Yum! These crepes are damn good, beating out others I have had in San Francisco, Vancouver, and yes, even Paris. There's just something great about eating your meal directly from your hands, where it feels nice and warm, and never really putting it down, like you would a sandwich. The menu options for both sweet and savory crepes are tempting, and patrons are welcome to build their own crepes with the available ingredients if they want to be more creative. Depending on how hungry I am, sometimes I can manage to have two, one as a main course and the next for dessert, but that's a rare day. My favorite is the florentine, sans the parmesan sauce. The space is small, but because they are able to make the crepes so quickly, the turnover makes it easy to almost always find a seat. In warmer weather, it's nice to sit at a cafe table outside. Be sure to check out the bronze key wall, which can be easy to miss if you are carrying out. The prices are a wee bit on the high side, but when you consider how much popcorn costs at The Charles next door, it's really not so bad. The drinks are cute and unique (like tiny cans of Coke), but more expensive than they could or should be. The Charles does allow you to bring the crepes into the theater, but be careful, it can be messy to eat a crepe in the dark. I speak from experience!

So many choices - what to do?? Got a Bacon Egg and Cheese - delish. Husband got "The BBQ" - pulled pork and cheddar cheese, and I almost ate his in the car on the way home it smelled so damn good. A little pricey, a little gruff, but the crepes were so warm, delicious, and filled to the brim. Made me happy.

Sounds like a few people have had negative experiences with Sofi's..but I've been by a few times and I think the crepes are pretty tasty! Usually, I'm kind of a type A list-maker, but for a crepe place I'll keep it short and sweet. I've had the mozzarella crepe twice and an apple-pie type crepe once. The crepes are soft and slightly sweet, and the toppings always go in well. I've never had a problem taking my crepe on the road, and one time a nibbled bundled crepe actually made it through several hours on the bus in my bag without turning to absolute mush. I wouldn't rate this on par with crepes in Paris..but they're still pretty darn good (if a little pricey) when you need a quick fun meal.

Good (americanized) crepes. Kinda pricey. Good iced coffee, with coffee ice-cubes! Odd hours. Little seating.
(3)Matt W.
I'm no connoisseur of crepes, but I think it's cool that we have a place in Baltimore next to an independent movie theater that's open late-ish that serves nothing but crepes. Tonight I sampled three (split them with my wife). Significant 86's on the menu (no basil, turkey, gruyere or avocado) had me ordering the BBQ Pork crepe or the Italian inspired Godfather crepe, neither of which I'd get again, however I loved the banana/Nutella crepe for desert. Next time I'll stick with the sweet and stay away from the savory.

(02/19/2011) This is a cute litle place to stop in and get something to tide you over before your movie at the Charles. Hours are pretty much in sync with the theater crowds. It's a large chewy crepe, they have sweet or savory fillings, and it's conveniently folded into eigths for transport. FYI, not really sharing food; no utensils, it's chewy (so doesn't rip well), and the size is really just for one person. The classic Suzette was lovely, sweet with a little bitter from zest, boozy, and syrupy, nice later night sweet. We got a BATS (bacon, avocado, tomato, sour cream) and a BBQ (pork BBQ and cheddar). It's counter service only, and they try to get you in and out of there as quickly as possible; the vegan girls working the crepe station could use a little lesson in salesmanship though, it's a little disconcerting to hear them say "eww, like, this barbecue is soooo grooossss". Will let you know if they meant in a food poisoning kind of way or in an icky-I-don't-want-to-touch-it, "meat is murder" kind of way, either way, tasted just fine.

I love crepes so I was so excited to try theirs, it's gotten so many good reviews.... But I thought it was beyond bad. The crepe itself had a weird texture. It felt rubbery and chewy, with almost a metallic aftertaste. I really had to fight to get that first bite to detach from the rest of the crepe... not appealing. I ordered the nutella crepe, which was overfilled to the point that when I took my first bite, the entire crepe just exploded in my hands.... which paper napkins do nothing for when you try to clean that up!! There was no balance between the crepe and the filling, if I wanted to eat straight nutella I would have eaten it straight from the jar with a spoon. It completely defeated the point of a crepe being portable food. After one bite, I stared at the crepe to see if I can attack it from another angle for another bite, but to no avail. In my hand was just a gooey, brown, sticky mess of nutella and a crepe that had absorbed so much nutella in a minute and a half that it was completely soggy. I threw it in the trash. It was a huge mess and a huge waste of money.

This tiny little place serves up tasty crepes. Savories such as Ham, gruyère & mustard and mozzarella, basil, & tomato are quite good. But Sofi's really shines with their sweet selections: the Nutella is lovely, as are the s'mores, apple crisp, and homemade butterscotch. Nutella is a pretty ubiquitous crepe filling, so if you only have one chance to try Sofi's definitely go for the apple crisp. It's sinful stuff. My only gripe is that they're closed during most of the week--only because patrons from the adjacent Charles Theater are the predominant clientele. Also, I've been served by the owner herself on many occassions, and she has acted surprisingly sour and/impatient each time. If it only happened once, I'd write it off as a bad day, but it made for an uncomfortable dine-in experience. Most times, I opt for carry-out.
(4)Jamie S.
Love this place! Always yummy!
(5)Joe T.
Perfectly placed right next to Charles Theater and Tapas Teatro. Dinner-Dessert-Movie. Relatively cheap, with a great selection of dessert or savory crepes. My favorite are the crepe reuben and the crepe florentine. The apple crisp and the butterscotch are my favorite dessert crepes. I've tried just about everything, and you can't really go wrong with any of their items. Warning - many of the savory crepes will induce a food coma. A tasty food coma.
(4)t W.
Yum yum. Great place to get a meal before a movie at the charles and yes you can take it in with you.
(5)Caroline H.
My friend knows/knew the owner at the time we went so we had to make a trip here. I had never had crepes other then when I've tried to make them myself so I was in for a surprise. I treated myself to an apple crisp sweet crepe with apples, graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon and carmel. It was fantastic! My friend had a savory crepe that she also was a huge fan of. YUMMY!
(4)Katie M.
Part of what I like about Sofi's Crepes is the fact that its right next to the Charles Theater. But the other part is definitely the food. I love crepes, and these are great. What I like about Sofi's is that they have more than the standard crepe fillings, including bbq pork and cheddar cheese, bacon avocado tomato and sour cream, and all sorts of awesomely delicious sweet crepes (my favorites being either the nutella banana or the plain lemon and sugar). They also have good coffee. It gets crowded, but you have to take the location into account, but its the best thing after an afternoon movie!
(4)Margot L.
We love crepes, and Sofi's makes 'em right. A nice list of savory and sweet variations, made and wrapped properly and served up nice and hot. The prices are a bit high, but the place just serves crepes, so I guess they have to make a buck somehow.
