The place is stunning. The small touches are thoughtful...serve yourself coffee refills and water, nice thick napkins and sugar cubes served with the hot coffee. You certainly feel the hospitality. The French toast is the star of their menu, add the cold brew coffee and it is perfection. I have tried the breakfast fried rice, the super veggie, the egg sandwich with tater tots, the breakfast burrito, the chai tea and the Everly's smoothie. Everything comes out looking beautiful but they were all just ok. Sophia's atmosphere is spectacular and I can see why it is so busy on the weekends. We prefer to go on a weekday morning, there generally aren't the large crowds and long waits. read more

We had wanted to go to Sophia's and actually made a couple of attempts, but as you'll see from my video, this place gets seriously long line. In the past we've just gone someplace else and vowed to come earlier in the day to avoid the line. We got up early-ish for a Saturday morning and made our way to Phoenix. I really love this building which was repurposed from an old house from the 1940s era. There's a glass wall that completely opens that runs diagonal across the building, and a patio with giant shades. A long silver communal table runs down the middle of the room and there are lots of little tables dotted around. Although this place is nearly designed, it has a fantastic retro look with white globe lights. They're also lots of plants and the place just feels bright and airy. There is a glass case with delicious looking pastries, and although there's no official bar, they do serve some cocktails like mimosas. We arrived at 9:00 and the line was already relatively long. My son grabbed a table while I got in line to order the counter - - this is a place where you order at the counter and they'll bring you your food when it's ready. We ordered an iced vanilla latte, a pecan sticky bun, chicken schnitzel which came with Caesar salad, and a honey Dill chicken sando. There was a mix-up, which I fully take responsibility for, and we did not receive the chicken sando - - again, my fault. We asked one of the servers about it and we learned it was never added to our order. No worries though, because the schnitzel and Caesar salad was gigantic and we ended up splitting that and the sticky bun. It was plenty of food for us. I have to give kudos because when we were out in the parking lot, the manager came out to hand us a gift card for the inconvenience of not having the chicken sando added to our order. It was not a big deal and it was my fault, but she was very kind and gave it to me anyway. I 100% recommend Sophia's, just come prepared to wait in line. It's worth it. read more

After all the posts on social media, we had to come check Sophia's out. We went this past Sunday morning. Upon arriving around 9:30am, there was a line out the door to order food. However, it moved pretty quickly. I'd say we waited about 20-25 minutes. After ordering, we were told to pick any open seats and that our food would be brought to us. Surprisingly, the food did not take long. It was probably about 40 minutes from the time we arrived to receiving our food, which is not terrible considering how busy this place gets. We ordered a breakfast burrito, an american breakfast, and a French toast, a cold brew, and a honey bee latte. The food was delicious. However, the coffee wasn't so great. It tasted somewhat watered down, hence why I'm only giving four stars. Other than that, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The restaurant's vibes were also really nice. read more

Hubs and I heard about Sophie's and had to give it a try. Everything sounded delicious. We ordered their famous French toast and their egg sandwich with a side of eggs. This was absolutely delicious! French toast was on the sweeter side but tasty. The egg sandwich was filling but a bit messy to eat. The tater tots and the spicy mayo sauce were the winner for me. This place gets packed! We arrived on a Saturday morning for breakfast around 8ish and we were lucky to find parking right away. There is seating inside and outside. Order your food and then find a table. Food will be delivered to you. Service was friendly and quick. We will definitely come back! read more

This was a pleasant surprise! Originally had plans for another spot but that place was closed so a quick search and this place was an option. Met with a friend here and we were greeted as we entered. Super cute layout, all open to the outside, which may get a bit harsh with the warmer temps but it was comfortable in the morning. Limited parking next to them, but was able to grab a spot. Walked over to the line where they had menus to look over. Everything sounded great! Opted for the breakfast burrito with an iced vanilla latte. They also had pastries so we obviously had to try two! The cashier was very nice and helped us decide between 2 pastries. Got our number and found a table in some shade. Drinks came first and my vanilla latte was great! The berry danish was fresh, sweet, and refreshing! My breakfast burrito came an it was amazing. Full of eggs, chorizo, and cheese, albeit not overflowing. It was served with these super delicious and crispy tater tots that I wish I had ordered an extra side to go! There was a side of this salsa that I personally was not a fan of, but they did have a station with other hot sauces & cups of water you can grab! Great experience, attentive staff, will definitely be back, even if it's just to order something to go! read more

