About Sweet tooth gelato & desserts

Hawthorne’s go-to dessert parlor dishes out late-night sugar fixes with generous portions and covered outdoor seating. Forget standard scoop counters—the kitchen crafts towering sweets late into the evening. Regulars lean toward the crisp waffles topped with viral Dubai chocolate and vanilla bean gelato, while cake stands show off rich slabs of Biscoff, Nutella, and fudge. It easily doubles as an after-dinner perch for espresso and tea when everything else has shuttered. Tables fill with sharing platters like the waffles for two, cookie cakes, and dairy-free scoops served by a patient crew.

  • Loaded Signature Sweets: Features trending sweet treats like Dubai chocolate cheesecake and hefty Biscoff and Nutella cakes.
  • Generous Shareable Waffles: Crispy waffle platters built for two deliver shareable, generous portions for tables or takeaway.
  • Late-Evening Seating: A welcoming post-dinner hangout with covered tables, hot coffee, and warm hospitality open late.

Why Sweet Tooth Gelato & Desserts Stands Out

Discover why locals choose Sweet tooth gelato & desserts for late-night cravings, signature waffles, and comforting family treats.

  • Late-Evening Dine-In Dessert Setting

    Open past typical daytime cafe hours, the venue provides tables and undercover seating for post-dinner meetups over dessert and coffee.

    Great to have a place that doesn’t shut super early where you can have dessert, tea and coffee with tables to sit at.

  • After-Hours Local Coffee & Treats

    A convenient neighborhood destination offering warm beverages and sweet courses well past 5pm when other local options close.

    One of the few places in the area open for coffee after 5pm!

  • Specialty Dubai Chocolate Waffles

    Freshly cooked hot waffles served with viral Dubai chocolate and pistachio toppings that draw destination visitors.

    100% recommend this place all round but even more so for the popular Dubai chocolate dessert waffle.

  • Signature Biscoff Loaded Waffles

    Warm waffles layered with rich speculoos sauce and toppings provide an indulgent, conversion-worthy dessert experience.

    I ordered the Biscoff Waffels. Food was amazing! Definitely recommend.

  • Comforting End-Of-Week Atmosphere

    The inviting dessert environment and comforting warm treats create an ideal sanctuary to unwind after a demanding week.

    Love the atmosphere here, very comforting for a cold Friday night

  • Patient & Welcoming Family Experience

    Families are made to feel relaxed and unhurried as staff patiently accommodate children choosing custom topping combinations.

    Always exceptional service (and patience while my kids slowly decide on their combination of flavours and toppings)

Before you head over

Helpful tips on timing, portioning, and menu options for your visit

  • Late-Evening Dessert & Coffee Option

    If you are heading out for coffee, tea, or a seated dessert late into the evening after dinner, note that this cafe stays open past 5:00 PM and accommodates late arrivals with undercover seated tables.

  • Pacing Rich Specialty Toppings

    Patrons craving trending loaded items like Dubai chocolate, Biscoff, and Bueno waffles or cheesecakes should expect very rich, generous portions that are ideal for pairing with gelato or sharing between diners.

  • Dairy-Free & Dietary Considerations

    If visiting with family or guests who have dietary restrictions, the menu includes dedicated dairy-free gelato options alongside classic combinations to accommodate sensitive stomachs.
