The panini was delicious- crispy, perfectly made, and overall very enjoyable. One note: the flavor had a noticeable sweetness from the honey, which made it taste more like a sweet panini with prosciutto. That might not be for everyone, but it’s a personal preference. Coffee was ok. What really concerned me, though, was the number of flies inside the cafe. I had to keep waving them away just to place my order. It made me question the freshness and hygiene, even though the food itself tasted fresh and well-prepared. I truly hope the owners will taken care of this issue, as it seriously impacted the overall experience.

Been here twice now, once for coffee, again for coffee and breakfast. Excellent flavor and quality, left feeling so satisfied after having the Monroe and a cappuccino. If you're debating Café Sophia is a must try.

I have been a few times now and the bacon egg & cheese is fantastic. The service has been great each time and the baristas are very nice to chat with. This café best embodies a small-town cozy coffee shop!
