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.

  • Breakfast Gnocchi: Rich pan-fried gnocchi served with a poached egg for a savory shift away from conventional morning staples.
  • Single O & Melting Chocolate: Shaved chocolate pieces melt directly into Single O espresso, paired alongside toasted Wholly crumpets.
  • Savory Brunch Plates: House-favorite pork belly Benedict, crisp croquettes, and scratch-made hash browns.
  • Thoughtful Dietary Adjustments: Attentive counter service that readily accommodates dietary swaps and egg-free breakfast plates.
