    American Breakfast
    Kathryn J.

    This place is incredible! They could rest on the cool location alone but they also have a unique menu and delicious food? They didn't need to do it all! First, the location- this cafe is in the Rockville air park. The restaurant has massive windows on every wall and a large outdoor patio. You could sit and watch the planes come and go for hours! Second, the menu- the owners have included some European and Norwegian foods! If you're looking for a classic full English breakfast, authentic Norwegian pancakes, or specific snacks and desserts, this is the place to go! Finally, the food- delicious! Beautiful! Incredible! We had three different dishes and they were each amazing. Add in excellent service and it was a perfect meal. This restaurant is also very family friendly, so you can bring your kids to watch the planes while you enjoy a delicious meal. Definitely recommend!

    Why have we not been here before? I can't wait to go back! It does get busy but we were seated quickly and chose to be outside. We loved watching the planes take off and land. If you looking for quiet this is not the place. It's not a bad noise and it's fun. We had a great view and were very comfortable. The staff are all professional and nice and the food was excellent. Good size portions. They also bake fresh new goodies on site that they sell. We tried their chocolate and peanut butter cookie which was yummy. We left very full, extremely satisfied and eager to return.

    When we first drove up we weren't sure if we were in the right place! It is indeed inside a small airport!! It was a really cool spot. The staff were nice. I can't remember our servers name but he was quirky(we loved his hat!) helpful, and he knew the menu well and was able to answer our questions. The owner stopped by our table with the cafes namesake. Sophie the goldendoodle. He was always aware of where she was to make sure she doesn't disturb anyone. Our table loved her and our chat with the owner. They were also able to accommodate some of our parties dietary restrictions with no fuss The food was really good. I had the Crogel sandwich. It was lovely!! Friends had eggs Benedict and enjoyed it. Poached eggs were more hard boiled but they enjoyed it anyway. I very much enjoyed the cafe and the outdoor seating I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area.

    I wouldn't say this this is Montgomery County's best kept secret because tons of us know about this place, but there are still a lot of people who have no idea that Cafe Sophie is this amazing Scandinavian gem nestled in an tiny airpark. If you have a hankering for some delish breakfast/brunch/lunch vittles than look no further than Sophie's. I had the most amazing french toast here last week. Seriously, I think it may have been the best I've had in my life and I'm an old man. It was a daily special so I'm not sure I'll ever be able to have it again but alas...at least I can say I had it once. The staff here are also amazing. Kind and helpful...what more could you ask for. I really love this place and wish that I didn't love 45 minutes away but in the end, it's always worth it. Try them out...especially for breakfast. You won't be disappointed.

    We had an excellent Saturday morning breakfast out on the patio - in addition to the amazing food, there is also lots to see as small planes are constantly coming in and taking off. Despite that, we were still able to converse just fine in normal voices. We were able to enjoy some of the fresh, delicious pastries as well - but don't wait to order! After we finished our breakfast, some of the selections had already sold out. The Pannekaker (think crepes) were delicious - definitely recommend ordering them with fruit. I really enjoyed the Smorbrod open faced roast beef - very hearty and filling, fresh and delicious. I also like that all the coffee and tea here is served in a wide variety of colorful ceramic mugs - the only way to enjoy a hot drink! This is a great spot for families with kids, or for anyone looking for great food and a unique atmosphere!

    Still yummy, still warm and hospitable service, and still cozy ambiance. Nom nom nom!

    A search for a breakfast spot led a friend and I to Cafe Sophie. We arrived just as they opened on Mother's Day morning and were quickly seated out on the patio. We were able to watch as planes took off and landed as we caught up and enjoyed our breakfast of pannekakers and iced teas. A great spot for watching the planes and enjoying the beauty of this spring morning!

    Good food, great service, fun view I got the English breakfast and a cup of tea. The English breakfast was great, but needed a little salt. It made for the perfect English experience.

    Crogal
    Alea V.

    I wanted to try the crogal to compare it to some of the others I've had. Overall the sandwich was nice but a bit overpriced for that you got. It also didn't have some of the herbs in other crogals I've had. My husband had the pancake and said it was good but very dense. The staff was friendly and service was quick. The decor was a little lacking and the building itself smells very old, but that can't be helped considering the location. Overall I'm happy I went

    Baguette Sandwich
    Lisa G.

    This has potential and I can see the appeal. It's a cool concept to have a cafe at the small Airpark, where you can eat brunch and watch the airplanes. This experience lost one star for service. We waited several minutes awkwardly at the narrow entrance waiting to be greeted and sat. We ordered water to drink. I was first and asked for water with lemon. She specifically asked if I wanted ice and I said yes. We got four glasses of water, all with no ice. My husband ordered a coffee, which never came. I asked for her opinion on two sandwiches and she said she hadn't tried them. I selected the baguette sandwich. The menu was confusing, because I didn't realize it's prosciutto and jarlsberg or turkey and Brie with lingonberries. Why not just have two separate sandwich listings. Onto the food. I opted for the prosciutto sandwich. It desperately needed some moisture. I added some of my husband's dressed side salad and that improved it greatly. I think it needs a side item too. Half of the sandwich with some sauce plus a cup of fresh fruit would be great. My daughter got a cheeseburger. They were out of cheddar, so we asked what other cheese options and the waitress struggled a little. She opted for provolone. Her burger was tasty but so buttery that she needed extra napkins. My mom selected steak and eggs and my husband got a chicken parm sandwich. Maybe we didn't read it correctly, because it wasn't quite what he expected. It tasted okay. I might go back and sit on the sunny patio and get coffee and simple breakfast.

