Lovely local cafe in the inner west, perfect for a weekend brunch. The menu is pretty simple but good flavours, and sitting in the gorgeous courtyard with pancakes, tea and good friends is great way to spend a Saturday morning. Plus, with really affordable prices there is nothing not to love!

Cafe Sofia is amazing and is a true icon in the area having been established and run by the same family for 15 years. Food is exceptional and really well priced- you won't find prices like this in Sydney. It has a very homely feel to it and they aren't trying to be anything they aren't- love it. Keep it up cafe Sofia

A nice cosy nook at the back of Cafe Sofia is bustling with locals. We ordered the big breakfast with an extra rosti and the baked eggs with spinach, potatoes, tomatoes and mushrooms. I suppose you can't really go wrong with a big breakfast but the avocado had a bit too much lime and the rosti was not crispy on the outside. I wasn't impressed with the baked eggs. The eggs were overcooked and not runny enough, the tomato base was watery. Coffee was quite good though and I had 2 cups of cappucino. Its a nice cosy neighbourhood cafe and does the trick if you want to stay in your burb' for the weekend.

Food and coffee here is pretty good and the service is good too.Only bad thing with this place is that it doesn't have eftpos so you have to make sure you have money!Right next to Erskineville station so it's super easy to get to.Nice little place to have some morning tea or catch ups.
