Authentic Polish food made with love and care. Everything tastes homemade and the portions are more than ample. Soups are definitely a must try. Friendly service and a great menu. Had the split pea soup with kielbasa and the platter with pierogi, sausage and stuffed cabbage (which would've been enough to fill up on). GREAT FIND!
The pierogi at this place are fantastic and exactly how they should be made! Served with caramelized onions and brown butter, generously filled, and flavorful. The service is definitely gruff but they take care of you! They have Polish grocery staples as well as frozen soup and pierogi you can purchase. I'm dying to go back and try their dessert case, which hooked like a dream! This was the cozy comfort food I've been dreaming of, and it was such an unexpected find near the plant shop at the back of this food hall. I'll be back soon for sure! There isn't much seating, so don't count on being able to eat here, and it's a bit chaotic in the building, so taking it to go may be the move. We left very happy!
The food is amazing! Just like my Baba used to do. Usually come for Easter kielbasa, stay for the food! Do yourself a favor and experience world class European comfort food!!!!
Delicious pierogis! Have heard great things about this place and it did not disappoint. The pierogi flavor is really delicious, you can taste the sweetness of the onion on the sauce and it balances well with the meat filling. You can also grab pantry items imported from Poland such as pickled beets, sauerkraut and spices The store is located inside Broadway Market in Fells Point, Baltimore. There is seating indoors inside the market The owner Thomas is also super kind! You definitely have to stop by if you're in town.
This was a warm meal that tasted like my mother made it. The restaurant is at the entrance of the market. I really enjoyed the golabki: they were pleasant, savory and just the right amount of acidic. You cannot leave the market without trying the perogis. They even had some polish items like frozen perogis, pickled vegetables and bread for sale. The staff were kind.
Overall, I think Sophia's is a cute Polish spot. My bf is Polish so we have been here twice. The first time was very good when we tried a few items like bagels and pierogies and Polish soda! We were excited to come back but were disappointed when we took bagels to go and didn't realize they had put meat in the bagel sandwiches when we didn't ask for meat. It was a very expensive bagel to throw away ($11!) bc we couldn't eat it with the ham was melting into the cheese and egg. It was really disappointing service :(
Lunch at Sophia's in Baltimore. Yummy. Cabbage roll, pierogi and sausage and sauerkraut. Highly recommend.
I accidentally stumbled into Heaven. We were on our way to find lunch and some ice cream at Takahara Brothers. We wandered into the Broadway Market and straight into the flavors of my childhood. You know how people with Italian heritage always say nothing measures up to their Nonna's or mother's gravy? I grew up with a Bushie. She kindly assaulted people with food. When I was younger, I couldn't imagine that this would ever stop. But, as she grew older, it did. Sometimes I think she did it out of spite. No one could make stuffed cabbage rolls like hers. They weren't traditional, much like everything she did and said. To this day, I don't really know what was authentically Polish, passed down from her family, and what she just made up to appeal to her American granddaughters. I'm pretty sure that the filling in her cabbage rolls was all meat. And she served them with potatoes boiled in some sort of thin red, vaguely tomato sauce. ALWAYS in her white Corningware dish, with the blue flowers. I'll never find a cabbage roll like hers, but I will kindly accept all contenders. Which lead me to attending the Polish festival at Holy Rosary - which is where my Bushie was married, btw. She and my grandfather supposedly lived on Chester street, and walked to the church with their wedding party, kind of like a parade. Time machine take me there. It must have been an amazing wedding. Someone spilled punch on her wedding dress at the reception, and she STILL mailed it off to some niece, back in Poland, for her to use. Anyway, it was at the Polish Festival that I discovered my love of pierogi stuffed with farmers cheese. There's a sweetness to the cheese that is so addictive. So I was delighted to find them for sale at Sophia's!! I haven't had the chance to eat them yet, but I am already planning to return to Sophia's when I have more money, because I need to SERIOUSLY shop. I was so thrilled by the selection of pierogi that I completely forgot to get a cabbage roll, or even to fully peruse the other shelves of Polish delights. Would recommend. Would also totally recommend the Polish Festival, which usually happens the second week in September.
Absolutely mouthwatering! If you're going to try anything in the broadway market make it Sophia's deli. We got the Sobieski's platter, which is a little bit of everything. Golabki, pierogis and fresh sausage with sauerkraut. There wasn't a single bite left. We even got piergois and soup to take home!
Run, don't walk, to Sophia's Place to enjoy the best Polish food in town. Pierogies, kielbasa, and chruścikis are all insanely delicious. One taste and I'm transported back to my childhood visiting my Polish grandparents in Locust Point in South Baltimore. So, so good. Get in the car now and head to Fells Point. Thank me later.
After wandering around Broadway Market, I was thrilled to happen upon Sophia's place. It's a fairly big stall, with racks of Polish dry goods and candies, along with freezers full of pierogi and items to take home. There is a deli and you can order read-to-eat Polish goodies. They also sell bakery items, like homemade cheesecake and paczki. I haven't seen kruschicki in years, and it's my favorite, so I picked up some of those and enjoyed them. I also got the potato and cheese pierogi, which were freshly pan-fried and delicious. I feel bad that I never liked my mother's golabki, but I'd try it here on a return visit. I chatted with Thomas, the owner, for a bit. He's friendly and has a prestigious culinary background. He really wants to carry forward the culture, which is amazing. I'll happily stop by anytime I'm in Fells.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sophia's Place. The food, of course, is exceptional. This was the first stuffed cabbage I'd had in years, and it was better than what mom used to make. There is something they put in that sauce that makes is delectable, and servings were huge! The pierogis and kraut and kielbasa also were out of this world. So reminiscent of what my Polish family made. What makes Sophia's exceptional to me, though: I ordered a bunch of of food for my family in Baltimore; we had a death in the family and people were coming from all over the country for the funeral. I thought some good ol' Polish comfort food would be good for everyone. Not only was the food phenomenal, Tom the owner and his staff took exceptional care of me and my family. Tom delivered the food himself, ran back with something he forgot and stayed and talked to my family for a bit. They said how great he was and they enjoyed meeting him, and several want to order from Sophia's Place and have the food shipped. I HIGHLY recommend Sophia's Place and will make a point of going back there next time I'm in Baltimore. You should too! read more
Sophia's Place is located by one end of Broadway Market, just past the bathrooms. Their plain cheesecake looked lovely and large. $5.95 for perhaps an eighth of a cheesecake with a graham cracker crust. It was really good! Smooth and creamy in a soft kind of way. Much better than the one we had earlier the same week at Katz's Deli in NYC. read more

