10Best Says

SOFRA is a modern Mediterranean bakery and cafe that serves up some of the most spectacular dishes you'll find. Whether seeking breakfast, lunch, dinner, a snack or even a dessert you'll be pleased with whatever you select. The exotic decor compliments the food and the specialty drinks are to die for. SOFRA's breakfast menu is a mix of baked goods, and hearty breakfast fare. If the pistachio pop tart, raspberry rose turnover, or sweet cheese brioche are too sweet to start your day then dig into an egg sandwich like none you've ever had; featuring haloumi cheese, feta butter this is one savory sensation. A Turkish-style breakfast consisting of soft-boiled egg, cucumber, tomato, olives, feta, yogurt & spoon sweets is a customer favorite and the Shakshuka is one of the best you'll find in Boston.
