Sosta Cafe

Great quality food and perfect coffee spot.
Highly recommend their tasting platter - definitely enough to feed 2 people. Latte is amazing . They decorated the place very stylish with old school vintage stuff. Prices are fairly reasonable and service is quick. Cool place

My sister and I stumbled upon this little gem on Memorial Day, the aroma and witty sign pulled us right in. Plenty of vegan or vegetarian options. The owner manned the counter and boy was he a hoot, definitely in his element. The food was fresh and quick. I had a vegan sandwich that was by my surprise served with a cold bean salad and couscous. Filling and priced well for the area.

What an amazing little cafe! The food was what I would expect from a super Ritzy 5 star restaurant - everything was beyond delicious and the portions were perfect! The atmosphere was incredible - lightheaded and relaxing. It's my new favorite place in downtown Raleigh!

Delicious little cafe! We enjoyed 2 of the vegan sandwiches and tried all 3 sides. Everything is made in house, high quality and well proportioned. We drank a latte and kombucha. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I think I’ve found a fav new lil raleigh cafe. The guy working (maybe the owner?) was super chill. It’s got a solid menu with veggie and non veggie items that all come with really tasty couscous plus white bean salad. Got a good decaf cappuccino. The guy working there also helped a guy in a motorized wheelchair come into the cafe, which was cool. Nice art too

Alpine Minciacinno were excellent
Guido was great too

The bread was really fresh and the Israeli couscous side was excellent!

9.5/10

The veggie sandwiches are delicious, especially the Angus. I usually don't care about deli sides, but the Israeli couscous and chickpea salads are good enough that I would go there just for those.

Wow, I don't know how to say it.

A true gem that's in plain site. It's delicious. Everything. I don't know if it's the French influence in the kitchen but it's, like, so good. So simple and yet so delicious. You can't make it this way at home, lol, I promise.

It's funky, it’s cool, it’s charming, it’s eclectic, it’s modern and metropolitan and cozy and good.

Coffee bar with a kitchen, it’s dynamite 🧨

SOSTA is an oasis of calm, peace, delicious food, and genuine community in the midst of downtown Raleigh. The food is excellent for take-out, or to bask in the atmosphere and take a break to enjoy the superbly crafted coffee, sandwiches, salads, and sides.

Jerome, Raleigh's favorite French, now American, citizen pours his heart into making SOSTA the sort of place where you long to be a regular.

Treat yourself to a place where the experience is just as important as the magnificent food, and support a gem of an independent cafe that has endured a terrible year.

Sosta has been a staple in my dining routine for years. Jerome is a great human and employs a small but mighty staff to serve up the best salads and sandwiches in Raleigh. Try out Sosta for your next lunch downtown! You won’t regret it.
