Ate breakfast here with three business colleagues. One had oatmeal, one had eggs/bacon, two of us had omelets, and I had fish cakes. Everything really good. Great service, friendly. True New England experience. Place is clean. Doesn't get much better than this. Why can't all places be like this? No fuss, just really good food. As others have noted, this is cash only business, so don't bother with your credit cards. read more

Great food, Great service!! The breakfast was absolutely perfect! We had the Irish Eggs Benedict and a spinach, feta,tomato omelette with their homemade rye bread and was one of the best breakfasts I've had when visiting the area over the years! It's family style charm was perfect, loved that the locals were there and were so friendly too!! Definitely would recommend and go again! read more

We stopped in Sunday after a stay in Lockport, Ma. I got the Irish Benedict and it was delicious. My girlfriend got the French toast and loved it. Service was fine and all in all meal went nice... Nice spot to check out if in the area. read more

Wow. Fantastic breakfast. Had the fam visiting from out of town, took them on a drive up to Good Harbor Beach and decided to grab breakfast in Gloucester. Decided on Two Sisters based on the yelp rating. We all ordered the French Toast Combo, and we ordered a side of the fish cakes, to be adventurous (we all had never had them). French toast was some of the best I've ever had. Highly recommend. Potatoes and Sausage were tasty. Eggs were just okay. Fish cakes ended up being the surprise hit. Super tasty and would definitely order them next time I'm in there. Overall, delicious breakfast. read more

2 Café - Amazing French toast! Fish cakes were delicious. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gloucester, Massachusetts

They slammed the door on my brown child's face as we were entering. The place was nowhere near closing time by the way. They let white people in right after us. I wanted to cry at how disgusted I was, I wish I had recorded it. read more

We stopped here before going on a whale watch, the staff was amazing and so was the food! They knew we had a time limit as we had to make it back to the boat and they were great about it! read more

This is the perfect place for the solitary traveler. If you arrive before 8am you'll see the single server give sass to all the regulars who give it right back. Fun and feisty. Great for people watching. If there's a fee seat at a table - ask - they'll likely let you join them. Food is out of this world amazing. Had the build your own omelet with white American cheese, mushrooms, asparagus, and spinach. Wowsa. Rye toast was very light and very flavorful. Coffee was just diner coffee. Potatoes were perfect. BIG thumbs up. read more

Love the sisters what a great place and awesome breakfast, I go there 2 times a week ,I'd go more but I'm only up on cape Ann for the summer & early fall , you won't be let down 5 thumbs up 5 star place to dine read more

Whenever we are in Boston to see family, we have to get up to Two Sisters for breakfast - it is just so damn good. Is this a fancy place? Absolutely not. Will you get a fantastic meal? You bet. I am partial to their egg in a hole (made with their incredible homemade anadama bread), my husband lives for their hash (extra crispy, of course) and our little girl gives two thumbs up for the pancakes. I think they do an amazing job with their food whether you like savory or sweet. Of course you'll get a bit of the salt from the ladies that work there but that's part of the fun. ;-) We love Two Sisters and I can't wait to go back. Highly recommended for a no fuss, no muss, DELICIOUS meal. read more

Average menu. Nothing overly exciting except whatever specials they are offering. The do have a large selection of breads to choose from. The two cooks came over and sat down at the table with me to admire my daughter. They both made me a little uncomfortable saying weird things and touching my kid. I probably won't be back. The biscuits and gravy were pretty bland. Pancakes were good. read more

Horrible service. Owner was awful!!! Yelled at me when I asked about my food when the rest of the table got there's. Very disrespectful. Does not know how to serve food in a respectful manner. Should not be allowed to run a business. Very disappointed!!!! read more

Absolutely the best breakfast I have ever had! People we so nice and friendly. I would highly recommend the place. It's great!

Our experience started with a very nice police officer telling us that the meter maid won't be around for an hour or so and to not worry about putting money in the machine. Awesome! We walked into Two Sisters on a Saturday morning and got a seat right away at the bar. Service was great! Coffee was delicious and everything was super fresh. I ordered a spinach, mushroom, tomato omelette. It was light (not weighed down with grease or butter) and so super fresh and delicious. The rye bread was homemade and awesome! My friend ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on an English muffin and agreed: light, fresh and delicious! Highly recommend! read more

I've been a life long resident of Gloucester and I've just recently discovered this place! By far the best breakfast in Gloucester!!

