It’s hard to miss Café Sole with its bright yellow umbrellas atop a small patio in front of the eatery. Its proximity to Publix, a door or two away, attracts customers; great food builds its reputation.
The patio seats a handful of patrons during the day. Inside a modest décor with tables covered with crisp, white linens and a square bar provides a cozy neighborhood ambiance. A small criticism: a horizontal mirror behind the two-seat tables would accommodate the polite diners who opt for or had no choice about the wall-facing seat.
Few restaurants serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and do it well. Café Sole does. Menu offerings are extensive. Their house-made focaccia bread serves as delicious envelopes for sandwiches and the foundation for their popular pizza. The Rosemary Chicken Sandwich and Blackened Red Snapper – both on focaccia—with dressing and a crunchy topping of slaw and onion ranked as my blue-ribbon winners. Few finish Café Sole portions.
A return trip to sample dinner proved to be just as satisfying. Grouper Livornese—capers, tomatoes and olives—served with perfectly sauteed spinach and a large dollop of mashed potatoes was commendable for freshness and taste. A small house salad was marred by thick dressing that didn’t pour from a small take-out type plastic container, a small complaint for an otherwise outstanding meal.
“We have one of the best happy hours,” claimed the waiter. Good wines at $6 verified the claim. A collection of wines and an array of cocktails draws a collection of friendly neighbors served by cheerful staff. In addition to the food, people gather here for fun.
Takeout business is brisk at the café. Customers walking out with takeout orders is a common sight – even on Easter Sunday. I can taste why and highly recommend this Jupiter/Juno jewel.
Lots of menu choices for every meal (see their online menus, you’ll be enticed), great taste and service…will prompt my next visit, which will be for breakfast. Parking is easy to find near the Café Sole entrance; the restaurant sits in a shopping center. The location is listed as Jupiter-Juno. The mailing address may be Jupiter but the location is Juno Beach.
