This place is a little gem. Very tasty food (including but not limited to great vegan options), generous portions, and hearty coffee. The environment is very chill and pleasant and the staff is always friendly. Try the Poulet chicken sandwich!

Sosta Cafe is a chill place that serves great tasting food at a reasonable price. The people there are friendly and the cafe is decorated in an simple, but elegant, decor. I couldn't help but notice the attractively unusual lighting chandelier over the counter area. From what we gathered, the staff and/or proprietor have been at it in this location for some thirty years. Businesses don't, typically, survive that long unless they're doing something right!

Was in the area around lunch time and saw this place had high reviews, so we decided to check it out. Did not disappoint. Great food, fresh and flavorful. Husband and I were both happy with our coffee drinks as well. Great atmosphere. Cheerful, friendly staff.

Very friendly place with a great selection of vegan sandwiches. A plate is affordable and more than enough to get you filled. At least it was in my case. I had a BBQ sandwich that I uploaded a photo about. The double espresso wasn't too strong and oily. I sat in around 8 a.m. and by 9 the place was almost full already. Many of the guests seemed regular, the guy behind the bar seemed to know many of them, which gave the whole place a homely vibe. The decoration is cool, retro, artsy and kind of international. Good experience all together.

As a longtime vegan, I was genuinely excited by how many plant based options were available. I ordered This Little Piggy, a vegan, soy based Eastern Carolina style “B.B.Q.” with lettuce, tomatoes, and arugula on wheat bread, and it was incredibly flavorful and satisfying. I also tried The Angus with marinated vegan “beef,” tomatoes, arugula, and homemade vegan basil pesto on a baguette, and it was just as good. For a non vegan take, my husband ordered The Guido with port marinated roast beef, caramelized onions, gorgonzola, and arugula on ciabatta and loved it. Everything we tried was a hit. Bonus points for celebrating 20 years in business. Such a special Raleigh staple worth supporting.

Sosta Cafe is now on my top 5 Vegan Restaurants in Raleigh list. My wife and I arrived right before the lunch crowd on Friday and the reviews I read earlier about this quaint cafe did not disappoint. The eclectic furniture, with its unique wall art throughout the room brought us back to our time in Key West, FL. I had the This Little Piggy sandwich with CousCous and Chickpeas. Both sides were flavorful and complimented the sandwich well. This Little Piggy was delicious! Although it was a bit on the sweet side, the sweetness was tempered with the fresh lettuce, tomatoes and arugula. The soy based meat, which was chopped/shredded, was succulent and tasted just like pork! My wife was in awe that I finished my dish, since I seldom do. Service was equally good. A vegan delight! By the way, my wife is a carnivore and loved her sandwich, the Pollobella (without the portabella mushroom).😜 If you’re a vegan looking for a delicious, light meal. Check out Sosta Cafe!

Such a wonderful little spot located right downtown! The decor and atmosphere is amazing, not to mention the delicious sandwiches and not your run-of-the-mill menu. The alpine sandwich and couscous are delicious. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a stop in.

Made me feel like I am back home in Europe. Everything about this cafe and the experience AND the food. Fresh, delicious and delectable. This is a must stop by or order out. I had the Alpine with chickpeas and couscous and my friend had the Piedmont with beans and chickpeas. Definitely will return!!
