everything was phenomenal - beautiful architecture with the usage of shapes in a way that wowed me Music was the perfect volume service was smiley and helpful - they handed me a menu in line - menu was thoughtfully designed and felt good in my hand with a matte finish I got a pastry and 2 cappuccinos - they sold me a chocolate croissant but were actually all out - so when the waitress came out she had brought 2 different options for me to try - one of which was her favorite . I tried that and it was so delicious - the "mess up" lead to an even greater opportunity for a hospitality moment and they crushed it. line was out the door and yet it moved quickly the GM Elizabeth had sat down next to me on her break but still asked me for feedback and asked how everything was going more than the first experience I had, I learned that management and leadership had a genuine care for my experience and growth mindset in getting better She shared with me that they have a "sell out" model, which I really like and appreciate. Instead of getting random meat or tortillas from the store down the street, they intentionally curate their quality of food and supplies. To ensure consistency, they let themselves be sold out for that day when they sell out. This may frustrate a few guests here and there but in the long run will help them win They are 5 weeks in and viral ... line out the door every day for nearly the entire 7 - 3 pm time Yet the teams attitude even on a random Wednesday was energetic, positive and forward moving The virality of this place will die down but the foundation of excellent service, food quality and beautiful architecture will remain Can't wait to be back read more

Sophia's A Brunch Counter - Cappuccino, pastry and Room for Good Things to Run Wild by Josh Nadeau - Desserts Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I'm almost afraid to give this place a perfect rating because it's already crowded--and honestly, I kind of want to keep it to myself. Ha! Seriously though, the food was delicious. We ordered the French toast, the baked eggs, and the American breakfast, and every dish was done just right. Great flavors, comforting portions, and clearly made with care. This is the kind of brunch spot you want to come back to again and again... even if you hesitate to tell too many people about it. We will be back to try the smoothies and the pastries. read more

We ventured down to Sophia's for our monthly book club meeting. It was a Saturday at 10am, I had read reviews so expected crazy parking and a line. Definitely lived up there! Parking is WILD but despite the line it did move really quickly. When we were in line an employee was handing out menus and giving the run down. You order at the counter and then you are seated at a table. DO NOT try and grab a table with your party in line. While I had doubts our magical table would appear just as we were done ordering it actually happened! Again, they were very busy and the system worked perfectly. TRUST IT. Everyone we encountered was really nice, answered questions about the menu and made recommendations. I had planned to order the viral egg sandwich on milk bread but the honey dill chicken sando looked delish so I ended up ordering that w/ a pecan maple roll, iced vanilla latte and a baguette to take home. My sando was just okay. It did not taste honey nor dill. The chicken did have a good crunch and was cooked perfectly but the sandwich was super bland. It did come with waffle fries, that were delicious. Definitely order a pastry. We had several different ones at the table and all delish. The baguette was also amazing. If they have them by the register buy one. I thought the value here was good. I only spent $40 w/ tip for all I ordered. The restaurant is a very open concept. Almost like you are seated on a covered patio. It is very loud inside, which did not make it a great book club choice. I'll be back and fight the parking one more time for the dang egg sandwich I should have gotten this time. read more

Checked out Sophia's this past Sunday around 1:30 & it was busy!!! Cool vibe on a beautiful Sunday and very busy but I must say very organized. Being as they recently opened it was packed but the staff did an excellent job of seating you rather quickly once it was your turn. We were handed a menu while waiting in line and got really excited about what we were going to order and unfortunately they ran out of ALL smoothies :( so had to get a coke instead. Everything looked great as I watched the food pass us by while we waited. I ordered the egg sandwich which is served on this amazing soft bread and comes with bacon, avocado, green onions and a slightly spicy sauce. I asked for bacon on the side as did my friend but it seems they forgot to give us any avocado which we didn't notice until the very end. The sandwich was still very good. The tots and that spicy type sauce is on point. We also got one of the fruit/custard pastries from Chaconne which btw just get a pastry they are all so good!!! Service was attentive if you needed anything we just had to wait a few moments. Check it out for yourself! Loved the light, decor, vibe. read more