(4)Christie S.
I love Sofi's Crepes. It's only a block from my house so I usually end up there about once a week. I have sampled most of their menu and I haven't been disappointed yet. The crepes are soft and warm, the fillings tasty, and the service friendly. The only bad thing about it is that it can be really crowded on Saturday afternoons when people are either leaving or going in to the movies. Try the dijon, ham, and gruyere savory crepe--it's really good. If I am craving something sweet I usually go for the nutella or the crepe suzette.
(5)Eric P.
Sofi's Crepes fills a need you never knew existed, the need for a fresh crepe before or after an artsy film next door at The Charles Theatre.
(4)Melissa L.
This is a small eatery with simple wall seating inside and several nice outside tables. The menu is simple but has many options. The crepes themselves are how real crepes should be done. My in laws make crepes all the time in the way that I've had them in Europe and these definitely are similar. However these are very big so one is extremely filling. We went with savory crepes when here. I had the florentine which is a spinach, and mushroom crepe with parmesan sauce and sunflower seeds added. I will possibly try the previous viewers suggestion of asking for this without the parmesan sauce. The crepe itself tasted great but I wasn't hungry for hours and parmesan sauce was added in a bit of excess. My husband had a pork bbq one which he liked the flavor and taste of although he was also full for hours. The crepes themselves are light but they are just super big. They also serve cokes in glass bottles as well as orangina. All in all, great for a quick relatively inexpensive lunch option with a bit of a french/european flair and a lot of options in a casual setting.
(3)Marek D.
Great spot, right next to the Charles Theater. I always get their avocado bacon crepe, it's really good. They also have vegetarian crepes, sweet crepes etc. I like the cozy atmosphere in there. In the summer, it's also great to sit outside and watch the Charles Theater crowd. All in all, I think it's one of the best spots in Baltimore.
(5)Jen P.
this place is perfect, i love everything about it- except the coffee..always tastes really old every time haha. don't let that stop you from going because the crepes taste so authentic to me..as if you were in Paris! yummy!
(5)Emily K.
Sofi's Crepes is a great creperie! I love this place. It's a very small location so I mostly just get the crepes to go. All of the sweet crepes are amazing :) Some of the best crepes I have found in the United States and that is saying a lot. p.s. I love sneaking my crepes into the Charles theatre next door but don't tell anyone ;P
(5)Alli Z.
Great location right next to the Charles. The banana Nutella crepe was made right in front of us and was perfect to share. I'm coming back to try a savory crepe!
(4)Alice H.
If you are ever looking for a quick bite to eat around Charles North, Sofi's is a great place to visit. The crepes here are generous - you'd be surprised how full a crepe can make you. I typically order the Kevin Bacon - turkey, bacon, cheese, tomatoes, and 1000 island sauce. Sometimes, if I feel like splurging, I'll ask for some avocado. I've had some of the other items, but this one is probably my favorite. The place is tiny, so you may want to take it to go, or come with only 1-2 others. The crepes are wrapped up so that you can eat it with your hands, sort of like a wrapped burrito, no utensils needed. A simple business model with a great product.
(4)Sarah J.
We went late on a weekday night and there was one person working in the restaurant. Because there were around 8 of us, it took him a bit of time to make our 1 or 2 crepes. People recommend trying one savory and one sweet crepe, but as a small female one was quite filling. I tried the florentine and it was pretty darn delicious, one of the best I've had. It was nice that we were the only customers that night. The place is small, so it can't fit too many people. But, it's in an accessible area and a perfect bite to eat for a snack or for a meal. I highly recommend this place!
(4)Ashley A.
My favorite crepe is the ham, gruyere, and dijon!! It's my go to and if I could eat it every week I would. The wait time is usually a bit but it's no problem when you know you're about to get the tastiest crepe ever. The place is small and I'm not a fan of tight quarters so I usually end up eating outside.
(5)Erica M.
I have come to this Sofi's Crepes location three times already. This place is good for taking out and for dining in. However, I wouldn't recommend a large group to come here! The dining area is definitely smaller than its Fell's Point location, but it has its own charm. The outdoor seating is optimal on a good day, but the indoor seating is very crammed but still cozy. I always order the thanksgiving crepe here, and the first time, I was extremely satisfied. However, the second and third times, the crepes were extremely soggy. I really enjoy the flavors here, but I think they could do something to eliminate the sogginess of the crepe after serving. The service is always pretty social and speedy. The crepes are made very quickly, but it is sometimes hard to hear them call out your crepe. I would come here again for a quick snack, but probably not too often!
(3)M K.
I live relatively close to here so I've been here on a few occasions. I've also been to the one on Belvedere Square as well. Compared to the one in Belvedere square, the place is small There are a few bar stool seating, and outdoor seating and that's about it. Overall, compared to the other location, it has a more rugged, hole in the wall feel to it, which I like. This is overall a great place for a quick lunch or dinner. The crepes look small but they're quite filling. I've had their Reuben, Florentine, and the Godfather, and all three I enjoyed and would recommend. Most of the Savory crepes are $8ish. Not bad for pricing. Anyways, a great creperie in Baltimore. Would recommend it if you're looking for a quick lunch or dinner to eat.
(4)Erin S.
Quick and tasty dinner or dessert. My favorite savory crepes are the Thanksgiving and the BBQ chicken one. Any of the desserts are amazing, but the smores and peanut butter ones are awesome. I wish the seating options were a little bit better (just outdoor seat and then an indoor bar seating arrangement) because it would be a nice place for hanging out with one or two friends. Regardless, still tasty. What I'll do sometimes is have dinner/apps at Tapas Teatro and then split a dessert crepe here with a friend. Good stuff.
(4)Abigail R.
I am so glad I finally stopped at this spot; I am not sure why I have been denying that crepes can be a delicious lunch. Plus, the staff couldn't be friendlier, which was exactly what I needed because my day had been annoying. There are lots of locations, but I went to the one on Charles near the theater. These guys use all fresh ingredients, and make a lot of things in-house. They also make each crepe to order - so they take a few moments when they are busy. I had a hard time deciding as there are about 17 different savory crepes. I kind of wanted the pulled pork one. I almost ordered the chick pea and cilantro veggie one. I eventually chose The Mozz. It totally hit the spot. The crepes are warm and very thin and filled with the toppings and everything is folded all together in a nice little package. The crepe pancakey part has a slight sweet taste but it did not overpower savory filling. This one was stuffed with tomatoes, soft milky mozzarella, tons of fresh basil. I think it was the cracked pepper and olive oil that sold me. I shall be back to try that pulled pork one for sure.
(4)Jasmine W.
