I really wanted to like Sophie. Really cute decor, nice bright colours, great music. It looks like everyone agrees on these things. It also looks like everyone agrees on the food.
We went in for lunch. My mum got salmon quiche and I got a baguette with caramelized onion and portobello mushroom. I'm pretty sure that my mum didn't see that both the quiche and the baguette were taken out of the display case and reheated for our meal, or else she would have talked about it all day.
The portions were on the small side, the baguette was stale and REALLY DO I HAVE TO EXPLAIN HOW WRONG IT IS THAT A SANDWICH COULD NOT BE MADE TO ORDER? Honestly, keep the onions and mushrooms in a container in the back and slap them on the baguette when I order it. Even make it ahead of time and hide it somewhere. But please don't wrap it in plastic and keep it in a display case so that it's really obvious that my food is not fresh. Also, there are 3 bakeries within a 10-minute walk. There is no excuse for not having fresh baked bread products when you have that kind of access.
I was disappointed, but hope that Sophie makes a few changes that aren't huge to execute but make a big difference.