It took a me a while to make this review. And I almost forgot to take a photo because this soup is so good I was already halfway through my bowl. I went to Broadway Martket place with one of my friends a few months ago just checking out what shops/restaurants they had in there and we happened to come across Sofia's place. The new owner was so nice and informative about their menu and offerings. Had we not just had lunch at Ekiben I would've tried a full menu item but I was curious about the Red Borscht. I'd never had it but I've heard good things about it so I tried a cup. I really enjoyed the flavor so I purchased a quart to take home and freeze. Fast forward to today, I finally defrosted it and warmed myself up a bowl. I added a little salt & pepper and a healthy dollop of sour cream. It was perfection. I look forward to returning to Sofia's explore more of their menu and purchase more goods to take home. I highly recommend. read more

We stopped in while visiting Baltimore. We had stuffed cabbage and Pirogies and they were amazing. The sauce for the stuffed cabbage was super favorable and a great compliment. Pirogies were cooked perfectly ( we had the cabbage/mushroom). We anded up getting some frozen to go. read more

I dropped in at Sophia's place because I found the words "stuffed cabbage roll". Although it seems to be from Europe, it is popular in Japan and I felt glad to have it here. I think the rice inside the roll increased its savoriness so much! The sauerkraut and mushroom pierogi was also tasty. On another day, I tried a slice of carrot cake, which was also delicious. read more

I went to Baltimore and happen to find this place while looking on Google Maps! Difficult to find at first, but absolutely worth it! The food tasted so authentic and fresh! The owner and family/workers were so kind and humble! It was a pleasure to meet them! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic tasting polish food! read more

Depending on which end you enter the Broadway Market, you might miss Sophia's. A small European Deli that has a variety of Polish/European dishes. I've visited a couple of times now- both late morning (around 11) and pretty quite. Would imagine they get busy around lunch. They have daily specials-sandwich/Combos. Ordered the Sobieski's feast, 1/2 dozen Pierogi (Sauerkraut/Mushroom) and Panini of the Day (Corned Beef). The feast was substantial and a good one for sharing. Cabbage Roll, Pierogis and Sausage -all excellent and pure comfort. Potato/ Cheese Pierogis were our favorite but the Sauerkraut/Mushroom ones were a surprise hit. Corned Beef Panini was also tasty with Cheddar cheese vs the usual Swiss. Plenty of dessert options. Can't go wrong with their Polish Donut (plum filling takes it over the top!) & their Hamantasch is some of the best I've had-Raspberry, Apricot and Poppy Seed. Service was excellent! Engaged ladies (including the owner) who are smiling, helpful and delivering some scratch made goodness! They had a freezer full of multiple Pierogi varieties for home prep. Will be back to try the Blintzes and other dishes. Don't miss this Broadway Market Gem! read more

The foods from Sophia's is like a warm hug from your grandma. The stuffed cabbage roll was aaaaahhhmazing! We went to the Fells Point fun fest and stumbled into Broadway Market and discovered the best of the hidden gems! I still crave for those pierogi and golabki especially now when it's a bit chilly outside! They also have the nicest ladies at the counter that made us feel like home. read more