My go-to crepe place in Baltimore. I usually get a savory crepe and split a sweet one for dessert. Savory ones are about $7.25-8.25 and sweet ones are $5.25-6.25, depending on ingredients. My favorite savory crepe is the Thanksgiving one! Turkey, cranberry chutney, and pesto mayo...mmm! My favorite sweet crepe is the apple crisp, since I am not a fan of chocolate. But they have a wide range of crepes on their menu and you can even make your own! They have a frequent buyer stamp card so you can earn your way to a free sweet crepe! The place itself is tiny, but they have outdoor seating for when the weather is nice!
(5)Christine R.
This place is great! My friend took me here when I was visiting her at Johns Hopkins, and I was very impressed with the selection of crepes! I got the Florentine crepe with spinach, mushrooms, gruyere cheese, and sunflower seeds. I thought it was delicious and a little different than the typical spinach and cheese crepe. It was small inside, but we managed to find seats. I thought the prices were reasonable and they even offer a frequent buyer card. If I lived closer, I definitely would have gotten one!
(5)Liz J.
This is a nice place to stop for dessert in Station North if you want something quick that you can take to go! I got the turtle crepe, which although I wouldn't consider really "turtle" was a decent crepe. The chocolate completely overwhelmed the caramel, and instead of pecans, almonds were used. It was still good, but I'll probably get something else next time. They were friendly and fast, but do try to pay in cash - they have a $5 minimum for cards and they are a pretty small establishment (so it is a little cramped in there!). Definitely worth a try!
(3)Angela B.
I love Sofi's! How could you not love delicious sweet and savory crepes? The Sofi's on Charles street is next to the Charles Theater, and is the perfect place to grab a crepe before or after a movie. The location is small, but the outdoor seating helps clear out the crowds quickly. Even though it gets crowded here, the service is quick and you won't wait long for your crepe! I often struggle to decide between a sweet or savory crepe, but I almost always go sweet. My personal favorite is the s'mores crepe! Gooey chocolate and marshmallow with graham cracker crumbs, all wrapped up in a thin, delicious crepe. Amazing!
(5)Christine K.
They're all so delicious and easily a small meal or a large snack. We were short on time for our pre-movie dinner, but luckily Charles Theatre is BYOB and BYOfood for the two neighboring restaurants, so we took our crepes with us. My favorite is the Thanksgiving crepe. FYI - this is a "to-go" crepe place. there's limited seating, but is generally filled with people waiting for their orders.
(4)Paul S.
Easily one of my favorite quick service type food locations in the city. The crepes are very consistent and have a solid flavor. This location is right next next to the Charles Theatre which makes for a great pre or post show snack.
(5)Daniel C.
Sofi's Crepes is located in a tiny space right next door to the Charles movie theater. There is room to sit at a long table, but I gather most orders are to go. The atmosphere is very laid buck, but friendly. It is a bit of a novelty to eat food wrapped in a pancake, but they are served in a foil wrapper, and there is even a poster with instructions on non-for eating. We ordered a Godfather, made with several Italian meats and spinach and it was delicious. My wife was unimpressed with the Florentine, feeling that the sunflower seeds were overwhelming, but that could vary by personal taste, I just found it to be rather mushy compared to the Godfather. These are good novelties in a good location.
(4)Supriya M.
We called ahead for lunch and our crepes were ready when we got there. My 1 year old ate the Crepe Florentine in its entirety! It was so good that he didn't want to share. The veggie crepe could use more salsa but was also quite delicious. Their service is pleasant.
(4)Cassandra S.
Great crepes and sooo fast! They don't skimp either, the crepe we ordered (egg and cheese; they have a good selection of cheeses btw) was full of yummy goodness, piping hot and easy to walk and eat. They have more interesting crepes than the normal creperie, and they do carry out orders too. The only thing I would suggest is maybe offer some side salads or smoothies? Although, if they're not interested in diversifying, their current menu fits the bill.
(4)Yong K.
i never knew crepes could be eaten as the main course and not just the dessert, but this place proved me wrong. if you want a meal: godfather, kevin bacon were great. sliced turkey was okay.. i was feeling in a thanksgiving mood dessert: nutty banana, smores. can't go wrong with crepes and nutella. sofi's even came to Johns Hopkins and did a crepe making demonstration for our residence hall! best part was the free crepes afterwards i just wish they opened earlier on most days.. i would love to start the day with a crepe!
(4)Huy H.
A friend recommended that I go here, the only "must go" place for my weekend in Baltimore. The place was supposed to open at 11:30am, but doors didn't open until 11:50am. The cashier lady who rung us up was not very helpful and seemed entirely apathetic about being there which was kind of lame and it kind of put a damper on the visit. There was a steady crowd of people arriving shortly after doors opened with only two people making crepes, so the wait was a bit long. However, it was worth the wait as they make each crepe to order. I got the BATS (bacon, avocado, tomatoes and sour cream) crepe for breakfast, and it was really good. You get plenty of bacon and half an avocado in the crepe. For something sweet, we got the apple crepe and it left something to be desired; we thought the apples would be fresh, but they were canned. Definitely check this place if you like crepes and want something light; they had a Groupon going on but it was not for the location we went to.
(4)Judy W.
So surprised that this warm crepe store opens till very late. Apple crisp never beats and they use high technology machine to make crepes quickly and efficiently. TCC ordered veg crepes .Very full...
(5)Chad B.
I ate at Sofi's on Friday night in conjunction with seeing a movie at the Charles Theatre (similarly to a lot of others here apparently!). It's a cozy, hipster-type of restaurant on Charles St. There's not too much seating. There's a bar with chairs along the front window and a long booth seat along the wall behind it. There's a menu board right by the front door. After ordering, it only took about 5 or 10 minutes to get the food. I had a BBQ crepe which was a crepe filled with pork BBQ. I really enjoyed it! The pulled pork was delicious. The BBQ sauce was kind of sweet, and the portion was pretty large; it left me satisfied. The crepe itself was soft and actually complimented the pork well. It's a relaxing place with music playing in the background. I recommend trying this place out. It's a niche kind of restaurant, but definitely worth trying out. I'll come here again someday. 4.5 rating
(4)Jason L.
I was not a big crepe fan until I ate at this place. Food is delicious at a fair Price.
(4)Lauren S.
I've only been here a handful of times, but every time I come it's a good experience. The people who work here are friendly, and the food comes out pretty fast. Even if there's a wait. I prefer the nutella and strawberry crepe, but they're all really good.
(5)Maisie L.
Mozzarella crepe has fresh tomatoes, chewy mozzarella, and basil in it. I added avocado in it, and it tastes really good. The BBQ crepe is also juicy and tasty.
(4)Tierra C.
Like most people, I'm sure, we stopped here and had a crepe while we waited for our movie time. Small and limited seating. Price was a little much for something that isn't so filling. Banana royal was my choice. Fresh banana. Easy to eat. The crepe was perfectly warm for a Fall evening. Would go again if around the Charles for a movie and try another flavor.
