    Breakfast sandwich
    Gretel Y.

    I liked Sophia's a brunch! A friend and I visited Sophia's for brunch on a weekday. We arrived just before 12pm. Parking can be challenging, but we lucked out and found a spot behind the building. The restaurant was busy and there was a short line, but it moved quickly. The space is open and bright. There's plenty of seating and I appreciated having a staff member dedicated to managing seating, even though it's a counter service setup. We ordered the following: Breakfast sandwiches with side of tots x2 French toast Sophia's signature lattes x2 The sandwich was delicious. The eggs were very fluffy and I enjoyed the sauce in the sandwich and in the tots, which I think were similar. The sandwich usually comes with bacon, but I requested no bacon in mine. The side of tots were crisped to perfection. The French toast was divine! Both the bread in the sandwiches and the French toast were wonderfully soft. The drinks were fantastic as well, not too sweet. I can't wait to return!

    I kept seeing the Cube French Toast all over my Instagram, so I figured it was a sign I had to go try it. We went on a Monday. Parking was a pain since the lot is small and there aren't many spots, but we eventually found one. The place is open and bright, with both indoor and outdoor seating. You order at the register, grab a number, and they bring the food to your table. The staff was pretty quick about clearing tables, so it wasn't too hard to find a spot while we waited. We ordered a cold brew, a decaf Americano, the Cube French Toast, an egg sandwich, and a breakfast burrito. Both the sandwich and burrito came with tater tots. Everything looked really nice presentation-wise. Next time, I'd probably ask for the syrup on the side with the French toast and skip the bacon on the egg sandwich. I tried it, I reviewed it, and I'd probably come back again.

    I would be down to come here again but only in the non-summer months. The line was pretty long which makes this place feel coveted and popular for sure. The food was ok, not overly impressed personally. But it was way too hot that day. Even inside of the restaurant was too hot since they just leave the door open.

    Swung by on a Wednesday morning around 11am and it was consistently busy! Good sign obviously. Cute place with retro-ish vibe. Limited seating inside, but plenty of additional seating outside if you're willing to fight the AZ heat. They do have evap coolers running to help though. Quickly glanced over the menu while in line and settled on the French toast, egg sandwich, and the quiche. My stand out favorites were the French toast and the quiche. Undeniably delicious! The tater tots that came with the egg sandwich were as close to crispy perfection as you can get in my opinion. We gobbled them up way too quickly. Outstanding food and service! Couple of influencers were there filming and interviewing staff as well. Noticed that staff were so accommodating to them. Much respect to this establishment.

    SOPHIA'S A BRUNCH CORNER @ MIDTOWN The egg sandwich was very filling and the salad was refreshing. There is a decent amount of outdoor seating but not much indoor. The place was very cute with many people going for brunch photos. Overall 4/5

    This place has gone viral but for good reason. My friend and I came here early to beat the line, around 9:00 on a Sunday. Only a few people in line, so less than 10 minutes waiting. We ordered a couple coffees, then split the egg sandwich and french toast. Looking around, a lot of people had the same idea haha. The milk bread used is light, airy, and has a nice crisp on the outside. The sandwich itself was so good but messy to split. A good messy though. French toast was the star. I don't think I could come back and not order it. I'm not even a fan of french toast typically so that in itself says enough. It's stuffed with the perfect amount of dulche de leche and every bite was fantastic. Even though this is counter order then sit down, all the workers were attentive and friendly.

    I don't even know where to start!! Service: amazing. Decor: beautiful. Food: bussilicious. We came at peak brunch time around 10:15 on a Saturday and there was a sizable line but it moved quickly and we ordered within 15 minutes. The food came out so quickly (like literally within 10 minutes of ordering) and there was a person directing us to a table after we ordered so weren't awkwardly waiting for people to leave. Now onto the food. Everyone raves about the french toast and I can see why. We expected it to be good but it was so moist, fluffy, and buttery that we ate the whole thing up. There was a slight saltiness and crisp got hr edges that just made it perfect. It is definitely super sweet and a treat though so it can be shared. The egg sandwich was also good but not much different from breakfast sandwiches we could get anywhere else. We just really liked the milk bread they used. The tater tots were awesome though. Perfectly crispy and salted. The coffee cake was good but could honestly be skipped. It was slightly dry at the edges and I wish the crumble on top was thicker. My friend also really liked her iced tea and said it was the perfect sweetness though. Overall, I would definitely be back!! I really want to try the corn waffle and crustless quiche next time :p Rating French toast: 5/5 Egg sandwich: 4.5/5 Tater tots: 5/5 Coffee cake: 4/5 Iced tea: 5/5

    This brunch spot is a must try in the valley. From the moment you walk in the restaurant it produces a fun and upscale vibe. The interior was very clean and so well decorated. Their patio area is huge and well shaded. They had an ample amount of parking for downtown. The customer service was outstanding for a restaurant where you order at the counter. I loved their rotating drink menu in addition to their regular drink menu. I got the waffle, bacon, and the strawberry matcha special. The waffle was delicious and well presented on the plate. I loved the The bacon was tasty. The matcha drink was also great. The blue corn waffle was well made and a large portion.i loved the honey butter with Chile. It was a sweet and savory dish. The service was fast and they did not rush customers despite the line. The music was good but not overly loud. I look forward to my next visit.