Came on a Thursday at 11 and line was still long but not bad . Always expect a line . One thing I do love is how the servers give you a table and the table aren't first come first serve because people could easily have their party grab a table while they wait in line so them giving you a table is supper nice . Of course the vibe is very nice in there, calm and great music . With it being so busy the servers also don't rush you the service was polite and smooth . Food is good , averagely priced so can't complain . French toast was yummy and I ate the breakfast burrito and the potatoes with the sauce .... Fireeeee . Everyone enjoyed their food and experience so how could I not give 5 stars . Miss Sophia will be seeing me again read more

This place is POPPIN. We came at 9:30am On Sunday and there was a big line- thankfully it went fast but my friend who showed up at 9:45 had to wait 20-30 minutes longer than we did to place her order. So COME early especially on a weekend. The ambiance is incredible!! We LOVED the open views it was so unique. The staff was super friendly- shoutout to MAY! She ensured we got seated right away and then grabbed us a table. I got the breakfast burrito which was just OK- but I did enjoy the tator tots on the side and my Cinnabon roll was super yummy! If I'm in the area again I'd love to try something else! A very cute brunch spot read more

Met up with friends here on Sunday and we we enjoyed our visit. The line was long when we arrived but it moved pretty quickly. The restaurant is beautiful and has a nice open concept. The decor and colors all go well and gives it a clean welcoming vibe. I ordered the BLT sandwich with an iced black tea chai + vanilla. The rest of our orders included an American breakfast, an egg sandwich, and the honey dill chicken sandwich. For pastries we shared one French toast, one cinnamon roll, and one Guava pastry. The pastries were all delicious. The French toast and cinnamon roll were my favorite. The French toast was served warm, it was fluffy, and had the right amount of butter on top. I really enjoyed my BLT sandwich as the bacon was delicious. The waffle fries it came with were flavorful and crispy. Service was great, everyone was friendly. Dont panic for a table, the employees will seat you after you have ordered! Overall, totally recommend. read more

Came here with moderate expectations and left feeling pretty neutral overall. The atmosphere at Sophia's is nice and has a welcoming vibe, which I appreciated. The service was good, employees were friendly, though a bit inconsistent with timing of the food. The food was okay. Some were enjoyable and well presented, but others felt a little underwhelming when it came to flavor and execution. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out either. It's a decent spot nearby phoenix airport if you are looking for something casual. I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to come back. Overall, a fair 3 out of 5 stars experience. The parking situation gets a little crazy and shortly after we arrived there was a line formed out the doors read more

I've been so excited to finally come here since it's opened, and it totally didn't disappoint! As soon as I ran out the corner and drove up into the parking lot, I noticed there was a huge line which I was not surprised since it's only been a few months since opening. I did have to park pretty far down the lot, but there were definitely still plenty of spots left in the area. I waited in line about 45 minutes and this was around 10 AM. This was all good, because my eyes certainly had a feast upon the brilliant retro-modern decor and airy ambiance. Right before we reached the counter, an employee seated us to order through her. I'm assuming they split everyone near the counter whether it's a to go or a sitdown order? Nonetheless, we were glad that it was seating by a waitress since we were worried that finding a spot was going to be a challenge. I got the Matcha martini and the waffle, which was corn based I believe. Absolutely scrumptious!! The Matcha martini had a very deep Matcha flavor and it wasn't overly sweet, which was exactly how I liked it! 10/10!! The waffle was equally just as good as it was corn flavor, so it had a slightly savory profile to balance its sweet toppings. I couldn't get enough!! I'm excited to come back to try the rest of its menu. They partner with local foods like Provision and Noble Bread! Classic Arizona faves. The coffee on the menu was also very reasonably priced! read more

