    Came to Sweet E's Cafe on Black Friday maybe about 830am or so and at first we were the only ones in here. Figured people were out shopping so it was a good morning to come and try this place out minus a crowd. Sweet E's Cafe is a really cute place!! It feels really home-y. Food was good and will def be be back. We tried the fried rice, banana pancake, hawaiian omelet. All were satisfying. Service was great too.

    blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast was pretty cool. the texture did it for me. yum! the experience wasn't that memorable though; I honestly can't remember what else I ate, and I was fool enough to not have instagrammed that day. :/

    Friendly staff,quality breakfast, clean with nice decor Grab the stuffed blueberry French toast to satisfy your sweet tooth. Or for a "healthier" option: breakfast burrito with avocados. Will return when back to HI. Eat like a champ:)

    It's was amazing!! The wait was about an hour or longer but sooo worth it. I suggest the stuffed French toast with cream cheese and blueberrys. I also had an all American omelette that was amazing. I suggest this place for everyone. Great, fast, friendly service

    Was super excited to go here. Heard tons of recommendations for everything. Friend who goes there at least 2 x a week claimed the eggs Benedict. What I got was a hard boiled egg that "rolled out" of the whites! not even close to poached! My gf and friend laughed! Should of said something but just ate it. Gf's wrap looked and tasted good. Friends stuffed French toast the same. Atmosphere and service was great! Probably not returning. Too many great restaurants out there.

    A bit disappointing. Everyones recommendation overhyped it. Came to wait. Finally got seated. Then waited. Ordered and waited. The food was above average. Had I not waited so long I would recommend this cute spot for breakfast. But I think Sweet waitEd is not an establish I would go while hungry. I partially blame the staff and the chef. Their time management is poor. Do not come while hungry. You'll leave angry and still hungry.

    Went at midday on a weekday and it wasn't busy at all, which was nice. Got the corned beef eggs benedict and it was muy bueno. Good hollandaise and nice home made corned beef.

    This place was amazing. I came here for breakfast on a Saturday and had the eggs benedict. The service was excellent and the wait was long but worth it . The atmosphere was also really comfortable. The only issue I would have is the lack of parking. I would come here again and again to try the different items. Excellent in standards by far.

    Food- good. I really enjoyed the stuffed cream cheese blueberry French toast. This is my favorite thing here second to the corn beef hash. These are the two things that keep me coming back . Corn beef hash is made with fresh corn beef. ( not from the can) Staff- great customer service. It's interesting that it's an all male staff. My daughter seems to enjoy that. Lol. They are very respectful and accommodating. Quick service. The wait can be long because this place has a limited amount of setting not to mention this is a popular breakfast eatery. However, it's worth the wait. RECOMMENDED!

    Parking was a bit tight, prices were reasonable, food was good, the servers were quick to top off coffee and waters yet felt a bit rushed by the servers themselves. I'm not the type of patron to be wowed by great customer service although I do really appreciate it and show monetary appreciation. Nor do I really get bent over a grouchy server. Yet, if I'm with friends and family, drove all the way there, squeezed into tight parking stalls, waited a good minute for a table...please do not rush me to order, take my plate away and constantly ask if I want a to go box or my check. All I'm looking for is to have a good time over breakfast with friends and family with the help of efficient servers. It's a breakfast place, not a grab and go food stand. If I ever go back, it'll be for a to go order. I prefer not to be rushed to eat, pay and leave then have to tip.

    This is a little hidden gem in Honolulu. My husband and I love this place. It's very small and on the weekends there is usually a wait, but it goes by quick and it is sooooo worth it. The food is great and the prices are definitely not "Hawaii" prices-very affordable, great atmosphere, quaint, every time we've been the service is really good. If you have a chance to check it out. I highly recommend for breakfast :)

    Originally, I was planning to have brunch at Café Kaila... But as I'm driving past it, there were way too many people in line for us to wait. I was really hungry for breakfast, so I decided to turn to trusty Yelp to find us a place. Sweet E's Café was only a block away, and I had bookmarked it as one of the places I needed to try. DECISION MADE!! A couple of turns out of the Market Street Shopping Center parking lot, and we're there. Sweet E's Café is located inside Kilohana Square, and it's not visible from Kapahulu Avenue. Turn into Kihei Place and you'll see the entrance into Kilohana Square. Parking is extremely limited here, and quite cramped. My first impression of Sweet E's Café... It's really small and busy!! For being busy as it was, we were able to get seated as soon as we walked in. After a few minutes of browsing the menu, I decided on the Corned Beef Hash Eggs Benedict with Fried Rice, and my friend ordered Spam & Scrambled Eggs with Rice. We also got an order of French Toast that we would split with each other. The Corned Beef Hash Eggs Benedict was pretty good, possibly could have used more corned beef and less potatoes in their hash. The poached eggs and Hollandaise Sauce were made perfectly. I really didn't care for the fried rice... I felt it didn't go well with the dish. The French Toast was delicious, and my friend seemed to enjoy her food. Service was excellent... Staff was friendly, and we never had to wait to have our coffee & water refilled. Overall, it was a good experience... I'll definitely be coming back, but I would like to try the other dishes on their menu.

    Had kalua pork bene with fried rice. It was awesome. Out of the way as far as Waikiki is concerned -which is good. Few or no tourists. Recommend it to friends!

  • Traci A.

    This is a very cozy breakfast restaurant! The staff is friendly & the food came out really fast. We ordered the stuffed French toast, Hawaiian omelette & corned beef hash. The food was good I thought the corned beef hash was a little salty but other than that we enjoyed it.

    A diamond in the rough, a needle in a haystack, I hidden jewel! How fortunate to stumble across two awesome restaurants in the past seven days. We heard that sweet E is a great place for breakfast can you believe prices average under $10 and portions are the size of a Mack truck without giving up taste flavor or freshness. Hidden away in Kapahulu, this cute restaurant will soon have lines of patrons that will be rounding the block to have breakfast here. If you haven't heard of it, you got to make the time to stop in, everything on their menu looks delicious it's one of the few menus I have to admit I want to try it all!

  • Lex S.

    THE WAY BREAKFAST SHOULD BE DONE!! After spending loads of money at breakfast locations elsewhere in Waikkiki I realize now that this is where we should have gone all along. I'll just say it like this Food, 5 stars Service, 5 stars Portions, 5 stars Cost, 5 stars You will not be disappointed in any way shape or form. My plate: eggs benedict and seasoned potatoes and French Toast. My wife: all American breakfast. 2 victories in our opinion! Keep doing your thing sweet E!! Thank you So much

  • Austin C.

    Very interesting, they tell you to sign in even if there is no one in line and 5 tables open. There were also two people before us on the list, and a couple of guys walked in after us and just sat directly down. It is a quaint and small place...not sure if the A/C works but it is an in wall unit that would probably just blow down heavily on one table. It's a tiny bit muggy inside with a breeze coming from when either the door opens each time or they have a door open in kitchen with a draft. Interesting...never knew you could turn a child restaurant seat upside down to fit a baby. Guess their staff have a lot of kids come in with parents. The staff seems kewl, but u might have to ask for refills on water...they're a lil slow on it but not a super big deal. The food was good, not crazy, just good. If I get a hankering for that food again I would go back but get there early as they do start getting a line a lil after noon.

    Blueberry Cream Cheese French Toast FOODGASM!! I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT! The very first thing I tried here was their Blueberry Cream Cheese French Toast and I fell in love! It was the best breakfast item I've had in Hawaii! It's large enough for me to make 2 meals out of it and it always comes out perfect. They have amazing consistency with their kitchen. It always is fresh with tons of blueberry. My bb tries different things every time we come here. This allows me to try different things but still order what I want. Everything is very good here from the Eggs Benedict to the Breakfast Burrito. I'm so lucky that we both love it here and get to come here all the time! All the servers here are so nice and give great service. Our coffee and water is always full. They check on us often to make sure that we're having a 5 star experience. Their service is as consistent as their kitchen. When you walk in, the staff are smiling and just starts off your day right. Even though there is a wait to get in, it's worth it! Just make sure to sign in when you get in so you don't lose your spot! They can point you in the direction of the sign in pad if it's your first time. They are located off of Kapahulu Avenue and they have a private parking lot that you can park in. Stalls are not too big so park carefully. It's busy here so sometimes the lot is full. Don't worry because there is street parking around the block that's FREE! The restaurant itself isn't very big but it's okay because everyone around you are nice and happy from munching on all the good food! Hope to see you guys here one day! =)

    Sweet E's is a meh for me. I've been there twice, both on Saturdays. First time, the wait was 45 min. I ordered the pesto omelette and it was ok. I like omelettes that have fillings within the eggs, but this one was like fillings wrapped in egg skin. The fried rice could use a little more seasoning. Second time, there was no wait, YAY. The parking situation was so confusing. The parking lot itself was empty for the complex and parking lot for sweet E's had a few spots left, but the parking attendant insisted that I park on the street by the red curbs. Another car was basically blocking half the entrance to the complex. Uh hello? Follow the law anyone? Anyway, I ordered this massive scramble this time and the dish was overcooked. The eggs were dry and got some burnt-on-the-pan egg here and there in the dish. The toasts that came with were not quite toasted or hot. For $12 I could have made the dish myself. Judging from the pictures I think their sweet dishes might be better. I'm a big egg breakfast person, don't think sweet E's is for me. :(

    This is my favorite breakfast place! This little gem is hidden away from everyone and parking is sometimes a pain, but it's a nice cafe away from all of the hyped up places around the area. Even though it's a little small and the wait is sometimes ridiculous, there's good reason. The prices are fairly cheap based upon the amount of food that you actually get. The wait staff are all local guys who are friendly for the most part. Don't expect extremely peppy, talkative, and upbeat because since it's always so busy, they're trying to get everyone in and out as fast as they can.. Which is understandable. The stuffed French toast is really delicious. I've had both the banana and blueberry options and let me tell you, these reviews don't lie. They're to die for. You get three really good sized portions too! I usually get the everyday breakfast because I'm lazy to do it myself at home. Like I've said, for the amount that it is you get what you pay for! Portion and quality wise. Overall, I definitely recommend this place to people who want something away from the tourist scene.

    Awesome service. Every guy in there was super friendly. Food was affordable and delicious. We had the French toast, banana pancakes and Kalau pig omelet. Pushed everything to the middle of the table and shared. The place is... Um lived in. It's not a white cloth napkin place but it's clean. The staff and food was amazing though. Even better, $30 including tip for a family of 4 in Honolulu and for great food is a rare find.

    Tried Sweet E's Cafe for the first time with my girlfriends. Nested in a small homely shopping square, I was utterly surprised to find the chic interior and decor. Though small, the cafe is clean and has a cozy ambience, the type that's perfect for a laid back Sunday brunch. My two friends and I shared a chicken & bacon BBQ pizza, a blueberry & cream cheese filled French toasts, a Sweet E's salad and a side order of potatoes. Everything looked and smelled great. My friend loved the pizza, which was full flavored and savory and it paired well with the salad. The salad was colorful and fresh, though I would prefer the vinaigrette to be a bit more acidic to help cut through the sweetness of the craisins. The toasts looked delicious and tasted homemade. I would suggest soaking them in the egg batter a bit longer to acquire that custard center that's heavenly of a French toast. Also the blueberry stuffing could be creamier. The potatoes were a bit of disappointment as I didn't get the crunch I was looking for even though they were charred brown. The service was good. Our waiter was very accommodating with our request to have the avocado on the side for the salad and to replace the syrup with honey for the toasts. Overall lovely decor and ambience, quick and attentive service, good food w/ fresh ingredients and nice plating. Recommended for brunch.

    Food is good. Place is not too big and not too small either. Parking is not bad. We parked behind the business. Theres a WAITING LIST, before you get a seat. We went on the weekend.

  • Kara C.

    Little bit of a wait, but they have water available for those waiting outside in the sun. Bottomless cup of coffee is always the best coffee! Very attentive servers! It's a bit pricey, but it's not regrettable. I really loved the blueberry and cream cheese stuffed french toast. It was creamy, warm, comforting goodness. It was the perfect amount of sweet but it was not too sweet. No need for syrup! Kalua pig eggs benedict was so yumz. I liked it better than the corned beef benedict. Kalua pig was so smoky and savory. Do they make the kalua pig themselves? I'm going to have to ask next time (and there will be a "next time"). I freaking love eggs benedict of any kind though, so maybe you shouldn't listen to me.

    Blueberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast! I mean, it was amazing. It was a whole new horizon in the frech toast world. Everybody who visit Hawaii should go and try it. The one thing that makes me rate 4 stars, not 5 stars - is its parking lots. You know, this cafe is extremly famous and so many people visit there, but their parking lots are out of space. I wanted to have a proper breakfast IN the cafe, but I had no choice but to take away because there was no parking space!!! So the guy who took in charge of parking spaces gave me 15 mins to get my take-away food, and I made it in time. But before I left, I just wanted to type some address on my navigator but the guy asked me to leave immadiately. I mean, I NEED to use my navigator to go somewhere else!! Of course, I understand that it is his job, but the point is that there isn't enough space for parking. So I strongly recommand you to visit the cafe as early as you can, If you want to taste the fansastic french toast. It worth it.

    We came here after hiking at diamond head and it was a Friday morning and there was already a wait. The parking lot is a bit cramped but there are attendants there to help you. We had to wait a bit but the waiter was nice and told us to grab a menu so we can take a look and know what we wanted. I ordered the corn beef and hash eggs benedict (because everyone recommended it) and I also ordered their blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast that also was recommended (to share with my wife). We loved the french toast it was so good and tasted french. I was scared it would be too sweet but it was just right. The eggs benedict was good but I'm not a fan of the hollandaise sauce, but I'm sure anyways would enjoy it. I recommend trying this place. Not sure if it's a locals spot but definitely give it a try. You might have to wait a bit because the place is small and intimate.

    Man, I love this place! Food is amazing and well worth the wait. The corned beef hash eggs benedict was the best I've had in ages. My friend, (who has a super healthy appetite mind you) almost wasn't able to Extreme Mess (with scrambled eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, peppers, onions, scallions, cheddar cheese, and I think potatoes). He loved it and ate EVERYTHING on his plate. The other friend got the Hawaiian omelette (Portuguese sausage, onions and cheddar cheese) which was also really tasty. He opted for fried rice (+$1) which I regret not getting. This needs to be built in as breakfast item/special (I'm thinking om-rice - hint, hint). Although our server wasn't the friendliest of guys, the others were great and service overall is attentive. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in town.

    Love love love this place! Now that I've moved into town, the drive to Kapahulu side is much quicker compared to when I lived west side. Arrived around 10:15am, there's a good sized parking lot in the back of the building for Sweet E's customers. Already there was a line outside so first thing I made sure to do was go in to put my name on the wait list. This was especially important as we had a group of 6, knew we would wait awhile. As you're waiting outside, you can look over the menu so you can order as soon as you're seated! However, don't be too distracted by the wonderful sounding items on the menu, you need to pay attention to the names that are being called or you might be skipped. We were seated at 11am and immediately put in our order. Of our group of 6, we ordered 3 corned beef hash eggs benedicts, 2 kalua pork eggs benedicts, 1 traditional eggs benedict (this had Canadian bacon) and 1 blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast to share. The eggs benedict comes with a choice of herbed potatoes, hash brown, rice, or fried rice (fried rice costs a little extra). We were all pretty hungry as we waited for our food to come. Since we were seated close to the kitchen entrance, we saw everything that came out and it ALL looked so delicious. When our food did come, we quickly snapped our photos of the food, then dug in. And all we did was eat, eat, eat and go "omg this is so good"! My kalua pork eggs benedict was really good, the eggs were a little runny but didn't care cuz it was so good. The pork itself was seasoned well, as well as the herbed potatoes (especially loved the crispy pieces). Tried my friend's corned beef hash and it was super delicious, can tell it's homemade, loved how it was crispy, definitely getting a plate of that next time I go. And as you can tell, we're a bunch of savory breakfast eaters, but had to try the much raved about blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast! It was a perfect balance of the blueberry cream cheese filling with the french toast. Loved how the cream cheese was not too heavy and the use of real/fresh blueberries! We ate the french toast without any maple syrup because it was perfect as it was. The food was definitely delicious and filling, we were all stuffed by the time we were done! The service from the staff was great as well, they were friendly and checked in on us a couple of times to see how we were doing. Bottom line: this is a must-go place for brunch, and the wait is definitely worth it!

  • Justina K.

    Food is so good here. We got the big mess, blueberry cream cheese French toast, and the Hawaiian omelette. Portions are great, two people could split the big mess. Service is friendly and it's an all male wait staff if you're into that. Only downside is that it's small and doesn't take reservations. Wouldn't recommend going with a group bigger than 4 unless you're there when it opens.

    One word. Hash. Oh my! Hubs and I decided on a new spot for breakfast, I suggested Sweet E's. We got there fairly early (before 8 am) on a Sunday, and we were immediately seated. I had read some reviews about the homemade hash, and had already decided that would be my breakfast. Hubs decided on the Denver omelet and I had the homemade hash eggs Benedict. Our food came out fairly quick, and I was impressed with my Benedict! It was so flavorful, the garlic flavor was perfect, not overwhelming, and there wasn't a lot of "filler". It went great with the hollandaise sauce. I could've used a little more sauce, but i'll remember to order extra next time around. Hubs was happy with his omelet, but couldn't help himself when he finished off the rest of my Benedict. Definitely a fan!

    Sweet E's is hands down my favorite brunch spot. My boyfriend and I try to go out for brunch at least once a week to unwind, and we always end up here. What urged me to write this review is their consistency of delicious food and quick service. When parking on weekdays, the normal Kilohana Square parking is okay. On weekends, parking for Sweet E's is strictly in the lot behind the restaurant. There's always a wait during peak brunch hrs, but for the lazy people who sleep in (like my boyfriend and me), arriving around 11-12 PM is when the wait dies down a bit. Though the wait list may seem daunting, servers are quick and efficient in getting their customers seated. To make seating quicker, it's recommended to take a menu with you while waiting to decide what you're gonna get once you're seated. Customers can also put their food orders in before being seated, and they'll have the items ready once they're sat. (Great if you're in a rush) For the food.... My favorite by far is the kalua pig eggs benedict!!! So delicious. The kalua pig is perfectly tender and marries well with the silky hollandaise sauce. I always get hash browns for the side, but they also offer herb potatoes, white rice, and fried rice (extra cost). My boyfriend and I always get the stuffed french toast to share as well. The dish comes with 3 pieces, and they offer a blueberry cream cheese filling or banana filling. They allow mixing, so we always get 2 pieces of the blueberry cream cheese and 1 piece of the banana. I've also recently tried their waffles with fruit, and they're AMAZING. The waffle batter is balanced perfectly (not too sweet), and the waffle is crisped nicely on every exposed surface. For a restaurant with such high traffic and popularity, I did not expect perfect food and service for each visit.... but I've gotta say they've done it..! I've dined at Sweet E's well over 10 times and I am rating them 5 stars for every visit. Fun Fact: Every section of the menu starts with a word that starts with the letter E (enticing salads, eggs benedicts, extraordinary omelets)..... Hence "Sweet E's." (Just realized this on my last visit -____-;; )

    So i've been back from the mainland for about 3 weeks now and I ate at this place three times already. Everytime I came I have ordered something different: eggs benedict, omelette, stuffed french toast, waffle. The stuffed blueberry creme cheese was the best thing i've ate from here. You must try it! The other items were also very good but they are items that you could get at other breakfast restaurants. I came on a weekday around 9-9:30am for all three times and the wait was only 10 minutes max. The service was excellent. The food came out fast, Coffee and water was always refilled, and complicated separate checks did not seem to inconvenience them. If you haven't tried this place, you're definitely missing out! If Cafe Kaila is really crowded, don't wait it out, just walk over to sweet e's! I think they are equally just as good.

    Another popular brunch place that always seems to be packed! We waited about 40 minutes on a Wednesday (granted, it was a State holiday). After we got a table, service was really prompt and friendly. It's a small restaurant but nicely decorated. I had a custom omelet for about $9 - double order of sausage and spam with hashbrowns and toast. Excellent portions and reasonably priced! I was surprised. My husband had the breakfast burrito (about $8) which he enjoyed and noted that not many places serve a breakfast burrito.

  • Victoria J.

    Solidly delicious food! I've always come early enough where there wasn't a wait. I know a lot of the time when people give a lower star rating, it has to do with the wait, but I've never encountered that. Service is amazing; they're friendly, attentive, and they go above and beyond to make sure you're happy. I usually do not like benedicts in general. Hollandaise sauce is normally too rich for me, but I'll make an exception here. I've tried a few of their benedicts and the kalua pig is my favorite, but you can't go wrong with the corned beef hash. The french toast is a winner. It's NOT just dressed up heavy bread like at some places. They're able to make it light, with an awesome crisp on the outside. The coffee is tasty in a generic way and they are very attentive with the coffee pot, so your cup will never be empty. Parking can be a bit challenging, but this is Honolulu, what's new? On the weekend you can park behind the restaurant in a private lot, but on the weekdays, you can't. This is definitely one of my favorite brunch places in the world.

    Best food, best service. Sweet E's is such a gem. Service is fast and uber friendly. This family owned young restaurant is destined for long success. The only negatives were that it is a bit hard to find located in a strip mall just off of the H1. Parking is a bit tough, but there was an attendant helping us. Though the restaurant was packed (it's small) on a Monday morning, there was no wait for anyone I saw coming in. Somehow it all worked out. Tables were quickly bussed, food was promptly brought out and you never felt rushed. Staff was so nice with their wonderful smiles. I would not change a thing about my experience.

  • Jonathan K.

    I'm actually a little befuddled by the high ratings that this restaurant has garnered thus far. Both of the dishes that we ordered were mediocre at best. We ordered the an Eggs Benedict dish and an Omelette dish. I've actually had much better food at chain breakfast stores than here. Maybe their other items such as waffles and pancakes are better, but both of our egg based dishes were unsatisfactory. I will not return.

  • Noelani C.

    I really was disappointed in today's food. The fried rice is extremely salty. As if I swallowed the whole salt shaker. Really bad and I would not recommend it at all. It didn't taste this way the last time I was dining here. I guess it's a hit or miss! Don't eat on Fridays the fried rice. Gross! Everything else like the corned beef hash was excellent! The bacon and eggs were cooked perfectly! I will dine here maybe in 6 months.

  • Sungjin S.

    Great breakfast place, I've been here several times and expect a wait. Atmosphere: It's a very small place hidden near waikiki. Parking can be limited but the lady with the reflective vest will show you where you can park. The inside of the restaurant is quaint with many photos on the walls. Service: Prompt service especially for being so busy all the time. Food: Amazing brunch/breakfast spot. We ordered the stuffed french toast blueberry cream cheese and the breakfast burrito. I loved the bread on the french toast and the burrito was savory goodness with bursts of portuguese sausages. Intangibles: Go early otherwise expect a wait. Early bird catches... Eats first with no wait.

    M hubby found this small cafe through Yelp and had to try it. It's a really small place and it seems to attract locals and tourists alike so arrive early. The menu has your typical breakfast food, a variety of eggs Benedict, pancakes and French toasts. The food was good...nothing out of the ordinary. Service was quick and there were two waiters helping one another. Parking is limited since its located inside a plaza.

  • Sari M.

    This is definitely my top breakfast place because of their blueberry cream cheese-stuffed french toast! The setting is cute and intimate and parking is fairly well managed being that parking is very limited. The weekends are of course their busiest times and the wait will probably be 30-45 minutes, but completely worth it. Since they always have long waits on the weekends, there is always a waiter that comes outside to take orders so your food is ready for you when you are seated.

    I found this place In yelp and took my friend for her birthday. It did not disappoint. The corned beef hash eggs Benedict was divine! The Hawaiian omelet was yummy and they brought her a waffle with fruit and whipped cream for her birthday. The server was so awesome, friendly and made great recommendations. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend it. The girl next to me had the stuff French toast and said it was amazing. Everything I saw looked delicious.

    Small little local place. Very limited parking but the food is great. Shared blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast and a kalua pork omelet with my wife. Good balance of very sweet and the savory. Came Sunday at 9:00 and had to wait 1/2 hour. Worth the wait!

    The service was very good. I would come her just for the French toast. I got a side order, but was wishing I had ordered a full order. The omelet was good but I liked the French toast so much better. The staff was friendly and luckily there wasn't a wait although it got busy by the time we left. The last time I ordered take out and it was still a long wait.

    Cute little cafe hidden away. Parking is limited to 15 min. The decor felt very cozy and "Home-e"... Service was fast and friendly. :) I had the corned beef hash eggs Benedict and shared the blueberries and cream cheese stuffed French toast. Suuuper good! Seemed like the popular thing on the menu, almost every table had an order of these. Corned beef hash was homemade... Best kind! :)

    Service (as usual in Hawaii) was quite lacking. We had to wave the server over to us and even then he didn't take our order but continued to refill waters to the other tables, took two different tables' orders AND took a take out order and then came back to take our order... But the food is delicious! Especially the stuffed french toast. OMG. That was to die for! Amazing. My omelette was also done right! And the potatoes that came with it was crisp and not over cooked. It was GREAT!

    We want to try the blueberry cheese French toast in the morning hours but the wait was a bit too long. Food was excellent, taste, quantity, and presentation! Hope next time, we don't have to wait too long: )

    The parking sucks! But worth it. The place is adorable and the service was good. It is loud and hard to get the waitor's attention at times but is expected when a place is that busy! I love seeing a food joint hustling and bustling like Sweet E's. We got the blueberry cream cheese french toast! Comes with three pretty big slices, I recommend sharing. The corned beef eggs benedict was so good and the herbed potatoes that come with it. Come hungry, leave happy!

    Came here on recommendation from one of my friends (a local), and definitely wasn't disappointed. Food was good, service was good, and the blueberry & cream cheese French toast was legit; however, I don't think it was worth the HOUR wait. Parking is also incredibly limited and a bit ridiculous. So I wouldn't come here if you're starving cuz you're not gonna get in quickly, but if you're just out for a leisurely breakfast, than go for it.

    I love love love places like sweet e's. It gives you a warm, cozy feel. Not sure but I think its a family owned business. My husband and I ate here on tuesday. He had the blueberry French toast (delicious!, I ate off of him lol) and I had the breakfast burrito. It originally comes with meat and tomatoes,which I don't eat and the waiter was nice enough to offer a substitute of avocado instead, by far the beat breakfast burrito I've ever had =)

    I always love it here! While there are other breakfast places in close proximity, it's nice that it hasn't been overrun with tourists. Yet. And nothing beats the ambiance at Sweet E's. It's bright and open, and the personal photos are always fun to look at. Plus, the staff is friendly and they all work well together. The food is quick to the table, made with fresh ingredients, and is so delicious! They are also so good about substituting fruit for starches (which can cause some other places to get huffy and/or charge us way more). You always feel good after eating at Sweet E's.

    I'm a MOST DEF brunch person, and yes this just got added to my list.. I only did a four star cause I have yet to come here more often.. But, I do have to say I'm so glad there were like basically ALL male servers. I've heard of companies hiring females more often because they are more "personable" or "bubbly".. Which I get but the servers were very personable and friendly.. Good customer service for sure.. Food was GREAT too :)

    Finally got to try this place on a Sunday morning at 9am. There was about a half hour wait but it went by quickly. Finally seated and saw that the place was actually pretty small, smaller than Kaila for sure. And quite loud I might add. But who cares, hows the grindz? We ordered the corned beef hash eggs benedict and the traditional french toast. Also had a side of 2 buttermilk pancakes and a coffee. The corned beef hash eggs benedict was great except for the English muffin. It was kind of burnt and couldn't even be cut with my knife. It was very crunchy as a result and we ended up just leaving most of it on the plate. The hash, however was very good and the egg was cooked perfectly. The traditional French toast was also very tasty and I loved the bread they used for it. Next time I will try the blueberry cream cheese stuffed version but we were trying to watch our calories (somewhat) this time around. The pancakes were also nice and fluffy and way better than the ones you find at Eggs n Things. Overall a very positive breakfast dining experience with a total of about $30 for two which is to be expected at the various breakfast joints around town. I'd go back.

    We were getting ready to start our day and wanted to get something good in our belly before heading to the swap meet at the Aloha Stadium. Decided to give this place a try from the great Yelp reviews and oh man, my fellow Yelpers really came through. This is a small cafe that is located in a shopping center, and probably only seats about 30-40 people. Make note of this if you plan on coming in a big group. They may or may not be able to accommodate big parties. Upon arrival, we were directed by a guy in a safety vest on where to park, we got to park right up front, VIP status! But there also appears to be parking in the back as well. We went in, put our name on the list. We were probably #8 on the list, and was seated in about 20-25 minutes. We reviewed the menu before we got called in and were seated so we knew in advance what we wanted to order. My boyfriend ordered the stuffed banana French toast. It was nice and crispy on the outside, with a perfect sweetness of the banana on the inside, he didn't even need the syrup! I had to steal a few bites off his plate. I ordered the iced coffee and Corned Beef Hash Eggs Benedict with roasted potatoes. Words can't even describe how amazingly good it was, the hollandaise sauce which topped the corned beef hash and two poached eggs sitting on toasted English muffins.... God. I think my taste buds literally had an orgasm. Must've done the same for my boyfriend because he kept eating off my plate. If you're in the area, go there. Now! You won't be disappointed!

    I love this place! I don't come here often because it's far from my home but when I'm craving their food I make a special long drive just to eat here. I'd recommend coming early when they open. I love their eggs benny, omelets, and blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast.

Did a take out order and sent my son to run in and grab it since I had my younger children with me and in a rush, one of the workers came out and brought it to my car to help out my son! Thanks for your continued great service! The blueberry cream cheese French toast is the bomb!

    Love this place. Good atmosphere, great people, and love the decor here! I always miss my check ins cause once the food comes that's all I can think about. Lol! I've tried a few things here but today I tried the lox bagel. It was GOOD! Nice toasted bagel that came with onions, tomatoes, capers, cream cheese and 3 slices of salmon. It was a handful of awesomeness!

    Wow! Amazing!! Loved it... I had the breakfast mess and it was delicious. I'm a tourist in town and just decided to try something different, definitely worth the wait. Everyone is very nice, will definitely be back before I head back to California! Yum! This place has nothing on eggs n things... We had that yesterday and it was disgusting..

    I ate here for my first time a couple of days ago. What a hidden gem. I wish I had a big appetite that day, the corn beef hash eggs benedict is bomb and the blueberry cream stuffed toast tastes so ono. Next time, I'll make sure to go with a hungry stomach. Besides the food, I enjoy the music they play. Local music guarantees an enjoyable time. Sweet E's you know how to do things right!

  • MsPrincess V.

    I don't know what was all the hype about this place honestly everything looks so pretty but it doesn't taste as pretty as it looks. The only thing I like here is the stuffed blueberry French toast but it it's so creamy. Not everyone likes creamy things. Customer service could have been better I felt like we wasn't welcomed because we came there 45 mins before they closed. The guys didn't had a smile on their face and when I asked for a box one of the guy in the kitchen was like "what?!" yeah very rude. They definitely need to fix that bad attitude. BTW they do close earlier than 2PM so make sure you come early, they won't accept anyone by the time it's 1:50PM.

    This little hidden gem, is just that- small space and wonderful food! I had the corned beef hash eggs Benedict, and the blueberry cream cheese stuffed French toast. The corned beef hash was really good, with chunks of corned beef that had a hint of spice to them. The eggs were the perfect creaminess and the hollandaise was yummy too! The roasted potatoes were nice and tender and seasoned well. The blueberry cream cheese French toast was light and fluffy, with the sweet warm filling of cream cheese and blueberries. This place is small, and it is warm inside. Parking is very tight, but there is some metered parking on the street on the side. It only allows 1 hour at a time, so be prepared to feed the meter! There was about a 25 minute wait, on a Monday at 8 in the morning- but it was well worth the wait. Will try again.

    If you are looking for an adventurous amazing fun-filled breakfast, then this is the spot. The stuffed French toast was crafted from the cream cheese of the lord himself. The Cornedbeef Hash Benedict melts in your mouth not in your hand. The chicken pesto omelet is hand crafted from wizards and magical unicorns. The prices are just right and I will definitely head back soon.

    Food: Denver omelette had a lot of filling; good flavoring. Chicken spinach pesto egg white omelette- full of flavor, good portion. Waffle- cinnamon flavor, crisp, didn't need syrup. Service/place: small , seats about 30-35. Clean, quick friendly service once inside. Prices: average omelette was around $11. Thought it was fair. Overall: food was good, potions good, staff friendly and on it! Well worth the wait. Recommended

    Sweet E's is hidden in Kilohana Square has a light bright cheery atmosphere decorated with white walls and blue accents it immediately is an inviting place to have breakfast. The menu has all the selections you could ever want which makes deciding on what to order a little challenging. The table next to ours had the same problem so they ordered more than usual just to try it. I went for the stuffed French toast as a treat because my partner was having the Denver omelette so I knew I could sample his plate and enjoy something sweet at the same time. I don't think you can go wrong at Sweet E's for bfast everything looks great and yummy. My only advice to myself is next time I want to go surfing for two hours before eating at Sweet E's just so my appetite is even bigger and I can eat more. Happy Dining!

    Cute, simple spot. The parking lot was a little jammed, but it was manageable. There were two young men who were working with all of the customers. They were speedy, and really nice. The food was didn't take long at all to come out. I ordered the stuffed blueberry french toast & it was AMAZING... everything I thought it would taste like & MORE. We enjoyed ourselves at this restaurant & look forever to visiting again!

    I first came here because Cafe Kaila had an hour wait for seats so I drove less than five minutes from Market City to Sweet E's at Kilohana Square. Sweet E's is a small restaurant, but it never feels cramped and it actually feels a lot bigger once you get inside as there is a mirror at the end of the restaurant making the room look larger. There is a parking lot in the square although spaces can be a little tight. If there's no parking in the lot than are street parking available. They do not take reservations, but the wait is usually only around fifteen minutes. I've been here a couple of times for brunch and I've tried the Denver and the All American omelets, the blueberry creamcheese french toast, and the kalua pork eggs benedict. The omelets were good, but nothing outstanding from other omelets I've had. I really liked the blueberry french toast, however, I highly suggest sharing it. After eating one piece of the french toast I was in sugar overload. I had the same issue with the kalua pork eggs benedict. It was really good, however, a bit on the salty side and I don't think I could have handled a full portion. I recommend Sweet E's if you're in town and looking for a simple yet satisfying breakfast.

    Just what we were looking for! Cute little cafe with yummy breakfast. The stuffed french toast with cream cheese and blueberries was to die for and the mess was delicious! We added ketchup though, but tapatio would have been perfect. The plantation iced tea was yummy and the iced coffee was good too. One thing that could use an update would be the plexiglass tabletops. Great service and great food :-)

    With all the great reviews I thought I would give this place a try- after all I love breakfast foods! This place is hidden in a small shopping center, with limited parking but I luckily found street parking. After 15 minutes or so of waiting (on a Saturday around 11:30a) we were finally seated in a small, 2 seater table. The cafe itself is very small and a bit cramped giving it a "home-sy" feel. We shared an order of the buttermilk pancakes (3 pancakes) ~about $6.75 and an original eggs benedict for around $11. The eggs benedict was delicious, the pancakes on the other hand had way too much cinnamon inside. The batter itself had cinnamon in it and it visually looked brown with little specks as opposed to the bright, light color that "buttermilk" pancakes tend to be. The description should refer to these pancakes as "cinnamon pancakes" - not buttermilk. Also, I was a bit disappointed that I didn't receive additional butter (on the side) as I enjoy putting butter in between my hotcakes. Service was awesome! The staff are dressed casually, but they're friendly and prompt when filling water or providing services such as take-out boxes for leftovers. Overall this place is good, the prices aren't bad. I just wish the buttermilk pancakes weren't so misleading!

    My friend and I came here for the 1st time this morning. It's a cute, quaint little place, located in Kilohana Square on the Ewa side of Kapahulu Ave. Parking is fairly ample, and free. We were greeted by 2 guys who promptly sat us, brought water, and offered anything else to drink right away. I got a Plantation Iced Tea, my friend a coffee. Their menu, while not extensive, offers a good amount of options. I ordered the Traditional Eggs Benedict, my friend the make your own omelette, with ham, cheese, and mushrooms. We both ordered hash browns, hers extra crispy. It's definitely not an overwhlelming amount of food. And to be really honest, if you're really hungry, depending on what you order, you may still leave feeling a little hungry. (Ex. Probably the bf...) Overall though, the food was fairly tasty, and the atmosphere was nice. I don't know about their Plantation Iced Tea being worth the 3 whole dollars they charge though... Major disappointment there. Even so, my friend and I enjoyed our visit and we'll be back, just not for the Iced Tea. :)

    We were torn between a couple of breakfast spots in this area that had good reviews and boy were we lucky to have chosen Sweet E's! The location is a little strange, but the service and food were amazing!! The blueberry cream cheese stuffed French toast lived up to other yelpers hype... Not too sweet and full of yummy fresh blueberries. My siblings all loved their choices as well with the scramble, pancakes and breakfast sandwiches. Give this place a try and I'm sure you'll be back for more!

    Stuffed French Toast!!! Need I say more?? An easy-to-miss little gem located in Kapahulu, after the water supply area just off the King St. Exit. We were lucky that the wait wasn't long, and it was the weekend too. I was dying to try the stuffed French toast..which was heaven! Interior: 4 stars. it's a homey feel; beach house themed. Black and white pictures of the owner and her friends and family on the wall. Cozy and calm atmosphere Service: 5 stars. Excellent! Our waiter was patient, funny, and our drinks were refilled without any of us having to peek around for a worker. Food: 5 stars! Omelette was great; you've got competition, Cafe Kaila! Their popular stuffed French toast was rather sweet, but not a disappoint! My absolute favourite: Lox and Bagels!! Omg. I used to always go to Tango Market/Contemporary Cafe for that. But Sweet E's has my heart stolen for their Lox and Bagels (hi, capers) I would come here again! If I'm lucky enough to dodge the wait and if there's parking! Craving for some more of that stuffed French toast! Thank you, Sweet E's!

    This is one of my favorite places to get breakfast! They have a variety of food on their breakfast menu ranging from omelettes to breakfast burritos. However, one of my most favorite things from Sweet E's Cafe is their blueberry-filled french toast. Nothing like I've ever tasted before (:

  • Cyndy K.

    Cyndy's Bottom Line: Excellent hash browns and corned beef hash. There is a parking lot in the back. Good breakfast menu with an assortment of Items to choose from. This is what we ate: If you like the old school type hash browns you would love Sweet E's. The hash browns are so delicious with the outside crispiness and golden brown. So yummy! I ordered the Everyday breakfast with two eggs, corned beef hash and hash browns. The corned beef is amazing! Fried on a griddle perfectly with a crisp outside with a generous amount of corned beef. Very tasty! The papaya is served with some blueberries, half a strawberry, and a lemon wedge. Sweet and delicious! Bacon is served nice and crispy!

  • C S.

    Sweet E's is one of our faves! It's just too bad the wait is so long. And the parking attendent takes his job a little too seriously. Bc of it, there are only certain designated areas where you can stand in the parking lot while you wait. The restaurant itself is so adorable and def has a professional, yet local edge. It's often overcrowded with tourist (yay for local businesses, boo for having to wait to eat such good food)! Some goodies to try are the corn beef (AMAZING) and kalua pig benedict!

  • Jay P.

    Brunch and me go hand-in-hand (if brunch actually had hands) and Sweet E's is definitely one of the best places to go to for brunch in my opinion. First-come, first-served no reservation basis. Once you arrive you can write your name down and wait for a table to open up with your name on it. I've had to wait at least twenty minutes every time I've dined here. The restaurant itself has a very fresh ambiance and reminds me of an indoor picnic theme. The staff are friendly and have always been helpful with questions about their food and side options. I always order an omelette with spinach, mozzarella cheese, and mushrooms and am always satisfied with what comes out. If you order an omelette, you also get to choose a side order of starch (rice, hash brown or potatoes -- I always opt for the potatoes) and a slice of bread of your choice. An orange slice and a strawberry are also a part of your meal :) GET THE BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE FRENCH TOAST. Don't ask any questions, just get it. You won't regret it. Parking is located in Kilohana Square. The first time I went I parked right in front of the restaurant while the second time I was directed to go to a "hidden" parking lost right behind Sweet E's. To keep it short, parking hasn't been a problem for me and shouldn't be a problem for you either! I mean, if anything, park at Safeway and walk over to Sweet E's. It's worth the extra exercise!

  • Kristy L.

    Overrall: We came around 10am and did not wait for too long. I would say a total of 20-30 minutes maximum. ​Food: -Blueberries and cream cheese french toast. Everyone raves about this because it truly is the finest and best french toast ever! It was not too sweet but just right in flavor. Whoever thought about this was genius. This is a must have if you are going to eat here. -Kalua pig. This dish was okay. I am not a big fan of kalua pork, it was too dry to my liking. We ordered this because we just wanted to try it but it was nothing special. -Corned beef hash eggs benedict. This was scrumptious! I don't know what they put in it but I inhaled this swiftly. We even tried making this back at home in California but obviously, it didn't taste the same. Parking: You can park right in front in the private lot or find street parking. Service: All male servers! I still haven't figured why yet, but I am not complaining. They were rapid with ordering, bringing the food out, and providing us with the check at the end. I highly recommend this place to tourists and locals!

    After reading all the raving reviews on Yelp, decided to give Sweet E's a try. Went on a tues about 9:30 am and only had a 5 minute wait for a table. Server came right away with menus and water. Came back a few minutes later to take order and brought our coffee. Though place was packed, service was excellent. While we were there our water glasses and coffee was frequently refilled without our asking. Wife ordered the blueberry and cream cheese French toast and it was excellent. I ordered the corned beef hash and eggs with hash browns. The hash was made with fresh corned beef and the hash browns crispy on the outside and soft inside. Why is my rating a three? After taking a few bites of the corned beef hash, noticed that it was very salty. Tried eating other parts but it was all too salty for me. The eggs and hash browns were very good, but I couldn't eat the hash anymore. Noticed some other reviewers mentioned the salty corned beef hash, but I thought I would try it anyway since it is my favorite breakfast meat. Not sure if we'll be back again even though the service was excellent.

    Awesome food! Amazing service! The only downfall was the LONG wait and many rules from the security guards! We weren't even allowed to park in the parking lot in the front of the restaurant on a Sunday! There was only two open stores there so we wouldn't really be blocking them or anything! I think a restaurant that busy should invest in a buzzer system so that way guests CAN checkout neighboring stores without worry of losing your place in line. But the food was definitely worth the wait! The blueberry cream cheese French toast was the very best I have ever eaten!!!

    Almost worth the wait. Omelette and stuffed French toast were amazing. The salad was great too. Service is quick and friendly. So, it's a great place to go, but the inevitable weekend wait outside where temperature is 100 degrees? That costs a star to me, I'm not that patient. I also did not line up for beard papas in the 80s (or was it 90s)?

  • Terrence Q.

    With all the hype, i had to check this place out. At first bite of my corn beef and hash benedict, the hollandaise sauce and hash was pretty amazing. Pretty good on the first bite, but my second bite of my girlfriends Hawaiian omelette was a disappoint. I kinda wish the fillings was incorporated in the beaten eggs. I felt the eggs was quite separate from delicious fillings. Upon halfway through my meal though, i wish i ordered the waffles or the french toast that both tables to my left and right had ordered. Both had looked real good. Now that would bring me back, so i'd reorder the Benedict and try the french toast or waffles. If you like to eat with a little privacy, this place is not for you. The tables are just too close to each other where you can hear your next tables conversation and the place is a little cluster phobic. Parking is also a little hassle as Kilohana security makes you park in the back. ...And for security dude, he needs to chill out, he was standing in the shade, i wanted to join him in the shade. So for all you folks whose gonna check this place out, just a warning, you'll wait awhile, bring some sun block, and decide then if it was worth the wait.

    It doesn't take too much from me to rank a place full of stars if only you mention the word "Benedict" to me. If they serve it, BAM, the place gets an automatic 3 stars right there. That being said Sweet E's Benedict nailed all the right spots for a good breakfast. I tried the Kalua Pig, my wife had the corn beef hash version. Good portion size, good taste, good textures, etc. I especially liked the way they poached the egg so it was extra runny.....it was like yellow runny gold. All their other points of comparison to other spots is the same Long wait time: check Small noisy spot: check Crappy parking: check Pricey: check I found only 2 problems with my experience. First, I liked the homey atmosphere. The black and white pictures on the wall were a good touch. But I didn't quite like the dust balls hanging over the entrance to the kitchen. I didn't see the problems with dust anywhere else around the restaurant...only there. Above where the food comes out. yay. Second, their meats were tasty. But a tad bit too salty. With competition that tight (there's literally a competitor right around the block), a little bit too much salt could make the difference. That being said, I liked the place. Will go again....

    This place is AMAZING! We had a short wait and then were seated at a cute little table. The menu iPad variety and the waiters are nice and friendly. This place takes the cake for breakfast food! I had the banana French toast and they have changed my life! Seriously nothing will compare to them! I want to plan a trip to go back to O'ahu just to have breakfast here! This place is a must for anyone that loves breakfast.

    We went on a Thursday morning around 9ish, maybe a 30min wait, would've been shorter I think if it was just me and the hubs, but we brought the kiddos. Thus place is kinda hidden if your not familiar with kapahulu. Inside is nice and clean. Cute and quaint decor. The service was great! Friendly and courteous! The food was soo good! I loved my good the French toast stuffed with blueberry cream cheese and extra fruits and my hubs food was soo good too! Kalua eggs Benedict! Highly recommend and expand to the west side please, specifically Ewa Beach thanks!

    It took me FOREVER to find this place, so if you're a first-timer, Sweet E's is located in Kilohana Square, which is on Kapahulu close to the H-1 freeway. Being a regular at Cafe Kaila, it was really hard for me to thoroughly enjoy this place, because I had high standards set by Cafe Kaila. Sweet E's is SMALL and the mirror on the wall is a bit deceiving to make the place look like it extends to another room. The food was okay...it was regular cafe food and I feel like it was pretty comparable to Moena Cafe in Hawaii Kai. Not super, but not sucky. The decor is really cute and girly and it was surprising and a bit funny to see so many groups of dudes lunching there! My salad was okay, but probably not worth the price. Grandpa thought the eggs benedict was "eh, okay" and the coffee "junk, like instant." My brother really liked the barbeque sliders though. I'll stick to Cafe Kaila as my go-to spot, but I'd give Sweet E's another try someday.

    Absolutely loved this place, a friend told me about it and its tucked away in Kapahulu, so glad this little gem was found! The food is all fresh and feels very light on the stomach so even if you over due it on the potatoes , you won't feel sick from excessive oils (etc.) my friend also got the blueberry cream cheese stuffed French toast, simply to die for! I would recommend taking anyone to this restaurant ! Just be aware on the weekends it can get a little busy, but if you are among friends, family or even access to a smart phone, the time will go by fast!

    My co worker recommended this place for breakfast as it was nearby hotel that I was staying at. Very cute little restaurant with lots of yummy breakfast options on the menu. I got eggs benedict topped with kailua pork with fried rice. It was so good. Good amount of food for the price. Friendly staff. Also, I got the passion orange juice and that was great as well. Definitely recommend if you are in the area.

    I am always searching for a new breakfast place especially because my hubby is obsessed with breakfast. Thanks to Emi H., Lori I. Kim T., and Terry K. for your trusted reviews I decided to try it. They have a small menu that consists of breakfast & lunch. Their breakfast menu consists of various benedicts, stuffed French toast, waffles, pancakes, and omelets. FOOD ORDERED 1) CORNED BEEF HASH EGGS BENEDICT with FRIED RICE $11.95 Corn beef hash is one of my favorite breakfast items to try at almost any place. This corn beef hash was uniquely encrusted with hash browns! Innovative & amazing! It gave it a nice texture. Fried Rice was decent. yelp.com/biz_photos/ozN2… 2) STUFFED FRENCH TOAST WITH BANANAS $8.95 Way better than plain french toast. The bananas IN the toast add so much more dimension to this common breakfast food. Hello, the 2nd best French toast I've had! The best so far was at Toast Bakery in LA. for me. 3) BUTTERMILK PANCAKES WITH FRESH FRUIT $6.49 This was surprisingly good, considering it was plain pancakes. Pancakes were moist and had a hint of cinnamon mixed in the pancake which actually only required a little bit of syrup. Mmm. yelp.com/biz_photos/ozN2… ENVIRONMENT Located in Kapahulu in Kilohana Square. Country, beach-like living decor. Black & white pics of family & friends adorned the walls. Homely feel. There are signs that direct you to Sweet E's parking areas. Bathroom located outside of restaurant, need a key. SERVICE The waitress' name is Ethel and that's what "E" stands for. Quick & friendly service. Water refilled in timely manner. Very attentive. CONCLUSION I gave it 5 stars because I was happy with every dish we ordered, the environment was great, & the service was awesome. Yes, I'm definitely coming back! I want to try the blueberry stuffed french toast! Yum!

  • Lien V.

    Just one simple reason I love eating here. They make one of the best fresh, house-made corn-beef hash bar none. Just come here for this and you will be happy chomping away. An added bonus, they serve great food with nice smiles. You gotta go at least once to treat yourself.

    At around 10:30am on a Sunday, the wait for our table was about 35 minutes. It's a small cute place, and their blueberry and cream cheese stuffed French toast is delicious! As is their corned beef and hash -- real corned beef and nice & crispy on the outside. The only small thing was that some of our choice of side -- potatoes -- was a bit undercooked. But nothing to cry over! It was still a great brunch for a decent price!

  • Carly D.

    This place has a really yummy breakfast! I had an omelette with Portuguese sausage, cheese and onion. It came with toast and a choice of potatoes or rice (I had the roasted potatoes). The potatoes were very tasty, but just a tad greasy. The omelette was delicious! My husband had the Kahlua pork omelette with fried rice, and he really enjoyed it. The service was also very good! We will most likely be back during our vacation on Oahu.

    #FOODPORN #FOODGASM #OMG! Those are the Instagram hashtags describing the Blueberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast served here! It's a creation from the heavens and definitely lives up to all the hype! It's that deliciously messy! A restaurant named after yours truly! Nah! Somehow my friends adapted to calling me "Sweet E". Not like I'm complaining since this "brunch" style cafe offers some pretty delicious breakfast and lunch! Which means friends approve of my sweet "E" lifestyle! And trust, it's extravagant! Yay! I've probably been to Sweet E's half a dozen times, a couple times with BFF, Josie C. I once held a very successful UYE here too. This UYE was in honor of my Yelping friend, Carolyn from Illinois. Ironically we met on a Yelp talk thread discussing racism in Hawaii. It was a memorable thread (with 200+ comments) that got me all huffy & puffy, being a proud son of Hawaii. I was adamant that her boyfriend, who suggested Hawaii was the most racist place in America, was wrong! Make sense? Of course, I absolutely disagreed with him regarding this topic. He believed racism was out of control here. I begged to differ and agreed to meet them at Sweet E's for a UYE! She showed up, but BF somehow was content playing Don Ho in his Waikiki room. I Introduced my Illinois Yelp friend to a dozen cool and very diverse Hawaii Yeeps. Anyway, after a couple hours of talk story and yum foods... we proved that ALOHA is still alive and well in the ALOHA state... TYVM! Ok, back to Sweet E's... On my last visit, I dropped by with my sister, niece and dad. My sister lives in Seattle, so she wanted to try a different breakfast scene. "Not Zippy's again"- her words! So, Sweet E's it is! PARKING & LINE: Typical old school "skinny kine" parking stalls. Fortunately the 100-year-old parking attendants will guide you to empty spots. If super crowded- There's a "secret" second lot they'll guide you to. You'll probably see a few or more people standing around the parking lot too. No worries those peeps are waiting to be seated. So, make sure you go inside to place your name on the wait list! If solo, talk to the century-old parking attendants. No reservations taken. First come, first served. GRADE: B- AMBIANCE: Charming "country cottage" feel to Sweet E's! Antique white walls and simple & comfy. Breakfast tables seat a party of four, but if a larger party, tables will be combined by staff! Caution: there's a large mirror to the far right. BE CAREFUL! Looks like another room, but it's actually a super large wall mirror. Don't walk into that mirror! Overall, a #NICE #VIBE here! GRADE: B+ STAFF: A bunch of local dudes! Am I right or am I wrong? Every time I've been here it's like one of my tattooed twins is serving us! Lmao! Don't let the tats spook you, these are awesome guys with awesome attitudes! Never judge a book by it's cover! No frills dudes that look cool too! *Hint, hint* GRADE: A GRUB: The highlight here is definitely the grub! The breakfast especially! I've been here several times, but my favorites are: ---BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE STUFFED FRENCH TOAST- Fluffy and gooey good! So yummy and foodporn looking! This is my "got to have" on first try here! Add the fruit topping option for more of a #Fruitgasm!! ---CORNED BEEF HASH /EGGS BENEDICT W/ SIDE FRIED RICE- Love this combo. It's a tad under $12, but so delicious! Another #Foodporn #Foodgasm type of meal! The corned beef hash sets this apart. Ono! Eggs cooked just right and the "local style" fried rice gives you that satisfied smile! Of course, the breakfast standards of Waffles, Pancakes, Bacon & Eggs, Breakfast Burrito (Dad had this, but said it was meh lol), Omelets, etc., etc. Washed down with Fresh Juices, Coffee, Hot Cocoa, complimentary H2O, etc. GRADE: A So, overall each experience I have walked away #HAPPY #AS #A #CLAM! Comfortable with yummy foods! Cool dude staff! Just watch out for that #MIRROR! #YIKES! #YOUHAVEBEENWARNED! Lastly, my Yelp friend went back to Illinois, but her last words to me was how much Aloha we had! I warned her not all Hawaii Yelpers are like this (sadly), but fortunately the good ones will always rise if the situation calls for it. That's what Yelp should be all about... Aloha! It's all about #ALOHA! Remember the Roman Empire once fell on it's face. Live Aloha! Let's not forget that. #KARMA #You #Have #Been #Warned YELP REVIEW #176

    Spinach Feta Omelette: Yum!! a nice veggie omelette with spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, and some yummy cheese. I got mine with a side of potatoes and sourdough bread. I like how their plates always come with a slice of orange and strawberry. It's a nice little extra touch. Side Potatoes: I have to say that although their potatoes arent bad, I've had better. Service: Very friendly staff. Totally understanding. Wait time: expect to wait about 30 minutes for a party of 2~

    I just went this past Monday around 11am and almost all of the tables were filled. However, lucky for us, we got the last table! We ordered the blueberry cream cheese stuffed French toast and Kalua eggs Benedict. Blueberry cream cheese stuffed French toast: They are really generous with the stuffing! It's so filling. Kalua eggs Benedict: I just wish the kalua was crispy. Other than that, the egg was cooked to perfection and I liked the side of roasted potatoes. The staff is really friendly and I like the atmosphere. I feel relaxed whenever I eat here.

    Great breakfast and brunch spot. Last meal of our trip and it was worth it. It was hard to find since this place is small and located in the corner back. You would have to drive to the side and into the small entrance to get to the place. I tried the blueberry french toast. It was incredibly delicious especially with syrup on top. All male servers. Haha

  • Jaynie K.

    Corned beef hash Benedict was yummy, crispy meat, perfectly cooked! Topped with creamy Hollandaise, sitting on a crunchy English muffin. Epic breakfast burrito was just that! Crunchy bacon, potatoes, eggs, veggies, all jam packed into a tortilla, so good! We also got the blueberry cream cheese French toast which wasn't as great... The cream cheese filling tasted off, kind of like the chemically sour scent of acetone/ nail polish remover. I quietly mentioned it to one server and he was very nice about it, apologized, offered to have it remade. We were full already, declined, and he took it off the bill. I've had bad experiences with funky food at other places, and no server has been as nice as this guy was. Four stars for corned beef hash, epic burrito, good customer service. Don't sit at the table in the far back corner... Needs Terro, there are trails of lil sugar ants!

    Holy Hannah. The cream cheese blueberry French toast is AMAZING. Get it! We had to wait for about 20 minutes for a table on a Monday mid-morning. Seemed like the norm for Sweet E's as most locals were waiting patiently as if they had done it before. Definitely worth the wait. waiters were very friendly and attentive.

  • Alyson Y.

    Just returned from eating breakfast there and had to rave about the incredible service. I arrived with a group of 3 and we waited about 30 minutes for a table. When we sat down, we got our drink orders filled right away. I ordered the Kalua Pork Eggs Benedict and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. People in my group ordered an Omelette and a Scrambled plate. After getting our food, we were all very happy and impressed with how generous the portions were. I took a bite of mine and really loved it - it was warm, but not hot. Then the waiter came over and said he wasn't happy with how long my plate had to sit (to wait for the other plates to be done) and worried it wasn't hot enough. So, he brought me a hotter order. Incredible! Waters and coffees were refilled quickly. The check came as soon as we asked for it and the waiters were never hard to flag down. Food was delicious. Service was amazing. Prices are reasonable. Giving this place a solid 5-stars and will certainly be back.

    Finally got around to trying out this little place, and it did not disappoint! THE WAIT: Went on a Saturday at 9am and expected a long wait, but snagged a parking spot right away and only waited maybe 15 minutes for a party of 4. Lucky! AMBIANCE: Once inside, the place has the comfy feel of a neighborhood diner, but it's bright and clean and inviting with island music playing and a very attentive waitstaff. THE FOOD: I'd heard from friends and Yelpers that the home made corned beef hash was to die for, so I ordered the corned beef Eggs Benedict. Amazing!! Super flavorful, but very rich; I could only finish half the order. Our table also got a fluffy omelette with crispy hash browns, and a basic eggs/meat combo. We didn't get to try the Stuffed French Toast or Waffles this time, but will definitely be back!

  • Chanele R.

    Don't let the 3 stars fool you, I mean the food here is good, esp their fried rice & the blue berry cream cheese French toast. The only problem I had was the fact that they didn't really bother with us. It's like you had to be a regular or their friend to get some attention from any of them. You see them talking stories with the people the knew and what not but can't even come to our table to give us more water. Other then that, this place is a cute little area to have breakfast. A little small but it's decent. Oh and if it's your first time there, there's a sign in sheet at the table across from where you enter. Just a little heads up because my boyfriend & I was a little confused on if we say ourself or is we needed to wait to be seated.

    I've heard & read so many positive things about Sweet E's Café. As I have not been there, it had been on my radar screen for awhile. I've tried to go there a few times, but was taken aback by the long lines & wait times. I do not have the patience to wait. And lo & behold, a UYE Breakfast @ Sweet E's Café hosted by Eric Robert T. and Josie C. was on the calendar. It was a perfect chance to say yes! Opened in October 2011, Sweet E's Café is named after its owner, Ethel Kim. She was formerly a barista at Starbucks who had always wanted to run a breakfast restaurant. I understand she is the honcho in the kitchen. Her restaurant venture is indeed a success. The restaurant serves breakfast all day & is known for that. They have various omelettes made w/ 3 extra-large eggs + herb-roasted potatoes, rice, hash browns, or fried rice; various eggs benedicts w/ 2 poached eggs + herb-roasted potatoes or hash browns; pancakes; waffles; French toast; burritos; sandwiches; eggs + meat + starch; & a all-encompassing breakfast called "Extreme Mess." The restaurant also has a lunch menu of salads, flatbread pizzas, sandwiches, & soups. I had the Corned Beef Hash Egg Benedict. It came w/ a toasted English muffin, 2 poached eggs with Hollandaise sauce, & herb-roasted potatoes. This was so delicious - real homemade corned beef hash & perfectly poached eggs. When the eggs are pierced, the golden yolks come oozing out as you smother the potatoes w/ the running yolks. I liked the Hollandaise sauce, as it had a subtle sweetness to it w/ a perfect texture. The dish was garnished with a 1/2 slice of fresh orange topped w/ a fresh strawberry slice - a nice colorful touch. It was so filling that I had to doggy bag 1/2 of it. yelp.com/biz_photos/uye-… I also shared the Stuffed French Toast with Yelpers Josie C. and Kristianne S. It came with 3 thick slices of sweet bread, stuffed w/ fresh blueberries and cream cheese, & sprinkled w/ powdered sugar. The dish with garnished w/ a handful of loose fresh blueberries and a whole fresh strawberry. It was somewhat like a dessert, but it was not overly sweet. It was delicious, very filling, & certainly not for the diet conscious. I'm glad the 3 of us shared it, as I don't think I could have finished all of it by myself. yelp.com/biz_photos/uye-… When I first entered the restaurant, it looked quite large, as I thought there were 2 separate dining rooms. I was mistaken, as there was a huge wall mirror from floor to ceiling at one end of the restaurant. With the mirror so sparkling clean, I would have walked directly into it. Great strategy on the owner's part to make this small restaurant look bigger than what it actually was. I loved the ambiance & décor of the restaurant. The tables were aligned with the 2 walls in the rectangular-shaped dining room. I felt I was in a beach cottage which had a bright, cozy, charming, & homey feel. There were black & white photos of smiling people & family themes enclosed in black frames hanging from the walls. There were a couple of upholstered benches that had blue & white vertical stripes. There were beach furnishings, such as sea shells, starfishes, & coral placed strategically around the dining room. There were several wooden blocks that spelled words, such as "welcome," "home," and "Sweet E's." It was a very comfortable atmosphere for a nice breakfast to start the day with. Service by wait staff was attentive, considering that there were 11 of us. As usual, the restaurant was packed, & many others were waiting outside for a table. Our orders were served within a reasonable amount of time, & water glasses were filled on a regular basis. We had no problem getting separate checks, as it was the most convenient way in settling the bill. As busy as it was, I was pleasantly surprised that wait staff did not try to rush us out of there to accommodate others who were waiting outside. Parking?! I think that's the problem here. Sweet E's is in a small shopping complex w/ a small parking lot and a side street. The parking spaces were completely filled. I just wonder how the other businesses are coping in having their customers go to their stores when most of the spaces are taken by those waiting to dine at Sweet E's Café. There is a parking attendant who tries to direct you to an open space if there is one, but if there's none, you will just have to wait until a space opens up or park several blocks away and walk. I look forward to returning & trying other breakfast items on the menu. It's best to bring other people to share the menu items. It's best to go when there are no lines; of course, I think there are many others who are thinking the same thing. At least we don't have to go to Kailua anymore for good breakfast joints.

