About Solstice

Tucked away on Smith Street, Solstice brings serious specialty coffee without an ounce of pretense. Morning regulars drop in for expertly pulled espresso and crisp iced batch brews, lingering under the retro vibe while baristas chat grinds and origins. The bakery counter leans savory—think pretzel bagels slathered in everything butter, flaky pretzel croissants, and thick-cut smoked ham sandwiches. Even the tea gets proper respect, brewed by the pot with complimentary second and third steepings.

  • Pretzel-Hybrid Bakes: The pastry counter champions pretzel doughs, turning out pretzel croissants, bagels with everything butter, and pretzel toast with custom Pepe Saya butter.
  • Unpretentious Specialty Brews: Pulling single origins, dialed-in batch brew, and smooth cold brew with baristas happy to talk grind size and beans.
  • Multi-Steep Tea Service: Carefully measured specialty leaves served with complimentary second and third steepings at the table.