    Order then Sit

    Sophia's is absolutely worth the visit, but here's one piece of advice: arrive early! This place is incredibly popular, and if you show up later in the day, be prepared to stand in a long line under the blazing Arizona sun. The wait is worth it, though. If you're ordering, do yourself a favor and choose anything that includes the stuffed milk bread. It's soft, pillowy, and the perfect complement to the rest of the menu, making every bite even more memorable. Plan ahead, beat the crowds, and you'll be rewarded with a fantastic meal without the extra time in the heat. Sophia's has earned its popularity for a reason--I just recommend getting there early so you can spend more time enjoying the food than waiting for it!

    Quiche
    Durelle W.

    Finally made it and it wasn't overly crowded! We arrived about 9a and were greeted by an employee who instructed us to come to him and he will get us a table after we ordered. The French toast was all the hype, but not for me. It was too sweet for my liking. The quiche was tasty and enough to share. Loved the openness of the restaurant. I already want to go back to try more items!!!

    SO DELICIOUS BUT CRAZY! This place is so cute! However, even on a weekday the place is packed with a line to the sidewalk outside. It is hard for staff and customers to navigate around the restaurant. Staff seemed confused bringing food and drinks out, not sure where to go. One of my items got forgotten. However, everything was absolutely delicious. The breakfast burrito was dripping in chorizo flavor. The tater tots were perfectly crisp, with a delicious spicy aoli. The French toast with tres leches was to die for! And amazing aesthetic presentation too. My latte was strong yet sweet. The only negative food wise was my friends avocado was hard. All in all, I had a good time but it's way too crazy inside to enjoy it and for me to rush back here soon.

    Looking for a fun brunch spot with the girls or even a mid morning date I highly recommend checking out Sophia's the food was delightful and delicious, but the coffee was by far my favorite. Service was amazing our cashier gave us great recommendations on what to try.

    The Valley Latte & Strawberry Fields Matcha
    Pamela L.

    I was hesitant to make this my first meal upon landing in Phoenix. Many reviewers mentioned how packed this place can get but since I was landing hella early I figure we could beat the crowd. We got lucky, line was not too long. This place operates like Urth Caffé in L.A. Order at the counter, then you will be given a number stand, one of the staff members will seat you. You cannot have one of your party go grab a table. I asked to be seated outside. Even with the 105 heat, there are these strong fans with mist. You will not sweat. Here is what we ordered: - The Valley Latte - Strawberry Fields Matcha (don't know what they do to this Matcha drink, but it was insanely good. It tastes so different from all the other strawberry matchas I've ever had. Call me crazy but it kind of reminds me of tofu but in a good way). Lol. - French Toast (I felt so guilty but it was worth every bite. Inside is filled with Dulce Le Leche. Need I say more?). - Breakfast Fried Rice (love the avocado and fried egg. Warning, it has quite a kick to it). I am so coming back again the next time I visit my son. Parking is nuts, good luck. Entire staff is incredibly friendly! Opened since December 2025.

Even though there was a longer wait, the food and experience made it feel worth it. The smoked brisket Benedict is the standout. The brisket is tender with a deep, smoky flavor. The eggs are perfectly poached, and when everything comes together on the English muffin base, it hits that rich, savory-sweet balance without feeling too heavy. The French toast is Thick-cut and caramelized on the edges, without being overly sugary. It's well-complemented by fresh fruit and just enough syrup so it doesn't turn into dessert overload too early in the day. Overall, Brunch Snob feels like a spot that knows how to do comfort brunch.

    Great Group Dining Experience, But Reservations Are Highly Recommended…read more I recently visited Brunch Snob with my fitness group after our weekend session. For anyone planning a visit, please be aware that the wait times can be significant if you do not have a prior reservation. Fortunately, our large party of over 10 guests was able to utilize an indoor corner space to wait comfortably until our table was ready. Once we were seated, the service was excellent. The staff was incredibly patient and attentive while managing a table of our size.The food and beverage options were generally well-received, though there were a few minor details to note. One guest mentioned that the options for mimosa flights were somewhat limited. On the food side, my order of the Mexican Cowboy Bowl was excellent and prepared exactly as expected. While most of our group's orders were correct, one eggs Benedict arrived overcooked despite a specific request during ordering to avoid this. Given the size of our party, the guest chose to accept the dish rather than send it back. Billing Tip: For transparency, an automatic 20% gratuity was included in the final bill for our large group. I recommend double-checking your receipt to keep this in mind before adding any additional tips. Overall, it is a great brunch destination with quality dishes, but making a reservation ahead of time is highly advisable.

The interior is pretty long with a large number of seating inside the building so we had no trouble getting seated right away by the hostess. We decided on food relatively quickly due to previous experience with the business, however, our waiter never came around to take our orders or even give us water at the table. We saw one girl with dyed hair who unassumingly could have been our waiter since she was in our section but only worked with one particular table and ran to the back after each time, but never addressed our table or came by. We eventually had to flag a different waiter down who was able to help us place the order and service us for the rest of our visit, she also informed us that this other "Waiter" was supposed to help us but she wasn't sure why she never made an attempt to do so after having us wait 20 mins and other tables were being serviced. We ordered Flordian French Toast and Elote Breakfast Burrito (plus a couple sides and drink) which were both really good, and filling. Prices weren't too bad for what we ordered and was able to take our mind off of the rather long wait to get helped. Not sure if we'll come back to this particular location again, but it was nice trying the restaurant out another time.

Sometimes they are fresh but then other times they do not taste so fresh. They have plenty of parking and accessible parking with ramps. The environment can be loud depending on which day you go. The weekends tend to get packed and there is a line often during weekends. I'd say Lucis is family friendly. Be sure to keep an eye out on them. No running inside the building.