    *crawls to computer* I'm dying from not eating here again. This place is so good I can't express in words how fantastic it is. I could no joke write a poem about they're Kalua Pork Eggs Benedict. Granted this place is behind a bunch of buildings with limited parking. (Park at Safeway down the street and walk over its only a 3 min walk and it will give you a chance to walk off some of the yummy food so you can turn right back around and have their lunch... ^_^ just saying...) Their stuffed french toast (both blue berry w/ cream and banana is excellent) and their Lox's crescent with smoked salmon is delicious. Ok back to the Kalua Pork Eggs Benedict... for all that is holy order it... don't think.. get it... now... yes its worth it. The only down side is that the place is rather small so expect a wait. I was there around 9:30a and had to wait 15mins for a table for 3 so it wasn't bad. They open at 7am and close at 2pm. (^_^)/"

    Sweet-E's!! I always get a little excited when I hear the name. I've been here plenty of times and I always love it. Everyone seems to dote on the blueberry and cream cheese stuffed french toast, which, is in fact a winner. My preference, however, is for the banana stuffed french toast! I often order two banana and one blueberry. I've had lox and bagel a number of times and am always satisfied. The croissant sandwich is also delicious! The toasty croissant has the perfect crispy texture on the edges, and is not too heavy of a meal. While I've tried these and quite a few other dishes, eggs benedict is still my #1 - they don't disappoint here at Sweet-E's. In my opinion service is what makes the real difference, and service here is outstanding. These guys really hustle and are genuinely friendly, attentive, and approachable. I've had George many times, he's a funny guy! I can say with confidence that I'd recommend Sweet-E's to anyone and I'm sure I'll be back very soon. Thank you for the incredible food and service.

    There was a short wait on a Monday morning around 10am. However, well worth the wait! We had the Belgian Waffles, (with fruit and whipped cream) which were delicious! Crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. The batter was sweet and tasty too-no need for butter or syrup! We also ordered the omelet with spinach, cheese and mushrooms with potatoes. Tasty but not out of the ordinary. Then there is the Corned Beef Benedict. Oh my. Their corned beef hash is delicious! I ordered the hollandaise sauce on the side. I'm glad I did because it was a little too rich and thick for me. Great place; will definitely return. I highly recommend this wonderful eatery!

  • Bryan G.

    Honestly I love the food and environment and service. Let me tell you what I do not like. The staff is cleaning the tables with windex; ammonia. Not only does ammonia not disinfect very well, It is highly irritating to my lungs (maybe I am not only one). Today I was not able to enjoy the great food because the staff sprayed the table next to me with ammonia and it all blew into my face and food. For gods sake! please use a mild cleaner to clean the table. Soap is a better disinfectant that ammonia. The streaks on the glass tables can't be as important as sanitation or your customers health!!!! My lungs are still burning from this :/

  • Anita C.

    I've been meaning to try this place out since it opened... and I am soooo glad that I finally did today! (I really don't have any excuses since I now live five mins away) The wait wasn't too bad, it was probably 20 mins on a Sunday and there were about 6 other names on the list before ours. When we sat down, there was water already there for us and a server came by really fast. We already knew what we wanted because we checked out the menu while we were waiting. I got the corned beef hash benedict because I love corned beef and I asked the server if this dish was good and he said that it was the most popular one, sold! Then I wanted something sweet so my friend and I decided we were going to share the blueberry and cream cheese stuffed french toast which the server said was also a popular dish. My friend ordered the chicken pesto club since it was noon time already and they start serving lunch at 11am. The decor is very homey; white clean walls, white and beige decorations - just really simple and comforting. Me likey! The food came out pretty quicky and omgoodness, the first bite of that corned beef hash benedict had me grinning like an idiot in front of my friend and my eyes rolling back. I asked him if he wanted to try some and he said no thanks. After I took another bite, I cut him a piece and forced him to eat it. He sure was happy I am aggressive because he said that he just had a food orgasm. Now for a straight guy to say that shows just how good the dish is! Everything about it was good, actual pieces of beef (not like some pancake houses where it's full of potatoes and onions), the eggs were cooked to perfection, and the sauce was not overwhelming. I usually don't order benedicts because the sauce can be too tangy, too heavy or just too strong. But Sweet E's sauce was just right, not too salty, not heavy, not too sweet and not too tangy. I really can't eat much so after taking a bite of the second piece of the benedict, I gave it to my friend because I said that I needed to have some room for the french toast. Before he could object, I said that it's easy for him to take his sandwich to go because the benedict wouldn't taste good later. He looked at me and "had no other choice" but to finish the benedict which he happily did. The french toast was awesome as well! Syrup? who needs syrup with this bad boy? not me! I actually was able to eat one whole piece, the order comes with three pieces, and I was enjoying every single bite! Sweet E's is my new favorite breakfast spot for this side of the island, if Sweet E's accepted the iDcard like Cinnamon's then I think it'll be my ultimate favorite breakfast spot!

  • Bryan A.

    We were not impressed. Service wasn't that good. Food was average. I don't understand why this place has that many good reviews. Hawaii has a serious shortage of good breakfast places. But that doesn't mean you should come here. I had a breakfast burrito and my girlfriend had a omelette. They were both kind of bland. There are better places.

  • Jeremy D.

    Food, Service, Food...A's across the board! Sweet E's runs daily specials which add a good variety to their already awesome menu so you should always be able to find something new or an old favorite to try. I am partial to the Stuffed French Toast and the Breakfast Burrito, but their Spinach and Feta omelet is delicious too! If you want to try a classic dish, one of their Eggs Benedict choices might set you up just right. Whatever you order, get a side of Fried Rice to share or just for yourself. Portions are a plenty, so come hungry or be prepared with a second stomach! You might have to wait awhile (20 Minutes or so), but it is worth it. Don't think the wait is as bad as other places near by, but breakfast is arguably the most important meal before lunch!

  • Jayleen C.

    I love it here! I had the Hawaiian omelet, which had Portuguese sausage, and spam. I thought the portions were really good. It stuffed me up. Their place makes it very comfortable to eat. A bit loud, but it didn't bother me. For the Hawaiian omelet, I paid $11. I thought it was a bit too expensive, but with the quality of the food. It was so good. Their presentation of their food was presentable as well. Great place to grab brunch.

  • Reimi D.

    The wait was a bit long but not unbearable. There are cute shops that you can check out while waiting. We were told 30 minutes at the least but were seated at about 20 minutes. I ordered the blueberry cream cheese french toast w/fruit and hubby ordered the traditional eggs benedict with roasted potatoes. Both dishes were yummy but not outstanding. I'm actually kind of wondering what the hype is all about? The french toast was yummy but it doesn't take any real culinary skill to put blueberries and cream cheese between two slices of french toast, and though the eggs benedict was ono, it did look a little skimpy. I will admit the Hollandaise sauce was on point. What impressed me most was the warm service and that cold glasses of water were waiting for us at the tables before we were seated. Might not seem like a big deal but it's one less thing to have to wait for so I really appreciated that. We will come back, but only if we are in the mood to wait for parking, wait 25 minutes to be seated, and have food that just meets the average expectation. Or we could go to Zippy's.

    We've been here for breakfast before and it was AMAZING! We decided to try out their lunch menu and was pleased once again. Salads are fresh and nice portion (couldn't finish it all and took it home); veggie sandwhich was delish too! Looking forward in trying everything on their menu! Service was superb as well!

  • Roselyn S.

    I finally got to try out this place for the first time & OMG IT WAS AMAZING. I loved everything. I had ordered the classic eggs benedict & the stuffed blueberry cream cheese french toast. The French toast was to die for, I was already so full with my eggs benedict but I ate every single bite of the French Toast! I wish they opened a location closer to where I live.

  • Jo L.

    Cute little breakfast joint that's worth the hype. We arrived around 9am on a weekday and only had to wait about 15 minutes. Parking is quite limited as it's shared with businesses in the surrounding area but there is street parking a block away. Prices are reasonable and competitive to usual breakfast/brunch restaurants and the portions are on the larger size but not overwhelming. Surprisingly despite how busy it is, service was impressive. Our table was prepped with water and menus upon arrival and our drinks and food arrived in a timely manner. There was no quality check for food which I usually expect but the waiters did come by frequently to refresh our beverages. Worth the wait in the sun.

    Food: 4 Price: 2 1/2 Service: 3 The restaurant is in Kilohana Sq. You have to turn into the side lane where Calvin and Susie is at the corner. Then make the first left. The parking lot is tiny! Better be good at parking in tight stalls, or let someone else take the wheel. The store is tiny as well, but decorated cute. The layout is not meant for large groups. It would be really awkward having a gathering of more than 5 people here, especially if you plan on chit chatting. I felt cramped. Service: 3 stars because my waiter didn't really wait us. He forgot to fill my water while everyone else had theirs checked on. He was nice, but didn't do much. Just took our order and gave us the check. Some other girl brought the food out. Food: I got the blueberry and cream cheese stuffed french bread. It was yummy! I recommend eating slow even if you're starving, because it won't fill you up that moment, but all the bready fatty goodness will expand later and come haunt you in the form of a food coma. The cream cheese was nice and melted with the blueberries. IT MAKES AWESOME LEFTOVERS. I ate my last slice the day after COLD. Yeah yeah it sounds gross but man did it taste awesome! My boyfriend got the corned beef eggs benedict. It was good, but a little too salty. The egg was nicely poached and the beef smokey. He chose potatoes to go with it, and said those were good. Price: Okay this is where I cry you a river. The food was good, good enough to come back. But man is it expensive for the portion amount. I understand the house made corned beef and all the "tender hearted" way of making food individually, but if you're not citing use of local ingredients, organic ingredients, or anything special, then I can't understand the price... I will come back to try some other enticing menu items, but only when I have some extra moolah to throw around on food.

    Wow. Mmm. Yum. Yay! In cave man era this is exactly the nutshell emotions and thoughts I've had of this place. I found this place on kapahulu. Hidden in a shopping center on kapahulu. I didn't even know this shopping center existed. Sweet-E's is amazing. The place itself is small and quaint and full of fun family pictures, cute homey sayings and seashells. Great ambiance. The service was fast and efficient. Greeted the moment I walked in by a half a dozen handsome men and seated right away. Food was delicious. The veggie eggs Benedict was loaded with spinach tomato seriously perfectly poached eggs. With just the perfect amount of runniness on the inside with soft English toast (or muffin?) and of course hollandaise sauce! So rich and creamy with a hearty serving. The herb roasted potatoes were also amazing and perfectly cooked to a tender but not mushy texture. Something else I love is the window to the kitchen. Wide open for on lookers promoting sanitary cooking!!! Loved this little gem of a place and will be back tomorrow with a friend and again with my grandma! It's da spot.

    I absolutely loveeee this place for breakfast. Sometimes I drop in for food to go, sometimes I end up having those two hour long catch-up sessions with friends here. Honestly, this place is great for either one. A word of warning, the parking situation can be a b!#%@ because there's a security guard that sits at the edge of the adjacent lot who will come bother you if you park in the 15-minute stall (even if you're doing takeout and are only planning to stay for 10) or if you're waiting in the wrong area outside of the restaurant (because sometimes the place gets busy and there's a bit of a wait time). The restaurant is teeny but very quaint and kind of your quintessential "brunch" locale. I said breakfast earlier but I actually usually come here around brunch time. Don't quote me on it, but I'm pretty sure breakfast is served all day which is good news because their breakfast food is AWESOME. My favorite thing to order is the corned beef hash. I don't even know how to describe it to you, it's so amazing. Usually also order the "Extreme Mess" which is scrambled eggs with hash brown, sausage, ham, bacon, onions, scallions, peppers, and cheese. I get it without the scallions and peppers but that's just me. With my side of corned beef hash, the Mess is usually a meal for two (or for me to take home after!) I've heard the stuffed french toast is really really good but keep forgetting to order it when I go--my visits are usually pretty spread out so I always forget about it until I check in on yelp and see that it's like the most mentioned item in the 300+ reviews written. Boo me. Only thing, I'd say you can skip the fried rice. It's not bad but not great and you might as well save the extra $1.50 or whatever the upcharge is (or spend it on more corned beef hash mmmm).

    Cute little hole in the wall off of Kapahulu. The food was well worth the wait!!! Went with my friend around brunch time...once seated we were immediately helped and was able to order. Food was cooked quickly and it was really good. We decided to split the blueberry and cream cheese stuffed French toast. It came with 3 huge pieces. The filling was perfect, not too sweet or rich. We also ordered the corned beef hash eggs Benedict. Fresh corned beef with crispy hash....it was heavenly. The hollandaise sauce was not overwhelming at all and complimented the overall dish well. Definitely coming back

    I was never a huge fan of breakfast food but Sweet E's has made me a believer! Over the past several visits, I've tried a bunch of different things: Stuffed French Toast One of my fave Yelp buddy, Phillip H., introduced me to those (and Sweet E's). He's on this weird diet called Paleo but he pretends his diet doesn't exist for this dish! Thick slices of bread stuffed with blueberries and cream cheese. It's so sinfully good but I recommend sharing it because it gets a bit too much. yelp.com/biz_photos/ozN2… Traditional Eggs Benedict with Canadian bacon This is my favorite from Sweet E's! Perfectly poached eggs with a delicious hollandaise sauce. It comes with a choice of starch. I had to share this three ways but I secretly wished I had my own. It was that good! yelp.com/biz_photos/ozN2… Chicken Pesto Flatbread This was okay. It's kinda like a pizza but it didn't have a lot of flavor. I do like the mixed greens on top! yelp.com/biz_photos/ozN2… Chicken Pesto Omelette While the omelette itself is tasty, I feel that it's a bit on the smaller side. From now on, eggs benedict all the way! Fruit Bowl More like a fruit platter! For $5.95, I feel it's reasonable for the amount of fruit you get...compared to other restaurants. I wished I took a picture because it was so pretty. I think it changes with what's available but mines came with watermelon, blueberries, strawberries, pineapple, grapes, and a cutie! Others that I "sampled" Corned beef hash - It's different than what I expected. It looks like hash brown. It has a unique taste but once you add some ketchup, it's complete :) Fried rice - Really yummy! It reminds me of the public school fried rice but better lol. Think local style. Roasted potatoes - I love those! Seasoned perfectly and the portions are just right although I do hope for some more but that's just the phattie in me speaking. Overall I love this little restaurant! The service has been excellent. My water is filled before I even realize it. The food does take a while to come out but it's definitely made with LOVE! Weekends will always be busy so plan accordingly.

    This place is a hidden gem. We had a hard time looking for it. The service here is AMAZING!! The food is even better so fresh and flavorful. I ordered the epic burrito and was so full after finishing half. I love this place. MUST TRY

  • Debra V.

    What yummy breakfast! Went with 2 others, and so glad I did, because that way we got to try more than one thing. The only downfall? Like everyone else says, the parking is awful! But that's not the fault of the restaurant, and they do have a sign posted on the door about the situation with waiting and the notorious parking attendants! The inside is a cute, beachy type atmosphere. It's tiny, but not crammed feeling. Pictures on the walls look like family, and the vibe is very casual. All the servers were super nice, and didn't make us feel rushed at all, even when they did get busy. The portions were very good-sized, and a good value for the price. We ordered: -Veggie eggs benedict--I'm a sucker for a good Hollandaise sauce, and this was delicious! Not grossly cloying, and a smidgie amount of spice. Lots of tomatoes, spinch, and crispy English muffins. It came with hashbrowns which were so ono! They were spread super-thin, which made them ultra-crispy, and not covered in grease. -Blueberry & cream cheese stuffed french toast--3 stuffed pieces, creamy cream cheese and filled with blueberries! -Spinach/chicken/cheese omelet--stuffed full with everything! Came with the same hashbrowns. All in all, with the exception of the parking, I would definitely recommend breakfast here--you can't go wrong with anything on the menu!!!!

    Place is always packed and for good reason. Staff is friendly and food is amazing. Went with the breakfast burrito today with Rich and Oliver serving it up, but so much goodness on the menu, the French toast, kalua eggs beni, the mess... On and on, 5 stars crew!

    I keep meaning to try this place but I never seem to get the chance. This morning we went for Sunday brunch and at first I was a little intimidated by the line but people were in and out pretty quick and we only waited 10 minutes or so. The service was great, everyone was friendly and helpful and the food was out quickly. I had the chicken pesto with a side order of Portuguese sausage. Everything tastes fresh and had a ton of flavor. For a small place they had a pretty big menu with everything from pancakes to sandwiches. Highly recommended for a quick breakfast fix.

    With a name like "Sweet E's," I was expecting to walk into a homey country cafe with friendly female waitresses addressing everyone with, "sweetie." "What can I get for you, sweetie?" Boy was I in for a surprise! The decor is more beach cottage than country cottage and the servers were brawny young men. My group of girls thought that the men were there to make it extra "sweet" for all the ladies having brunch. Aside from the eye candy (don't tell the hubby!), the food was also pretty drool-worthy. Luckily none of us were worried about impressing anyone, so 4 girls decided to have a brunch feast! We ordered the blueberry stuffed french toast, corned beef hash eggs benedict, lox and bagel, spinach and feta omelette, and a side of fried rice to share. Believe it or not, we finished it all! It was that good! The servers kept on coming back to try and clear our plates, but we were like, "Uh, no. We are still working on it!" And we finished every last bit! I'm sure they were thinking that girls shouldn't be eating that much, and were wanting to get rid of us so that they could get more people in the door. Sorry, but brunch food is made to enjoy fresh! The wait was about half an hour on a Sunday morning. There really aren't many tables so the wait is understandable. My favorite dish was the corned beef hash eggs benedict. It was flavorful, but didn't weigh me down all day. Lox and bagel is hard to mess up, so if you're in the mood for it, this one will do the job. The stuffed french toast was delicious, but personally, I was expecting a little more stuffing if you know what I mean! There's nothing wrong with a little more sweet! The omelette was good, but I'm not much of an omelette person so it was probably my least favorite dish. Fried rice was also pretty good. I went home and told the hubby what he missed out on and he was very upset! I'll definitely have to go back with him.

    Breakfast here on Sunday morning for the first time with the girls was fun and tasty. It's got such a cute interior and the staff is friendly and efficient. We were lucky to avoid a wait and got one of the last available tables. Our table tried the corned beef hash Benedict, side stuffed blueberry French toast, chicken pesto omelette with fried rice, spinach feta omelette, and stuffed banana French toast, and egg white omelette with cheese. Our food was prepared well with healthy fresh ingredients and tasty.

    Came on Wednesday morning around 10:30 and got seated right away. The guys there are very friendly and the service is fast. The coffee and fried rice is super bomb. I got the Hawaiian omelet as well and it was pretty good too. Pretty sizeable portion for breakfast and I would totally come back again. It is a small place located in the back of the plaza and the parking lot is pretty hectic to navigate if you use the parking lot, but there are paid parking meters in front of the building and it is worth the effort to eat here.

  • Tera E.

    Waited two hours because a party if about 15 was before us. Had it not been my sisters birthday I would have left. The price for the food was a little pricey for breakfast and I didn't find the food to be amazing like some of the yelpees said it was. Definitely not worth waiting two hours for. Parking is horrible, we parked as Safeway and walked. The staff was very friendly. Will I eat here again? Maybe, but only if I don't have to wait.

    I came here with my friend Jamie for the first time about 3 weeks ago! The guys were very nice and professional. We ordered an omelet to share and of course the blueberry french toast we always hear about. Both were very good, and not that it really matters to me but it was also plated very nice. Over-all experience was very good. Good spot.

  • Iris K.

    I absolutely adore this place! The flavors of everything I've tried here are amazing and the service is up to par. The decor is cute like a Sunday morning b&b and makes you feel like you've come home. The staff are fresh, young and full of smiles as they greet you at the door. Service is prompt and the waits have never been too long despite the lines and crowds with the quick and efficient service. My favorite meal of the day is breakfast and Sweet E's does it right every time. I always get something sweet and savory so if you're coming here with me be prepared to share hahaha. I can never finish the generous portions but have this incessant need to order a variety of items to satiate my taste buds. The last time I came the bf and I got regular French toast with a side of fruit, the big mess, and coffee. The coffee is always fresh and hot. I typically order one of their eggs benny with A side of fried rice with some sort of sweet treat like stuffed French toast. Yesterday I deviated slightly from the norm and I have to say my new favorite is the big mess - a heavenly explosion of multiple flavors that dance harmoniously on the taste buds - sure to satisfy the biggest of appetites. It has everything breakfast is made of - hash brown potatoes, eggs, veggies, cheese, and a sampling of breakfast meats. If you're a breakfast fan - Sweet E's will keep you coming back for more!

  • Eduardo S.

    Service was excellent, food orders were fast. Blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast was awesome. Portion sizes are pretty large, a big plus you can make two meals out of one order. Biggest downer for this place was the property managements draconian rules regarding where you can and can't wait outside of the restaurant. Fortunately the security guard was nice enough to explain exactly where you can and can't wait.

    Before heading to the Haleiwa area and Waimea Beach, we were in search for a breakfast place in the Waikiki area that wasn't too touristy. Alas our local friend Cesar recommended Sweet E's Cafe which I must say is a super cute breakfast and brunch place! When we arrived, the place wasn't too busy, we were able to get a table for four in less than 5 minutes. For breakfast we ordered the corn beef hash eggs benedict, blueberry stuffed french toast and the chicken pesto omelette. I hardly eat corn beef but since I was on vacation, why the heck not. The corn beef was very good and goes well with the eggs benedict. The blueberry stuffed french toast was delicious! Best stuffed french toast I've ever had. What's nice is you get a sweet and savory combo of the two. The chicken pesto omelette was very yummy as well. Service was also great. Very friendly and attentive! Servers made sure our waters and coffee's were always full. Definitely worth coming back next time around.

    Recently had brunch here for the first time and it took me by surprise! Although the location is in a more low key area, the service and food is amazingI A major plus for me is that it is not overly touristy like the other brunch places near the area. The majority of the people that I saw were locals just enjoying some good food with good company. My boyfriend had the blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast and I got the eggs benedict....both were equally delicious! I love that the french toast wasn't too overly sweet and the portions were pretty decent too. More than enough for my appetite. We look forward to having brunch here again :)

    About an hour wait but so worth it! The corn beef hash eggs Benedict with seasoned potatoes and blueberry cream cheese stuffed French toast are a must! Hands down the best eggs Benny I've ever had, tastes so much better than a classic Benny with Canadian bacon. I don't usually care for corn beef hash but I had to try it due to the many reviews and glad that I did cuz these were definitely made to perfection. The potatoes are on point too. The stuffed French toast is bomb.com and came with 3 but I was full after the 1st one since the filling is pretty thick, and probably cuz I also shared the hash eggs Benny too. But I don't see how someone can finish the whole plate 3 of those seems intense with all that filling lol. Overall great food, friendly staff, and cute indoor ambiance!

    Excellent little gem of a place. Been there several times and always left full and happy. I usually get the vegetarian eggs benedict, delicious. The stuffed french toast is amazing. On weekends there is a bit of a wait, but well worth it. The service is always quick. Can't go wrong with this place.

    If I could give this place more stars I would! Every time I read reviews about a place and people say its so wonderful...I always feel let down when I finally go to eat there...but sweet e's....blew me away!!! Blueberry French toast was great and not too sweet. I ordered the kalua eggs Benedict and my sister ordered the chicken pesto and a friend ordered corn beef hash...so we all shared. The Benedict's were FANTASTIC!!! And our server, kalena, was really good. Answered our questions and very attentive. Will definitely come back amd bring family and friends! ! Btw...they open at 7am and left our house at 6am to get here for opening...and it was so worth waking up at 530!!!

  • Lina P.

    Today I didn't get in. I figured parking on a sunday would be to my advantage but it wasn't...Not the parking, getting in. I saw people in little clusters trying to find the least awkward place to stand. I sat in a small shady spot on a stair and before I could look up the nice security guard came up to me and told me I basically need to stand anywhere not in front of a business even if its an empty store. Im not the type to try so hard to get in a place, its just not worth it. My tip, come when they open or befor they close, but best chance is when its pouring. So next time its raining cats and dogs, you run over here! Its just so exhausting to wait to eat anywhere. Some one needs to capitalize on this breakfast obsession and open a spot around this area.

    Eggs benedict is one of those breakfast dishes you always order when you see it on the menu cause 1) It's delicious 2) It's delicious and 3) My lazy ass will never make hollandaise sauce for a good eggs benedict. Thus, when I came here and saw corned beef hash eggs benedict on the menu, my heart went ba-bomp-ba-bomp and my mouth started to water. My brother has a theory, if you like 2 things individually, you'll like them together. I like corned beef hash and i like eggs benedict, so logically speaking, this should make me one happy diner. But damn you Sweet E's EGGS BENEDICT ARNOLD, why you gotta not live up to the hype i've been reading and hearing about. It may just be my own deuche-snobbery but i like my eggs benedict smothered in hollandaise. Essentially to me, hollandaise should be like gravy, in and out and all around.. You know what i'm sayin'? In addition, my eggs were over cooked and the pan roasted potatoes were under cooked. I sure hope that's not their idea of creating a well balanced dish. Corned Beef Hash Eggs Benedict: yelp.com/biz_photos/ozN2… I will say although the food didn't live up to expectations, the service was very good and the accommodated our huge party. I most definitely will be back to give it another try since it's so close to where I reside and lets face it, East Honolulu you are lacking in Breakfast joints.. Sweet E's: I'll be back so don't serve me Eggs Benedict Arnold again. :) k thanks.

    Best breakfast/brunch place on the island, HANDS DOWN. Everything on that menu is pure genius, me & my family cannot get enough of this place. Plus their service is good, and parking isn't that bad. There's almost always a line, but trust me it's worth the wait. When you get inside, it's like you're in a house. The food is to die for. You most definitely try Sweet E's!

    We went here on our second to last day on the island. What a treat! The stuffed French toast with blueberries and cream cheese was amazing which we shared with the table. I ordered the Hawaiian omelet - Portuguese sausage and spam. Spouse ordered the corned beef hash eggs Benedict. All our dishes we ordered were super yummy! Can't wait to come back during our annual trip to the islands next year. Service and food both get five stars!

    Back again to one of my favorite places for breakfast to try different menu items. On this visit I ordered the Kalua Omelet with fried rice with sour dough bread. Perfect size omelet with grilled pepper,onions,tomatoes,smoked pork,kalua pig and monterey cheese. Loved the taste of the fresh vegs and the smokey pork flavors. The fried rice was wonderfully moist and made perfectly. (One of the best fried rices I ate in awhile). yelp.com/biz_photos/ozN2… 1/19/2013 Ate the LocoMoco special today. Arrived, no line again!,So lucky. Lots of open tables for a party of two.So relaxing atmosphere,you could see everyone was enjoying their weekend. I enjoyed the the LocoMoco.It had hint of spiciness in the gravy, hamburger cooked perfectly. yelp.com/biz_photos/swee…

    Get there early. We came on a Sunday at around 7:20am. They had 2 tables left. When we left, there was a crowd waiting. White wash walls with a relaxed beach-like setting. Parking on the weekend is the lot right behind the restaurant (located in Kilohana Square). More parking than tables. Of course I had the stuffed blueberry/cream cheese french toast. Super yummy with a cup of coffee. And not too sweet. $9.95 My daughter had a typical local breakfast $10.95 of portuguese sausage, scrambled egg and fried rice (2.00 extra) We switched halfway as she wanted mine instead. She doesn't like a mushy fried rice and theirs was. Not much flavor either. Scrambled eggs were just that. Nothing fancy just simply put together. The breakfast sandwiches coming out looked really good as well as the eggs benedicts (different types). Would definitely get the stuffed french toast again. Still can't beat Cafe Kaila's waffles though. There were a few complaints from other tables of dirty silverware, drinks not hot enough, food not hot enough. But mine was fine and I had no problems with my food service. They are busy so if you're expecting long chats with the waitstaff, look somewhere else.

    I've never heard of this place until a girlfriend suggested we eat here after the Great Aloha Run this past Monday. Luckily we had no problem getting a seat because it wasn't crowded at all, and the place is a whole in the wall were seats are limited. It looked like the 2 waiters that were there were also the host. The place gave me a easy going sit down restaurant and reminded me of a cool summer morning eating on the porch with the bright color flowers, white interior and photos displayed everywhere on the wall. I ordered the "build your own" omelette which I added 3 items of spinach, mushroom and portuguese sausage. I chose the wheat bread toast and potato's for the side. The omelette was a good size and they were generous with the potato's which by the way were excellent. My friend had the kalua eggs benedict and she liked it and my other friend got the same as me but she added bacon, cheese and portuguese sausage in hers. Our omletes was about $11 and the eggs Benedict was around the same price. Overall it's a good breakfast joint that satisfied your tummy and wallet. Location and parking is in the back of Mr. Ojisan so finding it can be a little difficult. And bathroom is in another building.

  • Jack W.

    Recommended! Food: we had the Kalua Pork Eggs Benedict and the Extreme Mess (eggs, meats, onions, and more all scrambled together with toast). Both were great dishes; the roast potatoes were great to a point of not needing ketchup. The Extreme Mess was good but comes up short compared to what you can find at the Cafe Kaila. Hungry folks will definitely want to order more as the portion sizes will leave one wanting. Service: Can't find a fault other than the rush to deliver the check because it's busy. Great servers! Atmosphere: Hole in the wall - parking in the complex may be tough to find and you're likely going to have wait outside for a table. The interior is nicely remodeled with black and white photos and decor. Value: Come for the food, not the price or smaller portion size.

    Pretty average. We had the oriental chicken salad, stuffed blueberry French toast, and the "extreme mess" scramble. There was a very long wait to get seated (granted, we had a party of 6), but our waiter was polite and attentive. It was a good breakfast overall, but I probably wouldn't go back.

    I had to revisit this place with my hubby because he loves breakfast and he loves corned beef hash. I also wanted compare their waffle with Cafe Kaila's Belgian waffle. First of all, it was about 7:50 am on Sunday morning and we passed Cafe Kaila on the way to Sweet E's. We could see a lot of cars in front of Cafe Kaila and saw a couple of people standing in front of the entrance. But when we arrived at Sweet E's, there were only a few cars in their lot and only a few customers in the restaurant. Now onto the waffle. The waffle was not as crispy as Cafe Kaila's, but it was pleasing to my palate, thanks to the hint of cinnamon in the batter. I believe they also use wheat batter, so I guess it's a little healthier than Kaila's Belgian waffle. I ordered my waffle with fruit and liked that it came with sliced bananas, blueberries and strawberries, whereas Kaila's waffle comes only with strawberries. The verdict? Both were equally pleasing, but if I had to choose I think I would choose Cafe Kaila because of the crispness. My hubby absolutely loved the corned beef hash!! The lady at the stationary store next door told us that E's lunch is better than the breakfast, so I would definitely like to visit them again for lunch.

    Breakfast served ALL DAY in Kilohana Square in the old India Cafe spot. I ordered both breakfast and lunch during this visit... ORDER: Corned beef hash eggs Benedict (ask for extra sauce!!) yelp.com/biz_photos/ozN2… DO NOT ORDER: Cobb Salad Thank goodness Sweet E realized we need a breakfast place on this side of the island because it's downright unfair how Kailua gets ALL the cool delicious morning food! If you live on the windward side, stay there! You got plenty of choices in your 'hood! PARK if you're feeling LUCKY in the Kilohana Square parking lot for free. If not, street metered 1hr parking available. DECOR is cute and cozy and "feels like you're walking into a SoHA store.-Mike O" But I was extremely hungry and a bit lightheaded so I didn't care about decor, just gimme the menu please. Aargh too many choices, I could not think straight! Kim M to the rescue! She was on the table next to us and when her CORNED BEEF HASH EGGS BENEDICT ($11.95) arrived, I wanted to inhale it right there. So that's what i ordered. Thanks Kim for the visual recommendation-it's a good thing you weren't next to me or I would've eaten your food before you had a chance! I ordered my own version (no English muffin, add fried rice +$1.50) and it was devoured in under 10 minutes. My recommendation: get the corned beef Benedict (awesome!), skip the fried rice (not so awesome). I've had better benedicts, but not on Kapahulu Avenue or anywhere nearby. Kyle H ordered the CHICKEN PESTO OMELETTE which was very very good. How do I know this? Because she WAS sitting next to me and I DID eat her food! It's always family style with us, ha ha. Even the potatoes were great! Emi H ordered the BBQ CHICKEN FLATBREAD. Either she's been lying about eating like a half-Samoan or she didn't like her food because she left a lot on her plate. I was still hungry so I ordered a Cobb Salad ($10.50). It might be the worst Cobb salad I have ever eaten, and definitely not worth $10.50. So if you come here, stick with BREAKFAST, even if it's lunchtime. This place is kinda tiny so I'm sure it gets busy on the weekends, but we went for lunch on a weekday and it was not crowded at all. Do I like it more than the Kailua breakfast eateries? No. But this is way closer and more convenient for me, so I'll probably be coming back soon. HOURS 7AM-3:30PM DAILY.

    This place is cute. It's a small little restaurant on kapahulu. We came here on a Saturday morning. Parking was LIMITED. Which makes sense since it's a small restaurant but you might have to vulture for parking. After that, you have to go in the restaurant and sign your name on a list and then wait outside to be called. My only gripe is that they need some more chairs or something outside :( There's not really anywhere to sit and you have to stand up. There's even a security guard outside telling you that you can't stand on other stores property. He was friendly though and liked to spark up conversation with the people waiting. We waited about 20-25 minutes. That's typical for such a small restaurant with limited seating. After we get in we ordered some drinks and had a look at the menu. Prices are descent and the waiter took our food. What i found interesting is that the whole staff are MEN. Probably in their 20-30's. BUFF local men wearing shirts that say Sweet E Cafe lol. No women! I wonder why that is???? Anyways, we got our food pretty quickly. My bf had the stuffed blueberry cream cheese french toast with fruits and I had their 2 egg breakfast with potatoes and link sausage. YUM. Mines was gone quickly and so was his. The food satisfied me, but my bf was still hungry. The portions aren't huge but they're not tiny. Just right. It depends on how hungry you are. The atmosphere is nice. It looks like a tiny beach shack on the inside. With pictures of the beach, seashells and the white walls and floors. There are pictures of I'm assuming the owners and their families. This place is NOT good for groups. It's hard for them to seat anything more than 4 or 5 because the restaurant is so tiny. Me gusta! I'll come back here again.

    Great little spot for breakfast, but come early as it gets crowded. The corned beef hash was awesome! It's homemade!

    Drove from Ewa Beach because there is no great breakfast places on the Leeward side. This was worth the drive and half hour wait. Please open on the Leeward side! I have to add a little more to this now that I have gone more times. The wait can be 40 mins or more on weekends.....but the food is still worth the wait. Seems like the tourists have found out about this place too so for the locals there is less of a wait on week days.

    This was a great experience for me. I came with a friend here for brunch and loved it. I would recommend it for anyone with a car that wants an American-style breakfast in a clean, well managed environment.

    I. Love. This. Place. The food is ALWAYS amazing and everyone I've ever brought here falls in love with this place! The blueberry cream cheese stuffed French toast is the BEST thing I've ever tasted, it's like heaven on a pretty white plate. My other favorite dish is the Kalua pig eggs Benedict with roasted potatoes. I could go on all day about those roasted potatoes... I'll always be a die hard fan!

    Oh my goodness how have i not written a review for this place yet. Well, Sweet E's is my favorite place for breakfast. Surprisingly, in Hawaii, it's hard to find a place that makes good breakfast. Hard to believe,right? It's such a simple meal time but so many things can go wrong. Anyways the menu is failry easy. Omelette selection in the front and top and benedicts at the bottom of the front page. The "American" omelette is good but if you're going to eat eggs, please, for goodness sake, get the benedicts. I know the other reivews seem mixed. Yea, i admit, sometimes the eggs are too hard and not runny enough and the biscuit is hard to cut. But dang---people! HOLLANDAISE sauce. Seriousy, they are not stingy about that HOLLANDAISE sauce. I would say 85% of the time I come here I order the Kalua Pork Benedict. with a side order of one pancake cause i'm fat like that. I like their potato thing cause it's always crispy. NEver ate the benedicts with rice or hash. Second page and my second favorites are the pancakes, waffles, french toast, and bagel stuff. I've had the blueberry stuffed french toast thing. :O whoa! oh my goodness! Whoa :O i love it! But i gotta go running after. Feel soooo fat after. I love their pancakes cause they are so fluffy and just home tasting. I hate pancakes that taste too...doughish? SUMMARY: Get the benedicts, omelette, pancakes, and french toast NOTE: It gets really crowded so if you're hungry either eat a snack before or come before 8:00AM. IF you think strolling in around 8:30 is okay...no! It will be crowded and you will have to wait. The good thing about this plae is that it has its own parking lot. And be patient with the service. It may be a small place but it is also a small team too.

    Another great place for breakfast. I have had the messy omellete, but I love the blueberry creamcheese french toast and pancakes. I ordered the side of portuguese sausage with my blueberry creamcheese french toast. The breakfast burrito is good too. The wait is about 40 minutes for a party of 3-4 and the wait is about 30 minutes for a party of 2 because they have more tables to seat smaller parties.

    This is my new Cafe Kaila. Wait, wait, wait, let me explain. The wait is not as bad. The longest I've waited for a table for two was about 5 minutes and that's at the peak time on a Saturday. The food is just as yummy as Cafe Kaila, but they also offer FRIED RICE. Yah. Yah. Yah. What? Need I say more? Okay, I will. If you are fan of Cafe Kaila, you will love Sweet E's. Don't convert just come by here if your main girl is busy. You know, small kine side action. Sweet E's has a cute waitstaff, too. Just saying.

    The breakfast crissant sandwiches were good, a little more pricey than they needed to be, but good, and big. The girl was very nice, but the male waiter was not... Maybe he had a bad day when I was there...

    Who doesn't love breakfast food, period? How about who doesn't love breakfast food at 1pm on a Sunday, after a crazy Saturday night/morning? Well, that's the exact predicament I found myself in when I stopped by Sweet E's Cafe. I knew this joint had to be good when I saw a line out front even before I got near the door. So how'd it go? Let's get down to the nitty gritty. Parking: Parking is in the same shopping center as Mr. Ojisan that's right off Kapahulu, heading towards the zoo and Kalakaua. Stalls are small and the lot itself is tight, so watch yourself! If there's no more space, there's always street parking nearby. Know Before you Go: 1) There will more likely than not, be a line for seating. There's a small book/clipboard on a table inside the restaurant where you write down your name and the number of people in your party. If you're having a party larger than 4, send someone ahead of time to write down your name/party and wait! *I came with just one other friend and the wait was still around 20 minutes* 2) Dishes here range from $7-$15 on average, but the portions are generous and you'll have no problem filling your tummy, even a guy like me who eats TONS had leftovers to take home. Food: 1) I had the "Extreme Mess," and yes, that's the actual name for it. Basically it's like a giant frittata filled with ham, bacon, scallions, mushrooms, roasted potatoes, and cheese. Comes with a side of toast and fruit decor. Let me tell you, this tasted good and was quite heavy as well. It didn't blow me away like some culinary miracle, but that's not what I was expecting. It was very good for the size and price. 2) As with any breakfast escapade, you gotta at least try their Belgian Waffles. I'll start off by saying addition of fruit is $1.75 if memory serves me right. That kind of threw me at first, but when you see the amount of fruit they add, I'm okay with it. The waffles themselves were soft and fluffy on the inside with just the right amount of sweetness. 3) My friend had the Breakfast Wrap. I believe you have a choice of meat inside, but I do remember that it had a filling that was similar to my "Extreme Mess" (LOL). Paired with their house salsa though I have to say it tasted fantastic. The portion was so filling my friend could only finish half. Yup, score on this dish too. Atmosphere: The decor inside has got this cutesy/boutique kind of feel to it, with small potted trees inside and comfy booth seats. The place itself is actually pretty small though and they do a good job of creating the illusion that it's larger than it really is with mirrors. With so many people there it does get loud, so I wouldn't choose this place for a romantic meal for two that you'd have serious, meaningful conversations at. For perspective, my table was no more than 2 feet away from the next, and I could hear everybody's conversation. Yeah. Overall: I would definitely come back. The food tastes good, the prices won't break the bank, and they serve breakfast foods til late. A great alternative to Cafe Kaila down the road.

    Came here for breakfast when I was visiting Waikiki last week. I had the corned beef benedict and wifey had the breakfast burrito. Both were fantastic and the portions were perfect. Excellent coffee and super service. How can I give anything other than 5 stars?

    (5)

  • Allie L.

    I am one of those people that can eat breakfast for any meal of the day. If something's got an egg on it (preferably fried or runny) I want it. And Sweet E's thankfully can fill that void for me at say, 3:30 in the afternoon. BUT I met a girlfriend here at 11:00 on a Wednesday to be seated immediately, quickly served, and stuff our faces. I had the chicken pesto omlette; inhaled it. She had the corned beef hash benedict; mopped it. Needless to say, I can skip Cafe Kaila (gasp! yes!) to come here.

  • arlene d.

    This is a cute restaurant. My bf and I came in for breakfast and wanted to order everything on the menu. I decided on the corn beef hash with scrambled eggs and fried rice omg it was soo delicious I loved the fried rice and the corn beef hash one of the best I've ever had!! My bf got an omelet with Portuguese sausage and other things and it came with rice he liked it and we had a blueberry pancake to share yes we did! It was really good as well can't wait to come back and try something else on their menu. Mmm..

  • Jenn F.

    Service was super efficient! Love their set-up, wish I thought of it. Waters direct you to an open, clean table with water & menu waiting for you. Husband ordered kalua pig omelet, I got breakfast burrito w/homemade hash (only cuz I had a lunch appointment, otherwise I would had ordered the hash eggs benedict). Table next to us, 1 of the 2 guys ordered 2 entrees and finished both! Prices are affordable for the portions (excessive)! Service is nice, all cute, courteous local boys. Will definitely go there again!

    Last day of the trip, possibly the best breakfast of the trip. Seating and served quickly, restaurant was very cozy, and service was great. I had the chicken pesto omelet and my wife has the breakfast burrito. Both were amazing. We'll be back on our next trip!

  • Erin L.

    Great breakfast selection for your townie breakfast lovers. Love the Corned Beef hash Benedict! Eggs Benedict selections are not usually my first choice at any restaurants, but this one is always at the top of my list. If you are in a sweet mood, the stuffed french toast is an excellent choice that will not leave you disappointed! This place would have gotten 5 stars from me, but 4 stars only due to limited parking and long wait time. Don't let that stop you from checking this place out though!

    Absolutely loved this place! Tried it because of the great reviews on yelp and boy were they right! Best eggs benedict I've had in a while and my husband loved his original french toast! Raved about it to the parents and they can't wait to go now too! Perfect breakfast spot!

  • Sherry M.

    I heard positive things about this place that my hubby and I finally decided to break ranks from our favorite breakfast spot to try this place. Oh how I wish I stayed faithful to our usual place. All I can say is that this place is overrated. We ordered the kalua pork eggs benedict and corned beef hash benedict. The english muffin was extremely tough to cut through, not toasted, and totally tasteless. On top of that, the pork and corn beef hash were luke warm and stale. I couldn't even finish one bite of the corn beef hash. The eggs were small and overcooked. The server was nice to bring another one, but again, came out overcooked. He felt bad so he brought me a third one. By that time, I lost my appetite. After running a couple of errands, my hubby brought me to my favorite place, which I will stay faithful to moving forward. The only star is for the decor. Cute.

    Wonderful find thanks to Yelp. Great staff, delicious food and nice strong coffee. We ordered the stuffed French toast, the corned-beef hash eggs benedict and the American omelet. All were more than ample portions and completely satisfying (we were hungry). The only downsides are the wait and soup-Nazi security guard. The first is expected, the second is unfortunate.

  • Jonathan S.

    Three of us had two corn beef hash eggs Benedict and one traditional eggs Benedict. The service was fast and very friendly. More importantly, our meals were delicious and extremely reasonable! We are definitely coming back to this gem! Please note, follow directions exactly as the restaurant is in the back of Kilohana Square off Kapahulu and can be a little challenging to find, but totally worth the effort!

    Had the Extreme Mess. A whole lot of food for the price! Tasted great, hit the spot! Everyone else in my party seemed to enjoy their meals as well. Must visit this spot if you're in town!

  • Collin W.

    I didn't love this place. I got the extreme mess and it just felt like a bunch of stuff thrown together. I couldn't really taste any of the individual components. The fried rice was decent though but definitely not worth the wait. It's a pretty small place too so I wouldn't recommend for large parties.

  • a p.

    My favorite breakfast place in town. We always share the hash eggs beni and the blueberry cream cheese stuffed French toast. All the boys that work there are on top of it and polite. You always have your drink refilled! They should buy up stores around them and expand. Wish no one knew about it because the line kills ya sometime. Also the parking attendant and standing room outside is strange. Always a good idea to go put your name in and come back.

Topical favorites Kalua eggs Benedict and the stiffed French toast with of course fruit on top! The serves are friendly and fast. I gotta say the music really makes it a laid back breakfast place . Good music

  • Courtney Y.

    This little cozy homey breakfast place deserves a standing ovation. Probably one of my all time favorite, top breakfast place (standing amongst the elites such as Cinnamon's), this place lives up to the hype. I've come through this way at least 5 times to date (and sadly, not more), bringing my friends, fellow foodies, co workers, etc. And today was no exception. Twas a weekday, a Thursday, (one of the perks of having a summer break), at a half an hour past 8AM. Amazingly, not crowded at all, found parking very easily, and what was even better-- no wait to stuff our faces! In fact, I was kind of surprised walking into the place and there were seats available off hand! My favorite part: eating. Nom nom. I did my research on Yelp offhand before going to Sweet E's Cafe to pick up more pointers and heard about asking the server for their "top secret" liikoi butter. I thought I was being quite smug lowering my voice to ask the server if they had their special lilikoi butter after I ordered a side of toast to compliment my Epic Breakfast Burrito, but took it back upon finding out they had no lilikoi butter (oh well, there will be a next time!) So instead, I ordered fried rice along with the Epic Breakfast Burrito. The Epic Breakfast Burrito is definitely epic for a reason. Loaded with eggs, green peppers, (your choice of) meat; I chose portuguese sausage, along with all things magical to make it so darn addicting. Along with that salsa (must be homemade), it's the perfect combo. My eating didn't just stop there. It ventured to the fried rice. It's not your typical fried rice, which makes this fried rice hard to describe. Looks like you just have to order it yourself to judge for yourself! I'm such a stinker for not reviewing this place earlier. Some of my other faves that they are known for (and I can verify are delish) are the Kalua Pig Eggs Benedict, and Blueberry Stuffed French Toast. But I suppose I will have to just go back there again to make sure it has maintained its deliciousness. Hands down, Sweet E's Cafe. If you're in town, for breakfast, or for lunch, or whenever (just not night time -- pretty sure they are closed around then) make sure to visit and swing by, if you don't want to wait, you can always order to go!

    I'm not really a diner type of person. I like the frou frou places like 26 Beach in Venice CA. Sweet E's Cafe kind of reminds me of 26 Beach. It's a cute little restaurant with cool menu options like blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast! For around $9... BTW, I did order that and it was great!! When we got there it wasn't too busy since we got there right when it opened. Also they have a parking lot and parking wasn't too bad but when they get busy later in the day it might be. If I lived in Honolulu, Sweet E's would be one of my favorite places to have breakfast. And yes I know my breakfast spots. I went out to a new place everyday for breakfast and this place was one of my favorites. This and Eggs N Things :)

    I cannot believe I did it AGAIN. I've been wanting to come here for quite some time now after reading numerous reviews and checking out the food pics. Several weeks ago I received a phone call from some a former colleague and we made arrangements to come here. But unfortunately, Eric Robert T. (AKA "Sweet E.") and Josie C. had planned an UYE this past Monday and wanted to attend to meet more Yelpsters. However, I did NOT want to patronize here 2x in 3 days, and passed on the UYE. BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! Arrived here shortly before 11am and was greeted by the parking attendant asking me where I was going. Was advised to park in an empty stall EXCEPT for the 15 min marked stalls. I was the 1st one to arrive in my party of 3 and I stepped in only to find ALL tables occupied. I wrote my name on the waiting list and sat outside in the HOT sun. Within 10 mins the staff called my name and was escorted to the corner table with waters, menus and silverware all set-up nicely. I was able to glance at the menu before my friends showed up but I had my mind set on their famous homemade corned beef hash eggs benedict w/ hash browns! The lunch items on the menu start from 11am so a friend ordered the Kalua pork sliders w/ hoisin sauce and the other ordered the spinach and Feta cheese omelet w/ fried rice. Since it's been quite some time since we last saw each other we were having a great time talking while waiting for our food. I swear, it felt like we only waited about 5 mins and all 3 plates of food came. This is where my experience goes down hill. Disappointment #1: the food was lukewarm. Disappointment #2: the homemade corned beef hash was filled with shredded potato and could only see specks of beef here and there. Disappointment #3: the hollandaise sauce lacked flavor. I was tempted to add salt but just mixed it up with the hash browns and some ketchup. I was able to try the spinach and Feta cheese omelet and Kalua pork slider. They were both OK, nothing special in my opinion. The service overall was quite good. My iced coffee was refilled several times and after waiting about 15 mins, Splenda finally did make it to our table. Report Card from Paul FOOD: 3-stars SERVICE 4-stars I came here to eat food so my overall review yields 3-stars from me. Next time, I want to try their famous stuffed french toast. Hopefully it'll be a better experience for me.

    Le'ts make this review simple! This is a hidden little jewel located in Kilohana Square. Parking can be a challenge since this little mall is stuffed wtih cute shops, florists and other eateries. I think if you're lucky you might find street parking BEFORE you turn into Kilohana Square itself. The restaurant is adorable. It feels like you're eating breakfast at someone's beach house as there are bright colors and family photographs on the wall. Shells strewn about and a very open feel. The BREAKFAST is the way to go. I always get the Denver Omelette and the fiance gets something that has EVERYTHING thrown into it. I can't remember the name but you get alot of food! You can get fried rice, rice or roasted potatoes with your breakfast. I recommend the roasted potatoes - they are seasoned just right and not undercooked like some places. You also get toast with your meal. We have not tried the "sweet" breakfast like the french toast but it looked awesome when it arrived at a neighboring table. WOW!! Check this place out. It's usually crowded but there are some days and off times when you can get right in! Staff is SUPER nice and attentive.

    Service: fabulous; love their hustle Ambiance: nice and comfortable Wait: not bad on a weekday around 1030. Waited about 5 minutes Parking: sucks. Had to park on street Food: out was okay. I mean you can't really screw up on breakfast foods. I had breakfast burrito which was tasty and my man had the blueberry cream cheese stuffed French toast. He wasn't as impressed. It's hard to beat the cinnamon swirl pancakes at moena cafe. He is a fan of that place

  • Joy H.

    Went here for a Sunday brunch with a few of my girlfriends...the wait was pretty long but sooo worth it. I got the veggie eggs Benedict with hash browns. The hash browns were what sealed the deal for me. I have never had hash browns so perfectly flavorful and crispy (except for at home). It's a little tricky to find at first but all you need to do is turn on kihei street and you'll see a little sign that says "sweet e cafe parking" ENJOY!!

  • Vivian L.

    This is one of my favorite brunch places, not just because I'm brunch-obsessed, but because it's situated in a cozy area that's not as tourist-infested as other places. Don't get me wrong, though. It can still get pretty crowded. Best times to avoid long waits are as early as 7:30 a.m. or later around 12:30 p.m. I've come with just my boyfriend and with a group as large as 8 people. Just plan accordingly! My absolute favorite dish is definitely the Corn Beef Hash Eggs Benedict. The portions, at least when I arrived for a 7:30 breakfast, were humungous. I usually get this with a side of crispy hash browns. Their fried rice is tasty but too salty for my taste. I've also had the Traditional Eggs Benedict, but I still prefer the corn beef hash. For those with a sweeter tooth, I highly recommend the Stuffed French Toast with Blueberry Cream Cheese. It's not overly sweet, and you're served a large portion of three pieces. I can only finish a piece and a half on a good day! Otherwise, I get their pancakes. I love their fluffy pancakes topped with fruits (strawberries, blueberries, bananas). The last time I went, I had their Breakfast Burrito with corn beef hash. (Can you tell I love corn beef hash??) I didn't like it as much as I had hoped to. It has everything I love, though--potatoes, cheese, eggs, green onions, and a breakfast meat of your choice. The burrito came with salsa and was lightly toasted on one side. Even with all the yumminess in one wrap, I didn't find it particularly flavorful without the salsa. I'll probably try it with a different meat choice next time. Overall, I love the atmosphere of Sweet E's. My servers have always been wonderful. I never mind leaving with a takeout box from here!

  • Maria G.

    One of the cutest places to have breakfast! Won't break the bank either! Great selection of pancakes/waffles or omelettes. You can get the omelettes with egg whites too (if you're trying to stay healthy). The place is très cute with almost a french countryside feel with a beachy twist. Small and cozy so make sure to get here early, especially on weekends, when it gets packed. The food at Cafe Kaila is slightly better but this place takes the cake because it doesn't have the annoying wait (usually). Yay for breakfast places!

    Pretty good sandwiches. I tried the Cilantro hummus and my husband the Italian. Both were amazing. Quick service, friendly staff even during busy hours!

  • N H.

    I would give Sweet E's 5 stars, as the food is consistently excellent and the service fast, but what took away one star is the loud, tinny music that seems to have been added. We had to talk above the noise to get heard. Just what one doesn't need for a leisurely breakfast. Maybe, since the place is so popular that is the way to get the diners to hurry up their meal and clear the table for the next setting? Other than that, the waffles are crispy, the coffee hot, the French toast is flavorful, and I find the consistent quality of the food a step above Kaila's. If they could just dump that speaker.

  • Josie C.

    This is in conjunction with my previous UYE review ;) Okay so, here's the breakdown of my experience here.... ORDERING: It was simple for all of us. It was obvious we all did our research on yelp before coming here CORNBEEF EGGS BENEDICT: (I added avocado for an extra $2 more) I love cornbeef and it was so tasty. The bene sauce was not to lemony or too thick or thin. It was perfectly done. The hashbrown caught me off guard because it was thin and crispy. Kind of like Hash Fries. Ha! It tasted good though. BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE STUFFED FRENCH TOAST: oh yah!! I was kind of hesitant at first because I don't really care for too much blueberry but I love creamcheese. The stuffing was perfect. The blueberry didn't overpower the creamcheese or the french toast itself. I really did embrace my PHATness with this meal. SERVICE: Good! Although the servers seemed "monotone", to take in a party of 12 with no wise remarks or "facial disturbance" always reassures me of good customer service. Waters were filled regularly. Food came out quick. And when we said we were all paying in separate checks, there was no problem at all. I really value not feeling guilty. Ha! PRICE: It's kind of on the pricey side ($8-$18) compared to most breakfast places. But I enjoyed the food so much, I wouldn't mind spending the extra dollars to come back. ATMOSPHERE: For being so popular, it's a small restaurant. Probably enough to fit 45-50 at a time. But it is well kept and clean. It was a great ambience to just chill and talk story. Even though they were busy, they didn't make us feel rushed. I know I'll definitely be back.

    Came here the other day for breakfast and absolutely loved it! Lucky for us, we got there around 815 and just missed the morning rush, so our wait was only like 5 minutes. After reading reviews on yelp, there were so many things that I wanted to order! Or knew that I should try. But I just went with a basic breakfast and ordered a Denver Omelet. I love the combination of ham, onions, peppers and cheese!!! I also like how the omeletes are made so that the toppings aren't necessarily inside the eggs, but inside the egg- like wrapped in it. It also comes with rice or potatoes or hashbrowns and toast! You can bet I was extremely full by the time I ate half of it..... Not to mention- the service was great! All the men were so kind and caring, I really felt right at home. I can't wait to come back and try other things!

    Food presentation was nice. Eggs in Egg Benedict was cooked to perfection, hash and potatoes were fried in old oil and fried too dark, fruit garnish of orange and strawberry were fresh. English muffin, just ok. I could taste the sliver of Canadian bacon. Regular coffee with refill was good. Wife's corn beef hash was delicious. Had a deconstructed corn beef hash Benedict with muffin on side. Very tasty and warm hollandaise! Be back soon. Only short 10 minute wait . Wish they were in Kahala.

    I have nothing but positive things to say about this place. Awesome service and equally awesome food. Their French toast is amazing as is their eggs Benedict. Favorite place for breakfast in Honolulu for sure.

    Came across Sweet E's Cafe while browsing breakfast/brunch places in Honolulu. Sweet E's came up...well, I noticed mostly the delicious pictures from Yelp so we decided to give it a try. Firstly, we had a hard time finding it, since we're not from the area, we had to rely on the GPS. The cafe is tucked into a tiny plaza. The place itself is equally as tiny, but we only had to wait a short while. We also went on a Sunday so there was a good amount of spots since most of the businesses were closed. The employees are friendly and fast. The husband ordered a "make your own omelete" containing kalua pig, spinach, cheese, and mushrooms. The eggs were so fluffy it was like eating air...tasty air. I ordered the banana stuffed french toast. I have no idea what they put in there, but it was pretty delicious. I would definitely come back.

    On a spontaneous decision to eat breakfast somewhere in town, I came across this little cafe. On Sundays, the parking is conveniently in a reserved lot in the back of the building. It was already prime breakfast time when my bf and I arrived at 9am. There were groups of people waiting outside for a table. We decided to take a chance and went in to look at the wait list. Luckily, we were the only group of two and were seated immediately! The menu was full of meats, eggs, French toast, pancakes, waffles and lunch entrees for later in the day. The server was able to graciously accommodate my dietary needs. I ordered the breakfast burrito with no meat, no eggs, plus spinach and mushrooms. My bf got the chicken and pesto omelet. The wait was not long till we got our food, all the while our coffee and water glasses were topped off quite frequently. My burrito was stuffed with veggies and cheese, yummy, though the cheese grease was dripping out from the bottom. My bf's omelet was also filled to capacity, with a side of herbed potatoes and a slice of toast. We nearly didn't finish out plates! The decor was light blue and very feminine, with photos of women on the walls, which oddly didn't reflect the male majority staff. But it only made me like the cafe even more.

    Ordered: -Corned beef hash Benedict with fried rice: It was delicious. The eggs were perfectly poached and the hollandaise sauce was delicious. The corned beef was crispy and was real corned beef. Not the ones out of the can. The fried rice was seasoned well and had lots of breakfast meats inside. Will get this when I come back. -Blueberry cream cheese stuffed French toast: I personally think that this dish is overrated. I thought that the cream cheese was a little too much. It kind of over powered the whole dish. I won't be getting this dish again. This restaurant has a very cute decor. It is small so you will probably have to wait a while for seats. The waiter for my table was not friendly and I felt that we were being rushed. Although I didn't have a great experience, I may return for their corned beef hash benedict.

    For a first timer, I wouldn't rate it too high. We first get there and we see that there are a lot of people waiting. I assumed by the amount of people waiting that they are really good. The first thing I would say I didn't like from the beginning is that, people that got there after us were seated before us. Now, there's only me and my husband...a group of people and a few couples got in before us, knowing we got there before them. Second, the couple that was seated after us got their foods way before us. I could see from my view that the orders they had was somewhat similar to ours, but not too sure why they got theirs before us. I must say that servers were on it. They constantly refilled our waters but we were only provided two napkins. I had to ask for a few more, my husband and I literally only had one napkins each. I chose the stuffed French toast, while my husband chose the build your own omelette, I think. I had to order a side order of the corned beef hash to go with my omelette since it didn't come in a combo or so. You almost immediately have to order a side dish if your the type to eat something salty with your sweets or vise versa. Overall, I would say that this will be something I will just use as an experience. I don't think I would drive all the way down here to eat and wait a long time like we did. Oh, and one more thing, you have to find a street parking because the parking right outside are not meant for their customers. It's a pretty small area. I'm assuming with all their customers coming there, they have to send them to park somewhere else.

    I am so happy that I found this place while vacationing in Oahu. Sweet E's Cafe is a great spot for breakfast - ate here twice in one week. The restaurant has a comfy, homely feel. The walls were all decorated with framed photos, and I overheard one of the servers telling a customer they were pictures of his family members. It felt as if I was eating a friend's or relative's house, which was really nice. All of the people that worked here looked like folks I would be friends with at home in the Bay Area. They played such good music - old school R&B and hip-hop. I was dancing and singing in my seat throughout my entire meal. I had the corn beef hash, two eggs over easy, and pancakes. It was delicious! Their corn beef hash hit the spot, which says a lot because the only other place I can get good corn beef is at home when my mom is cooking! Hahah I'll most definitely come back here when I visit Hawaii again!

    This is a really cute little restaurant hidden in Kilohana Square. Btw, Kilohana square is a pain in the butt. Make sure you go at a non-peak time so parking isn't too crazy. I ordered the corned beef hash Benedict with hash browns. Now I love me some comfort food but i took one bite of this and was FULL. It was way too rich for me, personally. Wasn't a huge fan of the hash browns either. My husband ordered One of the omelettes & really enjoyed it but agreed, it was quite rich. Still, a fun cute little place I'd try again if time permits. I wouldn't dare try coming on a weekend!

    I'm so happy that I can check this off of my food bucket list! Parking is really tight and it seems like it can be hard to find any parking if you go at a busy time because there are other restaurants located right by Sweet E's. But luckily, we were able to find a parking stall right in front and the three of us got seated right away (Then again it's Wednesday so it's not one of their busier days)The first thing that came to my mind is how cute the place is! There's family pictures on the wall and you literally feel like you're sitting at home. Of course, I had to try their blueberry cream cheese stuffed French toast because everyone has been raving about them. Please don't hate me but I didn't fall in love with them. Yes, the cream cheese was delicious and warm but it just didn't do it for me. BUT I did try my sister's dish (Corned Beef Hash Benedict) and it was HEAVEN! So much flavor and it really hit the spot. I will definitely be back here but for that Benedict!

    Well I'm overdue for an update seeing as I've been here at least 6 check in's! Can you tell that I have a little bit of a crush on this darling little cafe?? I've been here weekends and weekdays and it is consistently busy. Not always crowded with a long wait but I have yet to see them having a 'slow morning'. The guys are always friendly, greeting us upon entering and quick to bring us waters and ask if we're ready to order. I dream of benedict and french toast now, so I hardly need to peek at the menu anymore. Silly me, I keep telling myself "maybe I'll try something new this time". LOL! They really do serve an amazing benedict, each choice is tasty and I alternate between kalua pork and corned beef hash. Have I mentioned that their hash is incredible AND you can tell it is made fresh because it is always just a tad bit different from the last visit. I prefer the herb roasted potatoes but the hashbrowns are good too. I have never thought of adding avocado to my benedict (THANK U Josie, I will try that next time!) Their signature favorite, the stuffed french toast, each piece is unique, with more cream cheese here, more blueberry there and a pile of fresh fruit on top. I do like to suggest that you order a savory dish and a side of the french toast because it is very rich and can be overwhelming for some. Between my family, visiting family and myself, we've devoured most of the breakfast menu and some of the lunch. The food is consistently delicious - no complaints! Chef knows what he's doing back there. :) And it makes my happy tummy coming back for more more more!