Very cute new spot. I've been wanting to come for a while but the one time I tried several weeks ago I was put off by the long line out the door. We decided to come back on Sunday but we made sure to come early. Parking wasn't as hard but if you come later in the day it can be hard. I strongly recommend coming before 9 am. By the time we had ordered the line was significantly longer. You order at the counter and then they will seat you. Don't try to sit first and save a table because they have their own system which ensures fairness. I saw someone being asked to move. They have chaconne pastries along with coffee, matcha and smoothies. I had the French toast which was so delicious. I ate half only and split the baked eggs with my sister. I think the French toast can be too sweet if you have it all by yourself but it's so good which the Dulce de leche inside. The baked eggs were so unique, I haven't seen this done anywhere else. They add lemon peel and cabbage which I thought was very creative. I also had a smoothie - I think it was called elixir something. It had beetroot, lemon, ginger and it was very nourishing. Service was good. My only feedback would be that they really clear the table fast so this does not seem like the place to enjoy conversation after a meal. They're so busy so it feels like they want you to eat and then leave fast. They get bonus points for being dog friendly. I look forward to coming back and trying the corn waffle. read more

The service was very accommodating and friendly. They made sure my friend and I were helped and even asked if we needed sauces or anything they could get for us which is so sweet. I like the design of the place is very modern like Frank Lloyd Wright sort of architecture. The bathrooms are amazing I love how they designed them. FOOD is amazing. My breakfast burrito was so yummy. We even got some cupcakes and I'm not a huge cupcake fan but these ones were so moist and delicious. I'd only get these cupcakes because whatever they are doing is amazing. Was bummed we didn't get to try their French toast because it was sold out but at least now I know to come earlier! read more

Ambiance was the best part. The open air spaces are beautiful and nice decor. The coffees were also lovely. If only the food was up to par. We had the fried rice and the fried chicken schnitzel. Both were just ok. read more

I feel this spot is super cute and such a girly vibe. Clearly it's still pretty popular and trending from social media. We tried to go on Sunday for a birthday celebration. You pretty much have to wait in line to order your food and also wait for a table. We believe who was a manger was super helpful and friendly! She may have been the most accommodating person on the team. She even found a spot for us to sit and also brought me cute cupcake with a candle for my birthday. I really wish I knew her name she deserves recognition. We ended up ordering our food to go. Overall, I would try it out again but maybe just go with one to two people max. read more

I've been here a couple of times now and the trick is to go earlier in the morning to get a seat. This place is absolutely darling! Whoever designed this restaurant is a Genius because it is the coolest concept; split diagonally with glass in the middle indoor/outdoor. I've had the French toast, breakfast sandwich, breakfast fried rice, an almond cheese tart, and chocolate croissant. Their coffee is fabulous as well. Everything was delicious but the standout was the breakfast sandwich which comes with super crispy tater tots and some drizzle of yumminess on it. The breakfast fried rice is gluten free and so flavorful! My first bite of the French toast was delicious, however, it has quite a bit of dolce de Leche or caramel in between the layers and it was just too sweet for me. If you order, you might ask for it on the side instead. Not only is it such a great atmosphere to be in, the staff is so friendly. Polite, nice conversations and smiles. Courtesy and asking if we needed anything goes a long way. Love this place and hope the open up other locations soon!!! read more

I stopped in this morning for an iced Americano. The menu price is $4 but it came up as $5 on the POS. I pointed that out to the cashier and she called a man over (manager?) who corrected it on my order. They resolved it quickly and easily, so no problem there. My concern is how many people are unknowingly being overcharged every day, and how long has this been going on? If you're going there, I suggest you compare the menu price of whatever you order to the POS price so that you aren't being overcharged too. read more

What a great spot in Phoenix really close to the airport. Very accommodating since we had just landed in an early morning flight, waiting to check in to our Airbnb and they graciously let us in with our bags and let us keep them in a corner while we ordered as they kept and eye on it. The food was amazing. The egg sandwich that I got was scrumptious along with the tator tots. The mimosas we got for our bride on our bachelorette was refreshing and amazing! Great decor, pretty archway. Would recommend 100%! read more

Oh my goodness! Went two days in a row from how great this place was. The food was delicious and it's such a perfect brunch menu.