(3)Darren A.
So simple and so flavorful!!!! Love this little spot... it's so small, if you blink, you'll miss it entirely on Charles. My happenstance upon this eatery was totally by chance. I was out with a freind and we wanted to grab a beer at Club Charles but it was PACKED!!!! And I was feeling more like the parent of the patrons more than an actual patron so we left and say Sofi's was 'open'. I had the good fortune of being freaked out by the Me: Banana Royale: Banana & Homemade Butterscotch - SUBLIME!!!!!! My friend: Crepe Florentine: Fresh Spinach, Mushrooms, Gruyere Cheese, Sunflower Seed with a Pepper Parmesan sauce - Ohhhhh so savory!!! Will DEFINITELY be back!!!
(5)Rachael T.
I had been to the Sofi's in Fells Point, but this was my first time at the one on Charles. I stopped here for a little dessert after a movie at the Charles Theater, and I think that is what this place is perfect for. I am a huge crepe lover, particularly sweet crepes but I have trouble finding ones without nutella (I'm allergic). Why can't you just use chocolate, people?! But thankfully Sofi's has me covered. The smore's crepe was amazing, but MESSY. Make sure you have a lot of napkins.. and water. You'll be sticky. But satisfied. The price is right, too. Really not bad for crepes! The only downside is the wait. I think I waited at least 20+ minutes for my crepe, and it is a tiny place so it gets crowded. (The location in Fells is a bit bigger, but has zero atmosphere. At least when I went, that may have changed now that summer is upon us. On Charles it's nice because there's outdoor seating and a lot of people around.)
(4)Nisht G.
A+ crepes at Sofi's! I got the Crepe Florentine. It was gooey and yummy with mushrooms, peppery cheese, and spinach. The sunflower seeds added an excellent crunch! The crepe guys are also really friendly and cool.
(5)Timothy S.
Talk about a great date night: catch a flick at the Charles Theater, then walk out the door to the right and you are at Sofi's. We went straight for the BATS, and if you're not hip enough to know what that means(which is me) it's a Bacon, Avocado, Tomato, (&) Sour Cream Crepe(or very fin pancake). The gentleman and lady working behind the counter were very friendly, well dressed, and committed to serving us a very delicious crepe to our specifications. Best part? Fresh avocado right out if the hull, and fresh thick cut bacon pieces. None of this pre-cooked, let me burn it more bacon. Good luck, and may the hipster in all of us rejoice. -Bacon
(4)Tunaidi A.
This place is pretty awesome. Sofi's Crepes is a (very) small crepe house, offering a good number of savory and sweet crepes. Depending on what you order you'll be paying for a good, cheap meal or a good, cheap dessert -- a win either way. The Godfather is my favorite savory crepe, with the Crepe Florentine a close second. The Nutty Banana is a class sweet crepe, and the Apple Crisp is worthy to note. You could always ask them to make you a custom crepe too if you wish. I saw one of the staff making a pulled pork with bacon and cheese crepe that looked pretty tasty. There's not any real seats at Sofi's Crepes, but the goods are made pretty quickly and is quite enjoyable.
(4)Cathy B.
this was my first time having crepes. I loved how careful they were with every crepe--they make them fresh one at a time. I got one with avocado and tomato. it was amazing!!! and on top of that the guys were really nice!
(5)Jarrod F.
I really do love a good crepe. And Sofi's is serving up just that. My only complaint is that sometimes the employees are about as friendly as drywall. The selection is pretty limited and its a tad pricey for what you get. Most of the crepes are like $8-9. I need at least two crepes to feel full so it can be a pretty expensive little snack. Besides that, Sofi's Crepes is clean, quick, fun and filling. I'll always be a customer:)
(4)Jen W.
I love popping in for a crepe after a movie at the Charles. The crepes are freshly made and filled with tasty ingredients. The smell of crepes tempted us to get one savory and one sweet crepe. You can get a variety of fantastic crepes or something just as simple as a cheese filled crepe. My cheese crepe was warm and melty. The hubby's was a volcano of hot nutella and bananas inside of a crepe. It was so good! If you are waiting inside for your order, take a look at the back wall. It is a cool arrangement of keys. You can eat your order inside along the bar or grab a table outside .
(4)Mark R.
I was not in the mood for savory crepes, but wanted to try one before leaving from a conference. It was delicious and light. Good place for a nice quick meal.
(5)Tiffany O.
3.5 Stars. This place made me okay with the idea of Savory Crepes, but now I'm determined to find other places in Los Angeles (where I live) that can hold up to this idea (ergo the lack of 1/2 more of a star). Atmosphere: Small. One long table alongside the window and a few small tables outside. Order at the counter and get your food there. The decorations (key wall, artwork) are nice. Food: Unsure of what to get, the girl at the counter recommended the store's two favorites - The Kevin Bacon and the Florentine. The Kevin Bacon was really meaty and the Thousand Island's dressing gave a good flavor to it, but it felt a little heavy in taste after a while. The Florentine had a nice light flavor to it, however, and the sunflower seeds were an awesome/crunchy touch. The prices are average, maybe a but pricey for the size of the crepes. Service: Fast and friendly.
(3)Meghan L.
The crepes are good--we had the Kevin Bacon and the Classic. Can't really go wrong with crepes-- they're amongst my favorite street food. I'd definitely stop back to try more options, especially a dessert crepe. The staff was friendly even though it was absurdly busy-- kudos to them for staying pleasant and patient with a place full of hungry and antsy people. It's not their fault, but with only two crepe pans available, the wait was long. Due to the fact that it's an extremely small place and a couple of movies were starting soon at the Charles, it was over-crowded and there were no seats available. I'll come back for lunch sometime and avoid the movie-going crowd.
(3)Tracy Z.
Stopped by here after getting off the bolt bus on a Sunday afternoon. Business was slow then so service was very fast. Had the Godfather, super yummy!
(5)Sean G.
Sofi's is a short walk from our place, so its pretty easy to make an excuse to head over there for a savory crepe. I haven't yet tried any of the sweet crepes, but all the savory ones I have tried have been great. In Paris, crepes are prepared so quickly that you hardly have time to see what's being thrown into them. I have yet to experience that speed here in the US, but I'm willing to wait at Sofi's.

My sister and I noshed on a Nutella, banana and almond crepe they were kind enough to split into two adorable, mini-crepes. This is amazing food, y'all. This is my first trip to Baltimore and there is something great about eating a delicious crepe, wrapped like a wrap, and waling around this city. It tasted especially good on a slightly cool evening after enjoying a movie at the Charles. Excellent eating experience.
(5)Mike B.
