Came here for a quick breakfast and the place was wonderfully full of patrons. The laid back atmosphere.

Sweet little sandwich spot right on Main St. From the moment you come up the sidewalk and see the well cared for flower beds and tasteful table arrangements you know you're in a place that takes pride and care. The menu offers a ton of choices to please all palates and many dietary restrictions or choices. The mango/ lemonade ice tea was cold and perfectly refreshing on a hot summer day. The staff were patient and helpful and had wonderfully positive attitudes. It seemed that they were eager and ready to help their guests. Food was delicious. This is a must visit for lunch/breakfast in Niantic. read more

Ok. I'm giving this place four stars with a caveat. A friend and I went for lunch today, and I got The Bleu, which was yummy, but my friend got The Hoagie and was a little disappointed with the meat to bread ratio. Also, they were out of the chips that they normally give with their lunches, and instead of telling me to choose a bag from their selection of Deep River chips a courtesy to make up for the lack of chips, I had to pay for a bag. It just didn't seem customer-friendly. The garden seating is cute, but I'm not sure I'd return. read more

Sandwiches and coffees were delicious. The staff was friendly and went out of their way to accommodate dietary restrictions. Great location right in the center of town near the beach. Would definitely recommend this place! read more

Food is ok but I left with a bitter taste in my mouth after the enormous attitude I received from one of the staff. After waiting 45 min for my take out order (2salads and sandwich) I received my food with no explanation or apology that a mistake had been made, causing the delay. I'm a patient person but the customer service was horrible. read more

Great coffee and many other fun beverages. Impressive breakfast and lunch choices. I alway choose the avocado toast. Hits the spot and can be easily shared. Inside or outside seating. Friendly staff. If you are looking for a relaxing place to meet a friend and not feel rushed, this is the place!! read more

Excellent all the way around. Great menu. Cute little cafe. Affordable. Highly recommend.

Great menu. All of their food is so fresh. Beautiful little spot to eat outdoors in spring/summer.

Adorably quaint cafe with fresh, delicious recipes in the heart of Niantic! The staff is lovely and so helpful with making recommendations, try their iced chai latte with cinnamon on top next time you're there! read more

Staff is super friendly and the coffee is great. Love their breakfast sandwiches but don't love the breakfast sauce that comes on them. I always opt out of it. read more

All the food is banging! Coffee is even better i don't go here in the summer because of the tourists/summertime black point buttheads.

This place is great, the staff is amazing and the food is made with love. A great place to play Pokémon Go too. I love the artwork and I love it when they decorate for Halloween and Christmas. read more

Cafe sol is a solid lunch spot in beautiful downtown Niantic. I particularly like to eat here during the summer since there is a lovely patio outside. All of the food here is fresh made and healthy so you can feel good about your meal. They also try to source from local sites and strive to offer as many organic components as possible. In addition to the food they also make really good coffee based drinks and chai. The service is typically pretty quick unless they are slamming busy but that is to be expected. The last time I ate here I had the blue sandwich which had turkey, prosciutto, fig jam and a blue cheese crema. It was the perfect combo of savory and sweet and was fresh tasting and not too heavy. Definitely check this spot out for lunch if you find yourself in the area. read more

This morning we had breakfast at Cafe Sol. We entered the restaurant through a lovely patio area (where you can also eat). We were greeted warmly by the proprietor, Tabitha, and while waiting for our order we noticed how many of her guests she knew by name. The restaurant was clean, efficient, and had a nice variety of breakfast and lunch items. Clearly quality ingredients matter here. Everything was delicious! This is a must-visit whenever I'm in the area. read more

Cafe Sol - This egg and vegetable dish was a variation of "The Harvester" (no wrap). YUM!! - Cafes Near Me - Niantic, Connecticut

A shabby chic delight on Main Street that's both super cozy and sweetly quirky. The coffee is great, and the chai tea latte is charmingly decorated. Menu favorites are the Spicy Cho (egg, chorizo, cheese, with a hot buffalo mustard!), Tabi's Toast (pic-worthy avo toast) or The Works (NYC bagel and lox), which are generously made. Trueben is also great for lunch. You can't go wrong here, whether you're grabbing coffee to go or waiting out a little snow. It's a must-stop for us whenever we're in town. read more

Cafe Sol - Chai Tea Latte - Cafes Near Me - Niantic, Connecticut

Great sandwiches with fresh ingredients. They also have an awesome outdoor patio to enjoy your lunch during warmers months. I always order their Trueben sandwich was is definitely a favorite of mine. The bread is pretty amazing & I love their unique twist on a simple sandwich. I also got to finish my wife's BLT with advocado & it was pretty tasty. When I'm in the area I make a point to stop by for lunch. It's kid friendly & they serve breakfast too. Bonus points for playing WEHM on the radio the last time I was in! read more

favorite lunch spot, love to get the half sandwich half soup- had the split pea last time and will definitely get again

Great drinks and sandwiches in a place with a very modern vibe. Art adorns the walls and there is free WiFi. Came here with my DD to let her do some schoolwork and enjoy the coffee shop experience. Parking is best in the public parking area for the Main Street area then it's a short walk to the cafe. I had the Cuban and DD had the BLAT. All freshly made and very good. read more

I love the atmosphere of this cute little cafe. I came here after a drill weekend at Camp Niantic and I know I will be back. When you walk in, you are greeted by the friendly staff and a big display of the menu. The girl who was working at the time helped me pick my order. The food was delicious and the prices were reasonable. I had the vegetarian sandwich and although it was good, the veggies were drenched in too much sauce. I would still definetly recommend this place! read more

