While most people know about CHOW, not everyone kn

While most people know about CHOW, not everyone knows about their sister breakfast spot in Sisters. Cottonwood Café is located in the heart of Sisters, serving brunch favorites everyday from 8 am til 2 pm.

Here, you’ll find some CHOW favorites and a few specials only found at Cottonwood. The Blackstone is a longtime and savory favorite at Cottonwood. Two poached eggs are served with spinach and smoked bacon over cornmeal crusted tomatoes, and topped with béarnaise sauce.

Per usual, you’ll get your choice of sides. The sweet potatoes are not to be missed—even if you have to order an a la carte side of them! (We sure love those bacon cheddar grits, too…)

If you’re heading into Sisters for the day or spending a cozy weekend, consider starting out your morning at Cottonwood Café with a cozy cocktail and hearty brunch. Open everyday from 8 am til 2 pm.
