How did I live in Madison all my life and never go to Sophia's until 2 months after I moved away?\n\nMy loss obviously!  This is hands down the best breakfast I have ever had in Madison.  The pancakes were generously sized and not too flour-y and slightly sweet, but not overpowering or anything.  My companion ordered the basil/mozzarella/tomato omelette and it was so delicious I couldn't even believe it.  The fried potatoes were delicious as well.  Everything was fresh and just so tasty.  \n\nAll of the baked goods looked yummy as well.  I wish my stomach held more!\n\nThe atmosphere was very cozy, and the people working were friendly.  At one point, Sophia herself called the staff to ask how it was going, and all the patrons said \""hello\"" over the phone.\n\nThe hours are odd, only being open till whenever (noonish?) on Saturday and Sunday, but it really only adds to the charm.\n\nI will forever kick myself for so many drives past Sophia's without going in.
