Nestled in the historic Post Alley, Sisters European Cafe has been a staple of the Pike Place Market experience for over 30 years. We specialize in European-inspired comfort food served with the fast, friendly energy of Seattle’s favorite marketplace. Whether you’re a local grabbing a quick bite or a visitor exploring the cobblestones, we invite you to pull up a chair on our outdoor patio and enjoy the best people-watching in the city.
The Story of Sisters Founded in 1991, Sisters European Cafe was the vision of three sisters—Mirala, Aruna, and Mariam Jacobi—who brought the flavors of their native Frankfurt to the heart of Seattle. For over 30 years, we’ve remained a family-rooted destination where European tradition meets the bustling energy of Pike Place Market.
Handcrafted & Market-Fresh. We believe great food starts with great ingredients. That’s why our menu is built on a foundation of items sourced directly from our fellow Pike Place Market vendors.
The Secret is in the Focaccia!!! Every sandwich is served on our signature grilled focaccia bread, toasted to a perfect crunch and brushed with herb-infused olive oil.
A Hidden Gem in Post Alley. While the crowds wait in hour-long lines nearby, locals know to step into our brick-walled nook for quick service and an authentic market feel.
Seasons of the PNW. Our cozy indoor seating and vibrant outdoor patio make us the perfect year-round stop, whether you're dodging the drizzle or soaking up a rare Seattle summer day.
A Menu That Stands the Test of Time
While the city around us changes, our commitment to the classics doesn't. From our world-inspired soups to our fan-favorite "Egg-centric" breakfast titles, we serve the same beloved recipes that have made us a "go-to" spot since the early 90s.
Breakfast Highlights: Try the Egg & Hop (cheddar, tomato, and basil) or the Gesundheit for a flavorful start to your day.
Lunch Staples: The Tuna Melt and the Reuben remain customer favorites for their perfect balance of ingredients and hearty portions.