It was my husband's and my first time here. We stopped to get a quick bite before a movie at the Charles. I liked the variety of savory and sweet selections. The prices seemed to be reasonable for what we got. I had the Reuben crepe and he got the classic ham and cheese. Both were pleasant, decent sized, and enough for a small meal. I liked the crepe's soft springy texture, which was a nice cushion for the corned beef and sauerkraut. We washed them down with lo-cal root beers. I recommend a visit and look forward to trying a sweet crepe soon.

Sofi's Crepes is phenomenal. Since I first tried the crepes on my birthday in April (surprise breakfast in bed!) I have been hooked. The Kevin Bacon is my favorite. As much as I want to try everything on the menu I can't help but order it every single time and it is ALWAYS perfection. It also helps that every time I go in everyone working is ridiculously sweet to the point where I want to just hug them! Weird, I know but once you visit you'll understand :)
(5)J G.
Yum!

I agree with previous yelpers that Sofi's crepes arent the best crepes you'll ever taste, but they're definitely the best you'll have in Baltimore. I love their sliced turkey, pesto mayonnaise, and cranberry chutney crepe! I get it every time. The first few that I had however, had a really underdone crepe crust, so I'm deducting one star for that.. Otherwise this is a great fast food dining option in station north/mt vernon. I also love its location, right next-door to the Charles theatre. Also, I wish the hours were longer

Very cute and cozy, this place is a must for me before (and sometimes after) seeing a movie at The Charles. It's also perfect for a quick bite if you want something light and/or portable. I've tried almost every crepe they offer and I've never had a bad one. It's not great for groups in the sense that the space can only fit about 12 people comfortably. But, everyone in your crowd is guaranteed to find something that they love on the menu. And if they don't, then you may be running in the wrong circles...

I live in Baltimore but my obsession with savory crepes started in NYC, at 2am, while slightly tipsy. For days after that first encounter with cheese, tomato, and basil, I babbled on to friends about its deliciousness. I somehow never noticed Sofi's Crepes, despite its location on Charles Street, but when I finally did and took a bite into one of their crepes I was blown away. My cravings could be satisfied locally! Eventually, I started ordering more crepes- the BATS (bacon, avocado, tomato, and sour cream), the Thanksgiving crepe (turkey, pesto, cranberry chutney), the one with chickpeas (veggie?), etc. I was hooked. Forget my NYC crepe fantasies, I have Sofi's. Despite my love for the crepes here, I have never ordered a dessert crepe. I'm sure I will eventually, but Sofi's is a place that's in my usual lunch rotation, not my dessert rotation. Sometimes I tell myself to be a complete pig and order two crepes, one savory and one sweet, but then I remember how filling one can be. But yes- Sofi's is a lunch destination for me and I would consider eating here every day, but... they're not open for lunch Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. Hence a star getting docked. :( Regardless of the hours, Sofi's is a great little (yes, very little) place to grab lunch. Every crepe I've eaten was delicious and they're made relatively quickly, unless you have the misfortune arriving at a busy time. Delicious. And yes, I will post an updated review when I get around to trying a sweet crepe!
(4)Allie P.
The crepes are delicious but a little overpriced. I need to venture out more and try one of the dozens of options they have, but I love my Nutella crepes!
(4)Robby B.
I've been to Sofi's more times than I can remember, sometimes before/after seeing a flick at the Charles. Other times, I'm just in the mood for a great crepe. It's a cute and very tight space. There's a high top bar right looking out the window and also some cushions (without tables). There are also tables right outside, which is great when the weather's good. The area has had a bunch of construction recently, so it's not the prettiest view, with orange cones and all, but it's still nice. First, the crepes themselves are great. Soft, slightly eggy, and always warm. The crepe insides are usually great, but not consistently amazing (like the crepes). Savory Crepes run 7-8 bucks. My favorite crepe is the Godfather (pepperoni, mozz, salami, roasted red peppers, and spinach. There's a good amount of quality meat and melted mozzarella. The red peppers add some moisture and tang. The Kevin Bacon (turkey, bacon, cheese, tomatoes, and 1000 Island) is fine, but nothing extraordinary. My second favorite crepe (unnamed I think) has turkey, pesto mayo, and cranberry chutney. I get it if Thanksgiving is close or I'm not feeling the Godfather. The sweet and tart cranberry chutney is the star of the show here. The only crepe I haven't liked was the Ham, Gruyere, and Dijon. The cheese and mustard are solid, but the ham is in spongy, unappetizing chunks. The sweet crepes range from 4-6 bucks if you have stomach space. (If you get your own savory crepe and share a sweet crepe with 1 friend, you will leave pretty full--but happy!) My favorite is the bananarama (banana, granola, honey, and peanut butter) but you really can't go wrong with any of them. I usually pick up an Orangina here too so I feel classy and vaguely European. Man, I'm really craving a Godfather after writing this...
(4)Emily L.
Sofi's has two great selling points: +Close proximity to the Charles, so you can get a quick bite for not too much before seeing a movie there (and sneaking the crepe inside isn't too hard to do.) +They sell crepes! There just aren't many places that do that in Baltimore. However, there are a number of setbacks: -Weird hours: Monday and Tuesday they're only open from 5-9. The rest of the time they open at 11:30. -Lack of seating, especially for groups: we tried to come here with friends once and found we couldn't find anyplace to sit together, especially one that was comfortable for a pregnant lady (bar stools in a long row? No thanks.) -Slow service: anyone who's been to France will be shocked at how long it takes to prepare a crepe. They store every ingredient in a separate Tupperware container and appear in no hurry to get your food to you quickly. Only about half the people who work there have the deft dip-spread-flip motion down; the others constantly tear and scrape at the filmy batter so that the final product, while it tastes fine, it's not very attractive. -Lack of interesting options: Their entree crepes are just too bland for me, and the ingredients lack freshness and pizzazz. Your best bet is to order a dessert-y option like butter and sugar or Nutella and banana, which is safely simple. Despite these caveats, I'm sure I'll continue to eat at Sofi's while they exist, both to increase the demand for crepes in Baltimore and because it's a little cheaper and healthier than eating popcorn and Junior Mints next door!
(3)Devonshire B.
Crepes in general are pretty effing fantastic. Sofi's makes the best cinnamon and sugar crepe EVER. Actually, I'm sure someone in France beats her to it, but still. In Baltimore, this is great. If you're not into the sweets, they have the savories down pat too. You really shouldn't miss an opportunity to experience these hunger quenchers.
(4)Lana T.
The s'mores crepes here are like crack. The savory crepes are good, but for my friends and me, the sweet ones were always what we were craving. Sofi's Crepes is located conveniently near Penn Station and one of the stops of the JHMI shuttle. It's really sort of like an indoor food stand with not much room to eat. If it's crowded, you probably won't have anywhere to sit. However, I've never had to wait outside to get my crepe. Still, as you bite down into that thick chocolatey gooeyness, it won't even matter if you have to do it out in the cold. They do have odd hours, so make sure they're open before you come by. There's another location that might be open when this one is closed, so double check!
