"I couldn’t agree more with the review from Jess T. Offers a nice, but relatively small menu, that Is not cheap. Some staff nice, some unfriendly, but the atmosphere is bright & clean.There are other bakeries I much prefer to go to. Asked for the ham and Gruyère sandwich minus the ham - and which is almost $10 - and this is what I received. Emailed the owner who responded nicely, but did not address what I wrote to him. I’ve never been on social media and have written few reviews over many years. Perhaps you’ll have a better experience."

"Quite honestly the best chicken salad on croissant I’ve ever had. I also had a chocolate croissant, which I warmed this morning for brekkie. I think I may go back today to get another sandwich."

"I enjoy every experience at Sophie. The girls and I got to enjoy so many tasty treats - mousse, quiches, croissants, and more. The owner came out to greet us at tell us the story of his business. Wonderful experience! Tasty baked goods!"

"Decided to give this place a try as I'm always on the hunt for a delicious bakery. The cappuccino was good (very strong) although technically it was more like a latte since my milk wasn't foamed properly. I appreciated the coffee art though. The hazelnut croissant was average and the fruit cheesecake (it had a fancier name, but can't remember it) was good. Staff was friendly. The 3 items cost over $18 which is pretty ridiculous in my opinion, but seems to be the norm nowadays. I'm glad I tried it, but I probably won't go back just because it's next to The Stone Oven which is far superior in my opinion and cheaper."
