Sofra Bakery & Cafe

I bought $60 of pastries at Sofra today. My first visit. The praline pecan croissant was very tasty, but the 3 rhubarb pastry were not proofed properly and unfortunately had an undercooked dough. I bought 3 of these at $5 per, so not very happy about spending $15 on uncooked pastry. Do you see the condensed mass of dough. This is supposed to be fluffy and cooked on the bottom. Whoever is in charge of this pastry doesn’t know how to make this.

You can get breakfast and your lunch/brunch at this place. They have great pastries and sweets along with savory pita wraps. They also have a little grocery that sells spices, teas, and even cookbooks. The outdoor seating is a little cramped but it's also a nice place to take out. Even on a Sunday morning the wait wasn't too long. They keep things moving.

There are too many delicious options to choose from, plus the staff is very friendly despite being so busy. We went on a Sunday morning and it was very crowded, so you have to be prepared for a long line, but it's worth it. Everything is so good. We ordered shakshuka, turkish style breakfast, simit and turkish au lait. Everything was great!

The food. I can't. This place keeps giving and giving. I'll wait in your line and freez my butts off! Turkish breakfast is a symphony of flavors and textures, from fresh crisp cukes to goat cheese cubes fried to perfection. Did I tell you about that gorgeous nested egg with a sunshine of a gooey center. How do you make something so seemingly simple so exciting and life changing?! The pastries are a phenomenal blend of unique combinations, my fav is that tahini doughnut. The egg sandwich has recently changed, with addition of homemade zoug- still perfect. I want it now and always. All of it. Much love to you and the whole Trifecta.
