YUMMY! I went on a Sunday at around 1:30/2pm and there was such a long wait. I probably waited in line for 20 min, then another 5 to get my order, so I wouldn't recommend if you are in a rush. But parking was easy enough. And when it was my turn to order, wow, I wanted to try everything in the pastry case! I ended up getting the earthquake cookies, a chocolate chip cookie, baklava, and a donut with some kind of chocolate frosting and a creamy filling. Wow, everything was amazing, especially the donut! Would love to come back for lunch sometime and try more of their menu items :) very interesting flavors and offers!

A really special Middle Eastern cafe spot with tons of wonderful flavors to discover!Came here for breakfast and left with some dishes to go! There are a lot of great both sweet and savory options to dine-in or have to go!Tried two sandwiches, two to-go dishes, a beet tzatziki (to die for!), spicy labneh (best I've ever had!), and muhammara (very nutty and sweet) as well as the Turkish tea. Everything tasted very fresh and hit the sweet spot in terms of flavor.The prices are a little steep, but in my opinion it is worth it!If you are planning to dine in, be ready to wait in line as the place is really small and does fill up super quickly.

The food is always fantastic and flavorful. Start with the great meze and baked goods!
After a draining day of eating hallucinogens and wandering through the cemetery, eating here was truly splendiferous.

Love Sofra and keep going back. They have plenty of vegetarian options to not run out, and the hot and cold meze are delicious. Most importantly I love their baked good - my favorite is brown butter tahini donut ? that's easy to get addicted to haha!

This is a great little cafe when you're missing the flavours of Sarma and Oleana (its sister restaurants) during the day and don't want to commit to a full meal. The snacks (especially dips and pita) are great and so are the baked items. I found that their shawarma wraps are a bit overpriced and lacking in quantity for what you pay for, but I'd 100% come here for drinks, snacks and baked goods. The service is good in the sense that the line moves fast but seating is limited. A great place to visit on a sunny day as they do have limited patio seating! PSA - their muhammara is to die for.

Very good Shakshuka and fatten was creative. Baked goods are always delicious. The cornbread with the Shakshuka is an elite touch.

The food is fabulous but it’s a tiny space and they need a policy so that people don’t sit at valuable tables doing homework, scrolling through phones, or otherwise taking up space long after any food or drink is consumed. Unfortunately, people are not naturally considerate when they see people eating standing up.

It is a nice adaptation. Everything was sweeter than it should. For instance, simit is supposed to be savory a little bit bland so that you can eat with cheese and stuff. This was closer to tahini bread rather than simit.We liked durum, dolma and potato gruyere
Delicious Mediterranean baked goods and food in a very cozy setting. The sample of meze dishes I had were some of the best I've ever had. You gotta try the Muhammara and baba ganoush. Inside is a bit cramped and crowded with only a few seats mixed into the dry goods shelves. Not good for big groups or kids. They do have all sorts of treats and cooking spices to buy which is really neat. Items are on the pricier side and portions are a bit small but the quality is there to justify it. The lines here exist for good reason so order ahead if you are in a hurry. Parking is limited to street. Great spot for a quick bite!

We came here for lunch. Parking was pretty easy around the corner. The baked goods were amazing! You order at the counter and they give you a number and bring everything out to you. It is hard to find seating. I did not like my chicken shwarma but my husband liked his lamb wrap. The simitz was amazing and went well with the fava bean dip. I would come back but only for the fabulous baked goods...simitz, baklava, cookies, banana croissant.

Who are the jokers that are giving Sofra anything less than 5 stars? The pastries, the hot food, the to-go items in the cold case…. Everything is a perfect 10.
what a great spot for breakfast. a bit crowded but tables seem to open up quickly. the egg dishes and and pastries were fantastic. nice take on shasuksuka, and the egg sandwich was perfect. The turkish breakfast plate was unusual and very tasty. Don't pass up the chocolates from Karma Coffee if they are on sale at the counter... out of this world and hard to find!