    Great place to eat for breakfast or brunch. It's one of those "hole-in-the-wall" type of restaurants but inside it's very cute. The only downfall is the wait. However, the waiter will come outside and take your order so by the time you are seating, your food gets to your table within 5 minutes. Excellent service and reasonable prices. Meals range from $9-$12; I didn't see anything more expensive than $15.

    Went to Sweet E's Cafe for breakfast this morning! I've been here once and knew I had to take my breakfast-lovin honey to see what he thought of the place. ;) Cute, smaller joint near the top of Kapahulu (around the corner of Kapiolani, not towards the zoo). Limited parking in the lot but there's street parking around too. I've also seen it get pretty busy, but luckily for me, I've come both times right before the crowd sets in. One word of advice- they aren't so good about answering the phone. I was worried bf and I would be stuck in traffic too long, and was going to order takeout. Called three times, to no avail. I can understand, because they are busy lil bees there, but no answer, 3 different times within a half hour? Not loving that. :-/ Once you're inside, it's all peachy keen though! On point service with my water never coming close to empty. One waiter in particular is always smiling and friendly and I admit, his pretty blue eyes don't do anything but help his cause. ;) And when it comes to the food, it's fantastic. I've had the veggie eggs benedict, blueberry/cream cheese stuffed french toast, and their breakfast burrito with corned beef hash as my meat. Loved my benedict with the roasted potatoes- eggs weren't over cooked, didn't go to heavy on the sauce, and the english muffin wasn't soggy. Breakfast burrito was very big and pretty tasty, with potatoes, eggs, scallions, and more on the inside. Side of salsa was a nice touch as well. But tops was their french toast. Garnished with fresh fruit and powdered sugar, this was a huge hit, with the bf as well. He had ordered the kalua pork benny, but wasn't too dazzled because he said the pork taste took over so it was the main focus instead of it coming together as an eggs benedict dish. He also said it was a little salty. Good thing that french toast was there to wipe away his ever so slight disappointment. ;) Overall, I think this is a nice place to visit for breakfast when you have some time to spare. You'll leave very happy and very full!

    I discovered Sweet E's from a cousin and her husband, who know the owners of this hidden gem. I lived under a rock, unawares before then. If you're curious, there is a plethora of social media at hand. Yelp, Instagram, Facebook, etc. But they will never compare to the real thing. A few things to know before you go: Parking is scarce. Carpool. I would also recommend sending your person/people out to sign your name into the waiting list, while you go stall hunting. If you're lucky enough to find a parking in less than two minutes, consider yourself lucky! You've got awesome karma, my friend! After that, you may have to join your group in the waiting herd. There are usually two groups. One who get the benches near the doors -- they came early. And then theres the one standing across the restaurant, near the parking attendant. Say "Hi," and make small talk. Either way, get comfy, you may have to earn your breakfast, patience being the currency of payment. Once your name is called, prepare to be welcomed into the gates of BREAKFAST HEAVEN! The staff will probably ask you if it is your first visit. Listen to them, they know what they're talking about. Also, don't be shy, you'll WANT to try a few dishes, even if it IS just the two of you. They do give take-out containers for when your waistband can take no more. And that is all I have to say about THAT.

    Finally had a chance to try out Sweet E's after going to sleep at 12 on a Saturday night skipping out on the boozing and waking up early the next morning. I suggested to my good friend James G. we go and try out Sweet E's. Lucky for me, he had skipped out on the booze too - no hangover - no desire for pho (which always is the case with him) This cute little cafe is tucked in a side street right past Mr. Ojisan so unless you have your google map out it might be a little tricky to find. I dislike cream cheese. I never get it on bagels. Only butter. But I always make a cream cheese frosting when I bake carrot cake. Weird? Why you ask am I'm telling you this odd fact? Well, Sweet E's is famous for 2 items. Stuffed blueberry/cream cheese french toast & corned beef hash eggs benny's. I was craving a sweet breakfast so I decided to go with the french toast after interrogating the waiter about the cream cheese stuffed french toast. He reassured me that with the heat, the cream cheese melted and instead of overpowering the bread, just added a creaminess to it. I would agree with him. The maple syrup and the blueberries definitely helped add balance to the dish. I wish they had put more blueberries in though! yelp.com/user_local_phot… The winner of the meal had to be James' eggs bennys. I don't often order corned beef hash and usually like my eggs bennys with a standard canadian ham but the crispyness of the hash and the poached egg were the perfect combo and I commend Sweet E's for a bomb savory dish. Definitely getting this next time. Service was great, and the three waiters/waitresses did a good job holding down the fort. I'd advise going early or you might wait.

    Great service. Small space and the food is served pretty quick. Great food. Highly recommend the corn beef hash eggs Benedict. The french toast is light and delicious. I ordered a side of bacon and it could be a bit more crispy.

    This is the 3rd time to come to Sweet E's Café. I had a French Toast with Blueberry & Cream cheese today, it was the best French toast in Hawaii!! It's creamy and fluffy inside, melts in my mouth. I'm so glad I finally found a good place for French toast in Hawaii, because I had such a disappointment at Café Kaila. I like the interior design of Sweet E's Café, it's beachy and cute. However the scramble egg was little on the dry side, so minus 1 star.

    The first time I came here I was kinda "meh" about it. Second time around it has definitely improved (I guess it's just what you order?). First, my gripes. Service is a little disorganized. When we arrived, there were 3 open tables. They told us to write our names down and they'll call us very soon....20 minutes later, they call us in (btw, for anyone waiting outside, it's sunny and hot, and the security is pretty soup nazi over WHERE you stand so be warned). We sit, order, and then like 40 minutes later our food comes out. I heard the table next to me complain and apparently there's only one cook (or at least that's how it was that day). Needless to say I was bummed. BUT, then my food came out. HUGGGEEE and heavenly ooey gooey stuffed french toast with blueberries and cream cheese. So good, you are bound to do the happy belly dance! My friend ordered the veggie eggs benedict which was yum, but the real star of her dish was the crispy salty fried potatoes! very browned and delicious. After we were done eating though, we waited....and waited. I even took out my credit card and wallet to signify that we are done. lol. The waiter finally came and gave us our check. Total, I think our breakfast took about 1 hour and 45 minutes (including the wait time in the beginning). Which isn't too horrific, except for the fact that from the outside it was very unassuming. I mean, three empty tables inside, we're second on the list, guy says just a few minutes...you really don't expect a 20 minute wait, and then like a half our wait for food. So..Food...good. Service...nice but unnecessarily slow. At least if you wait an hour to get into Kaila, you get your food in like 15 min or less. You know? Overall, I'd definitely try this place again. Hopefully they're a lot faster most days and we just caught them on a bad one?

    Had a great experience at Sweet E's this morning and after about 6 visits, am ready to upgrade my review :) Consistency = Quality and Sweet E's has been extremely consistent! As busy as they are, they ALWAYS have had great service. They are quick, no-nonsense and there to get yo' belly full. I have tried a lot of the menu items (breakfast only, folks.... Emi H.'s review was a red flag on lunch options!) and each time I have been newly impressed. Today I had the veggie eggs benedict and was in sweet heaven with the copious amount of fresh spinach and diced tomatoes that came smothered in orgasmic hollandaise sauce (can you bottle this?!) with perfectly runny eggs. The potatoes are perfectly spiced and browned to perfection.... little vehicles to mop up egg yolk and hollandaise goodness. As always, the boyfriend's blueberry cream cheese french toast was a bite to die for.... and Greg G. thoroughly enjoyed his chicken pesto omelet! All three of us cleaned those plates and saved the dishwasher the job.... Bravo, Sweet E's, Bravo!

    I had to edit my review because the more I thought about it, I can't dock a star because a place is busy. That can't be helped... What am I, mad that they are so popular?? It seems that every time I come, it's always so busy! I mean, yes that tells you something about the food, and I'm glad they are making good business (well deserved!) but when I end up going during a busy time, service can be very minimal. For instance, it would take long to get a refill of water (camels like me drink a lot of water lol) or getting the bill. So sometimes it turns into a very long brunch and sometimes "ain't nobody got time for that!" Now that I got that off my chest, I can talk about the positives. The food is fantastic!! Yum yum in my tum tum. Their omelets and eggs Benedict's are awesome. The fried rice and potatoes are good (sometimes I wish I didn't have to choose between them.. Too bad I can't have both lol!).. The staff is also very friendly, good folks! I hear a lot about the stuffed French toast, from other Yelpers and friends. When I have time then I will definitely be back to try you!

    Sweet E's is a cute, charming little restaurant. I've seen here on Yelp how busy this place gets during breakfast hours so what better day to try it out than Super Bowl Sunday. We arrived just before 11am and I was wrong... There was still a wait, but we were seated within 20 minutes. We shared the Spinach Feta with toast & rice - $10.50, and the blueberry & cream cheese french toast - $8.95. The omelet was pretty good. The eggs were fluffy, folded on spinach, feta, tomatoes, & mushrooms. The combination was very tasty and because they didn't skimp out on any of the ingredients it was filling. The french toast was pretty good too, (3) slices of sweet bread, stuffed with cream cheese & lots of blueberries topped with powdered sugar. Only thing is it wasn't as sweet as it appeared to be. Note: This year I'm trying to start eating "healthier". The items above is a small step towards that goal considering I normally would have ordered something with bacon and something mounted with whip cream. Definitely recommend this place for breakfast. The portions aren't as big as you'd expect for the price though. Breakfast is served all day here, but their business hours are only from 7am - 3pm. There are only about (14) tables, so I could imagine our wait time would have been doubled if it were a regular Sunday. I didn't see a restroom, but across the parking lot there is one for each gender (key needed) next to the World of Feng Shui shop. If you're coming from the west side take the king street exit, pass Food land and make the right onto Kapahulu. Take your first right and you'll immediately see Kilohana square to your left. You can park in there (first left) or Sweet E's has there own separate lot which is the second driveway right after that.

    I love going to local places like this for brunch! It's a cute place tucked away in a forgotten corner of some random plaza. Parking is limited, so you most likely will have to search for street parking. The place gets packed very fast, so REMEMBER TO SIGN IN YOUR NAME FOR A TABLE as soon as you walk in! Also be warned, the surrounding business owners can be jerks (especially the flower shop next door) so do notttt stand around that area while waiting. The woman almost ran over us with her car because we were standing by her parking spot when she drove in! There are several signs that also warn you about these crazy business owners, so try not to get in their way. Food= Blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast- It's one of their more popular dishes, and I must say I'm a big fan of it! The creaminess of the cream cheese goes so well with the sweetness of the blueberries. The bread they use is so fluffy and filling, you will definitely leave feeling satisfied and full. Corned beef hash benedict with fried rice- Only in Hawaii can you get a side of fried rice for breakfast; I love it! The corned beef hash was wonderful, and the eggs were cooked just the way I like them...a little runny. The fried rice was great, and even had little bits of salty meat mixed in. POG- washed it down with some POG...passionfruit, orange, and guava juice. Yumm!

    This quaint and cozy "cafe" has the feel of an enclosed beach cottage. The large mirror at the far end of the cafe was an amazing choice of decor that really gives this tight space a more open feel. It is one of those places that is great to take a close friend or two to enjoy some comfort food and catch up. I definitely wouldn't recommend showing up with a large group for two reasons: the space is small and so are the tables and though there is parking available in Kilohana Square, the spaces are tight and limited. The food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the corned beef hash eggs benedict and split the much talked about blueberry cream cheese french toast with a friend. Honestly, I couldn't imagine a better combo. The eggs benedict was salty and the french toast was very sweet. Being that the french toast was so sweet I wouldn't order as a meal for myself, but I do recommend trying it (it was fabulously delicious). The corned beef hash eggs benedict was a bit on the salty side but their hollandaise helped to balance it out. Having it paired with the french toast was near to perfection. I ordered it with hash browns which were golden and crispy. They also had a little extra flavor that I couldn't put my finger on; perhaps shoyu.

    I think I might have found my new favorite breakfast/lunch spot to go with my girlfriends! :) Came here on a rainy Thursday morning to meet my friend and her 6 month old baby. The parking lot was full, so the nice parking attendant let me park on the street and he watched my car for me. When we got walked in, we got seated right away. Yay! The ambiance is cute and quaint. Very cute place to go for breakfast, lunch, a snack, or a cool drink with your favorite people. Lots of seating area - which is a plus! I ordered the Hawaiian Omlette - portugese sausage, green onion, cheese, tomato, onion - with potatoes and white toast. It was delicious. Your average omlette, but the size, preparation and taste was on point. We also shared the blueberry cream cheese french toast - YUM. It went perfectly well with maple syrup :) wished they had other flavors though cause I'm not a big fan of blueberries but its ok it was yummy. All in all, a very pleasant breakfast :) I will definitely be back sooner than I think!

    Breakfast here was lovely. We wanted to go to Cafe Kaila but the wait was 45 minutes long and we were hungry. So we tried our luck here since it's so close to Kaila and snagged one of the last open tables--thanks to the awesome Joanna L. for showing me the way here previously! We quickly settled on their All-American Omelette with herb roasted potatoes and Kalua Pork Eggs Benedict with hash brown. The food came out surprisingly fast--it must have taken only around ten minutes! Looking back, did we somehow give off an, "I am so hungry I could eat food off someone else's plate right now. Hmm that piece of French toast over yonder is looking mighty fine..." vibe?! If so, maybe we should work on perfecting that vibe if it means food will come out that quickly all the time! The omelette was stuffed with goodies--bacon, sausage, jalapeno, mushrooms, and cheese and was quite tasty. The eggs benedict was pretty good although I thought the sauce could have been more flavorful. Both the potatoes and the hash brown were delish but between the two, I would order the hash brown again and again. It's perfectly crispy on the edges and warm and soft in the center. I would come back just for that hash brown alone!

    As a child, my parents would always frequent Kilohana Square to shop at a small boutique antique shop on the weekends. Then as a college student, my high school buddy had a cousin who owned a sweet clothing boutique that sold some of my favorite beaded earrings. So when I had a chance to again stop in to the infamous Kilohana Square, I was so happy to realize as an adult, I found yet another endearing place in Sweet E's Cafe. Parking: Parking is very limited in the quaint Square. The next option is street parking Decor: Quaint and welcoming - feels like I stepped into a breakfast nook. Food: What I had: French Toast with fresh fruits - reminiscent of Grandma's recipe. Perfect balance of amazing bread and light egg. So perfect I could eat it all the time. Menu: a perfect balance of sweets and savory. The menu isn't overpowered with a million choices, which I love. Too many choices is not good for me. Wait Time: if you are lucky, it won't be long Service: There were two servers on the floor. They keep the food and beverages coming. Efficient and sweet. Something special: I noticed that the wait staff had a water pitcher outside of the Cafe for the patrons who were waiting for a table. These small acts of kindness keeps people coming back for more. Even if there IS a wait. Overall: Great place for a girlfriend brunch or a casual breakfast spot to welcome the weekend. The food is excellent and you will never be disappointed.

    We were looking for a place away for waikiki. Yelp led us to this little cafe which did not disappoint. All the reviews for the stuffed french toast are on point. It was moist yet crisp. We also got an omelette which was decent. I wish the toppings were mixed with the eggs, not just in the middle. But thats a personal preference. Great service! Free parking.

    Sweet E's Cafe is exactly what it sounds like. It's a sweet little spot tucked away in Kilohana Square, and it just feels like that perfect cozy and homey breakfast spot that you want to go to when you're awake and feeling chipper at 7:00 a.m. You don't want to come here all sloppy, unbathed, and still dressed in last night's party clothes. Save that shit for Liliha Bakery or Zippy's. I'd feel guilty coming to Sweet E's with a hang over because this place is so darn adorable and innocent-looking. After scoping out the other Yelp reviews, I decided on the Corned Beef Hash Benedict. It was a little on the salty side, but once the runny egg yolk and the hollandaise covered everything, it came out just right. The potatoes I ordered with it were nice as well, so I enjoyed this dish very much, as did my bf. He ordered the Corned Beef Hash Burrito, which was just alright and pretty much forgettable. He only ate half the burrito and ended up eating the rest of my benedict. We also tried a side order of the much raved-about Blueberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast, and though I don't really care for sweets at breakfast, the french toast was really, really good. It was definitely borderline overkill on sweetness, so sharing one piece worked out perfectly. Our food took a while to come out, which was understandable because the place was packed, but the servers were nice and friendly. Parking in Kilohana Square can be limited, so go early or be prepared to lurk in the lot for an open stall to appear.

    Aloha Hawaii! Finally made it to SEC last month while visiting home. My half brother took me here for breakfast. Of course me being the yelper and foodie I always like trying the popular items on the menu! I had the blueberry creme cheese stuffed french toast! Wow!!! Tasted amazing like it sounds! If you love sweet fattening breakfasts then this dish is calling your name! I'm a huge fan of french toast and a huge fan of blueberry creme cheese! So this had my name written all over it! Beware this can feed 2 people! My brother ordered the banana stuffed french toast and we both walked up stuffed with to go containers filled with our left overs! Small parking lot but parking is free! Indoor limited seating! Must try! Not sure if I'll come back though! Once is good enough for me. Aloha! Happy 2013! - Miss Yelp 2013

    A small, quaint place with such great food, great portions at great prices. I have been there a few times and have never been disappointed. There is normally a wait, anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes, but definitely worth the wait! They are known for their french toast stuffed with cream cheese with blueberries or bananas. The food comes out quite fast and the service is impeccable.

    My boyfriend and I LOVE.. and I mean LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE breakfast food. One of our favorite things to eat on Earth is an Egg's Benedict and it's amazingly perfs at Sweet E's. I love their corned beef hash Egg's Benedict with a side of fried rice. My bf loves the classic Egg's Benedict. The cafe is super cute and busy, just like Cafe Kaila. My bf and I have always gone on an off-time/day, such as a Monday morning so we don''t have to deal with a long wait time unlike the weekends. There's parking in the back and also meter parking in front of Mr. Ojisan. Just a fyi, it can get a little smokey inside so if you're on a cute date and want to go somewhere else, you'll end up smelling like food so leave a spray of your fave perfume in your car and squirt away after filling your belly with deliciousness.

    What a cute little cafe hidden away in Kilohana Square. You walk in and you feel like you've just stepped into someone's beach cottage. There's hipster music playing on an iPod dock. All over the walls, there are black and white photos of lots of smiling faces, young and old. I love the coral, starfish and sea shell accents everywhere. It's very charming. What we ordered: Kalua pork eggs benedict. The hash browns came out crispy, just how we like em. The eggs benny had perfectly poached eggs, a generous portion of kalua pork and a toasty english muffin. I really enjoyed this dish - a local spin on a classic dish. Blueberry stuffed french toast. At first I was afraid that this dish would be too sweet. The server said that the blueberry cream cheese filling was subtly sweet and not to worry. We took his advice and I'm glad we did! I loved the stuffed french toast. It was the perfect amount of sweetness. Delicious! I'm looking forward to the next time we go back!

    I've visited this place twice and twice I've been completely satisfied! The food here is spectacular, well priced, and well made. The service follows suit. It's a simple place behind Mr. Ojisan on Kapahulu ave, before Leonard's. The local male servers are always pleasant, friendly, and fast and I hear the owner was a former Starbucks barista (so was I). Kudos to her! The cafe features awesome Omelets, but my all time favorite is the banana cream cheese stuffed French toast. It's so decadent and sweet. The food always arrives hot, and fresh almost as if to say "this place is just for you." It's perfect for your breakfast date, or a simple brunch with an old pal. Definitely recommend this one to everyone :)

    Went here for breakfast around 8. There was no waiting, people starting coming in when we're leaving. Service was fast, got our food I would say about 10mins. Had the corn beef eggs benedict with fried rice, my sister had the traditional eggs benedict, we shared an order of stuffed blueberry French toast, and nephew had pancakes. Everything was good. French toast wasn't that sweet but I like it that way -no syrup. Need to go back and try the pesto chicken omelet.

    It's valentines day, so there was a bunch of couples (obviously) having brunch with their loves which is exactly what we were doing. :) We were second on the list so we had to wait about 7-10 min which wasn't bad at all. I like that when we were seated, the table already had cups of ice water, menus, etc waiting for us. It was decorated really simply and cute for Valentines day. My BF got the kalua pork omelette and I got a custom one which I highly recommend (cheese, pesto, tomato, and avocado). Both were great and I'm positive mine was better because that pesto is yummy! We both were full at reasonable prices and want to take a nap now. ;) At the end (it was close to closing), they gave their helium balloons to all the couples that were eating there-super nice, extra touch! Thanks Sweet-E's, you're a bunch of sweeties! :D

    This place is very cozy, I expected it to be busy, but when we got there we were immediately greeted and seated. From the Yelp photos, it looked like their popular dishes were the corned beef hash Benedict and French toast stuffed with blueberries and cream cheese. My husband and I ordered and shared those items. Thank goodness we did, because we left very full! The corned beef hash benedict was delicious@ the corned beef was crispy and the egg perfectly poached. There was a hint of Cajun spices, I think. It added a nice kick to the dish. I had fried rice with mines and my husband ordered roasted potatoes. The fried rice was ok, I had better. The roasted potatoes were well seasoned, better than the fried rice. The French toast is a diabatic's nightmare, but oh so good! The fresh fruit, was fresh! I'm not much of a French toast person, but I'd go back for this. The cream cheese stuffing wasn't too sweet, just the way I like it. Will definitely recommend this place to friends and family!

    Took my husband to eat here last week, exceptional service and food! We ordered the blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast but was brought the banana one. We were fine with that because we didn't want to wait for the order to get fixed. When it was time to pay, my husband wanted to make sure we didn't get charged more for the blueberry one since that's what the receipt showed we ordered. We explained to the guy that we were brought the banana one and with no hesitation told us to wait and he'll bring a blueberry french toast to go! Exceptional service! Love this place! Will definitely keep coming back here!

    This is just a review for take out efficiency! They were very efficient and gave the correct time of my order. We wanted to eat good brunch somewhere so I thought of Sweet E's. But we anticipated a line and we were hungry!! So we decided to do take out. When we got there the line was so long on Saturday around 10:30 am. I'm so glad we decided to do take out. I ordered the corned beef Hash Eggs Benedict. The take out was great, they even put the hollandaise sauce on the side in a small container so your food doesn't get soggy. The eggs weren't over cooked the yolk was still runny. The Food was excellent and they said we could pick up our food in 10 minutes, which is the amount of time it took us to drive there. Excellent take out service!!!

    Three of us went for breakfast this morning and it was a great experience :) We got a table right away and we each ordered popular dishes: blueberry cream cheese stuffed French toast with side order of herb potatoes, banana pancakes, fried rice, and the corned beef Benedict with hash browns. Everything was delicious, coffee was good, and the service was prompt and courteous. The servers today were 2 very 'local guys'... kinda unexpected but a nice change from the typical chick working through college. Don't let looks deceive you, they were great! The only downside is how small the dining room and parking lot are... I can see this place getting very busy but definitely worth the wait!

    My girlfriend and I came here on a weekday morning. I found this place through yelp a while back and wanted to try it. So here's my review: Parking: the restaurant is located in a small plaza. Parking is a bit small in size and numbers. Make sure you don't make in the 30 minute parking because I did haha. Service: once we found parking we enter the restaurant. It was our first time there, so I've assumed that someone would of wrote my name down but you have to do it yourself. A silly mistake by me. So I've wrote my name down, party of 2, and the waiter told me that they will call my name when our table is ready. So, we waited outside because there isn't a waiting room. I have to say that since it was around 9 in the morning, I was getting hot waiting outside. Maybe in the future they could provide like a little shade for some people. On the other hand this is hawaii so why not enjoy the sun. Or just find a spot where the building provides shade from the sun haha. We got seated kinda fast, ~15 minutes. Our waiter was okay. The table was set and clean, he came by to take our order, then came by again to give our check. He did his job but a little small talk would of been nice. Food: we ordered the blueberries and cream filled French toast, kalua pig eggs Benedict, and the chicken pesto omelette. It was good! It's a big portion so I would recommend sharing it if you have a small stomach. Overall 4 out of 5 stars. If your looking for a heavy and good breakfast and your in town, I would recommend this place.

  • Jai K.

    I was all smiles! Didn't expect parking to be so tight. But love the flow and the food here. The wait was decent just enjoy 10min. The layout and the interior design felt like I was in a model home. Very clean and simple. The food filed me up, the waiters all pitched in. Their system of waitering works out for them and everyone eating. I got their Hawaiian style omelet and my fiance got the extraordinary mess. Portions are more than enough to get full. We also ordered the French Toast stuffed with blueberries and cream cheese, and I thought I fill off my regular plate. Once i started eating on the French toast, my stomach got hungry again! The whole time I was eating the French Toast, I was smiling with my mouth full! !!!

    Yelp 365 Challenge x 2 #168/365 I love breakfast especially because its the most important meal of the day. I love my Yelp app because it shows me the places that are highly rated indicating I should try the restaurant. Sweet E's Cafe was one of the breakfast cafe's that popped up on my radar when I yelped for a breakfast cafe around the Kapahulu area because I was not in the mood for Zippy's, Denny's or Mac 24/7! I wanted to try something new with my hubby who is game for anything when he knows I am looking on Yelp. The cafe was easy to find and we found parking in the little lot behind the cafe. We were early enough to snag a table. We read the menu and we both knew what we were going to inhale. Dan: Extreme Mess (a big ole plate of everything and anything-eggs, breakfast meats, potatoes, etc) Me: Elegant Waffles with a side of bacon *oink, oink* ~The Experience~ Ambiance: Very North Shore / The Descendants feel to the overall atmosphere. I love the navy blues, whites, shells decor. Service: Either they have an all male staff or the chicas were off that day Food: Not bad-it was pretty good. The only thing I had an issue with is the coffee... It was lukewarm! Hopefully they will fix that. Price: Reasonable Recommend: Yes!!!

  • Amanda L.

    Really yummy meal for our whole family. We arrived right after they had filled every table the first time, so we knew we had a bit of a wait for the tables to turn. A few minutes later, the server came out with a menu. He returned after a bit to take our order even before we sat down. I thought it was odd at first, but when our table was ready, the beverages were delivered as we sat down, and the food wasn't long after that. It was amazing how prompt is was without feeling rushed. Pancakes, omelette, burrito, and eggs benedict, and all were super ono.

  • Kristin T.

    Love everything about this place - the staff is always attentive and super nice, and the food is amazing! My favorite is the corn beef Benedict and the banana french toast. But the absolute best is the corn beef loco moco - it's a special so they don't have it all the time. Only down side is the wait but to me it's worth it!

    Went here with some friends on a whim. We were relatively early on a Thursday morning (around 8:30 am) so we got seated right away. ***by the time we were done, there was a line outside*** The service was fast and efficient, and the waiter was easy on the eyes, so that helped. My friend and I ordered the corned beef hash eggs Benedict and the blueberry cream cheese stuffed French toast. We figured we could half each plate and get a taste of both items. Both items were nicely presented. The stuffed French toast had a light crisp on the outside and the filling wasn't overly sweet. I didn't need syrup. My friend put some on hers. As far as the corn beef hash eggs benny, I wished I hadn't offered to half it. It was that good. I wanted to eat the whole thing myself! Because we were early on a weekday, we didn't have to wait, but I would be willing to stand in line to eat there again.

    Yummmm! Really great breakfast/brunch place. Loved the Kalua Pig eggs benedict and the cream cheese blueberry french toast. Service was great, too. Our server actually forgot to bring out our blueberry french toast that we all planned to share, but after attempting to finish our huge platefuls of food, we were hoping that she had forgotten about the french toast, b/c we were sooo super stuffed. Once she realized she forgot to bring out our french toast, she offered to bring it out to us free of charge, and insisted that we could just try it and bring the rest home if we wanted. At that point, we decided we couldn't refuse, and we were glad that we didn't. The blueberry french toast was AMAZING, and I usually don't like eating stuff with cream cheese. But this was exquisite! The reason that I didn't give this place 5 stars is that there's no space to wait while you are waiting to be seated. You have to resort to standing outside in the sun, and when you try to stand out under the shade in front of the neighboring stores, you get in trouble from the security guard patrolling the lot, and he tells you that you're not allowed to stand in front of the other stores, or in the walkway. During the 30 minutes that we waited for our table, I watched him repeat over 5 times to different people (and a few more times to the same people) that they can't stand under the shade in front of the other stores. Yeah, I get that we're blocking the front of the other stores, but these stores weren't even open at this time so i didn't get what the big deal was. Anyway, after being yelled at by this guy, my friends and I just ended up standing in the sun in front of the cafe, and we'd take turns going into the restaurant refilling our cups of water and to embrace the A/C for a quick moment. I'm sure the servers weren't happy about us walking in and out, but I'm sorry, it's not my fault there's no waiting area and it's freaking scorching hot and humid outside and I'm still recovering from a hangover from the night before. =/ Okay, maybe it's my fault that I'm hungover, but I was dehydrated and was in need of water!

  • Alyce R.

    The only reason this place does not get a 5-star review was due to the wait time we had before being seated. It was a normal hot Hawaii day and their was no shade outside to wait under. Thank goodness for the nearby shops that we could look around in while we waited for our name. The service was amazing. Was refreshing to see all the wait staff helping each other out. The food was excellent. I recommend the Kalua Pig Benedict. The atmosphere of the place was small but refreshing. Will definitely be going back.

    Suprisingly, in a good way, there were no lines when we came in around 9:30 am. Inside was quite filled already. It had a more contemporary feel with the whole black and white color scheme (compared to the more slum atmosphere nearby). We got the thick waffle with extra fruits and i got the french toast stuffed with blueberry cream cheese. It was an interesting combination, as i normally dont eat my french toast w cream cheese, but it was a 'good' interesting, as my palate was accepting the sweet and tartiness and i mean c'mon, BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE is all it takes for me to want to try it. Servers were all male and young and seem to have that frat-boy demeanor to them, so more of the 'im-cool-boy' service rather than the 'we-want-to-professionally-serve-you'. Not saying they were mean or rude, just a little more laidback. Its a big portion as i only finished one toast from the three (the heavy stuffing fills you up quicker than you think for breakfast!). We both enjoyed our dishes and would like to return.

  • Alden E.

    Long wait about 40mins and another 13mins before food arrives but so worth it. We had blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast with fresh fruit topping and kailua pork eggs benedict with hash brown and side of fried rice. Soooo good best breakfast I had in a while. Great server and service! Refilled coffee and water two times ^.^

  • Jenna S.

    The food here is good (large portions) but it wasn't awesome. The one thing I did like was the kalua pork - it had lots of smokey flavor and it was cooked perfectly, but nothing else stood out. What really put me off was that they ran out of fried rice and it was only 11am (on a Monday)! Also this place is very small so the wait can be long. Not to mention the parking situation is horrible, if you have a large car be careful. It's tucked away in a strange small shopping plaza at the top of Kaimuki. I suggest if you see a lot of people waiting around just skip this place. I personally didn't think it was worth the hassle, although I'm glad I got to try this place out. There are tons of other great breakfast joints in the area.

    Parking was tight n they are pretty busy but well worth it....the service was great!! There was 4 of us n we waited outside for a table along with everyone else that came after us n one of the servers came out apologized for the wait n gave us menus so we could order when we got seated. It is little things like that that makes a huge difference also the food was Onolicious!!!!! Definitely going back on our next visit!!

    Shall I add my two cents to the 500+ reviews of this place? I guess... Tucked away in the Kilohana square in the beginning of Kapahulu ave is a small brunch shop that bustles with long lines, locals and of course GOOD FOOD! Parking is definitely an issue, although we went on a Tuesday AM with no problem finding parking but I can imagine how weekends can be (yikes!) There are securitas that will scold u for parking in wrong areas, park in the back lot but beware if you have a big car like I do, and be it told that other customers may dent/ding ur car doors =( Wait can be pretty excruciating in the hot sun, especially when you can't stand in front of the shaded little florist shop, or block the stairwell. Pretty much the securitas tell u that u need to wait (in pain) in the sun. There's no other way around it. FOOD & PRESENTATION: This is where the fight with parking and the sun comes worth it! I always get the famous blueberry creamcheese French toast OMG but the pancakes are pretty decent as well. Chicken pesto omelette is pretty okay (different) but I love the eggs benny! My mom loved the spinach feta omelette it was pretty awesome! I love how they make roasted potatos as an option for side! It's such a nice change from hash, rice or pancake! But oh the variety! Overall, food is super yummy and I am definitely a fan.

    Typical breakfast with variety. no 5 stars because it's like a tourist attraction like Cafe Kaila. It's unfortunate and I don't blame the company just the wait kinda sucks. The food is good, service was nice and I appreciated the "local" environment because it makes you feel more welcome if you know what I mean. If you never ate here give it a try. There's a good menu for everyone!

    Awesome breakfast place. Good food, good service. Ate here two days in a row- day 1 i ordered the Kalua pork eggs benedict and day 2 I ordered the Kalua pork croissant. Sense a theme?

    I tried the eggs benedict with corned beef hash, Hawaiian Omelet without spam (lol, I'm not too fond of spam but love Portuguese sausage) and French toast. I recommend the delicious French toast with Blueberries and Cream Cheese ... It's sweet enough, syrup not required but a little adds a nice texture!!! Timing is everything... We had a 10min wait at 8:00am, but the line gets long... as we found out leaving after breakfast. The wait help staff were very helpful and consistent! They were very attentive and our cups, coffee and water, were never empty! I definitely would come back and try other items on the menu.

    We came by on a weekday morning when they just opened so there was no wait. We had the corned beef hash eggs benedict ($12.95) and the blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast with extra fruit ($8.95+$1.50), which was additional strawberries and bananas. The stuffed french toast was good and I would definitely recommend this dish. The eggs benedict was just ok and nothing particularly special. The restaurant itself is very cute and service is good. The restaurant is in a small plaza with parking available.

    Great place for breakfast with the family or friends. Once I discovered it, I came here twice within a week. As all the other Yelpers say, you gotta try the blueberry French toast and the "Big Mess". There's almost always a wait, even on weekdays. But service is fast and the line moves quickly. This is my new favorite breakfast dig!

    Best breakfast food on this side of the Mississippi. The service is what you'd expect from a local company....on point. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because of the difficult parking lot; however the food is good enough that it's worth it.

    Everything was delicious! Ordered the pork hash Benedict and I was not disappointed. The portion was perfect considering I'm a hefty eater. The spices were all there, salt, pepper, everything. The potatoes served with it was cooked all the way and was drowning in flavor. I couldn't have been more happier choosing this place over Kalia cafe.

    Great local aloha feel. Great, consistently delicious food. The staff greet you with a warm hello no matter how busy it is. And they get busy! There are a couple of other breakfast places near Sweet E's, but none that are as good overall. Food is always spot on and quick to your table. Coffee is tasty. You can tell that they count freshness as a priority. Overall, Sweet E's is definitely my go to in the morning!

  • MJ J.

    WOW! One of the best places we've eaten at on our trip so far! The blueberry pancakes don't even need butter! The omelets are divine and my friend says the breakfast burrito was a big thumbs up. I'm here in a group of 12 and it's a fairly small place so it took a bit to get inside, but they came out and took our order and we got our food almost immediately. With two young kids with us, we were a little concerned about food options for them but they loved the pancakes. There are plenty of options food wise but not so many that you feel overwhelmed. It's a little hole-in-the-wall looking on the outside but the inside is home-y and clean. Will definitely come back next time I'm on the island.

    First of all, I would like to say that I LOVE Sweet E's Cafe. It's amazing. However, today I went there for a late breakfast and for the THIRD TIME, they closed over an hour early!! Great food, but what kind of business closes early? That's lazy and terrible service. I'm incredible disappointed. Either change your hours or stick it out for the extra hour to do you job.

  • Janet M.

    Love this place! Classic breakfast items using local food favorites. I had the corn beef hash with eggs over easy and fried rice. Totally tasty corn beef was perfectly done. A little crisp around the edges and not mushy. Fried rice was perfect as well. Not salty and not too many competing ingredients. The folks next to our table had the stuffed French toast with blueberry cream cheese and it looked really delicious. My friend had the Hawaiian omelet with spam, Portuguese sausage, onions and cheese and it was really yummy too! Can't go wrong with anything here!

    I've come here now twice. It's kinda out of the way and absolutely terrible parking, but did you come here for breakfast or good parking?? Had the eggs Benedict and was surprised how good it was. Not the typically hawaii style breakfast. Great for when you have family in town or have that special someone you want to go out to brunch with.

    I really enjoy eating at breakfast cafes, and Sweet E's Cafe is by far my favorite. The restaurant is pretty small, and the parking lot is pretty tight. Despite that, the prices are inexpensive and the items are very delicious. I ordered the Blueberry Cream Cheese French toast, and it was as if I got a little taste of Heaven. To top this item off, there was fruits on top of it as well. The portions are big, and very tasty.

    I looooove this place. If you're into hole-in-the-wall gems, you definitely have to try Sweet E's. If not, you should start getting into hole-in-the-wall gems. The vibe is very cozy, almost like going to a relatives house if your relatives happen to be awesome cooks. The last two times I went I had the waffles and Kalua pork eggs Benny, both were amazing. So amazing that I ordered another to go and took it with me. Parking is a little tight, but definitely worth driving around the block a few times. The food is great and surprisingly fast considering the great quality...I'm definitely planning on going weekly.

    Amazing place to get Breakfast or Brunch! The french toast is a must try. Great service, amazing food, and good times. I always get the turkey pesto sandwich and a side order of french toast. Once you have the french toast, you can't go without it. I had to break my grandma's heart and tell her that I found better french toast than hers. I'm buying her a ticket out here to make it up to her and treating her to Sweet E's. I still love you Nanny!

    I was a piggy while I was here. I ordered the blueberry french toast and the kalua pig eggs benedict. It was a cozy little place, however the parking was pretty small and the restaraunt itself was tight. We had a party of 5 and it was a squished with them just adding a chair to the end of a 4 person table. The wait for the food was pretty long, however with our group talking about random stuff, it was not that bad. There are pictures all over the walls of a girl with different people. I am assuming the owner? It was overall okay. The blueberry french toast was pretty bomb though with the cream cheese.

    Came on a Saturday at around 10am, the wait was actually not bad it was about 15mins. The place is small and cute but it felt a little tight when eating. There's parking in the back but tends to get packed. Our server was really great, very attentive, we ordered the BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE STUFFED FRENCH TOAST it was soooo good!!!! But really filling... But so good... I also had the EGGS BENEDICT, they were good. I will definitely come here again!!! It's the perfect breakfast place!

    This place is great! There aren't many QUALITY places to eat breakfast on Oahu that offer food beyond your typical Zippys-style portuguese, eggs, and rice and the occasional pancake. Sweet E's has a good vibe, good ambiance, and terrific blueberry cream cheese-stuffed french toast! The parking lot is tight, the restaurant is not very big (though it doesn't feel cramped due to the floor-to-wall mirror), and there will be a wait (you can shop at nearby stores while you wait). But, I think I've finally found a solid breakfast place when I've tired of bacon and eggs.

    I love a good brunch place and with a little help from the Yelp App we decided on Sweet E's Cafe. The place is a bit small but has cute decor and the atmosphere overall is friendly and inviting. We shared the corned beef eggs benedict with hashbrowns and the blueberry french toast and both dishes were YUMMY. The eggs were poached perfectly and the blueberry french toast wasn't overly sweet. They were a perfect match to have together. The only draw backs about the place was the wait on our food and how noisy the place can be when the place is packed. However I would still recommended this place to friends to try.

    Finally got to come here Saturday morning after seeing crowds outside of this place everytime I pass. And I have to say -- I was impressed! I had the blueberry cream cheese stuffed sweet bread french toast. Holy crap. A heart attack but delicious. I think I liked my wife's better though, she had the hash eggs benedict.... I was about to steal it from her but mine was so damn good. You have to wait a while to get a table and they don't have seating for you outside, but what are you gonna do? You want something good, you gotta wait for it.

    My husband brought us here while stuck in APEC traffic kind of like we were seeking refuge and I'd like to say this was the only upside to my shitty APEC week. My husband, baby and I demolished 3 plates..Breakfast Burritto, Kalua pig and Tuna Melt. It was all sooo good and so worth the wait. Coffee is good too I just wish they had lattes in the near future. I blogged about Sweet E's and too lazy to upload the pics on yelp.http://pheandme.blogspot.com/#!/2011/11/­sweet-es-cafe.html

    It is a little small so its not great for large parties. But the food was ptetty good. We had their stuffed blueberry and cream cheese French toast which would have been really good if they used fresh instead of previously frozen blueberries which wasn't terrible but it was noticeable.

    My friend told me to go here after a 5k race because they had healthy options as well as a variety of different foods. I really liked the place! It was cute, and the food tasted fresh. The downfall is that there are only about 10 tables. I came again and had to wait about 25 minutes for a table of 3 ): I guess it's all about timing with this place!

    Mom took me here on a Tuesday afternoon so it wasn't busy at all. The waitress was very friendly and quick to take our orders. We got the cream cheese french toast and the chicken pesto omelette. Both were amazing and came out rather quickly. The french toast was perfectly cooked, not soggy and not overpowering in sweetness. I didn't even need syrup. The serving size is large and we got it topped with fresh fruit. Yum! The chicken pesto was amazing as well and had just the right amount of chicken in it. We got herb roasted potatoes on the side, which were tasty as well. Definitely would go back again! Only thing is parking looks tight if the area gets busy.

  • Helen K.

    Went here after seeing this restaurant listed as a new business and from the great reviews I decided to give it a try for brunch. Food was good, but nothing spectacular. Reviews for the chicken pest omelette seemed high so I decided to order this. I was a bit disappointed --- not much chicken or pesto, but alot of cheese :( Boyfriend ordered the breakfast mess which is basically just every breakfast item imaginable made into an omelette. Big portions. Cute little place, awesome service. perhaps I ordered the wrong thing and might need to come back...

    I can't believe Sweet E's and Cafe Kaila both have 4 stars! Sweet E's is cheaper, better atmosphere, and the food is on a different level! Nothing against Cafe Kaila... They're OK.... I think the only reason people go to Cafe Kaila is because they don't know about Sweet E's. Nuff said.

  • mia o.

    Very satisfactory. Food was delicious. Very friendly service. Inside atmosphere reminded me of a very famous breakfast place by the central park in NY. Also, there were some tables that single persons were seated for their breakfast. You can go to this place alone even if there is nobody available when you are hungry. (I am worried my husband may just hop on the car and disappear while I am still in bed) Pancake was awesome. So as the Egg dishes. I HAVE TO go back and try the other stuff like LocoMoco, it was the special of the day, a guy next to me was eating this, and looked really good. Good place for girls to enjoy late breakfast.

  • Linda M.

    Sunday breakfast...was disappointing. Portions are tiny for $10 a plate. Mess & Make your own omlet were decent Waffle was a single piece with a tiny portion of whipped cream and 1/2 a strawberry Banana stuffed french toast was almost inedible...cold with over ripe banana mash in the center. (*cry...I love french toast was soooo sad that I had to give up after 1 piece) Left hungry and out $60 (5 people).

  • Chyanne O.

    absolutely wonderful!! went there early saturday morning, some lines but nothing bad. we got sat approximately 15 minutes later. i had the kalua pork benedict with hash browns and my bf had the regular benedict with fried rice. both were perfectly cooked with the delicious sauce and poached egg. although i was so full from the plate, i wanted more!! that place is so addicting. there's something in that food :) the only con is the bathroom outside and the limited parking. servers are very friendly. i hope the tourists don't invade this place soon...!!!!

  • Double K.

    Discovered this place on Yelp and couldn't wait to try it. We're so excited to have another decent breakfast option. Sunday morning at about 10:45am we were seated right away, no wait, and plenty parking. Service was friendly and efficient. As an avid coffee drinker I was disappointed with my morning cup 'o Joe. I ended up using the majority of the crème, interesting container choice, and still finished only half my cup. We HAD to order the Blueberry Cream cheese stuffed French Toast and ... It was good, not bad, different ... the GF picked out all the Blueberries and didn't eat them. I love French Toast and will try it plain next time. We also ordered the spinach feta omelet which we both agreed it was delicious. The sides could use some enhancement ... the potatoes were kinda plain and bland, and the bread barely toasted. One Coffee, French Toast, and an Omelet with mediocre sides ... $23 bucks. The atmosphere is a little cozy, and it did get a little loud at times. Overall, it's nice to have more options and we will be back!

    Just good not the best and a long wait as the tv show "cheap eats" was on twice this week about them. Waffles good but not crispy. Food very good otherwise. Service is fine. They do take credit cards- no Amex. Short lunch list so will have to come back during the week.

  • airess p.

    Thirty minute wait in a grungy parking lot, in the hot sun was not how I wanted to spend my Sunday Morning. However, Sweet E's had been featured on the news "Cheap Eats" section and the french toast with fresh fruit topping looked to die for. Inside I was pleasantly surprised at how they managed to make the small eatery feel spacious and bright. I loved the white walls, the crisp photo decor, and the comfy chairs. Everything on the menu looked so good. And I ended up with the chicken pesto omelet. It was a unique combination of diced chicken, spinach, mozzarella, tomatoes and pesto. Served with pan fried potatoes and sourdough toast. Yum!!! My friends were a little put off by the slow service and overcooked waffles, but I will definitely be going back soon --- I still have to try the stuffed french toast topped with blueberries.

    Enjoyed a great breakfast this morning, tried the "Breakfast Sandwich" for the first time. Choice of bread with fresh spinach, tomato, egg (done your way) and choice of meat. I picked the corned beef hash and scrambled egg - fantastic. Great way to start our morning, good food and excellant service. Thank you Sarah and Ethel

  • Henry L.

    Arrived at 9:00, place was half empty, three tables already eating, one table of six who just sat down and our table of four. So there was only the table of six ahead of us. Seated quickly, got water and coffee and ordered. Everything good to this point, BUT the food did not come out for the next FORTY FIVE minutes! The table of six got their food and were finished by the time our food came out. But then, HOLY MOLY, the food was FANTASTIC!!! Fluffy omelettes, slamming stuffed french toast, and really great coffee. I noticed the genius in putting saltier ham with my usually bland kahlua pork! The server said they were only open for two months and still working out the kinks. Okay, I respect the new business bumps, and all I can say is that if they can work out the kitchen expediting, they are going to do really well. This is the BEST breakfast in Honolulu so far!!! Best wishes Sweet E's Cafe! I hope you are slamming when I come back next year!!

    Cute, CUTE cafe! I've been wanting to try Sweet E's for a looong time, pretty much since it opened. I finally got to go, and I am happy to report that it did not disappoint. Great food, friendly service, great ambience. It was a great way to start my day. I'm always on the hunt for a great cornbeef hash and Sweet E's delivers a great CRISPY hash which is just the way I like it. Old Pancake House is still makes my favorite cornbeef hash, but Sweet E's is almost just as good. The cute ambiance evens it out. Located in Kilohana Square, parking can be tight, but I went on a weekday around 8:30 and there were still a few parking stalls left. If you don't want to wait in uber long lines at Cafe Kaila, then Sweet E's is a great alternative and just as good IMO.

    WOW a fantastic place.. the best food the best wait staff... The best all around place. Homey and friendly this café is totally worth the search. We went around the block once before the back seat spotted the restaurant. From Cali.. we lucked into an old news story about this café and gave it a shot and we were so happy we did it! The stuffed French toast was awesome, I had the kaula pig omelet.. to die for. My husband had an omelet as well and ate everything on his plate.. that was a new one.. our friends had eggs benedict over corned beef hash.. they licked the plate as well. You should go!!

    Best breakfast on Oahu? I think YES. And I've had my fair share. Usually I visit a place twice before I can make any final judgements and Sweet E's pretty much just knocked dat sukka out the ball park. We came here this past weekend on Memorial Day, expecting it to be super packed. It was busy and there was five of us, luckily the wait wasn't super long. After about 15-20 mins., we finally got our table and I already knew what to order. I got the Kalua Pig Eggs Benedict and of course the Stuffed Blueberry Cream Cheese French Toast. My homie got the Hot Mess (which I need to get next time!), and everyone else got an assortment of the eggs benedict. Man I love pork. Hey did I mention how much I love pork? The Kalua Pig Eggs Benedict is a dream come true. The Hollaindaise sauce was perfection, and when I put my fork in the eggs they jizzed out egg yolk (sorry oozed) all over my english muffins. Seriously, eating here is just straight up food porn dirty talk. It was tasty and filling, served with herb-roasted potatoes. You can also get fried rice, white rice or hash browns. Last time we got the french toast with fruits and they're not kidding when they say it comes with a whole Cornucopia of fruits. Okay, over exaggerating but I knew for next time to just settle for the cute serving of fruits that it already comes with. The coffee is so good. Pretty sure it was 100% Kona because I was talking everybody's ears off. The service is on point, they'll always come by and check up on you and see if you need refills. I almost wish I lived in town just so I could eat here. Love u Sweet E's

    My favorite breakfast spot by far! I give it five stars even with the 20 minute wait. The staff is so friendly that you don't even mind waiting outside. As soon as you walk on you feel like your part of the family. We had the traditional French toast and the corn beef hash eggs Benedict... Sure wish we took pictures. I recommend this place to everyone!!!!!

    Three words.......WORTH THE WAIT. We waited about 35 mins before got seated. It had a nice home feel. Beautiful ambiance, we shared the stuffed blueberry cream cheese stuffing, couldn't finish it. Took it home. I had the chicken pesto omelet not rubbery or overly drench with cheese sauce or anything. Plus it came with a side toast. Our server was nice and smiled through this busy hot Sunday. Definitely going to back to try more.

  • Kiyomi C.

    Just discovered this place today for breakfast! What a gem! Friendly waitstaff, delicious fresh food, and a super cute atmosphere. I had the kalua omelette - which I have to say is probably more accurately named a pork omelette- there was more ham then kalua- but that's ok, it was tasty! Everything on their menu looks good and I hope to come back!

  • Sharon G.

    After hiking the Diamond Head trail, My friends and I decided to eat here for brunch. I ordered the spinach, feta and garlic omelette. My dish was delicious and it was very filling. The parking was terrible. We were lucky enough to get the last stall, but it was very tight. The service was good, not great. The server was friendly and nice, but it took awhile for our dishes and we had to ask for refills on our drinks multiple times. Overall, a good restaurant for brunch if you don't care about parking and have time to wait :)

    Sweet E's is an amazing place to relax and get a quiet simple cafe experience with friendly faces everywhere. I love the stuffed French Toast and the Kalua pig omelet is to die for. I refer all my friends to this gem every chance I get and when to go there. This is seriously a special little spot!

  • Eric B.

    The food was pretty good. I had an omelet full of goodies. The food took almost 30 minutes to arrive, however. We also had to wait about 15 minutes in the parking lot to get a table which was a bit uncomfortable.

  • Madz B.

    My friends and I came here while we were on vacation about five times. The corned beef hash eggs Benedict are bomb. Although a little rich i would probably get only a half order next time. The banana stuffed French toast is sooooo good and the 2 eggs classic breakfast are my favorite. The hashbrowns are on point. Also a big fan of the fried rice. The servers are all super nice and also handsome! This is a good classic breakfast spot if you are looking for a delicious breakfast. 5 stars and I will most definitely be returning when I come back to hawaii in 2 months :)

    Seating is a little tight but the pictures of friends and family members on the wall make you feel like you're eating at a friends house instead of an elegant, BG, shabby chic restaurant. Great food and good flow allow for the natural light to shine through. Food is amazing! I highly suggest you go with whatever they recommend!

  • Lika G.

    The place is small and cute friendly efficent staff but the food was just alright. I had the corned beef eggs Benedict and the stuffed blueberry french toast was not all that. The regular eggs Benedict and the lox and bagels were good. Didn't care for for the fried rice either tasted plain.

    Love the atmosphere in the place, very cozy. Although it was packed we were very well attended to. A waiter came out and took our order before we even had our table! This was great because once we were sat it took maybe 5 minutes to receive our food. I had the chicken pesto omelet, seriously mouth watering. Great food, great service great reasons to come back

    Unreal! A little hard to find but once you do OH MY!!! What you will find is a small family owned place tucked in among various other business's. THE BEST french toast you will ever eat.... bluberries and cream cheese stuffed french toast. Mahalo!!

  • Tracy K.

    Soooo good. I can't recommend this breakfast place enough. My friend introduced me to this joint about two months ago and I've been hooked eating here every week since. It doesn't matter what you try, it's all tasty. Hearty, savory, yummy. And the signs are true to the ambience. Full opus, laughs, friends, etc are all part of this restaurant's appeal... You won't be disappointed

  • Jim M.

    I had heard about Sweet E's Cafe but continued to go wait in line at Cafe Kaila before I finally tried this place. I was not quite sure if the food was as delicious as I thought, so I had to go back a few times before I did a review. :-) And, I think I'll have to go back a few more times. This place is excellent! I have tried 2 different types of omelets, the blueberry french toast, and pancakes. Pros: The food is great. The service is good. The coffee was good, hot, and plentiful. After 3 visits, I have not found anything on the menu that I did not like. Cons: Parking can be tough sometimes and there can be a wait as more people tourists and locals find out about Sweet E's. The room is also a bit noisy when it is full.

    (4)

  • Justin C.

    Parking is one of the things you have to just get lucky with...Stalls are always filled for the various shops around the area, but if you find you count yourself lucky.. The decor inside is very well done. It really makes you feel like you stepped into a grand ol dinning room. You just want to take a minute to look around at everything before getting to your seat.. The food is pretty good.. although there is nothing very distinctive about it.. The omelets and pancakes were okay, but there was just something missing from it.

  • Kim N.

    This is a cute little mom and pop type place. :D They have awesome service and great homemade food!! I had the best hash browns here. The thin layer of potatoes were perfectly crisp and not over cooked! Me and my family enjoyed our breakfast!! We will definitely be back when we visit Honolulu!! Fresh fruit on everything!! Even the juices taste fresh squeezed!!

    Sweet E's is still on point for service, smiles and food quality. It's been a while since we came here and I was worried that it might've been discovered by the masses which would make it nearly impossible to be seated. Well it was still busy yesterday but we were accommodated easily and promptly. The food was delicious as always. The waitstaff busts their butts and hustle to get everyone served. I appreciate the little things like water being filled, offering take out boxes without being asked and just generally checking on their customers. Thank you again Sweet E's!!!!

    French toast stuffed with blueberry cream cheese. This is all I need, I mean it's amazing!! The place is tucked behind this pet store right across from panda travel. I personally think that this is the best cafe in honolulu (: if it were possible I would rate this place a million stars!

  • Crystal W.

    So I ended up trying this place with a friend after we discovered Kiss my Grits down the street closed for some strange reason. Anyway, I saw all the great reviews on this place and decided to give it a shot. I gotta say I fell in love immediately. We got there a little after 9am and they were definitely bustling already but we made it before the huge crowds of people showed up on a Sunday morning. After putting our names on the list it was maybe a 10-15min wait so not too bad at all. People were constantly flowing in and out. At first i wasn't sure where to give my name but there is a yellow pad just inside at a table where you write your own name and the guys come out and call names as the tables are ready. Parking was decent. I was just happy to see they had their own parking lot which is in the back and signs are posted for Sweet E's cafe parking. There was a really nice security guard working in the shopping center who was very friendly and nice. He proceeded to tell us when we were standing around that basically none of the shops allowed you to stand within 20ft of their storefronts which means you end up standing in the middle of the street haha or directly in front of the cafe where they have one small bench to sit. It was a little odd but we dealt with it, besides he was very nice about it and ended up giving us a grand review of the place and a few of his personal suggestions. Also, he did point out that there were some umbrellas available by the door that customers can use to shield themselves from the sun since there wasn't much shade anywhere. Once we got called inside, the rest of the experience was very pleasant. Staff very friendly! The cafe itself is very cute and quaint. It is definitely small so I wouldn't come here with a large group of people, mainly 2-3. Four people max. I got the banana stuffed French toast topped with strawberries and if was delicious. They give you a nice big portion too so I had leftovers for later. I also got a side of eggs and bacon which was pretty good, nothing special. My friend got the "everything breakfast" I think it was called and that was quite a bit of food too and he seemed to really enjoy it. Coffee was good too! The prices were decent too. I think they were fair for the food. This is a great choice for breakfast/brunch with a friend or two or even a date :) I plan to go back next weekend and try something else on the menu. I can't wait :)

    We went here after a Sunday morning hike, waited for about 45 min for a party of 8. It was well worth it. Service is excellent and kid friendly as we had 4 little ones with us. We ordered the corn beef eggs benedict, Hawaiian omelet, and blueberry and cream cheese stuffed french toast. Everything that we ordered was awesome! I highly recommend eating here and try everything especially their french toast. We will definitely be back here.

  • Adrienne A.

    Came on a Monday morning (around 10 am), so there was no wait. I was greeted and seated immediately by a server who gave us water, and cleaned down the high chair (for my daughter). I had the spinach and tomato eggs Benedict, and tasted their blueberry cream cheese stuffed French toast. The eggs Benedict was good with yummy roasted potatoes. The French toast was amazing! Service was awesome! It's a cute little cafe to have breakfast or brunch. It's located at the Kilohana Square on Kapahulu. Parking seemed quite limited, but it wasn't too bad on a Monday mid-morning. Definitely coming back for the French toast!

  • Tze M.

    Located in Kilohana Square in the old spot of India Cafe is the current home of Sweet E's Cafe. Not sure what the "E" stands for. It was a Sunday Ladies Brunch with the girls. Brunch was set at 11 am, and I got there a bit late, but it was perfect timing because they had just gotten seated. It was a bit caoted, the place was PACKED! Yelp's UYE was going on the same time! It was loud! I couldn't hear the person that was right next to me. The service was nice and friendly. The decor had a shabby chic beach theme with random black and white photos that looked like they were friends and family of the cafe staff all over the walls around around the room. There was a large mirror on the inside wall that made the room seem bigger. Everything on the menu looked so good, but my sights were set on the pesto chicken omelet. We were served with our drinks first. I ordered coffee... and these mugs were BIG, not to mention they kept coming around and refilling our drinks. We waited a while for our food to come out, and by that time I was so amped up caffeine, I was shaking like a crack addict. My omelet tasted as good as it looked. I ordered my dish with home fries, and a slice of sour dough toast. My girl friend that sat next to me had ordered stuffed french toast. It was stuffed with cream cheese and blueberries.. I was having food envy! Prices are reasonable. Service was great. Food was good. I would love to return on a day when it is not packed with large parties.

    Sweet E's is my favorite breakfast place! The service is excellent, I'm even give complementary coffee sometimes for being a loyal customer :) the quality of food is excellent and so delicious! They have the best stuffed blueberry and cream cheese French toast, it's a must try and the eggs Benedict is so scrumptious! I loveeee it there!

  • Tiffany L.

    Sweet E's was, without a doubt, my favorite breakfast in all of Oahu. Incredible. Not only is Sweet E's adorable and as quaint as your grandma's home inside, but they serve killer breakfast. Everyone absolutely loved their choices. They have Kalua Pig omlettes and eggs benedict. They have incredible and filling breakfast burritos. My husband got the breakfast burrito with Kalua Pig (not an option on the menu, but he asked and it wasn't a problem). It was delicious and full of tender pig, egg, veggies, potato and cheese. Salsa came on the side. My mom and I both got benedicts: she got the traditional and I got the homemade corned beef hash. Both were perfect. The hollandaise sauce was perfect and smooth. The eggs were perfectly poached and their corned beef puts every other corned beef in history to shame. My dad got a breakfast sandwich because he's a simple man who doesn't stray far from the classics, but they even did their sandwiches really well. You get your sandwich on a bagel or buttery croissant, with the addition of fresh spinach and tomato. They're known for their Blueberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast, and for good reason. It's incredible! Definitely try this, if not for your main dish as a sweet side treat to share with the table. We all got the fried rice with our dishes (an additional $1.50). The rice was very good. The service was good, although there was only one waiter for the whole restaurant. I don't particularly like that you need to go outside for the bathrooms, but oh well. A must try for a delicious Hawaiian breakfast.

    Pancake connoisseur says, "Two thumbs waaaaaaaay up!" Sweet E's is a cute little spot in Kilohana Square that has a very home like feel. There are pictures of family on the wall, signs saying this is your home food, and nice clean white and blue color scheme. It's super cute! I went when it wasn't too crowded. We were able to seat ourselves and had really quick and polite service. The specials of the day had a theme, Korea. They had a Korean Benedict, Kalbj and Kim chee in your Benedict, hold the hollandaise. Then the Korean Breakfast burrito, Kalbi in burrito form with most of the same stuff from the Benedict. The burrito looked real good, but I didn't want tempt the heat. Sriracha was all over it. Also tons of omelette combos or make your own. Waffles and my favorite, pancakes! I had the Banana Pancakes. Banana mashed into the batter that also had some cinnamon. I was in yummy pancake heaven! Fluffy goodness! The service was quick, but not rushed. Decently priced. I'm sure on the weekend this place is crowded, unless people haven't found it and in that case, go quick before there's a long wait. I can't wait to go back and attempt to have something other than the pancakes, but I highly doubt that will happen!

    New breakfast spot! Woo-hoo! This place is small and hidden so it may take a while to find! My husband had the kalua pig eggs benny (with the smallest amount of hollandaise ever) while I had a side order of fried rice (de-lish!) and the blue berry and cream cheese stuffed french toast. I love french toast and had never seen anything like this before. It was very good but I think needed more cream cheese. But then again, I love cream cheese so others might have said it already had too much! The restaurant is very modern. I love the decor. It is a little small though. Luckily, not very many people know about it so on a Saturday morning while other breakfast spots were pumping, this place still had room for us! There is a lot of street parking and a lot with ample parking as well. The service was good. I felt like there should have been more people working. There seemed to be one guy waiting on all the tables. He was doing a good job but I felt sorry for him. At the end of breakfast another person came on to help him. It was about $30 for our meals, so a little on the pricey side. I did take home most of my french toast because the portion size was huge. Overall, I would definitely eat here again. They are a newer establishment so hopefully they work out their quirks soon!

    Love the staff, love the food, been here twice. The wait is never that bad, I have only come as a pair and not a big group and not sure if that makes a difference. The staff stays on top of service in spite of the busy rotation. Food has always come out in a timely manner and been very good. I have not sampled the entire menu and I only have eaten their Breakfast Burrito which is superb and filling without engorging you all at once. I love this place and will continue to come for my breakfast fix!

