Sosta & Gusta In Rosolini

Hidden gem downtown that's reasonable priced with good vegetarian and vegan options. Cannelini beans are a must as a side. Great first date spot 😄

You won't find anything else like this in Raleigh! Great coffee & sandwiches, sophisticated atmosphere, and locally owned. I highly recommend it...

We have used this place often for staff and client lunches — their food is always excellent, and service always kind and prompt, even with large orders and various dietary restrictions. Thank you!!

Great French/Mediterranean lunch options. Get the veggie sampler with Israeli couscous, chickpea salad, and cannellini bean salad

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!

Wanted to love this place but the romaine wasn’t the best. Will definitely try again. Great service and cute space. Very cosy.

This place is a sacred vestige of what I want in a cafe: flavorful and healthy food options, great coffee, unique music and a really cozy atmosphere (plus friendly staff! Owner Jerome is so kind and welcoming). I lived next to Sosta when it first opened in 2006 and would go very often. Fast forward 18 years: I live a little east of downtown and rarely eat downtown anymore. But today I was in dire need of quality sustenance and a quiet place to work (after losing every ounce of my energy chaperoning a field trip at Marbles Kids Museum nearby 🤪). I was beyond delighted to see that Sosta was still in business! Walking in was like time had stood still since their early days, in the most comforting way. The vegan sides were exactly how I remembered them and just what my body needed. I loved my vegan BBQ sandwich, the ultimate comfort food. I visited at the end of their day so it wasn’t too busy, and the service was also crazy fast. You won’t regret stopping by!

The sandwich was so good. I would kill to eat it again. Thank you for existing!

I went in for coffee and ended up ordering the Guido sandwich. I have to say it was one of the best sandwiches that I have eaten. The ciabatta bread was fresh, perfectly toasted. It had perfectly caramelized onions, a layer of Gorgonzola cheese and fresh arugula. The Canelli beans, and the couscous paired perfectly with a sandwich. This café is a true gem for semi gourmet food.

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.
