I don't know how I overlooked this place. it is across the street from Habit Coffee. It has a fuller menu, but i only had a coffee and pastry, both excellent. It seems that I arrived on the last day it will look like this, as they are closing for a month of renovations. i will have to return when it is done and do another entry. It has a nice, friendly warm atmosphere, and seems to attract a 'homespun' clientelle. It was crowded, so I ended up sharing a table with three Oak Bay kinda casual business men, who were quite curious about what i was doing. They serve Fernwood Coffee, which I love, and Silk Road Teas. After hours, solstice café plays host to singers, poets, philosophers, artists, protestors and many others with something to share…I haven't been to any of these, but now I know about it, I may give it a try.
