All around FANTASTIC! The lady that works there was so nice and so much fun too, she offered to read our fortune from the Turkish coffee and gave us homemade date balls! The food was wonderful, would absolutely recommend for anyone in the mood for amazing Mediterranean!
This place is delicious! We went for brunch and came out very satisfied! The owner is a sweet heart!
This was my first trip to Sofra. Super friendly and answered any questions I had about the menu. I forget the name of the dish I had. (Gyro meat w/tomato sauce,rice and yogurt) a traditional Turkish dish I was told. Very tender and delicious. But I actually went to try the kunefe. And WOW!! Maybe the best desert i have ever had. Will for sure be back. Two people could easily share a meal and Kunefe.
Great Turkish food
Sofra Cafe is an excellent local restaurant located just a few blocks off of the main square. The ambiance when you first walk in feels like home. The staff come out of the kitchen to greet you and sit you at a table. Everything is made fresh so it takes a while to get the food but it is all worth it. We had the gyro plate and the meatballs, both were excellent. I loved that the meatballs came cooked with peppers and onions in the tomato sauce with it. The homemade bread made the dish even better. The gyro plate was also excellent, cooked and seasoned perfectly. The portions are good, you will not leave hungry. After dinner we had the Turkish Tea. This is the best and most authentic Turkish tea I have had outside of Turkey. Overall an excellent restaurant that I recommend everyone try!
Absolutely delicious! We stopped by and they were having a weekend brunch buffet and decided to give it a try. Every single thing available was wonderful! We're absolutely going to be stopping by again!
You can feel the love and attention that went into preparing this food. I felt like my Turkish nene was serving me at her house in Turkey (eventhough I'm not Turkish). I got the delightful brunch buffet. My boyfriend, unfamiliar with the cuisine, opted for a gyro and fries which he praised. We'll surely be regulars now that they're reopened after a long pandemic shutdown.
My girlfriend and I loved the food, and the atmosphere. It was a great first experience and we plan on going back.
Stopped in today and ate an amazing appetizer!! Thank you so much Sofra Cafe for the 10/10 experience. Will visit again soon to try some of your other dishes
Great food and very nice owner!
The woman who works here is so sweet and the food is amazing. 10/10 it has that cozy "eating a delicious homecooked meal by your grandma" feeling.
Bes kunafa in bloomington and very cozy place❤️

Gyros and hummus are the best!! Love this place
The food is delicious The atmosphere is great The service is superb We are treated as family The servings are generous I enjoy trying different types of food and have enjoyed everything I’ve ordered I highly recommend Sofra Cafe
We were in Bloomington for a gymnastics competition and accidentally came across this place. THE BEST hummus I've ever eaten! I also ordered the tomato, onion, and cucumber salad and replaced the lemon juice and olive oil for her homemade vinaigrette. My husband got the gyro and it was soo good too! The owners were so kind and hospitable! Its delicious! Will definitely be my first stop next time we're in Bloomington!
Amazing food and atmosphere. The brunch buffet on the weekend is one of my favorites.
Fantastic, great place for a drink, dessert, or meal.
Their options are mainly Turkish home-style food. It's a rare thing in the US. The quality of the food is so high. Pides, lanmajun and pastries are a must. Prices are affordable and specifically for the home-style pastries are cheaper than expected. After the recent renovation, the place has become more spacious for gatherings and long-time stays.
