I'm writing this review because this place deserves much more attention. I went there yesterday for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the sandwhich and coffee. Perhaps one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The quality of the food was exceptional, far better than an ordinary coffee shop. The coffee was amazing as well - maple pecan latte, which is one from their monthly menus. I'm so glad that I found this hidden gem in town. I'm actually coming back today to try another sandwich and coffee. Update on July 26, 2025: I've been coming here at least once every week, hence more photos updated over time. I've tried almost every sandwich that Zach (the chef) offers, and all of them were just fantastic. I did quick research on him (sounds weird, I know) and found out that he's a graduate from Le Cordon Bleu, a world-renowned culinary school. Now that explains the quality of the food and drinks here. Zach told me that his dream is to open a restaurant under his name, perhaps in Hamilton. That's why I come here quite often: since his culinary art is the cheapest today - it'll only become more famous & more pricey, for a good reason. Anyway, I'll continue enjoying my drink here today. Cheers!

The food was great and the indoor and outdoor sitting options are good too! The shade outside is nice in the warmer weather. The street isn't loud but less through traffic would be nicer. We enjoyed the coffee and tea, the sandwiches are really good. Especially the Mushroom Melt and the Italian Hot sandwich. The hot isn't that hot. The in-house icecream is good too. We tried the Earl Grey and chocolate icecream and they were good. The strawberry mint sound interesting.

Fast friendly service, good AC, cute environment! They said they will be opening up their patio hopefully after Mothers Day weekend. I was suggested the Hot Italian sandwich and it was very good!

Truly an excellent place to get away from your everyday stress. Pristine. Whether you’re needing a sweet treat, like a house made pastry, or a beautiful fluffy omelette, you will be very satisfied. I highly recommend Solerien. It’s become my family’s favourite breakfast experience.

Retro styled café and sandwich bar with outdoor seating on a busy road. Coffee was great and I look forward to returning to try their housemade ice cream and Italian sandwiches. Outdoor seating had some shade but could use some planters or something to buffer the proximity to traffic.

Amazing food - fresh and large portions. The savoury scone was my favourite. Maple pecan latte was delicious. Green walnut tea also divine.

Zach & his staff are amazing! Friendly, personable, and quick service! The food is amazing & so flavourful. They make a better iced latte than Starbucks! The iced French toast latte is heaven on earth. I highly recommend this spot! Included a picture of the new cold drink cups!!

Add this place to your list! My family and I went here this morning and we’re so happy we did. The atmosphere was fantastic. The new decor, music and vibes were welcoming and calm. There were colouring books for kids which we really appreciated as well. We loved the food. It was fresh and well made for a great price. It’s not too often that you can have such a large food menu at affordable prices. The menu had a lot of different options too from traditional (like BLTs) to new (like hot peach chicken sandwich). Lastly, the drinks were probably the highlight for us! I’m so excited to try them all. There are many options for both coffee and non-coffee drinkers. It’s weird to comment on this but I have to. The cups and plates were so nice. It felt like a small luxury to use them. There’s something about pottery that just feels great. In short, this was a great affordable experience and we’re lucky to have this new gem in Preston. We will be back soon to try new things :)