    We always eat here right before we get on the plane back to the main island. The food at the airport is never as good as this and we leave pretty full! I always order banana pancakes with a side of bacon. I don't see why I have to explore the menu when I know my go to item is always done right! The pancakes are never dry and the bacon is crispy and not burnt. Maybe I never order anything different because my family are always willing to share their breakfast choices! One of the best special items was the corned beef loco moco!!! There are no words only nods and "mm mm mmm." Try out their kalua pork omelet, yummy!

    If you don't know the area well or if you don't call for directions, you might not be able to find this hidden place. The decorative style is unique and cool. It's not very big, but the ambience and food makes up for it. Staff was nice and welcoming, always checking in on us to see if we needed anything. Enjoyed my first time here and recommend this place to anyone looking for good eats especially for brunch. Only wished they had a bigger menu.

    If someone should do a regression analysis on yelp reviews for Sweet E's, it seems like high marks come from customers who: *order blueberry french toast *order corned beef hash eggs benedict *appreciate crisp hash browns *don't wait longer than 20 minutes The lower rated reviews indicate that customers hadn't happened to order the two main signature dishes. Also, if they waited a long time, they tended to say things like "it wasn't worth the wait for that long line." So, I went at 730 am on Saturday. My mom was slowing us down, so we abandoned her to make it to Sweet E's and beat the rush! Early bird, mom, you know? The restaurant at 730 am was only 40% full--so we sat down immediately. Regarding the menu, I actually usually dislike "homemade" corned beef. Sorry! I can't help it if I have blue collar taste buds sometimes. I think corned beef should almost be confused with dog food to be satisfying. All those "real" chunks are almost always disappointing for me. Anyway, the waiter assured me that the Kalua Eggs Benedict might be even better than the corned beef benedict. I can confirm that they were indeed deee-licious. Blueberry french toast--yes--just as good as I had read over and over. Hash browns and coffee: another winner. I had read in a review that they have red velvet pancakes? Really? Anything to save me from going to Cinnamons! Alas, but the red velvet sighting was no more than an Elvis rumour. After the carnage, I thought about taking a picture for yelp. But all you'd see is a plate wiped clean. We really all should start taking pictures of what our plates looked like afterwards. My main tip is: If you want a five star experience, do try to avoid the long line. And order well (based on other reviews). I do intend to go back--I think my mom would appreciate me taking her now.

    Hug the chef good! I love breakfast food. The stuffed french toast had the perfect ratio of cream n berries and it didnt fall apart all over the plate trying to cut it that was nice!! I had the Kalua Benedict and The entire dish was good with the perfect poached eggs, tender kalua pork, soft english muffin and hollandaise sauce, down to the potatoes as a side. My sister had the mess and that was a good mess it would have been perfect with eggs not so overdone. They had a great cup of coffee today I hope its like that everyday!!

    I have found my omelet nirvana in town. Sweet E's in Kilohana Square has a great selection of breakfast dishes, but the omelets are amazing. The portions are very generous, but not so big that you have to take a nap. My favorite is the make your own omelet with tomatoes, onions and cheese. The onions are diced nicely and sautéd to perfection before going into the omelet. As a side dish, their home made hash browns are some of the best I've had on Oahu. As for the service, my wife and her female friends have always enjoyed the male "eye candy" who do a great job of attending to your table.

    First and foremost, customer service is exceptional. Waiters are sharp and intuitive. Anticipates and addresses diners' needs before customer realizes he/she needs something. Blueberry cream cheese stuffed French toast was winners!! Comes with three pieces. Perfect to share with friends as a breakfast appetizer. Fruit bowl is super fresh! Delicious! Kalua pork eggs benedict also delicious. I got mine with fried rice. Yum! Kalua pork omelette also a good choice. We got ours scrambled. Last but definitely not least, the "scenery" (team of all-male servers) is yummy eye candy - (almost) enough to skip dessert! Lol.

    Finally got to cross this place off my list!! I rarely get the chance to come to town and try these cute hole in the wall cafes. We lucked out with parking and the wait was only 30mins this past Sunday(Fathers Day). Service was pretty spot on. I love how all the servers were checking up on each table with refills and food delivery. I ordered the Corned beef Hash eggs benedict, my friends ordered the Chicken Pesto Omelet, Kalua Pig Omelet and a veggie omelet, we shared the Blueberry stuffed French toast. I looooove Eggs Benedict in general. I do wish I got the classic benedict instead of the Corn beef. It was a bit too salty and had this overwhelming garlic flavor. Didn't finish it but im glad I got to try it. We wacked the French Toast like we weren't going to be eating for the next week. Amazing!! Everything came out pretty fast and the price wasn't bad so I would love to come back again soon and try something else.

  • Kai H.

    I'm going to go 3 stars here. While I like the concept of cream cheese and berries in my French toast, the actual excitement and anticipation of eating there overshadowed the overall taste of the food. However, the service was great. Somewhat hard to find, as it is in the back of the plaza.

    It's only taken me forever to try Sweet E's and it was worth the wait, and I mean that literally since we had to wait about 20 minutes to get a seat on a late Sunday morning. Fortunately, there's SoMace nearby to explore their fabulous textiles and tropical decor, but I digress... Sweet E's is in the former India Cafe space that has been transformed into a bright, clean and retro-modern restaurant. Menu is reminiscent of Cafe Kaila around the corner, so think breakfast, brunch and lunch items. I ordered the first thing that caught my eye, a chicken spinach pesto omelette served with breakfast potatoes and toast while my skinny friend ordered a salad (really?!). Service is attentive and swift since they have such a long wait line. Still, we were able to linger over our delicious meals, or rabbit food as in the case of my friend, and watch the muscular wait staff juggle heaping platters of food that looked like goodies I should've also ordered. My first impression of this charming cafe was very positive, and I know I'll be back!

  • Yesly S.

    If I could give them 10 stars I would. This is officially my favorite breakfast spot on the island. The wait was the only down fall but it was worth it. Once you are actually seated it only gets better as their service is beyond amazing. The food obviously stole the show. My husband ordered their extreme mess and was in breakfast food heaven. I had their Kalua pig omelet . If you knew me you would know I don't care for eggs or cheese but took a chance and was so happy I did. Can't wait to come back.

    Been here a few times already and i enjoy it every time. This time i opted for the breakfast burrito instead of the banana french toast. Not a disappointment at all. parking- can be horrible but the security directed me to park in the red zone on the street and that worked out perfect. service- has improved but still there is a minimal wait. great service with the male waiters! quick service and efficient!

    Went on a Saturday in a group of 4. Waited 90 minutes, give or take a couple minutes. We had the urge to leave but decided to stick it out. I'm glad I did. I ordered the blueberry stuffed French toast that everyone was raving about. It was alright to me. Too sweet in my opinion. I got the corn beef hash Benedict with hash browns. Now that is a dish worth waiting for. It was so good I came back two days later for take out.

    After reading the reviews and hearing good stuff about a new breakfast place in Kapahulu, I was eager to try it. I had a little bruncheon/luncheon with my grandma, mom and sister. My mom was worried that the place would be busy (since it was a Saturday) and that we wouldn't find parking, but when we got there, there was a ton of parking spaces and the cafe only had a couple customers. The place was easy to find.. it's in back of the Mr. Ojisan restaurant and next to India Cafe. Upon entering Sweet E's Cafe, I noticed the cute and girly decor.. perfect spot for brunch with your girlfriends. I love breakfast food so I was pretty excited to try their food. They also have lunch too if you're not in a breakfasty mood. Anyway, I decided on getting the Hawaiian omelette w/fried rice and toast. The food came out pretty fast and it looked really good. My omelette was filled with cheese, portuguese sausage, green onions and ham I think? It was pretty good but I didn't think it was like anything special sorry to say :/ I did enjoy my sister's pancake though. It was nice and fluffy and had a hint of cinnamon! My mom got the benedict but she didn't seem too thrilled about it. I tried a bite of it and thought it was okay as well. I hate to give this place 3 stars especially since everyone gave such great reviews on this place.. but I have to be honest I wasn't like blown away by this place. It wasn't horrible though.. just okay. I'd probably come back here though just because I like the atmosphere so much and to try their other dishes.

    Best breakfast I've had in a long time!!! A small hole in the wall, with maybe 15 tables. This seems like a total local place. We had the much talked about blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast w/ extra fruit - divine!!! Lived up to the hype in my opinion. We also created our own omelet which was great, fluffy eggs, great tasting chicken, and spinach. It was stuffed. ..overall 5 from me!

  • Wesley C.

    A must try breakfast haven. All omelettes are made to order; tasty & extremely large; at least 4-5 eggs on each with huge amounts of filling. Hash browns are thin & crispy.

    I've heard about this place many a time through many a whos-its-whats-its, and didn't realize that I pass the dang place almost every day! Located right at the top of Kapahulu in a small shopping complex that holds a bunch of super random stores such as florists, and a greeting card printing shop. We had a chance to wander around the complex while waiting for our food. Weiiiirrrd. Anyways, the size of Sweet' E's is bigger than you would think, judging by the outdoors. We arrived here on a random friday at around 11am. For a random friday, this place seemed to be doing pretty decently. Business must have been steady that day because throughout my whole dining experience, Sweet E's seemed to keep a steady turn-over of their tables. We waited for about 10 minutes until we were seated and the server was time efficient in bringing us water and taking our order. Our food came out in about 10 minutes, which really surprised me. My friend and I both ordered the traditional eggs benedict which comes with the poached egg, ham, and benedict over english muffin. The english muffin seemed to be a bit thinner than what I was used to, so i mostly felt like I was eating egg and ham. Maybe Sweet E's was trying to put me on a low carb diet. The poached egg was cooked well-done, which bothered me a little, but thankfully our server and busser were so nice, that I didn't bother to say anything. Personally, I like the yolk raw and messy all over my plate! I ordered my side of hashbrowns, but you could also order potatos, rice, or fried rice for an additional amount. The hash browns were pretty good, crispy, and flat. Overall, i had a good experience here, but judging from the benedict, the food is pretty average and the portions are average. I think you could a better quality breakfast for just a couple dollars more elsewhere. But if you're looking for a place without surprise, and hoping to please your mother, or girlfriend for a cute breakfast brunch, this place would do the trick nicely. :-) WARNING ABOUT PARKING: Beware to those who have big cars, parking is pretty tight here! You will cram your trucks/suv into the stall and most likely crawl out of the trunk (like i did).

    I had such a great experience at Sweet E's Cafe that I decided to enable my Yelp account just to write a review on them. We went there once but the wait was about an hour, so we left. On Tuesday, there was no wait & got seated as soon as we walked in. There's no reservations but it's definitely worth the wait! Service: It was excellent! Definitely a good place to go if you want to start your day around good energy and positive vibes. The waitresses checked up on us on a timely matter & our glasses of water & coffee never went empty. BEST service ever! Food: The food was phenomenal. I got the scrambled eggs, fried rice, & sausage links & we also ordered the blueberry and cream cheese stuffed French toast. The portions are huge so you leave with a full, happy tummy. The French toast was to die for! I definitely want to come back to have some again.

    One of my favorite breakfast spots! Tasty food, friendly staff and cute interior. I hate (hate, hate, hate) standing in line to get into places so I don't actually visit Sweet E's as often as I'd like. However, every time I'm somehow out of the house by 8 a.m. on a weekend or it's one of those weirdo State holidays (Kuhio, Kamehameha, Admissions Day), I try to make it a point to beat the crowd. I just went yesterday and noticed that they've opened up the back lot behind the shopping complex up specifically for Sweet E's customer parking on weekends. Probably a win-win for everyone -- more parking for patrons and less clogging up the very tiny, tight parking lot for all the other merchants of the shopping center. Thus, we scored some sweet parking. It was a short wait (under ten minutes) and we were seated by 9 a.m. The staff here is causal, but they take great care of the customers. It's always efficient from drink offers as soon as you sit down through orders, beverage refills and table service throughout the meal and then closing you out. It's a small place (30 people capacity), but I've never been there when it's slow so I appreciate the attentiveness that comes standard. I typically do a Benedict and this time went for the traditional with bacon instead of Canadian bacon (easy to sub in, no problems!). They crumble the bacon so it's like eggs benny with bacon bits, which I've never really had before but actually made it much easier to cut apart and eat. Eggs were perfectly poached -- I don't think I've ever had one over-done or under-done at Sweet E's even though they're churning plates out like nobody's business. The hollanaise suace here is a little thicker than I like, but is fresh and flavorful. I opted for hash browns on the side and they were typical-grade potatoes. Crispy with a little bit of grease. Paired with coffee, it was a great start to my Saturday. The person I went with got the loco moco special. It wasn't a ton of food, but a sizable amount for a dude and I don't like it when places sacrifice quality for a huge pile of rice and loads of gravy. Loco moco isn't something I eat often, but I tried some and the gravy was really flavorful, with caramelized onions in it -- yum! My other go-to benny here is the corned beef hash Benedict if I'm feeling hungrier since it comes with two nice, meaty (as opposed to filled with tons of potato filler) corned beef hash. I've gotten the side of fried rice a few times too, but don't particularly care for it: while I love that there's a nice combo of meats in there without the gross peas or carrots I despise, they use sesame oil or something in the cooking that you can definitely taste in the whole scoop. I'm not a fan of that, but that's just personal preference. This is getting long, but also wanted to point out that the interior is very thoughtfully decorated from the walls to the table accents. It's a very homey, beach-house atmosphere and perfect backdrop for the breakfast and lunch items they're serving up.

    One of my favorite places to get breakfast!! Went on a Sunday and luckily snagged a table right when we got there. It's a very cute and homey restaurant. It's quite small so that means get there early or you'll have to wait! Trust me, it's worth it. If you don't want to wait and would rather skip the line, try going down early on a weekday! I had the corned beef hash eggs Benedict - heavenly!! The herb roasted potatoes on the side were also amazing. My boyfriend got the French toast which was topped off with a heaping portion of fresh fruit! So ono! Get your butt on over here for a delicious breakfast!

    Super cute restaurant...we had the banana stuffed French toast and Kailua pork eggs benedict....one egg was way over cooked and the French toast temperature seemed like it was sitting out for awhile, but overall it was OK. Pros: - awesome atmosphere - very reasonable pricing - very friendly staff Cons: - long wait for food

    Cute Beachy scenery, which a cafe feel is what they offer. Wait time? just like any other place long, but i havent experienced it yet (knock on wood) Right in the beginning of Kapahulu, located in a mini small mall you'll find sweet E's cafe. Price here is just under 10 dollars, but worth the bite for your buck. Definitely going back for the french toast! i will update then!

    Sometimes plans don't turn out as you'd hoped, but as the saying goes, there's always a silver lining. A rainy Sunday morning diverted our hiking plans so instead my friends and I thought of where we could enjoy a cozy breakfast/brunch. Cafe Kalia was our first pick but we didn't feel like waiting in a 20-deep line. Sweet E's was just around the corner so we quickly headed there. There were a few parties ahead of us but nothing like the other place. The wait was about 30 minutes or so. Our waiter was super friendly and thanked us for waiting. By that time, I was so hungry I could've ordered anything on the menu and I'm sure it would've tasted excellent. Got the extreme mess - the perfect breakfast combo - and also shared the stuffed french toast with my friends. So delicious. So cozy. I'm glad the original plans didn't turn out or else it probably would've taken me longer to eat here. The gleam of sunshine peeked out on the horizon so we did end up doing an alternative hike after that scrumptious meal, which worked out just as well. Yay for rainy day plans!

    I had never heard of this place until I was invited to eat there one day. The location is easy to find but hard to pin point if you are unfamiliar with the area because street side shops makes it appear to only be those street side merchants. Once you see a driveway on kapahulu, it's only a one way out and you have to circle the block. Sweet Es is a small, yet modern and open place to eat. It can fill up so make sure you anticipate a wait because its very popular The staff are all young, local people blending into a hip, and vibrant atmosphere. It's very relaxing and that's always nice. The food here is awesome. The variety can keep you coming back, and the consistency will make it great every time. The Benedict's are all great, which is to says that their hollandaise is particularly tasty, so order some on the side to dip your potatoes in. The prices are good, especially for what you get. A great place to start your day, or weekend with most items under $10 and hefty portions. We try to go every weekend if we can.

  • Sho U.

    Great place, great food, great service. I'm so glad I found this place through Yelp because I would have never found it just driving around Kapahulu Ave. I came here with my wife and had the eggs Benedict, pancakes, and scrambled egg dish (probably too much for a breakfast for 2 .) The guy sitting next to us was chowing down on a loco moco that looked out of this world, which I was really seriously thinking hard about whether I should order it or not on top of the food we had already ordered. I decided I would come back another time for it. The quality of the food was very high. The eggs in the Benedict were done just right. We got the ham eggs Benedict, but I think the most popular one here is the corned beef eggs Benedict. I'm going to order that the next time I come here. There was a guy sitting alone next to us who ordered the corned beef Benedict, and he just had the biggest grin on his face when he was eating it, obviously elated with his food. When you see that, you just can't help but wonder what it tastes like. The roasted herb potatoes that came as a side to the eggs Benedict were seasoned just right and delicious as well. The pancakes were moist and delicious. The scrambled eggs dish was very good too. The ambiance is great. It reminded me a bit of Sarabeth's in New York. Very classy and clean. The service was great as well. The waitress was very friendly and very helpful. I would come back again and again. Overall, it was a great breakfast experience.

    Where do I begin with this review? Located in Kapahulu in Kilohana Square is this quant little cafe. I arrived here on a monday at around 10:00 am, with a party of 5 including our sleeping 9 month baby. It wasn't too crowded, and we were seated promptly. Honestly, everything on the menu looked delicious! I ordered the Eggs Benedict with the corned beef hash. It was Amazing! The corned beef hash was home made, and it came with a side of potatoes. By far THE best Benedict I've ever tasted! My wife ordered the French Toast, stuffed with blueberry and cream cheese. This too was also very amazing! The French Toast was so tasty! I enjoyed them without the syrup. The friends I came with suggested that we also try the Lox on Bagels. This too was very delicious. It came with capers, sliced onions, cream cheese, and tomato slivers. Overall, my experience here was amazing! The waiters were friendly, the atmosphere was very relaxing, and the food was awesome! I will definitely be returning to this place sooner then later. I recommend it to all you Breakfast Connoisseurs whom happen to be in town in the Kapahulu area.

  • Maya G.

    This review is entirely based on the service, or lack thereof, I experienced (as a party of 2) that showed up the Monday after Christmas for some breakfast. I will say honestly that it has nothing to do with food, because we didn't stay long enough to taste it. When we walked in, the 20 seat restaurant wasn't full, but there were about 4 tables waiting to be cleaned off and have people sat at them. There were also approximately 8 people waiting to be seated. What a coincidence. That didn't stop the restaurant from leaving the guests on their feet, and the tables dirtied, as the single waitress toddled from table to table, taking her sweet time bringing one thing out at a time, without a single thought to efficiency or guest services. All in total, to save you a long story: we waited to be seated patiently for about 25 minutes. Once we were seated, the waitress took our orders and disappeared for another 15 minutes. We had ordered coffee, it did not appear until 15 minutes later (and only one cup, no milk.) I remembered that the waitress didn't confirm which meat I had chosen for my breakfast burrito, so I double checked with her. She looked embarrassed and said she forgot. I asked if my meal was being made (15 minutes had passed) and she said, "No, I haven't put in the order yet." She walked away and I was just livid with the absence of any sort of attention to service or the satisfaction of a room full of guests. (Every one of us was waiting, we weren't singled out by any means.) Truthfully, with the 15 items on their menu, there's nothing to *wait* for...from what I saw of the presentation of other people's food, there's nothing in this restaurant you can't find elsewhere, and certainly nothing to wait around for. I hope they pay some more attention to service in the future. As it was today, I was so upset with the lack of service that we got up, told her to cancel our order (which was probably not a problem, as she hadn't gotten around to submitting it anyway) and left, after blowing 45 minutes waiting for it. I would not recommend this restaurant to anybody, local or not.

    I expected more from the corn hash eggs benedict from reading the reviews...The poached egg was kind of over-cooked and cold. I also expected the hollandaise sauce. It was just alright. My mom also got the Spinach Feta Omelette. Judging from how the eggs were cooked and how it tasted, I wouldn't say it was freshly made. The egg wasn't really spongy or had any texture like that. BUT THE SERVICE IS GREAT!! Maybe I just came on the wrong day??

    This place is a hidden treasure ! Good food and good service ! I had the ( Mess ) Hash brown with sausage and bacon and veggiies all mixed in and cheese on the top. And a side order of there corn beef hash. BEST corn beef hash to this day ! There's roasted garlic in there someplace. You can smell it. SO Ono ! There famous for the sweet bread stuffed with blueberries and cream. I'm having that next time. I'll be back for sure!

    Amazing. Service is top notch, the menu is cant miss and a hint of art thrown in. Be warned there is a wait and parking is difficult to find (anywhere though - right?). It is not easy to find but once you do, it's like finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Diners drive ins and dives should find this place. Your parking experience might turn this 5 star place into a 4 star joint, but we come early (right when they open) and have no problems.

    8:30 AM MIDWEEK BREAKFAST - Seated immediately. One group of regs was finishing a breakfast meeting and another group had just ordered. Very friendly waitress brewed a fresh pot of decaf for me (I know, "DefC?" I get that a lot). Food took about 30 minutes but we were behind the 6 person group. My french toast was excellent (and a very big portion). Wife had scrambleds, bacon, and hash browns; all done perfectly. Nice walk from Waikiki. Stop at Bailey's Aloha Shirts on the way back and check out the 70's neon polyester shirts. It's like a time capsule of bad taste. You'll think "WOW ... the coke must have been REALLY good back then." I found a very tasteful classic silk Tori Richard for $29. No, seriously.

    For my first Yelp review, it only seemed appropriate that it be for Sweet E's Cafe.. considering I could not stop raving about it after the very first bite! So I stumbled upon this place while reading Biting Commentary one day.. looked them up on Yelp.. and was sold that I HAD TO try this place simply because they had corned beef hash eggs benedict. I definitely was not disappointed! Although the wait was a little long, it was well worth it. That was probably the best corned beef hash I have EVER eaten! My only suggestion.. order extra hollandaise sauce for the delicious hash browns that are served with the benedict.

    Amazing breakfast spot off of Kapahulu. The food is fresh and really great, service is attentive and friendly. It is a clean and very welcoming environment. You feel at ease as soon as you walk in. The Omelets are amazing and stuffed with fresh ingredients. The herb potatoes are cooked perfectly with just the right amount of seasoning. The Benedict's are fantastic and the both stuffed french toast(banana and blueberry) are amazing! You will not go wrong with this cute little breakfast spot. We will definitely be going back again and again. Enjoy.

    I've been here about 3 times now. Would come more often if the parking was better which is why I am giving this place only 4 stars. Quality of the food is important but service it is even more important to me. Very attentive and friendly staff always refilling your drinks. Had the all American omelette today. The eggs were great, fluffy and firm. The menu has a wide variety to please everyone. Check out the side orders. You can get a small size of their specialty stuffed French toast. Great for the kids or if you want a little extra something. I always like a little variety. Go early if you want to avoid the crowd and get a parking. So basically go when they open at 7am and you will have a great start of your day.

    It's nice to see a new business do well. My wife and I have been here twice already and the place is always packed, but wait time is minimal. Eggs benedict spot on! Breakfast burrito comes with your choice of breakfast meat...smart! Why is the coffee so good? The owner is a former barrista at Starbucks. Prices are reasonable, but wait staff gave wife pinapple juice instead of OJ. No biggie.

    Enchanting French toast. 3 HUGE slices of sweet bread, sprinkled with powdered sugar. And has a butter and syrup. Stuffed with blueberry and cream cheese. Add fruit on toppings strawberry blueberry and bananas for another 2 bucks. In addition it comes with a Berry and lilikoi butter on the side. It was cooked to perfection. I didn't even add any additional syrup to the dish. My husband ordered the Corned beef hash eggs Benedict. He is obsessed with their home made corn beef hash. Get the roasted herb potatoes instead of the fried rice. the fried rice was okay. Nothing special. Next time I come back I'll try the breakfast burrito. It's huge, colorful and looked awesome. Prices are about $8-12 bucks a dish. Small place. The food comes out quickly and service is friendly.

    Tried it for the first time NYE after my run. It was so crowded I should've chose a different day to try it. The wait to sit was about 15 mins which wasn't bad. The food took really long, but it was very tasty. I had the breakfast burrito, my boyfriend had the chicken pesto omelet, I think my son had a a mix of something...lol but everything was good. Again I think the ticket times were at least 25-30 mins, which is pretty long for breakfast. The servers were very nice even though I know they were stressing. I will be back!!!

    once you find it, its like finding the end of the breakfast rainbow and diving into a treasure trove of breakfast delights. this place (despite what some folks said) was a little difficult to find, ONLY because it is not on the main drag..... what i'm trying to say is that i passed right by it, had to turn around to look for it before turning INTO the Kilohana square, where Sweet E's is..... waffles - pancakes - omlettes - breakfast burritos - cereal - fresh fruits - Benedict's - Bagels and Lox..... and LUNCH (only served from 11am)! they have more than what i listed, and its all made fresh. i just had the breakfast burrito, and i am seriously ready to take a nap.... this is definitely going to be one of my go-to places for breakfast. bring it on morning! also - staff are friendly, and re-fills are plentiful :D

    Legitimately the best meal I've had on the island. Been living here for over 2 months and can't believe it took me this long to find this gem. I got the kalua pork eggs Benedict and was not disappointed. It was spectacular. The eggs were poached to perfection. The pork was sweet and smokey and the hollandaise sauce was also perfect. Get here early on the weekends ! Next time I'm definitely getting the stuffed French toast. Everything looks amazing.

  • Rikki J.

    Worth the wait!!! We waited for 30 minutes and when we got in it was so worth it. My husband ordered the Hawaiian omelette and I ordered the Kalua pork omelette with a side of the famous blueberry stuffed French toast. If you aren't a French toast person, you will be after trying theirs!!! It was some of the most delicious breakfast I've ever had! The service was excellent and fast. The restaurant is very small, maybe 15 tables. The parking is limited, but I know why!! This place is a GEM!

  • William G.

    ALL I CAN SAY IS MMMMMMMMMMM. I have been to Sweet E's a handful of times and am never disappointed. I always get the breakfast burrito with Ham and the blueberry cream cheese french toast. The atmosphere of the cafe is very comfy. Yeah, the place itself is small but it gives it a sense of island ohana. The waiters are not what you would picture as the servers or wait staff. They are local guys with tattoos. I do not have a problem with this. I prefer "real" guys that serve me food vs stuck up fake people. I work in the hotel industry and recommend this place to all my guests.

  • Trista T.

    Very hidden location. Waited about 45 mins to be seated in a tiny cafe... and I must say, it was worth the wait and drive. We ordered the blueberry cream cheese french toast: amazing! Chicken pesto omelette: Salty (wouldn't order again) Scrambler: delicious Over all I will be making an hour drive on occasion to eat here. The staff was great and the food was even better.

    This place is great for breakfast and brunch. It's really popular so there is usually a wait unless you go at like 1 pm. Seating is not much and very close and intimate. I know they are known for their sweet stuff but it's just not in my culture to have sweets for breakfast. I have tried all their eggs benedict and the Kalua Pork is my favorite. The service was okay. It wasn't as good as it was before. I went in recently and didn't recognize a lot of them. Overall the food is consistent and savory. I love coming here on Sunday mornings after church :)

    Blueberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast Blueberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast Blueberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast Blueberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast Blueberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast ....and topped with other fruits and smothered in sizzzzzzzzzurp. My picture does no justice for what it actually tastes like. Just go and try for yourself. On weekends, parking could be a hassle so try to get there early. Customer service has always been great and everyone walks around with a smile. This is definitely one of my favorite breakfast spots in town.

    Birthday Breakfast for Mama First timers! A cute little place, parking is kind of sparing so I would plan ahead and carpool. Clean, AC, quite atmosphere. Pesto Chicken Omlette - YUUMM! A nice portion of food and good ratio of eggs to filling. I hate when there is not equal amounts. Delicious! Mama had a Corned Beef Eggs Benedict and ate it all, so that's a good sign. My sister had Kalua Pig Benedict and also ate all of hers. She is pretty picky, so it was definitely delicious! We all shared a Waffle, it was perfect! Crunchy yet soft and oh so yummy! We will definitely be back again! :)

    This was so excellent! It is the best breakfast dive I ever tried. You will not get any pics from me. I could not wait to eat the best eggs Benedict I ever had. The hash browns were buttery and also the best I ever had!! The fried rice was rich with a power packed zing of goodies. My husbands blueberry pancakes were filled with fresh blueberries and tasted Devine. Friendly staff. Worth waiting in the blazing sun for. It is a local paradise and we crashed it hard. It is a little hard to find so google it. I think it is the best breakfast I ever ate. Take my word, I am 5 star chef. I will be back to Sweet E.

    Delicious and young! Ambiance is quaint, cute and clean! Modern feel. R n B/pop music plays. Food is trendy with a local flare. Wide arrangement from healthy spinach, tomato, mushroom and feta omelet to pancakes or kailua pork eggs Benedict and fried rice. Coffe is bold and flavorful. If highly recommend this to young couples or groups of friends! Small location but can accommodate families.

    Wowsers! Late post, but all is well. Thanks to a good friend, this was my second visit, this time with my honey. Breakfast was delightful. Fresh good served with great coffee and service. Gentlemen, take a moment to smile and congratulate each other. Very well organized. I had traditional french toast with side of eggs; gotta be mindful of my routine at the gym. Next time, I'll have to try one of the more savory eats. See ya soon! You should to!

    Tried calling three times for takeout at noon today, the phone rang at least 6-7 times each time. It sounded like someone was picking up the phone and leaving it off of the hook. Unless the place is secretly closed for some reason today (in which case I will change my review)..horrible service. Going to order from cafe Kaila instead.

    This is the best breakfast place on the island! I'm a avid breakfast person and always looking for something new. But sweet Es is the to go spot that I know it would be good for sure to get some good breakfast! The kalua pig eggs benedict is the best I have. I tired many and sweet Es has the best! And their stuffed blueberry cream cheese French toast is unreal! The best! Service is outstanding too!

  • Kristel G.

    The food is good. If you order an omelette be sure to get it with fried rice!! I feel that's what made the dish from alright to really good!!! Staff are friendly. Food came out quickly which is a plus

    I have had Sweet E's bookmarked for quite some time, so I was happy when a friend agreed to join me for breakfast here the other day. I had read in other reviews that the parking was tight, but I don't think that even mentally prepared me for the cluster f@$k of a parking lot that awaited me. After securing parking, we went into the café to put our names on the list and saw that there were eight (8) parties ahead of us and mentally prepared for about an hour or so wait. Once inside the restaurant, you'll notice a sign requesting diners who place their name(s) on the list to please browse the menus(s) so that once you're seated you're prepared to order pretty much immediately. Being the good patrons we are, we obliged and took a menu outside. To our surprise, someone from the restaurant began coming around the group of us waiting outside taking pre-orders for those waiting for a table. To be honest, at first I found this to be very off putting and felt somewhat rushed. This method to me lacked the interaction you get when you sit down for a meal somewhere and your server introduces themselves and you can talk story for a moment or two and get a better vibe for the place, etc. By the second time they came around looking for pre-orders, we figured we should get with the times and we too placed our orders. Despite my feelings on this way of handling things, I realize that by doing this, they are able to "herd" people in and out more efficiently and keep the wait time down which is greatly appreciated on hot summer days. However, it should be noted that if you're looking for a weekend spot to sit and chat and really have a leisurely meal, this is not the place. Our names were called within about a half an hour of arrival. Almost immediately after we sat down, our food and beverage order arrived hot to our table. I ordered the traditional Eggs Benedict, with potatoes and my friend ordered the Kalua Pig Benedict which is served over a poi english muffin with hash browns. After reading all the rave reviews of the french toast, we also shared an order of their Enchanting French Toast stuffed with blueberries and cream cheese. Needless to say, we ordered way too much to eat. The food was absolutely delicious. The eggs on the benedicts were poached perfectly, and when cut into the yolks ran out in the most beautiful way that it almost brought tears to my eyes. The blueberry stuffed french toast was also incredible. Not overly sweet, and had the perfect balance of flavors. Despite ordering ahead, service was still attentive and friendly while we were dining. The décor of the place gives in an open airy feel so despite the fact that they're super busy, you won't feel like you're in a sardine can. I will for one definitely be back.

    I went there with my BFF and we shared the Blueberry cream cheese French toast with strawberries and the Breakfast burrito. The Breakfast burrito was ok, but the french toast was BOMB!!! I'm not a huge french toast person, but it's absolutely delicious at Sweet E's. Parking was a little rough, but I really liked this place. The people were friendly and the atmosphere was chill. Felt like a family owned business which I liked. Glad I had a chance to check it out and you should too! =)

    Ok so on my first visit I was really impressed! I'm more about the food and it was really awesome. The wait wasn't so bad as it is expected, it was a 30 min wait that actually turned to be less than 20. Anyways we got seated and the service was great. I determine the quality by the waiter filling my water cup and it was always filled. I had the hash brown and corned beef hash eggs Benedict. It was the best and I'm salivating just thinking about it. I also had the Belgium waffles and that was on point. From this I knew I wanted to keep on coming back. So great service, food, and lastly I REALLY enjoyed the music and the youthful vibe. Now on to my second visit. It was a Sunday and the restaurant was as expected packed with an over 30 min actual wait. FINE! I enjoyed the first visit that this was not a problem. The food gets sent out pretty quick without any compromise in quality of food anyways. So rewinding, we went in and wrote our names down and then went to food land which is less than 3 min walk away and came back. We then wait and notice people coming and going and realize that our names was about to be called any minute. At one point the waiter comes out and says a name real soft and quickly and goes back in. Looks left and right and back in. Then comes back out in the next second yelling out the next name that's ready to be seated. The people after us! Not cool! My name is 2 letters so I knew that he called my name, more like mouthed it and felt as if we got blown off. I went in and seen the sign in sheet and seen that we got crossed off. I was hungry, hot and had waited. I told the guy how come that was? And then said I had been sitting in front of the restaurant, even pointed to where, the whole time! More than 20 minutes at least. After that they had seated us next and I was a bit salty at the server and didn't want to look at him. We then got another server. I am very forgiving because the food is soooo awesome. The right amount of seasoning and flavor for me. I will be coming back definitely and won't let this past experience ruin a great, satisfying breakfast next time. Just thought I'd share.

    Sweet E's cafe is definitely my go to breakfast spot. Recently came here with my hubby and son, the parking is tight especially with our big car, still found a spot though. We got a table, didn't have to wait which was nice. The waiters were very nice, I got the pesto chicken omelet with roasted potatoes. My hubby got the Benedict two ways, he couldn't decide so the waiter asked if he wanted to try both which was the kalua pig and homemade corned beef hash. We also ordered the stuffed banana French toast, which omg it was soooo good! My hubby enjoyed his food, he did think the hash was a little salty, he liked the kalua pig Benedict better. I really liked my omelet very pesto-yyy which I like. Everything was very good, super cute place. Very homey with very good food. Definitely will be back, to get me more of that stuffed banana French toast!!!

    One of my dearest, long-time friends was going through a funk and didn't want to get together. Luckily, I'm a hopeless romantic when it comes to friendship and brought her flowers to her work on Friday. This small gesture allowed me to persuade her to go to breakfast, and I wanted to come somewhere special...and Sweet E's is! I told her to be ready by 8 and we'd go over. I read that parking was a little dicey, and we were able to get a spot. The cafe is in a small sort of strip mall and if you didn't know where you were going, you wouldn't see it. It doesn't look like much on the outside, but once in, it's a cute little, cozy spot. Since there was no one waiting, we were seated right away. Great menu! So much to choose from! We decided to order the vegetarian benedict and the kahlua benedict and split them. We also shared the stuffed french toast with blueberries and cream cheese. We did start with some pricey papaya, but hey, I'm on vacation. Everything came out in a timely fashion and very delicious! Loved the french toast! The handsome staff was very friendly and courteous and managed to turn tables quickly. We did take a while, catching up, and the staff was gracious. I do wish I could've come back one more time, but that will have to wait until next year! Mahalo Sweet E's...breakfast was swa-eeeeeeeeet!

    Being woke up after a long week of work and school really sucks. But after being forced to get breakfast, it was so worth to wake up early. Come early because this place can become crowded especially on the weekends, but it's worth it! Just right for a nice breakfast or bunch. We ordered: -Blueberry French toast -everyday specials -waffles with fruit -pesto omelet -vegan omelet -spinach and tomato benedict For all you coffee drinkers- they have Starbucks medium roast (iced or cold) Everything was delicious! I would recommend anything. But I really enjoyed their waffles with fruits! I'm not a waffle person but this is something I would get again and again. Their waffle batter isn't your typical buttermilk batter. Instead it has a cinnamon sweetness. Yum! Service was really good. They made us feel right at home. Overall for food portions, price, and service is worth it. How about tomorrow morning?

    STUFFED FRENCH TOAST! I think this was my first time ever ordering stuffed french toast and I'm so glad I started with Sweet E's Cafe! It was like a blueberry cream cheese inside fluffy french toast - SO GOOD - definitely my favorite We ordered a side of spinach and mushrooms which were pretty self explanatory. We got the corned beef hash benedict with country fried potatoes and a side of fried rice. The benedict was bomb - never had corned beef hash like this. and the HOLLANDAISE sauce was delish! The fried rice was really good. A little bit on the oily side but i think it's because there was a lot of bacon in it. We came pretty early and there was a little bit of a wait but not too bad. I would suggest coming early though - as we were leaving there were a lot more people waiting. I would definitely come back here next time in Oahu!

    Oh my GAWD! I was always seeing this place on Instagram, every now and then a friend would come here, and I would hear about these blueberry cream cheese stuffed French toast and it would make my mouth water! Luckily, every place I went on Saturday, was super busy, so we decided to come here, live on the edge a little and try something different, BOY OH BOY am I glad to have tried this place. The wait was about 15 min, but we were hungry and I really wanted to try this place. First off I really loved the homey feeling about this place. The staff was very very nice, always coming around and checking up on us. Food: THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS! Of course I had the cream cheese stuffed French toast and a side of bacon, damn I ate 2 but took one home, that was the most magical thing I have ever eaten in my life. The plantation tea was good, I did add my own sugar lol, then again I love my sweets, but yes I'm glad I found this spot and I will definitely come again. I recommend it very much!

    One of my favorite breakfast spots. There's typically a wait but it's not too bad and it's definitely worth it. My favorites are the Kalua pig or corned beef hash eggs benedicts & the blueberry stuffed French toast! Super delicious and packed full of flavor. All their portion sizes are pretty big and the prices are reasonable. Their servers are pretty on point, and take care of business and get things done fast.

    I've been meaning to have breakfast here for quite some time now, but circumstances just wouldn't allow it ... until recently. The first time we headed there, we failed miserably trying to find it, having forgotten the name of the place. We ended up in a different shopping plaza. The second time out, we found it. Sweet E's Cafe is in a run-down shopping area of Kaimuki called "Kilohana Square." The thing is, there's no entrance on the main street, just an exit. So one has to turn on the street before the plaza, then hang an immediate left between what looks like two run-down buildings. I don't know when they built the plaza, but it must have been in the '50s or maybe even earlier. Sweet E's is in a corner, with a sign and a door, no fancy facade to catch your attention. There's adequate parking, but if the place is busy, good luck finding street parking. The place is pretty small. When I first learned about it, I was told there were only 10 tables. There are more, of course; I counted 36 seats, all of which were filled with diners by the time we got out of there (9:30 a.m.). I'd read about their Corned Beef Hash Eggs Benedict, so I knew what I was going to have before the waiter gave us menus. The wife ordered a Vegetarian Eggs Benedict, which consisted of tomato slices and spinach leaves on English muffin, two poached eggs, and hollandaise sauce. I didn't sample hers because I have a very good idea of what tomatoes and spinach taste like. My Corned Beef Hash Eggs Benedict was a bit disappointing. For one thing, the hash flavor was very intense, too intense for my liking. The English muffin was hardly crispy at all, and the hollandaise was too lemony (It's as if they squeezed lemon juice over the hollandaise after the plate was set up. The fried rice was also too intensely flavored. Needless to say I didn't care for it very much. Half the hash and 3/4 of the rice made it to the "take home" poly box alongside the wife's Veggie Benedict, but I didn't expect I'd be eating any of it soon. Next time (if there is a next time), I may have their Stuffed French Toast that people on Yelp have been talking about. Then again, they were saying good things about the Corned Beef Hash Omelet too, so I don't know about that.

    I visited Sweet E's Cafe on my last visit to Hawaii and loved it. Their space is located right across the street from the ever so popular Leonard's Bakery. The actual restaurant is modern, cozy, and welcoming. Fortunately, the wait wasn't too long but it was very hot outside and there is no room inside the restaurant to wait until you're seated so you basically have to hunt for shade nearby outside the restaurant. Once we were called in, we decided to order the stuffed blueberry French Toast and the Kailua Pork Benedict. Both dishes were delicious! The blueberry creamed cheese filling in the french toast made it taste sweet and creamy. The kailua pork paired perfectly with the poached egg on the benedict. At first we though rice was a little odd to be paired with the eggs benedict since it already came over an englsih muffin, but we took a bite and it was clear that we were wrong. Flavorful and satisfying. I would definitely return. Service was great! We were constantly asked if we were ok and if we needed anything. Waters and coffee was constantly refilled and our waiter took the time to make small talk. I would definitely return again. Hopefully the wait isn't too long the next time since Sweet E's is gradually gaining more popularity.

    This restaurant is a wonderful place! I felt the whole welcoming vibe coming in and enjoyed the whole Ohana decor with the homey signage and family pictures. You can definitely tell this place gets busy because we came when they just opened and they were really trying hard to keep the bigger tables for parties of 3 or more. There were so many good items on the menu my friend and i couldn't decide on one so we decided to share the Extreme Mess scramble that had a little bit of everything in it. It was a very hearty dish and wasn't too oily at all like i imagined it would be. Everything in there held their own distinct flavor. It was a very together dish despite all its ingredients :) We also shared the French Toast. After reading the reviews after our visit, i kinda wish we had tried the stuffed french toast, but the regular one was still very good. My opu was definitely full after this super delicious meal!

  • Angie S.

    The Stuffed French Toast is incredible! I was very surprised by how the portions are actually very large. I could only finish two pieces. My friend and I could have definitely shared one order. We arrived an hour before closing so there weren't that many people in the restaurant. Our orders came very fast and the service was quick and attentive. We will definitely be back soon to enjoy more stuffed French toast and possibly try other dishes !

    Went on a Sunday, around 915am. Wait wasn't too bad. There were like 5 parties before us and seems like we waited just under 20 min wait. Service was good. Gentlemen who help us, got our order and drinks fast. Top off our drinks frequently. I ordered the Extreme Mess. It was okay, I wasn't too expressed. Serving size was amazing. Brought home left overs. A place worth Trying!

    Came here on a Wednesday morning around 930. A small 5 minute wait which wasn't bad. It was hot out and no where to really sit and wait so we waited in our car. Luckily there wasn't many people here so parking was plentiful. They share a small lot with other stores so I can see how parking could be an issue. We were seated against the big window by the entrance and the sun was beaming on my back! Even though they had a pull down shade it didn't help that the shade was off white and still allowed sun light to come in. I switched seats with my husband and my chair had a bunch of rips and tears in it. It reminded me of those padded chairs in school that if there was a rip it would pinch your legs when wearing a dress or shorts (which I was). While waiting for our food the restaurant started to fill with smoke and they had to prop the front door open. After a few minutes of staring down our server he finally came over and asked if we were ready. He looked irritated as if he just got stiffed from his last customer but dude don't take it out on us! I ordered the corn beef hash Benedict, hubby ordered the messy omelet, and we got 1 piece of stuffed blueberry French toast to share. Food came out in a timely matter and after a few bites into my Benedict I just couldn't eat it anymore. Talk about SALTY! Now I'm all about flavor but way to boost your cholesterol! Thinking if was just my food I made the hubby switch me dishes and his wasn't as salty as mine but still on the salty side nonetheless. The stuffed french toast made up for the other two dishes. Too bad we only got a piece to share. Would I come back for the French toast alone? Maybe. But this place can hold the sun, chair, smoke, bad service, and salt. Sorry I really wanted to like this place but not a fan.

    Probably one of the best brunches we had on the island. It's kind of hidden on a mini shopping plaza but it's definitely worth the wait and visit. even on a weekday there was a bit of a wait, we waited 15-20 mins which wasn't too bad. Blueberry stuffed French toast: 5/5 absolutely delicious. It had a tasty cream cheese and blueberry filling which tasted great. It gave a great flavor and it wasn't too dense and heavy. The outside was battered nicely and the toast was definitely soft and lightly crispy. Kalua pork Benedict: 5/5: perfectly poached eggs with tasty Kalua pork. The pork was tasty and not tough at all. The hollandaise sauce, the egg and pork all went well together. Definitely getting this again next time! A great brunch place, it's worth another visit next time I visit Oahu. Total for 2: $ 30

    Waited 45mins outside for a table. One of the male servers came outside to take peoples orders so, when we did get a table our food wouldn't take that long. Sure enough our name was called, and we had our drinks that we ordered at our table waiting. Our food came within the next 5 mins. We ordered the blueberry stuffed French toast which was highly recommend on yelp, and it was DELICIOUS!! We could not finish it all, so we took it to go. We also got the corn beef has Benedict and fried rice. FRIED RICE WAS TO DIE FOR! Homemade corn beef is always a plus too. Lastly we had the kalua omelet. The kalua in the omelet was vary flavorful, but the eggs it self was bland. I'm giving this place 4 stars because the table was dirty when we sat down. The chairs had food from the previous guess, and our cream container had ham and cheese stuck to the bottom of it. It was vary put-offish.

    Sweet E's is definitely my current favorite spot for breakfast on the island. While there is almost always a wait, it's well worth it once you're inside the cozy little restaurant. Parking can be difficult on weekdays, as you can only park in the kilohana square parking lot, the lot behind is only for sweet E's weekend parking. Their specialty is definitely the stuffed French toast, but they also do a mean eggs Benedict. While it has the typical "American" brunch menu, there are little local twists on all the usual suspects, like the kalua pig eggs benny and the "Hawaiian" omelette (which -hooray!- doesn't have pineapple) The fried rice is delicious and I would recommend paying the extra $1.50 for the fried rice upgrade. I suggest trying to get here before 8:30 if you don't want a long wait. Otherwise, come prepared with sun protection or something cause the wait can be longer than an hour... They do only have room for about 30 at a time.

    A group of us decided to meet for breakfast as we were recently discussing our Yelp badge count. Yikes! I realized that I was the "low-man on the Totem Pole"... so, my fellow Yelpies decided to help each other out by grabbing breakfast together for that "elusive" Breakfast Club badge. My husband and I were the first to arrive at Sweet E's this morning and as soon as I checked in, I received comments back saying that we were supposed to check in TOGETHER. Tsk, how was I supposed to know that?? Anyway, we reserved a table for 4 then found out our foursome had expanded to 8. The restaurant was steadily filling up and a line had formed outside with other hungry Monday morning eaters. I want to thank our waiters for being so patient and accommodating to play "Dining Tetris" with us. We were served piping-hot cups/mugs of coffee and large glasses of iced water along with place settings. Our waiter took our orders once were all seated. During the short wait for our food to arrive, the waiters were refilling our coffee and water glasses. Then out came our food... - Banana stuffed French Toast was my choice. There were 3 thick slices of butter toasted, custardy soft bread encasing a mix of naturally sweet bananas. I didn't even need syrup...it was perfect for my taste. - My husband customized his omelet by ordering Portuguese sausage (linguiça), cheddar cheese and green onions. The omelet was fluffy and packed with the sausage combination. His omelet included toast (he chose sourdough) and hash browns. He added a side of Sweet E's signature corned beef hash that he insisted that he'd share with me. What? Share? Um I only got 2 forkfuls and then the next time I gazed at his plate, it was CLEAN, right down to the white of the plate! Everyone enjoyed their selections as we fell silent while focusing on eating our breakfasts. We even received the bonus of a shiny Breakfast Club badge while enjoying each others company and our delicious breakfasts.

    Oh, so good. I had the blueberry filled french toast and it was delicious. I was a bit worried it would be really sweet, but it was actually just right. It comes with 3 hefty slices of french toast. The wait for Sweet E's Cafe can be pretty long, but they were pretty good about getting our orders while we were waiting so that when we sat down, it was only a few minutes before our meals arrived.

    I just started coming to this place for breakfast last week. I came twice but I plan on coming here more often. Besides the long lines and small parking space, the food, price and service are great here. I ordered the platter with the eggs, choice of meat and choice of starch. I ordered my usual at every breakfast place: scrambled eggs, Portuguese sausage and pancake. I love having a little bit of everything. Also the pancake was yummy. It didn't taste like any normal pancake. It was fluffy and there was a hint of cinnamon or nutmeg. My dish was under $10. Price is great. Service is also great here. As much as I was drinking, they were refilling my water and coffee often. And we received our check right away when we asked for it. The ambiance was relaxing with casual music playing. I can't wait to try some other dishes here.

    They never answer their phones to take phone orders.. I'd say, I would call them every time I'm in the area (3x a week) and they NEVER answer. If they don't allow take-outs then they should state that..

    This is one of my favorite brunch spots on the island. I always look forward to coming here, and I always leave feeling happy and full. The cafe is very small, and the decorations are homey and quaint, suiting the vibe of the place very well. The food is great, and I'll get to that in a second. What sets this place apart from all the other brunch places I go to is, hands down, the wonderful service. I always see the same guys working here, and there are only about two guys working at a time even when it's packed. They're great. They do everything from greeting you, seating you, bussing, and waiting... And they do it all with a very positive and welcoming attitude. I feel very happy and at ease when I eat here mainly because of the service. Now for the food. I'm sure many people have raved about this, but I'll say it again: GET THE BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE FRENCH TOAST. And their Benedict. Any Benedict. The omelets are great too. I usually get a Benedict, my boyfriend gets an omelet, and we split the French Toast. We usually split everything, and never eat everything, so we always have delicious leftovers for later. Pros: 1. SERVICE 2. Food quality 3. Food QUANTITY 4. Ambience Cons: 1. Location (parking can be tough on weekends) 2. Bathroom located outside of restaurant (but they're easy to find!) All in all, a fantastic experience every time despite the cons!

    I ordered the blueberries and cream Stuffed French toast. It was sooooo Delicious!!!! Best thing on the menu you have to try! Also the fried rice is really flavorful. Thumbs up. Food wise everything is great. But staff could improve on being more friendly and work on greetings.

    It was 7 o'clock in the morning and I had just landed back in the country from a trip to Japan for spring break. I was so jet lagged, I almost felt drunk walking off the airplane, but nope; that's just how tired I was. I had fallen asleep for the whole flight and didn't eat anything for the past 7 hour... I WAS HUNGRY!! My amazing boyfriend woke up early that morning just to pick me up from the airport :) my stomach was raging with furry :S the first thing we decided to do, was grab some breakfast! I've never been to Sweet E's Cafe before, but Tyler is a regular here. He's always introducing me to new yummy shops. We swung by in the morning and it was fairly busy considering that it was a Friday and a bit earlier in the morning. But a big crowd means they must be doing something right. We waited for about 15 minutes to sit down (not too shabby) I'm a sucker for good coffee and breakfast foods, so this was right up my alley. It wasn't hard for me to make my decision on what to order. Anytime a restaurant's menu has fried rice... That's where I'm at! And I always have to get the mandatory side of bacon... I ordered the 2 Eggs cooked your way with a side of meat. Tyler, like ALWAYS... Ordered his favorite... Eggs Benedict. I can't exaggerate enough when I say he always orders it.. That's probably got to be his favorite breakfast of all time. Anytime we go to eat somewhere that serves breakfast, I already know what he's getting. We decided to share some waffles because we were super excited about the menu, so we needed to try it! We ordered it with extra strawberries :) Our food came out in a timely matter, gave Tyler and I just enough time to catch up a little since I'd been away for so long. We just talked, and joked around,, the usual. Even admired our servers uniform because they get to sport a nice aloha shirt and snap back ($wag) Let me tell you, when our food came out, my jaw kind of dropped to the floor. I had to pick it back up before I began eating :P the fried rice was fire!! So delicious. And the strawberry waffle was PERRFECT. They were slightly crispy. Enough so that there was a light crunch, but when you'd bite down on a piece, it felt like you were biting down into a cloud that melted in your mouth.. Mmmm Doesn't get better that that. Those waffles were gone within a matter of seconds. I highly recommend this little cafe! If you enjoy casual music, enjoying coffee, and eating delicious breakfasts, then you will love Sweet E's.

    One word. Disappointed. I had high expectations for Sweet E's but they just didn't live up to it. I ordered the Hawaiian omelet w/hashbrowns and it was just alright. It wasn't spectacular like I wanted to eat it all over again. I only wish they seasoned their hashbrowns a little bit because it was just plain bland. The service was also kinda slow. It took them foreverrrr to take our order. I think I'll stick to Cream Pot for breakfast.

    I finally gave this place a try. The location is Kilohana Square Shopping Center. You have to enter through Kihei street because it's one way in only. What a cute & cozy shopping rectangle. Sweet E's cafe is on your right in the corner. Kristin Wood's eyebrow place is on the same area upstairs. There was a line so the wait was about 30 minutes. I got the menu & decided what I wanted to try. I ordered blueberry French toast bread, spinach feta omelette & everyday breakfast. I like the spinach feta omelette the best. It was homemade style. Servers were efficient & friendly. Price is good too.

    If you're ever in Oahu for a trip, Sweet E's is the place to be! But first, let me just point out that parking is a nightmare. They have the tiniest lot behind the restaurant and I seriously had to make a 5-point turn just to back into a space. It's just SO cramped. There were already a number of groups waiting when we arrived on Sunday afternoon. We waited around 40 minutes for a party of 3. The place itself isn't that big, but the turnaround time is pretty fast. OKAY PEOPLE. If you like corned beef, get their Corned Beef Hash Eggs Benedict ($12.95)!! The best benedict I've had thus far. Don't know how they cook up their corned beef, but it's perfection. Everyone at the table loved it! We also couldn't resist and got BOTH of their Enchanting French Toasts -- banana and blueberries with cream cheese ($8.95 each). Both very creative and delicious. Now that I'm back on the mainland, I can't help but keep a lookout for a similar benedict dish. So far no luck..... :( AMAZING food with friendly service. Keep doing your thing, guys.

    Brunch food is the best food! Finally got to try Sweet E's. We got there at around 11 and by the time we signed up, there were four other parties ahead of us. We grabbed a menu and stood nearby to wait. The initial wait didn't take too long. Maybe about 7 minutes? We came at a good time. Ordering was quick and efficient because we had already known what we wanted! Waiting for the food took longer than I thought but wasn't terrible. With good company, waiting is no big deal. I ordered the breakfast burrito with Portuguese sausage ($8.95). I love breakfast burritos and this one did not disappoint! The salsa that was paired with it was yummy and added a lot of flavored. However, without the salsa and/or ketchup, the flavor is kind of underwhelming. I'm glad I love salsa and ketchup. My friends' food came out good too. We also all split the blueberry cream cheese stuffed French toast. Yummy, but overhyped! I'm not a HUGE French toast fan but cream cheese and lots of blueberries... :) Would come back again!

    This was probably my favorite breakfast spot while I was in Hawaii. It's a very small cafe, so I'm sure the lines get insane over the weekends. Thankfully, I came here early on a weekday morning, and the wait time wasn't too bad for our party of 6. I ordered their chicken pesto omelette and our table also ordered the stuffed french toast to share. The omelette was delicious. The eggs were light and fluffy, and it was just the right amount to balance out the inside of the omelette. Chicken was perfect--not dry at all, and went beautifully with the pesto! I probably could have eaten another one. The potatoes that came with the omelette were also delicious, and had just the right texture. Solid, solid dish. The stuffed french toast looked great as well, but since I'm mildly allergic to blueberries, I didn't get a taste of the inside. The bread was soft and chewy with a slight toasted crunch--perfect in my opinion. I was expecting it to be almost soggy, but nope, and I only wish I could have had a complete bite with the blueberries and everything else inside. Customer service was spot on, and overall, I had a wonderful experience here. Definitely coming back the next time I'm in Hawaii.

    Location: It is located in a shopping center right off Kapahulu Avenue called Kilohana. There is a florist and boutiques next to this restaurant. Parking is limited and the parking spaces are small. The parking attendants are awesome and will direct you to the next available parking stall. Wait Time: We arrived on a Holiday around 9:30am. We waited outside for half an hour. There is one bench right outside of the restaurant. There is no space to wait inside of the restaurant. Food: There famous blueberry and cream cheese stuffed french toast was delicious. I also ordered side fried rice. It was okay but I felt like it was drenched in Shoyu. My sister ordered the chicken pesto omelette. It was definitely a unique omelette. Service: Service was awesome! The guys were friendly, punctual and helpful. Bathroom: The bathrooms need to be opened with a key so ask them for the keys. The bathrooms are located outside. Overall, I'm glad I finally tried this place. I enjoyed my stuffed French Toast.

  • Trung L.

    THIS PLACE GETS BUSY QUICK!!!!! COME EARLY OR EXPECT A 40 MINUTES WAIT TIME. With that said, came here on a Sunday for Brunch at 11, waited about 20 minutes for a table for 2. I had the Kalua pulled pork Eggs Benedict (MUST TRY), while my girlfriend had the Fruit French Toast. Kulua Pulled porkEggs Benedict came with hashbrowns, the poach eggs was a bit overcooked, but it was was still good, and the Hollandaise sauce wasnt too runny. The best part was the Pulled pork, OMG it was good. I would definitely give this place another visit if I was ever back on the island. I didnt get to try my girlfriend's French toast, but it looked good.

    After wanting to try this place for about a year my girlfriend and I made our way down on July 3. It's located in the same shopping center as Mr. Ojisan and a few other shops. We put our name down and the wait began, about 30 minutes later it was our turn to be seated! When you walk in you notice some nice decorations and a real feeling of being at someone's home. Pictures decorate the wall, closely spaced tables, a full length mirror on the far wall gives it the impression of actually being a larger room than it is. We were seated as we walked in and given a couple of menus, our drink order was taken while we looked over the menus. Having seen many pictures of the Stuffed French Toast I decided I had to try it. My girlfriend ordered an omelette with potatoes and toast. As we waited for our food I enjoyed a nice ice coffee. Onto the food! I had kind of gave up on trying to find a good stuffed French toast after being disappointed at the last few places I tried it at. This one changed my mind, just enough filling that you get some in every bite :). My girlfriend enjoyed her omelette and I my French toast. We will be bringing some of our friends with us the next time we decide to have breakfast here! The sign inside is right, after eating your eyes will become sleepy and you'll want a nap lol

    This is my favorite breakfast place here, though I have to say off the bat that my least favorite thing about it is that it seems to be everyone's favorite breakfast place. There's always a really long wait, and the parking is nuts. Thank god this place is walking distance from my home. Their entrees are affordable, yet the portions are good and delicious. I usually get their chicken & spinach omelet because it's delicious and healthy, but their blueberry french toast is the best thing on the menu, and I get it whenever I feel like indulging. If you want something savory, their breakfast burrito is really good as well. The wait is long, but once you get seated the food comes out pretty quickly. It looks like they're usually well-staffed. This place is just super popular, so the wait is always long.

  • Monica B.

    3.5 stars. The wait is no joke! Came with friends on Sunday around noon, and waited about an hour. We all shared the blueberry creamcheese french toast, and I had the breakfast burrito. Everything was good, but unfortunately did not blow me away. Portions were generous, however, and service was super friendly.

    We loved this place..and we're pretty picky. Went there twice while staying in Honolulu. Both times for breakfast. Great food all cooked to order, reasonable prices, nice atmosphere with lots of light. Wait staff was very friendly. It's a little off the beaten track about 1.5 miles from Waikiki but well worth the walk, bus ride or drive.

    I go to places by suggestions of my friends and almost always say "I liked it but wouldn't make an effort to come back". But I really need to come back here! Food is what I call simple fancy. Atmosphere: Quaint, clean, nice decor, clean, larger on inside than it looks from the outside, comfortable, and did I mention clean? Service: A+ Servers are genuinely friendly and attentive. FOOD!: omg omg OMG can we say Blueberry Cream Cheese French Toast? Then let's say it again. Blueberry Cream Cheese French Toast! Brought home the leftovers so I get to enjoy it again! Would I return? Would I recommend? BIG YES!

    From French toast to omlettes to their Extreme Mess, it all good man. Service was cool, food was great and atmosphere was pleasant. I had the extreme mess which is everything like sausage,peppers, etc all thrown into a huge scrambled egg. My wife had the chicken pesto omlettes which was actually pretty damn good. We shared French toast with lilikoi butter and that itself was worth the trip. It a must do for anyone who loves a good breakfast.

  • Paul A.

    We had the Stuffed French Toast, pancakes, pesto chicken omelet, and the mess with 2 coffees and a juice for $43 before tip. The food was good, not great, not even impressive, just over all good which is a good thing. Won't be rushing back to this spot but it is very charming and clean. It's not denny's or ihop that is for sure. Not loaded with tourists so that's good. A great place for a nice weekend lunch or brunch and like I said, good food and charming place usually wins most people over. Service wasn't great nor was it bad, but it's breakfast so usually a smile and a refill of coffee is suffice! Would recommend and probably return in a few months!

    Like I said to get all excited about. Just an average overpriced place to eat. Yah the stuffed French toast was ok great - needed probably to be soaked in batter cause it was dry but yeh it was alright. Decor was cute loved the huge mirror. I really though the restaurant was long until I noticed the reflection of the good looking waiter. Lol. Great service not forced.

    This is our local breakfast spot. The food is always delicious, the price isn't too high and the service is fast and polite! Try to go as early as you can because this place fills up quickly! When waiting for a table, watch out for the shopping center security guard who gets annoyed when you don't stand exactly where you want. He is the reason that this isn't a five star review!

  • Tammie C.

