Sofra
7 people recommend, 3 warn against itvia r/boston10 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Diners recommend Sofra for breakfast, explicitly naming Allston as well as praising the brand without a particular outlet. One Allston recommendation praises the variety and almond cakes, and another diner prefers it to the smaller Watertown location. The dissent matters: two diners question its fit for Turkish breakfast, and another dislikes the baba ganoush and would not recommend it as Lebanese food. It is a divisive choice for someone seeking a traditional regional breakfast.
