Cafe Sol

Cafe Sol runs a twelve hour day, 9am to 9pm Monday through Saturday, and closes on Sunday, so an evening latte here can come with a plate of dumplings. It sits at 113 49th Street Northeast in north Auburn, and Google lists Euro Food and Deli, a European grocery and deli, at the same street number on 49th Street.

The coffee is espresso drinks, and photos on the cafe's Google listing show cappuccinos with latte art served in white ceramic cups at the tables. No source we found names the roaster or a house drink. The website on the Google listing points to the Instagram home page rather than an account, so there is no menu online to check before a visit.

The food is where the photos linger: a bowl of dumplings under fresh parsley, rolled crepes with strawberries and blueberries and a side of jam, small pancakes dusted with powdered sugar, avocado toast topped with smoked salmon, a croissant sandwich with a dressed salad, and a grilled wrap. Inside, the counter sits under a row of black pendant lights, with round wood tables, a gray couch and a large black and white city photograph on the wall.

Google lists dine in service, a wheelchair accessible entrance and accessible seating, and no outdoor seating. The record online is short, with no website and under a hundred Google reviews, so a quick call to confirm the evening hours is worth it before a late trip.
