  If I could give this place 0 starts I would. First of all, there are limited tables with a line out the door. I went to sit at one while my boyfriend was in line and was informed by the manager that I couldn’t sit until we have ordered while there was many others around me sitting that haven’t ordered. If you are going to apply those rules, apply them to everyone. We waited about 20 min in line and ordered and after we couldn’t find a table since all of them were taken…of course. The food came out as well as my matcha latte which was horrible. The French toast was soggy and my matcha just tasted like milk. The manager also came up to the table next to us who had been there for an hour to inform them that their food never got put in. To top it all off, as we were leaving some lady from the office building next door came in and yelled and everyone in the restaurant to move their cars or they’d be towed. Overall I would not recommend coming here at all, don’t waste your time and money. Horrible service and bad food.

  Totally worth the wait! I had been wanting to try Sophia’s out since I first heard that it was opening a few months ago. My mom and I arrived and the line wrapped out onto the sidewalk in front of the building. People looked excited to be there and did not mind the nearly 40 minute wait. We ordered as many items as possible including entrées, drinks, and got some pastries to go. The staff there were all very friendly and outgoing. My elderly mom sat at a nearby table as I waited in line and the staff consistently checked on her to make sure she was OK and to see if she needed something to drink. Flor, Nolan, Everly, and Harlow were extremely attentive as they checked in to see if we needed anything throughout our dining experience. We loved all the tasty food especially the french toast and the breakfast burrito. The portion sizes were perfect and I liked that several of the entrées came with a side of tater tots. The pricing was fair and comparable to the amount of food you received. This place definitely has a killer vibe where you want to go with a group of friends to people watch and have an excellent brunch experience. Check it out, you won’t regret it.

  We live in the neighborhood and saw this place driving by, so decided to give it a try. There wasn't anywhere to park so we had to park at a nearby business and walk over. It's a bit of an odd location for a busy restaurant. It looks really nice and is decorated very well and trendy. It's first-come first-serve, so you have to wait in line for about 15-30 minutes to order before you can sit down with your number. Although there's a lot of tables and communal seating, the flow is disrupted by people claiming tables when they first arrive at the back of the line. I think the owner will need to come up with a different approach as this leaves people who have just ordered without anywhere to sit. My husband and I had to stand and wait for 15 minutes to get a table after we ordered. That's not good service in our opinion. The waiters were kind and attentive, but they are constantly wandering to find table numbers so it's a sensory nightmare between the packed tables and people waiting in line. We wished there was a better system for seating as it was hard to enjoy the atmosphere. The food arrived not too long after we ordered which was good, but we weren't super impressed by it. It was just okay. Although the ingredients seem high-quality (awesome), the food lacked seasoning and flavor. I got the egg sandwich - the bread was way too big for a sandwich in my opinion. I could barely get my mouth around one slice of the milk bread, let alone two slices. My husband got the chicken sando and he said it wasn't anything special. For the price, we can get a lot more food and better service at other brunch places in the area. Overall, the decor is beautiful but we likely won't be back to try more because of the stressful seating issues. I hope the owner can figure out a better strategy so we can try different food items.

  If you are looking to try the food on the menu and get quick good service, wait until the social media hype dies down. I have been to this place 4 times and have only had the pleasure of dining here twice and have never had the opportunity to enjoy their entire menu. The restaurant is a nice mid-century modern building with nice charm and lots of light. The entire patio is outdoor, but covered which should be nice for the summer. The food I’ve had so far has been tasty, but not out of this world. I had the breakfast sandwich with avocado. It is Gordon Ramsay style scrambled eggs, slices of avocado, on Texas Toast. Once again it is very good, but a recipe that is easily available on YouTube. The potatoes are good and the yogurt parfait is good. The food in general is good, nearby there are better breakfast options. My biggest pet peeve has been kitchen management. There have been items unavailable as early as 8:00am. I have received excuses such as the purveyor was out of the item, the kitchen didn’t have time to prepare it, and there were more customers than they expected. I have worked in restaurant management for some of the most successful restaurants. Items being unavailable is a Cardinal Sin. If your primary purveyor is unable to provide the item then you reach out to other purveyors or go to Costco. It might be difficult on your margins, but a lost customer due to them wondering will this place have the item they want is a bigger loss than a few cents of profit on an ingredient. As far as them not expecting the amount of customers they have gotten, they are promoting heavily on social media. Why did they pay all of that money for advertising if they didn’t expect people to show up. Unless you want to spend over an hour of your day to not get the items you want, I recommend coming back in a month or 2 when the social media buzz turns someplace else and this place hopefully has things together.

  Ever since I saw the first Insta ad showing off the Ftench toast, I knew I needed that in my life. I have been waiting for Sophia's to open for months now and by a "happy little mistake", I found out they're open to the public now! The interior is very vibey/Instagrammable but on to the most important thing - the food. The French toast was every bit the vision I had built of it in my head. The cube of French toast, covered in butter on top, full of incredibly delicious dulce de leche filling, and the maple syrup and sea salt balancing out the sweetness of the dulce de leche filling. In addition, the side of fingerling potatoes had the perfect amount of crispness and crunchiness. The mocha latte was good and you can taste the quality of the coffee beans used to make it (sourced from Provision Coffee). All in all, if you can make it in to Sophia's, you should. The French toast is AMAZING to say the least and the vibes inside are most definitely on point. I definitely plan on being back soon to get the full experience and dine in as opposed to my to-go order today. PS: Give whoever was in control of the playlist a raise, the choice of music definitely raised the atmosphere.
