Sophia’s is always an experience. The food is very good, but what really makes the restaurant special is the amazing staff. Every server we’ve ever had has been fantastic and somehow makes the whole table happier. We’ve had great experiences there for date nights, but it’s also one of our favorite places for an early dinner with our younger kids. Sometimes Sophia even takes the time to walk around the restaurant and say hello, which is a really nice personal touch. And while it’s definitely not the reason we keep coming back, the food is also incredibly reasonably priced. My neighbors might get mad at me for saying this, but they could raise the prices 50% and I’d still think it was a great value. Great food and wonderful people! Definitely worth experiencing!

Creperie

Camp Hill

About the restaurant

Family travels to France led us to starting our crêpe journey. In 2019 we began making crêpes from our cozy tent at wineries around Central PA. When the world shut down in 2020, our dreams may have seemed out of reach, but we took a scary risk and invested in a mobile food truck. Six months later we opened our family crêperie in Mechanicsburg, PA and because of the communities love and support we closed our Mechanicsburg location February 2023 and relocated to a larger location in Camp Hill, PA in March 2023. We strive to offer a unique brunch experience and dishes crafted with love, memories, our culture and tradition. Our family dream has become more than we have ever imagined with hard work and your support. If you need a Parisian getaway, look no further, visit us and allow us to transport you to Paris and beyond!

Best meal I have had in many years. Celebrating my birthday and received a complimentary chocolate dessert with a candle. My nephew's brownie with peanut butter ice cream was amazing! All of the meat was cooked to perfection.
