“ 10/10!!! The best authentic Mediterranean food I've ever had. I got the lamb chop the first time and then the chicken shawarma both OUTSTANDING. Fall off the bone delicious. The owners are great. It's a very clean setting with outdoor seating. I will be back to visit every chance I get! ”
“ They mentioned all chicken is halal. And some of the lamb in the menu is halal too. We were pleasantly surprised to see halal option in the outlet mall. Food was amazing. I ordered one grilled chicken shawarma (number 19 on the menu) ... ”
“ Honestly the best Mediterranean food around! The chicken shawarma is my personal favorite but also the hummus is AMAZING! I love that the restaurant is in the outlet mall now so it’s super convenient to get to! ”
“ First time trying Mediterranean food. It was very tasty, with great portions, and the salad was crispy and fresh tasting. The fresh made pita bread was so delicious. The owners know how to make you feel like family. Wish you only success, and thank you for coming to Woodburn. ”
“ We recently tried Sophia’s Cafe for the first time, and I was genuinely impressed! The menu is full of vibrant, authentic flavors that reflect the owner’s Jordanian roots. You can truly taste the care and tradition in every bite. The falafel was made fresh to order—crispy on the outside, perfectly spiced, and it instantly took me back to my time in Beirut. The freshly baked bread paired beautifully with their creamy, flavorful hummus, and the lamb shawarma wrap was absolutely delicious. Generous portions, fast service, and incredible attention to detail made the whole experience stand out. Nizam, the owner, clearly puts his heart into the food and his customers. His warmth and dedication to service were evident from the moment we walked in. It’s a joy to find a contemporary cafe offering authentic Middle Eastern cuisine and a welcoming atmosphere right in the heart of the Woodburn Outlet Malls, just off I-5. We’ll definitely be back—and highly recommend you check it out too! ”
“ I’ve only been to Sophia’s Cafe a handful of times, but each visit has been great. One time they did mess up my order, but it was totally acceptable because the food was still delicious. In fact, I ended up ordering the same thing every time I go back now! The food is always fresh, and as far as I can tell, it’s incredibly authentic. It’s definitely become one of my go-to spots for a satisfying meal. ”