Small space but excellent food. The best corn beef hash and fish cakes ever I've ever had in my life. Looks like a place frequented by the locals. read more

We bellied up to the counter looking for local takeout breakfast sandwiches to take with us on a Whale Watch and we're not disappointed! They even came with breakfast potatoes and everything we needed to enjoy them! (They didn't need ketchup they were so good!) The owner, I believe, joked around sarcastically with our boys and they loved it! The waitress was busy and attentive. Our order was correct and delicious! We enjoyed coffee while we waited and then she refilled us in to go cups! read more

We checked it out due to its great yelp review. Food was mediocre, but the server had a bad attitude and was very impatient. Came to us right after she brought us the menu and expected we to place our order before we even took a look at it. Same thing happened at the end towards our meal. Brought us the check before we finish, while there's no one waiting in line. Regret dining in and hope we had brought our money somewhere else. read more

It's unclear to me why this place has 4.5 stars. The highlight for me was the local character, but the food, service, and ambiance were meh. Food: We ordered corned beef hash and french toast. The hash was bland and accompanying home fries were burned. The french toast was tasty, but nothing too exciting about it. Service: Our waitress was nice but forgot our drinks. Midway through our meal the owner brusquely thrust our bill onto our table. Not a very welcoming gesture! Ambiance: Feels like a local diner. Not particularly charming, no bells or whistles. Don't get me wrong, this place is not bad. Seems like a reliable spot for breakfast staples. But if you're traveling through like me and trying to find somewhere memorable, I would recommend looking elsewhere. read more

I took a trip up to Two Sisters in Gloucester with a friend after we heard about the new owner/operator team-- well worth the drive! The food was fantastic and fresh, and the place was clean, bright, and inviting. The staff were all friendly. The place was busy, but it seemed to run like a Swiss clock. I got the Nor'easter Omelette (tomatoes, onions, peppers, and cheese). I'm telling you, the omelette was cooked to perfection. Some places cook their egg so thin it's like chewing on cellophane, but not here. And some places cook the omelette too hot and it's all browned, but not here! These omelettes are yellow and light and fluffy and stuffed with fresh vegetables that are cooked soft but not burnt, and it feels like biting into a cloud. And I've never said that before about anything, so it must be true. And the home fries are also cooked perfectly, soft all the way through without being burnt, just enough seasoning, and no grease! And they don't over-butter the toast! And they offer baked beans as a substitute for home fries, which is hard to find these days! I wish I didn't live a half an hour away! read more

I had fish cakes and wife had Red Sox Bene. Both were really great. Breads were made in restaurant and they had 11 different choices plus muffins. Wife reports poached eggs medium were prefect. read more

This is one of the best breakfast places I have ever been to, and that is saying a lot. A simple place you could easily overlook, the room has a handful of booths and a few tables. There is also a counter. Service is good, with a twist of fun in the way of saltiness. Safe to say most people will enjoy this. The food is absolutely amazing...I had a sausage and cheese omellete with with a side of hollandaise, home fries and some amazing toast. My companion and I also shared a side of french toast. The Omellete was the best folded style I have ever had-and I usually prefer the fluffy kind with the stuff built in, however this was just scrumptious. The home fries were also some of the best I have had...even though they weren't seasoned, I was surprised at how good they were. The french toast were also yummy. The lady enjoyed some Eggs Benedict that I sampled, these were also great. I have to say, I can't wait to get back and hope this review doesn't work against my ability to get a table. Definitely check this place out!!! read more

New in town - and my husband and i were determined to find a good breakfast place. First one we tried was Two Sisters and our search is over!!! The food was absolutely mouth watering and the staff were awesome and made us feel right at home!! I'm sitting at the table AFTER we have finished our meals while hubby is out getting cash since we didn't realize it was cash only. Our server told us to ET and come back later and just enjoy our breakfast. Then the owner came over a little while later and assured us that she wasnt worried, just come back and pay the bill later or even tomorrow. I was floored!! My plate (i had Eggs Benedict) is completely cleaned and i am practically drooling over the smell of it still. Haha!!! Thank you sisters!!! We will most definitely be back!!! :-) read more

Unpretentious delicious "greasy spoon" type breakfast joint oozing with New England charm. I will definitely come back next time I'm in town. read more

Food was great. The flies that were being killed, not so much. All in all, a great joint for breakfast. The pumpkin pancakes were A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! read more

Breakfast was delicious and made to order. All bread is homemade and phenomenal. Owner is friendly and accommodating. Strongly encourage you if you're in the area to pay them a visit. read more

Being from out of town, getting into this cute diner was like walking back in time to a true small town diner. I really enjoyed the food, the service and the overall ambiance in two sisters. If you're driving up the coast towards Acadia, stop by this place for a local experience. read more

