It took just a couple visits to Café Solé, the sunny eatery in Jupiter’s Bluff Square Shoppes, to realize the place has a dress code. Not an obligatory one, mind you, but one that weekend diners seem happy to observe. Call it après Jupiter Beach wear. It’s the summery top that subtly reveals a swimsuit strap, suggesting a day blissfully spent on the beach.

Clear across U.S. 1, the beach seems to find Café Solé and infuse its bright, sunburst-dotted mosaic walls. And who can blame the beach and its devotees from crossing the highway and venturing into this strip plaza where Café Solé bakes its own toasty, cheesy focaccia bread several times a day, wraps up deliciously seasoned meats and veggies into roll-ups, bakes an eclectic range of toppings on freshly made pizza dough, ladles soulful soups homemade each day, and tosses crisp, abundant salads?

This is a neighborhood place you want in your neighborhood. The menu of starters, soups, salads, sandwiches and pizza is varied enough to be interesting, but not over-ambitious. But the things they do well, they do with gusto – and they do consistently well. When you order a roasted veggie sandwich ($10.49) on focaccia bread, a thick flatbread that’s delicious enough to eat on its own, you get grilled eggplant, oven-roasted red peppers, fresh basil and smoked mozzarella that just melts into that wonderful bread. (All sandwiches are served with your choice of chips, pretty yummy black beans and rice, or orzo salad.)

When you order a Caribbean chicken roll-up ($10.49), you get grilled chicken breast paired with a bright mix of tomatoes, red onions, peppers and two kinds of cheeses. And if you happen to dine here on a day when owner Jon Batts has the Gorgonzola Melt sandwich ($10.49) on the menu, you’ll find yourself savoring bites of meaty portobellos, fresh spinach and Roma tomatoes tucked into a focaccia of your choice (love the whole wheat).

Salads, such as the tangy and terrific Greek salad ($9.99), are hugely shareable. As are pizzas, which range from simple cheese ($8.99) to a potato chicken pie ($11.49) to a fresh salad-topped tostada pizza ($12.99 with chicken, $10.99 without).

I sampled the Solé Pizza ($10.99), a salad-topped pie with hot, grilled eggplant, melted mozzarella and a tangle of fresh, chilled spinach, mushrooms, red onion slivers and Gorgonzola. It was a spectacular combo, but there was just one problem: it arrived doused in a pale balsamic dressing. It’s the same dressing that’s used in many of the dishes here, one that, according to our friendly and efficient server, is quite popular with regulars. I’m not among those balsamic dressing fans. Next time, I’ll order olive oil on the side.

Desserts here are simple: cookies and peanut butter pie. And although the café is open only to 8:30 p.m. (every night), it does serve wine and bottled beer, along with its refreshing ice teas, lemonade and sodas. My favorite is the iced tropical tea ($2.49). It’s just the thing to have on a sweltering day – whether or not you’re among the swimsuit strap set, fresh from the beach.
