Visit websiteAbout 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.

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.
Nazlee Atmeh 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!
Heather Rees 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.

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