" I’ve tried Sofra Family Bistro several times and I can confidently say that it’s one of the best spots for breakfast in town. The homemade Albanian sausages are a must-try, bursting with flavor and a perfect match with the house hot sauce. I also love their black cherry crepes; they’re a sweet finisher to any meal. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, making you feel like part of the family. There’s a cozy feel to the place, even during busy hours. Just be mindful to arrive early as it fills up quickly!

" I brought my family to Sofra Family Bistro for breakfast and it was a delightful experience! The staff accommodated our large group surprisingly well, and the food came out quickly. The kids enjoyed the pancakes a lot while I went for the famous Albanian sausage and eggs; it did not disappoint! My partner had the eggs Florentine and was completely satisfied. We really felt in a charming little spot away from the hustle and bustle of the world. No complaints whatsoever! " (*Curated Review*)

I went for the eggs Florentine and they didn’t disappoint! I still can’t get over the flavor of those homemade Albanian sausages; they’re phenomenal! I witnessed their attention to detail when handling each plate. It’s definitely worth its price, and I left with a content stomach and smile. I'll be recommending it to all my friends!

" If you’re in Middleton, Sofra Family Bistro is a hidden gem you should definitely check out! I ordered the Albanian omelet with hash browns that were crispy and flavorful. The atmosphere is homey and welcoming, which made my brunch experience delightful. I appreciate the shared sense of community from both the staff and the owners—clearly a family-run place with lots of heart. Having said that, I feel the service was a bit slow on a busy morning, but it is truly worth the wait for the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having been to countless diners in my day, I can safely say that Sofra Family Bistro stands out for its authentic Albanian flavors. The Albanian sausage truly shone as the best dish on the table. It had that homemade quality which many diners miss these days. Example, the Turkish coffee was expertly brewed! The flavors transported me back to family meals as a child. The only downside was the wait time; it took a little longer than expected to get our food. Nevertheless, it’s still a solid breakfast spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" The first time I visited Sofra Family Bistro, I couldn't believe how authentic the food tasted. I ordered the Albanian omelet and was blown away by the freshness. Their Turkish coffee was excellent too! The staff were very polite and ensured our meal went smoothly. I enjoyed my time, although I do feel the tables could be arranged differently to create a more spacious environment. I would love to come back again and again for their food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited the Sofra Family Bistro on a lunch break and was instantly charmed by the atmosphere. It had a quaint yet inviting decor. I ordered the Albanian sausage and must say it was among the best I’ve tasted abroad. Not to mention, the friendly staff who taught me how to properly drink Turkish coffee! I was thrilled. The only mishap was a longer wait for food than expected. It’s still absolutely worth it though! " (*Curated Review*)
