The old saying that breakfast is the most important meal of the day is totally true - especially if you live in New York. You'll find plenty of great brunch spots to check out around the state, both in the cities and Upstate, but if you happen to be looking for a place that's open early and ready to fill your belly with the best breakfast in town, then you simply must stop by Sophia’s Restaurant in Buffalo. This local favorite is more than just a spot for Buffalo residents to hop in and grab a quick bite - it's even made a name for itself on Food Network!

This quaint building on the corner of Blum Avenue and Military Road blends into its surroundings, but it’s home to one of Buffalo’s most delicious hidden gems.

Sophia's is a family-owned and operated restaurant that many of us have loved for what feels like ages.

The interior of the restaurant has a simple yet inviting charm to it, but trust us when we say that it won’t be the decor that you’ll be focused on.

Your mouth with start watering uncontrollably from the moment you step in the door and are greeted by the sights and smells of the delicious breakfast dishes.

This place is so darn tasty that it’s hard to even pick where to begin when describing it. For starters, you'll absolutely never go thirsty here at Sophia's.

Sophia’s has been known (and loved) for its decadent Bloody Marys and themed mimosas since day one. These bright, colorful morning drinks are as pleasing to the eye as they are to your taste buds.

While both the breakfast and lunch menus are downright delightful, there’s definitely a reason why you’ll find an early morning crowd gathered at Sophia’s - breakfast here is well worth waiting for.

You’ll find all of the American classics, including poached eggs, omelets, French toast, pancakes, and jaw-dropping skillets.

Oh...the skillets!

Our personal favorite dish is the famous Apple Cinnamon Walnut French toast. It’s absolutely a must-try.

In addition to the traditional breakfast fare, you’ll also find some unique Greek dishes on the menu. There are several types of Souvlaki if you’re looking for a more savory meal. Whatever you choose, the best breakfast in Buffalo awaits!

But don't just take our word for it...Sophia's has even made an appearance on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. How's that for convincing?
