Cafe Sofia

An old favourite serving the best coffee in the inner west! Breakfast is always tasty and they manage to get the toast hot! If you like bacon, make sure you add a serve of bacon with your breakfast! Friendly family service!

A regular for the morning coffee school mums. Best coffee around, and it's still under $3! Friendly staff have seen my children grow up and never forget what we like to drink - get a shock if I ever change my order! They'll do half-portion smoothies and milkshakes and their breakfast wraps are to die for - not good if you've just been to the gym! It's definitely value for money and they let you sit outside with prams and dogs etc.

Ate at this place with a friend on Saturday afternoon. The self-order impetus wasn't immediately apparent but my friend and I soon readily adapted. I ordered the scotch fillet salad with an apricot and raspberry smoothie and neither did disappoint. The salad was more like an open steak sandwich, but the accompanying psuedo-tomato-pesto rocked my socks. The smoothie was one of the best I've had in Sydney, and would soothe even the biggest hangover. When it was time to leave, the self-order imposition seemed much more favourable. Would definitely visit again to try more things on the exhaustive menu.

Fruit salad needs to be made from good quality, sweet tasting fruit - it's summer and there's no excuse for sour, underripe strawberries and pineapple! If it doesn't taste great, don't put it in! I'd rather have a bowl of watermelon and grapes than a variety of whatever-you-can-find-that's-cheap! Even ice cream couldn't make this morning's salad taste good! Also, I watched the barista pick up two cups with her fingers inside the cup. Tighten up on loose hair too!

Cafe Sofia has been a regular of mine for a long time. Great service, fantastic staff, amazing coffee and food worth the wait. This is a family business for years and often you see 3 generations on the cafe working. This means they care and it shows. Sure, sometimes there is a wait and you have to pay (cash only) when you order but places that are not busy are not worth eating at (think about it...no customers tells you something!). Anyway, pancakes for breakfast, or bacon and egg roll with extra bacon and a hasbrown. Lunch try the burger (fresh and tasty), BLT or any rissotto and a skinny latte is a must! Love the coffee, love the team, one place worth a visit...
