Sofi Corner Cafe - French restaurant in Philadelphia - 1112 Locust St, USA

Chic and comfortable cafe with large sun windows in the eatery, adjacent to a community garden. The staff were warm and welcoming, down-to-earth, service oriented, and committed to creating the most pleasant dining experience. The food was excellent - made fresh and served hot. The croissants were just out of the oven and paired beautifully with an expertly ratio-ed americano. The Moroccan eggs were delicious, authentically prepared, and the portion size was more than enough as a full breakfast. This is exactly the kind of cafe we need in the neighborhood, and I will absolutely be coming back; for coffee, patisserie, breakfast, and the immaculate vibes.

I usually don’t leave reviews but this Sofi Corner needs to be known. The space is so lovely and warm! The food was spectacular, too. Very well flavored without being over seasoned. The pastries are delicious and are house made! The owner was sweet enough to drop off some complementary macarons to our table as well. I will definitely be telling everyone I know about this place.

I wish I could give Sofi six stars. What a beautiful addition to the neighborhood. The croissants, fresh out of the oven first thing in the morning, were the best I've ever had, served alongside a perfect latte. I also very strongly recommend the Moroccan eggs, stewed in a flavorful, chunky tomato sauce. Service is also amazing. The last time I was there, the chef just kept bringing out free samples--flavorful roasted potatoes, one of the little nutty cookies...Oh, and the WINDOWS!! The seating looks out over a community garden and it is just the most gorgeous spot to eat in all of Philly. Just note that there are only a handful of tables, so if you want a seat, avoid peak hours. Individual portions are a bit on the small side, but personally I see that as a plus. I love a mammoth breakfast platter like any other American, but I like this better. If you're still hungry, worst case scenario, you have to order a side of pastry or cake. The horror. ;)

A real gem that just opened in the city, the food was amazing the mix between the Moroccan and french cuisine makes the experience unique. Soufiane and Christophe were very nice and very welcoming and made us feel like home. Highly recommend 😋😋😋

What a great addition to Philadelphia! This amazing new café is the first tenant in 25 years that has finally done it RIGHT!! Beautifully decorated and sensibly laid out, this cozy French/Moroccan restaurant is worth every effort to eat here! The chefs Soufian and Christophe are both from Paris, so this is a real deal when it comes to baguettes, croissants, and pain au chocolate! The menu offers a lots of variety for both breakfast and lunch, with the hopes of opening for dinner at some point. I ordered the eggs Parisian, which came with a wonderful salad, fresh fruit, and freshly made baguette slices. My friend had the quiche Lorraine, which was THE best quiche I've ever had! The servings are generous, and the pricing very fair for such incredibly high-quality food. Their coffee is excellent too. They are also offering family recipes for their signature tangines so I am looking forward to that in the future. If you want the real deal, and want to escape to one of the prettiest restaurants in Philadelphia, come to Sofie Corner, and meet the wonderful staff and chefs who work there. Let's support local and all of the amazing young talent who have come to Philadelphia to fulfill a lifetime dream. I say stay away from the many corporate food giants who have taken over Philadelphia and dine with the little guys who deserve our support!! This is now my favorite go-to place in Philadelphia!! I'll be back there tomorrow for lunch:)

This place was great! I got the croque madame and it was by far the best I’ve ever had. It’s rich but not too over the top. My partner got the Moroccan eggs, or shakshuka, which was also very good. The coffee was good but I think I’ll try the Moroccan tea next time! Everyone working was extremely friendly and the spot is well lit and very pretty. This may not be the best spot for a large group of people—just a heads up. There are maybe 2 table that can fit 4 ~mayyybe~ 5. We will definitely be back.

Gorgeous eatery with friendly, authentic service, fresh and delicious food, and a mesmerizing French/Morrocan atmosphere. Thank you, Sofi, for sharing the magical history of the restaurant, and thank you to the friendly waiters. Good service isn't hard to find here. I shall return!

Great new cafe in the Gayborhood! The space has been completely transformed Into a bright and comfortable space. Staff is friendly and welcoming and the owners are wonderful. Highly recommend the Moroccan eggs, Croque Madame and mouloza nut cookies. Everything is incredibly fresh and made to order.
