Popular Broad Ripple eatery featured on Food Network closes after 31 years

Popular Broad Ripple breakfast and brunch spot 3 Sisters Café closed Tuesday, according to a Facebook post over the weekend from owner Moira Sommers.

“Thank you for 31 years,” a sign on the door read. “We are closed.”

Sommers could not be reached for comment.

The restaurant, located at 6223 Guilford Avenue, was featured on the Food Network show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives in a season 11 episode in 2011, with raving reviews from host Guy Fieri. A popular item at the Broad Ripple eatery was their D’Nai Pork Sandwich, a twist on a Hoosier staple. The restaurant also was known for its wide variety of vegetarian and vegan options.

3 Sisters Café opened in 1992 under a different name, but has been known to the public as 3 Sisters since 2005, according to a summary of the restaurant on the Diners, Drive-ins and Dives website.

In 2014, the restaurant moved into a former Victorian home off Broad Ripple Avenue, where it’s been ever since.

“We will lose none of the charms the building has now, if anything it will be even better,” Sommers told IndyStar in 2014.

Co-owner and chef Alexander Munroe died in 2021, according to a Facebook post from 3 Sisters Café.

The restaurant’s current location is near the former site of the Broad Ripple Kroger, which is being redeveloped into mixed-use space for apartments and retail.

IndyStar reporters Shari Rudavsky and Cheryl Jackson contributed to this report.