    I kept seeing my friends check in to this place on Yelp and Facebook over and over again. Each time I saw a check in on my news feed, I thought...OK...I'll have to check this place out soon. So when even my Hubby mentioned he wanted to try it, I knew NOW was the time! Funny factoid about my husband. He DOESN'T look it at all...but he's a DORK. Now by dork I mean he's one of those people that researches like there's no tomorrow on places we will be going to. He'll search for information on Yelp, You Tube, Blogs, Newspapers, Websites, Trash Cans....ha ha...ok I haven't caught him with the trash cans....YET. Don't get me wrong...he's actually saved us TONS of money (i.e. buying our Lego Land, Sea World, San Diego Zoo tickets all on eBay which saved us about $200). He'll know the ins and outs of places, best places to eat, secret gems that the ordinary visitor may miss. The only time it bugs me...is well when our family is planning on going on a cruise NEXT SUMMER and I'm having to second hand watch You Tube videos of every single family that has gone on this cruise and uploaded their family video to You Tube. But anyways! My point is, when my Hubby suggests a place to eat...I know he's done his research, and the place should be the bomb dot com. I also know, that he'll know the top dishes to order...so we normally just order a couple and share. We had the: Blueberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast ~ Hubby ordered this for everyone to share. I figured I'd try just 1 bite, because french toast is like pancakes to me. Sure I like a couple bites, maybe 2-3 pieces...but anything more is too much for me. Well let me tell you...this was SO MOUTHWATERING! It wasn't too sweet...it was perfect. Corned Beef Hash Eggs Benedict ~ This was my favorite dish that I tried. Luckily it was also the dish that I had the most of. Again, I'm not a huge fan of Eggs Benedict...EXCEPT for the crab cake one at Cinnamon's and now this one from Sweet E's. The sauce was perfection, and I'm glad I ordered their hash browns with it. It was a giant gamble for me, because I'm such a white rice girl! Hawaiian Omelette ~ A family member had this, but let me sample. I definitely want to try an omelette the next time we go there. I love how fluffy and perfect looking their omelettes are prepared. I'm such a picky person when it comes to eggs. I don't like my eggs to be in any way browned/burnt. The fluffier, the better...and this omelette looked like an egg pillow! Absolute Mess ~ (Omelette with a 'mess' of veggies and meats). Hubby ordered this for himself, it was pretty good...but not my favorite. We both agreed the Corned Beef Hash Eggs Benedict was our favorite so far. --------------------------------------------------­--------------------------------------------------­----------------- Reason I'm giving only 4 stars? - I was absent the day they handed out patience. If there's a line for something, especially to eat...I am 99% not game to wait. The only time I will wait, is if we're with a group of friends/family that have picked the place and I don't really have a choice....or if we've heard such RAVE reviews. Which in this case it was both. We got there when it opened at 7:00 a.m. (That is madness to me because I'm a night owl, and so not a morning person...so I'm already slightly grouchy because it's a weekend...a day I don't have to wake up that early! But according to my Hubby's "research" this place is always packed...so he wanted to go once it opened. There also isn't anywhere to sit down to wait inside or outside of the restaurant. Luckily we found a nice shady place to wait right across, near a furniture store. Everyone else was waiting in the direct sun. Parking in Kilohana Square is tight! If you're lucky to find a space...most of the shops were closed at 7:00 a.m...yet their parking lot was practically full. If you go, I back my Hubby's suggestion in going once they open. It wasn't too bad...we were the 4th group to put our name on their waiting list, and waited about 20 minutes. ~ All in all, this place is one of my favorite breakfast places on the island. Only thing that discourages me is the wait time. Servers were all very friendly and the food was scrumptious! PICTURES UPLOADED: yelp.com/biz_photos/swee… yelp.com/biz_photos/swee…

    Went here for brunch on a Saturday, we arrived around noon and were seated by 12:30. The staff is very attentive and friendly and service was quick. I ordered the kalua pork benedict, my girlfriend got the banana stuffed french toast with a side of bacon. Both were prepared well, the plating was nice and most importantly they tasted amazing. The price is very fair for the amount of food served and the taste is well worth the wait. I will be back.

    I absolutely love this little place. I recommend it to everyone. If you love breakfast as much as I do, you'll probably love this place too. My favorites are the blueberry cream cheese stuffed French toast and the extreme mess scramble. All the servers are super friendly and even though it's a small place and always busy, the wait is never too bad.

  • Lily B.

    I'd love to find a spot on Oahu with some awesome breakfast... unfortunately for me, I'm still on the hunt. I've read great reviews about Sweet E's Cafe, so the BF and I checked it out. On Kapahulu Ave with a VERY tiny parking lot. We opted to find street parking and just walk over. Not in an area or building that I expected, but once you walk through the doors you forget about all that... because the restaurant is SOOOOO adorable!!! Albeit VERY tiny, but I looooved the ambiance. Staff was friendly as well which is always a plus! We were seated right away (lucky us!) and a waiting list formed after we ordered. The BF and I shared blueberry and cream cheese stuffed french toast. It looked delicious, especially after seeing the oozing middle once cut in half... but the taste was just okay. I was expecting a major foodgasm... which never happened. $8.95 yelp.com/user_local_phot… The BF got the corned beef hash eggs benedict with hash browns (smiley face in the photo courtesy of him lol). He really enjoyed this. I have NEVER tried corned beef hash (I just don't like it visually) but he made me try his breakfast because I'm a sucker for eggs benedict... and it was not bad. I had the tiniest piece of corned beef hash. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the hollandaise sauce was on point. He ate it all! $11.95 yelp.com/user_local_phot… I ordered a side of fried rice and a side of link sausage. The fried rice was lacking flavor... big time. We both ate a bite and that was it. The sausage was a bit dry... I can't remember the cost since both of these were side orders and I just had them put it onto the same plate. yelp.com/user_local_phot… All in all, an okay breakfast. Service was good, however it did slow at the end and it took us a while to get a box, our check, and cash out. Glad we gave it a try... but it's not a place we would go out of our way to dine at again.

    Amazing food. The things I crave every morning is all on the menu at Sweet E! After a hang over I know where to go to get the best grinds out there! The staff is very welcoming.

    I decided my family would eat here after I saw the great reviews on Yelp, and they were right! My family went on a Wednesday right before we went to the Aloha Stadium Swapmeet, the day we had a car. It was about an 8 minute drive from Waikiki. We got there at about 9ish am and had NO WAIT! We got there right in time, because as soon we sat, a crowd of people came in and had to wait! OMG! I had the Corn Beef Hash Egg Benedict.. let me tell you... A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! My fiance had an omlette, and he said it was hands down top 3 omlettes he has ever had in his life. Friendly staff, short wait for food. Looks like a whole in the wall from the outside, but very cute and relaxing inside. Definitely one of the best food spots we ate during our vacation!

  • Shawny R.

    We had breakfast here this morning and of course we expected a wait. It wasn't too long! When we got in, we knew exactly what we were ordering... The stuffed French toast! It was delicious! However, the reason I'm giving a mediocre review is because our server (local guy) was horrible. He didn't offer us coffee, refill our water, or check on our table at all! The table next to ours came in after us & got their food before us. He helped all the tables around us. It made us, a measley party of 2, feel unwelcomed & a nuisance. The reason the review is in the middle is because it's not every day you see an owner of a restaurant work their butts off in the front of the house. Luckily, she came to our table & rescued and remedied the situation. I honestly felt as though she heard our concerns and took them to heart. I will return because her great attitude deserves a second chance!

    You almost don't wanna give a rave review and blow this spot up even more than what it already is..... WE LOVE THIS SPOT!!!! Im addicted to their breakfast burrito. They have really good hashbrowns and omelettes too. As opposed to the short-shorts waitresses in most casual restaurants in Hawaii, the servers always seem to be these super-friendly, tough-looking local boys which I always find hilarious. I know our gf's appreciate this. Only drawback is the wait to get a table... which is totally worth it.

    I've been here twice including this morning. Both times my wife and I have gotten the hash Benedict and blueberry, cream cheese stuffed French toast. Never disappoints. We never make Benedict at home so when we go out for breakfast that is what we order. I will tell you that there is something very special about their hollandaise sauce--thick and creamy with just the right amount of flavors. We're crazy about it. Best we've had on the island. The service is really good with just the right amount of "laid back." My coffee was hot and always filled. The ohana feeling was whirling around the place. The servers knew most everyone that walked in. People from other tables were conversing with one another about food and what not. Very inviting vibe. This is a must try. Opens at 7am so get in early. Place is popular and fills quickly.

This place is definitely becoming my new favorite breakfast spot! Expect a wait. Lot parking, both in front and behind the restaurant and street parking. If you love breakfast, check it out!

    There's a long wait to get inside, especially if you go on a Sunday morning, but this is the cutest little place on Kapahulu. In its defense, a long wait seems to be the case with good breakfast places. I got the french toast stuffed with blueberries and cream cheese. You guys, it's honestly one of the best things because it's sweet and creamy and filling. It's like a better blueberry danish -- one you're allowed to eat for a meal. My boyfriend got a side of french toast stuffed with bananas, but he reported that it's definitely not as good as the blueberry. He said his corned beef eggs benedict didn't even compare. Our bill came out to around $30, and that's including two entrees, one side, and two refillable iced coffees, so it gets a thumbs up from me!

    A super inviting and home-y restaurant! This place serves traditional American breakfast with a Hawaiian spin to it. Service is moderately fast as the food normally comes out within 10-15 minutes with a full house. This place is extremely popular so you might need to wait 5-10 minutes outside until a table is done. This restaurant offers breakfast and lunch as well, the breakfast menu is available all day. Though this place tingles my taste buds harmoniously, the price isn't cheap- but you do pay for quality!

    Please open a bigger restaurant or another location! It's too good, but it's a struggle to have to wait so long for a table... especially in the morning. I always order the fried rice, coffee, and the blueberry cream cheese french toast. Can't past that up!

    I jus ate at sweet e's and let me tell u that damn the wait on sun was horrible n hot. Although once we sat down and ate it was so worth it! The service came with choke aloha n really good breakfast. The waiter even let is look at the menu and order while we waited outside in the back parking lot, so as soon as we sat down our food was being put down in front of us. Frickin awesome, and it defenaitly expedited us in n out of there. I'll prob try n come on a weekday thou wen I'm off or something, whenever that is. Haha because the wait in the sun was a bit ridics. All in all thou the food was def grindz!!

    Ordered a kalua pig eggs benedict with rice and stuffed french toast to go this morning. The kalua pig is smoky and goes perfectly with their tangy hollandaise. The french toast with blueberries and cream cheese is delicious. This place definitely would have been a go to breakfast place except for one thing. They gave me hard cold rice. Imagine refrigerated rice scooped onto a to-go plate. Hard and brittle. You don't serve the old rice you use for fried rice!!!! You don't mess with an asian and their rice!!!!!!!!! This was a major no-no!!!!!!! I won't be back. Good riddance.

    Simply amazing! A great place to have brunch with friends after a long hike. For me, it was the perfect breakfast after the Great Aloha Run! A few recommendations: Come early or late (around 12:00)! This restaurant is insanely popular. My group arrived at 11:30 a.m. and we waited for about 45 minutes (but it's totally worth it). Get the corn beef hash eggs benedict! Probably one of the best breakfast dishes ever. For those who are sensitive to spices, my friend (who believes that Curry House's curry is spicy) thought that the benedict was quite peppery. The following link shows the spices on top of the hollandaise sauce. yelp.com/biz_photos/swee… However, I thought it was pretty mild, so I would still highly suggest this dish. If you have a sweet tooth, try their french toast stuffed with blueberry cream cheese! There's a private parking lot in the back of the restaurant, but there should be a parking attendant to direct you to an available parking spot. Bottom line: The service is always great, and I'm never disappointed with the food when I come here. Everyone compares Sweet E's Cafe and Cafe Kaila, but I really think they're both equally great -- they just have their own specialty.

    Burp! Yumm! Umami! Delish! A very cozy breakfast place, staff is nice, place is clean. Food is definitely very good! I was sooo stuffed. I had the belgian waffles no fruit.. t'was very filling and loved every bite. I wish this was in california, but this will be one of the delicious memories ill forever cherish.

  • Jean-Arellia T.

    I don't usually like stuffed French toast, but had to try it here after all my family recommended it. Glad I got it! It's really all about that and the kalua Benedict. For 2 people, that was good enough to share and enjoy!

    Just went there today and got a banana stuffed French toast with extra strawberry and my boyfriend got extreme mess. I was surprise when his food came out. The portion was huge! He always finishes his food but today he had to box it. I loved the French toast! I love banana! This was my second time here and I still love this place. The service was nice. The local server was super friendly to the japanese tourist and I thought that was nice. Good for local and tourist.

    Definitely one of my favorite breakfast places!!! There is usually a wait on weekends, but it's well worth it! The staff is always very friendly and they fill up your water and coffee very frequently! I like to switch things up when it comes to eating and I have never been disappointed with their food. The extreme mess is my go to when I can't decide. Their cornbeef and hash eggs bennidict is awesome! And their stuffed French Toast is amazing!!! If you want something for a few bucks less, I suggest the Bagel Sandwich, which is also very scrumptious!!! I always look forward to eating here and can't wait till my next stop!! Mmmmm...

    I now have a breakfast place i can go to! Sweet E's is a very adorable breakfast cafe. I finally got the chance to come here, and being it was on a Sunday morning, i was almost ready to Yelp up another place eat before even being there because i hear the wait can be long. Thank goodness I didn't waste my time because there was only 1 other person before us so we waited only about 10 min before being seated! i already knew what i wanted before we even got there so there was no need for a menu. I ordered the corned beef hash eggs benedict with hash browns. must say, those were the best eggs benedict and hash browns i have ever purchased. everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned. something i'd come back for again and again. the hash browns were also perfectly browned and crisp'd. my friend ordered the blueberry stuffed french toast which he said was yummy. i had a bite of it and agreed. service here is also friendly. now that i know i like this place, i'll be back especially since i live so close!

    Since that first breakfast, I keep coming back here!...each time I've had the corned beef eggs benedit...but today I changed! I had the kalua pig benedict..and YES! It was another winner!...my healthy girlfriend ordered the spinach and tomato benedict..it was good too. Guess I'll keep returning until I've tried everything!

  • Ashley D.

    I got here at 12:30 to eat the famous blueberry and creamcheese french toast. I waited outside for about 15 minutes and it was worth the delicious food. Aside from the blueberry and cream cheese french toast, we also ordered an omelette with garlic, spinach, mushrooms, feta cheese, and tomatoes. Everything was delicious!

    Sweet E's was not up to our expectation. We came early in the morning excited to try out their breakfast (we got the messy plate, beef hash eggs benedict and kalua pig eggs benedict) but nothing stood out for us. The hollandaise sauce on the Benedict were too cheesy for our taste (however, if you like that, go for it!) and the beef hash was a bit on the saltier side. The service wasn't too good--there was two guys coming around cleaning tables and taking orders, but other than that they didn't ask us about the food or anything. Also, one guy who took our order didn't look too happy. If you want amazing eggs Benedict and breakfast/brunch in general, try Heavenly on Seaside Ave!

    Bomb French toast. Fruit was so fresh, just picked flavor. My only regret is I had it on the way to the airport. But I'll be back.. Mahalo!

    When I was in Japan, I heard a lot about Sweet E's and was very excited to try it. This is a very popular brunch place so it's always crowded. From my experience, there is usually an hour long wait before I get seated... but it's almost worth it because the food is absolutely delicious (and maybe more so because I'm always starving after the wait). I've tried their burrito (you can customize it!) as well as their french toast stuffed with blueberries and cream cheese. My friends ordered the omelets and corned beef hash eggs benedict. The corned beef hash eggs benedict was so good that I couldn't stop picking off my friend's plate (something I NEVER do)... and it kept me coming back for a second visit so that I could order it myself. I also can't get enough of their hash browns! They're made with the perfect amount of crispiness and softness, the way all hash browns should be made. The service was not the terrible, but it wasn't the best either. During my first visit, the waiter got the check wrong (he overcharged us) but he didn't apologize for it. During my second visit, the waiter got my friend's dish wrong but also wasn't very apologetic about it. But it's not a big deal, I understand that it's pretty hectic so mistakes can be made. Because the food is amazing, I would have loved to give it five stars. Unfortunately, it's not really an atmosphere where you can really sit back, relax, and enjoy the food because of the service and pressure to leave (because there's always a crowd waiting outside). If you're not in a rush and wouldn't mind the wait (there are cute shops to explore in the vicinity!) I would definitely recommend brunch lovers giving this place a try!

    I've been here on two occasions during this year. Once was an office outing and another was with a friend. I'm impressed with their food, so far all the food I've tried were amazing. I had the epic breakfast burrito with smoked salmon the first time and I enjoyed every single bite of it. The salsa with the burrito was perfect. On the second visit with my friend, I had the chicken pesto omelette with hash brown and my friend ordered the corned beef hash eggs benedict with hash brown. My friend and I shared the food and I ate more of the eggs benedict! The homemade corned beef hash was so good! I still liked the chicken pesto but the the corned beef hash stole the spotlight! Also the hash brown was fantastic, the edges were nice and crispy; perfect consistency! We ordered the plantation iced tea and it was delicious. I normally enjoy unsweetened tea but this iced tea with pineapple juice is an exception. The reasons for four stars are because parking and service. On my first visit, I couldn't get a parking at the lot and had to park on the street the first time, it took a while and my group had to wait for me. For the second time, I was lucky because the lady that directs people to park let me parked right in the lot. I know Sweet E's is very popular so it is very busy. Service was sub-par; I got my chicken pesto order wrong...(gave me a spinach feta at first), didn't apologized when they brought the plate back. They want to turn table, we felt rushed during our meal, the check was dropped when we were halfway eating and they tried to collect my friend's plate when she was still eating. I still want to go back in the future because the food is worth!

    Out-of-town guests are fun because they ask you where to eat; they don't fight you when you select a restaurant; they listen to your suggestions and are agreeable to your recommendations! (Please remember this, future house guests...) Especially when I'm the driver, it's a win-win situation...then they won't get lost and they will be on time! Haha! This was the circumstance today when my high school friend wanted some breakfast. I had wanted to return to Sweet E's in one of the worst ways - even though it's about a 45 minute drive for me from my house. I remember going there with fellow Yelper pal, Lyla & her hubby, about 6 months ago. Since then, I have referred other people to this eatery even though I had only been there once before. It was that good of a First Impression! Finally, I seized the opportunity to have a breakfast at Sweet E's again - and like everyone says, "It did not disappoint"! We had free parking at Kilohana Square. We wrote our name on the list (7 names before us). Got called in after a 30 minute wait. Were served promptly and efficiently (we looked at the menu while we were waiting). Everything looked great and tasted delicious! My friend had the Kalua Pork Eggs Benedict with hash browns that were perfectly crisp on the edges and flavored just right! We shared the homemade corned beef hash - yum! I had the French Toast stuffed with blueberries and cream cheese - no maple syrup necessary!! Everything was excellent - the ambiance, the décor, the food selection, the service, etc. The only thing is that lunch items are served after 11am - so I guess I will have to return again for more ono food - of course, I will go willingly!!

  • Kayla N.

    First off--- the blueberry french toast is the bomb!! If you go here it's the best thing on the menu. The reason I gave this place 3 stars is because it's very small and the service is disappointing. I came here on a Friday with my friend (so there was 2 of us total) Right after we were sat, a large group of at least 8 was sat right next to us. My friend and I knew what we wanted to order almost immediately and closed out menus to let the BUSY servers know we were ready and starving!! But they started catering to the large table next to us. They took their order first (even though my Friend and I were sat 5 minutes before them) and as a result our food came out after theirs as well. I found this to be very annoying as we were starving and had a lot to do that day.

  • Justin R.

    Very small, no frills and very good breakfast spot. Every time I have breakfast I always end up asking myself do I want a savory breakfast or a sweet breakfast? I try to balance it out but majority of the time I end going savory. No disrespect to sweet breakfast items I love you too but when I saw pictures and read about their raving in house Corned Beef, it didn't really take too much convincing. I went with the corned beef benedict and hash. It was everything I dreamed it would be and more. The portion was generous, the corned beef wasn't salty (I feared that it might be) it was just right. I popped my fork into the eggs and out came the brightest yolks. If I could go back in time, having that again Sweet E' is where I'd want to be.

    I'm torn writing this because I don't need any more people waiting in line here... Lots of visitors here at this location, but don't be fooled...the food was excellent and worth the wait! Parking looked a little crowded, but I caught TheBus and was able to get there with less than a two block walk. It was hard to figure out which is better, the blueberry cream cheese or the banana french toast...but they were both EXCELLENT. Service was great, system is simple (sign up clipboard is inside on a small table), and the food was outstanding!

  • Kennard Y.

    A small breakfast menu with fantastic offerings. We got the Blueberry stuffed French Toast and an order of The Extreme Mess which is an egg, sausage and potato scramble. It was awesome. The place is small so it's not unusual to have a wait bit the wait is worth it.

    Food is always on point! Fresh, simple, and delicious all the makings of a great place for brunch. Had the buttermilk pancake and the hubs had Kalua pig eggs Benedict. It's all about the Benedict sauce and theirs is just as good as most. Try not to come here on weekends though bc they're usually packed!

  • Alec F.

    Easily one of my favorite breakfast places in town. The only complaint I've ever had about Sweet E's is that it's a little too small - and really that's not a complaint, it's just that I'm impatient and don't really like waiting around in the parking lot for a half hour to get seated. That being said, it's well worth the wait. Walk in and write your name down to be called, and once you are, order one of everything on the menu - everything I've ever had here has been delicious. What stands out is their blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast. I've never seen anything like it elsewhere, and no matter what meal I get, I end up getting french toast on the side to share. Iced coffee with free refills, amazing breakfast burritos and omelettes, and this cool, mom-and-pop style atmosphere, Sweet E's is a great place for Sunday brunch (or in my case, Tuesday breakfast).

    Easily the BEST breakfast I had during my visit! Before heading out for a day of exploring the island, we needed to fuel up. Yelp led us to Sweet E's and after missing it twice through navigation we spotted the little parking lot and security guard. I put my name down a party of four and we waited outside on a bench for 30 minutes or so. We were all really hungry and started to wonder if the wait would be worth it and perhaps we just go elsewhere for a quick bite. I'm sooooo thankful we didn't act on that because Sweet E's is worth the wait. A tiny little dining room with homey, shabby-chic?? decor where the all-male (and all gorgeous young men) serving staff quickly and efficiently take care of their customers so well that you really want to come back. I swear, it's not just because they're all pleasing to the eye! I had a Portuguese sausage omelette with roasted red potatoes. Everything about my meal was fantastic. The sausage was slightly spicy, tender and juicy and all my ingredients were fresh and perfectly proportioned.And those potatoes, oh those potatoes!! A shared a bit of her blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast and OMG - what a divine dish! I hope visitors, tourists and natives keep frequenting Sweet E's and they are around for a very long time.

    Great local breakfast place. Felt like I was transported back a few decades when I stopped in here, in a good way. Menus were at the table when we were seated, and the coffee arrived about 30 seconds later (and I never had to even think about refills, which just kept showing up). Good food and good portions, and genuinely friendly people running the show. Definitely worth checking out.

  • Dana F.

    I have always questioned where the Instagram posts of big plates and even bigger breakfast foodies were from. This inquiry of mine died down when a close friend of mine took me to Sweet E's for the first time, and I was insanely pleased for a number of reasons! First, they were able to sit the two of us right on the spot. Right when we were seated (around 9), a long line started to formulate. The cafe is fairly small as it seats about 20-30 people, so bringing large groups out here for brunch is not the best idea. (In fact, a lady whom had brought a fairly large group was turned down by a host when she asked if they could move tables. Please, keep this in mind!) Second, the menu prices were unbelievable! I was able to treat both myself and my friend with only $20. After eating her french toast and stuffing my own mouth with omelettes (and its sides), we were very full. We didn't need to eat another meal until dinner came. Third, the atmosphere of the cafe is similar to visiting grandma's old lodge in the countryside -- you should definitely feel at home when you're in here. It's comfortable. Based off experience, the waiters (which are surprisingly all men?) care to do their job -- they aren't about small talk, which I am alright with. Overall, I would and already have recommended Sweet E's to other people, and am very excited for my next visit in Kaimuki!

    We had one of the best breakfasts of our life here. Showed up on a weekday morning around 9:30am, and seated within 15 minutes. The service was quick, and the Stuffed French Toast with cream cheese and blueberries was great. HOWEVER, the meal that blew our socks off was the Eggs Benedict on Corned Beef Hash. I've had a lot of disappointing corned beef hash, so when I took my first bite, I didn't expect to taste one of the best flavors I've ever experienced. The eggs weren't too runny, and the Hollandaise was incredible. Perfect. Seriously. Not to be missed. A definite must stop anytime we're in Oahu.

  • Daisy R.

    Brunch is my all time fave and this homely spot served the perfect breakfast sweets and savory's. What I love most about hawaiian breakfast is how hearty and comforting it is!!! Spam, eggs, fried rice, portuguese sausage, kalua pork eggs benedict.. My oh my...a wonderful selection of home made goodness. What stood out the most for me was the blueberry cream cheese filled french toast. I've only ever had regular french toast in my life until Sweet E's. Who knew that blueberry cream cheese filling would make the icing on the cake?! Its a whole nother level of french toast. Bite after bite my fam of four devoured this shared heavenly sweet. Would love to come back!!!

  • Melody T.

    Really good fried rice! Best corned beef I've ever had! Love that they actually have a parking lot. Free too! When I went (around 9am) there were plenty of spots available. I would def come back, especially since they're just down the street from my house. That is, if I don't choose Kokohead cafe first ;) Lost a star for not having that big of a selection. Their pancakes seems ordinary. Being in Hawaii, I really wanted macadamia nut and banana drizzled with caramel and whipped cream. At least something more than just, plain pancakes.

  • Courtney V.

    I like breakfast, but to me, I really thought all breakfast foods were the same, some better then others, granted, but the same none the less. Sweet E's proved me wrong when I ate their Chicken Pesto Omelet, omg, delicious! Kudos for that huge mirror at the end of the shop (right hand wall when you walk in), I was positive that was another entry way LOL. I'd have walked right into it and not even thought twice. Only down fall, this place is superrrrr small. I would not go when it's packed. Food: Their omelets are where it's at!!! The chicken pesto omelet was just amazinggg. I didn't need anything to put on top, the right amount of saltiness. You'll leave full too. It came with fruits, toast, rice, and the omelet. I also got the French toast, but it was ok, nothing grand, but nothing horrible. I ended up eating only half of everything and being stuffed. Well worth it. Price: The prices were actually reasonable! Usually if you go to a breakfast place food can go up to like $15, here the omelets were all about $10.50 or so. Well worth the price to me! So I can't complain. Parking: Parking isn't so bad, the lot is pretty big, but I did go at 7am so it wasn't crowded yet, even when I left. The stalls are pretty tight, so I actually parked further a way from Sweet E's towards the end. I can imagine how crappy parking is when the lot is packed though!

  • Anne L.

    This place felt like home! Came here with two of my friends and there was a wait but it was really short so we were looking at the menu to decide what we wanted. After like 10 minutes or so, we got seated! I ordered the corn beef hash benedict and that was good but there was too much corn beef x____x The good thing is that they make it themselves! My friends and I shared the blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast. I actually liked this one! Even though I was really full from my food, I still had room for the french toast! I actually would come back here :D

    I am firm believer in the saying "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" and this place can deliver. The wait was around 15-20 minutes on Saturday, but I was glad we waited. The service isn't fantastic, but it didn't matter because I was hungry and ready to eat. We ordered the Corned Beef Hash Eggs Benedict, the Stuffed French Toast, and Hawaiian Omelet. I love corned beef hash and was pleasantly surprised when I tasted it and it was great. The french toast was heavenly, as I love cream cheese. It's a tiny restaurant and couldn't fit more than 30 people, so the wait was long. Also the parking situation isn't ideal because its only 15 minute parking in the lot. Also, my meal came out to around $45 for brunch, it was little pricey, but well worth it because of the flavor. It's a little inconvenient, but I'll probably return when I get a craving for tasty breakfast food again.

    I don't want to be mean but the restaurant from the outside seem like it was going to suck. And then I opened the door and I was like, wow. It was kind of a tight seating arrangement but the decoration was really on point. It was packed that day and that's usually a good sign for a non-chain restaurant. The service was perfect, the waiters are polite, and cute :) I got the corned beef hash with the classic over easy eggs and herb potatoes, and let me tell you those potatoes were awesome. The portion of the food is nice and the price is good too. Definitely coming back, I loved the atmosphere, the local vibe and the waiters :)

    I've been here a couple of times and just came back after 6 months and it was even better than I remember!! The staff was very nice and helpful. I order the french toast which was probably some of the best french toast I've ever had! Very sweet and soft! They use real eggs not liquid eggs and they also served Passion Orange Guava juice...my FAVORITE Hawaii drink by far!! I love this place and will bring any visitors and friends I have here!

  • Roy C.

    My thanks to my co-workers for recommending this place. The food is really really good, and good value for the price. The Banana Stuffed French Toast (three pieces) for $8.95 is Great. Haven't had a chance to try the Blueberry one. The Extreme Mess for $11.25 is 3 scrambled eggs with everything (hash browns, sausage, ham, bacon, onion, scallions, peppers) mixed in. Then, it's topped with cheddar cheese. It was good; but, now that I have had it, I'd like to try other things. Because it's so popular, the wait to get a table can be long. But, it's worth it. When you get there, go inside and write your name down. Then, go outside until they call your name. It's a bit hard to find since you can't see it from the main street. Good thing though, otherwise the line would be twice as long! If I were a resident, this would be my go to breakfast place. Since I don't like to wait in line, I'd try to figure out when they aren't as busy, and go then.

    I've only been to Sweet E's twice but both times have been excellent experiences. The first time was with my BFF for her 25th birthday. We ordered a bunch of food and shared it. Being that it was my first time here, I relied on Yelp for recommendations on what to order. I got the blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast, that was excellent! The second time I came here, I ordered the banana stuffed french toast and my friend ordered the corned beef hash eggs Benedict.. I always seem to like his food more than my own. The banana french toast was AWESOME but there's something about and corned beef hash that you'll just never understand ^__^ The restaurant itself is a cute little place in Kapahulu behind Mr.Ojisan. There's an attendant that'll tell you where to park for Sweet E's..Sometimes they'll tell you to park in the red zone but don't worry, the past times I've been here, a lot of other patrons parked there too so the attendants were watching the cars to make sure they don't get towed. It was a little crowded so we had to wait about 15 minutes.. Not too bad since there are little shops around the area that you could look at. There were two servers working and they can hustle without making you feel like you need to hurry up and eat. Pricing?? Not too bad..Around $9 or so dollars depending on what you get. They'll have specials so make sure to look at the chalkboard sign they have by the kitchen in case you want to try it.

    Amazing! With a semantically pleasing name like Sweet-Es, the food matched up just as well. Make sure to get to this quaint diner before 8:30 am, as the lines start to build and grow shortly afterwards, and for good reason! Despite the packed interior, service was immediate and friendly. The blueberry stuffed French toast, despite after a second look to be simple to make, was so exquisite and scrumptious that despite having all the ingredients at home, I'd much prefer to make the drive to sweet-Es instead. My girlfriend partook in the kalua eggs Benedict, and it was absolutely fantastic. The eggs were perfectly cooked and bled its rich yolk into the biscuit and pork, and i would be hard pressed to find a better way to start the morning than with Sweet-Es.

    Food is amazing! Definitely have to go at least twice because you're gunna want to go back and try more things on the menu. I tried the stuffed blueberry cream cheese French toast because it seemed like that's what everyone got and the eggs benedict was so good. Every component was on point. Thumbs up the the hash browns too! When you walk in, make sure you sign in. It's a long wait. You'll either have to go really really early or an hour before they close for a shorter wait time. Service was not bad. Not a lot of aloha. I said thank you when I was leaving but didn't get a response so I thought maybe they didn't hear whatever. Then my boyfriend said have a great day and still no response. Lol so don't expect too much out of service just enjoy their yummy food and then leave :)

    This is one of the best breakfast spots in town! Everything my husband and I ordered was absolutely delicious. The stuffed French toast was heavenly and the eggs Benedict was tasty. Their customer service was amazing despite being extremely busy. If I ever came back to Hawaii, Sweet E's Cafe would surely be a stop on my list at least twice!

  • Tracy V.

    I had the french toast and the hash benedict. The french toast was really good and comes in three slices. I preferred the banana one more than the blueberry cream cheese. Instead of doing two orders of french toast you can ask to get like 2 banana's and 1 blueberry. Hash eggs benedict was okay. Service was friendly!

    Delicious food. Cute spot. Attentive service. Food is very tasty & seasoned so if you like bland or more simply flavored food this might not be for you. We loved it. All male servers, which made for an efficient & service minded staff. The interior has aged a bit and is not as fresh as previous visits, that could use an update, but it's still nice enough. Parking was easy with attendants guiding those who seemed lost. Overall a great breakfast at a decent cost. They're busy for a reason.

    Coworkers and I wanted to try something new so we decided to try Sweet Es! It was pretty easy to find once you get off the freeway. Parking seemed a little limited but it wasn't so bad when we went around 1030am. There was already a line ahead of us, but only about three people. Got seated within 15 minutes? Anyways, I tried the blueberry stuffed French toast and it was so good and unique! Never had anything like it and would definitely recommend. The others got fried rice, bacon, and eggs, and a kalua pork eggs Benedict. Very nice staff too and a cute setting inside. I would definitely come back!

    Our original destination was Cafe Kalia, but the line was off the hook. Luckily Sweet E's Cafe is around the corner. Tucked away at the top of Kapahulu next to the place I took my Senior Portraits at in the 90s. Parking is a little rough, but the quaint breakfast exp is worth it. It's about a 10 min wait, but there is plenty of shade. The staff is good about allowing people to enjoy their food and turning tables quickly. We had the waffles with a side of Portuguese sausage and the french toast stuffed with cream cheese and blue berries. Whooooooo ono kine! Broke da mout! They are great about attending to you needs, and always top off the water and coffee. This place rocks! Earlier you go the better. Enjoy!

    There's already so many reviews, there's not much more I can write. Maybe just my favorites...I've only been here for BREAKFAST! This is my favorite FRENCH TOAST on this island (Sorry Kaila). Fat, soft, juicy pieces of sweet bread just perfectly coated and cooked. Not too sweet, not too soft. And you can add fresh berries (although at $1.50 I expected a bushel of strawberries, but oh well). POTATOES. I don't even like potatoes. Order them. I'm a rice girl. Order the potatoes. These potatoes are seasoned perfectly and are cooked right. ORDER THE POTATOES. PORTUGUESE SAUSAGE: they are pretty good. At $4.50 for a side, it's a bit steep. I thought it was $2 and it was a steal but then our bill came and I was like WHOA. Whoops. BENEDICTS: yes everyone loves the corned beef hash benedict or the kalua pig benedict or whatever but it wasn't for me. I prefer Anthony's on Maui for the benedicts. It was good. And I mean a plate with corned beef hash, hollandaise sauce and all that can't be too bad. And it's not. But it was too rich for me. Mostly because I think the hollandaise has a lemony sort of kick to it and the muffin/bread part is too sour for me. So sorry, that actually took a star off for now...Perhaps if I make it up with more french toasts I'll add another star back. COFFEE: I don't think it's anything special but I just like their coffee. And free refills. BURRITO: with chicken it's been good. Haven't tried it any other way. Comes with salsa too. It's pretty hefty. But I've gotten a little tired of it. Perhaps we order too much but sometimes for breakfast/brunch it is a $30 affair, which is a tad steep so I'll have to learn how to order smarter otherwise this place will come off the list. I saw people ordering salads and other lunch stuff but none of it looked as good as breakfast! Takes major CREDIT CARDS: Visa/MC, Amex, Discover BATHROOM: get the key and walk out down the parking lot towards the exit and it's on the left PARKING: free parking, small spaces. be careful. Sometimes i see a sign that looks like you can park in an adjacent lot, past the entrance to the normal parking; I'm not sure what that is WAITING: you walk in and put your name down on a pad of paper on the table and wait outside. There are chairs, water and menus. There's just really no space for you to wait inside. We've gone at different times and the wait totally varies. Most tables are for 2 or 4 PEOPLE TABLES. So if you have a big group, good luck because they'll have to wait to free up enough tables. But they're pretty good and try. Super friendly. Wave hello when you see me here. Can't wait for my french toast again!

    It's been over a year since I've wanted to try here! Everyone that had eaten here before me has told me that every item on the menu was uberly delicious! I walked in with extremely high expectations and I was a little disappointed walking out... We were seated (table of four) after waiting for about 15 minutes on a Sunday afternoon. When I first walked in, I was amazed at how big the restaurant was. My friend told me that it was a tiny place that had around 4 or 5 tables. The mirror hanging on the back wall definitely makes the restaurant appear bigger than it really is. I was told to either try the Egg's Benedict or Blueberry pancakes. Instead, I got the stuffed blueberry and cheese french toast. It wasn't as sweet as it looked which was a plus! But after a few bites, all I could taste was bread, bread, and bread! Note to self: order a side of meat when ordering a sweet entree. My bf got the feta and spinach omelet. The feta was a little too overpowering for me but he seemed to enjoy it. I liked the potatoes they served with the omelet. Our other friend commented on the omelet being too "eggy" and not enough meat. My water was pretty much empty throughout my entire meal. It was only filled during my last couple of bites. The staff seemed nice though! Our waitress was pretty quick on giving us the tab when we asked for it. They accept cash and all major credit cards!! :) 31 Yelps Review Challenge - 6/31

    Wholey cow. Finding a parking spot is tricky with the HOARD of people waiting around in the parking lot. They should figure out a way to entertain the 389492842 people who wait FOREVER for a seat. Maybe an outdoor TV. A clown? Flash mobs. Chairs? Once you get in: Super cute decor. Very white and black. Looks like someone's home with framed photos of what I figure are the owner's family. There's a huge mirror that makes the place appear larger than it is. My stuffed french toast was tasty but somehow I was expecting some kind of new invention, not just two pieces of bread fused together. Did I mention the workers there are good looking? Kind of zeros out the wait. The take away here is: open a breakfast place in town...clearly there's a great need.

  • Sarah L.

    I think it was more hype than anything. My friends and I came here after a failed hiking trip at St Louis Heights (darn you rain!). I've heard amazing reviews about this place so I was sorta excited to see what it was all about. Price-wise everything ranges from about $8-12. I got the pesto chicken omelette with wheat toast and herb-roasted potatoes ($10.50). While the food was alright, it wasn't anything special that I would have to go back there for. Service wasn't too great, both FOH and BOH. They were friendly, just very short-staffed. Although it's a small restaurant, having two people work the cashier, serving, and bussing just won't cut it, especially when it's busy. Having tables who ordered after you get their food before you is a big no-no in restaurant biz. A least in my opinion. Don't come when hungry, it's a pretty long wait.

    The reason why breakfast restaurants that are only open for a half a day can stay afloat in this economy is because everyone loves breakfast food! For those of us that are not usually up before noon, places such as Sweet E's can offer us delicious breakfast goodies without waking up early! I was eager to try their blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast but couldn't decide between that or something savory. I always have this problem whenever I'm eating breakfast. Sweet vs. Savory. My boyfriend is not a sharer so I always end up ordering two dishes and taking home the rest. So in addition to the french toast, I also ordered the corned beef hash eggs Benedict. The cream cheese to french toast ratio was too skimpy for my liking. It was only a small smear of cream cheese between two thick slices of bread. But it was yummy nonetheless. The eggs benedict was made with homemade corned beef, none of that canned stuff here! Although it was a corned beef hash benedict, I wanted hash browns with my breakfast and I was glad I did. The hash browns was cooked to a deep golden crisp, just the way I like it! My boyfriend opted for the fried rice and he enjoyed that also. I'm eager to try their red velvet pancakes the next time I'm there. I'm also hoping that they will make their homemade berry butter again! Sweet E's if you're reading this, tell the butter maker to make more BUTTER!! P.S. Sometimes, they close early if it's slow so it's best to give them a call if you're planning on heading over later in the day!

    Finally tried this place after browsing on yelp. It was busier than I had expected for a Thursday morning (11am). I had great timing since more parking stalls in the lot were opening up, but I would suggest to carpool. The wait time was about 30 minutes, which is the main reason why this place does not get all 5 stars. However, as for the service and food, it was great! Tried the chicken pesto omelet w/ wheat bread and fried rice, a BBQ bacon chicken flatbread pizza & the blueberry cream cheese stuffed French toast. They didn't hold back on the omelet filling, but the fried rice was seasoned with a bit too much of onion and garlic for my taste. The pizza & French toast were great too. I couldn't find anything that I didn't like about them. The meat, sauce & cheese ratio on the pizza was just right & the filling for the French toast was generous as well. Overall, the wait was worth it. I hope to go back one day & try their other omelets and lunch options.

    My husband and I would have brunch here sometimes after dropping our daughter off to preschool. The wait isn't too bad at 7:30 in the morning! :P I would get my usual corned beef and hash eggs benedict with herb roasted potatoes and orange juice. If we were hungry enough, we would add a side of traditional french toast. The eggs benedict always comes out perfect, and I love how the corned beef and hash topping would be mildly crispy. I also like how they add some fresh fruits on the side to clear your palate. The service is great and very attentive. Once, our meal was taking too long because apparently our order slip fell behind the counter, but our server was extremely apologetic and made our drinks free. This is a wonderful place to have brunch with family , on a girls' day out, or even after a long hike. I would recommend it to anyone!

  • Sydney L.

    My favorite? The corned beef eggs Benedict. About two months ago, my bf and I decided to have a little stay-cation down that side and decided to give it to try an let me say...it was a winner! For someone who's never tried eggs Benedict, it was an amazing first time experience and I'm so glad I found this place on none other than Yelp! I also tried the blueberry cream cheese French toast which was a little on the sweet side but nothing short of amazing! Just this morning, I visited again with one of my friends who was visiting from Vegas...again, I ordered the corned beef but this time tried the banana stuffed French toast. I'm not sure if they forgot the stuffing or it wasn't enough banana, but I'd definitely stick with the blueberry one because I wish I would've ordered it again instead of my norm "try something new" attitude! Overall, it was a great place to eat and I'm glad they sell a side order type French toast for those who'd just like to try - like me. Why four stars? Because of the banana mishap, if I could id only take half off. But good job Sweet E's. I'll definitely return.

    This great restaurant is off the beaten path a bit but we decided to give it a try. We arrived around 9, on a Thursday morning. There was plenty of parking and no wait. By the time we left though, there were quite a few people waiting.The servers were friendly and always checking on us. We split the Blueberry & Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast and the Breakfast Burrito. Both were awesome, it's the best breakfast we've had since being in Waikiki. It was a good value for what you got, we'd definitely go back again.

    We loved Sweet E's! The eye candy (waiters) made our breakfast even better. We order the Extreme Mess, Blueberry stuffed pancakes and regular eggs, bacon and hashbrowns. All of the food was completely delicious!! It was very hard to find. The GPS says that you have arrived but you have to turn off the main road and look to the left. It's in a tiny tiny shopping area. Small place but very cute. Clean. Amazing breakfast. Def worth checking out if you get the chance!

    Aside from being slightly on an expensive side, this place is the bomb! Stuffed French toast was excellent! It's a cute little clean place tucked away from the tourist path. Wait staff is nice, food is hot and prepared quickly. We are in Waikiki for a few more days and hope to make it there again ;)

    This establishment was easy to find on Yelp but a little difficult to physically locate. Even with a GPS. So just a little clarification the address is on Kapahulu Street, but instead of driving back and forth in front of the place it should be like we did, you actually need to enter the little off-the-street square (actually more like a loop) around the corner on Kihei Place. And there's parking. Which is nice. So inside we were greeted by a virtual army of (however wastrel-looking) servers who were personable and attentive. The waters were always full and although they were busy they stopped by to check on how we were doing frequently and didn't seem distracted if we tried to engage them in conversation. This is a small place with a pretty thoughtful menu; the choices that they had were great. I ordered the blueberry stuffed French toast. Three large pieces was more than I could eat even though it was light and flavorful. My son had the Absolute Mess, a big, huge scramble with all sorts of meats and vegetables. Plus cheese. I tried it. It was absolutely delicious. The prices here are great compared with most of the other breakfast places we tried. There is parking. Blindingly fast service. Cute and clean. Nice people. Five stars.

  • Candace K.

    This location is so small and the wait feels like forever. The parking lot is connected so that's good but it gets hot waiting for a table. I don't care for the location at all. The food how ever is really tasty and fresh. I had an omelet and it was delicious!! I didn't want to wait for a table cause it was too long so I ordered take out!! Good food still as a take out. Staff was really friendly and courteous but there wasn't really a host station or take out station as the location doesn't have enough space. So it was an ok experience. Probly wouldn't bring my kids cause it's too small and cramped and if would be hard to wait too long. My overall review is excellent food but not kid friendly and not really worth the wait. I wouldn't go again, until my kids are old enough to handle themselves!! But a must try for those who do not have kids and enjoy yummy food!!

  • Shay F.

    I ate everything on my plate. Does that say anything? LoL. I wanted eggs benedict, but they didn't have a pescatarian or vegetarian friendly options so I opted for getting the "cheapest" option which was like almost $11...and then I swapped out the bacon for smoked salmon. They added $4 to that...so my breakfast was $15!? Geez! It better be good if I'm paying that price...and although I did eat EVERYTHING, I can't say it was the best eggs benedict I've ever had. It's just a normal eggs benedict. My friend got the chicken pesto omelet and the pesto sauce in that was AWESOME! mmmm...too bad it has chicken....and I didn't order it. LoL.

    It makes sense that breakfast is the most important meal of the day when you have it at Sweet E's. A hidden spot in Kilohana Square off of Kapahulu Ave, it's got this cozy cottage feel that welcomes you as soon as you walk in. It is also kid friendly so bring the little one along. This is my breakfast place. Yes, it is small. Yes, there will be a wait. But, go in knowing this. Parking has gotten somewhat better since Sweet E's seems to be gaining popularity. Follow the signs to the lot behind the building. Be warned, if you try to park in the lot with all the storefronts, you will be "talked to" by the parking lot policeman (how did that even become a position). He will also tell you where you can and can't stand while waiting. There is a bench right outside the doors of the restaurant; however, the sun is always blazing on it so no one sits there. I guess people start to mill around other businesses front doors and they don't like that. The wait can be lengthy at times, people often put their names on the list, and end up leaving without crossing their names off so don't count the names in front of yours on that list, look at how many people are waiting outside. Once you're in, get comfortable and enjoy. I haven't been disappointed by anything I've ordered and neither has anyone I've gone with. Everything is cooked perfectly, I know it's breakfast but still... the omelets are huge, pancakes fluffy, french toast amazing, herb roasted potatoes are seasoned perfectly, hash browns with the perfect amount of crisp, you get it. I'd also like to give a shout out to the servers. Not only are they friendly and efficient, they've got this style to them that confuses you a little given the atmosphere but will make you smile. It's awesome.

    my good friend and i were lucky to both have a friday off so planned a much-needed GMO (girls morning out). i guess because it was a weekday, we didn't have to fight for parking or wait for a table - again, lucky for us! we decided to share the blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast with extra fruit (sweet) and pesto chicken omelet with hash browns (savory). the service was very friendly and altho the place was packed it didn't feel like neighbors were listening to our convo, nor was it too loud. this was where our luck ended. i mean the food was plentiful and tasted alright, but not blow your mind amazing. if i had ordered just the french toast i'd be aching for a salt lick. the omelet was decent but didn't have a consistent pesto-ness (or any flavor at all) throughout, also the hash browns were like a a thin cardboard sheet, i definitely expected more. btw, i also requested the hash browns not be so "done" since pictures on yelp looked kinda burnt. a small section of it was also super salty on the bottom. can you tell i love hash browns? don't mess with me and my hash! so, altho it was just an "ok" meal the prices were reasonable enough ($21 before tip) to perhaps give them another try... IF they're lucky! there's a lot of hash browns in the sea, if you know what i mean!

  • Sara R.

    Friendly service, excellent breakfast!! The blueberry French toast is fantastic! The berries, cream cheese and eggy bread are such a perfect combination that almost tastes like custard. Could be good wit for without syrup depending on how sweet you're going for. The corned beef hash Benedict was also a winner! The eggs were a smidgen overdone but still delicious! If you like hash browns (shredded), I highly recommend them! They were crisp and delicious. Glad we had time to visit this eatery during our trip!

    This is my first yelp review. I've been lazy for this whole time, and finally had something that made me feel so satisfied that I cannot stop myself from writing about it. We went to sweet E's cafe around 1pm on Monday. We quickly found a table and ordered our food. I had the American omelet, my bf had corn beef eggs benedict, and a side order of blueberry cream cheese toast. First of all, the food was amazingly good. I loved every single thing on my plate: omelet was really flavorful, not too cheesy; hash brown was crispy; cheery and orange was sweet. And the blueberry cream cheese toast is the bomb, you have to give it a try. I love breakfast, but I don't like a heavy start for a brand new day. Sweet E definitely is the perfect place to go. Sweet E also is a pretty nice place for four girls to go and have some girl talk. Ok maybe I watched too much sex and the city, but I definitely will bring my girl friends next time with me.

    Really cute place! I felt like I was on the mainland. It has a beachy-chic ambiance. Went around 1pm on a Saturday and had no problem parking and no wait. Ordered the corned beef hash eggs benedict, and my bf had the traditional french toast. Both were good. The corned beef hash was good, and a nice alternative for traditional eggs benedict. Staff was friendly and prices are reasonable. I will definitely be back.

    I'm almost afraid to write a review because I don't want to give this quaint little cafe away. Tucked away in the back of Kilohana Square in Kapahulu, this breakfast and brunch cafe serves some of the yummiest dishes around. Everything from fresh fruit dishes to decadent french toast and even lox and bagels. All at a very reasonable price. The decor is simple but elegant. The coffee is delicious. The staff is friendly and attentive. We got there just after they opened at 7am and were the first in the door. I was surprised that no one else was there. But as we started on our meal, people started trickling in.I attribute the slow business to our midweek visit. I've heard that it can get pretty busy on the weekends. I had the Enchanting French Toast stuffed with blueberries and cream cheese. One of the best french toast dishes ever. Next time I'm trying the banana. Will have to visit many more times to try everything.

    Very happy that we decided to try out Sweet E's Cafe! It's hard to find a new place when visiting Oahu to eat a good breakfast. I'm not talking about your well known, famous been around forever breakfast joint with the long lines. I always try to find the new, you need to try this place, hole in the wall, that you need a GPS to find eatery. Well I definately found it in the Kilohana Square! We got there at around 9:30 am and were lucky enough to find parking within the parking lot in the Kilohana Square. I have to admit we did need to sign in with a waiter to get a table, because all of the tables were taken, but we got a table within five minutes. It is a very small place that seats maybe around 30 maximum. It looks a lot bigger than it really is because of how the mirrors are set up, but the seating is comfortable. The menu has all of the traditional breakfast items, along with some specialty omelettes, make your own breakfast combinations, and eggs benedict. I decided to go with the kalua omelette, which was: kalua pig, onions, tomatoes with perfectly cooked eggs. Had the fried rice, and the wheat toast. Went with the iced tea to drink, which came with free refills. I recommend Sweet E's Cafe. The price was right for a good breakfast at around $10 a plate. The service was great, as we didn't have to ask for drink refills as they refilled when needed, and we got our bill taken care of fast!

    We went to Sweet E's on a Sunday around 12:30pm. It is in Kilohana Square and has a private lot for people visiting the other merchants there.. only thing is that there are a bunch of stalls that say "No Sweet E's Parking." I was prepared for a long wait, but was pleasantly surprised that we only had one party in front of us. The restaurant is very small - maybe only about 10-15 tables? This is definitely not a good place to go to if you have more than 4 people. I ordered the "make your own" omelet and got bacon, mushroom and cheese. It was really good! Only thing is that it kind of had too much egg for my preference. My boyfriend got the blueberry cream cheese French toast. He really enjoyed it but I think half way through he started to get bored with his meal. I took a bite and thought it was pretty good! I liked how it wasn't too sweet. Not a restaurant that I'll be visiting often. But it was good! Maybe there was so much hype around it that I got my hopes up really high for something amazing! But it was a nice breakfast place to visit!!

    This place is to die for! For this little hole in the wall, the service is friendly and prompt, the food is superb, the decor is cozy and cute. (Note: make sure to sign-in on the clipboard.) On vacation, looking for a breakfast place, first time coming here. Living in SF, I've been to many breakfast joints. But WOW, this place does not compare.. their Blueberry French Toast & Corn-beef Hash Benedict is the best thing I've ever eaten! The French Toast topped w/ fruits was ginormous; not too sweet; fruits were fresh; and the filling was oozing deliciousness... pop it in your mouth and you'll melt w/ satisfaction. Now the benedict - every time I go out for breakfast I get a benedict, so I've had my fair share of it. Sweet E's Corn-beef Hash Benedict is the best benedict I've ever eaten! The poached egg was perfectly runny; hollandaise sauce was orgasmic; little shreds of corn-beef is freshly made.. and to pair w/ it - the soft yet perfectly crispy hash brown. Just talking about this makes my mouth water!

    This weekend was a breakfast mission type weekend. I always put off trying places that are located in Kilohana square because of the parking situation. However, when the wife said she wanted to try this place I was all for it since they serve breakfast and serve it all day too. As soon as we pull into the parking, lot two cars leave. That never happens to me.. EVER. I get more jackpots in vegas then find lucky parking. I think god also wanted us to try this place. Luck so far seems to be on our side. Maybe we won't have to wait.. ? Eh.. not that lucky.. We had to wait about 10 minutes which is not bad in my books. Food Between the 3 of us, we ordered the: Corned beef hash eggs benedict w/fried rice - The corned beef was good. Egg poached perfect and...(most important part of the benedict to me) the hollandaise sauce was the right consistency for my liking. Fried rice was average. Regular Pancakes - My son had this and I got to try two bites. First bite with syrup was good. Good texture to the pancake. Wife said to try another bite without syrup and see what I taste. Second bite I tasted cinnamon. Very interesting. I liked it. Stuffed Banana French Toast - French toast was moist and they used the correct amount of bananas. The bananas didn't overpower the French Toast which is perfect. Coffee - Good Water - It comes with ice. Awesome. Service They were very friendly, checked on us a few times and made sure that our waters were full. They were also considered the fact that we were on the waitlist and had time to look at the menu. Therefore, taking our orders promptly. Environment We sat on the tables that are located to your left when you walk in the door. Almost the entire time I had this impression that the place was huge. I thought it was unusual that a breakfast cafe was so big. Then I noticed it. On the other end of the restaurant there is a mirror yelp.com/biz_photos/ozN2… that I THOUGHT was a threshold to another part of the restaurant. I noticed it was a mirror when I stood up to use the bathroom and noticed a good looking guy coming from what I thought was the other side of the restaurant hahah.. Bathrooms by the way are located in the parking lot. Ask your server for the key. I think this is my new breakfast place of choice on this side. I really enjoyed it here.

    I had the blueberry cream cheese stuffed French toast and the corned beef hash eggs Benedict. The French toast was great!! Benedict was good too. You gotta turn first right off kapahulu or you'll miss it and have to turn around. The service was excellent! Cute little hole in the wall breakfast place

    Great service, food was just above average (extreme mess and blueberry stuffed French Toast), cool atmosphere. A little tight if you're going with a group, but great for couples. It was super fast, but get there early as we left at 8 and there were 3 groups waiting.

    I come here for the corned beef hash benedict. The potatoes aren't as flavorful as Cafe Kalia. The stuffed french toast needs more stuffing before I'll rave about it. Service is friendly.

    I shared the Blueberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast and the Chicken Pesto Omelette with a friend. I was nervous to eat here due to the "Moment on the Lips, Forever on the Hips" mantra that passes my mind every time I eat out. I knew this wasn't the place to be on a diet. I was surprised at our portions. It was perfect for two; leaving you feeling satisfied, but not stuffed and not sending you into a "I need to go to the gym now" frenzy. I can't speak to the other dish portion sizes as I am told from friends, like fellow Yelper Allison, that the entrees like the Extreme Mess is huge, so be prepared! I enjoyed it all. My friend didn't care for the slightly tart taste of the french toast which he took as being some questionable cream cheese and I took as the blueberries being not as sweet as you would expect. But, the batter, the french toast bread is warm, soft and to die for; unlike any other french toast I have had and when it comes to pancakes or french toast, I'm a tough nut to crack! It came with 3 pieces; one for him, one for me and one came home for my husband to try. It came with the usual trimmings - syrup and powdered sugar and some fresh fruit. The Chicken Pesto Omelette was very tasty; not in green pesto like you would think. It is hard to explain, but the concoction was blended perfectly, tasted great in a subtle this is a meat and savory dish sort of way. We ordered it with hash browns as I couldn't persuade my friend into sampling their "orgasmic potatoes" other Yelpers have referred to. The hash browns were also a bit different; very thin and at first glance, you would think very dry and very crispy, but to the taste, was a perfect blend of crunch, soft and flavor. It was thin and small in size. It allowed you to not become overwhelmed and err, over-stuffed from this side starch, allowing you to really focus on the taste and texture of the omelette. I am going again and taking two new people so we can try new things. I can't wait. It is small. Parking is limited and expect to wait some time. The place is quaint and cute, very brunch-like in a classy, sophisticated and chic way all with local servers, making you really feel at home. They all were very attentive and helpful; always quick to look for needed drink refills or available seats to seat those waiting. We spent at least a few hours after just drinking coffee and talking and was never rushed out or given dirty looks. We also went toward the tail end of their 2 pm cut off time, so it wasn't like we were taking up space while others waited outside though. At our time, the place started to empty out.

    Definitely one of my favorite breakfast joints. Home style cooking at an affordable price. Everything is good but you have to try the corned beef hash eggs benedict...Buggah is ono! I love the consistency and good service. Parking may be an issue and there may be a line but they turn over tables efficiently. Go there for comfort food or healthier options, for kanack or just a snack!

  • Holly B.

    We were early (7:30 a.m.) on Sunday morning and got seated without any wait! Happy dance! Granted, you have to be out of bed and in town to be seated early (6 a.m. wake-up call); are you willing to make that sacrifice for guaranteed seating on a Sunday morning? We were and were happy to enjoy kalua pig eggs benedict and stuffed blueberry and cream cheese french toast! I guess I'm a creature of habit because it was so good the last time, why deviate from a winner combination?! Left comfortably full and happy with the good start to a wonderful day!

    I was so stoked that I finally got to try this place out! Its been bookmarked for MONTHS. So its located in Kilohana square. Basically after getting off king st. off ramp and head towards kapahulu, take the very first right where you will see a black sign that says Kilohana square and then take turn on the first left into the little plaza/ square and tadaaaa. So the breakfast menu is plain and simple, I had the breakfast croissant with bacon and it also had cheese, tomato and spinach in it. It was delicious. I also ordered a side of herbed potatoes and it was a lot for just a side which was so worth it. My friends enjoyed their meal, and we all had coffee which they would come by often to refill. Service is fast and friendly. I just absolutely love having breakfast. The place is smaller than I imagined but the mirror at the end of the room threw me off and made it seem longer. Tricckkyy! I'd definitely recommend this place for all you breakfast lovers out there just like me!

    The wait for our food was RIDICULOUS. We arrived around 11:20a, waited over an hour, scarfed our food down in 10 mins and got out. As we were waiting for our food though, I noticed that they are severely understaffed for such a small place. The poor waiter and waitress were running ALL over the place. Dirty tables would be sitting until they could get around to it, meaning customers (like myself) were staring at these empty tables wondering why the turn around isn't quicker. Food was alright. Nothing much to rave about. The french toast (with blueberries and cream cheese) seemed slightly undercooked since the bread was soggy and had the egg texture still wet. Eggs Benedict were only alright. I might have to take up Nat N.'s suggestion and try their lunch, but I'm never coming back for their breakfast. Not worth the wait.

    I recently found this place thanks to my boyfriend and yelp! Its super close to where I live and its amazing!! I love the ambiance in this place. The food is also delicious and super fast. Ive been here twice in the past 2 weeks and love it. Ive tired the banana french toast! Wow you get alot of food and its delicious. The staff is super on top of it and friendly. You never feel neglected or unhappy at Sweet E's. My boyfriend has also been super satisfied with his choices. This is one of our go to places now. The location is a bit tricky to get to but now I know where it is so its no problem. I highly recommend. Pros: Great prices! Great food! Great Place! Great people! Cons: interesting parking, long lines

    The wait wasn't too too long, probably about 30 minutes maximum. It was worth waiting for though because the food was delicious, especially the Blueberry cream cheese French toast. I would recommend Sweet E's if you're looking for a great place to have breakfast.

    Thanks to reading reviews on Yelp, I got the Corned Beef Hash Eggs Benedict and a side of the Blueberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast. Portions are pretty good. I ended up eating only one of my Eggs Benedict and took the rest of it home. The Stuffed French Toast was good. Not sure what I was expecting but I didn't really taste the cream cheese. The stuffing was really light and not sweet. I'm thinking its mostly marscapone cheese or whipped cream. I would recommend the Corned Beef Hash Eggs Benedict over the Stuffed French Toast that everyone else is raving about though. The decor is cute and has kind of a homey feel. Service is really good. They guys work together really well. They're all very nice and upbeat. They ended up with a 21% tip. When the guy cleaned off the table next to us two things stood out. He sprayed the table with Glass Cleaner. If we had any food on our table at the time it would have really bothered me; the other thing was that when he cleaned the table, he wiped down the syrup bottle and that was a big plus for me. Pricing-reasonable for the quality and amount that you get in return. Would I go back? Yes. Oh the minused star is because we arrived at 8:25 and was seated 45 minutes later. Although maybe I shouldn't dock them for their popularity. :)

    I've went here several times. I recommend going early (before 8am) that's if you go on a weekend if you don't want to wait in line to be seated. The food is really good. I love their blueberry stuffed cream cheese french toast. Their breakfast burrito and the extreme mess is really good too. The service is awesome and the entire staff are really friendly.

    It's Already All Been Said. I'm Just Saying Hay! So many of my Yeeps have been here to check out the hype and loved it or thought it was fine. No need in repeating about the Corned Beef Hash Benedict or Fried Rice in depth only to say that I thought it was yummy too! Just to put my 2 cents in: *Loved *Service- quick and friendly and understanding *Kalua pig Benedict and corned beef hash Benedict worth coming for *The restaurant is cozy and cute *It is located near Calvin & Susie pet store (I went there after! Great place!) *That Sweet E's took over for India Cafe because that was the worst Indian restaurant *Loved, not so much *Just like my friend Jayson N. said his eggs on his eggs Benedict were over cooked and so was my brothers. It was more like a soft boiled egg, but they remedied the problem at light speed! They brought it back and it was fine :D Good service! They just have to watch the eggs. I think I just found a new breakfast place. They also got Lilikoi butter now!!!!

