Alessandro Moschetti SUCH A CUTE AND LOVELY PLACE WITH A FAMILY VIBE. MADE ME FEEL LIKE BEING HOME.
This review is based solely on my own experience and personal opinion.
I went to Sophies Cafe on a cold Monday evening, 1/13/21, and it was my very first time here.
Sterling is a small town in Illinois and while driving there you do not really have high expectations, but then you get there and its a vibrant city with many surprises and one of them is SOPHIES CAFE. Yes, a very nice surprise indeed, with a unique style and attention to details.
FOOD/BEVERAGES: They offer a big selection of food and beverage, especially coffee based drinks. I had a Muffin and a Cappuccino. My Muffin was very nice, great flavor and fresh ingredients. My Cappuccino was absolutely well made.... right Coffee/milk balance that is not easy to achieve. I enjoyed both my Muffin and my Cappuccino alot.
They Offer a great selection of coffee product for sale, roasted coffee beans, ground coffee and other locally sourced products.
STAFF: all the staff were young girls and one young boy. they were all super nice and friendly. They would talk to you with a big smile on their face and a great attitude. They were helpful and have sense of humor.
CLEANLINESS: The place was very clean and neat, and the restrooms were very clean too. Table and chairs were cleaned right after each guest. great policy.
PLACE: cute little place with a family vibe and a sense of home.... weird feeling, maybe its the fireplace?!?!
I love the way they arranged tables and chairs, and I do love the way it is decorated. a oddly pleasant mix of designs and styles who made me feel like I was sitting in my own living room, surrounded by friends. just an amazing feeling. Plenty of tables and chairs to reunite with your friends and family and a few more comfy spots with armchairs and sofas.
The Bar area, where they make/prepare your order is a little island of modernism in a sea of old-like style. Something I had never seen before, sooooo unique and interesting.
SLOT MACHINE ROOM: They do have a slot machine room but I did not get in there as I do not support gambling. So, I wont review that specific section of Sophies Café.
LOCATION: conveniently located right next to stores and the only Wal-Mart in town. You can do your grocery and then go and get some deserved relax.
PRICES: not expensive.
CONCLUSIONS: I liked it alot and I will definitely go back while in Sterling.
