Cafe Sol

Nice little restaurant with great service, I was really impressed with how quickly our food was served. I must also comment that I ordered the eggs over medium and for only the second time ever a cook nailed ‘em!👏🏻👏🏻My wife enjoyed her quiche but commented it there wasn’t anything special about it. The biscuits and gravy were good, the biscuit to gravy ratio was off a bit leaving me with half of a biscuit without gravy. Overall though a good place and we’ll definitely return.

Stopped in for a girls’ lunch near closing on a Sunday. There was plenty of seating inside but the few tables outside were taken. You place your order at the counter and they bring it to the table. We ordered a couple bowls, mushroom wrap, soup and a smoothie. My fiesta bowl was tasty but waay more rice than I could eat. Not a great ratio of rice to veggies unfortunately and the chicken was dry. The mango pineapple lime jalapeno smoothie with an orange juice base was an interesting sweetness with a jalapeño bite at the end. The green chile chicken soup was tasty but needed something besides the couple pieces of chicken in it. The fries were definitely the best part of our meal. They were thicker cut fries with a delicious seasoning on them. Upon finishing our meal, we noticed we had to clean off our tables ourselves, which honestly affects the experience when dining out.

The quaintest little cafe downtown. Loved the vibe here! Very simple but very delicious. I had the beet salad with goat cheese and pear with a side of rye toast. The salad was huge! Too big for me but I enjoyed what I could. The rye toast really added great flavor along with the other simple flavors of the salad. Loved being able to just order from a table with plenty of seating available. Cant wait to try the paninis! 😍

Went for a drink on a hot day with my parents and found a lovely vibe, passionate stuff that find joy in what they do, and great drinks. We ordered a latte, a turmeric latte and a smoothie. The staff went above and beyond to make sure the order fit our needs and it didn't disappoint. Recommend 100% this spot if you are around and looking for a yummy drink or bite.

Cafe Sol has great energy and it shows in the food. Strong flavors, good ingredients, and the menu has plenty of options without feeling all over the place. The staff was upbeat and helpful, and even when it was busy, it didn't feel chaotic. This is a good place to bring someone from out of town if you want them to leave impressed. I'd recommend it and I'll be back for sure.

February 15 2026 Would recommend $$ the environment was calm staff was polite place was clean decor was pleasant and most importantly food was good enjoyed placing my order on the phone and seeing the few other items for sale in store

Delicious salad and healthy options. Great place to go grab brunch and lunch. Would come back here to try more dishes. Food came out big portions, small size is plenty.

Devastated. This was my favorite place to eat. I told everyone to come here. This was my college lunch break spot. I moved away for a year and just came back. It went from superb to subpar? Paying way too much for less quality. The Cafe sol salid doesnt have pesto dressing and barely any toppings. The portobello is gross now. Chickpeas have been added? You cant do the salad/Sammie combo anymore. No more brea cheese and awesome unique ingredients the cook put a twist on it and you wouldn't find elsewhere. What a bummer.

Great spot for a nice lunch outside. My father and I arrived on the California Zephyr, dropped our bags at the hotel, and wandered over for a late lunch. The staff was great and allowed me to swap turkey for beef on the reuben. It was amazing and the slaw was too. I loved the unique napkins and that they have reusable plates, napkins, and silverware. My dad loved the black bean burger, but is still trying to figure out the spice. We're only in town for one day, but would come back if we were here longer.

It was a nice little quiet restaurant. There is outdoor seating if you like. I had a peach salad, and it was pretty good. Service was fast and polite.

Called in a lunch order & the woman on the phone was friendly and efficient. I ordered two salads, the Beet Salad and the Figgy Bits Salad, and both were delicious! The small size is perfect for lunch. So tasty!

We absolutely devoured our lunch at this terrific lunch spot. The paninis were packed with flavor - and honestly, we could have probably split a lunch but we were hungry and somehow our dishes were clean by the end of lunch. We saw other folks with these amazing salads - which I will have to try next time. It has a super casual vibe along the main street of town.

Found this place online and I was pumped as I'm a huge cafe go-er so let me start by saying the coffee regular drip was fantastic. Seriously delicious and I had it black. So props on the coffee. The food wasssss nothing exceptional. I was really hoping for a wow on the food. I had the chicken club panini and it was lacking flavor. The chicken was bland in it. I did like the green chilies! Yum. The salad was okay as well but again I was hoping for a wow factor. The ambiance was nice, pretty peace and love vibe. Lots of seating area and cute patio space. The service was fine. It was my first time here so really wish the person who took the order would've explained food options or something special about the cafe but that's just sprinkles I'm looking for on top of the cupcake. The prices for food are in the $15-20 range and coffee was very well priced at $3-$4 for the drip. I could see someone coming here for coffee and working on their computer.

