What People Are Saying About Solstice Cafe

The Scene
The clientele is as eclectic as the décor at this slightly quirky café in restaurant-starved Grant Park. Couples with babies in tow, twenty-somethings in requisite black glasses, and black-clad punk-rock chicks fill the mismatched tables, each with their own hand-painted theme. On bright afternoons sunlight streams in from the floor-to-ceiling windows illuminating the artwork---all for sale--that hangs on the walls. The cheerful--if slightly lackadaisical--wait staff accents the Bohemian charm.
The Food
Solstice's well-edited menu of breakfast, lunch and dinner entrees isn't nearly as haphazard as the décor. Highlights include fluffy banana-walnut pancakes called Solstice Cakes and plate-licking-good berry and mascarpone crepes. The B.L.F.G.T. features crisp fried green tomatoes, applewood-smoked bacon and goat cheese sandwiched between two thick squares of focaccia. Pasta dishes--butternut squash ravioli, homemade ziti in vodka sauce--and nightly specials like roast pork tenderloin round out the dinner selections.

The bartender is awesome. Talk to him about politics and he'll make you the most awesome margaritas.

This place is great when nothing else is open and you do not want McDonalds. It stays open all week until midnight and opens at 8am. The waitress was very mellow, high, and inattentive. However, the food made up for any failings on her part. I tried two dishes the open-faced steak sandwich and the talapia sandwich... both were surprisingly flavorful. The strawberry juice is amazing as well. It is very small and has a cafe feel to it.

When to Go:
Solstice serves breakfast every day until 3pm, making it popular for weekend brunch. Plus, unlike some intown brunch spots, you rarely have to wait for a table.
What to Drink:
With names like Chubby Monkey, Monster Mocha and Creme Solstice, the hot-and-cold coffee drinks made with Lavazza coffee are better than dessert and worth the shots of caffeine. The menu also features Revolution and PG Tips teas.
The Extras:
Solstice is practically across the street from Grant Park. Walk off your meal with a tree-shaded stroll, or make a day of it and visit the Atlanta Zoo or the Cyclorama, which are both in the park.
