"Great music. Decent amount of outlets. Available printer. Comfy seats in the back. Rogers Park staple. Friendliest staff, great coffee, and good space to work."

lots of outlets, good snack and drink selection. If you have to do conference calls it can be hit more miss with noise levels getting pretty high.
Update April 2016 — Sol Cafe has finally replaced its wifi with a different provider that is fast and reliable. This is a game-changer, and with continued small improvement (like custom donuts on more days!), Sol is poised to return to a neighborhood favorite workspot.
The staff at Sol Cafe are friendly and spot-on and the space is bright, but the wifi is badly unreliable. Multiple visits where I couldn’t connect at all, and found other users in the cafe who couldn’t as well. The staff try to fix it but like a normal coffee house staff, don’t know much more than how to unplug it. This has unfortunately dropped Sol Cafe off my regular working list.