This spot came highly recommended and sadly the food was not it. We live in an age where beautiful Instagrammable spots get a lot of attention because of the esthetics seem to outweigh the main character which, in my opinion, is the food. Don't get me wrong, this spot is too cute. Nostalgic of California vibes, the place was clean, the staff were very attentive and professional. Plus, the bathrooms were clean also. So I will give credit where credit is due. However, the Breakfast fried rice was very much lacking. I heard and thought it would be all the rage but the rice did not seem to be fully cooked and tried to add hot sauce, spicy mayo, anything to help the flavor but it did not help. We also tried the Breakfast sandwich with the side of tater tots and spicy mayo. The tots won the show and thats saying a lot considering they were overdone. But that spicy mayo was the great assist. Maybe it was the day, a Saturday or the time we went, the afternoon, maybe it was the triple digits that had something to do with the Breakfast fried rice not hitting the spot. But definitely give Sophia's a 10/10 for their presentation abilities and customer service. read more

Sophia's A Brunch Counter - Its a Brunch, Breakfast Fried rice, egg on the side and Breakfast Sandwich with tater tots and hot chocolate. - Desserts Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

A nice breakfast out! Cute business with thoughtful touches of decor and color inside and out. Very busy on Sunday morning with limited parking available. The wait in line was about 25 mins, but it wasn't too bad. The staff are very kind and attentive, running food to tables, checking on guests, and someone helping find an open table which was really helpful since it was so busy. We ordered the fried rice and breakfast burrito to eat and an iced dirty chai and latte to drink. Our drinks were delicious. The burrito was very basic so I would like to try something else next time, but it came with a side of tots so that was a nice perk. A nice place to grab some food. I wasn't wowed by anything here, but I am glad I came to check it out. read more

Sophia's A Brunch Counter - Corn masa waffle with chipotle butter - Desserts Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

If you're a carb lover, this new Phoenix brunch spot is about to become your favorite. From pastries to French toast to breakfast sandwiches, they truly don't miss. The vibe is modern, colorful, artistic, and super bright. Perfect for a laid-back weekend brunch. It's outdoor seating only, and you order at the front before the staff seats you (sometimes at community tables, so you might end up brunching next to strangers). Service was friendly and welcoming, and the food was spectacular. Honestly, not a single bad dish. The French toast was decadent, buttery, soft in the middle with perfectly crisp edges. The breakfast sandwich was delicious and beautifully plated (a little on the heavy side, but worth it). And the tater tots? Perfectly fried with a super yummy dipping sauce. Pro tip: get there early. By 10am on weekends the line wraps around the building. My only tiny critique (because I'm picky): the coffee syrups are Torani, which is a bit of a bummer. But aside from that, this spot is superb! read more

Sophia's on Thomas: Beach-Side vibe in the desert I love it that coffee shops are becoming destinations!!! I am not one to shy away from experiences! I am enjoying taking a Coffee Tour around the city! Honestly, most coffee shops have a similar feel. Most of them do things right: be inviting, comfortable, and create an amazing social space. But, I recently had another design-genius-with-a-latte-machine moment in this architectural marvel. The Unique Detail: This structure is one of the most aesthetically pleasing spaces in Phoenix. I kept thinking how amazing this building would look right on the beach! It has that breezy, high-end coastal feel that makes you forget you're in the desert. The Pro-Tip: I went at 7:00 AM on a weekday morning, so I didn't have to endure the long lines and the crowd that descends on Sophia's over the weekend. Who says Brunch is just for the weekend? If you are following my #PHXCoffeeShopTour, then you know, I am a plain Cappuccino kind of person. Nothing exciting about drinks for me, but this was the best one I've had in quite a while! They used Provision coffee for a double shot in a small cup--the coffee-to-milk ratio was absolute perfection. Well-balanced and flavorful without being overpowering. The Food: I opted for the Salmon and Quinoa bowl to keep it healthy. While I'm not the biggest quinoa fan, I wanted to kiss the chef for that salmon! It was cooked to perfection with the kind of lovely crust only a skilled chef can pull off. Next time, I'll just pair that salmon with something else. Return Factor: 100% More to come from my coffee shop tour! #PHXCoffeeShopTour #1CupAtATime read more