(5)Barbara D.
Love this place, especially for a pre-Charles Theatre snack. The wait's not long so you can definitely swing by before your movie. I usually get the Mozzarella or The Godfather, but I've never been disappointed by anything else. Parking is a little tricky, so I'd walk or take a bus here. When they hand you your crepe, it will smell so amazing you will want to eat it right away. Do not: you will burn yourself. Every time. My only complaint are their super weird hours. Don't expect to swing by just whenever because you're feeling crepes. They will be closed and you will be heartbroken. Check their hours ahead of time.
(4)Laura N.
Yum yum yum. When they have the goat cheese and jam crepe, get it! I hope it's a seasonal thing or something.
(5)Elizabeth J.
So good! Although very small, they do set up a few outdoor tables under their awning when the weather is nice. This is a great place to stop for dinner or dessert. I love their savory crepes as much as the sweet. On this trip I ordered the veggie and let the cashier know that I wanted cheese and asked for some recommendations. She suggested the gruyere and the guy who was making the crepes said to let him know what I thought about the selection. It was delicious! The veggies consists of chickpeas with cilantro and spring onions in salsa. With the melted gruyere in the crepe it tasted taco-like in a very good way. It was filling, but I didn't leave feeling bloated or overstuffed. Unfortunately I had no room for dessert, but I did enjoy their iced tea which is a mixture of chai, apple and mint. It sounds a little strange, but was very refreshing. I enjoyed some people watching out under the awning as I sipped my tea, a delicious and filling dinner for under $10; how can you beat it?
(5)Matt M.
The crepes are great, and the location is right next to the Charles, so when you're running late to a movie it's a great quick bite to eat. That said, it seems like every time I'm in here the girls working are hating on something. It's like the haters ball for Station North hipsters. Now I'm paraphrasing here, but only a little bit: (girl 1 to girl 2) "This guy and his girlfriend came in here earlier and they really liked the crepes. So they came back later and wanted to get more. I was like "wow, ok" (in a really snarky voice)" Giggle giggle. Yes, hate hate hate on the person who likes your crepes. Hate on players!
(4)Laura L.
Delicious food and drinks and great service -- my only complaint is how TINY the restaurant was; there was literally nowhere to sit other than on the "bar" table facing the streets. I know that using small space is part of their business model, but I'm really not a fan. In order to become a more popular venue, they NEED more space and seating!
(5)Ed W.
I got the Crepe Florentine. Portion was great, ingedients (Gruyere, spinach, sunflower seeds, mushrooms) were grade A, but the cheese was overboard......it was a gooey mess!!!
(3)Heather K.
Stop here before a movie at the Charles. It is yummy and affordable. I like the sweet and savory crepes. My favorite savory is the Veggie which has chickpeas. I love the peanut butter cup. I also personally find it amusing that most of the people working there are hipster MICA students.
(4)John A.
Great unique restaurant. Dropped by for a quick bite after a movie and was greeted by the helpful staff. I tried the Kevin Bacon due to the staffs excellent suggestion. It might not be the healthiest food in the world, but I will stop by the next time I catch a movie next door at The Charles and I'm sure I will be happy I did.
(4)Virginia Y.
Had the Kevin Bacon and it was flippin' delicious! Service was fast and friendly. Great atmosphere, did anyone check out the wall of keys in the back? Pretty cool if you ask me. Also some of the cashiers/crepe makers go to my school! Another plus, haha! Next time, bananarama!!!
(5)Abby W.
I've had better crepes, but Sofi's is easily the best place to get your crepe fix in the Baltimore area. To date, I've tried their BATS (bacon, avocado, tomato, sour cream), Apple crisp (apples, caramel, cinnamon, graham cracker crumbs), Bananarama (banana, granol, honey, and peanut butter), and Turtle (caramel, chocolate, nuts). I've liked all of them except the Apple Crisp. I found the large apple chunks to be too unwieldy to eat. I ended up eating all of the apple chunks first so they would stop falling out and ate the skin by itself. Favorite of all time = BATS. If you're like me and are a total whore for bacon, you simply must wrap your lips around this. Their savory crepes are definitely filling and can be eaten as meal. I usually split the sweet crepes with friends as dessert. Let's be honest, what is sharing except a blatant excuse to order more and try other things on the menu? Also, Hopkins students can use their student discount card here to score a free drink. Outdoor seating is great for parties of three or more. Only downside? No bathrooms. You have to get a pass and go next door in the theatre. Rating Breakdown: 2/2 Stars for Taste: The crepe skin serves its purpose to hold everything together, prevent leakage, and be delicious. Well done. You can also customize your crepes so you get exactly what you want in them. Fresh mozzerella in my BATS? YES PLEASE. 1/1 Star for Value: ~$6-8 is a pretty standard price for crepes, but anywhere I can fill my stomach for less than $10 is fine by me. You definitely won't leave Sofi's unsatisfied. 1/1 Star for Customer Service: The ladies who usually work when I frequent the place are really friendly. They give excellent suggestions if you tell them what you're in the mood for. Sometimes, they'll give you a free hot chocolate when you show your discount card, even though the discount is only supposed to apply to bottled drinks (;. Bonus star because I would definitely recommend this place to others. I usually take my mentees to try this place at the beginning of the year to show them that there is a glimmer of light in this forsaken place.
(5)Jeff J.
I'd been coming here throughout college and decided to stop in to reminisce over some lunch. They were a little slower than I remember, but the food has remained consistently good. I got the Godfather (a savory crepe), and really enjoyed the ingredients inside. Sofi's also does a great job of wrapping the crepe like a burrito, so it's easy to eat without a fork. I'm just bummed I didn't have room to eat a sweet crepe too.
(4)Kamilah V.
Sofi's is one of my favorite restaurants in Baltimore. Awesome, friendly customer service and delicious food in a clean setting. One of my favorite things to do is have crepes then over to Club Charles for drinks. The Thanksgiving Crepe by far is my favorite, I get it almost every time I go. The flavor combination is ridiculously delicious (and it really tastes like Thanksgiving). The Motz is also to die for. I wish that Sofi's was a little larger. If it's busy (which it is a lot), you may not have room to comfortably sit and enjoy your crepe. On the up side, they've extended their hours and are open 7 days a week now. You can also call ahead and place your order.
(4)Monica M.
I had the Kevin Bacon & I added guacamole. Delicious!!
(4)Bradley N.
#099 This is a great little snack spot next to the Baltimore train station and Charles Theater district. The classic crepe Suzette is, well, classic. And the savory choices are nice to share with someone you love - or at least someone you don't mind sharing food with. You will probably have to wait a little to be served and end up waiting for a streetside or indoor table, but it's a crepe place, after all. It's not McDonald's. You'll be lovin' it nonetheless.