    I've been meaning to try this place for quite some time and I finally got the opportunity to enjoy a birthday brunch here with the family. We were lucky enough to arrive when it wasn't busy... Meaning: numerous parking spots, no wait to get seated, and quick service. Always a plus! The food was good and the portions were generous. I also liked the ambiance of the place... but I don't know if I would go out of my way just to come back here for breakfast. There was nothing bad about this place, just nothing that really stood out to me.

  • Jeanette G.

    Sweet E has utterly disappointed me. I came in one morning after a workout and no, it was not busy. There was no wait, it was a weekday..life at that moment was sweet! I ordered basic breakfast with eggs, potatoes and corned beef hash. I was waiting for my beautiful surprise to come, however, when it arrived I stared at it wondering if I had ordered hash instead of corned beef hash?? There was practically no meat in it. Every time I've ordered this previously it was amazing, presentation was huge, meat was plentiful and it tasted awesome. Today, I guess my meat is straight potatoes. I left here so upset and craving not fulfilled. I honestly do not know if I will be back here again. It may take me a while and if I do go back and it disappoints, I will not end up coming here again. Consistency is key people, and if you are not even busy, there is no excuse.

  • Jake M.

    Finally, a decent breakfast place without an absurdly long line of tourists (at least on weekdays...). Sweet E's is a small single-room restaurant with compact tables. Meaning, it's alot easier to be seated if you're a two top than a larger group. Dishes are pricey, but portions are generous. People rave about the blueberry stuffed french toast, but I wasn't impressed. Their egg dishes, esp. the benedict and anything with sausage, are pretty tasty though. :)

  • Peiran S.

    This is a upper 4 star brunch place. I give it 5 star for the blueberry cream cheese French toast. Definitely give it a try if you in the mood of a mildly sweet brunch/breakfast dish. The real blueberries and amazing cream in the toasts just made it the best French toast I've ever had. This place is a bit distanced from Waikiki area. But on the other hand parking is not a problem since it has a private lot. Buses get you from Waikiki to here in 10 minutes as well. Expect some waiting on weekend mornings.

  • Iwalani D.

    The blue berry cream cheese stuffed french Toast was good but got dull after the first couple of bites. However the corn beef hash eggs benedict was bomb!! The only thing was that would be bettet was if there was a little more hollandaise sauce and corn beef hash because it was soooo good. Bill came out to about $23 before tax for two. Came at 11 am on a Tuesday, got lucky and didn't have to wait! Overall it's definitely a cozy place with great service! I'll definitely will be back.

    The cafe is tucked away so, unless you are familiar with the area, you can miss it however; ensure you do not. Quint, family atmosphere; the service team works in conjunction with one another; we had 4 different servers assist our table; place was busy, big lines but, it ran exceptionally smooth. Food was great, large portions, quick and efficient service; had the corn-beef hash eggs Benedict and the waffles; all top notch; perfect candidate for DDD.

    For a very tiny restaurant in Kilohana Square, they sure got the word of mouth thing down! Everyone and their mom has been telling me to go and try their food.. so we decided to try. **tip: GO EARLY! Came here to eat on a late Saturday morning... turned out to be a Saturday lunch. The wait was CRAY. There were 4 of us, and few parties in front of us (a group of 6 and a few 2 seaters), and we must've waited about an hour! There was a good amount of parking in that lot, but it quickly filled up. **side note, my bf has an extended cab tacoma, we found a stall right when we pulled into the lot. There was a security guard and another guy who were helping my bf guide the truck in, since there were cars on both sides. It was a bit of a tight squeeze, so we got out before he parked. A few minutes after he parked, the guard came up to us and said that we have to move stalls.. We were "too close to the line". Really?! You couldnt have said something while the truck was still running and we were still in there? So bf had to drive further down the lot and park. He seemed irked :/. Anyway, back to long wait. Super sunny, super hot, ZERO shade. My friend and I decide to squat next to the parked car, to get what litle shade we could from it. Few minutes later, theres Mr. Security Guard. He tries to "greet us" in Japanese, murders ohayoo gozaimasu, and continues to say, "You girls can't sit here. You need to stay on the sidewalk." Holy moly. Fine. So we go back onto the sidewalk and stand in the little shade in front of the shops to the left of Sweet E's. Again, Mr. Security Guard walks up.. "Sorry, you guys can't stand here. You have to be in front of the restaurant from the end of this building, to that pillar right there." So basically where it was sorching hot and where there was no shade. Wth. Fine. Sunburn and sweat it is. After that whole fiasco, we FINALLY get called, and time to eat! Review gets better from here :] PROMISE. Friendly staff (I only noticed guys working which was different) and the food came out fairly quickly (considering it was a packed house). My bf ordered the blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast and I got the hawaiian omlette (portuguese sausage, spam, scallions, onions, cheddar cheese). Both choices were DELISH! And both were too big for us to eat. My bf said that the french toast was pretty sweet, so it was good that I got the omlette. He could have a few bites of something else in between to kill some of the sweetness :] I think my friend ordered the kalua omlette (if I remember correctly), and he enjoyed it a lot. Overall I gave it a 3star.. the wait was a little too much for me. Maybe if they made some shade for waiting customers it would be a little more tolerable...

    Love their eggs benedict or the messy omelet. The Messy Omelet comes with hash browns together in the omelet but i prefer mines on the side of if. The blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toach is amazing, but I'm more of the banana stuffed french toast type of girl :)

  • Chad Y.

    Sweet E's is one of those places that you have to like because it offers a niche when it comes to Saturday brunch. These types of establishments are few and far in between while offering a unique item that makes them stand out. However, Sweet E's made me say it was ok...nothing truly great, however at the same time nothing bad. The restaurant itself offers a stable menu that you would expect of a brunch place. It showcases a careful hybrid of breakfast and lunch items that will certainly please. Whether you want french toast or perhaps a sandwich, the menu certainly will have a staple selection of offerings. The extreme mess was a good egg dish with an array of meats with hashbrowns, all held together with a slightly hard cooked egg. It was a simple and decent dish, however could have been cooked slightly softer. The Chicken Pesto sandwich was quite a delight with a very well done and moist chicken and a very good and well balanced pesto sauce. I'd probably pick the latter when I go again. The ambiance is comfortable and intimate. It showcases a wide array of photos on the wall which make you feel as if you are in someone's kitchen table and while on the smaller side, the wait for tables never seems excessive. Parking can be its one hold up, but I've never encountered real difficulties with it. Service was good, although food did seem to take a little while to reach the table. Water glasses never went empty, nor did the coffee cups and showed how attentive the rotating staff were. All in all, it was a good brunch restaurant to take on our culinary scene and definitely a good spot to visit.

    Came here spontaneously for the first time just recently and it totally lived up to my expectations! Stuffed French toast was awesome and my kalua pork Benedict was pretty good. Stoked on the free coffee refills as well. Chill atmosphere. Only downside is the often long wait (I've tried coming here three or four times before but wasn't willing to wait). But overall, a great spot!

    A lot of breakfast places nowadays believe that the larger the portion, the better the experience your meal is going to be. That some how 2 manhole sized pancakes are going to taste better than 2 regular sized ones. Sweet E's Cafe doesn't fall into the gimmick that bigger is better, and actually serves great good that makes you feel satisfied, instead of recovering half of the day to due a food coma. I had the Belgian waffle with fruit on top. Simple, but damn good. Crunchy when it needed to be, and light and fluffy in the center. You can tell they're made fresh and there's no sogginess to them whatsoever. This place is perfect for a few girls to have brunch as there's a particular cuteness to it. Everything is white inside and it's quiet enough to have a good chat with others. As two guys going into here, we felt a little out of place, but it never feels like we don't belong. I gave it four stars instead of five for its price. I praise its perfect portion size, but they charge as if they're located on Waikiki beach. $9-10 JUST for the waffle (with just a bit of fruit on the top), no sides, toppings or anything, seemed a bit steep. I suppose you pay for the quality?

    So I was on a breakfast mission this weekend... One day Cafe Kaila and then the next, Sweet E's. I LOVED Cafe Kaila so Sweet E's had a pretty high standard to live up to...well...cue the music... dun dun dun.... the verdict??? Cafe Kaila wins this battle of breakfast champions. The menu is similar... the style is similar. And we couldn't resist, had to order a "side" of the French Toast in addition to my breakfast, purely for comparison purposes only since that's exactly what I did at Cafe Kaila just one day prior. Unfortunately, Sweet E's french toast just didn't measure up to Cafe Kaila. And Cafe Kaila has much better roasted potatoes. We had the Kalua pork eggs benedict and a chicken pesto egg white omelette. The Kalua pork was pretty salty. The chicken pesto omelette, well, it was okay, couldn't really taste the pesto. Now, the restaurant is super cute. Much smaller than Kaila. The wait wasn't too long but it can seem intimidating when you see the long list of people and the crowd waiting outside. And waiting outside sucks as there really is no place to sit and wait. You're kind of scattered around the parking lot and you need to pay attention to hear your name being called - we were a ways away from the door so we almost missed our slot! I don't know... just something about the breakfast here didn't excite me as much as Kaila down the street. The service was good... and bonus since our waiter was a hottie :-) I absolutely would go back to give Sweet E's another try and try something else!

    Cute neighborhood breakfast spot. This breakfast spot has taken the spot of the old India Cafe. I'm always up to try a new breakfast spot. I'm very glad more breakfast places are opening up in town, rather than most memorable ones being in Kailua. We spotted by to check it out. One of the little things that I think is such a great idea of this place is that they offer the option of ordering just one side item rather than having to order a whole dish: e.g. pancakes, waffle, etc. Most breakfast dishes come with option of Hash Browns or Potatoes; you can have Fried Rice for an extra cost. They have a cute menu: I did enjoy the intense adjectives used before the names of every category. Since it was our first time, we ordered two different Eggs Benedicts to get a good feel of the place. We also ordered some of the singular sides for good measure. The Traditional Eggs Benedict was tasty, and I enjoyed it. It wasn't the best, but definitely good. The Corned Beef Hash Eggs Benedict again was tasty, but I thought the Corned Beef would have either had a stronger flavor or had a slightly more generous amount. The Pancake was tasty, but nothing too out of the ordinary. The Bagel with Creme Cheese did feel like it was store bought. I enjoyed our meal, but it was nothing too amazing. The food was good, but the demand for the small place is a bit ravenous. The place immediately reminds me of its Kapahulu counterpart, Cafe Kalia ( yelp.com/biz/café-kaila-… ): a decent breakfast spot that will have droves of people waiting to be seated. For all that effort, I would still prefer to go to places in Kailua. Good breakfast spot, but looks like Kailua still the reigning neighborhood for breakfast.

    Thanks to you fellow Yelpers, I had to try this place out. I am very pleased with my experience here. The food was delish! I'm Eggs Benedict person so I ordered the Corned Beef Hash Eggs Benedict. Very good! My only complaint is one of my yolks was overcooked. The other yolk was perfect. So I guess it evened out. My other half had the Hawaiian Omelet, my daughter had the regular two eggs over easy with Portuguese sausage (boring). We also shared the Blueberry French Toast Sandwich...this is a MUST try. The service was excellent. The waiters/waitress were very friendly and refilled our coffee and H2O on a regular basis. We waited about 35mins to be seated but it was well worth it. I will definitely come back and highly recommend this place for breakfast. Great Job Sweet E!!!

  • Taylor N.

    The food here is straight heaven, I shared the Chicken Pesto Omelette and the Blueberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast. The French toast was ridiculous, if there is anything on the menu you should order that is the one! The omelette was excellent as well, something I would order again. This would've been a 5 star review, but the service was pretty bad... I tried to get the waiter's attention multiple times, but she never came so I had to ask a different waiter just for our bill.

  • Kimberly D.

    What happened? The rock star waiters are gone and the remaining ones are poor facsimiles. For example, we were given menus outside and were asked to order while standing out there too. Meanwhile, the table we were given was clear the entire wait time of about 15 minutes. When we wee shown to our table, it was set with all the water and coffee just sitting there cooling off. I'm not sure what the point of keeping us standing was - it's no way to celebrate Saturday! The food, you ask? I was told b the waiter that it takes too long to poach a hard egg so on my Benedict they would fry the egg. Dude, that's not eggs Benedict! Punishment for requesting it the traditional way? Rather than all 5 in our party being served at once, I got mine 10 minutes later. I am thinking they sold the place or changed management. Place also looks shabbier and the music was unnecessarily loud. Ironically, I was the one who wanted to go and based on my past reviews you'll know why. Again, what happened?

  • Valerie O.

    My two friends and I actually came here because the wait at Cafe Kaila was super crazy. Of course there was a wait at Sweet E's too but not as long. We probably waited 30-45 min. There were 10 names in front of us. The places is really small and very cute simple decor. One of my friends got the Hawaiian omelette and it was HUGE! They were very generous with the huge chunks of spam and Portuguese sausage. It was delicious but exactly what you expected from an omelette. My other friend ordered the extreme mess. again, very huge! it was so delicious! (We all shared that's how I know lol. I ordered the blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast. SOOOO GOOD! I was full from sharing everyone's food that I didn't eat all of mine so I gave the left overs to a homeless guy. (A HUGE PART of me regretted that decision later on but then I reminded myself how selfish it was of me to think that but SERIOUSLY it was that good)! Overall, this place if great but you really have to be willing to wait and let all that hunger build up inside of you. if you do, it will definitely be worth the wait.

    Sweet E's hits my "sweet spot" - I've had lunch and breakfast there and both times my belly has been extremely pleased. Depending on when you go, the wait times can vary. (But I'll get back to the wait time issue in a minute.) But getting back to the food, for breakfast we had the homemade corn beef hash eggs benedict with fried rice (extra $1.50) and the epic breakfast burrito. Both were super delish and filled us up absolutely perfectly. When we head back there, it would be hard to try other things but I'm dying to try the stuffed french toast options. For lunch, we had the chicken pesto sandwich with a house salad and we had a pizza. Both were also perfect and oh-so-tasty. You cannot go wrong (IMHO) with the food options at Sweet E's. Now, I base my review on their food and pretty quick service but if I also considered the wait times and wait area - well, that review would be quickly in the toilet. Why, you ask?? Well, as stated in many tips and reviews, Sweet E's hasn't quite figured out seating for some reason and there can be parties waiting outside and quite a number of tables open inside. But the big red flag warning about Sweet E's that might just turn people away is the annoying security Natzi from Kilohana Square. I guess the other businesses nearby are quite annoyed with the amount of people waiting outside. So Mr. Security Guard (who by security guard standards takes his job extremely serious) is right on people when they cross "the line" into other businesses territory. If you just thought to yourself, well, this just got strange. It did. (For the record, Sweet E's even had to put a sign up about the security guard. haha) While we waited, a little baby was walking around and he asked the parents of the child to make sure she stayed out of the other businesses storefront. Funny part of the day I went though? It was a Sunday and all of the other businesses were closed. Go figure. Parking was extremely easy for Sweet E's. They had a lot separate from Kilohana Square in the back. And they have a restroom that all the businesses share at Kilohana Square, so try and hold it if you have to. In a nutshell, I would say, pick odd hours to take a visit and have some yummy, home-cooked deliciousness from Sweet E's and every thing will be alright....

    This place is really cute! Kind of a harder place to find, I definitely would have never known there was a cute little restaurant in that Kilohana Square area. The place is very small and there is normally a wait but it is definitely worth it. I ordered the Blueberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French toast which was BOMB! Thick, creamy, and so sweet. The banana one was really good too. Much sweeter, but not as thick and filling. We got a side of their potatoes too which I recommend to those who like papas. I need my coffee in the morning and their coffee was pretty on point. It is free refills and comes in a huge cup so you can get the morning caffeine fix you need. If your looking for a cute breakfast place in town that is affordable you must try Sweet E's.

    What sucked me in were the pictures of their blueberry stuffed cream cheese French toast. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint. First bite was like heaven in my mouth, the light cream cheese, and all the blueberries. As with most stuffed French toast, it gets too sweet for me. Not this one. The taste was good all the way through and did not become overwhelming. Just this plate alone is all you need. I couldn't even finish it :( The restaurant is small, there's not much of a waiting area, and they close super early. So I did wait an ample amount of time. But once you try their French toast it's all worth the wait. Hey, if you want good food you gotta wait. I would definitely come every weekend if I won't get far from it haha.

    Love this place!!! Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of blueberries -- however, I ordered the banana stuffed french toast and it was still very yummy :) I only ate about half & took the other half home for my boyfriend to eat. My dad had the corned beef eggs Benedict that was REALLY good :) Really impressed with this place, but it was a little on the pricey side *especially for breakfast! I plan on going here again though...I also saw on Instagram that they have specials every so often (they had none this past Friday), and they look really good -- especially the ones that involve the stuffed French toast !

    Before today, when I recommended breakfast cafe's to visitors and friends from out of town, I used to recommend Cafe Kaila in town, or Boots and Kimo's if they had the time to get out there. After hiking with some friends up Diamond Head Crater this morning, one of them suggested a cafe they heard about in a Japanese magazine. Never hearing of Sweet E's before, at around 10:15am we headed to Kilohana Square where we found ample amounts of parking. Larger vehicles may have a tougher time parking though, the stalls are around compact size. The Cafe itself is very small but very clean and bright. We were seated immediately, and the five of us proceeded to order and bunch of items and share. We ordered the Extreme Mess (scrambled eggs, sausage, hash browns, onions and other stuff all mixed together), the blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast, banana pancakes, a spinach cheese mushroom omelette, and eggs benedict. Needless to say the food was great! The Extreme Mess was very good and well portioned, but I especially enjoyed the french toast and pancakes the most. The pancakes were fluffy and spongy, and had just the right amount of bananas in it. The french toast was awesome. Seriously, if you have a sweet tooth for breakfast treats, this is a MUST. All in all, the service was great, and since we were all sharing, it came out to just $15/head including drinks. Everything came out quickly, and we never felt rushed to eat and leave. It did start getting crowded while we were there, and there were a few people lining up outside waiting for a table while we left. I would definitely recommend this place as my first choice now, I'm sure I'll be eating here again soon!

    Oh my, oh my, oh my :) This place is so cute! I love the homey vibe I get here. It just feels so...cozy! Besides the great decor, the food was topnotch! The portion size was PERFECT. I got the Corned Beef Hash Benedict with Hashbrowns and it was heeelllllaaaaa gooooood! The egg was cooked perfectly and the hollandaise sauce topped it off like a cherry to a sundae. The hashbrowns were cooked to crispy perfection. It was a party in my mouth :) Even though the place is small, there's quite a bit of people that go here! My friend had this omelet with everything inside or something and she got filled up after just half of it. The service was okay, though. When I went, there was only 1 waitress so I waited a long time for a water refill -.- But other than that, I am coming back for the benedict!!

    I'm only knocking one star off because the wait situation is atrocious, it's a small spot with a lot of demand. I get that... but there has to be a better way to handle the wait. Forced to stand either off property grounds or baking in the sun is no way to spend 30-45 minutes. Besides the waiting factor... which sucks, again... I really enjoy the food here. Now, I've only ordered the stuffed french toast with fruit topping but it is HEAVEN. Delicious, large portions and did I mention delicious? The fried rice side dish is pretty dull, skip it. When you eat Fried Rice from Home Bar you get spoiled by what good Fried Rice is... but the Fried Rice here is pretty junk. My wife has also had the breakfast potatoes come out rather unseasoned during one visit but we'll chalk that up to the craziness and busy nature. Otherwise, the breakfast entrees are awesome, delicious and well worth it.

    I ate here with my boyfriend last week after seeing all of the raving reviews. It is very cute. I like the decor. The large mirror at the end of the room makes the place look much bigger than it is. The service is great too. I just wasn't that crazy about my food. I ordered the spinach, feta omelette made with egg whites. It came with toast, potatoes and a couple slices of fruit. It was okay, but it wasn't one of those things that makes me want to brag about my visit. My boyfriend had the Hawaiian omelette (I think that's what it's called), and he thought it was great. I think I will give this place another shot at one point but order something different.

  • Keoni K.

    SSSSSSSSSooooooooooo good. We always get the eggs benedict and french toast and you can never go wrong with it! The only downside is that the restaurant is small so you most probably have to wait. The parking is kinda crappy too but most times you can make do.

    CORNED BEEF HASH eggs benedict! BEST EGGS BENEDICT EVER! Don't order the traditional but order the corned beef Hash Benedict and you won't regret it! I've tried a LOT of eggs Benedict from all around Cali and I wouldn't think I'd find the best one in this cafe here in Hawaii! Don't expect the taste of the usual eggs Benedict because this place puts their own twist with different flavors that make up this dish! My first bite was absolutely amazing and I knew that this was the best! The corned beef hash on top of the English muffin was crispy which made it off the top because it gave it a very nice texture which you wouldn't have with any other eggs Benedict. Not only that, but their hollaindase sauce is rich, creamy, buttery, flavorful and simply perfect! The eggs benny was so good that I wanted to go back the next day to eat it again!

    Tasty food, great service and clean and beachy decor - all around yummy! A bit overpriced or could use larger quantity - but overall, is equivalent to Cafe Kaila types. Hence, worth checking out if u don't mind price.

    This is place is very cute. I couldn't believe the line outside though. Until you walk in.. The place is very tiny for how many are still waiting to be seat. Parties in parties out. It's like waiting for a bathroom stall. Ok, bad visual, but the place is very popular. Good Benedicts and hash browns. The food wasn't spectacular considering the wait. But still solid good breakfast.

    Got here at about 7:30 on a Sunday and there was no wait at all. Service was friendly and quick. This time I got the Kalua omelet... It kinda sucked. Overall portion was large, but there were only 3 bite size clumps of kalua pig in the whole thing. I literally opened that bad boy to hunt for the Kalua. Hubs got the extreme mess and said it was good.

    This is a small cozy cafe where you can get very yummy french toasts. I have had Blueberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast with Fruits this morning. It was really good. Blueberry Cream Cheese was not overly sweet and airy. French toasts were cooked just right. The serving portion is very generous and the pricing is very reasonable. I didn't have any wait time though the place got filled pretty quick. I would expect wait in line since it is a small place with darn good food. I would go back to this place if I lived closer. :)

    The good thing about places like Sweet E's is that they're open and serve breakfast till 3pm. Now since I was on spring break, I obviously needed to take advantage of all the sleep I could get. This means, that I wake up late; after all, isn't spring break my time to hibernate? i do three things: sleep, eat, and sleep more (sometimes at the beach). During my vacations from work, I always wanna go to get some awesome breakfast, but usually wake up too late. Since Cafe Kaila was so busy and had a line outside, Ivan and I decided to go to Sweet E's. The deciding factor was the french toast. Blueberry and Cream Cheese stuffed french toast specifically. I mean, how can anyone say no to that? When we got to Sweet E's, we put our name on the waiting list and were seated very quickly. Looking through their menu, I saw that you could also get your French toast stuffed with bananas and also topped with fruit. I looked to see what the other people on other tables were getting; a bunch of them had the eggs benedict and the breakfast burrito. I think next time I'll try the corned beef hash eggs benedict. Anyways, I ordered my french toast with blueberries and cream cheese and an iced tea; my friend ordered a Sweet E's salad. We got our food in a timely manner, but I had to remind the waitress about my iced tea. What a great way to have started my day (even if my day starts at like 1pm or later some days).

    THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST. Ok I got my foo fighters out of my system. Seriously though, the best. I try to go at least once a week. The eggs benedict is fantastic, the pancakes are fantastic, the extreme mess is fantastic, the coffee is fantastic, the staff is fantastic, the parking is.... not. Whatever though. Walk there if you have to, don't be lazy. The only thing I want more of is lilikoi butter so if you all wanna start making that again i'll go twice a week. See you on Thursday or Friday!

    I really liked this place. I would surely recommend it to my friends visiting Oahu. Sure beats eating spam and eggs at McDonalds! I had the kalua pork eggs benedict with fried rice. It was gooood, but the pork was way too salty. My girlfriend had the blueberry stuffed french toast. It was on point! I can see why it's one the more popular items on the menu.

    Finally got to try this place out. We went a couple of weeks ago, only to find out they were closed. This time, I called ahead to make sure they were open. Showed up at about 9:30 on a Monday morning and the place was packed. We got lucky because someone was on their way out, so we waited only a minute or so to be seated. Since we found this place on yelp, we knew what we wanted to order. We ordered two corned beef hash eggs Benedict, one with hash browns and one with potatoes. We waited about 20 minutes for our food. When we got our food, we were both immediately disappointed. The food was too salty! The corned beef hash was salty and something in the hollandaise sauce that we couldn't quite point out was a little off. The potatoes were good and tasty though. Considering the rave reviews about the food, we were disappointed and probably won't be back. The service was good, seating and parking was tight.

    Tucked away in Kilohana Square, Sweet E's Café is a hidden gem. Just off Kapahulu Avenue, Kilohana Square is a corner shopping center that catches your eye but not always your attention. Sweet E's Café has a quaint charm to it. They make the most of the small space with about thirty-five seats. The lighting and white walls make the dinning area a bright open space with the help of a large mirror in the back that deceptively makes the room seem a bit bigger. This Café may be hidden location-wise but it's reputation will be sure to give you a small wait for a table.The servers do a great job keeping that wait to a minimum. Instead of having a dedicated server the servers circle around the dinning area helping patrons as the need it. This ensures great timely service for whatever need you might have. The only problem is the servers are so good at turning over tables to cut the wait times that you feel a little bit rushed. If you've read other reviews you should be getting the idea that the Blueberry Cream Cheese stuffed French Toast is a winner. It is indeed a great twist on a classic breakfast dish. It's perfectly plated and full of creamy-berry goodness. It comes dusted with powder sugar and is perfect eaten just as it is. Perfect balance of flavor, sweetness and cream. I like that the menu gives you the option of ordering a single specialty French Toast. So if you want to try it without ordering a full order you can. That's exactly what I did because I also love Eggs Benedict. When asked which Eggs Benedict the server suggested, he didn't hesitate to suggest the Kalua Pig Eggs Benedict. When a server doesn't have to think about the question to answer it you feel confident about what you're ordering. It was a great suggestion. The eggs are perfectly poached with solid egg whites, perfectly runny yolks and no excess water. The Kalua Pig gives a punch of smoke and flavor that pairs well with the hollandaise sauce. The hash browns make for a nice side to the Benedict, it's crispy and light without being oily or too filling. The parking is limited but the owner of Kilohana Square just bought the empty lot across the street with plans to build an auxiliary parking lot. Overall, Sweet E's Café is a must try for any breakfast lover.

    This place is busy! Go on a weekday and as earliest as possible. My wife and I shared the Blueberry Cream Cheese French Toast and the corned beef hash eggs benedict. We ordered these mainly because a lot of people reviewed that these were very good. We both enjoyed the french toast. The cheese was very tasty. As for the benedict: this was our first time eating benedict so we didn't know what to expect. After trying it, we just thought it was so-so. I guess we are not the benedict type. The egg was good though. Overall we enjoyed it. I would recommend everyone trying it at least once.

    I arrived around 9am on a Thursday morning, and it wasn't completely full. There were two open tables for two, so I was able to sit down as soon as I walked in. However, I did notice a group of four waiting outside. I actually expected it to be a lot larger inside, but it was very similar to Mo'ena Cafe. I was worried about parking, but there is a private lot. There aren't too many stalls, and many of them are limited to 30 minutes. Also, the stalls are really tight! I don't know where I would have parked if it had been busier! The food was so good! I shared the blueberry cream cheese french toast and corned beef hash eggs benedict with my friend. Amazingly delicious! (Thank you Yelpers!) I really prefer Sweet E's over Mo'ena Cafe. My go-to breakfast is always eggs benedict, and I love that you have options at Sweet E's! I will try the kalua pig one next time! BUT, stick with the french toast. Such good blueberry flavor! There were three waiters that shuffled around the tables. The one that offered me a table (pick whichever one you want) wasn't as nice/helpful as he could have been. I asked which eggs benedict was most popular, and he said they were equal. 0_0 Thanks man. Other than that, it did get pretty loud in there. At times, I couldn't hear my friend talking to me across the table. But I will definitely return for the food...omg so delicious! And so many more options than Mo'ena Cafe! At least with the eggs benedict...enjoy!

    Had the Extreme Mess along with the stuffed blueberry French toast to share. Both were amazing. The French toast could have used a little less cream cheese nonetheless it was good. Very generous portions. The ambiance is great, very warm and welcoming. A little out of place for the location. Staff was super friendly and very attentive to everything. From removing empty plates to filling drinks, they were on it. Parking is kinda tight. I will be back and will recommend it to my friends.

    Their Kalua Pig Eggs Benedict is to die for!! I crave it all the time! I thought it sounded kind of gross when I saw it on the menu, but one of the waiters (Na'o) told me it was his favorite... So I said what the heck. HoooMahhGodddd!! Sooo good! The only thing I wish they would get is an espresso machine! They have coffee, but I love my espresso with my brunch. The decor is cute and all the waiters are super nice!

    Late review on this place. Got to thank Kim M and all the Yelpers who reviewed this place to help me decide that this place was neat to go to for a quick bite on a Saturday morning. I came here on NYE morning 12/30/11 and the place was not really packed at all. I assumed that everyone was drunk and hung over from the night before - gearing up for the big 2012 NY weekend in style. But anyway, this place did not disappoint at all! My choices at the time were basically Big City Diner, McDonalds, and L&L Drive Inn in the kahala / Kaimuki area. After remembering Kim's suggestion to this place, I decided to just give it a whirl and see what goes. And of course, it's another chance to review someplace new! I love breakfast food items,especially eggs. Can't get enough of em. The ambiance of this place felt like it was somewhat of a higher standard than just casual dinning at Big City Diner. It had a charm that just made me feel like I was safe and it was just appeasing to me. With that said, my eye caught the "EXTREME MESS" item on the menu. I remember seeing that on Kim's review. So, I told the server to give me one more minute to decide while I recalled Kim's review on Yelp on my iPhone to re-read the section of the "EXTREME MESS". Good lord, the description was just as appetitizing as it was awesome reading it on her page. So ya, no need to say further. I ordered that and had a ball with it. Located conveinently in Kilohana Square in Kapahulu, it's a small square that can be overlooked when driving up an down Kapahulu Avenue to get to Waikiki, or wherever you are going. It's off to the right, if you turn left from Harding Avenue - which is one of the best ways to get there. Or from Kapiolani Blvd, but you gotta turn somewhere left and hit up Kapahulu. It's nearby Leonard's Bakery and the Safeway is definitely close by. The parking thing can be tight, so be prepared for that. There is street parking. Good luck with that! Hope to run into fellow Yelpers, Kim M and Emi H here sometime in the future. That will so rock. They inspire the Yelp! in me!

    Came here for some breakfast and heard that this place wasn't too crowded. In fact, we got seated immediately, which was awesome. The menu is pretty standard for breakfast, with a few omelets, french toast, pancakes, eggs benedicts and the standard eggs with meat. I ordered the corned beef hash benedict, which came with potatoes, hash browns or rice. The benedict was alright, could've used more flavor in the corned beef hash. I added my own with tabasco sauce, pepper and ketchup, and it tasted fine. The eggs were cooked well and the hash browns were crispy. Overall a decent place for breakfast, but not the best I've had.

    I'm sorry, I just wasn't a huge fan. Maybe I'm still a bit nostalgic about India Cafe and their awesome shrimp curry that used to occupy Sweet E's Cafe. Maybe I got a little annoyed with the air conditioner spraying little droplets of water on me every so often. There was one waitress for about 10 tables, so service was pretty slow. The food was a little pricy....I ended up paying about $15 for breakfast including tax and tip.

    "Where is this place? Address is Kapahulu, but where is this cafe?" After two circles around Kapahulu, I finally gave up...and called my sister who went to Sweet E cafe a few days ago and then, I was at my final destination. As I drove into the small parking lot, I found a stall right in front of the cafe. Walked in and got the last table available. There is a wall mirror that made the place look bigger than it actually is. There are 12 tables. Very cozy cafe with many family pictures on the wall. I just felt like I was welcomed in to someones home. We got seated and placed our orders. First thing I noticed and loved was the word "breakfast served all day." Let me remind you all, I love breakfast food. We ordered banana pancakes and the corned beef eggs benedict. The banana pancake were REAL with banana inside the pancake. Not some places just slicing the banana on top of the pancakes. Every bite, there was banana taste. What made this pancake even better...thin stacks so you had petite bites of pancake with a blast of flavor. It was delightful. The corned beef eggs bene was pretty decent. The pork was tasty and soft. The eggs was perfect, not too yolky but just right. The roasted potatoes were absolutely delicious. Just the right taste of flavor and perfectly roasted. I would definitely be back to this hidden-in-the-back-of-Kapahulu Sweet E Cafe and the next time wont take me as long to find it.

    Met my boyfriend's parents here at the crack of dawn by my lazy Sunday standards, aka its opening time of 7am. I have to admit, early birding does have its benefits: Kilohana Square was a ghost town. The only other patrons were a family with three young children and a group of older women chatting away. The main downside was the overwhelming smell of bleach instead of yummy breakfast items -- but hey, at least you know the joint is clean! My boyfriend settled on a (tried and true) croissant sandwich, while I was intrigued by the (more dangerously carb-y) stuffed blueberry French Toast. My order was enormous and could easily be shared, which as it so happened, was exactly what my boyfriend was banking on. Suckah. Just be careful not to mistake the cream for syrup, as its in a similar container. His dad went with a bagel with lox (which I'd only recommend to those watching their girlish figures) and his mom the Eggs Benedict -- the winner of the bunch, in my opinion. I was bordering on food order regret, but not quite. I only wished my French toast came with more cream cheese (although, I am a fan of excess. So kill me!). Sweet E's is pretty charming altogether, and judging by the line outside when I passed by a few hours later that same day -- it's catching on quickly.

  • Jimmy Y.

    Bottom Line: I wouldn't go back if there is a single person standing outside. Like one guy said while we were waiting, "it's just ok" then he left rather than wait. I'm putting up the stars for: 1) The Blueberry cream cheese french toast is good, 2) the guys working are generally very happy. The omelets were about as good as I can make at home & the eggs benedict were average. If you do decide to wait, expect to get chased around the parking lot by the security guard telling you where you can't stand, but he won't tell you where you can stand.

    Always looking for decent eggs benedict. Found it! After my first visit I would have rated Sweet E's with 5 stars. After my second visit I'm glad I waited to review. First visit - we both had the corned beef eggs benedict with herb potatoes. Our food came out hot and delicious with a side of complimentary papaya smoothie! The potatoes were seasoned perfectly and each component of the our cbh eggs benedict was spot on. Second visit - after the excitement of the first visit I couldn't wait to bring Mama along. She loves LOVES eggs benedict. Sadly, she wasn't so excited. She ordered the kalua pig eggs benedict and it came out cold. The entire dish. And the potatoes were under seasoned. The poi muffins were so hard to cut through that she just picked at the egg and kalua pig. We were hungry so I didn't have the heart to send the order back. My cbh eggs benedict and potatoes came out steaming hot and so I switched plates with her. The potatoes that were so delicious on the first visit were such a disappointment this visit. Does Sweet E's warrant another visit - absolutely! Next time I'll stick to either the classic eggs benedict or the cbh ones. Perhaps the stuffed french toast. Totally worth checking this place out. Advice - use the bathroom before hand. Sweet E's shares the Square's one. It was flooded during the first visit and probably not so pleasant otherwise. - parking wasn't a problem for us either time but the spaces are rather small. Parking may be better on the street... - see if they have a serrated or steak knife if you're eat the eggs benedict. Rather difficult to cut through the muffin with standard knife.

    I'm not usually the one for breakfast meals, but one day I was craving it so much and didn't want to wait for Cafe Kaila's long waiting time. So I decided to try Sweet E's Cafe. It's pretty much like Cafe Kaila just not as long waiting time. But I must say the waiting situation at Sweet E's is really awkward.. So you must go inside and write down your name and number in your party. Then you have a choice of sitting on a bench in the front (it's very hot and no sun coverage) or I figured it was innocent to just stand off to the side in the shade. But nooo I guess the flower shop kept complaining people were in front of their store, so I was told by the security to wait in a alley way in between Sweet Es and a flower shop. Then 20-25 min I see the flower lady come out and talk to him, then next thing you know it everyone is kicked out of the alley way. With no where to wait everyone just ended up resorting to their cars. So finally they call my name and I'm STARVING. I order the Veggie Benedict with herb potato and the blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast. I wasn't too impressed with the Veggie Benedict, it lacked a lot of flavor. But the herb potatoes were sooo delish! Oh and finally the blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast... TO DIE FOR. Probably one of my favorite-est breakfast item ever! I will def be back for more. :) Oh and they surprised me with a little cup at the end of their papaya smoothie. It was so refreshing and light.

    Having slept in a bit and just finished tidying up the house, at noon on a Sunday I found myself hungry and craving breakfast food. However, knowing that Sunday is breakfast day I knew most of the places I like to hit up for breakfast would be packed (Original Pancake House, Kalia, etc). So I looked to good old Yelp to help me find a new alternative. After searching "breakfast" I found this place and so the bf and I headed down to Kapahulu to try it out. Located in Kilohana Square, you can access the tiny parking lot from Kihei Street off Kapahulu Avenue. Its a pretty tight parking lot, so try to bring a smaller car if you have that option. Although its a smal lot, I've never been to Kilohana square and couldn't find a parking stall. There's usually at least one stall open and I've been there on weekday/weekend nights and days so it should be ok. If not there's street parking on Kihei street and Kapahulu. Sweet E's Cafe replaced what used to be India Cafe. We were unfortunate to have two large walk-in parties right before us so it took about 30 minutes to get seated, but there was water available while you wait and menus outside to browse through. The bf and I perused through the menu so we could order as soon as we sat (I suggest EVERYONE do this ANYWHERE there is a line, that way you wait less for your food!) and decided on the Hawaiian Omlette ($10.50) and the Chicken Pesto Omlette ($10.50). Each comes with an order of toast (wheat, white, or sourdough) and a choice of hash browns, herb-crusted potatoes, rice, or fried rice for a $1.50 more. The coffee at $2.50 a cup (with free refills) wasn't really that great, so not sure if its worth getting if you don't NEED that cup with breakfast. Since we ordered pretty much as soon as we sat down, it only took about 10 minutes to get our food. Both omlettes are the "stuffed" type where the ingredients aren't mixed into the egg, but rather there's an egg "shell" with the ingredients inside. The bf's hawaiian omlette was OK, kind of onion-y with scallions AND onions. Wouldn't really reccomend it. My chicken pesto omlette on the other was awesome! Very flavorful and herb-tastic! The chicken and other ingredients were cut into tiny little cubes so it made for slightly messy but easy to eat meal. Next to try is the french toast I saw other people ordering. Thick slices topped with berries looking super YUM. Also the eggs benedict are also up for a taste testing next round.

    This is a hidden gem! Parking is difficult during the week but they use a big lot behind the store on the weekend. The food is excellent! They have a mix of local fusion and traditional entrees. Fresh ingredients! The fried rice, Portuguese sausage, and eggs are exquisite. The pancakes and French toast are light and fluffy (options include fruit - see menu). Home style potatoes are heavenly! Kalua eggs Benedict is uniquely tasty. The staff are friendly and attentive - service was fast, the food came reasonable quick and drink refills were frequent. We took two small children and it was fine. Everyone cleaned their plate and we were very satisfied! We didn't have to wait for a table (which I've heard is unusual on a Saturday morning), however there was a crowd waiting when we left the restaurant at 9am. We will definitely be back!

    Sweet E's where have you been!? I am so used to always going to Kaila's just because it is right in view when on the street, but on a day between classes I wanted to try something new. And when you want to try something new what do you do? you yelp of course! and so i found this little hidden gem and BAM! i fell in love. First of all I love it because of the atmosphere, furniture, and decorations. It feels like you have stepped into your rich grandmother's beach house and she is cooking you a wonderful breakfast before you go out into the water. I was in a sweet mood so i ordered the stuffed french toast with blueberries and cream cheese. I must say that I was expecting something super sweet, but it actually had the perfect blend. I was also hesitant at first because cream cheese scares me since I always imagine a thick and creamy goop, but this one was almost like a whipped cream. The waitress was nice and gave me a sample of this berry butter that one of the chefs wanted people to try out. And can I just say i'll take a whole jar of that please! Overall the toast was so thick that I could only finish two of the three slices. Really good! You can always order just 1 slice if you only want to try it. My friend ordered a bagel sandwich and it was also good.

    I need to say the meal was good and the service was excellent. In fact a 30% tip was left. However, with that said there was a problem. My fiancé inadvertently left her credit card after she paid the bill. She did not realize she had left her card until the following day when we were on Kauai. We returned a couple days later and Sweet E's was already closed and they do not have an answering machine. My fiancé was forced to call her bank and cancel the card. Her bank then informed her that her card had been used that day twice by Sweet E's Cafe. That is fraud folks. We went to Sweet E's to retrieve the card the next day and talked with the owners brother who advised us his sister would call to talk to us. When the owner called her explanation was that their credit card phone line had gone down and they used that card to test the system. The owner stated she had no idea that these charges and subsequent reversals would appear on my fiancé's bank statement. The owner never once asked how she could make this right. She never once acknowledged the inconvenience and cost that would be incurred by her actions. She did say it was she that made the transactions. So if you eat at Sweet E's I'd make it a cash only experience. The owner of this establishment is lucky my fiancé is a forgiving lady. If she chose to involve the police this is identity theft AND fraud. A class C felony punishable by up to 1-5 years in state prison.

    This place can be an easy 5-stars. Read on to see why I rated it 4. Coming inside, we could tell this was a unique interior and was a great atmosphere. The staff was very attentive, and kept refilling our coffee which was nice. The only thing is, there was like 3-4 different waiters that kept coming by and asking if we wanted anything, maybe they don't had a specific waiter assigned to certain tables? Anyway, both the Denver omlette (small) and the blueberry cream cheese stuffed French toast (large) was very delicious. Even though we were pretty full, I wanted to try the eggs benedict. I have to say, comparing it to the MCBH champagne brunch ones, they were way inferior. The eggs were way to tiny, and there was no substance to how the yellow sat on the white. I think they could definately improve the recipe they are using. So for that, a respectable 4 stars nonetheless.

    Maybe I came on the wrong day but this joint is def not worth what it's currently rated on yelp based one experience. The fact that it was rather difficult to find isn't even a factor in my rating. Their wait was pretty reasonable and it basically stops there. I noticed that 2 girls were seated after my friend and I and ordered after us but somehow got their food well before we did. A couple and their son seem to be friends with our waiter and did get the preferential treatment seen by another reviewer. The couple came in about 10 mins after we did but got their food within a minute after we got ours. The service was just weird. Now I get the food and I'm starving so I dig in and at first bite of everything.... BLAND. I salted my potatoes and eggs like crazy! And then comes their "famous" blueberry stuffed French toast. It wasn't even good! And damn SOOO much cream cheese. I guess I should've expected it. Either way, overrated big time. I'm just visiting but not coming back on my next trip to Oahu. PS - my friend got the Denver omelette and 1 French toast. She really enjoyed it and thought it was delicious.

    Sweet E's is a great find! I'm always on the look out for good breakfast places, and this one really impressed me. I LOVED the atmosphere of this place. Cozy, cute, and comforting. The chef was preparing Korean specials the morning I visited. So, I decided to try the kimchi and kalbi breakfast burrito. It was delicious!! I would totally order it again if they decide to put it on the menu. I also think Sweet E's would be a nice place to take out-of-town guests for a satisfying breakfast without a long wait. I'm so hungry in the morning and don't like waiting long for breakfast. And it's wonderful to have some more breakfast options for us townies! One downside is that parking is pretty tight in Kilohana Square. But, I will definitely be back to try more dishes off their regular menu. Thanks Sweet E's! I'm a happy customer :)

    Loved this place! My friend & I went for the first time after seeing all of the photos. Overall we had a fantastic experience. We parked in the 2nd lot. There was a long wait list but we were prepared. We waited about 30 minutes which was just enough time for a coffee. We ordered the corned beef Benedict, chicken pesto omelette with hash browns, and blueberry cream cheese stuffed French toast. All of it was delicious, and they even used fresh blueberries. The portions were large. The waitstaff was polite, fast, friendly, attentive, and efficient. We ordered, ate, packed our left overs, and paid our bill in 45 minutes. We will be back!

    Sunday of President's Day weekend, showed up about 12:45pm with 4 parties ahead of us. ~10 minute wait. Food: French Toast stuffed with blueberries and cream cheese was so ono! It comes as three thick slices. Wish it were warmer, but I did have to wait for another person before digging in. We also had the Kalua Pig omelette. The egg was cooked the right way with just the right amount of fluffiness and texture. Other ingredients were fresh. What was weird was they still had ham in it which for me made a weird taste combo with the kalua pig. So I'd recommend an omelette but probably a different one. Roasted potatoes were decent. Service: Waitstaff was very friendly and attentive, filled our waters regularly and make good small talk. Ambience: I can see why the ladies love it...it's a pretty nice setting, didn't feel too loud though the place was full. Also didn't feel too crowded inside as to when I'm at Cafe Kaila. Price: Bill came out to ~$20, which I consider fair for what we got. Overall: comparable to Cafe Kaila in terms of price and quality. May be slightly less crowded since I didn't notice as many tourists around.

    This place is happening! Located where "India Café" used to be. We were there for breakfast on Sunday morning. By the time we came out, a lot of people waiting to be seated outside. We had Traditional and Vegetarian Eggs Benedict and coffee. I thought it was decent and good enough to return to the café again. My fussy BF gave 3 stars, says will not return. Parking: In front of the café or behind the café = Free. Or more space on Kapahulu street. Sunday = free. Overall 3.5 stars.

    Our hotel bartender recommended this place to me for breakfast. My girlfriend went for the banana stuffed pancake and I went for the meat plate. Both were excellent. Sweet E's had a nice ambience. Again a place locals would go.

    Thank goodness for Yelp to help find the out of way places. Came to the islands to visit family and always nice to enjoy again the local food. Had not yet been to Sweet E's and so glad we could this time. If you have a car and can get out of Waikiki or can find your way via bus, try this place ! It is well worth the trip and really not too far.

    So is it Sweet. E's. or "Sweeties?" I can't figure out if it's a pun or not! Went here on Saturday morning with the fiance. Ran into Thomas O. in the parking lot, Yelpy coincidence?? We both wanted the same dish so we picked another and shared both the kalua pork benedict on a taro English muffin and the chicken pesto omelette. Both were great and reminded us of much lesser quality and more expensive counterparts at Giovanni Pastrami. We got one with hash browns and one with home fries, both of which were really greasy. Coffee was good. The restaurant and its atmosphere are fun, classic, and I never even knew there was a whole world back in that area! This place is a hidden gem... so why am I letting everyone know about it?!

    (Jaws music at a slow unassuming tempo - Da dum, da dum, da dum, da dum...) I walk into Sweet E's to meet Kyle H & Lori I for lunch and I am taken aback by the quaint beach town inspired decor. I spy Kim M who just happens to be there for lunch. Coincidence or destiny? Guess what, there are no coincidences. There is a hidden Universe driven agenda that will come of this "chance" meeting. But that's another review, another deep conversation over cocktails. We look through our Yelp app for quick tips because we're completely obsessed yelpers who can't consume anything without research. The waiter hands me a menu and I tell him I don't feel like eating breakfast, what does he recommend? He tells me the flat bread is his favorite. Okay, I can live with that. My lunch companions order breakfast. (Jaws music picks up - Da dum, da dum, da dum, da dum...) While waiting for our meal we discuss world politics, global warming and a possible mathematical solution to cold fusion. That's code for we aimlessly talked about Lori I teaching Zumba & body pump that morning, Kyle H helping out with a work Xmas party and our love for Val Y. We're way too tired to discuss the hard issues. I'm here to relax. (Jaws music is coming to it's finale - Da dum, da dum, da dum, da dum...) The waiter brings my plate, I eat my flat bread and my shark officially deflated. No bite, all hot air. Not a good choice at all. Be warned that breakfast is the way to go at Sweet E's my friends! I took a bite of Lori I's corn beef hash and it was scrumptious! Kyle H's breakfast potatoes were borderline orgasmic. Damn. So what we can learn from this story is to ALWAYS follow the quick tips and don't listen to what the waiter says, no matter how nice he is. I'll be back Sweet E's for breakfast with my BF and look forward to upgrading my review because your eggs benedict has 5-stars written all over it! Yelp 365 Challenge: #108/365 (The Shark Attack)

    I rarely eat breakfast out of the house for quite a number of reasons - I think it's the easiest meal in the world to cook and usually I'm so hungry in the morning I can't think of waiting forever for a table then food so I usually stick to the quickest thing I can reach for- open fridge, grab yogurt. Luckily, I can now get my breakfast fix quickly and even during off hours (7:00 am - 3:30 PM daily) Discovering Sweet E's was like finding the unicorn of breakfast spots: It doesn't require me to travel all the way to Kailua It doesn't make me squirm to think about its cleanliness It doesn't require me to wait an inordinate amount of time for a table.... ... although I hope that last qualifier doesn't change too much as I can see Sweet E's going in the way of Kalia, Cinnamon's, Boots, etc. because of its quaint charm, gorgeous decor and delicious breakfast food. As Lori and Emi pointed out, breakfast is definitely the way to go here and I can definitely vouch for Emi's comment that the potatoes served on the side of my omelet were ORGASMIC. If anything could have lifted me from the depths of exhaustion from Christmas party preparation, it was the buttery goodness (my assumption that they were soaked in butter because potatoes sure don't taste this good otherwise) of the food here and a fun lunch with a couple of great girls.

    This place was good, but not anything special. I was surprised by the reviews and the really long line. Perhaps we ordered wrong -- the stuffed french toast other people were getting looked really great.

    Updating my previous review as I had a great experience this morning. Its refreshing to arrive a breakfast spot at 930am on a sunday morning with no wait. There was plenty of parking. The two servers today were great. They were attentive and pleasant. I had the corned beef hash benedict which was great. It was filling and had good taste. The wife had croissant sandwich w/bacon. It too was very good.

    I came here to have brunch with bunch of friends and I was not disappointed. Parking: street parking. There is a parking lot, but usually gets full when it comes to brunch on weekends. When we got there, we couldn't wait inside the restaurant because the place is extremely small and we couldn't wait outside the door because the parking attendent had been harassing the customers; so we had to wait on the sidewalk a little further down. They would then come there to grab us from the line. I think we waited about 30 min. before being seated and we were 4th in line. We also had a big party so that might've been why it took so long to be seated. They also don't take reservations. Food: foodspotting.com/places/… It was just phenomenal! I wanted to order everything on the menu! I had the spinach feta croissant sandwich and tried some pancakes from other friends. I love my food spicy and they had a variety of hot sauces (including sriracha!!! woot woot!) to choose from... guess which one I picked ;) Venue: It's an extremely small place, but not so small that you feel claustrophobic. I loved the decor and felt like a quaint little place I discovered. Service: everyone here is friendly and the waiter kept refilling our glasses of water and mimosas! :) Overall: I plan on coming here with my husband for an intimate brunch date. It's cute and food is amazing.. why wouldn't I come here!

    Yelp Challenge 365 # 119/365 Took my client to lunch today and did 2 things which is highly unusual. First, I drove into Waikiki (my car struggles in Waikiki traffic) to pick up my client and second, chose Sweet E's without thinking of the parking situation. To my good luck, traffic was a slam dunk into Waikiki that I got to my client's office early... and when we reached Sweet E's, voila! Parking spot 2 stalls away from Sweet's door. On the way in, my client runs into an acquaintance who was just leaving and he recommended the Sweet E's salad, claiming it was the best salad around!. Took his recommendation and I had the Sweet E's salad. Ummm, don't want to demean this salad but it was an ordinary salad with a vinegarette dressing... $10.95 My client ordered breakfast; the hawaiian omelette with ranch potatoes... Cute little omelette. I guess it was okay. How can you screw up on an omelette right? $8.75 I am curious though which is what will take me back there is the taste and texture of their french toast.... with strawberries..... Saw a patron having the french toast and it looked divine! AND, will try their corned beef hash also. Stay tuned!

    Blueberry french toast amazing, breakfast burrito with Portuguese sausage to die for. Definitely worth the wait, best on island

  • Tamra P.

    By some odd coincidence, a girlfriend brunch coincided with a Yelp UYE at Sweet E's which meant the place was PACKED. And we had a wait. Not sure how long but luckily we had some catching up with each other to do. Decor was very cute and beachy. I saw an iPod w/ speaker but we didn't hear a thing, it was pretty loud and boisterous in there. Service was attentive and friendly, and water was refilled very promptly despite how busy the joint was. Everyone ordered a variety of omelets, pancakes, salads, and they all seemed to be happy with their selections. I chose the stuffed french toast and it was scrumptious. Fluffy pieces of sweet bread toast perfection, stuffed with cream cheese and blueberries (you can choose bananas if you prefer). Portions are generous (I was starving and couldn't finish), worth the $8 or $9+ price for many of the options. Despite the wait, overall good experience.

    Went in with high expectations and got shot down. After waiting for 45 minutes. Got our order in. Then noticed that people who came in after us getting their orders before us. Strike one. Got my order of fried rice, Portuguese sausage and eggs. Girlfriend ordered pancakes with corned beef hash and eggs. Fried rice was this dark shade of brown and salty as hell. Not sure what brand of sausage this was but it too was bad. Strike two. Girlfriends pancake was doughy and undercooked. Strike three. Don't think we will be coming back. Kaila Grill got these guys beat hands down!!!!!

    Came here cause of the reviews and this place did not disappoint. I had the stuffed blueberry french toast which was done just how you wish you could make your french toast. My boyfriend had the chicken pesto omelet, which I tasted and it was phenomenal. The service was quick and super friendly and it fits the typical hole in the wall feel, with great people and great food.

    There just aren't enough good breakfast places on this island because when they're as good as Sweet E's you can expect there to always be a long wait. It's a cute little restaurant located where India Cafe used to be in Kilohana Square and everything I've ordered from there so far is delicious and nicely presented. I always end up getting the stuffed french toast with 2 blueberry and 1 banana for variety and a side of something savory. If the wait weren't so long I'd go at least once a week.

    Tuesday morning around 9:30 AM, no line. Sweet. The one waitress there wasn't very nice, until she asked me about where we went hiking earlier (she saw my Vibrams and running shorts). Once we started talking, she became a little more relaxed and friendly. I decided on the Eggs Benedict, and I think it's the first time it didn't fill me up to the point of exploding, and they were delicious. Maybe actually my favorite Benedict so far, because it was a good portion, and the ingredients tasted fresh. The rest of the menu was pretty limited though, so I wasn't able to find another thing I'd order. 3.5 stars for the lack of options (and the bathroom is across the parking lot), but I'm rounding up to 4 for the good food that I did end up ordering.

  • Helene W.

    This is my new favorite brunch place! First of all, I am a huge eggs benedict fan, and this place has not one, not two, but THREE different but equally delicious options to choose from. You can't go wrong! It's especially great for couples who have very different taste in foods! The menu has all of the brunch necessities, omelettes, eggs benedict, blueberry cream cheese stuffed waffles, pancakes, breakfast burritos, a tasty entre called, "the mess", there are several different lunch sandwiches, and my personal favorite... turkey pesto, sundried tomatoes on foccoccia. It's DELICIOUS! This place also has the best corn chowder the cooks make from scratch. The cafe looks like a bright little Hamptons cottage, it's super cute. The staff is very friendly, and the owner, Ethel is wonderful! I know I'll be coming back here for years to come!

    I came here for Saturday brunch for 3 so the wait time was about 20-30 minutes. This place is small with great food, so expect to wait. Let me preface you by saying that although I love breakfast food, I normally don't like going out to eat breakfast simply because I don't like the idea of paying extra for food I can make on my own. Sausages, bacon, eggs, and potaters (Murica!), omelettes, pancakes, etc. all this stuff I can easily make at home so why eat out for this? Needless to say, I changed my mind about that after eating at Sweet E's. I loved it! This reminds me of the type of place that you'd see on Food Network's Diners Drive-ins and Dives show. You get the feeling that you're eating breakfast made from scratch in someone's home kitchen. Now whether the food really is made from scratch, I don't know, but it was delicious. And they give you a lot! I think I ordered the Denver omelette? It had bacon, mushrooms and cheese. I also had a side of hash browns. The others had the corned beef hash eggs benedict, the chicken pesto omelette (which I didn't get to try) and we all shared the infamous blueberries and cream cheese stuffed french toast. The food is killer. I'm sure you've read all about the stuffed french toast and yes, it's that good. More of a dessert than a breakfast, I'd say. I'm definitely glad I shared it rather than having an order to myself. My hat goes off to the corned beef hash eggs benedict, though. I've never seen that item on any other menu. I'll be coming back again. Cafe Kaila and Eggs and Things can suck it.

    Went at about 8:30 for breakfast. A little hidden gem off of Kapahulu ave. I ordered the chicken pesto omelette and my friend ordered the French toast. Both breakfasts were delicious! French toast melts in your mouth and the pesto omelette was one of the best omelettes I've ever had the pleasure of eating. Good service and parking (perhaps its because none of the other shops were open yet?). Will definitely be back!

    So I've had this place bookmarked since forever and I'm so damn happy that my first time finally here was aweeesome! We came on a Sunday morning and surprisingly both parking lots were crazy full. After some mulling around we finally found a spot. Right. In. Front! Plus 12 stars (I hate walking). Walking in was a pleasant surprise. The room isn't that big so there was an immediate cozy feeling. Loved the intimate atmosphere. Perfect place for breakfast with the bf, gf, bff, anyf. Let me just say one thing before I forget. The service was phenomenal! There was one male waiter/host and although I think it was just him working the front (which was decently busy) he never failed to have our waters filled promptly or have our food out hot. I also noticed that he was constantly checking up on others and always had water or coffee refills at the ready. The fact that he was working solo and doing such a great job was so impressive. I hope he gets an Employee of the Month plaque! Moving on to the nom nommy food. A friend ordered the Blueberry Cream Cheese Sweet Bread French Toast with a side of Herb Roasted Potatoes. I ordered the Everyday Breakfast that came with two eggs, corned beef hash (a choice of meat) and two banana pancakes (a choice of starch). It all was so yummy! The French Toast was heavenly and the Banana Pancakes were so fluffy, moist and delicious! To top it all off the price for all of our food which came in kind of sort of huge portions was about $20 bucks. CAN YOU SAY NEVER LEAVING? The price, service, portion sizes and location off of Kapahulu make this one of my new go to spots! Thanks E! You're definitely Sweet!

    I came to Sweet E's for my birthday this year. I went on a mere whim after feeling adventurous in my new year of life. To my surprise, this was a pleasant discovery. I had The Hot Mess, which was a beautiful bashing together of hash browns, eggs, and everything but the kitchen sink! My wife had the chicken pesto omelette and we were blessed. Atmosphere is great, small dainty little location. I could not have asked for a better breakfast surprise for my birthday than Sweet E's Cafe.

  • Renee S.

    Got in before the breakfast rush. They were short staffed this morning, overall food was good. Homemade Corned beef hash yummy, could use a little more Corned beef. Turkey eggs Benedict was good, just the right amount of hollandaise sauce. Service was good, waiter was honest to those after us who had to wait.

    went to sweet e's for the first time about 2 weeks ago.. we were worried there would be a line..but we got there around 8am and there was no line.. but it did get busier shortly after. I tried the blubbery cream cheese stuffed french toast and iit was delicious.. not too sweet at all. Definitely going there again!

  • Shannale K.

    We've been seeing all the hype about this place so we wanted to try it out. This cafe is located in Kilohana Square, if you're not familiar with the area it's kinda hard but not difficult to find. Since it's a little hidden and the entrance to Kilohana Square is through a side street, if your driving on Kapahulu and you see "Mr. Ojisan Restaurant" that's where it's at. Parking: If you come early and you can score parking on the side street, I'd say that's the best parking. There are signs that says the parallel parking on the street is designated for Kilohana Square. Easy to get to your car after your meal and you don't need to worry about people passing or whatever. But there is a little parking area right in front of the cafe that's designated for Kilohana Square (which is where their patrons wait to be seated). If not there's a second parking area in the back of the building. There is a lot attendant though, heads up. He's just there to let you know where's open stalls. The Wait: If its your first time, like it was ours, you'll notice people waiting in the parking lot to be seated. Just walk into the cafe and find the clipboard with the list and write your name. We came on a Sunday morning at 8:45. Our wait wasn't bad at all, considering how much people was in front of us, I'd say about 20-25 mins?? There is a security guard and I noticed a sign about where to wait. I was a bit confused but I guess where ever there's an open space is where you wait? Inside: Its a little small, and don't be fooled by the mirror on the wall (it does a good job making the place look bigger.) There is a bathroom, but it's outside so you'll need a key. The place is cute and bright. Feels very "homey" or a little "beachy". The Food: What brought us here is the stuffed French toast with blueberries and cream cheese. And honestly, WTH is everyone raving about?! LOL. We had an order of that, the lox bagel and the basic eggs, potato and corn beef hash. The French toast was alright, but not amazing (maybe because we're not much a sweet tooth person.) The lox bagel and the corn beef hash on the other hand was GOOD! Hahaha, call us crazy but we enjoyed those more than the toast. Personally I love cream cheese and salmon, and I've never had a lox bagel before. So I figured I give it a try, and I'm glad I did...now I'm hooked! The corn beef hash was so crisp on the outside and moist inside, and there where chunks of potato and beef throughout. We also go iced tea and OJ. Everything came out to be under $34! We're defiantly coming back, just not the for toast :) but for the lox bagel and corn beef hash, and maybe something else. The Service: Once we got here they greeted us, let us know that we needed to sign in and wait. Through out our meal they did check on us a few times, but they were busy so we needed to wave them down for a refill a few also. But nonetheless, the service was good.

    In all fairness, I really want to give this place a 3.5. The place is cute and clean inside. They were steady when I went for breakfast at 9am but no one had to wait. THE GOOD: I give the service 5 stars. The waiters were super friendly and efficient, even though they were busy. I never got even close to my water or coffee. They had a lilikoi butter that was amazing. The coffee was very good. THE BAD: The food was not great at all, which was really surprising. I ordered one slice blueberry french toast, fried rice, and scrambled eggs. The real sad thing is that they use either a reconstituted egg powder or something similar, and I could definitely taste it in the scrambled egg alone and in the fried rice. The blueberry cream cheese french toast was really dry and tough on the edges. I spread the lilikoi butter on the french toast and that helped. I give the good a 2. 5 (service) + 2 (food) = 3.5 stars for this place. I may go back to give it another try.

  • Char P.

