory balsamic. There was no sweetness, which was great. Many vinaigrettes taste like they have sugar added, this version was yummy and NOT sweet. The quiche was light and fluffy. Hubby's lamb chili was served in a decent sized bowl for the "small" portion and his side salad was the same as mine. He LOVED the tumeric latte...This is why we went everyday while in town. The coffee was very smooth and the tumeric latte had agave and I'm pretty sure cinnamon. It had a very unique flavor. I have no complaints about this establishment and it was a welcomed change of pace from chain places like Denny's or other well know coffee houses. read more

I LOVE Cafe Sol. They're mushroom soup (any of them) are a much rich, darker flavor than I was expecting, but that only made me love it more! Their sandwiches and salads? SOOO GOOD. Their service is fast and their prices are fair for the quality of food you are getting. Very farm-to-table fresh. read more

Very cute restaurant in downtown!! The customer service was awesome and the restaurant was amazing with different allergies and restrictions. Would definitely come again! read more

Cafe Sol - sourdough french toast, hummus board, and Breakfast Salads - New American Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

Currently, I am on a road trip across the United States and have been keen on trying some of the best food across the country. Being on the road, I want to make sure I eat a little healthier and get all the nutrients and vitamins I need to stay active! This is just the place for that. Be prepared to shell out a little extra money, a smoothie, sandwich and salad cost me $23! However, I'm taking literally half of it along with me so it basically pays itself off as two meals. In addition to that, all of the ingredients they use at Cafe Sol are high quality and you can taste it in the food. I'd definitely recommend! It is a solid 4/5! read more

Cafe Sol - Grilled chicken panini and cafe sol Salad - New American Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

We've eaten here a couple times. Always quite good. We enjoyed both quiches today. The beef ?enchilada Soup was good. We would skip the artichoke veggie next time. Kids enjoyed their PB and banana sandwiches and chips. A Few tables available to sit outside when the weather is right. read more

Salads are HUGE. Loved the crunch salad, and the chickpeas. Would eat here all the time if I lived in the area.

Great place for gluten free and dairy free. The staff is educated, kind, and patient. Order at a counter and sit. Amazing!

This is my happy place! Salads are HUGE, filled with fresh greens and all kinds of goodness. I ordered the Cafe Sol with apples and banana bread croutons (genius!). B ordered one with kale, quinoa, and the perfectly ripe/amazingly sweet peaches. These prices make this place a killer deal- no wonder the place was busy on a Sunday afternoon. I would definitely go back and hope the owners decide to move to my hometown to open another location. read more

When men head out into the wilderness, their motors don't keep running on sweet-smelling flowers and cuddly bunnies. Men need sustainment in order to operate. We need The Club from Cafe Sol. This is no wimpy club sandwich. They pile on thick-cut turkey breast, mayo, crispy bacon and mound of melted provolone onto a sub sandwich, then panini press it to perfection. The sandwich is heavy handed, and it fills you up like you just ate a cinder block... a delicious cinder block. Once consumed, I was fueled up and free to go on about my manly day, which included axe wielding, flannel wearing, mountain climbing and creating boards for "Cute Boots" on my Pinterest page. I managed to find a pair of Sorrels that were just adorbs. read more

Omg. If you are in town, you NEED to come here. I was road tripping and feeling like having something healthy so we came to Cafe Sol. I am not typically a salad person but I was blown away! I got the kale salad, and it was so filling and delicious. My partner got a panini and was also blown away by it. You will not be disappointed if you eat here! read more

I did like the breakfast burritos. Have not tried anything else. But what I have tried was good

Great place! So flavorful and healthy! Had turkey panini gluten free, roasted pepper soup and HUGE salad!