(3)Jeremy A.
First off, the crepes are really good. The staff is correctly trained on how not to screw up making a crepe. Too bad the staff hasn't been taught manners. I went Friday during Artscape because I knew I could get a good meal at a good price - Sofi's is my regular pre-movie meal. The guy working there was far more concerned with making fun of the customers than doing his job. He's the kind of person that doesn't realize that Portlandia is laughing at him, not with him. Too bad, I used to like this place, but that kind of rudeness has totally turned me off of going back again.
(2)Sonia P.
The crepe itself was great. It was a little thicker than the crepes that I'm used to but it works because its quite fluffy and tasty. They definitely did a good job on that recipe. For my filling I chose smores, which I wasnt too crazy for and I am super crazy smore fan. I will definitely never get the smores again but I think I will have to go back and try something else or perhaps stick to my nutella usual. Once I try some more I will definitely be back to change my 3 star status! The staff was also great, they are very friendly and helpful.
(3)June L.
The BAT (bacon and avocado) and classic (ham & gruyere) are extremely good! Explosion of taste in my mouth!
(5)J. M.
First-rate crepes. My only complaint is the hours. This should be a 24/7 place!
(5)Kristina K.
Mmmmmm... if you love crepes made before your eyes, this is the place to go. My absolute favorite is the perfectly balanced bbq shredded pork and cheese. The crepe florentine was good but a bit bland, and the godfather (salami, cheese, etc.) was decent but bit oily due to heating of the meats. Check the hours before you come here as, unfortunately, this place is sparsely open (Th-Sat in pm by Penn Station; during the day M-F downtown Baltimore) and is, sadly, not available for a grab-and-go breakfast or brunch. But, if you are in luck and they are open, commuters marooned by the train system, travelers, visitors, and locals would love the opportunity to relax with a quick bite of the gooey yumminess served here.
(4)JJ J.
I've been here numerous times. Some times have been better than others. But i think i've found my formula that works, and i'm happy to share it. If you are in the mood for an awesome savory crepe, try the Florentine without the parmesan sauce, and pay an extra dollar to get egg added to it. Also, ask for it more well done, so that it is closer to crispy rather than mushy. On a side note, their microbrewed Root Beer is AMAZING. It comes in a bottle and was awarded Best Root Beer by NY Times. It really is amazing. Get it with your crepe! My other favorite is to get the "Mozzarella, Fresh Basil, Tomato with cracked pepper & olive oil" one with egg added.
(5)Carrie B.
I love that this place is within walking distance from my house, as I could eat every meal here for weeks and never tire of it. But even though the entire menu looks delicious, I could never give up the Motz - fresh mozzarella, basil, and tomato that is amazing every time I get it. The hours are also much better than they used to be (now that they're open 7 days a week). Extra points for the outdoor seating (when it's nice outside) and pleasantly attentive staff; I've even had a staff member come out with a bowl of water for my dog while my friends and I ate our crepes. If only the indoor seating were a little more spacious, this place would really be perfect!
(4)Judy C.
Sofi's is my preferred place to get food if I am catching a movie at the Charles or going to hang out in the Station North area. It's cheaper than the restaurants around the area, so it's just more appealing to me. Their crepes are fabulous (light and tasty)! Crepes Florentine is my favorite savory crepe (the sunflower seeds are a big plus!), and I simply love almost all of the sweet crepes. My complaints are that they are only open on Thursday-Sunday, and the line is usually long.
(4)Dylan S.
The crepes are good, but the hours are kind ridiculous. They open at 11:30am and two Saturdays in a row now we arrived about 10min early only to be scoffed at and told to wait. Ok, you're not open. That's fine and I'll wait. My complaint is that both times there were clearly three people standing in the doorway chatting just waiting to open and, worse, they guy who tells you they aren't open appears to be some creep who doesn't even work there and just stands in the doorway! In sweatpants and a trenchcoat X2 to boot! Almost ridiculous enough to make me head back and just mess with the dude ten minutes early again. :) Best bet is to try it for a dessert crepe sometime (anything nutella!), just not before 11:30am!
(3)Sonal V.
Maybe because I have had a lot of really great crepes in my day, I'm a bit picky. let me start by saying the staff here is super friendly,welcoming, and helpful. The crepe choices are really interesting and they have options I haven't seen in other places. I especially liked that they had a no-cheese option. I was also into the counter seating type atmosphere. I wanted to love this place but what got me is the strong egg flavor of the actual crepe. I've never had a crepe that's a bit heavy and tasting so strongly of egg. For someone who doesn't really like eggs, it just didn't hit the spot. However, if you love egg, you may add on the two stars.
(3)Bmore Judgemental ..
Good crepes! Get the Reuben, weird but not awful. Also their ice coffee is really good, they use frozen coffee cubes for ice so it doesn't get watered down.
(5)Alisa K.
Pretty good but definitely nowhere near the best crepes I've had - a little soggy. They wrap them in foil so you can eat them on the go (sort of like in Paris), but I prefer to savor my crepes with a knife and fork.
(3)Fat T.
Crepes here are one of the best coast to coast. Cinnamon and sugar crepe: awesome. S'mores crepes: even better.
(5)Amy C.
Although this is a smaller store, I prefer this location over the one at 333 N. Charles St. The sitting area is cleaner and more comfortable. The coffee is self-serve. My only complaint is the same as everyone else's--their odd hours of opening late on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.
(4)A S.
Awesome crepes and very portable! Not a lot of seating but still worth it. Would definitely go to again when I'm in the area, best crepes I've ever had.
(5)Thao N.
A crepe should not be served in a little cone thing. It makes it super soggy if you don't eat quickly enough. Not a lot of choices/selection of things you can add. They didn't even have strawberries- which I know were being sold in the markets.
(1)Kate P.
Sofi's Crepes are divine. I especially like the turkey/pesto/cranberry one. It is VERY filling and delicious. I have been to both locations. The one on Charles Street near the train station doesn't have indoor seating, so it's much nicer in the summer when you can sit outside. The one thing I don't love is the service. I usually get ignored and they often have kind of a bad attitude. But hey, it's Baltimore.
(4)Courtney C.
