    We headed to Sofra solely based on Yelp reviews and proximity to where we were. When we got there, the lines were almost out the door and both the inside and outside seating was practically filled to capacity. That is usually a good sign! We ordered the breakfast sandwich and the strawberry sweet cheese brioche. While we waited for our order, two seats at a communal table opened up, so we snagged them. My pastry was so good and my husband enjoyed his breakfast sandwich. The inside is quaint and lots of people were packed in there with the limited seating. They also sell prepackaged goods and sandwiches.

    I came to Sofra for Sunday morning brunch with a few friends. It was super busy, but we were able to find a table. If you're looking for a quiet spot to study or have an intimate conversation, this probably won't be the spot. You have to go up to the counter to order and then they'll give you a number to bring your food over once it's ready. From what I could tell, everything looked delicious. I couldn't decide on what to order, so I got one of the combo meze platters. Everything was delicious! My only gripe was that it didn't come with some kind of bread or bagel on the side, so I ordered a pita to go with it.

    There are a lot of downsides to Sofra. A bit out of the way, long wait times, limited seating especially in bad weather, high prices, and small portions. It remains as a local favorite because it's doing delicious and interesting middle eastern dishes in a way no other cafe in the area could compare to. If you want a little taste of the quality and care put in at Oleana and Sarma in a casual setting, give Sofra a try.

    A crapshoot whether you'll find a place to sit, inside is very limited and it started raining when I got there. But the food is so worth it. Absolutely delicious! Portions are small, so maybe order more than one thing, but the amazing flavor explosion is big!
