Sofia Cafe, a new independent coffee shop described as a welcoming space inspired by friendship and comfort, is planning to open in Trois-Rivières in September 2026.
The project is led by four friends — Mathilde, Thomas, Sofia, and William — who recently announced their plans on Instagram. While the exact address has yet to be revealed, the team says the cafe will aim to offer a sense of home for guests. “Behind Sofia Cafe is the story of four great friends and a common dream: to open a cafe where it feels like home. Soon, this dream will settle in Trois-Rivières, opening scheduled in September 2026,” the team wrote in a recent post.
Details on the concept remain limited, but the founders have encouraged future customers to follow their journey through the cafe’s Instagram page, where progress updates and announcements will be shared leading up to the launch. The team recently revealed the company’s branding image on its social media. As of now, there are no other locations planned.
Sofia Cafe will join a growing wave of independent, community-oriented coffee shops across Québec. In Trois-Rivières, the concept may appeal to both students and residents seeking a cozy spot to work, relax, or meet with friends.
Menu specifics have not yet been released, though the cafe is expected to serve specialty coffee and other cafe staples. The team’s messaging suggests a focus on atmosphere and hospitality, with an emphasis on creating a welcoming, lived-in environment.
This will be the first business venture for the four co-founders, who say the idea evolved from a long-shared dream. More information is expected closer to the planned opening in fall 2026.
