| - Since I live about 4 blocks away, I've stopped by Sophia's on many a weekend morning to grab a croissant, sticky bun, slice of cake, etc. to go. Their pastries are fantastic. Their croissants are flaky, buttery, savory...in short, proper.
I had never had an actual sit-down experience until last weekend, because, frankly, I had been intimidated. It's such a tiny space, and it's always been jam-packed, with people waiting outside to have a spot to sit and eat. I've seen people in warmer months sitting outside on chairs with plates on their laps for lack of tables.
My boyfriend and I got lucky last Saturday and beat the rush. There were actually TWO free tables when we decided to actually sit down for breakfast.
Some highlights:
-AMAZING coffee. And it's a refill-yourself kind of system, which I love.
-Croissant sandwich with ham, cheddar, and fig compote was to die for. Sweet, savory, salty...YUM.
-Omelette with chorizo and mushrooms was super savory and rich. Delish.