All the workers are so attentive and friendly, the service was amazing. read more

Sophia's A Brunch Counter - Egg Sandwich, French Toast, and BLT - Desserts Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

First time at Sophia's, and I'm so happy there's a spot within walking distance! We arrived around noon and waited about an hour to order and get our food. Unfortunately, they were sold out of the breakfast burrito and French toast. We ordered the breakfast sandwich, fingerling potatoes, schnitzel, and matcha with cold foam. The breakfast sandwich was great- the bread was amazing, and the spicy mayo really stood out. The fingerling potatoes were perfectly crispy. The schnitzel came topped with a really refreshing salad similar to a Caesar; while the chicken itself was a bit dry, it worked well when paired with the salad in each bite. The matchas were okay. The cold foam was an extra dollar, making each drink $9. As a matcha snob, I personally don't think it's worth the price, especially given the small amount of cold foam on top. That said, the ambience was amazing. I loved the aesthetic, and the indoor-outdoor concept is especially nice to have in Phoenix. I'd definitely come back to try the items we missed this time!! read more

We really liked Sophia's!! My mom and I came here this morning. We wanted to go early as we knew it was a popular spot. It was super cute inside. Lots of curved lines kind of looks like the 70s. We got there around 9:30 and there was a line but it wasn't crazy long. While waiting in line they bring you menus to peruse and explain how ordering/seating works. Anna helped us out and she was awesome! The line went pretty quick took us about 25 minutes to get to the front. Anna pulled us to the side and let us order through her. We decided to split an egg sandwich and the French toast and we both got a PB espresso martini. The martinis came out super quick and they were delicious! The pb tequila was such a unique taste and the flavor was rich and creamy. I would go back just for those!! The food came out shortly after. The tater tots that came with the sandwich were perfectly salty and addicting. The sandwich itself was good but the French toast stole the show. It was stuffed with Dulce de leche and topped with butter and flaky salt. It was perfectly sweet and the perfect end to breakfast. I will definitely be back! read more

Breakfast sandwich was quite delicious! Messy! But really good. Would be ordered again if the rest of the menu did not look so good. Baked eggs was also ordered and was a hit. That's what I'll get next time. Service was fast and friendly. I do wish it was on a quieter street...Thomas is so busy. read more

Place had a cool feel to it. Plan to wait in line 30 min maybe. The food is great! My GF and I got the stuffed French toast, egg sandwich and the burrito! All very good!

I think this place is really over hyped. The restaurant is really cute and aesthetic but the food doesn't live up to the standard unfortunately. There were pigeons all around the outside tables trying to get food from the ground. The breakfast burrito was just ground beef and eggs and the American breakfast I could have made at home, the toast was even stale. The food came out really fast so part of me thinks they already made the food, warmed it up and bring it to you. So just fast food breakfast. I probably will never go back! read more

Sophia's was highly rated and recommended. We wanted to try it out. The wait was pretty long but they had a system which I loved. It was nice to have someone looking for a table for you and not being too worried about finding a table. The food was good. If you can't handle too much sugar like us, I'd recommend asking to have the syrup for the French toast on the side. Since the French toast was sweet the pool of syrup under it was too much for us. The breakfast burrito was actually good, wish it was a little less salty but I think it was just bad luck that day with my meal. read more

Not sure this place knows what it wants to be. Has counter service and pastries like a cafe, but it's not a cafe - I'd be out of place doing work here. The girl at the cashier was uninviting and had the personality of a rock. Made me reconsider eating here before I paid. Food was a disappointment. Egg sandwich lacked flavor and came with cold cheese, cold eggs and avocado was placed on top and not in the sandwich. The French Toast was equally disappointing. Presented well but was dry and hard to eat. Best item we had was the chocolate smoothie. A nice atmosphere and smoothie wasn't worth the $50. read more

Good, but not great. This is a place to go and take pictures or be seen more than anything. They precook the eggs in giant batches (open kitchen) which I understand due to the long wait times but when you wait an hour in line and for the food, your expectations naturally go up. I do have to say I really enjoyed the French toast though. The burrito was beyond forgettable unfortunately with a really sus quality tortilla you expect to find far far away from the border. The cold brew coffee was basically water. Overall, I'd maybe come back when or if the hype ever dies down. The food is not worth the wait. They should probably figure out a better system for ordering to keep the lines down as well. read more

Get there early or plan to wait. It's a great little spot with lively vibe and great food. Parking is limited.