I hate leaving bad reviews, but my experience here was awful. I ordered the cafe sol salad, after waiting for 25 minutes, I went to the counter and asked about my food. They said it would be out shortly- despite there only being only one other person in the restaurant. I waited another ten minutes. When I finally got my salad (with no apology or discount) the beets were very mushy and clearly had been sitting for a while. The dressing was bitter tasting and gave me heart burn. For the ridiculous price that I paid for this, I was really disappointed at the size, quality and wait time. I would not waste my money here again.

Delicious! We walked in to order for takeout and was greeted by an extremely friendly hostess! We ordered the Turkey Sandwich, Black Bean Burger with Quinoa Salad, Spicy Chickpea Soup, and Cafe Sol Salad. Everything was delicious! The ingredients tasted delicious and so fresh. We also got the vegan peanut butter chocolate donut which had so much flavor without being sweet. This is a must go spot.

This is a nice place to eat downtown and is accessible to many shops and things. It has a very healthy, hearty breakfast option and gives many vegetarian options. The service was prompt and overall was a very clean establishment.

Service with an attitude. Not sure why but server was snippy. Acted like she couldn't be bothered. Gave a 20% tip up front, wish I hadn't. Oh well, just visiting town. Will avoid.

Small place with counter service Pretty varied menu with a lot of salads and sandwiches Service was just ok, was first time in and girl taking orders was clearly annoyed with me Ordered the fig and walnuts salad with blackened chicken Came out to table pretty quickly and was very tasty. Salad dressing was really good. Salad was ginormous only issue was chicken was hammered. Very dry and overcooked

A great spot for breakfast and lunch -- the best food we had in Grand Junction over a long weekend. You can sit inside or out; order at the counter and grab a table while you wait for food to be delivered. The panini are excellent and the salads are great. It gets crowded for lunch on the weekends, as you'd expect, but empties out by 1-2pm and you can easily grab a seat.

WHAT A GEM of healthy options and great flavors! Parking is everywhere but I recommend the metered lots. Art is everywhere! And, WOW! Such sweet and comfortable decor! The portobello mushroom panini was so delicious especially paired with hummus and fresh vegetables. The salad was so flavorful with the vinaigrette. I was floored with the portion size but very thankful for such a filling meal.the water options are so fresh and the food is so very with the price. The inside is comfortable and there is patio seating available. I highly recommend this salad and Panini combo because of how well paired the flavors are. this is what Panera wants to be, in my opinion!

Yogurt parfait was $13 and in a bowl that was smaller than my hand...not super impressed

The portion size here was great for a big eater like myself. The service was very pleasant. The ambiance is quaint and small shop vibe. I would recommend for anyone wanting a semi quick sit down breakfast or brunch. It's competitively priced like most of the breakfast places here.

Great breakfast spot! Excellent high-octane iced coffees and hand made breakfasts. I had the quiche of the day with local fresh fruit and my husband had the egg breakfast with portobello mushrooms, potatoes and avocado and sour dough toast. Picked up homemade jam to go!

The two stars I did include were for having clearly labeled GF, DF, VEG and NF options and good smoothies/lattes, but the black bean burger "panini" had two pieces of raw bread that wasn't even toasted, along with three almost entirely black avocado slices that were clearly rotten. We were shocked this was allowed out of the kitchen. I hope this is just a new hire's first day on the job and not representative of how things run typically but won't be returning again.

It's a great lunch spot, they have outdoor seating, rotating menu items. It's our go to on main.

Cutest place! I loved the vibes here. We grabbed breakfast sandwiches & they were delicious! Mine had avocado on it. I didn't know it was on a croissant until it arrived (which probably wouldn't be my first choice) but it did not disappoint! The breakfast potatoes looked delicious but came to us cold. So unfortunate how one thing can bring the meal down. All napkins are cloth, which was unique to see. Staff seemed great! & the chairs are high quality! it needed to be said!!

Really good lunch, very tasty! My wife and I loved our paninis and my son devoured his grilled cheese w/fries.

My wife and I walked to Cafe Sol on Main St just a few blocks away from our SpringHill Suites hotel for a late lunch. It was towards closing time so it wasn't too busy but many customers were still coming in for a quick bite or pick-up. Ordering was done at the counter, it was efficient and easy. Our food items were brought out to our table. I ordered the Chicken Pesto Panini w/chips and my wife ordered the small Cafe Sol salad w/grilled chicken breast (the small was plentiful, a large portion would have been too much). The panini and salad were delicious. Highly recommend trying this restaurant!

The cobb salad!!!! I'm not even a huge cobb salad gal but this one may have changed my mind. The tomatoes + all the veggies tasted so fresh and delicious. I got the salad + soup combo with the beef stew- also very tasty. Large portion of salad and smaller cup of soup- perfect amount for a good sized lunch. Prompt and friendly service- you order at the front then sit down or wait for your name to be called when to go order is ready. I'm only here a few days but I may need to go back to try more of their menu items

Wanted something different than bar and grill offerings. This hit the spot! Fun menu, hard to decide.

