Sofra for a Late Lunch

Ever wish Sofra Bakery and Cafe were in your neighborhood? We do and then we wonder just how much weight we'd gain if it were. We'd certainly have to add an few extra miles to our Pedometer reading each day. 

 
We were out and about in a Zipcar last week and stopped in for a late lunch. Sofra opens at 8 a.m. with a breakfast menu that's available until 11 a.m. Then they switch over to an enticing menu of flatbreads, mezze, salads and sweets that will put you in a real decision dilemma.

 

We're able to enjoy the hummus and mezze selection that Sofra sends to the Copley Square Farmers' Market with Sienna Farms, so we opted for fresh-from-the-oven flatbreads. Our favorite was the sausage with cumin & orange, feta, hot peppers and green olives. 

 
For dessert we shared an Egyptian Bread Pudding served with a small pitcher of cream. It's one of those homey, warming, comfort foods that you think about with a smile, days after you have it. 

We can get to Sofra by bus, but think walking the 4 miles would let us share a few extra menu items without guilt. Then perhaps a stroll around Mount Auburn Cemetery as a digestive!