Will wake up early for Sophia's! Wanted to beat the rush so stopped in for an early breakfast with my bestie. We shared both the Breakfast sandwich and breakfast burrito. I'm not the biggest chorizo fan so the breakfast sandwich was the winner for me. The buttery toasted milk bread was soo good. Both came with a side of crispy tots topped with an aioli. A 10/10 breakfast. The restaurant is stunning and i adore the indoor / outdoor concept. Definitely a must try! read more

Fully expected a brunch place that was just here for the vibes. Came out incredibly satisfied with the food, service, and overall experience. Located next to the Beadle building on Thomas, Sophia's mimics the design with a metallic exterior while introducing beautiful arches, soft earthy tones, and an open-air environment. It's worth a visit for the building alone (don't forget to check out the restroom), but I was so impressed by the food!! The hidden gem: Sophia's Burger. I know this is a brunch spot, but you can't miss out. As someone who has only occasionally *liked* burgers, I can honestly say I *love* a burger for the first time. The quality and cook of the beef, with a bit of pink, was superb. There's a perfect ratio of caramelized onions, comté cheese, and oniony sauce (no drowning in ketchup or mayo!!). And the fries were SO crisp and well-seasoned. The ever-so-popular French toast was a hit too. The caramel interior was deliciously rich, and the bread was soft but not soggy. It's incredibly sweet as French toasts often are, so I recommend sharing, but it's a nice decadent treat. Service seems to have found its flow, and we were quickly guided to an open seat on a busy Friday after ordering. Water and utensils are conveniently ready at a clean station. This is certain to make me visit my boyfriend next door more often :') read more

We went straight from the airport to Sophia's - pretty hungry fam. There was quite a long line from the counter to almost the street but the line was moving so I thought. The issue is there is only one cashier causing such a huge bottleneck. We waited for almost an hour before we got to order our food. The food was just average although I do like the French toast but not for an hour wait. Fried rice was hearty meal but I didn't love kimchi taste (which I usually enjoy). We were also seated for 4 in a very tiny table by what looked like the owner or the manager instead of letting choose our own table where we feel comfortable. I thought that was so odd. One thing I do appreciate is the iced water dispenser which is super convenient. Overall not impressed. read more

What a unique and fun place to visit! We decided to hold our small team meeting here for brunch and not knowing what to expect, two of us arrived first and found a table on the patio. We really wanted to be inside just because it was a tad cool and eventually a table inside opened up so I skirted over to claim it. The server came and cleared the table but never came back to wash the table. I just used a couple of napkins to sweep off the crumbs. And little did we know but eventually the entire glass wall was opened up and it was just like sitting out on the patio! I also want to mention parking! It is tight and not easy to find a spot and we discovered that you could park in empty spots over at the office building next door but it was a small parking area for sure! Very small place with limited table and counter seating. You line up and order, are given a table number and food is brought to you. Everyone was friendly and attentive. Seemed a bit unorganized at times but it seems to work for them! I noticed that when servers brought meals to the tables, they never picked up the little table numbers and then a bit later one of the workers came around and picked up all of the numbers from the various tables...interesting and wondered if it would work better to serve the table, grab the number plate and take it back to the serving counter. Ok, shrugs! They have a very limited menu but what they offer is spectacular! I decided to have the egg sandwich, which comes with this magnificent, very tender milk bread with egg, bacon, cheese, avocado, and a mayo spread that says spicy but wasn't in the least. Comes with a small cup of fried tots that have some of this same spread over the top. The presentation of the sandwich was like I've never seen...see the photos! I was so pleased and look forward to another visit to try something else! I also asked for iced black tea which turns out to be more like a mango or passion fruit flavored tea and was really nice. I also got one of the maple pecan muffins, which they call "handpies" to go for the wife. They have a great case full of handpies and other wonderful looking pastry-type goodies. Service was quick once ordered and when we asked about crowds we were told that weekends typically have a line around the building...I can see why! Really wonderful find! read more

This indoor outside seating brunch place had the best vibes, the ambiance is so cute and I love their music playlist. Service is very nice and helpful with helping us find a seat. Went around 8:30am on Sunday and the line was pretty fast. Food didn't take too long and was absolutely delicious with the aesthetic presentation.

