About SISTER

Hawthorne brunch devotees head here for morning plates that skip standard cafe formulas. The kitchen turns out breakfast gnocchi crowned with a rich poached egg, alongside crisp pork belly Benedict and grilled Wholly crumpets. Behind the counter, baristas pull Single O espresso topped with shaved chocolate pieces that slowly melt into the cup. Between pours of iced matcha and house-made hash browns, the counter crew catches regulars by name and navigates dietary tweaks without missing a beat.
