Highly recommend the Chic N Brie with the croissant base. Right amount of savoury and sweet especially with the caramelised onions.

I visited this brunch spot with a greenery vibe and although it wasn't too busy on Saturday morning, the service was excellent and staff were very patient. The menu had limited options, but you can pick a base, including sourdough, panino, bagels, and croissants. I ordered the "sth fishy" smoked salmon with sourdough, and it was fresh and tasty. The portion wasn't big, but it was enough for me, especially with the spicy chili oil as a finishing touch. My friend chose the chicken with panino, which was a generous serving. The panino bread was slightly sweet, I preferred the sourdough. The chicken dish had a strong mayo dressing base, while I enjoyed the salmon more. I tried the piccolo from Zest Coffee, and the latte art was impressive. The latte was strong, but it lacked the rich flavours of peach, cashew, and white chocolate that I was hoping for. It’s just my personal experience. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was the cup, they use the plastic one instead.

The food and coffee were amazing! Definitely an example of why vegan food should be more than an afterthought on a brunch menu. I loved the coffee. I definitely will be returning to try more things on the menu. Loved the convenient parking. My only point of disappointment was that it was WAY TOO loud in there, when the patrons start shouting to be hear over each other. They definitely need some sound dampening on the walls/ceiling.

Love coming to Mettā Sol. The food choices are great, with pancakes being a big favourite. The coffee is beautiful, the food is presented well but with flavours and textures to match. Interesting food combos with South American influence. The space is a light airy bright and clean. With the hanging greenery complimenting the space well. Will keep coming back to this lovely spot.

The service here is so warm and inviting. It is lovely to be able to interact with the owner and feel the passion they have for their work through their food and coffee. The coffee is so rich and full bodied! They definitely put a lot of effort into sourcing beans of good notes. A South American flair in their menu which does not disappoint! To top it all they are environmentally conscious through their work, leaving you knowing you are leaving little of a trace.
