My friend and I visited Sophia's for OUR birthdays!! Such a cute spot. Kind of an interesting setup where you order at a counter, get your own utensils, and your food is brought too you. It's such a cute spot and very popular!!! We both got their breakfast sandwich, ice teas, and shared their viral French toast. Everything was fabulous!! The sandwiches were huge and fresh!! The hash browns were so tasty and the sauce drizzled on them was yummy!! The French toast was SO good!! I didn't expect that much flavor; sweet, salty, crunchy, soft!!! OMG DELISH Highly recommend!! We even saw people taking their orders to go!
We only tried two things and they were decent but there isn't much to choose from on the menu. The crustless quiche is more of a frittata, where a quiche is supposed to be creamy egg baked in the oven that becomes like a custard... so they should definitely rename their crustless quiche to a frittata. We tried the viral French toast and it's good but very very very sweet. It tastes like a challah sticky bun. The ambiance is very sweet and beautiful. It was alright but I probably wouldn't drive an hour again to go back
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.
Worst part is the wait. We have tried to come 2x prior but the line was too long in the heat. Today we stuck it out, had about a 35 min wait to order. Once you order, the food comes fast. Staff was very helpful and friendly with the menu and seating. Food was good. We had their famous French toast (delicious!), little gem salad, Chicken sandwich, breakfast sandwich (both sandwiches with tots and the spicy mayo sauce was good). Got the quiche, it was a bit dry, but we enjoyed everything else including the drinks
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.
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!
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.
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.

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

If anyone was looking for unlimited refills on their coffee with brunch, this is your spot! I WAS SO DEAD WHEN I GOT THIS WAFFLE AND IT HAD GOLD FLAKES ON IT! Couldn't feel more like a princess at brunch. My friend with some gold stuck on their tooth when they tried it and be warned. You will look like a gangster after you eat this! You order at the front and sit at a table so be sure to add enough time to your morning for a line!! Poppin off! Doubles tables are also sat sort of close, but we met SUCH GOOD FRIENDS AND SAW SUCH GOOD PREVIEWS OF OUR SECOND CHOICES THIS WAY! Not even being sly about it 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

Never thought I'd ever care for brunch, but Sophia's got me hooked! I keep coming back, waking up early to beat the line out the door. It's never a letdown always consistent with how they make and prepare their food and drinks. No seed oils are used, and they use beef tallow in their fryer. My favorite things to get are the breakfast sandwich that come with side of tater tots they use the best bread in town, Chacónne. In my opinion, they're the kings of the patisserie industry. I also get their protein shake, which has clean cocoa powder, protein, almonds, bananas, dates, almond milk, and cold brew. Then I'm sipping on fresh-squeezed orange juice. I'm honestly here a lot, and I haven't tried anything else yet, like their viral French toast, but I believe you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Wake up early and start the day right at Sophia's! read more

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

Hi Lindsey! Thank you so much for visiting us and taking the time to…
Such a lovely little brunch spot! I love the flowers, the cacti, the arches, and the green pastel hues. It's all really pretty and tasteful. The food is delicious. I had the egg, avocado and cheese breakfast sandwich (not the official name), which comes with a side of tater tots. My friend had the crustless quiche (essentially, a frittata) and that was tasty too. The best part was of course that insanely delicious French toast. They have decaf espresso if you're sensitive to caffeine. Went on a weekday right at opening time before work, and there were only a couple other people there. Plenty of parking spots. Though I do hear that it can get really crowded. Sat outside and the music was just a tad bit loud to carry a conversation. I think the place still deserves 5 stars, but the lady who took our order was not very pleasant. She wasn't rude but she came across as very standoffish, and never cracked a smile. It seemed like she wasn't very happy to be there. 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

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 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

Guys you absolutely need to check out Sophia's a brunch counter. The mid century architecture and aesthetic is stunning. It's grab and go style. There is a lot of indoor and some outdoor seating.