This spot was so incredibly cute! When we arrived on Sunday morning around 11:30 and boy was it packed on a perfect sunny day. The crowd wrapped around the corner of the entrance and folks sat outside feeling the bright sun on their happy faces. There was a lovely lady walking down the line apologizing for the delay and wait but there was no need for us, as we were enjoying spending time together in line, as I came with my MIL and daughter. It was so sweet. The foods looked incredible coming out and on people's tables so we were able to largely see a visual menu, which was so cool. We ordered a good amount of to go goodies and for brunch we had French toast and the breakfast fried rice and the Everly smoothie. I didn't get it but saw it a few times, the salmon, and knowing it's coming from Chula Seafood as one of their local partners - I'm sold. Overall experience was fantastic, delicious food, great service, attention to details, and the stickers they have that are free are soooo cute. I understand why the trend and how it got so popular and viral. But it's worth it and I'd wait again in that 45 min line to enjoy! Great work to the staff and owners- a gem of a brunch spot. read more

Upon arriving, we were greeted by a host which led us to the line to order our food and then he would place us somewhere to sit. Their food and coffee menu are very easy to navigate. They also do offer some pastries which also looked. I got the honey Dilly chicken Sando, and honestly the sandwich was was pretty good. It came with a side of waffle fries which were also decently good. 8/10 I also got a cappuccino, which was also pretty good. You can really taste the espresso beans and had a really good coffee flavor. I do like my coffee hot and I felt like this one was sitting out before it got to my table. 6/10 The restaurant has a really cool layout, which is perfect for brunch and aesthetic pictures. They also offer a little sidebar, which has salt, pepper, hot sauce, sauces, coffee, water, napkins, and it serve yourself. The parking lot situation is a little bit crazy as there's so much parking spots available as it was busy inside thankfully we parked alongside the wall, but keep that in mind. It is widely open and we came out a perfect timing when it wasn't hot outside otherwise I don't know how good of an experience it would've been with the temperatures here in Phoenix. overall experience here at Sophia's was an 8/10!! read more

10/10, don't walk, run to this beautiful establishment I highly recommend it! Parking is rough! If I didn't get lucky to find a spot, I may have had to look a round a bit to find it; you might too. Service is excellent! Everyone looks happy to be there, staff was friendly, and the sense of urgency that you could feel through the staff really shows they care about the work they do. That is truly beautiful, remarkable, and management should be proud of their employees. The food was a home run! They have menus out so you can take your time and hop in line to order. I got the Breakfast Fried Rice & Danish. I did notice Bees flying around the sweet pastry; typically I'd think that maybe concerning but with how beautiful this restaurant is it was kind of magical and fit the theme. The Bees may be an issue for people who are allergic to pollen or bees, but until it becomes a problem I think it's magical. This restaurant is hands down gorgeous! The most beautiful restaurant I've eaten in. There is so much exposure to natural light, fresh air, if I was walking down the street and saw it I would walk right in. This is an excellent spot for a date, a reunion, and/or treating yourself. I believe you everyone should try this! read more

I will be dreaming about this French toast for the rest of my life! Soo buttery and soft with a dulce de leche like center that paired perfectly with the bread. It tastes even better than it looks and it's beautiful so that says something. The rest of my food was fantastic too! I liked the breakfast fried rice, it had a really good flavor and I liked the kimchi. The breakfast sandwich was hard to pick up and eat but the eggs were fluffy and the bread was soft, a fork worked just fine when it came apart a bit. They run this place like a well oiled machine, no sitting down before you order (thankfully, otherwise there'd be no tables), they bus plates quickly, and everyone is friendly. Also, the place is stunning. Helloooo green marble, I need you in my house. Anyway, sometimes in Scottsdale you get aesthetic vibes and bad food, but here you get great vibes and really fantastic food. I highly recommend checking out Sophia's. It's worth the hype read more

A unique looking brunch spot the moment you pull into the parking lot as it's a nice open air seating area that you walk up to. You line up to order first and the host will help get you situated at a table. It's definitely a popular spot as this place was packed when I visited. The menu had a good brunch selection to choose from and visually everything looked quite photo worthy. The egg sandwich was delicious and the tater tots with the sauce was almost right. Unfortunately they were fried for too long and were overly crispy so when biting into them you lose most of the flavor and just get a bunch of crunchiness. read more