    The service was nice and attentive. We got seated quickly. I got the kalua pig eggs benedict, husband got an omelet with fried rice and toast. I liked we were able to order just 1 French toast (got the stuffed blueberry crème cheese). I got that for my 2 year old. It was a great size for her! All the food we got was super delish. I will be definitely back when we go back to the island.

    Excellent place out of the main stream areas. The place was clean, the staff was friendly and welcoming, friends and family photos on the wall, and background island jams on a Bose sound dock system, little touches like that make a good place Great. Number one above everything my eggs and waffles were perfect. Highly Recommend!

  • Cassie T.

    Talk about a hole in the wall kinda place! Sweet E's is the place for you if you like those little hidden treasure restaurants! This place is off of Kapahulu and I recommend using your GPS! Otherwise, you will never be able to find it. You turn down a side street and then it is a little shopping center. They have a small lot and we had no problem finding parking! I have to say that when we pulled in my husband did not want to go in because from the outside it looks like a place you would never want to eat. I immediately told him that Yelp has not done us wrong to date so get out of the car! When we walked in we were greeted right away and I noticed the décor is really cute. There are portraits of what seems to be family and friends on the wall and it has a beachy feel. This place has a very cozy and homey feeling. I ordered an iced coffee which was great and I love that they offer Sugar in the Raw. Yumm! I ordered the American Omelet and my hubby ordered the Corn Beef Hash Eggs Benedict as recommended by the waiter. Our food came out so fast I would say 8 minutes tops. And you may be think 8? How did I arrive at that number? I have no idea that just seems like the perfect amount of time. My omelet was very good the ingredients tasted very fresh. I wish that it was served with some sort of sauce but that would just be my preference. This omelet has bacon, sausage, onions, and mushrooms. The Corn beef hash eggs benedict was also very tasty...loved the Hollandase Sauce! Yumm. The corn beef hash was very crispy good twist on a classic breakfast item! Total Price: 28.64 (AWESOME)

    We had some out-of-town guests that we wanted to take out to brunch. The first place popping into our minds was Café Kaila. However, we were in the mood to try something different and avoid the wait time at Kaila. Well, wait time was no better at Sweet E's....and parking not that great either. However, the brunch was awesome. A hit for sure! I had the Epic Breakfast Burrito and opted for smoked salmon instead of the meats. I loved it! The burrito was big but they served it with a small serving of delicious salsa, that I had to ask for seconds of. My wife had the corned beef hash benedict. She liked it as well but said it was a bit too salty. My son is a French Toast fan and he inhaled his, so I assume it was good as well. I didn't try "The Mess" but I saw someone else eat it and it looked like something I'd try next time. Anyway, a great place! It's great that they are popular but if they had less wait time and easier parking I would rate it a 5.

    Parking: The parking lot is small but you can find some street parking. Ambiance: White-washed walls and window placement keep this place bright all throughout brunch. Service: Polite but slow since they can get really busy. Food: They have a decent sized menu with a varied amount of choices with slight spins on the classics. Went with the eggs benedict traditional with canadian bacon. Mine came out great but another of my party came out overdone so the consistency is not there. Still, my first eggs benedict was a success. Verdict & Takeaway: 3 stars for the inconsistent preparation. Food came out really slow though we did have a large party and they were overcrowded but that was balanced by the company and the wait staff who did what they could.

    Absolutely amazing! This was by far the best breakfast I have had in awhile. The kalua omelet is to die for. I'm reconsidering going back a second time just for that omelet. Everything we ordered was delicious, the food came out in a decent time, and it was all super fresh. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a hearty and delicious breakfast.

    Went here the other day with the Brunch Boozer crew and let me first commend the wait staff. We had a big group and we were pretty loud. The staff was very friendly and courteous. First off let me talk about the décor of this place. Sweet E's Café took over India Café in Kapahulu. They really brightened the space with white walls and black and white photos throughout which also made a smaller interior look open and spacious. And that big mirror on the wall helped with that as well. The only thing I had issues with was being spit on by the AC unit above us. Now for the food. I pretty much licked my plate and my girlfriend's plate clean. I ordered the corned beef hash eggs benedicts and she ordered the French toast stuffed with Blueberries and cream cheese. The corned beef hash was one of the better corned beef I had here. It mixed really well with the hollandaise sauce and egg. I ordered it with the Hash browns, cause I am a hash browns kinda man. The hash brown tasted like it was freshly made. It could have been a little crispier but it was good overall. As for the French toast stuffed with blueberries and cream cheese, yummy. In my opinion it had the right amount of stuffing, not too much and not too little, just right. And the portion size they give you is huge. I am not about quantity over quality. But if it has both then AMEN to that. You have 2 choices of stuffing, banana or blueberries with cream cheese. Next time I go here I will ask to have a stuffed French toast with Banana's and cream cheese.

    My girlfriend and I was craving breakfast and so we searched on yelp and stumbled upon this cute little breakfast place. The interior feels so homey and it's so cute for such a small place. Their Stuffed french toast was amazing. By far the best french toast I've ever eaten. Their hot chocolate reminded me of my childhood on the first sip. My bf took a sip also and he said it reminded him of his grandma. You know it's a freaking good hot chocolate when it does that to you.

    ON THE HUNT My friend JJ and I were searching high and low for breakfast one weekday morning. We were on the hunt SPECIFICALLY for breakfast foods, so there was nothing that lunch could fix for us at 11am. We initially headed down to Morning Glass, but decided against settling there because they didn't have ANY breakfast foods! WTF. Long story short: Yelp saved the day AGAIN by "suggesting" Sweet E's Cafe, which both JJ and I had never been to. I DO IT ALL THE TIME Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day; I do it in the morning, I do it in the afternoon, and I do it at night. I'm telling you, I'm so easily won over by eggs and meat, it's ridiculous. And Sweet E's has everything I need. At Sweet E's, breakfast is served ALL DAY. Yes, ALL DAY! From 7am-3:30pm, daily!! Lunch starts at 11am BTW, but who really cares about lunch... JK. KILOHANA SQUARE Sweet E's Cafe is located off of Kapahulu Ave, in Kilohana Square. It's a quaint little restaurant that could be easily overlooked. (Ex - I go to Calvin and Susie for pet goods all the time and I NEVER noticed Sweet E's hiding in that small, little corner.) And because Sweet E's is located in Kilohana Square, there's a pretty good amount of free parking... No need to pay the meter on the street. (Woohoo!) EGGS BENEDICT The Eggs Benedict was the first and last thing I spotted on the menu. (I actually don't even recall opening up my menu at all.) I was debating between the Traditional (Canadian Bacon) Eggs Benedict and the Corned Beef Hash Eggs Benedict, so I had our server help me choose. He said that the Corned Beef Hash Eggs Bene is probably the better choice bc the Corned Beef Hash is really good AND homemade. I'm really glad I listened to our server and went with the CBH Eggs Bene. It was definitely the way to go, and I will most likely order this version of Eggs Bene the next time I dine here. BTW, go with the herb roasted potatoes as your starch bc they are absolutely delicious!! JJ kept picking them off my plate! yelp.com/biz_photos/ozN2… *Looking back on my Eggs Bene dilemma, I really should have chosen the CBH right off the bat anyway... Think about it! Corned Beef Hash + Eggs Benedict = Bliss!! EXTREME MESS JJ ordered the Extreme Mess. I have no idea what it was, but it looked like some kind of omelette with an "extreme mess" of stuff in there... Lots of veggies, hash browns (?), meat, etc. mixed up in that eggy dish. I took a picture of it; it looks very fulfilling: yelp.com/biz_photos/ozN2… I had a pretty nice-sized bite, and it was scrumptious! VERDICT I highly recommend Sweet E's for all your breakfast fantasy needs. The breakfast serving hours are incredible: ALL DAY! And you may just run into a few cool Yelpers like Kyle H., Lori I., and Emi H. like I did! ;) Yelp 365 - #143/365

    Ok, gave this place another try because I love breakfast. Again scored a spot in the tiny parking lot & only waited about 5 mins for a table on a Sunday. We ordered quickly because were were starving. Then WAITED 45 MINS FOR OUR FOOD! This compounded by the snarky comments from our waitress while we ordered don't merit a return. BTW the "Everday breakfast" for $9.95 is a little steep for 2 eggs, breakfast meat & only 1 pancake (despite the menu listing "pancakes").

    I soooo missed this place. It's good to be home. Love love the corn-beef hash fully loaded breakfast burrito and the corn-beef hash eggs Benedict. Soooo Ono. Happy Chinese girl!!! Soooo ready for stuffed French toast and kalua pig omelette. Happy Chinese girl. Lunch time. I tried the BBQ bacon avocado flat bread. That is my next favorite meal there. Hungry. Craving Greek flatbread Veggie sandwich time. Cornbeef hash benedict. Greek flat bread for breakfast Flatbread and veggie pesto sandwich for lunch. Hungry. Kalua pork breakfast burrito & stuff French toast.

    so i decided to finally come here with a good friend of mine who came to visit and since everyone keeps telling me how good this place is. i would def. agree with my friends cause it was really good! can i just say ladies if you want just to have decent looking male servers then this place for you! haha i swear there are no female workers there....or maybe it was just that day. anywho. my friend ordered the blueberry french toast and it was off the hook. i had...some omelette and it was pretty good too. very big meal. other than that..i would come back here again for the french toast blue berry. so ono and prices weren't bad either.

    This place is amazing! This was the best breakfast I've ever eaten! We were so impressed by the food, the atmosphere, and the service. It was so nice to find a place that had such great food at reasonable prices. We are only in Oahu for one more day, and can't wait to go back before we get on the plane!

  • Trevor T.

    solid breakfast joint! tried their banana pancakes and blueberry french toast. both of 'em were winners. it's a hidden gem where you can enjoy a low key breakfast with friends. not a ton of seating and the place is popular, so you might have to deal with a bit of a wait. i'm told "the mess" and the various eggs benedict dishes are the way to go, so there's a lot of quality here. check 'em out if you're in the area and hungering for breakfast.

    I didn't even know there was a bunch of stores behind Kapuhulu by Mr. Ojisan (beginning of kapuhulu right off market city). Living here for so long you really get surprised after finding all these hidden treasures. Came here after hearing about all these stellar reviews about this place so I had to try it out for myself. The parking lot in the back is small so if you can't find parking here I suggest going to look for street parking. But street parking is also hard to come by unless you want to walk far. This restaurant is super small and inside there is a illusion that it is bigger because there is a giant mirror at the end . There is a sign in sheet and it was somewhat busy when I went. I only had to wait 10 minutes and I suggest to come in a small group (four or less) if you want to be seated quickly. Service was quick as they came right away with our waters. I ordered the corned beef eggs benedict. It was around $12 and I added fried rice for $0.50 more. It only took about five minutes for our food to come out. It came with two eggs benedict and one scoop of fried rice. It was small but very tasty. Pretty good experience I would probably come here again and I like this place because they take credit card unlike other breakfast places in the area. Sweet E's also serve lunch later during the day .

    Mahalo Mahina and Trevor for treating me to Sweet E's Cafe. WOW! I was very impressed. The service was A plus. So friendly and they remember their customers. Very atttentive. The place is so fresh and the mirror at one end of the room makes the place look expansive. Tuesday at 10:30 am and the place is filled to capacity. The food was wonderful. We shared breakfasts. Banana stuffed french toast could be dessert. Sooo Ono! The eggs benedict was excellent. We had both the traditional and the corned beef hash. The hollandaise sauce was delicious. I could eat a bowlful of that stuff. Fried rice was not my favorite but I loved the roasted potatoes and hash browns. I ate way too much but it was all so delicious! BTW, we had leftovers. Portions were generous. Prices were very reasonable. The value is definitely here!!! I will be back.

    So this used to be one of my favorite breakfast places until my most recent visit. The service is normally very good but I guess they have some new employees that either don't like their job or don't care about customer service. So today I ordered one of their eggs benedict entrees (which is normally on point) and I told the waiter that I wanted my egg cooked all the way through. They dish came out wrong and so did my friends. So I sent it back and I guess they cooked the egg but at that point the rest of the dish was cold. And now for the finale, I'm halfway through one side of the dish and I see a hair! One of the waiters came and I asked him if that looked like a hair to him and he didn't reply, he just took the dish away. No one every came to apologize or anything. And as if my meal could end any worse, I look up and a woman is changing a dokie diaper at her table! I'm not sure why this was allowed but I'm definitely over sweet e's. o and Btw the cook was I the back with no hairnet and I tank top so I'm guessing the hair I found was probably from his underarms!

    Good breakfast, nice variety on the menu. The eggs Benedict was ok, but nothing to rave about. Service was attentive and friendly. On the other hand I'm not sure if it's worth waiting 20 minutes for a table at this place, you'll have to be the judge. Parking can be a bit scarce too. I'll be back to try the waffles next time

    Sweet E's Cafe is a cute restaurant with a handful of tables, an appetizing menu and great service. When I sat down and looked at the menu, I instantly fell in love with this place. I looked over at the other tables to get an idea of what I was getting into, and I was assured that any choice would not have been a regrettable one. I had the american omelete, which was complete with mushrooms, onions, sausage, and bacon, and they made it the way I like my omeletes: thin layer of egg that blankets a cheesy layer of heaven. They even have an egg-whites option!!! It gets better. Sweet E's offers a variety of starch sides including white rice, fried rice, hash browns, or herbed potatoes. I got the hash browns, and they were nice and crispy. The restaurant was packed with customers, but the service was quick and friendly. My water glass was always filled and so was our morning brew. I'll definitely go back.

  • Sam M.

    Recently they seem to not be seating people as fast, as to try to artificially create demand. They are already a small cafe, they don't need to do that. The quality of the food has dropped some, but still tastes good to those who didn't experience the greatness when it first opened. My bf still loves it here, I would choose somewhere else .

  • Zach D.

    Best breakfast joint in East Honolulu. Get there earlier, though (before 10am), or prepared to deal with at least a 30-min wait. The banana pancakes are an absolute must.

    Tucked away in little Kilohana Square where Kaimuki meets Kapahulu, is a quaint and cozy restaurant called Sweet E's Restaurant; named after the young Korean owner, Ethel Kim. Who would've thought that only seven months before that, Ethel's coffee making and serving skills would evolve into a breakfast/lunch connoisseur. Ethel left her job at Starbucks in Sept. 2011 and opened Sweet E's in Oct. 2011...and never looked back since. Though parking is limited to a small parking lot and street metered parking right on Kapahulu Ave. fronting Mr. Ojisan Restaurant, it is not impossible to find and definitely worth it. I had breakfast there at 9:30am on a Saturday and though the restaurant was full, the wait wasn't long at all. However, upon leaving, there were a lot more people outside and a glass container to dispense water to patiently waiting customers. The restaurant was very coastal/beachy with black and white pictures of Ethel and her friends. BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE TOAST: YUM! I recommend perhaps ordering a side order of something salty/savory though as it's a whole lot of sweetness to eat without any interruption of salty/savory goodness. I am one of those who, when eating something salty, has to have balance and have something sweet and vice versa. BELGIAN WAFFLES: CRISPY GOODNESS! Very crispy yummy waffles with lots of fruits. Loved it! CHICKEN PESTO OMELETTE: SAVORY DELIGHT! If you love pesto, you'll love this omelette! So original and oh so good! So that's all I've tried so far, but rest assured, you won't be disappointed! The staff is friendly and Ethel is really so down-to-earth and downright cheerful. If you love Cafe Kaila's, another fave of mine, you will LOVE Sweet E's!!!

  • Gemma R.

    When you look at the pictures, it seems like this place is huge but it really sits about 20-30 comfortably. I love the beach/cottage feel to it and when we got there, the wait was about 10-15 mins on a Sunday during peak times. I suggest taking a look at the new but ridiculously expensive dog store and furniture store near by that had just opened. I ordered the corned beef hash benedict with has browns. While I thought it was good, it lacked corned beef hash. The BF orders the blueberry cream cheese french toast and that too lacked the cream cheese. Other than that, it was really inexpensive, they had good coffee and I really liked the service. I can't wait to go back and try something else.

    (4)

  • Kathy C.

    It was really good, but if you're starving and not there right when they open, be ready to wait in the line for about 30-45 min. It's a cute little place. Their menu was creative and lots of sweets. I'm not too keen on having a sweet breakfast, but it was good. Hence the name Sweet E's. My husband got the blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast and I had the Kalua eggs benedict. The benedict had too much garlic where that's all you tasted.

  • Anonymous W.

    Awesome place. Stuffed french toast is fantastic. My wife and I split that and a breakfast burrito. Both were great and we left full. All that plus two ice coffees came to 24 bucks. Total bargain.

  • Shirley W.

    Food is okay. Nothing special. My husband had French toast, not enough taste although it's fluffy and right texture. I had Chicken pesto omelet, which is good. Egg is fluffy and chicken is juicy. If you are in a rush, don't go there. We sat there for more than an hour (from ordering to leave). The waitress is not friendly. She gave me an attitude after I ordered an espresso. Also, no espresso machine, just regular coffee. Doubt that will go back again. Another thing is my husband waited for his French toast for an hour but the family couple tables away from us had their French toast in 15 minutes (saw they know the owner). That's not the type of restaurant I would like to go to.....

    Once again the food was delicious and the portion just right. And of equal importance, the service is now very prompt and efficient. Congratulations Sweet E's! I'm happy to report that they now have a waiting list system and have additional seating while you're waiting. They also have an outdoor ice water station for guests to stay hydrated while waiting in the sun. But don't fret, there are several areas to wait in the shade as well. At the water station are a couple of menus so you can ponder what delicious dish to try. We arrived today at about 10:30 a.m.. There were at least 3 to 5 parties before us but the wait was only about 15 or so minutes. Upon being seated we were swiftly asked if we wanted to start with something to drink. Once the coffee and waters arrived our food order was taken. Throughout the meal, water and coffee were refilled without our having to ask. Kudos Sweet E's for acknowledging and fixing your previous service flaws!!

    Blueberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast! YUM!!! You can order just 1 to share with your table, which us girls did! I ordered the chicken pesto omelette, comes with hash brown, rice, fried rice (extra $$), or roasted potatoes; and toast. I went with the pots and skipped the toast. I had to take half of the omelette home as well as half of the pots! SO YUM! I get to eat it for dinner too! I came at 8:45am and put us on the list. By 9am, we were called in. We walked out at 10:15am and there were lots of people waiting...COME EARLY, or expect a wait! There's a parking lot in the shopping center or additional parking around the corner. I lucked out on a meter spot on Kapahulu! 3 ladies split the check (2 omlettes, 1 eggs bene, 1 tea, 1 coffee, 1 stuffed french toast = each of us paying $17, including tip and tax!)!! What a great morning! :)

    Enjoyed our breakfast here. Family of 4 who stopped in on our way to Diamond Head. We were the first to arrive so had no wait issue. Food was very good. Excellent hashbrowns and eggs benedict. My only issue was the hot chocolate prepared for my 9 year old. It was so hot he couldn't drink it! Nice waitstaff and decor. Wort the stop.

    The moment I walked into this cute breakfast place I felt this great cozy vibe.... Server was polite and really chill, told us we can have a seat wherever is available, brought us water, menus and asked if we needed anything else. I liked how he wasn't too overwhelming, he seriously knew when to come to our table. The decor is very cute also not too overwhelming and perfect for Hawaii's environment. Of course people have to understand that if the food is freshly prepared it'll take a little while for the food to be made, its not like we are at a corporate food chain place where everything is previously frozen and all they have to do is defrost. You can tell this place makes all their stuff fresh, so even if i was hungry I really didn't mind the wait I enjoyed sippin' on my coffee that actually tasted great, comparing to all other breakfast places this coffee wasn't watered down you could taste the actual coffee (and I'm very picky on my coffee btw). Well when our food finally arrived I enjoyed every bite of it... Very Tasty! We ordered a traditional breakfast and traditional eggs benedict, both very very tasty, we actually had no leftovers left that's how yummy it was :) ... I also heard the french toast is fantastic so that'll be what I'll have to order next time I go, which will be vary soon.. A note for people who like bacon - they actually give you waaaay more bacon than any other place I've been to, the usual is 2 strips at Sweet E's Cafe I think they gave about 6, wow... And a note for people who love fruits (like me): they have at least a tiny bit of fruit on every plate they serve, love it...! I'm actually surprised how low their prices are for the quality of food they offer, I will defiantly be back many more times to support this great little breakfast place since its still new and blooming.. Just keep up the great work, people will be coming and I will defiantly be recommending!

  • Jessica S.

    Pretty good food. Been here twice and I'll return. I've had the Denver omelet and the steel cut oatmeal (made without milk though--that is pretty sacrilege to me though!). I also ordered a pancake side because I was being a fatty...nice and fluffy. The omelet was great; initially it looks a little on the small side but it's THICK. It came with toast and hash browns. My only complaint is that sometimes the service is really lacking. It's like friends of the owner who are the waitstaff and they don't really know what they're doing. It gets pretty busy sometimes so it's easy to get overlooked.

    A couple weeks ago I got off of work early enough to have a late brunch. The initial plan was to try Cafe Kaila, but BF and I were thwarted yet AGAIN by the long line outside. Oh well, maybe another day. We decided to give Sweet E's a try since it was just a minute or two away from Market City....and I imagine a lot of their business comes from people like us who were too hungry to wait for Cafe Kaila. We found parking in front and were seated right away. The waitress took our order within a few minutes, and we admired the decor while we waited for the food (family photos on the walls - very charming and homey!). Corned Beef Hash Eggs Benedict with Potatoes ($11.95) The corned beef would have been great had it not been for the excessive vinegar/peppercorn flavors that dominated the entire dish. My mouth was burning after a few minutes. :( Maybe I came on an off-day when they allowed the corned beef to soak too long in the marinade/brine....but it totally killed my taste buds! Sad. The potatoes that the waitress recommended were tasty, though a little too oily for me. Regular Eggs Benedict with Hash Browns ($10.95) BF said it was just okay, your normal eggs benedict. I tried some of it and found the hollandaise sauce to be on the weaker/watered down side, and I definitely preferred the potatoes over the hash browns. While the food was average, the service was sub-par. After our food arrived, not once did the waitress check to see how we were doing. As it was a weekday and not busy at the time, I thought that was odd to say the least. Yes, the water was constantly re-filled, but there was a separate busboy who did that. Since we live within 5 minutes of Sweet E's, the sheer convenience means we'll probably give it another shot sooner or later....but after this experience I'd rather make the drive to Kailua, where at least I know I'd get my money's worth for breakfast.

    Came here to eat breakfast. Took almost 50 mins to get it. Terrible service. Another table came in behind us and were eating within 10 mins. My wife saw that they served them first because they knew them. Food was decent, nothing special. Had the french toast, not much taste but was so hungry from the wait. Will never come back again.

    Pretty good breakfast. Staying in my go to list for weekends since its terribly hard to find a place without a long wait these days. Food: -Eggs benedict with corner beef hash instead if ham was pretty good. They use nutmeg or something frou frou in the corned beef though. Hash brown nice and crispy. -burrito was good but the mango salsa was again a little frou frou and a bit too sweet. - pancakes were on the chewy side ns super fluffy. Taste we average. -coffee was diner style coffee that probably sits too long on the burner. The good: -Decor is cute -staff is friendly -wasn't crowded at 830 on Sunday. -food came out relatively quickly -plenty parking. Less good but not terrible: -boy it gets hot with the morning sun -they serve meadow gold juices (POG, etc) -food is good to decent but didn't wow. Hope they change their coffee!

    This place was recommended to me by a friend. It's in town and parking and seating is a little cramped - but well worth it. I had the blueberry and cream cheese stuffed French toast, and my sister had the Kalua pork eggs Benedict. All I can say is wow, went to cinnamons earlier in the week and had the red velvet pancakes - even after that the French toast was awesome. I already want to go back for a great brunch and it's so close. The kalua pork eggs benedict was also delicious - both my Sister and I were pretty satisfied. We went on a weekday morning, and while the parking lot is small and awkward, we found parking immediately. There was no wait, and we were seated as soon as we walked in. There was only a single waitress working, but the restaurant is pretty small - 8-10 tables. I thought the service was excellent, and the waitress made me feel like I was eating at home. This place is exactly what it seems like - a simple, straight forward brunch spot. The food is good, without trying to hard, and the atmosphere is casual. I would go back again.

  • Spencer L.

    Sigh, where to begin. We were excited from other reviews. The plate of fruit was especially enticing. On the spur of the moment, we decided to try this place. Big mistake. The experience started off badly and went downhill from there. We walked in right in front of one of the servers. He did not even acknowledge our presence, just walked right by. He was wearing a cap backwards. We sat ourselves at the only clean table. We sat some more. I decided to get up and get my own menu. That's when one of the servers gave us menus. We had to flag one of the servers down to let them know we were ready to order. We ordered the plate of fruit and their "messy" plate. Sorry, I forgot the actual name, but it was eggs, potatoes, meat all scrambled together. My guess was these were not hard dishes to make. About thirty minutes later, the server came and apologized about the long wait and said it would be just a little bit longer. There was no complimentary juice or anything to hold us over. By now, my wife was getting irritated. Close to another thirty minutes later, still no food, and the tables that came before us were not served either. By now, both of us are hungry, irritated, and angry. The origins of breakfast is to "break fast" of the night, not to continue fasting. Sigh. While we were waiting, we drained our water glasses, the server with the backward cap came by with a water pitcher, looked at our empty glasses and continued on. We had to call him back to fill the glasses. We decided to leave and find anywhere else for now what has become lunch. When I notified the server that we'd be leaving, he didn't seem fazed. I got the feeling the kitchen didn't even start on our order. Can't even comment on the food, we didn't get any. This was breakfast, ordinary breakfast, not some kind of complicated fine dining menu that required many hands and specialized training. simple breakfast. A total waste of time. Definitely will not be back. On the survey questions: Not good for breakfast, not good for brunch, very little to no waiter service, not good for groups, probably not good for kids either (too long of a wait). Just a bad bad bad experience. Bleh!

    given the rave reviews, i had really high expectations... 5 stars for ambiance---super cute! loved the decor. 3.5 stars for food---my husband's food was really good, as was my side order of fried rice. but my french toast was "meh"--thank god for the side of fried rice! and my iced coffee was more like iced whole milk with a splash of coffee...i couldn't drink it. and sadly, 1 star for service. SO disappointing. maybe they were short handed that day, maybe it was because we were off on the side, but it was awfully slow. we waited about 45 minutes for our food. 15 of those minutes, i watched our order sit on the counter while it got cold. (maybe that's why my french toast was so, "meh") i watched as the waiter passed it by about 5 times...i watched as my husband grew more and more irate. :/ i was about 1 minute away from walking up to the counter to grab the food myself, when it finally was brought to our table. i was really hoping for a winner here...

    I wanted to take my friend for brunch/lunch on a weekday and she suggested this place from researching on Yelp. It is in Kapahulu in Kilohana Square and the parking is a little tight. Thank goodness it wasn't busy and crowded as I would've accidentally ran my truck into the Mercedes parked next to us. We got there around 11:00ish and there was only one table of six seated. We were greeted really quickly by a worker and sat down. The decor is super homey and the pictures on the wall spoke about the owner's family and friends. There was a pretty simple menu and the server read us a Korean special. Since I inhaled Korean food the night before, I opted for the big breakfast. Scrambled eggs, portuguese sausage, and fried rice for an additional fee. Pretty big portion with a little side of papaya. Also ordered an iced coffee. My friend ordered the eggs benedict and a side of one pancake. The portions are pretty big and presented nicely. I almost ate my entire breakfast minus a little piece of scrambled egg which I convinced myself would push me over the edge if I ate it. I also thought if I omitted that piece it would have prevented flatulence. The restaurant was so comfortable and down to earth we could have stayed talking there for a while. We were talking so much that I didn't realize I ate all that food. Anyway a nice little, cozy restaurant to have brunch at. I would eat here again.

    We had the blueberry stuffed French toast, the big mess and the corn beef hash Benedict all were really good. We got it to go because the line was so long. The food came out quick and was still excellent. Be prepared to wait in line if you are going to eat there.

    Food: Corned beef hash eggs benedict was salty. $9 Banana stuffed French toast was dry. Reasonable price. Service: Waited over 50 min for breakfast. Ambiance: Beware of air conditioner spitting water onto tables and customers below.

    Love this place! My sister too me to Sweet E`s cafe for a late breakfast and it was such a treat!! The location is a little hard to find and the parking situation is not very friendly, but if all the stars are lined up and you get a good parking and see no line out the door... definately stop by! The atmosphere of the store is very cozy and relaxing. It makes you feel like you are really by the beach... when you are actually in Kapahulu! The shells and the pictures on the wall makes it a really homey and comfortable place.. it is a little girlish but would be totally cute for a breakfast date with your honey! I opted for the French Toast with all the fruits.. blueberry, strawberry and banana... it was more than enough fruits, nothing stingy here!! I really like the Waffle at Cafe Kaila, and it kind of reminded me of of theirs. My sister got the breakfast plate with Corn Beef, bakes potato and eggs. The actual reason we went there was because she wanted me to try their corn beef! If you are looking for a place to eat GREAT corn beef.. this is the place you should go! It is crispy on the outside but moist on the inside! They didnt just warm it on the grill.. they COOKED it on the grill..until it gets crispy! It was absolutely great and with the potato.. you cant go wrong there!! If you are looking for a cute romantic breakfast date that has amazing food... Sweet E`s Cafe is the place to go!! Its a 5 star!

    My kids took me here for my birthday brunch. Bennies all the way around! Corn beef, kalua, and florentine. Very yummy! I ordered mine with hash browns and when it came...it took up half my plate! Then...we had the french toast with the blueberry/cream cheese filling. O M G! I needed to be carried out of there after all of that. Cute place, great food.

    This is the best breakfast place not just on the island, but out of anywhere I can think of! Everything on the menu if made fresh to order! I guarantee you will be happy with anything you order! The food is delicious, the staff is very friendly and accommodating, the price is right and the coffee is great! The stuffed french toast is soooo good!!! Are you ready to have your tastebuds blown away? This is my recommendation: order the banana-filled french toast, add strawberries and order a side of papaya. Spoon out chunks of papaya on top of the french toast, poor the syrup and ENJOY! Honestly, you will be happy with anything you order here. This is a must stop for breakfast any day of the week!

    Enjoyed a Sunday brunch with 2 other girlfriends. First time for all. It was a 20 min+ wait at 10 am, but found a tree to take cover under while we waited. We ordered the Traditional Eggs Benedict, American Omelet and Corned Hash Eggs Benedict. YUM! Servers were really nice and service was fast. They didn't even rush us out as we got caught up in the moment and didn't notice the crowd waiting for our table. Sorry, but we will be back!

    I am writing this update cause as i said, everyone deserves a second chance. My biggest concern on my last review was the service. I have to say that it was much better this time around, probably because it wasn't crowded. I dined there yesterday at about 10:00am with my sister and her family. There were lots of parking and the restaurant wasn't crowded at all. We were greeted right away with menus. The waitress took our drink order right away and was prompt in bringing it back. We ordered a veggies eggs benedict, corned beef hash eggs benedict, blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast, and the scramble. The english muffin on the veggies benedict wasn't toasted. I think it was because it was a cold dish. Im not sure if it was meant to be cold because of the veggies. Taste was good. The fried rice that came with it had good flavor. The corned beef hash benedict was hot and very good. I had ordered toast with my benedict which came out cold. But at least this time i got butter and jelly! The blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast was very good. A little heavy for breakfast but still very tasty. The scramble was nothing different. Just everything scrambled together! All in all i would say the food and the service was good enough for me to return, which is great because i live right up the street and it's nice to have another option for a breakfast place. I love breakfast food!

    Lets just say this was a great breakfast spot. My friends wanted to take me to Cafe Kaila, but thought this was a more local experience. First, the parking was super easy. Got a spot right in the front. Then we were greeted by some very good looking servers. I'm just saying, it's nice to have some ice candy while I'm nibbling on my french toast. The restaurant is not very big, but I felt it was a good size to not feel overwhelmed and rushed. Our server greeted us with a warm smile and we were seated almost immediately. We decided we would do it family style and share our meals. We ordered the chicken /pesto omelette, corn hash eggs Benedict, and the blueberry French toast. The chicken pesto omelette was my favorite. It sounded kinda of weird chicken and an omelette, but it was my favorite out of the 3 things we ordered. I had the corn hash eggs benedict and wasn't too happy with it. It was extremely salty, but I didn't want to send it back because we were a bit pressed for time. The french toast was tasty, but I'm not much of mushy textures. It almost reminded me of cream cheese and a cheese danish. I just ate the outside part of the french toast. I think the filling makes it a bit mushy. Our server was really attentive and always refilling out coffee without us asking. Overall, it was a really good breakfast experience and happy it was my last stop before heading to the airport.

    Best breakfast place in town. Bit of a wait but there's a reason. Been here 4 times and the wait has been less than 20 minutes, so its not bad. Everything I've ever ordered here has been to die for, even the fried rice is astronomically better than Ive had before. My favorites would have to be the omlette with pesto and the stuffed french toast. Service is great, bunch of friendly, laid-back people, and it's a quaint little place with a good atmosphere, although a bit small. Definitely my go-to weekend brunch place.

    Breakfast might possibly be my most favorite meal of the day! I've been here a few times so far for brunch, and it's been awesome! Located in Kilohana Square off of Kapahulu, it feels like you're walking into a Banana Republic or a Jcrew. When you're still hungover and it's too bright outside, this can be a major hindrance! The menu is pretty extensive for being open until lunch only. Think they close at 3:30? Omelets were good. Blueberry stuffed french toast was amazing! I'm usually trying to watch my figure, but I ended up having a corn beef eggs benedict this morning. Wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be though. Everything else we've tried has been really good though. Service has always been awesome when we've gone. Water and coffee always refilled without asking and servers are really friendly. Can't get better than that :) Perfect place to take the person you brought home the night before errr to have a slumber party with? in the morning. Will be back for sure!

    I usually get the eggs Benedict but thought I'd try something different so I went with the Epic Burrito. And man it was epic. Loved it. Service was awesome. We had a group of six so they gave us a menu and took our order. We did wait a little but right when we got our table the food came. Good job.

    Went to Sweet E's Cafe with some friends who live part-time in Honolulu. Great local breakfast place -- glad to escape from the madness (and food mediocrity) of Waikiki. Had a good breakfast with scrambled eggs, sausage patties, and a pancake. Service was great... good place that I'd be happy to return to.

    Came on Easter morning and had a short wait. What is better than waiting with a tub a fresh fruited water and fresh flaky cookies? With this, i am willing to wait forever. The place is rather small but the turn around time is quick. Decor and ambiance was merry. Talk story, no need be soft and whisper. The team work is great and everything just made you feel welcomed. Made my own omelet with fresh spinach, mozzarella and bacon. This came with a hash brown (choose from rice, potatoes, fried rice) and toast. I had sour dough toast and the waiter kindly provided their homemade lilikoi and guava butter. Wowzers... Butter was delicious omelet fresh and hash brown was crispy. My Honey had an omelet with fried rice and toast. Very good and quite tasty with unique flavors in the fried rice. The same with fresh corn beef hash. Something like kafir lime or saffron, or a citrus herb that makes this corn beef rock. Price is a Little more than what we usually spend on breakfast, but for freshness and flavor... it is worth it.

    Experience started off with a very weird rent a cop telling us that we cannot stand in the shade because we're loitering in front of Jun Flowers which has a sign "by appointment only" hanging in the window. Oh and it's Sunday, 9am and one store is open in the whole center. Our options are to stand in front of Sweet E's in the blaring sun or out on the street where they will come to call us when its our turn. We opted for the hot sun but were reprimanded yet again for actually standing IN the parking space where we could be injured despite the fact that there is practically no traffic except for the foot traffic going to Sweet E's from the parking lot on the other side of the building where we were directed by super cop. Finally get in. Corned beef hash benedict was pretty good. Pancakes too. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered and service was excellent. Would have been better without the sunburn though.

    Charming place, cute local boys serving up breakfast with a smile, inexpensive and the food is good. I had the corned beef hash eggs benny. Super ono but the muffin was kinda hard. My bf had the kalua pig omelet and he loved it. Get there early or get stand outside and wait. My coffee and water was never empty. You may have to sit next to stranger but I like that. Good for business too. Eat and go-quick table turnover.

    a serious fan here. this is a total hidden gem and I hate to think like this but I hope that the Japanese magazines dont get wind of this one. The decore is simple, very east coast B&B ish, the menu is simple, the food is full of aloha and love. Friend went there with her mom and came home raving about it and so we made for a good time and when we go there, we can sit ourselves down and instantly got comfortable. she had the waffles with fruits on em and to be honest, nothing too special. But you can see the attention to detail on it and it was awesome. I ordered something called the mess and it was great. its one of those things that I would probably make at home since I am single but could probably never get it to where I want it to be. Food was fast, ono licious and the coffee was outstanding. oh.. GF loves the sourdough bread too. but all in all a hidden gem right in kapahulu. Would never expect it by looking from the outside but once inside, a nice treat. made with love and its obvious. no matter how busy or crazy they get, I hope they dont forget that element. the smiles and eagerness are sincere and its made me a huge fan.

    We visited Sweet E's on the recommendation of family who live on Oahu. They are a little hard to find if you aren't familiar with the area, tucked away in a little shopping center whose parking lot is on the side of the building opposite of the street. The ambiance is cozy, perhaps ten to fifteen tables, but as we visited on a Monday morning around 8, there wasn't a wait. Only two or three of the tables were empty when we arrived. The service was prompt and friendly. It looks like the small staff shares the duties, as three different people waited on us between beverage order and the check. The food was solid. The pancakes were large and fluffy with a slightly nutty flavor. The coffee was hot and tasted fresh. I am a hapa haoule married to a blond girl from the mainland. I'm pretty confident we were the only non locals this morning, but we the staff made us feel right at home. Really glad to have stopped here.

    I have been eyeing this place out ever since it opened and I finally got the chance to go try it today. The decoration and atmosphere was very tasteful. I felt like this cafe belonged next to a sea instead of the disappointing view of the parking lot. The food itself was very satisfying. Buttermilk pancakes - A order comes in a stack of three. The texture was pretty thick and it had a hint of cinnamon. Pretty good but nothing extraordinary. Hawaiian Omelet - I believe it takes skills to make omelets the way Sweet E's does. The egg is thick and she does not hold back on the ingredients. It was not salty at all considering there was spam, Portuguese sausage, and cheese all together. It was actually perfect. It wasn't oily and went so well together you can opt out on the rice. Chicken Pesto Omelet - No words to describe it. It was perfect and super yummy. One word of advice though, get the HERB POTATOES as a side. They are soooo good. You will regret it. Why 4 stars? The price is a little bit too much. If you're a quality person, it's definitely worth it. However, if you're a quantity and variety person, for the amount you pay, you can definitely go somewhere better.

    Pros: Service, Decor is cute. Cons: Food sucks, long wait times for breakfast food. Long wait (over 30 minutes). I ordered "The Thing" which is like an omelette and hash browns jumbled together and my girlfriend had their classic Eggs Benedict. We noticed people that were seated after us had eaten and left by the time we even got our food. Seems some people are regulars and get better service? Not the type of place I like to patronize. So after over half an hour of waiting (absurd for breakfast food - I could buy ingredients and cook them in less time), we received overcooked Eggs Benedict (hard boiled yolks) absolutely drowned in Hollandaise sauce. The muffins were not crispy either and the hash browns accompanying them were uninspired. Flat and mushy. My "thing" was similarly overcooked yet cold and lacked any real flavour. The bell peppers lacked much bite and lacked the crisp texture of fresh ones. Similarly the hash browns entwined amidst the dry (so unfluffy) eggs lacked any crisp. It seems their "chef" merely tossed all the ingredients in the pan rather than really doing the hash browns properly first then adding in eggs to fluff it together. My sourdough toast arrived 5 minutes later as did the Eggs Benedict we had sent back. Calling it toast was rather silly though, as it was not in the least. That came back and it was still mediocre. When the Eggs Benedict returned, one was still overcooked and the other undercooked. Neither of us cleared our plates and my girlfriend looked like she was about to cry. We had both wanted to leave and probably should have but we were so hungry we just said screw it. Overall for $23 I was not impressed. Kaila Cafe is much better and right nearby. In fact I'd drive over the Pali or across town to get better food. If I'm going to wait I may as well get something decent. Overheard they had a new chef. Suggest they find another ASAP. Apart from the food being crap, the wait service was good and the interior was nicely decorated. We wanted to like this place. The decor is cute but without good food, what's the point? I will not return while better breakfast spots in East Honolulu remain. Both of us actually felt sick afterwards and this ruined the start to our day.

    Heard about this place from a friend and decided to try it ... no line when I got there and entered the restaurant - looked around saw a couple of empty tables - one waiter looked at me and I lifted my hand up indicating one - he directed me to write my name on the list, which I did, but was a bit taken back since there was no line but wrote my name down anyway. Waited a bit thinking I would be sat since there were tables but not so - it was a bit uncomfortable so i went outside, stood around, took a pic of their sign and then I was asked to come in ... found that to be so strange, awkward and uncomfortable with no line, open tables, etc., etc. Ordered an omelet and wanted to try their waffles to compare it to my favorite breakfast place. The omelet was overcooked and dry and the waffle was not crisp at all. Did not finish the omelet or the waffle. Service from beginning to almost the end of my meal was not good at all but finally, one waiter came over and said I looked like I was done (he was spot on - I was done) and closed me out. Just a note about writing my name down with no line - as I was sat and eating, a women came in, no line, open tables and she was sat immediately - - - that is what should have happened for me - - - it still boggles my mind why I was treated in that manner - - - I actually almost left as I thought about when I went outside to wait but glad I stayed to try it and now can i say i did and know what it was like.

    Wow! Ordered take out from here and glad we ordered a variety. The food definitely fed my "food baby!!" The blueberry stuffed French toast (as mentioned so many times) was perfect in deliciousness and serving. Looks daunting, but before you know it, you've gobbled it all up and time to move on to the next meal. Kalua eggs Benedict also very yummy. I was pleasantly surprised at how fresh everything was despite being a to go meal. The holandaise sauce is sep and oh so yummy! The Kalua Omlette was my favorite #3 and probably bc I'm stuffed at this point. Highly recommend you feed YOUR food baby with one of these selections!

    The hospitality was the key here. Everyone was so welcoming and attentive, it was a great way to start off our day. Many breakfast places just don't realize that customers come at the beginning of their day, and how they are treated sets the tone for their rest-of-the-day. Anyway, getting down to business, the corned beef hash eggs benedict was perfectly done--eggs just right with just enough hollandaise sauce. I do not care for food drowning in sauces, and I thought that the sauce serving was just fine. Perhaps earlier reviews on the lack of sauce had an effect on the sauce apportionment (thanks, fellow Yelpers!). I think I detected a touch of cumin in the corned beef, and this gave the dish the POP! The side of french toast was delicately sweetened and delectable. We split our eggs benedict and french toast, and I'd say for those watching their waistline, this is the way to go. Sweet E's is reminiscent of the Doyle Street Cafe, we ate at in Emeryville. Love the decor down to the cute stackable white dishes!

    This cafe is exactly how I would want my own restaurant to be. Simple and cute decor, good music, excellent food. Walking in, it reminds you of a beach house. Simple black and white furnishings with black and white pictures of nature, family and friends adorning the walls. An iPod attached to speakers is hidden in the wood work playing music from Maroon 5, Michael Buble and Corinne Bailey Rae. Before sitting down, I already knew what I wanted us to order from all the raving reviews from my fellow Yeeps. Husband got the Corned Beef Benedict. Best corned beef hash ever! It tasted like real corn beef you would have on St. Patrick's day. From my experience, most hashes don't taste that way. I can't say enough how good it was. He originally asked for hash browns with it, but after a quick scolding, I had him change it to the roasted potatoes. I couldn't have him pass up on the "orgasmic" potatoes. These had a lot of flavor for little potato chunks. Only complaint was that some of them were really salty. I ordered the Stuffed French Toast with blueberries and cream cheese. Oh sweet cheesus! Yummy. Not too rich or sweet, just right. You get 3 giant pieces of toast split in the middle with goodness inside. Together we had a sweet and savory breakfast to share. To top it off, our waitress brought us a free smoothie made with papaya, pineapple and blueberry. Not too sweet, refreshing and thick. In case you don't know where the Kilohana Square is, the entrance is off of Kihei Place which is the first Right on Kapahulu if you are coming from S King St.

    Sweet E's cafe was delicious! A great gem off the Honolulu strip where things are overpriced and not as delicious as they could be. I got an omelette with egg white only and fried rice. Extra cost for egg white only but definitely worth it for the amount of richness the fried rice had. The service was great, the cafe was a quaint little restaurant and the decor had what I assume were family photos. Added a great vibe to our dining experience. Would definitely go back if I ever make it back to Oahu!

    Found this place on Yelp and was not disappointed. I was a bit surprised when we were the only two for breakfast on a Monday, but since they've only been open a couple of months, it's understandable. We had the stuffed French Toast, a fruit plate and a side of Portuguese sausage (it is Hawaii after all). The French Toast was excellent, not too heavy or too sweet, the fruit plate was fresh and the sausage was cooked the way I like it, with crispy edges. I would go back to try the omelets or eggs benedict with Kalua Pork... sounded awesome. Hope they make it long enough for my next trip to the islands.

    Been meaning to come her for ages, first attempt was on a Sunday morning with my daughter which was unsuccessful, the parking lot was full and there were people waiting outside all over the place. Went today at around 9amwith my wife and there was plenty of parking and the place was half full. I had the breakfast burrito, my wife had a croissant sandwhich which we both thought were very YUMMY. But the best was the stuffed french toast (bluberries and cream) WOW, gotta try this when you go, this is the kind of place you want to tell everyone about but then not cause you don't want it to get crowded, but the word is out anyway. From what I remember everything was $8 or under but don't quote me.

    My car Gps was totally wrong, but luckily my iPhone map was able to get us there cause its tucked off of kapahulu, not on kapahulu as my gps instructed us. When we walked in it was pretty empty, but once we sat, it got really busy! We came at the perfect time, and were able to watch the craziness begin! The wait still doesn't compare to Cafe Kaila, which is where we normally would go, so well worth the wait. The ambiance is super cute, and the service is awesome. The servers are sooo friendly, and the food is BOMB! I had the stuffed french toast (YUMMMM) and the hubby had the corned beef eggs benedict (Double YUMM). Will definitely be back! Can't wait!

    I only ate here once, as a visitor to the island, but my meal was out of this world. We came on a Saturday morning I believe and there was a waiting list, but it wasn't too long. We did have to wait longer than most because we had a group of four and most of the tables were for couples I guess. Finding the restaurant was a little difficult, because it's hidden behind other buildings off the main road, but once we were seated, it was all good. The servers were very attentive, efficient, and friendly. The menu has a lot of variety, but based on the Yelp reviews (and photos) I decided to try the corned beef hash benedict. Everyone else at my table ordered the Kalua pork benedict. Both were AWESOME. The corned beef hash is homemade and the best I've ever had in my life. The texture was perfect and it was really well seasoned. Unfortunately I don't live in Hawaii, otherwise I'd be a regular. I need to figure out how to make corned beef hash like that!

    corned beef hash eggs benedict - AWESOME. i loved how un-salty it was.. as this island loves sodium belgian Waffle with fruit - amazeballs chicken pesto omelet - incredible that's all we ordered.. but then saw the girl sitting next to us get her "blueberry creme stuffed french toast" - my eyes were pooping out of my head & mouth dropped and there was probably drool ---- must go back to try!

    Returned once more to this great place that serves up awesome food. Enjoyed our breakfast consisting of hotcakes, corn beef hash Benedict, and the stuffed blueberry cream cheese French toast. Can't rave enough about the French toast because I loved it. Now for the not so good review, the parking is just ridiculously insane. It changed totally from my last visit. It was terrible, where you can't park in any of the stalls, had to park behind, and you couldn't stand in any part of the parking lot that was made of asphalt. They have a security guard in the parking lot informing you of where you can't stand and that you could only stand in the little area right outside of the Cafe. Mind you, you'd be standing in the hot sun while waiting for your table. I noticed that other groups of people were irritated with the situation as we were. We had to go to the parking entrance by the public sidewalk because that was the only authorized shady area where we could stand at without being hassled. Kilohana Square management needs to relook their parking and standing policy because that is no way to treat paying customers. It was irritating, rude, and awful! Overall enjoyed the food and staff very much but the parking and standing policy needs to be revamped to cater to customers, rather than upset and turn them off.

    The beef hash benedict was stellar, as was the stuff french toast. My man got the breakfast burrito and he was very happy with it. My only qualms- I substituted my accompanying starch for their fried rice. It was delicious but served cold. I'm talking... straight-outta-fridge-overnight-leftover cold. Bummer. Everything else was great.

    Been here two times, It's a little bit hard to find since it's hidden in a plaza. Parking can be a nightmare, but there are metered parking on the street. I have tried their Kulua Egg Benedict and the Cornbeef Hash Benedict, both are good . The Pesto Chicken Omelet was a little bit salty. Service was okay the first time we went and excellent this time. The price is a bit tad high for breakfast (benedicts are $12.95 each) but overall, we will come again if we are in the area :)

    I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone, at least not on a weekend. My boyfriend and I wanted to try this place because we heard great things about it. We arrived and had to wait 40 minutes to be seated. There is no outside seating or waiting area. It had been raining earlier that morning and so we were basically just standing in a parking lot all morning. When we were seated the service was quick, and we were served our food in a reasonable amount of time, but it was COLD! I got the eggs benedict and the sauce was tasteless, the muffin wasn't toasted and the food was room temperature. Next time I will make it at home myself! At least I can add flavor and it will be hot!

    Hard to find in the little strip mall but persevere. Fun local staff and fast service with high quality food. Omelettes and French toast were the highlight. Good value and not as crowded as other more touristy options in the area.

    We get our dog food from Calvin & Susie at Kilohana Square, and had always been curious about Sweet E's Cafe, so we decided to go there for brunch today. We arrived to a pretty busy restaurant. There were only a couple of empty tables. They do not appear to have a host/hostess. After waiting by the door awkwardly for a few minutes, one of the waiters (whose shirt was wet and stained in the front) noticed us and seated us. It was another ten minutes or so before we got a menu, and that was only because we flagged down a waitress who had been serving the table next to us (which was literally three feet away). The breakfast menu was pretty standard. Pancakes (plain, banana, blueberry), french toast, some benedicts. I honestly expected a more imaginative menu since most of the newer breakfast places around Oahu have special items. We ordered the kalua pig benedict and corned beef hash benedict because they were the only unusual items on the menu. The food took about 25 minutes to come out. My English muffin was hard and dry, and the corned beef had really big chunks of potato. The kalua pig benedict came on a poi muffin which was a nice touch, but honestly neither meat belongs in a benedict. The plates came with hash browns, which were fine. We ordered plantation iced teas, which turned out to be watery. The service was not very good. Everyone we dealt with was not friendly. No one was mean, but we did not feel welcome. The only good thing I have to say about this place is that the water guy kept our glasses full. (If you're ono for a benedict, try the lobster benedict at Longhi's. Much better service, an awesome view, and super delicious food.)

    The food was amazing. Who knew people made eggs benedict without ham? Fair price, nice setting... The only flaw is the wait time and parking. It's a /very/ small restaurant with maybe 20 or so tables so it's better not to go in a large group. And the parking is non-existent unless you're incredibly lucky. Not much street parking and it's so tight someone hit my ride's car. Nonetheless it's not the business fault for happening, but I'd suggest using the nearby empty lots to expand.

    I have been here 3 times, and all visits were enjoyable. I love the Kalua Pig Omlette, with fried rice option. The fried rice is just what I crave in the mornings - savory, salty and just a bit greasy. The omlette has pork, tomatoes, scallions, onions, and is very filling. I've also had the corned beef eggs benedict - the sauce is yummy, and they do the corned beef has RIGHT! Salty, crispy goodness. Coffee is nice and strong and all the servers are friendly and very pleasant. Dont care too much for sweet breakfasts, so have not tried much, but have ordered the cream cheese stuffed french toast before. Not my personal thing, but was delicious. Wait can be kind of long on Sunday mornings, and parking can get tight. I really like how the place is decorated but I always find it really hot in there - I sweat just sitting there. Not mindblowingly good and a touch expensive, but for those special mornings/brunches, this is my first choice location

    for one, this spot is on the way back down to waikiki after your sunrise hike to diamond head. two, this place is where locals eat. i think we were the only tourists there that morning. three, this spot is damn cute. i'll stop counting because there are plenty to rave about. the service was awesome. if you wanna see hot local servers, come here. i think i saw a hawaiian version of channing tatum here. the guys are super friendly and patient. we (the girls and i) were a hot mess after our DH hike. we were starving. to our pleasant surprise, our coffee, juice and breakfast came quickly. its your regular breakfast spot, nothing exotic, but its good. damn good. will come back for the food and for the eye candies.

    I'm not so sure that the deliciousness of the food is worth the wait here. I'd still rather go to Cafe Kaila. I got here at 10:30, and put my name down with 2 groups ahead of me. 2 groups that came after me was called in before me, then after we sat, it took another 5 minutes before we were given menus. We finally ordered from the ONE (yes, just one for the entire place) server they had there and it took an entire hour before we got our food. Between the 4 of us there, we got the Extreme Mess, Corn beef hash benedict, spinach feta omelet, and banana pancakes. All of them were amazing, except for the pancakes. The flavor was there, but the batter was still goopy inside. If it was cooked properly, it probably would've been amazing, though. The one server was very nice, though. I give it 2 stars because of the wait time and the undercooked pancakes. They need to hire more staff. It shouldn't take over 2 hours for breakfast.

    Had breakfast. The food is not super fancy, more on the simple side but attractively and deliciously prepared. Their use of not obvious spices, herbs, flavorings make simple dishes taste unique. It is pleasant space, especially as an away from the bustle of Waikiki. You don't feel ripped off or extravagant, but you have a great experience of eating. They DO have a parking lot, so don't drive around looking for parking. Its small, but adequate Good vibe there!.

    This morning I skimmed through the internet to find some other breakfast place other than our usual, Cafe kaila's. Thought we try out Sweet E's Cafe for a change since all I see are rave reviews. But I do see a similar plating to Kaila's but went on an open mind. I didnt mind the wait, which is also a good sign that this place may be a great restaurant. But I was a little irritated to other customers that waited inside the restaurant for a table and not considerate to other patrons and the servers as well. Outside was a nice hot day but not an excuse to wait inside. We got seated as water was waiting and our waiter asked for beverages. I ordered a papaya with lemon and corned beef hash eggs benedict with fried rice. The wife had the stuffed french toast. When our meals came 1/4 of the papaya was bruised, now why would you serve that to any customer? The hollandaise sauce was good and corned beef hash was great too but the main thing were the eggs which werent poached enough, just under cooked as the yoke ran and also with some egg white. Now if you cant cook poached eggs, dont serve it. Or maybe I had the only under cooked ones? It didnt stop there. The stuffed french toast were cold on the outside and just warm on the inside, plus the cream cheese wasnt warm at all. Fail, your going to rave about someones stuffed french toast and also the waiters will sell you it to say its there signature dish but cant be made to order. Auwe! To top this all off, I watched the 2 peole who were waiting and bussing. When they cleaned up on a table they used a spray bottle with cleaner to spray and wipe up the tables. Good but not good when you have a neighboring table with food or beverages sitting and catching over spray. Would you want that? That was my first and last time. Maybe they'll change for the better since its still a new place and can be improved, but for now there is nothing SWEET about Sweet E's.

    Sooo good. Follow the yelp reviews and try blueberry pancakes and blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast. The crab eggs Benedict was awesome! and had fresh pineapple iced tea. We ordered the pancakes and eggs Benedict and got one piece of the french toast as side. Soo delish! this place is a tiny and off the main drag, sorta in a hidden little strip mall. It was nice to be at a tasty local type of spot instead of all the touristy, high priced, mediocre places closer to beach. Thanks Sweet E's!

    The hawaiaan omelette was goooood. Also ordered waffles with fruit which made all the difference. Must order fried rice for $1.50 more. I'm not a huge breakfast fan, but I think this was the best breakfast place I've ever been too! Portions were good too! Everything that my friends ordered was fabulous too!!! I would definitely return!

    My fellow Yelpers, why have you deceived me? Actually, I can't blame my Yelp homies for their 4-5 Star reviews of Sweet E's, bc every experience is different, but in the case of my own personal encounter with the so called "Cafe Kaila's go to when you aren't feeling the long wait," I might just choose the wait over disappointment. Needless to say, my bf n I walked in to the small but quaintly decorated Sweet E's, which I must emphasize that if it weren't for the charming black and white portraits of local families and scenic backdrops of the beach, cute ceramic white pots holding friendly and realistic blue flowers, I wouldn't have a distraction from the long wait just for our drinks. Water was just a decoy to say "yes, we notice you, but we won't come back to your table for another 20 minutes." Why I decided to order a hot chocolate after the long wait for water, beats me... On to the meal: what a sad story for my taste buds. They were saying, " This is the meal you are starting your day off with?" Yes, and I'm sorry to everyone else's taste buds who have to endure cardboard in the shape of eggs and hash browns. Thank God the bacon was done extra crispy and salty and the fruit sweet and colorful minus a bruised strawberry; add some life into my lifeless meal. My bf ordered an omelet and the stuffed French toast. Omelet was good according to him, but as a self-proclaimed French Toast connoisseur, another sad story. Let the violins play because this French Toast was done wrong, as in it didn't get the love French Toast deserves. On top of that, it was "stuffed" with bananas. They forget to include the fine print that reads "stuffed with old, mushy bananas". Just cause the customer can't see what's behind the curtain doesn't mean the chef gets a free ticket to substitute quality, but that's exactly what it was; assuming customers are monkeys that'll love the stuffed toast that's filled with their favorite fruit whether mushy and old or firm and fresh. I had to keep myself from spitting out the mushiness and I didn't dare attempt to even stir around the untouched second piece of mushy stuffed toast to make it seem like we tried to eat it... It was that bad. I wish the best for any brave adventurers to Sweet E's, and a better breakfast experience for myself if I ever find a reason to give this place a second chance. The one server that was taking care of the entire full house, God bless you for your good attitude and attempt to good service, which for the most part was good, but good on a stretched out time span. Although the staff and decor is endearing, nothing sweet about the food.

    Great food options, mediocre coffee, and struggling service. Sweet-E deserves 5 stars because we need more places exactly like this. They are doing their best to put out great product at a competitive price. The food is really good, the things on the menu that say homemade actually taste that way. Try anything or everything, go back often, be courteous and enjoy your time there. There's not a lot of seating so get you lazy ass up earlier or wait. It's in a crappy location but it's worth searching out, or not. Hopefully they stick around and can get the kitchen a little more in sync with the flow of service.

  • Stephany O.

    I've only been here once so this ratings off of that experience....but.....BEST WAFFLES EVER!!!!!!!!!!!! I also had the corned beef hash....and sadly this is why they get four stars: it was burnt kinda badly.I thought about sending it back, but I had waited over 45 mins to get in and another 10 mins for the food and so I was starving (It was a really busy day and they had a party AND I had gotten there hungry) so I just tried to tough it out. Bad idea, it was burned so bad ketchup couldn't save it :( I know a lot of other people say the corned beef hash is great so I want to go back and give it another go...but the fact that they would serve it so burnt in the first place is upsetting to me. On the upside the service was great and considering that half the tables in there were seated at about the same time as us I felt that the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. I went with my sister and she enjoyed her breakfast (we each ordered our own plate and split the waffle) but then again she just had spam and eggs. I'll give the corned beef another go, but honestly i really wanna go back for the waffles ^-^

  • Matthew Q.

    Well we just got here and we have been waiting for about 30 minutes so far. This place must be pretty decent cause lots of people are waiting to get seated. From the pictures of fellow yelpers the egg Benedict's seem good and the waffles. Let's see how it is after we get seated. Hopefully the service and the good is as good as the yelp reviews are. Well they called 4 parties before our party of 3. What I don't understand is the parties before us had a party of 2 and parties of 4. Do they just wait till they have a exact table for 3? So we finally get seated and we are on a table for a party for 4?? WEIRD!! Or did they forget our party?? So I decided to get the bacon/Portuguese sausage/mushroom/cheese omelet. It was pretty good. But I always get simple dishes so you really can't screw up what I ordered. My friends got blueberry creme cheese studded French toast and Chicken pesto omelet. I tasted the French toast and it was EXCELLENT. If your a French toast fan this is worth the wait. I didn't get to taste the chicken pesto omelet but my friend said it was worth the wait also. My omelet was good but if I'm getting something simple like that I could go else where rather then waiting the almost 45 minutes wait. The service was good the guy kept checking if we needed water and other services. The presentation of my friends soup wasn't the greatest and sort of warm but the taste was good he said. Overall if your wanting something new to eat and you have the time you should try this place out.

    spinach feta omelette - garlicky goodness, balanced with the salt from feta and green not too overcooked spinach. just the right amount of sweetness lilikoi butter on my toast. french toast stuffed with fresh blueberries and creamcheese - didn't even need syrup. why wait at kaila when you can walk into sweet e's? about 10 bucks per plate - right price for the quality.

    OMG--obsessed with breakfast places and having discovered SWeet E's Cafe about a year ago It is our go to place. When we first started going, the only negative was it was hard to find (right behind Mr. Ojisan on upper Kapahulu) and parking was dicey. Parking has not improved much, but now there is a heinous security guard to put up with who is the standing Nazi--seriously he tells you you can can/cannot stand in the parking lot. Alright already, I get the other merchants don't want you blocking their doors, but OMG I'm standing in the gore point of a parking p,ace and he wants me to move . Food is always great , service quick and friendly, the place is bright and clean, but now the waits are sometimes long b/c lots more folks are discovering it and the noise level has def increased, Priced very fairly too!

    Found this place based on Yelp reviews, and it was well worth it! Managed to find a parking spot, and was able to get a table right away, but that appeared to be luck as the line quickly ran out the door and though out the strip mall. My wife took Yelpers' advice on the cream cheese stuffed blueberry pancakes, and she loved them (I snuck a bite or two as well.... awesome!). I had the chicken pesto omelette, which I thought would be a little odd, but to my surprise, the pesto in the omelette gave it an amazing taste! The staff was very friendly, which made for great breakfast experience.