I had an uncomfortable experience here due to how a legitimate food safety concern was handled. While placing my order, I noticed a bee flying around inside the pastry display case. I calmly mentioned it to one employee, who acknowledged it but did not take action. When nothing changed, I mentioned it to another employee, who appeared to brush it off. Both employees then stepped away briefly and laughed about the situation within my view, which felt dismissive. When I reiterated that a bee inside an open pastry case is unsanitary, the response was defensive and dismissive. The employee said "fine" with an attitude and walked away to address it, all while being in the middle of my transaction. At that point, my order had been taken but payment had not yet been processed. Given the lack of professionalism and how the concern was handled, I chose to leave rather than complete the purchase. Addressing sanitation issues promptly and respectfully should not feel like an inconvenience to staff, and customers should not be mocked or spoken down to for raising reasonable concerns. Unfortunately, this experience made it clear this was not a place I felt comfortable giving my business. read more

100% worth the wait. Waited probably 35-45 minutes to order but then food came out quick after. The food was insane. Got the breakfast burrito, cinnamon roll, and then both a coffee and the matcha. Was AMAZING!! Place is so aesthetic and cute, lots of light and great vibe. read more

We were on vacation and this place was recommended to us. The line was out the door and we hesitated on staying. Glad we did, though we were ordered and sat with in an hour. The food came out quickly, great ambience, very hip and the food was delicious. We got the chicken sandwich and waffle fries, and the breakfast sandwich with tots. It was all piping hot, fresh and flavorful. Friendly, welcoming staff too. read more

Cute vibe and friendly serving staff. Food looks better than it tastes ("Baked eggs" is actually a bland frittata rather than actual baked eggs, breakfast sandwich falls apart in your hands and is a knife/fork situation). I figure they're new and hopefully get it dialed in. My only real complaint is that the influencer set got really obnoxious with how much space they took up in a very small seating area. (Plus it's really awkward trying to have a casual breakfast with a friend while people in full stage makeup are treating the place like a catalog shoot.) It's got a great location for me and they're clearly getting a buzz which is great for the neighborhood, so we'll keep be patrons and look forward to when everything settles in. read more

I've been waiting for this beautiful reclaimed building to open for months an be months. Inside is decorated very simply. Lay out is weird, small movable tables. Doesn't seem like it would be good for large groups, as it would be difficult to fit more than two entree plates per table. Music was way too loud to carry on a conversation and it was absolutely freezing. So cold inside that I was shaking while holding my latte. Counter service lends to a cheapening of the look of the place. I ordered the b breakfast burrito at the recommendation of the "host". Not sure why there was a host, since they don't seat you. I wish I could say it was good. I wish I could say it was bad. It was neither, just unmemorable. The salsa picante was so hot, it blew out my palate, which is why I may or may not have enjoyed the burrito. Portion of tots are freaking huge. Way too much (I know, complaining about too much is stupid) but it was. The vanilla latte with almond milk may be the very best latte I've ever had. I don't know what they did different compared to other coffee houses, but keep it up. Not sure if this one deserves a second chance. Overall, disappointing. read more

Wow wow wow!! This place is stunning! You immediately feel the chic and welcoming ambiance as soon as you pull up. The restaurant is designed as a fast casual style. You order at the counter are given a number and then brought your items. My partner and I decided to share the breakfast burrito and the breakfast fried rice. The burrito was overflowing with perfect chorizo and perfectly wrapped in a tasty tortilla. It was served with a side of tator tots topped with a chipotleish style sauce. The breakfast fried rice was an explosion of flavor. Large chunks of bacon, crunchy veggies and flavor packed fried rice all topped with an over medium egg! We had a PB espresso martini and a glass of cava. Both fairly priced at ~$14 and $10. The food was about $36 for the two items. Flor, the owner, was a great help from the moment we stepped inside. She gave us recommendations and made sure our meals and cocktails were just to our liking-- which they were! It was a pleasure to meet her. This place is exactly what Phoenix needs. A great new brunch spot at a fair price and leaves you wanting to come back. I can't wait to come back for the breakfast sandwich! read more