Cafe Sol - Vegetarian sandwich with added black bean burger. - Cafes Near Me - Niantic, Connecticut

Waited forever for a bacon egg and cheese on a roll. When I got it I wasn't impressed- mainly with the roll, it was dry and flavorless. They do give you a tiny fruit cup which was neat, but made me feel guilty because of the extra packaging. Not a fan of all the wrappers and plastic involved. It feels like this place is about being seen in town and running into people you know rather than good food. Call in your order if you want to leave in less than 10min, it seems like a lot of people did. Love their outdoor space, beautiful garden. read more

wonderful place, love all the local art on the walls decorative and available for purchase. We met here as a woman's group for mothers day, the staff were more than helpful and patient as we tried to decide what we wanted and asked many questions, coffee and food were delicious and priced well. love the GF options also. very quiet and friendly environment, not once did we feel that we had overstayed our welcome. i would recommend this place for couples, families, and small groups for sure. their is more than enough room inside and on nice days outside also. will be back again soon for sure, I am glad i found you on google, and suggested we try it. thank you Cafe Sol for a wonderful experience today!!! read more

Cafe Sol is a lunch favorite of mine. Everything is fresh delicious and made to order.

I like what they're doing as far as the whole organic, local, healthy thing goes and that's why we chose to go here for breakfast...however, the portion sizes are very small so don't expect to fill up if you're hungry! Husband got the Popeye breakfast sandwich, was little bigger than a cocktail sandwich and for roughly $8, we were expecting a bit more food! We're not huge eaters, but come on. Taste was there, however, half the sandwich was dry of the "breakfast sauce", big sandwich no-no. Service was friendly but food came out slowly, so order ahead if you're taking to go! read more

Love this place, I always bring my friends here for breakfast when they come visit Niantic.

Fantastic variety on their menu for vegetarians and vegans. I had the Triple B, which was a black bean and sweet potato burger with all sorts of goodies in it like roasted peppers and corn served with avocado, hummus, lettuce, yogurt sauce etc on a wrap. It really hit the spot and was incredibly filling. It has some heat to it, but I like that. I honestly can't recall what I ate the last time I was here, but it was years ago, before I was vegetarian. The cafe itself has a lovely indoor seating area as well as a nice outdoor patio on the main drag. Great for people watching on a summer day. I do have to say, and I hope someone from the cafe reads this, the little plastic cups for the fruit are so, so unnecessary. Let's be more environmentally conscious! read more

Great, fresh salads. Lots of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. Lovely outdoor patio with plenty of shade. Recommended!

Been here twice for breakfast and was satisfied both times. Vast menu with unique options and good portions. Fruit cup on the side is a great addition. Awesome location and great place to stop by if you are visiting the boardwalk. read more

Excellent food! Lovely outdoor dining area! Only a short walk to the Niantic Boardwalk and McCook's Point. Street parking is limited to one hour, so try to find alternative parking nearby if you plan to stay awhile and walk around town. read more

Cafe Sol - Smoked Salmon on Multigrain Toast (with a side of fruit salad) - Cafes Near Me - Niantic, Connecticut

Great local cafe in Niantic! Friendly service and atmosphere. They make the food with care and make your visit pleasurable. The food choices are great for breakfast and lunch. Plus they serve Ashlawn coffee and make your drinks with love. read more

Another Niantic staple run by teens. Calibrate for a local, quirky cafe and settle in. The coffee is delicious, the menu has a ton a veggie, vegan and gluten free options (and not). There is plenty of outdoor seating and a/c inside, booths and tables. I had the Mexicali wrap one day and the extended breakfast sandwich (deconstructed) on day 2. It was July 4th weekend and the place was slammed. The staff kept it together and rode the wave. I would have gone 4 stars but the "egg" appears to be reheated patties rather than fresh eggs. Overall a great little place in a town where you don't have a ton of options read more

Can't go wrong - food, coffee or snacks, it's all amazing!! After a few days of burgers and lobster rolls, my body needed a break and Cafe Sol came to the rescue. Healthy, delicious and just what we all needed. I love this place plus the service is friendly and on point. read more

The place is small and quaint. There is some nice art work for the décor. The service was friendly. The food is expensive compared to what we are used to. A sandwich, a quesadilla, a lemonade and a smoothie came to over $30. The sandwich came with this little salad in a small cup, probably about a quarter of a cup measurement. It was not good and did not have a great smell. The sandwich was ok, definitely different. My son loved the quesadilla. The lemonade was very good and so was the smoothie. read more

Good food, great coffee. Had the Opposites Attract, great flavors with a bit of spice

Love this place so much! Every summer I call in my order and pick it up 3 or 4 days a week cause the spicy cho is sooo good! The baked goods and chai are also delicious! read more

Always delicious! Perfect for eating in, on the patio, or taking to the beach for a picnic! Awesome choices for kids too!

And then there's Cafe SoL. Inside this bustling eatery, the happy-to-be-doing-what-they-love owners and staff are busy dishing up fantastic 12" quesadillas (we love The Cowboy - tangy bbq chicken, peppers and cheese), vats of soup, creative breakfast sandwiches (served with Ashlawn Farm Coffee or housemade chai) from mainly locally-sourced and organic ingredients. But what we never even attempt to resist is their signature treat: a giant sweet and salty cookie, studded with M&M's and potato chips. Wait, can we just say how much we love it here? read more

Mexicali bowl is my best meal of the week, albeit pricey. The salads are amazing! It's worth a visit to support this small business!!