Hey Sofi, Nice Crepes! The future husband and I were in need of a grab and go dinner in the city. Thanks to Yelp we decided on this place. I'm so glad that we did! We found parking on the street and headed towards the small group of people sitting outside with their dogs, newspapers, and crepes wrapped in foil. Inside, we watched as the girls behind the counter made the crepes we would soon be enjoying. We were glad it wasn't busy at 6is on a Friday evening because the space is rather small and cramped. We examined the menu posted on the wall and decided on the Florentine, Godfather and Apple Crisp for dessert. Several minutes later they were wrapping our crepes to go and we were off! I wish we could have sat and enjoyed our crepes there, but we were more than satisfied with our little car picnic. My Florentine Crepe was very very good. Plenty of mushrooms, gooey cheese, but not runny, perfect amount of Parmesan sauce and delicious spinach. The crepe had gotten a little soggy on our 5-10 min drive, but what do you expect when you wrap a hot crepe in foil and seal it? It wasn't too messy, but a bit of a challenge in the car. My man devoured his crepe in no time despite its size. Seriously, these things are more than adequate for a meal. We were both so full, but had one more crepe to try! We sucked it up and dove in (sharing a dessert crepe was a great idea). So many apples, yummy cinnamon. The perfect ending to our successful meal! If you're looking for a change from the standard sandwich and are in a hurry, this place is a winner! I'm happy to say that my first crepe experience was a HUGE success. The fiance has already asked to go back this week. I think he likes it! On a side note, their AC was broken and it was on the warm side in there to say the least. I felt horrible for the girls behind the counter having the work over those hot crepes all night. They were still helpful and friendly even in their misery. Yes Sofi, those are some nice crepes. Thanks for sharing them with us!
(4)Gira P.
I love this place. It's so cute and small. The crepes are great! I really enjoyed the forentine and the nutella. I'm sure all of them taste delicious haha. And they have glass coke bottles!! It also has the Charles Theater right next to it, so it would be perfect for a cute date. The only flaw I can think of is the hours.
(4)Christyn K.
What a hoppin' little place! You know a place has gotta be good when you arrive at 9pm on a Saturday night and there are people spewing out of the front door. We waited in line - first outside then inside -- and ordered three crepes. The interior of the restaurant is only small enough to cater about half a dozen people, so we tried to find a table in its front, only to find them all wet from the rain earlier. No sooner did we wipe the tables off and sit down did it start raining again, so we were forced inside and found ourselves crammed against a dozen other wet hipsters. People were in good spirits about it, but it was sad that we literally did not have anywhere to eat our food once it was served -- and since my s'mores crepe was not necessarily easy to eat to begin with, we were a little bummed out. Finally snuck into the Charles theater next door and ate our food there. 5 stars for yummy food -- but only 3 stars for available seating = 4 stars it is. Also - little parking available on the street and in some pay-per-hour neighboring lots.
(4)Marie G.
Date of visit: 2/24/12 evening This review is purely about service. Why? Because I walked out after having to wait forever without any acknowledgment from any member of the staff. There was no line; no food being prepped. Just laziness and monotone chit (barely expanding to chat) amongst the 3 staff people I saw. From the start, I had tried to make eye contact and chime in with an "Excuse me" or something, but it was VERY clear these folks are highly skilled in avoidance and non-service. One member (a guy) was leaving and had to exit via the front counter where I stood. Basically, he just looked at me expecting me to move. I thought he was there to take my order (silly me!). I probably waited about 5-8 min. And, mind you, the behind-the-counter area was small so these staff knew I was there. At least a "We'll be with you in a minute" would have been better than nothing.
(1)Deanna L.
Oh baby I love this place. I am a HUGE fan of salty crepes, and this place has got excellent combinations. They have soft crepes (as opposed to the crunchy ones), which I like a lot more for crepes packed with cheese, salami, peppers. My favorites are the Motz and the Godfather. YUM!
(5)Matthew L.
Not bad at all. Good cheap eats. Good simple cart fare served up to go. I like going here in the summer after a movie at the Charles, or eatting at Tapas Tiatro. I highly recommend the apple cinamon.
(3)MC And Mario D.
This place is one of the reasons I miss Baltimore. Sofi's Crepes and it's neighbor, Charles Theatre. I have a sweet tooth, but my absolute favorite crepe was their "Sliced Turkey, Pesto Mayonnaise & Cranberry Chutney". It sounds like such a strange combination (I said it myself the first time I read it), but it worked for me. Probably the savory & sweet combination. I always had to grab this favorite before heading into watch my movie at the Charles, sometimes even at the expense of missing the beginning of my movie. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. My other favorite, though you can get it at any crepe place, is the Nutty Banana.
(5)Joy B.
I JUST LOVE THIS PLACE! Any real French crepe in the $5-$8 range works for me! The fillings are absolutely delicious and they have so many varieties...you can have a savory (lunch/dinner main entree) crepe or choose a sweet (dessert) crepe. Perfect for a meal or a snack. I got the Crepe Florentine: Fresh Spinach, Mushrooms, Gruyere Cheese, Sunflower Seed (but left out the Pepper Parmesan sauce). They roll it up and hand it to you to eat sitting down, or on the go like a cone.---Just wonderful! Do keep in mind this is a tiny, tiny place sometimes the line is out the door and no where to sit, but totally worth it! I definitely recommend you try it for sure! YUM!
(5)Merda M.
Okay, so this place was okay. The atmosphere was cute, in its tiny-ness. So here is my problem. Why the hell would one ever put RANCH DRESSING on a freaking crepe!?!?! Ranch dressing isn't French! It shouldn't be on crepes! It has no right to be on a crepe. There is no purpose for the ranch dressing to be there. That was all I could taste. I got the gruyere cheese crepe with mushrooms and spinach, and apparently Ranch dressing. It was so overwhelming, that I thought I was just eating ranch dressing wrapped up in a thin crust. Ugh, well not that I plan on returning to Baltimore any time soon, but I think I'll pass this place up on the next visit.....
(2)Thea C.
*2.5* Am I the only one that is not really into this place? Ok so yeah, it's cute, it's next to the Charles and crepes still get a bit of a novelty factor thing in this context but I just don't like their crepes all that much. Ok so maybe I've had my chef sister make it for me and teach me the intricacies of a fine, fine crepe and in turn has made me insanely picky ( and yes, A BIG ELITIST CREPE JERK) about the 'crepe' part itself where Sofi's totally fails at. Its gummy texture just destroys the whole experience for me and I've had it a few times with that same unappealing texture. They get a star because the fillings aren't bad and they put a lot in for your money (especially the Nutella crepe--at least I can mask the bad crepe with a MOUTHFUL of nutella). Another just because it is good business strategizing in their part to have a cheaper, quicker food alternative for the pre-theater crowd and lunch crowd. Other than that, parking sucks at peak hours in the area--as to be expected and yeah, I can't say I ever wanted to go out of my way to go here (and I live pretty close by).
(3)Alyssa B.
So yummy! They're all delicious, savory and sweet. You really can't pick a bad one. The space can be tight if they're busy but just be patient. Lots of options for vegetarians. I'd always get BATS without the bacon or the chick pea one and add cheese. I wish crepes were vegan :(
(4)