Healthy 5 star worthy food Turkey panini - juicy Turkey, perfect bread, garlic mayo on point. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it Black Bean Burger - so satisfying and so good! Healthy and vegan, I scarfed this one down and did not feel guilty about it at all. Beet salad - GENOROUS helpings of beet chunks and delicious dressing. The greens were fresh and tender. The prosciutto and parmesan slices went together so well. Perfection Cafe Sol Salad - candied pecans and banana bread croutons were a nice sweet touch to the fresh greens! Why dock that 1 star? When we called to order take out, the girl on the phone asked if we wanted a small or large salad, if course it was huge and wonderful the first time we had it dining in, however it was a meager (70%) portion in the to- go container. They should not even offered the large size to go over the phone as it's misleading, you can only fit a regular salad into that container Overall would come again, but would only dine in for salads and would recommend better business practice

Ordered the turkey panini and beet salad as the side. The "beet salad" looked and smelled like a scoop of canned cat food--brownish grey minced mystery substance--with a weird, also undecipherable, sour taste, and I only took one tiny mouthful before deciding that it was neither desirable nor probably safe. The panini was barely tolerable; the bread was a good consistency, but the insides were slimy, soaked in mayonnaise, overripe avocado and questionable tomatoes.

No accommodation for eating at outdoor patio with a dog. By myself and they will not take my order at the patio; I will not return indoors to make my order and leave my dog unattended outdoors.

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.

Excellent food quality. My dining companion liked his quiche and I loved my burrito. My turmeric oat milk latte was super; my companion's latte was a bit too sweet.

I've been here several times for both breakfast and lunch and it has always been amazing. Their salads are the best in town! Really love the smoothie selection also. Also the staff are so nice! Outdoor seating is lovely and indoors when it's chilly. It's a great place to meet for coffee or lunch. 5 stars well deserved!!

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.

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.

Stopped here during a road trip, in search of a solid sandwich shop and some healthy food. Staff were friendly, everyone was COVID safe and professional, and they had a massive menu selection. Solid place to get a healthy lunch with some very tasty and creative salad and sandwich options. Really enjoyed the Cuban Sandwich and the Chicken Avocado.

My friends and I were strolling around downtown Grand Junction and decided to stop in at Café Sol for lunch. We had a delightful time! It was quite crowded when we first arrived, with a line at the counter to order, but very quickly a table opened up and the three of us were able to sit down. The line to order moved quickly, and by the time we'd put down our bags to go up to the counter there was no wait. One of my friends just wanted coffee, but the other two of us ordered the lunch combo. My friend had the beet salad and turkey panini, and I had the pear and goat cheese salad and quiche of the day. Everything was delicious! Even my friend's coffee was yummy, and served in a real diner coffee mug. They have sustainable practices, with cloth napkins, real silverware, plates, and glasses. The portions are just right for lunch, and the food is extremely fresh, with wonderful flavors. The ambience of the café is bright, airy and welcoming, with high ceilings and local artwork covering the walls. The staff is friendly and efficient. The menu is extensive, with something to please every palate. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Café Sol and will be back soon!

I have never in my life enjoyed eating beets. Cafe Sol has a way to make them taste magical and, for that alone, they earn five stars! But, of course, beets are just one item that dazzles the taste buds. The quinoa tabouleh is also amazing. And the paninis that come with these sides? Large, flavorful, warm, and oh-so-crunchy. I love the tuna melt, and the chicken guacamole makes my tummy sing. Oh, and taking a fresh smoothie along for the ride home? Yes, please.

Okay food, nothing special. I had the beet salad and while the portion was good sized it was mostly lettuce with not much topping. We would not come back.

Menu items are great: Huge portions, farm-to-table ingredients, reasonably priced, and healthy options. My group had the paninis and really enjoyed them.

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.

I enjoy Cafe Sol. Good mostly healthy food, generous servings and fair prices. They did a good job of adapting during the first two years of the pandemic, and was one of the few places that felt safe. There is plenty of parking and outside dining. Their Cobb salad is a big lunch, and a favorite.

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.

This is a great little spot right in the heart of Grand Junction. We stopped in to get lunch on the way to Moab. They have a nice big menu with plenty to choose from. This is an ideal place for anyone who is vegan or gluten free. I had a delicious smoothie with apple, mango, kale, basil and oat milk. Such an interesting combo, I was totally intrigued, and not let down! I also ordered the summer salad. It was so tasty and so so fresh, but the quinoa was missing, which I definitely felt was needed. Overall a great experience.

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

I really enjoyed this spot! It's a order and sit kind of restaurant. The menu caters to omnis, vegetarians, and vegans alike. I loved that healthy sides don't cost extra as they tend to at other establishments. I got the portobello panini with a side of lentil and carrot salad. Really enjoyed that. It was a nice, hearty portion and kept me full until dinner. They had smoothies too that I wish I'd had the stomach to enjoy!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

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.