The food is great and environment is really cool. Portion sizes are generous and there is a good variety of drinks (alcoholic, coffee, etc. I ended up taking things to go and got the breakfast burrito. The chorizo in it was flavorful and the tater tot side was a large portion. I also got one of their pastries which was light and chocolatey. The staff are all very friendly! Parking can be a difficult to navigate as the parking lot is a little small. Additionally, the seating is limited when it is really busy. I'm curious how seating would be during the summer months, especially outside, as the space is a little limited. Overall, this is the next really cool brunch place to check out in Phoenix! read more

Super cute brunch spot. I've come twice and waited in line for about 20 minutes each time. Got a table easily because the staff is constantly turning over tables. Such a clean spot that is very aesthetically pleasing. The food itself is acceptable. The Caesar salad was acceptable, but the fried rice is a little dry. My favorite item was a chicken sandwich which was juicy and flavorful. Their coffee is good, but the Matcha was just OK, but matcha is hard to do. My friend got a beet smoothie which I did not like but it sounds healthy. We'll definitely bring more people here for the vibes but the food is definitely just okay. read more

I came in after seeing this place everywhere. The line was long and goes through the restaurant. We waited about 40 minutes outside which I didn't mind but with these higher temperatures approaching I am not sure whether that is a good idea. There is no umbrella but they let you get water while you wait. The restaurant is really cute and aesthetic but its more of an open concept so the fans aren't helping as much and if you are sitting outside, you are brave! The food was okay tbh. They were out of the smoothies and the french toast by the time I got to the counter so I opted for the breakfast burrito. The tater tots were delicious but the burrito seemed just okay to me nothing special. everything just seemed a bit chaotic to me with servers weaving through the line to find people's tables. Maybe I'll have to come once the hype has died down a bit. read more

Went for brunch to check out what everyone's talking about. Loooooooong line but moved decently quick. Luckily they don't sit anyone until you order so it keeps the seat savers in check. I had the corn waffle which was great mix of savory, sweet and spice from the flavored chile butter. I was craving the brûlée espresso martini but they were sold out so I got a smoothie and it wasn't bad. Would I go back sure did it change my life not at all. Great addition to phoenix but not rotation worthy read more

01/02/2026 New brunch spot in Phoenix that is absolutely worth checking out. Because it's still new and hyped up, highly recommend going there early. My friend and I went the day after new year's, so that probably added to the crowd. We got there shortly after 9am and were lucky to find a parking spot at the next building over - we made sure there was no sign with parking restrictions. Thank goodness because I don't know how far away we'd have to park otherwise. There were large, glass doors that would normally separate the indoor and outdoor space. It was entirely open that day which made sense because the weather was perfect. I saw two fans on the "outdoor" seating area, which would be helpful during the summer. The line wasn't too long yet. We waited about 10 minutes to order at the counter. My friend wanted to order a latte, but their espresso machine was down at the time. Once you've ordered and paid, they give you a number. Lots of reviews mentioned the difficulty of finding a table. Fortunately, there were a few open tables and a few seats available at the long common table. We sat at a table with two chairs. There was a counter off to the side where you can grab a cup of water, utensils, napkins, and to-go boxes. Shortly after we got seated, they brought our cardamom bun (from Chaconne Patisserie) and decaf house roast coffee to our table. The rest of our order arrived about 5 minutes after that. The Egg Sandwich was so good. It came with choice of a side - we got waffle fries that were seasoned well. We really enjoyed the French Toast which was not the traditional kind. It was served as a big cube with a slice of butter on top. I was not expecting it to be stuffed too - I think that was the dulce de leche. Everything was delicious, and I really want to go back and try other menu items, like the Breakfast Burrito and Baked Eggs. They also have a few cocktail options - the PB Espresso Martini and Sophia's Matcha sound so good. Service was good - there were many servers constantly walking around and checking on tables. The only thing that was a little annoying was three different servers came by our table to ask if they could clear any dishes within a couple minutes of each other. I understand that we had slowed down and were mostly chatting, but we were still taking a bite here and there. read more
