Offering large tables with plenty of space and a soundtrack that never fails, the atmosphere of Solstice is unmatched. The grilled cheese and tomato soup are amazing along with their very tasty cookies and brownies. Espresso drinks are crafted by very skilled and friendly baristas. Until recently, Solstice, Trabant and Zoka were neck and neck for the title of best café. As Trabant and Zoka are raising the bar of coffee standards in the U-District by implementing Clover machines, Solstice seems oblivious to the trend in its recent actions by deciding to no longer offer French Press as their standard $2 cup of coffee. It's been replaced by a drip coffee machine that brews coffee reminiscent of Tully's or Seattle's Best. Without the quality coffee, I cannot get myself to give any more than a very unenthused recommendation. Please bring back the French Press, Solstice, I really thought you had achieved perfection in the cafe equation.

Pros: Great music, atmoshpere, food

Cons: Average Coffee

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

this has always been my favorite place to study and socialize over a good cup of coffee (or a cheap beer).

Pros: awesome coffee, good music, cheap beer, open til 11
