Little Sister is a Puerto Rican café, restaurant, and bakery on Hope Street in the Blackstone Boulevard Realty Plat Historic District. By day it runs breakfast pastries alongside brunch and lunch, drawing on tropical comfort foods from the owners' childhood in Puerto Rico, flavors picked up along their travels, and New England's seasonal bounty.
Beyond the daytime menu, Little Sister offers a six-course tasting menu with wine pairings on select Thursday nights, open by invitation to those on its email list. The menu features fresh Rhode Island seafood, vegetables from local growers, and desserts from its own bakers. Sunday evenings bring a separate wine tasting to the same room.
The kitchen was named a James Beard Foundation semifinalist for Best Chef: Northeast in 2023. Regulars have made the Puerto Rican brunch a particular draw, drawn in by the space's intimate, familiar feel.
