Borscht!!!!

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!!!!

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.

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.

Left to right: Pierogies, stuffed cabbage, kraut and kielbasa, more pierogies

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!

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.

Stuffed Cabbage!

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.

Chruścikis that melt in your mouth.

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.

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!

Borscht

Located in Broadway Market is this fantastic gem! We ordered the Sobieski's Feast and a cup of borchst and they did not disappoint. The Golabki was delicious! Tom (the owner) was very welcoming and hospitable. They have a fridge of soups you can bring back home. Highly recommend!

I just had the chicken curry noodle soup omg Definitely 10/10 if you are a soup lover

Chef's specialty!

Great, delicious house-roasted pork tenderloin sandwich; made my day. The new owner is a gem too. Looking forward to going back.

Closest thing to a New Orleans po'boy in Baltimore…read more The Catfish Po'Boy here is no joke. Kimchi-brined fried catfish, remoulade, capers, lettuce, tomato and red onion on a sub roll -- it immediately reminded me of Mandina's on Canal Street in NOLA. That's about as high a compliment as I can give a po'boy outside of Louisiana. My partner had the Heirloom BLT and loved every bite. Fresh heirloom tomatoes, arugula, sprouts, herbed avocado mayo on wheat -- simple and done right. Chuck's has that perfect Hampden energy: unpretentious, a little quirky, genuinely good food. The counter seating where you watch everything made to order is a nice touch. Grab something from the bodega side on your way out. Show up Tuesday for the po'boy lunch special. You won't regret it.

Great!! We wanted a…read morenice little brunch before doing some walking around in the neighborhood and stopped into Chuck's as we had heard great things. I can confidently say that everyone that recommended this place was right. I had the Seoul skillet with pork belly, kimchi and mushrooms and wow, was it good! The flavors melted perfectly and it was the epitome of a well balanced breakfast. Service was fine - a bit slow, but they were incredibly busy, so I don't fault them at all for that. One thing I do hate is having to continuously ask for my water to be refilled, and I was left with an empty glass quite often but again, they were swamped so I do understand. Ambience is very interesting here, I don't know that I have ever been to a more eclectic restaurant. The decor is all over the place but it really does fit the vibe so I say this with zero negativity. It's quite tight in the space but that's totally fine. Overall I will 100% be coming back and would recommend anyone else do so.

Let me preface this by saying I was craving a cheesesteak. And I will add that this is a bagel shop…read moreand not necessarily known as well for sandwiches. But they do have a wide menu which includes cheesesteak so I decided to give them a try. Then came the 100% disappointing sad cheesesteak I was served. From the soggy bread, to the wrapper that stuck to my cheese and turned my cheesesteak into just the "steak" part. The flavor was that of a piece of bread soaked in water and tasteless. Overall did not come close to fulfilling my craving. Service was the same to follow. I approached the counter where I was greeted. The only customer service part of my experience. I told her my name and she said it would be a few more minutes. The woman then stated talking to her coworkers.. nonstop chatter. All the while the back cooks were bringing up food. And they were bagging it. After about 10 minutes of waiting. I interrupted the chatter and asked if my sandwich would be coming soon (at this point it had been 20 minutes since I ordered). She then asked me my name again and then grabbed a bag that had been sitting in the counter for some time and handed it to me. No apology.. nothing to show my bag had been sitting there for the last 8 minutes while I waited and she as the "greeter" forgot to check on it. So overall I would say the one star given is generous for the service, and food I received from this store.

I've driven past THB for years, never paying the place any attention. My fellow foodie friend…read moresuggested a dine in breakfast, so that would be my first visit there. I was fairly impressed with the location and how quickly staff moves through orders. Pleasant staff, nice laid back vibes that morning. I had an everything bagel breakfast sandwich and coffee which did not disappoint.
