Sofra Bakery and Cafe
210 N Harvard St, Boston, MA
Crema's Take
“This bustling Turkish bakery and cafe is beloved for its authentic pastries and traditional drinks, drawing crowds especially on weekends for generous breakfasts and satisfying savory items like spinach-cheese gozleme and falafel wraps. The newer location offers more breathing room than the original, making it a genuine gathering spot where the team goes the extra mile—even jumping in to help with last-minute catering orders. Fair warning: portions are modest for the price, but the quality of their baked goods and carefully crafted coffee and tea make it worth a visit if you're seeking honest Turkish hospitality in the heart of Boston.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

I love many of the pastries and baked goods from Sofra. Quite delicious. The tea, coffee, and hot chocolate are great. However the portions for the price you pay is ridiculous. For a $6-7 cup of hot chocolate it’s not even filled to the top. Also, I would appreciate a…
Went there to have breakfast. Parking was little tricky to find as all road parking were for residents only on weekdays and fee parking places reserved for bakery were filled. We got lucky and got 1 space soon but if you are planning to visit on weekdays, I suggest to find out…
