Sofra; More Than Just a Table
The best thing about living in a diverse community is the ability to find places that connect you to different countries and cultures without having to go there. Today before heading to work, I got to visit Sofra Bakery & Cafe, a small place located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I didn't actually know what Sofra meant nor did I know what kind of food they served until I looked up their website. Sofra is a Turkish word for a special low table. Sofra Bakery and Cafe offers food from Turkish, Greek and Lebanese cultures. It's like visiting 3 countries in one go. Upon entering the store, I was offered a pumpkin spice sourdough ball that sort of looked like a munchkin but tastier and more authentic. I continued to wait in line that was a little bit outside of the store due to it being a smaller area inside. the cafe had a few seating areas outside, but not enough. The wait in line was about 5-7 minutes at 9:40 am. Sofra only offers breakfast at this time until 3 pm from Frida...
