Yay! Modern Pastry to manage Soleil Cafe!
I just walked by Soleil Cafe, as I do pretty much any time I walk home from the T. From across the street I saw that the cafe windows are all papered, and I wondered if the place had closed. It seems like they’d been reducing their hours over time and I always wanted to like their food more than I did. Once I got closer, I saw the little signs in all the windows indicating that the cafe is closed but will soon re-open under the management of the fine people who run Modern Pastry in the North End and Medford! Pastries, gelato, sandwiches, and other delights are promised! Yay!!

Oooh - this makes me very excited. Soleil was NEVER open (I always wondered how a cafe stayed in business when it wasn’t open for coffee in the mornings). Bring on the cannolis!
We wondered about that, too. I’ve heard rumors that the owners had some disagreements, and it seems clear that they were primarily interested in catering.
