Sissi is fast, friendly, and a fixture of the neighborhood. The narrow pink space has anchored the area since the ’90s, churning out bomboloni and impeccably fluffy Italian brioche (filled to order with velvety pastry cream). Mornings bring a line of regulars waiting for freshly squeezed juices spiked with ginger or pomegranate, while espresso is taken quickly at the bar. Later in the day, after-school kids come by for hot chocolate in espresso cups, finished with whipped cream. There’s always something seasonal for people who stop by regularly, like housemade quince paste. You can linger in the small garden or simply take in the scene—fashion and design industry folks have also claimed this spot as their own. For something savory, order the warm, crusty Italian toast layered with prosciutto cotto and melty fontina.