This brunch place is a new and popular spot in Midtown Phoenix. The restaurant itself is beautiful. They had open windows and light airy decorations that made it seem bigger than what it actually was. It's a popular restaurant, so if you go at a busy time, you might find yourself hunting for a table after ordering your food. For the food itself, we got the egg sandwich and the golden corn waffle. The waffle was good and was unique. The egg sandwich was good but didn't really distinguish itself from other egg sandwiches. So I was a little disappointed by it at its price point. Overall, I would get the waffle again, but not the sandwich, and I would definitely return for the ambiance. 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

Hi Mo, thank you so much for the incredible review! Your enthusiasm…
My friend and I stopped by Sophia's a brunch counter last weekend for brunch and it was pretty good. To order here, you wait in a line outside which was pretty toasty in the sun but they also had an outdoor fan to help people cool off. We waited for about 45 minutes before actually ordering but they provide menus to look over before you get to the counter. I got the valley latte and subbed honey for vanilla and it was pretty good! I also got the breakfast sandwich and the bread is so fluffy and delicious (I bet the French toast is amazing) it's just so fluffy it kinda falls apart for the sandwhich functionality. The vibe here is really cute and a fun place to visit for a casual brunch vibe. 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

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

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

Hi Kimberly! Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We’re…
I thought this place was, darling! Different from anything we have in Phoenix currently! Such a cute and creative, architectural and design concept!! I had been wanting to try this place since it opened and tried to go in December, but it was only their soft opening, but one of their sweet staff members met me at the door with a menu and gave me two gift cards and asked me to come back in January once they opened so obviously I had to! When I went back, I just wanted to light breakfast by myself so I got the ham and cheese croissant and a latte. The ham and cheese croissant was phenomenal. I do consider myself somewhat of a connoisseur and this was definitely in my top three! The pastry bread was like herb, and it was absolutely delicious. I will say I wish that they had specialty lattes on the menu. But I asked the girl at the counter if they had any and she said they had a special one of the day. I believe it was a caramel white mocha. And I got an iced And really loved it thought it was amazing! I absolutely will be going back. I think it would be such a cute place to take people visiting town or just at the start of a girls day! read more

Easily the best new breakfast spot in Phoenix. Situated next to the absolutely gorgeous Beadle building is the equally aesthetic Sophia's with ample patio space and a surprising amount of parking out back. We ordered the breakfast fried rice and the breakfast sandwich with bacon. Food service is at the counter but the food came out quick and tasted great! A lot of gems on the breakfast menu and they also serve lunch! Would definitely order the breakfast sandwich again, but next time I'll be subbing in avocado. read more

This a cool and unique brunch spot inside a really cool building. I ordered the Honey Dill Chicken Sando and I feel like it needed some flavor. The waffle fries were really good though. We all shared a French toast and it was delicious. The service was good! read more

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

The egg sandwich was really good even if it felt super impractical to eat. i was surprised at how much i enjoyed the waffle because it had chile in it which was an interesting flavor profile but it worked! i know this is silly to complain about, since the workers did everything they could to make the heat bearable, but having so many seats outside without proper misting or some air flow in arizona is just not practical. i hope they can find a solution. read more

Hello Muska! Thank you for visiting and for sharing your feedback!…
A very stylish place to have a nice brunch! Did the coffee and food blow me away? No not really. Service was nice enough but not outstanding. The way this place looks is what it has going for it! Worth a try 1 time but I'm not dying to return and certainly not waiting in long lines for. read more

Hi Yasmin, thank you for giving us a try and for sharing your honest…
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

Hello Daniel. Thank you so much for this amazing review! We…
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. So happy to try the trending iconic French toast dish. I love the self serving drinks and take out boxes. Would love to come back here again, my new fav brunch spot. read more

Hi Lea! Wow, wow, wow, we love this review! Thank you. We’re so happy…
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

Discovered through TikTok, this spot quickly made it onto our must-try list. Walk-ins only, so expect a wait -- we queued for about 20 minutes before placing our order. Every dish delivered on the hype, and we're already looking forward to returning. read more

Hi Martika! Thank you so much for checking us out and making the trip…
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

Omg this is hands down the BEST breakfast/brunch I've ever had! Their fried rice was full of different vegetables and had so much flavor!!! And then- for breakfast dessert I had the stuffed French toast... Perfection!!! I was only in Tempe for a few days, but made sure to hit this place one more time before my flight back home just to have that French toast again. There was good music playing, the area was nice and clean, and we had friendly service. Wow. 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

One of the best brunch experiences I've had in a while. Sophia's is definitely hot n new. I ordered the breakfast sandwich. Had to open extra wide to fit this sandwich in. It was stacked! My group of 3 enjoyed everything they ordered. Pro tip- get there early before 10am on a weekend. read more

Hello! How is the parking here? Easy to find? Is there a free parking lot? Paid side streets? TIA :)
I have only been there once. It's free parking but the parking was limited. We were able to find a spot right away. It was easy to find. I didn't notice meters on the side streets.
