| - Sophia's has by far the city's best brunch. It manages to have a dedicated following, despite only being open on Saturdays and Sundays and being the size of a walk-in closet.
Caveat: if you hate small spaces and hate having to share tables with others, and if you hate having to fight for seating, do not eat here! In my experience, the people who have negative feelings about this restaurant always have them because of the space, not the food. The restaurant is also sweltering in summer.
My favorite thing to order at Sophia's, actually the only thing I tend to order because i'm addicted to it, is the egg and cheese croissant. It is delicious. You can get it with bacon. It comes with a plentiful serving of fruit (and the earlier you get to Sophia's, the better the fruit is, as they tend to run out of the good stuff).
The omelets also tend to be delicious. The baked goods are stellar.
If I were going to deduct stars for this place, it would be for a couple of things:
-The ordering policy is really stupid considering what rigmarole there is to get seating in this small, crowded restaurant. You stand in line to order, then fight for seating, and then in order to pay, you have to go up to the counter again. Tip: do not wait in line again! Stand to the left, and the counter person will take your money.
-The second thing is more particular. I had always thought Sophia was committed to local/sustainable foods. I recently asked where the bacon comes from, and it is factory farm meat. I now question the origin of the eggs as well, though Sophia's is one of the few restaurants in town that uses real eggs in all of the dishes, and not Sysco egg product.
