OUTDOOR DINING AND IGLOOS

Pivot Coffee and Hawthornes are now offering outdoor sidewalk and streetery eating. In time for Christmas, the expansive streetery on both sides of the building and down 11th Street is decorated and transformed into the Hawthornes Christmas Garden. Look for tables for two and four, plus decorated heated private Igloo bubbles for private dining away from the elements. Inside dining is not available at either spot at this time.

Reserved seating is available through Hawthornes on Open Table for both concepts – and seating is also available first come, first served by adding your name at the Pivot Coffee and Soupery take-out window.

VIBE AND OTHER DETAILS

Over the years, Hawthornes has become known and loved as a top neighborhood spot serving Bella Vista, South Philly and beyond. The building has evolved with the times and survived a major fire – and now a global pandemic. With each incarnation, no matter what is happening there, there are always good vibes, neighborhood feels, great food, and amazing drinks to be had. With this new project, Pivot Coffee cut through the front of the corner of the property with an adorable but giant take-out window – with a to-go counter adjacent on the inside.

On the inside, look for top of the line espresso and coffee equipment, the glimmer from the rows and rows of wine bottles, and the hustle of the active coffee shop and soupery. On the other side of the property, Hawthornes has been reconfigured for when indoor dining returns – and yes, the famous warm glow is still coming from the neighborhood fireplace where you can get warm and toasty – when local and state officials allow, of course.

Outside, the building has been painted from top to bottom, including with a new original art piece from Melissa Gombos – who among other projects is known for her giant cool cat mural at Wine Dive on South Street – also owned by Fetfatzes/Annechiarico. Gombos already has completed work on her next mural for the couple – to debut at a new concept coming to South Street in 2021 – stay tuned.
