  A great little place! Very casual style; you'll want to go there to relax and have a chat with other locals. The food is good and comes with nice, hearty portions. The staff is always willing to shoot the breeze for a little while, too, which is really nice.
  
  This is a very laid-back place. It's not a fine dining establishment, rather a great little breakfast/lunch spot for casual Ipswich dining.

  The place provides omelets and other breakfast favorite s served all day long. The gyro omelets were great, the feta cheese provided that extra flavor. Service can be slow, but well worth the wait. Paleo dieters can opt for an omelet, and substitute toast for sloced tomatoes.

  3 Star Quality Breakfast diner....
  
  We headed out to Sophia's as a result of the reviews provided on Yelp.   We were there around 11AM on a Monday morning where breakfast and lunch was served. Around the time that we sat down, the place was dying down.  There were (2) other tables who appeared to be closing their tab & on route to leave and our server was extremely attentive.  
  
  My boyfriend ordered  3 egg omelete with cheddar cheese and steak tips.  As much as he wanted to give this place a 2-star, he, nonetheless, finished and ate everything.  He opted out from the hash browns & bread, and that alone filled him up. As a result, our overall score for this place is 3 stars, as we have had better in other diners/breakfast joints in the New England area.
  
  I ended up getting a cucumber, tomatoes,  red onions, olives, feta cheese salad topped with olive oil & grilled steak tips.  Was in the mood for something authentic/Greek...
  
  I have to say,  the steak tips were so moist & flavorful; I was in awe!!  Wishing I knew the recipe as it was soooooo delicious!!  I don't know if the owner is Greek but there seems to be Greek influence in the selection and the menu is very long and extensive.    I've been to several other breakfast joints and this to me is mediocre.  Those who have provided such great reviews on here about Sophia's, I do thank them in advance.  You will get good quality and fresh ingredients...however, for what we ordered...it was a little steep for breakfast which included tip our tab totaled $32 and for that I am giving it 3 stars.  
  
  A little pricey for breakfast/brunch, but we were extremely satisfied. The service was OK.  Once you arrive, it does give you that quaint/country style feel. There seems to be only one server working while we were there.  If all the tables in the restaurant was taken, I don't believe that one server would be able to handle all the demands. Our server was sweet, however, based on prior experiences in other diners/restaurants serving breakfast, this was mediocre.  A little more refine than the "norm...."
  
  Overall, this was our first time at Ipswich, so our review may be a little bias as we have not been to any other breakfast place around there.
  
  It is a great place to stop in for breakfast/lunch before heading to the beach.  I do recommend that you try this place out!

  The food is home made and well prepared. The staff is always helpful and friendly.  I find myself returning to this classic breakfast joint.

  We stopped here around 1pm on a Sunday after exploring Crane Estate for a few hours. Service was fast and friendly, and the food was good. It helped that we were both super-hungry. My husband ordered a giro (excellent!) and I had the spanakopita, which had great flavor, but could have been crisper on the top. The coffee was perfectly passable. The atmosphere is very casual, but it was a pleasant, inexpensive place to stop. As other posters have mentioned, it's cash only.