Love this place! It's truly a hidden jem. Large portions of food, great wait staff. Will definitely be returning. It is small, about 4 booths & 6 counter seats, that is it. First come first serve. They do not take reservations. The food was good. I got buttermilk pancakes and a side of bacon. Large pancakes & they sell real maple syrup for them. My boyfriend got the Irish Benedict made with homemade corn beef hash. Great local breakfast place with a good vibe. read more

Go for the eggs, stay for the banter. Up close and personal with a family like no other. "Friggin hug me you lousy bastard" at 7:45 am. Kidding me? None better. read more

Had the opportunity to head to Two Sisters with a few folks that I was in town with. Two Sisters is a small family run diner with a local feel. Breakfast was great, everyone ordered relatively safe bets; varying combinations of meat, eggs and potatoes. No one left unsatisfied. Would definitely go again if I were in town. read more

Love love love two sisters :) service was great food was excellent (the homemade bread is to die for) portions for the price outstanding. I will most definitely stop in there when I'm back this way.... Don't find places like this down in Florida Thank You Nicky and Eric read more

This is our go-to brunch spot. The serving sizes are just right and the food is prepared well. The fish cakes are a must try! The staff also definitely adds to the charm of the place. read more

Delicious food, generous portions, fast and friendly service! My taste buds and my tummy were satisfied.

breakfast that wont break the bank and will satisfy that craving (that I always get) for corned beef hash. homemade hash made with shreds of corned beef and potato hash, pan fried into a patty shape, so it easily slides onto fork and directly into mouth.. and gone along with perfect poached egg and a side of more hash. I ordered a half portion to try and be reasonable. it was reasonable, but I could have easily eaten twice as much and don't think I would've regretted it. decent coffee with free refills. friendly staff. diner feel. definitely recommended if you're in the area and need a bite. read more

When in Gloucester, Ma....... And you want breakfast... Make sure you make it over to TWO SISTERS!! The staff is awesome!! Always making me feel welcome and serving up the best breakfast!! ..... There are only 2 places I really enjoy going out for breakfast... 2 SISTERS and CITYSIDE DINER in Beverly!! We love this place for so many reasons!! read more

I love Two Sisters! I love all the food and I have never been disappointed about anything about them. In this visit I ordered the fish cake Benedict for breakfast. It was divine, as usual. It's your traditional eggs Benedict, but instead of Canadian bacon, it is replaced with haddock fish cakes. Haddock fish cakes are my new lover in the food world; hearty fish that is also tender and is mixed with bread and herbs and other yummy things. The eggs were poached to perfection too, soft and runny yolk but firm whites. The hollandaise sauce was rich and had that hint of lemon and the home fries were crispy and tender as can be. I love this place. Go here NOW!!!! read more

Excellent food and excellent service. Very friendly people. Thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast here!

I love diners. I really can't get enough! There will be a day when I start my own, but that venture is probably decades away unfortunately. When the doors do open, I hope to serve a corned beef hash half as good as the hash served at Two Sisters. It was the highlight upon highlights of my experience at Gloucester's best breakfast eatery. First I will say that the wait at Two Sisters can be lengthy. The seating only consists of about ten tables and another ten or so bar seats. If the line to get in is manageable, it is certainly worth your time. Once you sit, the service is friendly and accommodating. Of course I ordered the hash and eggs (with hash browns). Everything is cooked just right. The hash browns are crisped to perfection and the eggs were prepared just the way I asked (I mean, it's eggs...can't really screw that up). Now as I eluded to, the corned beef hash was the best I ever had. The most important part of a good hash is how it is cooked. I will take canned Hormel hash over homemade if it is prepared the right way. Not only does Two Sisters cook their hash to a tee, it's freshly made as well. Everyone in the party was satisfied with their breakfast. We also shared a plate of their french toast which was phenomenal. The portions were perfect and the meal came to about $12 per person. I would highly recommend checking out my diner whenever it should open. In the meantime (don't hold your breath), Two Sisters is the place to be for breakfast. It's far and away Cape Ann's best breakfast spot. read more

We ate here on Easter morning. Parking could have been a bit of hassle, but ended up in the church parking lot next door. The service was great, really friendly. We ended up getting the cinnamon french toast, Gloucester omelette, and a coffee roll to share. All the food was impeccable and the homemade breads made all the dishes. Wait times were optimal. Would return and highly recommend. read more

Awesome breakfast.....crabby patty omelette and fish cakes rocked! Bread baked on site was delicious! Very friendly staff and a nice chat with the owner! Tips on things to do in the area.....highly recommended! If you're at the Beauport walk right up Washington Street and enjoy some "real time" with the locals! read more
