During the warmer months, Sofia features a European-inspired courtyard patio with greenery and fairy lights. The interior space is also like no place else, as its filled with one-of-a-kind artwork from Taglialatella Gallery next door. Frequently curated and refreshed, you never know if you’ll sit down next to a Banksy, Mr. Brainwash or even an original Andy Warhol.
