I've eaten here many times and have only ever had great experiences. The food is great, servers are friendly, and while I may be biased, it's located in a very cute area in Middleton. My go-to place for breakfast.
Can certainly get a bit crowded at certain peak breakfast rushes, but worth the wait and very nice if you can dodge the crowds.

We had very tasty gyros for lunch. The owner, Zamira, was very friendly and her friend even left us with some complimentary caramel apples. They also have beautiful arrangements outside that make lunch feel like it is in Europe. Best spot in Middleton.

Sofra is the real deal when it comes to authentic Turkish cuisine. From the moment you walk in, you’re transported—warm hospitality, cozy ambiance, and food that feels like a love letter from Istanbul.

Highly recommend the Turkish coffee—rich, bold, and beautifully presented. And if you’re there for breakfast, don’t miss the Albanian sausage and eggs—perfectly spiced and cooked to perfection. It’s one of those dishes you think about days later.

Great gem in this fun neighborhood. Fantastic Albanian fare with many other options in the extensive menu. We couldn’t get enough of the homemade Albanian sausage. The hash browns with cheese and onion were stellar. Service is prompt and helpful. This is a simple easy going place. Other tables were all enjoying a peaceful calm day and moment to eat great food. The crepes were incredible, better than ones I have had in Paris. Tender, just right in sweetness and not gummy. Now let’s talk about the coffee! They have their own blend and it’s fantastic, real coffee with flavor and depth. We had 2 cups each. They also sell the beans. Great place for brunch. Will look forward to go and have dinner.

This breakfast restaurant is one of the better options in the Madison area. They are sparing with oil so you wont feel heavy leaving, the coffee is good, and fresh fruit available.

I LOVE this restaurant. I meet my friends here often for breakfast. The family that own this restaurant are so wonderful, they are friendly, helpful and I look forward to coming here just to chat for awhile with them. They always make me laugh and feel welcomed. I have NEVER been disappointed in their fare. I love everything I have ever had. If you have a time crunch you can order, get your food and eat in a timely manner but if you have time to chat with your friends or family over a meal, I have never felt rushed at all. They have it all and I would highly recommend you try this restaurant. You will not be dissapointed.

Go there for the food, but don't you DARE leave without a bottle of their hot sauce. Is there breakfast delicious? ABSOLUTELY. Are their family recipe Albanian sausages to die for? YES. Full stop. But I'm telling you, their hot sauce is some of the best I've ever had - it goes on everything from pizza, to quesadillas, to eggs, you name it. I'm sad whenever I run out, but then I remember they're just a 10min drive away!

Enjoy!

블렉체리 크레페와 알바니안 소시지가 맛있다. 소시지 나오는 메뉴중엔 알바니안 스킬렛이 괜찮다. 오믈렛은 보들보들하기보다는 좀 익은 계란말이 같은 텍스쳐이다. 아내는 달달한 크레페를 좋아한다. 토마토주스는 단맛이 적고 토마토 향이 진하게 나서 아내가 좋아했다. 직원들이 친절하다. 오늘의 메뉴도 그때그때 다르니 물어볼것. 날이좋을때면 도로변의 야외 좌석도 사용할수있다.

Those 5 star reviews of Sofra are 100% correct. Everything about Sofra was amazing. Nicest servers, variety of the menu and those Albanian sausages......delicious. Loved the small touches, such as sea salt and pepper flakes, instead of the usual salt and pepper shakers. Definitely worth a visit.

Was there for breakfast this morning. The gentleman at the cash register was unfriendly and somewhat rude. He made a nasty face when I asked him a question. I ordered pancakes. Only received a small, single container of syrup. I asked the server if I may please have more, she said "I will see if I think you need more." WHAT?!!! No way will I ever go to that awful restaurant again.!!!

If you’re considering going here, DO IT!! Great service and felt like I was in Europe. Started out with Turkish coffee which is stronger than American coffee and naturally creamy and comes in a small cup. You drink it until you get to the grounds at the bottom and then stop. Highly recommend trying it. They also have American coffee with free refills. Also highly recommend the Albanian omelette. The homemade meat was amazing and comes with this homemade pepper spread on top with a side of hash browns (get these with cheese and onion on top). We also tried the eggs Benedict with hash browns. Everything people were getting looked so good. Lots of choices on the menu. Try this place out for some great service and hearty homemade food!