    This place is really more of a 3.5* spot for me but I appreciate the home style feel and how it (I think) is family run. What we got: Kjottkaker - 3* not everything I thought it'd be. I was expecting it to be a bit more flavorful. Adding salt and pepper to the potatoes helped. The mushy peas were no as tasty as I remember them being in England. I do thing this dish would be better if it came with toast and then put the lingonberry sauce on that instead. Roasted Potatoes & Egg Skillet - 4* good flavor! We're not chefs but the eggs seemed more over medium than poached but they were still delicious. The brioche bread though, that was amazing. They sell it by the loaves so we bought one.

    This was my second time dining at Ted's and it was great. I took my parents here for breakfast when…read morethey came to visit and they loved it. The service was great. I was a little apprehensive that we would have to wait to get a table but the hostess took us right away. We sat outside because we had my dog with us. Our waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. However, she kept forgetting the small things, like glasses of water and sugar for our coffee. When she brought us the sugar each time she would only give us three packets and their were three of us at the table drinking coffee and tea. So that was pretty annoying. The food was good. We usually go to Silver Diner but this was a good change of pace. I ordered the French Toast with Bacon and eggs. It was good, I wish they used different bread for the toast though. Their wasn't really anything special about the dish. My parents ordered the Make Your Mark which included two eggs, meat, hashbrowns, and toast. They both enjoyed their breakfast. Everything was prepared and cooked to their liking. Overall, we had a good experience. Not sure when I will be back. But if you are in the area check them out. Cheers!

They quickly brought out a new waffle. My son ate most of it then asked what's this paper inside the waffle. They had somehow cooked a nutritional label inside the waffle.

Reasonable gesture but not interested in eating there even for free.

    I have not been here since they changed their name. It was formerly Charley Prime Foods. However,…read morethe food, service, and ambiance is still great. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the hostess who was very friendly. We arrived a bit late like 8pm and they close at 9 but luckily we were still able to be seated. Next, our waiter came over. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. He gave great suggestions for drinks, and food. We ordered a sidecar, and Oaxacan Anticuado. The side car was bit strong but delicious and the Oaxacan Anticuado was a great play on an old fashioned. Charley's is known for their whisky cocktails so it was nice to experience a great drink that was not whisky. For appetizers we ordered a dozen of the half shell oysters. 6 of them were sweet and the remaining oysters were a little salty. I really enjoyed the sweet oysters. It was my first time tasting sweet oysters. They were prepared correctly and very enjoyable. For our entrees we ordered the catch of the day which was Halibat Fish with spinach and The grilled Za'tar crusted salmon with a loaded baked potato. Both of the fish were cooked to perfection and had great flavors. Overall, it was a great experience. They offer many seafood options. So if you are looking for a new seafood restaurant I highly recommend Charley's. I will be back soon. Cheers!

    We came here for a Mother's Day weekend celebration, expecting high-quality steak and seafood…read more Instead, it was a massive disappointment. We ordered nearly every premium item on the menu--from the fried oyster appetizer to the crab cakes and various entrées--and none of it delivered. The red flags started early: the staff mentioned a recent menu change but knew nothing about it, and spent most of their time loitering and joking around. When the food arrived, the presentation was poor, and the taste was extremely below average. Paying a premium price for this quality is unacceptable. This was apparently their second menu since a recent remodel, but if things don't change, they won't last. Message to ownership: shut it down, fire the executive chef, and start over.

I have to say, though busy, the service didn't miss a beat. Jenn - our server - was attentive/kind and fun. I got the filet mignon with the compound butter and my homie got some BBRibs to complement the aforementioned cornbread. The food came out fast and we got to eating. As always with every time I've been here, it slapped. Sides were solid, the steak was cooked to perfection and them ribs were disappearing off the plate! Good times. We followed up our entrees with a solid - and I mean solid - bread pudding. Jeez, this thing is decadent, but we got after it. Jenn brought us a scoop of ice cream and we went to town! Delicious. If you've got a sweet tooth, do yourself a favor and grab the Bread Pudding. It was soft, pillowy, but sweet (not overly sweet) and filling. As for ambiance, again, we were kickin it patio side and could see the water just fine. Honestly, this was a dope backdrop for our super deep convo on Frank Ocean vs. Frankie Beverley.

Absolutely fresh, flavorful, and delicious. I had the rainbow trout with spinach and mashed potatoes. The fish was fresh, light, and tasty. The trout itself was a very generous portion. For dessert, we dove into their Chocolate Uprising: Sort of like a ice cream sandwich on steroids with heavy cream and a chocolate and caramel base. It was fantastic and insane and we just couldn't finish it! I cannot remember having caramel that good (not sweet but rich). The staff is excellent. They work so well in concert from running food to clearing dishes. The bartenders are outstanding. I had a perfect Hendrick's Gin martini with blue cheese stuffed olives and my girlfriend loved her Malibu Bay Breeze. We look forward to returning -- and we'll start with the Chocolate Uprising and go from there!

The portions were generous, especially the Big Eaters Platter, making it a solid choice if you're coming in hungry.

Nothing we ordered was bad, but nothing really stood out enough to make me want to come back. The quality was solid, but I left feeling like there are better breakfast options in the area for the same price point. If you work nearby or are visiting one of the surrounding medical offices or hospitals, I could definitely see this being a convenient spot for a quick breakfast or lunch. However, as someone visiting the area, I don't think it's a place I'd go out of my way to return to. Overall, friendly service and a clean restaurant helped make for a pleasant experience, but the food didn't quite justify the price. A good neighborhood café if you're close by, but probably not a destination breakfast spot.
