"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!"

"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."

"I love coming here! The staff is so nice and helpful. The interior is designed so nicely and cozy! A nice place to come with friends or come alone to read your book."

"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."

"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."
