They used to make great food dinner with good value of money but now they serve too much eggplant and over prices. The taste of the food is awful. I celebrated my birthday with 10 friends it was upsetting as they serve too much eggplant than other different meal my friends spend 30$/person but they was not get enough food and everyone was disappointed.

Since that happened I never come back here for dinner. Its sad cause this was the place which I spend most of weekend together with my husband for a nice meal together but not anymore cause we are still upset, also no one of my friends wanted to come here again.

It is hard to get past the rudeness and bad attitude of the oh-so-trendy staff in Sofia, that alone is enough to put me off ever wanting to go there. The food is ok, good veggie choices though.

This place never fails me. The food is always good quality and served in good time. The coffee is always done how you want. The juice options are plentiful. The outdoor area allows a nice atmosphere. A great place for locals to come and enjoy some all day breakfast.

Not sure what all the hype is about this place. The food and service is average. The decor and atmosphere has a lot to be desired. Much better around I feel.

Just having moved into the area we went up for a sunday breakfast. Our first option was fully packed as was our second. We made our way to Cafe Sophias. Hmmm the front seats outside were taken so we ended up down the back in what seemed to be a make shift shed with a caravan toilet. It seemed an eternity until we got served and when we finally did I am quite sure we had the restaurant disgruntled staff serving us (they just did not want to be there).

Food was ok, typical cafe food, service miserable and the atmosphere is severely lacking. Needless to say we made a reservation at our first choice for the next weekend.

Great cafe. It knows exactly what it is and who its customers are. I moved to Erskineville about a year ago and Sofia, along with Bitton, are my favourite place in the area. Great for breakfast and lunch but had some cracking dinners there as well.

We love it. The coffee is the best around. Also love the grilled vege salad.

The greek style lunches are also good. My favourite cafe for a always hit, never miss, breakfast or brunch.