    This is probably one of the best breakfast places in town. Went there for the first time today with my brother, niece and nephew. We got three dishes to share between us - waffles with fresh fruit , corn beef hash eggs benedict, and omelet. All three were delicious. The waffles were light and fluffy with a nice crunch to them. For an extra $1.95 you could get fresh fruit on top which was worth it. They topped waffles with a generous serving of bananas, strawberries and blueberries. The corn beef hash eggs benedict was awesome. They have homemade corn beef hash with good chunks of corn beef. They even had brown rice available too which is always a plus. The omelet was huge. We had bacon, ham, and mushrooms for the filling. They did not skimp out on the fillings. The bacon was still nice and crispy and the eggs fluffy. Excellent omelet Would definitely recommend coming here for breakfast but come early. By 8 am the place was full already.

  • Kevin F.

    Somehow I thought this was going to be another Southern Country place, maybe something like Kiss my Grits. And I also got this completely mixed up with Sweet Blossom. I agreed to meet my Uncle here for a lunch, but I ran late cause of my confusion. Anyhow, this is a nice breakfast place in town. Sweet E, along with Cafe Kaila, can be a 'sweet' alternative to driving out to Kailua and trying the famous group of breakfast spots they got out there. Sweet E is located in the same complex as Mr. Ojisan, and to get to it, you'll need to take this little side street from Kapahulu. Once you're inside, its a clean, homey place. The emphasis of Sweet E is comfort family food. The place is decorated like your house... lots of family pictures, flowers, comfortable seating, pictures with cute sayings such as "family is important". As a result, Sweet E's food doesn't try to be daring or different, it just tries to be what mother, father, or the grandparents makes. Burritos, omelettes, pancakes, french toast, and sandwiches for lunch. But for me, if I can get it, the one thing I'll always have for breakfast is corned beef hash. It comes as a benedict, which is a little more creamy and rich than I wanted. I've had the breakfast burrito another time, and it hits the spot for a hearty breakfast. Eggs, potatoes, cheese, and breakfast meat of your choice. The burrito is thick and well put together. If you're not picky about your burrito and just eating it for greasy goodness, then you can't go wrong ordering this. So yeah, if you're looking for the best breakfast spot, then maybe Sweet E is not your choice. However, if you're looking for the typical breakfast spot (hearty portions, eggs, fried rice, meat, pancakes, in a comfy atmosphere), AND IN TOWN, you can consider Sweet E.

    I have been here a couple of times and the food quality has varied... My first time here, I wanted to get what everyone was raving about, the corn beef eggs benedict and the blueberry stuffed french toast. The corn beef eggs benedict was pretty good, but my corn beef was very salty. The stuffed french toast was alright... My second time here, I ordered corn beef hash, two eggs, and rice, a side of herb potatoes and a side order of a buttermilk pancake. Yeah... My eyes sometimes get bigger than my stomach. But I must say my food was just not that great... My corn beef hash ( and let me tell you that I LOVE corn beef hash and have high standards) was mostly potatoes and hardly any meat. Plus it was still super duper salty. My rice was very dry too. Usually white rice is moist and sticky but this was very dry and crumbly and unpleasant to eat. My pancake was also dry. I was expecting this fluffy most delicious pancake, but it was rubbery and dry. Ugh... My her potatoes were really good and I ate that gladly... I would return here and try new things one day. But my last experience there has made me want to wait a while before I go back. :/

    First of all, the atmosphere of this place is just adorable. We felt like we were in the cutest little home designed around a beachy atmosphere. My husband ordered stuffed blueberry waffles based on the waiter's recommendation, and I ordered the lox bagel. I know he loved his waffles, but my mind literally checked out when my meal arrived. I enjoyed what was without a doubt the most delicious lox bagel I've ever had in my life. I was sad to leave and head to the airport for our island hop because this was such a wonderful little place! I hope to return one day! :)

    After reading a recent review and realizing I would be in the neighborhood, I convinced my wife we should get some breakfast at Sweet E's. She's not too big of a breakfast fan, but I'm a lover. We had our younger son with us to sample the goods. Wasn't too hard to find. I know where Kilohana square was, just haven't been there since taking my high school pictures. Ages ago. The parking sucks. If you have anything close to a full size car or truck, good luck. We got there about 8:30 and was able to pick one of the few spots that fit my truck. There was open table so we got seated instantly. Being the first time I had been here I was surprised to see such a crowd at someplace that seemed like a "hole in the wall". The waiter were really friendly. I only wish that they could have taken our beverage order either when we got seated or when they brought our waters. I like to get my coffee on ASAP. Even after I ordered it the waiter went on to take other orders before I actually got my coffee. Oh well. When we ordered I was worried a little as the place was filled and no one had their food yet. Not a good sign. I ordered the corned beef hash eggs benedict with hash browns. I saw it in some of the pictures on Yelp and had my heart set on it. Two eggs benedict with hollandaise sauce and home made corned beef hash, hash browns on the side. The eggs benedict were good. A little more lemony than I like. The homemade hash was better. Could tell some effort was put into it. The meat was real corned beef. The real treat was the hash browns. They were great. I know, it's only potatoes, but they were really good. They made them a little thin and fried them crispy. Great with either the hollandaise sauce or ketchup. My wife got the french toast. We saw another table's one come out earlier so were ready. They are huge. Not what we expected. She definetely would not be finishing them. My son got the buttermilk pancakes. I had a few of them. I love pancakes. I like when they are soaked with butter and are a gooey mess. These weren't soaked but they were still were pretty good. They were light and fluffy and a little chewy. At $6.75(I think) they were priced just right. We contemplated a side of fried rice at $2.75 but didn't go for it. We did see another table that got it and didn't think it would have been worth it. Our opinion. Overall I think Sweet E's was pretty good. I gave 3 starts because I don't think I really would come here again. Wasn't really a 4 star for me but if I could've gave it 3-1/2 I would have. Even thought the food was good I still take price and service into consideration. The food took a while to come out. At least 20 minutes from the point of ordering. And they are not too affordable. I wouldn't expect to pay much less for eggs benedict, but on a day to day I wouldn't expect most people to spend $8-$12 a head on breakfast. If you want to have a nice breakfast full with a lot of different options with some great homemade items then Sweet E's is a great treat. I'm sure you will be satisfied and pleased.

    A few friends and I stopped here for lunch one day and I'm so glad we did. We came to Hawaii for spring break and had already looked up restaurants to visit when we got there. Sweet E's was on the list! I ordered the pesto sandwich and oh my goodness was it amazing. It was the best pesto sandwich I've ever had. Their salad was phenomenal too because their dressing is homemade. I wish there was a Sweet E's in San Diego! I will forever dream about that sandwich and salad until I can get it again. If you couldn't tell from my review, I would definitely recommend this place! Oh, and there's no restroom inside the actually restaurant, you have to obtain the key and go outside since they share with the plaza I think.

    If you have the time and in mood for a good breakfast, try this cozy place. You need the time because the place could be packed in late morning. The stuffed French Toast with blue berries cream cheese with fresh fruit topping that I had was beyond good and almost great. The Egg Benedict with Kalua Pork was something different for me and it was good. This was the only place that we went twice in the same week for this trip.

    Got up early Sunday so decided to go to Sweet E's. Got there around 7:45 am and it was full already. Very short wait and they sat the 3 of us at a table for 2. No big deal. The food as always was delicious. We had Blueberry cream cheese French toast , extreme mess, and spinach/feta/tomato/mushroom omelette. As always the food did not disappoint. Highly recommend this place. Maybe Sweet E can look for a larger venue and one with more parking

    Tried Sweet E's Cafe when I was home the other week, and the food was awesome. My girlfriend and I had the corned beef hash benedict and the blueberry french toast. It was super 'ono. The corned beef hash is homemade (not the canned kind) and the sweet bread french toast is stuffed with a nice filling. We will definitely go back whenever we are back home. Also, the service was excellent.

    Awesome breakfast place. A quaint little family restaurant with fabulous service, decent prices, and most importantly great food. We got the banana stuffed French toast, egg mess, and Kona omelet. All were very good and satisfying. Also a must is the papaya orange guava juice, which is addicting! All in all an awesome place.

    Sweet E's cafe was a amazing find. The elegant waffle was delicious, the french toast was scrumptious, and the pancakes were very good. The service was amazing

    I love this place i literally love this place in an overall scheme of things i may even put it over cinnamons and maybe cafe kaila cuz kailas waits to get seated are horrendous. Been here a couple times with friends and a couple times to pick up food for my bro the owner Ethel is super friendly and the staff tries to be as attentive as possible not to mention the food is great. im a huge breakfast fiend well im just a food fiend in general my concept is if im paying for it i better enjoy it if not its like wasting your hard earned money. heres an overview of my visits there first one was with my gf and best friend a guy could have wade. it was a spur of the moment thing that i really wanted to do. luckily for me they had a special nutttela and banana filled french toast its like french toast on crack bazinga!!!! the french toast i suspected would be overtly sweet but no it wasnt flavors were balanced, the egg batter litely coated the sweet bread while the bananas and nuttela just meshed well together not to mentioni didnt even need syrup at all trust me no bother if you want to get its natual mesh of flavors. my gf had the kalua pig eggs benedict i think shes an addict to hollandaise sauce but im not sure if she will either deny or confirm it lol. she has gotten this both times when i was available to take her :) ive shared it with her and i also got an order of it to share with a friend on my second sit down visit. now to the second visit this time with a a group of 5 and no i dont remember what everyone had but i do remember what i had and shared with a friend cuz im one of those guys i tend to want meat with every meal sorry poor animals. me and my buddy rob decided to split an order of there blueberry cream cheese french toast which i lightly coated with maple syrup so good. same thing like the nuttela special i ordered previously just added the maple syrup cuz i wanted it with it i dont really think it necessarily needed it. the kalua pigs eggs benedict is really good not overtly salty, just right with a light based hollandise which doesnt stick to your gut and a perfectly toasted english muffin with a nice poached egg oh my. ill definetly make it a point to come here again also they give alot of free coffee refills and they do have the good stuff not that yuban or sanka crap u get at other places. to sweet es cafe we will meet again and i will enjoy you and also your beachy decor awesome

    Been here twice and both times the food was awesome. Gotta try the corn beef hash benedict or the blueberry cream cheese french toast. Only problem is parking and if its real busy (like always) then the food might take awhile to come out. Sucks if you're hungry but well worth the wait.

    Such a cute little spot! its so unassuming at first, but when you enter, thats when the magic begins! the decore is unbelievably adorable and gives you that relaxed cottage by the sea feel. The mix of colors are just awesome. The menu is perfect! not too many items and not too little. their local spin on the classics makes the eating experience adventurous without leaving your comfort zone (which i love!). I had the veggie eggs benedict with the herb potatoes and it was delicious! The holindaise sauce was the most light and flavorful one that ive had, and ive eaten a lot of eggs benedicts at different restaurants. Also, the herb potatoes were so flavorful and yummy, i finished every single one of them! My friend had a local breakfast with kalua pork and he was beyond satisfied with his meal also. Portions are on point-we were able to finish it all without feeling handicapped, but definitely satisfied. Lastly, the prices are awesome for the quality of food being served. I definitely recommed this place to anyone-cant wait to go back!

    This is the perfect hole in the wall cafe!!! I had the turkey pesto sandwich and it was to die for! I also tried my friend's philly cheesesteak sandwich--also to die for! Our waitress, Maya, was excellent and very friendly! The ambiance of the restaurant is really cute too! Love it!

    this is what i would call a boutique breakfast/brunch spot. the interior is deceptively small but charming and very stylish. we tried the banana stuffed french toast (which was just mushed up bananas in between slices of french toast, next time i think i'd just go plain) and the corned beef eggs benedict with hash browns. although good nothing was truly outstanding and it was a bit pricey for breakfast. the service was great and the food came out quickly (of course we went early morning so there were less people). the bf still likes pancake house the best.

    I heart you Sweet E's! Your decor, your service, your parking, your FOOD!!! Oh the food! Mwah!!! Every breakfast or lunch I have ever eaten here has been perfection and hit the spot. I don't even have a fave and I think I have ordered almost the entire left side of the menu so far. (Not in one sitting, of course...) Keep it comin' Sweet E's and I will a keep comin' in too!

    Yo man, I wanted to play spoiler and ruin this spot's perfect 5-star rating, but the food was, as the locals say, "winnahs!" Tried a chicken pesto omelette and the home made corned beef hash eggs benedict. The three egg omelette was stuffed and looked like the cook gave it CPR. It's always disappointing when you order an omelette, and then when the server drops it in front of you it's flatter than an anorexic asian chick. It did not have an overpowering taste of pesto, thanks to a generous amount of mozarella cheese. Spinach and tomatoes were mixed in perfectly and did not water it down at all. Man I hate it when I crack open a nice omelette and water from all the veggies spill out. The chicken pieces were moist and tender. Everything seemed fresh yo. Hash browns were nicely browned and crispy, no signs of cooking grease, although sometimes it does taste good inhaling the greasy artery clogging goodness. But hey, today was a healthy day. Man them home made corned beef hash hit the spot. Eggs benedict also cooked perfectly. Not over-cooked and not runny at all. I wanted to try some stuffed french toast and other tasty looking menu items, but I figured to save it for next time. As for the ambiance, I love my chocolate beats down at da club, but this cafe keeps it chill with some Jack Johnson for a nice relaxing meal. The waiter was friendly and attentive. Did not have to ask to get water or coffee refilled. I'll be back yo!

    Yay! A neighborhood spot for breakfast.... Without a wait!!!! Not sure how long that will last since the food and service is top notch. I had the homemade corned beef hash with poached eggs. A+++. They also have sweet bread French toast that my husband ordered and loved so much, he ordered a second helping. The lunch fare has a variety of salads and sandwiches that looked so good I'll be coming back next week to try.

    A friend recommended us, and told us exactly how to get there- otherwise it's kind of tucked away. it's in the back side of Kilohana square. We shared the blueberry-cream-cheese-stuffed sweet bread french toast, and the spinach feta mushroom omelet. The omelet comes with toast, plus choice of rice/ roast potatoes/ hash brown / fried rice for extra. Plenty of food - I had to take a nap afterwards- and super ono. The french toast was perfect! crispy edges, no soggy centre, with this amazing cheesecake-like filling. and the spinach filling of the omelet was fresh and not overcooked - spinach, mushrooms, feta, tomato, so much goodness. a homestyle, cute and sunny spot, with friendly staff. it was around $20 + tip for two of us - worth it!

    Sweet E's Cafe is a hidden gem. It's tucked away in Kilohana Square, so it may be a challenge to find if you're unfamiliar with the area. The best part is that there are -usually- no lines nor massive wait times, yet the food is excellent! Coupled with the decent prices, it's probably a matter of time before they blow up in popularity though. For me, the most important thing to note is the Stuffed French Toast, filled with Blueberry and Cream Cheese. It is ridiculously good. I don't even know what else to say about it. I've ordered it literally every single time I've been here; even if just to take it home. It's that good. Also notable are the omelettes, which are technically very well-made and also look beautiful. I marvel at how the omelettes look so uniform yet yolky within the walls, while the edges are flaky and naturally-shaped. I wish I could make omelettes like this. Try any of them; you won't be disappointed. The Corned Beef Eggs Benedict deserves mention for being legit. Not only is it delicious, but authentic corned beef and is very savory in every right. On one lucky visit, we were rewarded with complimentary house papaya juice! Maybe you will be just as fortunate on your next visit. Fun Fact: All of the menu subheaders are all alliterated with E's.

    Boy am I glad to have discovered Sweet E's Cafe this morning. By the end of our breakfast, my boyfriend told the server, "This might be the best breakfast place I ever been to." I've never heard him say that to a server before! Together, we had the Chicken Pesto Omelette, Turkey Croissant Sandwich, and a Fruit Bowl (see photos). All the entrees were excellent and the portions were very generous. We knew we'd be back as soon as we started seeing orders come out for other guests and saw how big the portions were. Honestly, I was expecting my fruit bowl to be a miso-soup sized bowl with a few pieces of sliced fruit, but what I got was a whole plate filled with a variety of fresh fruit: strawberries, blackberries, honeydew, pineapple, orange, and papaya! My goodness--all that fruit for only $5.95. Now here's the highlight of my entire breakfast experience: Halfway through our meals, the server brought out 2 full glasses of complimentary fruit drinks for me and my boyfriend--yes, COMPLIMENTARY drinks. Perhaps the drinks were "experimental" and the chef wanted to test it out on customers, and we were the lucky ones! The drinks had the consistency of a smoothie, and it tasted like a concoction of papaya, mango, iced tea, and some kind of berry. I personally loved it and enjoyed the entire glass; my boyfriend not so much. Either way, we really appreciated the service, interior decor, and of course the food! I can't wait to go back and also try their lunch menu. From what I understand, this cafe is a brand new business, and if they keep up what they're doing now I can see this place exploding with business and happy stomachs for years to come. Highly recommend!

    Best breakfast on island! The hype is real at Sweet E's! The stuffed French toast is incredibly delicious as well as the "hot mess" which is about 7 ingredients all scrambled together on a large plate. Like everything on island, expect a solid 20-30 minutes wait if you don't get there early.

  • Lyric S.

    Had breakfast earlier today. We ordered their corn beef Benedict and corn beef hash and eggs and of course their stuffed blueberry French toast. Service was awesome like always!!! But this time their cb Benedict was a little salty. But I would definately go back.

    Found this place using a Yelp search and once again, Yelp doesn't disappoint. We stopped here on our way to Kailua on a Saturday morning. Had a little trouble finding the place, but got here nonetheless and the attendant pointed us to the parking lot. There was a short wait (maybe 10 minutes), but when we left there was a line starting to form. It is a very small place with an even smaller kitchen. They make every table to order, so if they seat a couple tables at once you might have a longer than normal wait. This happened to us, but the waiter was attentive in the meantime and let us know, so that was great and not a problem as we weren't in a hurry. I ordered the omelet and my dad had the kalua pork eggs benedict and we shared. Holy eggs benny! They were amazing. The omelet was very good, but not on the same playing field as the eggs benedict. My sister went with the french toast and she thought it was wonderful. Definitely worth the wait.

    GREAT brunch place!! - Limited seating but not crowded on weekdays - Recommendations: [1] blueberry stuffed french toast & [2] corned beef hash benny...SO DELICIOUS I WANT THEM RIGHT NOW!!! - Affordable prices (~$10-12) - Super clean & cute atmosphere - Service was okay Only downside...no bathroom. Gotta use the communal bathroom outside which was disgusting...they really need a bathroom inside but this situation is a turnoff. I would recommend this place to anyone!! Love love love the food!

    Small, clean, breakfast joint. A lot of hype about this place, which I don't think it completely deserves, but it is a great place to eat. Menu has a great selection, but I felt like the wait staff didn't really have it together. Nothing bad, but nothing great... If you're in the area definitely stop by!!

  • KY Y.

    Great food in a smaller local kind of place. Parking was easy and we only had a 10 minute wait at 8:45 on a Saturday morning. The blueberry/cream cheese stuffed french toast is great and the corned beef hash benedict is delicious. Highly recommended! Staff was great and very attentive. They even offered us more coffee to go.

  • Will B.

    I'm glad I went back a second time! This time I had the blueberry pancakes, and they were delicious. The blueberries were probably frozen on the way to the kitchen, but the chefs did a good job resurrecting them, and put a lot of them in the batter. There was something else in the mix too -- orange zest, perhaps? -- that added an intriguing zing. This is a dish I would order again, for sure. They could improve the decaf a bit -- it was very average.

  • Jarrett W.

    Everytime I come here there is an approx. wait time of 15-20mins. Atmosphere is homesome with pictures on the wall and cute decor. There are approximately 10-15 tables... I had the Hawaiian Omelette this time... my opinion is "okay". I think the kalua omelette is better. Blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast is a must try.

  • Kaitlyn F.

    This place is SUPER cute and what's good about it is that it's located in a place that's hard to find...good for crowd control! While there, I tried the blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast and the fruit platter. Now, I don't usually eat fruit platters at restaurants because it usually is a huge rip off, however, Sweet E's has a wonderful value on their fruit platter! Plus, their fruit platter was sweet and fresh. Just as everyone said, the french toast was mind blowing. Not sure if it's the BEST I have ever had, but it was definitely notable. Just the right amount of sweetness, loaded with fresh blueberries! The reason that I hold back from giving 5 stars is the service. When we went, there were only one or two servers going around this crowded little restaurant, that we were barely acknowledged. I felt like a bother trying to hail them down.

  • Dave T.

    To be honest, I am a food adventurer and seek thrilling creative dishes; however, Sweet E's most creative dishes are Kalua omelette and Kalua egg Benedict--which are not that creative. I would have given this restaurant 3 stars because the menu is too plain for me, but to be fair, the food is VERY fresh, clean, and neatly presented. The decor is very nice and provides a very warm, family friendly evenrionemnt. The workers are attentive and do their best to make sure everything is okay. As a whole experience, I think it is worth 4 stars, but I will not go back due to the plain menu.

    SUCH A CUTE LITTLE BRUNCH PLACE! I loveddd the kalua pork eggs benedict! It had to be one of my favorite meals during my vacation in HI. Perfectly poached egg w/ the inside completely runny, on top of some amazing kalua pork slathered with hollandaise sauce! You really have nothing to complain about! I could eat this everyday! The service was definitely very welcoming and friendly. PS. The blueberry cream cheese french toast are a must try too!

    Finally made it here on Sunday morning and it was packed by 7:30 am. Awesome little cafe with limited seating serving up delicious breakfast. My wife, daughter, and I ordered the Corned beef eggs benedict, the Extreme mess, and the Blueberry and cream cheese stuffed French toast. I have to say it is the best breakfast places I have gone to in town. The best was the Corned beef eggs benedict. Great flavors working together and definately homemade. A little bit of garlic taste which I love. Ask for the corned beef to be "crispy." Quality and quanity was there. The extreme mess was also great. Hashbrowns, bacon, onion, green peppers, green onion, and portuguese sausage all mixed with 3 scrambled eggs. Love it with their sour dough toast. It was very good but still, my fav was the eggs benedict. If you hungry, this will satisfy. The blueberry and cream cheese stuffed French toast was WINNAHS!! Not too sweet, not to sour, but just right! A must try.

  • Heidi P.

    I loved my first visit to this place. The location at Kilohana Square is easy to get to, but the parking is tight and slim pickins. The decor had a very simple, clean, seaside cottage feel and while the space is small they did really well in making it feel bigger (the big mirror in the back of the room really helps)! The wait staff were friendly and knowledgable. Even though it is first come first serve, I did not feel rushed or that I needed to leave, even after I finished my meal. They try to make you feel at home and taken care of. I went there with a few friends and had the Waffles which were very light. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I had mine with fresh fruit and truly enjoyed every bite. My friends had the Extreme Mess and Omelet - which was pretty darn good! The omelet looked very fluffy and there was no skimping on ingredients! I can't wait to go back and try the French Toast, although it looks like one plate could feed two! I would definitely recommend this place to all of my friends and family!

    Let's be honest here, it's a not that challenging to make a good breakfast. Even the worst places can mess up breakfast and it won't be as bad as a poorly made dish of pasta... My girlfriends and I started our mid-day off with brunch here last weekend. I was surprised at how small the place was but it was so cute and homey. The decor is very shabby chic and be achy, I really, really love it! My girlfriends ordered breakfast, one ordered eggs benedict which looked amaze-balls (and I am not a benedict advocate), another ordered the standard breakfast place (sorry - I forgot their name of it) which comes with your choice of meats, starch and eggs. I ordered the Lox and Bagels, my bagel could have been toasted a little more. If I had just a taste of my plate, I don't think I would go back, since it was just mediocre - aka: easily forgotten. But I am willing to go back and try some other menu items like their Waffles and Pancakes. Also, some of their lunch plates also sounded yummy. The prices are reasonable and it's nice to have another cute place to go to for breakfast/brunch/lunch! Cafe Kaila's overflow may just be going down the street for some Sweet E's.

  • Sabrina B.

    This is strictly my opinion but it was..um...it was ok. I'm not saying it was awful but it wasn't the best I've ever had. I ordered the traditional eggs benedict and our table shared the blueberry stuffed french toast. I found the hollandaise sauce to have a super egg yokey taste but I do like that I could have poached egg whites instead. And yes...I know there are egg yolks in hollandaise sauce. Oh did I mention I loathe egg yolks? The potatoes were just ok. I felt like it needed onions or another layer of flavor. The stuffed french toast was also just ok. Highly overrated in my opinion. Could I make it myself at home? Possibly. Would I go back? Maybe if I were in the area and looking for a nice breakfast spot. I'm a Kailua girl so the bar has been set pretty high with Cinnamon's. Staff was nice and attentive. Service was quick and efficient. We came at 9:30am on a Thursday and waited maybe 15 minutes for a table for 5. Like I said...everything was just ok..not terrible and not food orgasmic...just ok.

    Came here for a late brunch/early lunch. Whatever you want to call it. I've been wanting to check this place out for a while now, so I was quite giddy about it. However, I have heard that takeout from here is not good at all....so just a warning. But I thought I'd go check it out to see if they could rival Kaila or not. Located in Kilohana Square....there was lots of parking but I'm assuming that's only because many of the small shops/businesses were closed, as it was a Sunday. We had to wait kind of long though...no reservations...there was a few small parties (of 2 mostly) ahead of us, about 4 or 5 names in. We must have waited a good 30-35 min though...killed time wandering around in the feng shui store. When our table was finally ready, I got to take a better look at the place---and it was a lot smaller than I thought (don't let the mirror fool you....I thought it was an additional room, but it wasn't...)...so I guess the wait time is just going to be a given there. The decor is very quaint and cute though...reminds me of being in an airy beach house or something. Service was good and they were all very nice! Food came out pretty quick too. We got: -Blueberry stuffed french toast....3 HUGE pieces (actually 6 slabs since they sandwich them together)....tons of blueberries and sweet cream cheese filling....no need for syrup! We couldn't finish....took home the last slab. I want to try the banana one next time. -Corned beef hash benedict....super GOOD! Their hollandaise is THICK (which I like), but I know others who prefer the more fluffy and light kind. The corned beef was delish & the eggs were perfectly poached. I need to get myself my own egg-poaching device. Because I am currently in a poached-egg phase and am borderline obsessed with them (and arugula). Anyway, you can choose your side....we got hashbrowns. Those had absolutely no taste but with salt/pepper and a ton of ketchup they were ok. -Oh and we shared a small side order of fried rice (you get one scoop) with an egg on top. The rice was alright. Nothing special though. I just had a very slight fried rice craving that needed to be attended to. Overall, very cute place. Will be back for sure to try more of their menu offerings!

    There are two kinds of people in the world. Folks who go to Sweet E's and folks who go to Cafe Kaila. Let's take a closer look, shall we? Cafe Kaila's got the established rep and years of press coverage. Loyal customers and tourist-famous french toast, waffles and pancakes. Sweet E's is still relatively new--not even a year old, and they already have Japanese couples pulling out magazines and wordlessly pointing at the picture of the pancakes they want. Happened right next to my table, I swear. I obeyed the hype and got the kalua pork eggs benedict ($12.95), which was rather small for my now-American-sized-stomach. Tasted yums though. Rich, hollandaise sauce soaking up smokey meat, perfectly poached egg running into hash browns. I also got the stuffed French toast ($8.95), which was nothing more than filling. Just a dash of cream cheese and blueberries stuffed in between two pieces of fluffy French toast. Bread-to-filling ratio was just too unbalanced, and I felt like I was just eating egg-dipped baked dough. It was a three-star review, an A-OK place. I guess I'm a Cafe Kaila girl, my heart still belongs to their Belgium waffles.

    I thought I found my favorite breakfast spot UNTIL I came here. This place has blown all other breakfast spots out of the water. I didn't even KNOW the standard for breakfast could be raised higher until eating here. It was so good, and by unanimous decision, it has now been crowned favorite bfast by my hubby and I. We fight a lot but this was a quick agreement, no questions asked. Sorta hard to find, tiny little spot. No wonder I've never seen it before. Thanks to yelp for shining light on this breakfast gem. We always get two things and split it. Order #1 - blueberry cream cheese stuffed French toast Read a review about the blueberry cream cheese stuffed French toast. First of all I don't ever order French toast. Second of all, I never order blueberry anything. Just a little disclaimer before I continue. That being said, it was out if this world. So so so good. Not too cream cheesey, not too sweet, not too tart. Literally perfect. Heaven stuffed French toast. So phenomenal. This dish is a must order every time. Order #2 - kalua pig Benedict with fried rice Okay. No matter what you order, make sure it includes fried rice. It's worth the up charge. Seriously THE best fried rice I have ever had. I am very picky. Usually I find fried rice to be a little above average but this was the best part of this dish. Not to knock the kalua pig Benedict. It was very good but it was not stupendous. I would try a different dish next time (obvi with fried rice) Thank you for your existence, sweet e's.

    Blueberry stuffed cream cheese french toast--is a must!! We also had an omelette (Portuguese sausage, spam, cheese, ham) and was fluffy and full of flavor. The potatoes look like regular fried red potatoes until you taste them, so glad we good others' advise! The food presentation was great, we will return!

    I have had the privilege of eating breakfast and brunch at Sweet E's many times over the past two years since I have lived here. At times I would go to Sweet E's every weekend because the food is truly that good. Service is great and it just feels like home when you go to eat there. Unfortunately, today I didn't even get to the restaurant because the parking attendants outside were so incredibly rude and unhelpful. I do understand that the parking attendants do not work for the restaurant, but they certainly are part of the restaurant experience. It made me feel very unwelcome and I decided to simply leave. I will go back again at some point, but I hope that Sweet E's will do something about the parking attendants.

    Amazing, Delicious? Not sure really which word to choose from? Found this place on Yelp and I'm glad we decided to try it out! We had the All American omelette and boy was it the best one I have ever tasted! For the price of this omelette I wouldn't mind eating here for breakfast everyday! Makes me want to keep this place a secret from everyone else, my little hidden gem lol. If you manage to come here and finish all your food cheers to you! You won't regret trying this place out!

  • Connie W.

    Sweet E's has been our go-to breakfast spot for a long time. Key reasons why we keep coming back: consistently good food and great service. There can defintely be a long wait if you arrive at peak breakfast or lunch times, so we try to squeeze in during the lulls. Not that great for huge groups (6+ people). Our usual order is the chicken pesto omelet, breakfast burrito, and side of stuffed French toast. Spring the extra $1.50 for the side of fried rice too; you wont regret it. Again, the food is consistenly delicious and fresh. To me, the friendly service is what sets this place apart from others. It is far and away a better experience than at Cafe Kalia, where we got told off for bringing our own water (seriously). There's always great jams playing too; I never realized what a pleasant difference that makes. To that end, the music and chatter can get quite loud, but it's nothing unbearable. Five stars all the way!

    I'm on a mission to eat at all the breakfast joints on the island. I've heard nothing but positive things about Sweet E's so I've had it bookmarked for quite some time now. The address has it located off of Kapahulu but you actually have to turn into the dead end street off Kapahulu for the parking lot. The decor reminded me of a cottage near the ocean. It was really adorable and it just felt really homey and relaxing. The more busy breakfast joints can feel really hectic like you're being rushed to finish your food but you don't get that vibe here at all, which I love. Eggs benedict: 3.5 stars. It was good but I felt that it lacked volume and I was still hungry after I finished my food. I really loved the hollandaise but it does have a little bit of a spicy kick to it (not super spicy but there is a little bite to it). Extreme mess: 5 stars. It's basically scrambled eggs with a tonnnnn of stuff in it. Kind of like a deconstructed omelette? TOPPED WITH TONS OF CHEDDAR CHEESE. I DIED. It was sooooo good. It seems pretty simple, like all other breakfast foods are but honestly, it was the best part of the meal. How can you not love cheesy eggs with a ton of stuff in it? Blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast: 4 stars. I really liked this because I was still a little hungry after my benedict. It balanced the meal perfectly since I usually go to war with myself trying to figure out if I want something sweet or savory. You must know what I mean right? Pancakes or omelette? BOTH DUH. My boyfriend said the cream cheese was a little too much (he's not really a sweets fan) but he did say that it was good. If he was 8 years old he probably would have mopped the whole thing down without hesitation and asked for more. It's definitely a must try since you can't find it anywhere else. Service is top notch. The servers we had were so attentive and awesome. I lifted my fork at the same time he was refilling my water and I sort of bumped him with it. He immediately offered to get me a new fork since it had touched his hand. I was done eating so I said it was alright but the gesture was very thoughtful. They were eating their lunch while we were finishing up (it was almost closing time) but they still took a break from eating to give us our check and finish our table. I felt bad but really appreciated the attentive service.

    The dozens of pictures of the blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast do not do it justice. This is the best thing I've eaten for breakfast. Ever-ish. Yes, I've tried the Boots and Kimo Pancakes with their melted ice cream topping. (small kine cheat using ice cream!) And I've tried Hoku's brunch buffet. All you can eat lobster tails and king crab. But it's not true breakfast...its brunch. So small kine cheat again. For pure breakfast, this french toast is fa-reeking ono-licous. I was so happy when I tried to give my daughter a bite of the french toast and she said, "No!" and I was like, suit yourself! I know. Mean Dad. But Mean Dad with the french toast all to himself!!!! Get it with extra fruit on top. It's so worth the extra few bucks or so. It came loaded with blueberries, strawberries and bananas. Drizzled with syrup, just the fruit would've been good. But, then its three fat pieces of french toast. You cut into it with your knife and that's where the sweet spot is. literally. The blueberry cream cheese stuffing oozes out of the bread, with whole blueberries included in the mix. And yes it is sweet, but not too sweet. It's just right sweet. In combination with the fruit and the bread and the cream cheese filling and the syrup drizzled over, that is perfection. I can't believe it took me this long to discover it. I guess Im usually a rice, two egg over easy, and hash savory kinda guy. For this I'll make the exception. Most definitely. The coffee here is also very good. It reminds me of the Sam Choys BLC coffee, which I loved. I think it has something to do with the thick lip of the mug. Great service, and if you go early enough there's no wait. By the time we left, there were about 20-30 people waiting in the parking lot. I'd wait too.

    Was looking for a place to have breakfast with an old friend. Sweet E's was suggested. I had heard about it so was excited to check it out. We went on a weekday and it was still fairly busy. I was surprised considering that it was around 8:30 and was thinking, "Does anyone work in this town?" Haha! We put our names in and although it was crowded, we ended up getting seated in about 15 minutes, not bad! Our waiter was this cool, local braddah, who took our order, without a notepad. Just memorized it, repeated it and then placed it. He was attentive, refilling our water and coffee. The place was set up like a long rectangle, with a bunch of seats in fairly close proximity. Yet, it didn't matter. You could still enjoy your own private conversations without it feeling invasive. I ordered an egg white omelette with spinach, mozzarella cheese and mushrooms. It was HUGE! It was paired with a side order of white rice and wheat toast. I was totally full. I almost (I said almost!), didn't finish it. But I did! And it kept me full throughout the entire day so I didn't eat lunch. Love a breakfast like that!

    Corned beef hash and eggs. Holy shit, that was delicious - and I shared a piece of stuffed french toast - also delicious. The wait: Yes, get there early. I can't recall what happened in the morning that made it a later stop for us, but it was well worth it. The guys working did a great job - they were fast, friendly and attentive. Despite the busy atmosphere - they were impecable about conversation and zooming through the place.

    It's a Sunday morning and we wanted to beat the rush! Got there 10 minutes before they open. It's in a little shopping center with a couple interesting shops. I LOVE how they have so much parking available. My boyfriend took his time parking and finding the right spot. Btw there were no cars in the lot when we got there. I noticed that most of the customers walked over to sweet e. When we got in it was nice and comfortable, there was good music playing which my boyfriend liked a lot. I got the original eggs Benedict & fried rice, with a side of bacon of course. I loved my Benedict but my fried rice was okay. My bacon was the bomb, crispy and yummy. My date got the Kalua pork eggs Benedict & hash browns with a side of spam. He said it was really good and he loved his hash browns because of how crispy it was. We also got the stuffed blueberry cream cheese French toast, and it was delicious!! I would love to come back here again. The staff is wonderful and local.

    My daughter and I had breakfast here on a Saturday morning. We'd heard how crowded it gets so got there early -- about 7:30am. There was parking available in a separate lot just past Kilohana Square. Because it was early, there was no wait to be seated. Service was pleasant and prompt. I ordered the corned beef hash eggs Benedict and my daughter had the blueberry stuffed French toast. Both were very delicious! By the time we left, there were about 15 people waiting to be seated. Tip: Go early or prepare to wait! It's worth the wait though. Yum!

    Ordered kalua pork eggs benedict with fried rice. 1 of the eggs and the fried rice was great, but the other egg didn't have a yolk! and when cut into, release a nice flood of water and under-done egg white into the pork and muffin. I let them know but only got another egg minus the pork and muffin as a replacement. So, ate the egg and rice but missed having the rest...

    I have been hearing about this place for a while and am so happy I got to finally enjoy this ono-liscious food! Lucky for me, I got to eat here two times in three days! First visit I ordered an omelette and it was just the right amount of flavor variety between the eggs, veggies, garlic and cheese. Plus the ketchup I added on top. Second visit I had the blueberry and cream cheese stuffed French toast and that was a taste sensation! Totally worth the wait for a table! Very friendly staff!! I will be back!!!!

    A long wait so arrive with time to wait. No good places to really wait, just stand all over the parking lot. We went for a late breakfast on our way out to the Lighthouse trail. Great egg and French Toast dishes. We tried one of each and both were very good: A fruit French toast and an egg benedict.

    My high school friend met up with me before work during our visit. Couldn't believe I missed this cafe, literally a hole in the wall, as it is in the corner of this postage stamp plaza. For the amount of food they offer and catering to both tourists and locals, the prices are completely fair and worth the wait (if you do). Friendly (and cute) staff that allowed us to wait for my friend to arrive. And quick-quick service. I ordered their kalua pork eggs benedict. Talk about about the best local infused american style breakfast that was heartbreaking when I reached the last bite. I didn't hold back, I gobbled up that entire plate and it was just just all too good and I wish I had room for seconds. So glad my friend wanted to meet up at this cafe, I know have a go-to the next time I'm back visiting. More like - must have.

    This is my favorite breakfast place on the island so far. The wait does tend to get long so try to get there earlier in the morning. Everything I've tried so far has been delicious. Also...free iced coffee refills and you can take your leftover coffee to go for free. Can't get better than that.

    My husband and I always come here for breakfast whenever we're in the area. The blueberry cream cheese stuffed French toast is to die for!! I also highly recommend their eggs Benedict for egg lovers! Cute small place for breakfast/ brunch/ lunch. Expect a wait, this place gets very busy especially on weekends!

    Serious wait times... We were vacationing and found this place on yelp, and pretty happy we did. This place has some really nice obvious breakfast selections and a few twists too. Everyone in my family was pretty satisfied with their meal and the service. Not a ton of space, and usually why the wait time is so extensive, but if pressed I would say it was worth it. Fresh ingredients, friendly staff and a great selection.

    This hole in the wall is one of my favorite places in Oahu. I came here with a bunch of friends we all got something different. So I got to try a majority of the menu. Everything is good! Don't forget to check out their daily special. Follow them on Instagram! They post specials on there and pictures of an empty restaurant once in a blue moon. This place is super small so the wait can get really long. Regardless, it's worth the wait. Service is so wonderful. These guys that run this place are obviously passionate about what they do. Even tho it was a cab ride to and from the place, it was worth the several times we went.

    Inside restaurant is small. Parking lot is small. BUT...FOOD WAS GREAT! Ordered Kalua pork omelette with herb potatoes, my other half got the American omelette with white rice and an order of their stuffed blueberry and cream cheese French toast. We enjoyed every order. Yay to their herb potatoes! And stuffed French toast is a must!

  • Chelsey N.

    I love this place! The corned beef hash eggs Benedict and blueberry stuffed French toast is where it's at. That wins my five stars alone. The parking is the one downside. But usually I come early to avoid the rush. The workers are friendly and efficient. Maybe after I get over my obsession with those two dishes I can try something else.

  • Kelsea S.

    this place is really good! it's a smaller place and we got there early on a Sunday morning so it made things smoother for my boyfriend and I. we both ate the corned beef hash eggs benedict with hash brown and shared a side order of banana pancake. yes, the corned beef hash is home made! I typically order eggs benedict dishes at breakfast venues and this one definitely did not disappoint. really great food with a decent price. not to mention, all the guys working were friendly and professional. tips: the earlier you get there, the better. when we were done, the place was filled! also, consider portion sizes. these guys are no joke, so if you're not ready for a feast, plan on sharing.

    We waited about an hour for this beautiful fusion of breakfast eats. He ordered the Kalua omelet & I the French toast stuffed with cream cheese & blueberries. The combo of savory & sweet was a luau in my mouth. The Kalua omelet- a perfect blend of piggies & poultry. Fluffy eggs encompassing the mixture. In unison, the French toast made with Hawaiian bread - stuffed with a heavenly mixture of cream cheese and fresh blueberries. Sinfully delicious.

    I am very impressed by this place. We went early around 8am, so there was no line. We had the stuffed french toast and hot mess. The stuffed french toast is the best I ever had and I have traveled all over the world eating this. Normally something is wrong with stuffed french toast. Either the bread is not cooked right, there is too much filling, the filling doesn't taste good, or it's soggy. Well this one had a nice ratio of blueberries to cream cheese. The bread was cooked well with a little crispiness to it. The favor was magnificent. It wasn't overly sweet. The "Hot Mess" is a giant plate where they cook bacon, cheese, vegetables, and hash browns inside a bunch of eggs. It's basically an open faced giant omelette. It was as good as a egg dish can get. And it was cheap. The Plantation Iced Tea was very refreshing. The pineapple was fresh and balanced nicely with the team. It had subtle flavors and did not overwhelm the meal. The service was immaculate. The waiters checked on us often to make sure we had a great dining experience. In my opinion, this is the best breakfast on Oahu.

    I came for the stuffed French toast, but learned it wasn't that easy. The Parking lot is small with limited stalls. We wrote down our name (party of 2) on the list. There were two other parties of 2 before our name on the list. The wait time was ok.... Until we saw that a couple who arrived after us was seated. We went inside to check the list and saw that our name was crossed off, but our name wasn't called. We told the the worker and he said he'd seat us at the next available table. My boyfriend was very peeved and wanted to just leave but knew I wanted to try the stuffed French toast. A couple minutes later we were seated at a table of four. The waiter didn't really talk much. He just took our order. The wait for our food wasn't that bad. When I got the French toast, I have to admit it was absolutely amazing! It was soooo good! My boyfriend wasn't a fan of his order mainly because he didn't like the way the bacon was cooked. I ordered a hot coffee, but never got it and we were still charged for it! We told our waiter and he apologized. He offered to give me a cup of coffee to go (no charge) but I said it was ok. He came back with an adjusted receipt and saw that they deducted our total by about half. I'll commend them on that. They could have just deducted the coffee, but it was a very nice gesture to make up for it. I'm assuming the service we had was just like a hit or miss thing. I'm sure the service for everyone else is great. I totally wish that didn't happen. I loved the stuffed French toast, but I don't think I'm ever coming back to this place. Don't let me stir you away. At least try the French toast once and then judge for yourself on the service.

    Came here around 10am on a Friday waiting to grab a quick breakfast before snorkeling. Wait was 20 mins, place is tiny. Food was alright. We got the omelete and the eggs Benedict. Omelete was soft and fluffy and eggs were cooked perfectly on the benedict. Being from Portland, OR the brunch capital the food here is okay. Service was great the servers were very friendly and attentive.

    I'm a big (think girth) breakfast fan, so after swinging by Cafe Kaila at 815am on a weekday only to find that there's already 20 people standing in line for a table, why would we not just head about a block away and grab some bfast at Sweet E's? Well, that's exactly what we did. I've only been here a couple of times now so there are still many dishes I have to try, but the ones I did have were really tasty. So far, I've had the Chicken Pesto Omelet, the Kalua Pig Benedict, Waffles, and the Banana Pancakes; they were all very good. I especially liked the Kalua benedict, the pork had a nice smokey flavor and the fried rice was spot on. Keep in mind this place gets crowded, too so you may have to wait a bit. Both times we were there, it was pretty full which made the restaurant pretty noisy. The voices just seem to echo in there so it was hard to hear what my friend was saying at times. I'm definitely looking forward to the next visit. Everyone talks about the Stuffed French Toast so that will for sure be on the agenda. It looks super decadent so is it worth the girth? I think yes.

    Me and my girlfriend haven't seen each other in forever so we planned a "girls day" & made it a pretty ADVENTUROUS day. First stop SWEET E's cafe for breakfast. Before we went I read some reviews to get a better feel for it. Got there around 845 and we were on a little wait (15mins) max & it was well worth it. Got greeted fast and efficient then went straight into ordering since we already knew exactly what we wanted. I got the SCRUMPTIOUS blueberry cream cheese french toast that everyone raves about on here. & all I can say is GREAT CHOICE . I was a little worried that it was going to be too sweet but it was just right. You didn't even need butter or that much syrup. It was perfect the way it came out. My girlfriend got the corned beef hash eggs benedict. I got to try this also and Man O Man was it DELICIOUS. These 2 dishes are great. TRY THEM! I'll be back soon ((:

    Man, it doesn't get much better than this. If you're ever in the Honolulu area, you need to stop by and eat breakfast/brunch at Sweet E's Cafe. Parking is a bit weird, and the restaurant is cramped a bit on the inside, but the food and service make up for that tenfold. Definitely will visit the next time I'm in Honolulu, and will tell everyone I know to do the same!

    Very good breakfast place hidden just off Kapahulu. We arrived at about 10am on a weekend and had about a 25-minute wait, which wasn't bad at all, given the small size of this place. (Plus, we had a great/dangerous time shopping the stationery shop nearby - South Shore Paperie!) Sign-in sheet is on the table ahead of you as you walk in the door. To wait, we originally stood in front of the florist next door, and were shoo-ed away from their front door by the apologetic security guard. A little off-putting, but we moved down on the other side of the staircase and that was apparently fine. Super-fluffy omelet! I had the Hawaiian omelet with Spam, portuguese sausage, onion, green onion, cheddar, and it was delicious. Crispy hash browns on the side, plus toast. Service was very attentive and efficient. These guys run a tight shop. My water glass never even approached half-full (or half-empty, depending on your worldview). Orders were taken quickly and arrived lightning-fast. Parking behind the shopping center (look for the plywood sign for Sweet E's parking), or on the street.

    If you like breakfast and brunch then this is the spot to check out. Anytime there is a line at a restaurant is a good thing. It means they have great food and Sweet E's Cafe has lines and amazing food. Mink saw this place on Yelp and so we had to try it out. The parking is a private lot and if you can't secure parking because it's busy, there is quite a bit of street parking available. It's very casual and cozy when you walk into the restaurant. The staff here are all friendly and the kitchen makes the food quick and delicious every time. We like the blueberry stuffed french toast and the corned beef eggs benedict with hash brown well done. I always order coffee and they refill my cup very often which keeps the cup of coffee nice and hot. Must try spot if you're a local or just visiting!

    Although my husband has been talking this place up for ages, this is the first time I have ever eaten here. I ordered the Corn Beef Hash Eggs Benedict. I have NEVER had a better breakfast... ever. I'm not joking. I couldn't believe how delicious it was. I like to eat corn beef hash, but many restaurants do a questionable job at best. I'm not even normally a fan of eggs benedict, but I thought I'd try it, since someone else posted about how good it was. Seriously. Hands down. D E L I C I O U S !! And let's not forget the hash browns. I don't give McDonalds a lot of credit for much, but I really like their hash browns. This place's hash browns were way better. If you've never eaten here, GO! You need to try it out. It's so worth it.

    I'm always on the hunt for a solid corned beef hash and anything dish. Sweet E's has a corned beef and hash benedict that totally hits the mark! The poached egg was a tag over but I didn't mind because the flavor was solid. My Aunty ordered a traditional benedict that was just ok. I'm guessing go with some of the more creative dishes like the corned beef hash benedict, stuffed french toast, or extreme mess and you'll probably leave with a happy and satisfied belly.

    By far one of the best place for breakfast in Hawaii. If you go here be prepared to wait. People come pretty earlier to eat their delicious food. I would rather come here compared to Boot N Kimo because the food is really good and you get more with the pay you pay for. Sometimes they allow you place your order while you are waiting so when you are finally seated your food would be read has well. They're staff is awesome and super friendly!!!! The place is pretty small - The mirror is kinda makes the place look a little bigger. If you come here try their stuff French toast. People usually grab their blueberry cream cheese French toast but I prefer the banana one :) If you're feeling really hungry you can't go wrong with THE MESS - it's a huge plate if eggs and everything mixed in it. Me and fiancé usually just grab this and French toast and we share. Enjoy!!

    I love this cafe. It's a small cute cafe for breakfast. It was worth the wait. When we got there there was a small wait time possibly 15 minutes? It was fairly quick. Parking: They actually have a guy there telling you where to park, he had us park in the street and some people could park on the lot. Service: They are really nice and accommodating. They greet you with a smile and ask you how you are doing. After we ordered we waited five minutes and our food arrived. Food: The portions are huge, I was not expecting to get that much blueberry french toast. I was only able to eat one. It was sooooooooooooo good and worth every fat cell and calorie. It was very delicious and flavorful. I didn't understand why the lady sitting next to me had to open the whole bowl of butter and put it all over her french toast. There was no need for that it was good just as it was. Pricing is pretty good for the amount of food that you get. I will be back to eat more of their delicious french toast.

    This place is in my top three best breakfast spots on the island. It's almost a hidden secret. Food is excellent, so is the service. They have generous portions that will fill you up and leave you happy! Love the French toast. The servers that work there are very attentive and on top things from beginning to end. They are experienced and well trained. It is always nice to see when someone is good at what they do. On weekends just be prepared to wait. I'd like to suggest an extra bench or two outside to be able to sit on while you wait for your table.

    Not a ton of parking. Waited for about 20 minutes for a table but had Leonard's malasadas to hold us over. We ordered 3 different omelettes: Kalua pork, Hawaiian, and chicken pesto. The Kalua pork was the best by far. The Hawaiian has Portuguese sausage and spam. Yum. Really loved the herbed potatoes and the fried rice was good too. Great service. All the guys there were super nice.

    After months and months of seeing pictures of Sweet E's Cafe, I was finally able to try it out. My friends and I wanted to try another breakfast place and decided here. Whooo! I didn't have much of an expectation from this place other than the fact that their food was good. Judging from the reviews and opinions of my friends, the place MUST be good. Still, I didn't except too much because I had a favorite to go place already (but in Kailua). Area: The place is located in a relatively small area in Kapahulu. It's easy to miss if you don't know where you're going (thankfully, the driver had been here before). Parking also wasn't that bad, but the stalls were quite small. My initial thought about this restaurant was that the place was relatively big like Cinnamon's or The Pancake House. However, I was wrong. The restaurant is about medium sized with about 15 - 20 two-seat tables (I may be wrong). Which isn't too bad. When we were called in, the place felt really homey. It had a really cozy atmosphere, which was amazing. There were many black-and-white pictures framed on the walls and little decorations on the wall as you walk in. Food: Another friend told me to try their french toast either stuffed or with fruits. But I wasn't craving french toast at the time. So I ordered the chicken pesto omelette with their hash brown, which was HUGE. The omelette literally took up half of the plate (it was a big plate, too) and the has brown took up about 2/3 of the other half. They also added a cute fruit decoration of a slice of orange topped with a baby strawberry on the 1/3 side. I ate the toast first and it was great. It was, like, the best toast I've ever had (I was really hungry). Then I took a bite of their hash brown. Boy, that was really good. I wouldn't offer some to my friends because it was that good. LOL. The hash brown was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It had some sort of seasoning that brought out the deliciousness of it. I already loved the food even before trying the main entree. So I took a bite of the chicken pesto omelette. And omg. My heart jumped from the goodness of it. Omg. No words to describe their fluffy, savory omelette at all. The chicken was mixed together with the spinach and cheese. I could taste every thing inside. I just have to say: IT'S JUST REALLY GOOD. It's a must try. Service: It's not the best and also not the worst, which leads me to why this place gets 4/5 stars. A waiter came by to ask if we were ready, but one of my friends weren't, so he gave us more time. However, when we were all ready, it took them about 10 minutes to come by our table to ask if we were ready. At first I didn't think much about it. We got our food and started eating. A friend and I were completely finished with our waters and didn't get a refill until we both stuck out our water glass to the empty side of the table, closest to them. It took them about 10 minutes to notice our glasses were empty. That's the only thing that bugged me during our dine in. Overall, I would definitely come back here for their food. Really flavorful and presentable. Picture worthy, I'd have to say. I'll definitely try their french toast the next time I stop by!

    I'm giving 3 stars for the cute place, good coffee, fast service and yummy waffle that my husband ordered. Where did the 2stars go? 1. I got the traditional eggs Benedict with Canadian bacon but very upset coz the hollandaise sauce is very sour! 2. We got a side of ham and it was like being soaked in the ocean coz very salty and dry. 3. A cute closed place like this is very noisy and gave me headache specially we were on a corner . As a conclusion, I am thinking right now of not coming back to this place again.

    This hidden gem is tucked away at the beginning of Kapahulu, coming from Kaimuki side. A bit troublesome to find but most definitely worth it. My Boyfriend and I love eating here! They have a great selection to choose from, ranging from savory to sweet. It's a bit small so please have patience people. They're turn over time isn't that bad and like I mentioned before, it's worth it. Right when you walk in sign in your name on the clipboard so you'll save your place in line for seating. It's literally right in front of you when you walk in the restaurant but you can always hear the servers telling people to sign in. Very enjoyable service too. You'd imagine a cute place like Sweet E's would have cute Asian girls running around taking people's orders. Nope! It's nothing but braddahs with snapbacks and tattoos looking like they came straight outta Nalo, ready to serve you your coffee and pancakes. I personally love it. It adds uniqueness and flavor to this little joint. Five stars for one of my favorite breakfast spots. We all want to start off our day right with a hearty breakfast and Sweet E's will definitely give you just that.

    I was super excited to finally check this place out! I was seeing a lot of buzz about it when they first opened up! I just never found the time to eat here. FINALLY had the opportunity this past weekend. GOOD TIP -- when coming to places that you know are always going to have lines, the smaller your group - THE BETTER. It's obvious that groups of 2 will usually be seated faster then group of 3 or more. Luckily, when my friends and I came the wait was not that bad. Only had a few people before us. Once seated, everything else went pretty quickly. They waiter took our order and the food came out very quickly (which is a great thing when your hungry!) THE GRUB: {{ CHICKEN PESTO OMELET $10.50 }} yelp.com/biz_photos/swee… This amazing omelet was filled with chicken, pesto, tomatoes, spinach, and mozzarella cheese. YUM YUM YUM! {{ CORNED BEEF HASH EGGS BENEDICT $12.95 }} yelp.com/biz_photos/swee… with both benedicts you get a choice of potatoes, hash browns, rice or fried rice ($1.50 extra charge for the fried rice) {{ TRADITIONAL EGGS BENEDICT $11.95 }} yelp.com/biz_photos/swee… Overall - I definitely loved the food here, I hope to come back sometime to try more breakfast options.

    Excellent food, highly recommended, but super busy. Prepare to wait. We had to wait an hour at 10am on a Wednesday. The restaurant is really tiny. I'm hoping they find a larger spot to accommodate more customers.

    Good breakfast food. The kahlua pork benedict was unique, but tasty. The highlight of my meal was this blueberry cream cheese french toast. 3 slices of heaven. If you come here, you must must must order this! It's like crack! The place is small, and service was a little bit slow, but hey, you're in Hawaii. Relax!

    Out of all the popular breakfast and brunch spots on this island, Sweet E's is quickly becoming my favorite by far. The cafe is in a cute shopping plaza with lots of local shops selling everything from pet food to giving tattoos to eyelash extension services to hair salons. It's got a nice neighborhood kind of feel off the very busy Kapahulu Ave. hustle and bustle. The cafe is equally as charming and cute as it's surrounding shops. It almost looks like a little cottage with bright white walls and light from the windows flooding in on the many tables. Even though it's a small space, it does fit quite a bit of people, although not as many tables as patrons usually! Even though this is the one of the busier brunch spots and there is sometimes a wait, it is so worth it in my opinion. Try to come before 9AM for less of a wait at breakfast. After you put your name on the list and eventually (hopefully quickly!) get called, you are seated by excellent servers. The service at Sweet E's is always quick, helpful, and though they usually don't say much, they are never rude or inattentive. The menu has something for everyone. So far I have enjoyed both the banana stuffed french toast and the blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast. Get the blueberry stuffed french toast and add the fruit on top! The plump juicy blueberries combined with the gooey cream cheese makes this the best french toast I've ever eaten. It is a must order for at least someone at your table! It comes with three slices of french toast and I take the last one to enjoy later. Big portions! My omelette-obsessed bf likes to get the Extreme Mess or omelettes when we go. I'm excited to show all my friends and family this breakfast spot. Definitely give it a try if you're a breakfast/brunch lover! I can't even take pictures of my food here because I dive in too fast.

    First timer here and won't be the last! Went her with my sister and her friends and loved everything about it! The parking can be junk:/ but the food was so 'ono here! Small whole in the wall place, big menu selection and very reasonably priced. You get planny food for the price you pay and is tasty!!! Very homey feeling too, loved it. Definitely going back!

    Went here with my boyfriend for breakfast and though I've never heard of it, I liked it a lot when we went in. Overall, it's not that big of a restaurant but wait wasn't that long for us. We waited at most 15 minutes for seats. Once we sat down, the waiter asked if we wanted to get any drinks right away. Then he gave us enough time to decide what we wanted and took our orders. The menu itself wasn't too complicated and it consisted of breakfast foods. I had the eggs benedict and I really liked it a lot whereas my boyfriend got the everything scrambled omelette thing. Both of food came out fast and it was the right amount of portion. It was really good and I would for sure return. The only problem that I had was parking which seemed very full when we got there and it seemed like there was specific parking for specific stores.

    Came here today, and I have to say it was worth the taxi drive. The place is cute, small and has a good variation for their breakfast menu. We ordered the blueberry cream cheese stuffed French toast, with fruit (but felt ripped off since there was not a lot of fruit topping), the corned beef hash Benedict and the Kalua pork eggs Benedict, all which was delicious. No complaints other than fruit. Will definitely come here again

  • Tiarra E.

    Had the croissant sandwich and blueberry cream cheese stuffed French toast. The service was fast and the waiters were very friendly. The wait outside can get a little long, but they provide you with menus and take your order ahead of time if you like so that you don't have to wait too long for your food to come out. The food was really good, definitely will be going back soon!

    Love their blueberry cream cheese French toast! However, I can only give 4 stars since the server added tip to my bill without telling me!

  • Rainy L.

    I always get the same thing when I go there; chicken pesto omelet with rice. However last time I tried fried rice and it was yummy! I kinda wanna try the famous French toast with blueberry cream cheese stuff but seems way to sweet for my liking. Prepare for the wait, no matter which day and what time you go. There's always a wait but not too long. Parking can be tough sometimes. The stalls are just tiny.

    I found this heavenly place thanks to everyone here on yelp! Parking here for me wasnt too bad since i had a small SUV that was able to fit into the lot. DO NOT park in 1 hour parking in the lot. They will know and your day may get much more expensive. Look for the old filipino ladies and they may direct you to street parking with a red curb. Confused us at first but they told us that certain red zones are for the businesses around that area. Got here around 10am looking for a table of 12. (yes there was a lot of us). They told us that it would be MUCH easier to break up the group and that was completely fine with us. 30 minute wait and BAM we are in and ordering. Of course, i ordered the blueberry cream cheese french toast and it tasted just as good as i imagined. breakfast is one of my most favorite things and this did not disappoint. It was cooked just the way i like it. The outside a bit crunchy, but the inside was incredibly soft. It gives the food texture. My girlfriend had the corned beef and of course, i had to steal a couple bites (and by a couple i mean a lot). That was also very tasty. No wonder this place is always busy. Its worth it!

    Service is great. I got the kalua pork eggs Benedict and shared the blueberry cheesecake French toast. They were both hands down the best French toast and eggs Benedict I've ever tasted. Must visit this place if in Honolulu!

  • Liana F.

    Been a fan for this cute little breakfast/brunch joint ever since I've tried it! Everything is perfectly cooked and you can't go wrong with ordering anything. It's a must to order the blueberry cream cheese French toast! It's not too sweet and I'm not a lover of sweets but I'll only eat this. Ordered the corned beef hash Benedict and Kalua Pig Omelet. Pure goodness.

    My husband wanted to try a new breakfast joint rather than go to our usual places. So yes we yelped it and found Sweet E's. When you get here parking is kind of tight but it wasn't that busy so we found a spot and walked right up to Sweet E's. The first thing I noticed was how small the space was but nicely decorated. It looked a whole lot bigger because of the mirror towards the back of the space. We were seated right away and got out drinks fairly quickly. Ordered the Eggs Benedict with roasted potatoes, crossiant sandwich, and the oh so popular stuffed French toast with blueberries and cream cheese. One word to describe the food...SALTY. Ok I can't blame them for the food tasting salty since we've been eating pretty healthy for about 6 months already with less salt intake. But before our change of diet this place would be spot on! Definitely a 4stars but not today. Mostly everything was pretty heavy and had us feeling sluggish after the meal. The one thing that I did enjoy was the Stuffed French Toast with cream cheese and blueberries. This was made perfectly. Now for service...it was ok. Once we got our food not once did anybody come by to refill our water or coffee. Overall food was ok...service could be better. Won't be coming back.

    When we got there, the parking wasn't the greatest, so we turned around and luckily found parking in the front area. Waited about half an hour, reasonable being that they just opened and a lot of other people were waiting as well. As soon as we got in, i enjoyed the quaint and cute decor the place had. Wish it was a little bit bigger. I ordered corn beef hash eggs benedict with fried rice and it was so yum!! Fried rice was moist and not dry like other! The bf enjoyed his Hawaiian Omelette also! After all the yelp reviews of course I couldn't leave without ordering the blueberry stuffed French toast! Very delish, didn't get to eat it all because I was full from my meal but it was very good! I'm a sweet tooth, so it gets my approval! Can't wait to go back again!

    This was my first time here & what a great way to celebrate Mother's Day. We got there a little after 7AM & there was a line already; 6 parties ahead of us to be exact. We didn't mind the wait for we knew that this place was gonna be worth it. There was one thing yhat atood out for me & my family, well other than the food, but we really liked how one of the waters canwehaveareunionsoon outside & started to take food orders from the parties who were next to be seated. This really helped the wait time for us cause when we got seated on our table, our food was being served to us This place definitely was a great place to be with my family. The food was ono & the service was great. I want to go back again soon & try out their lunch menu

    We like to find local places to eat for a couple of reasons. 1) to support the locals 2) it's much better than chain food. The cafe is a bit small but they were able to accommodate our party of 7 very quickly. The server was very nice. I ordered the Extreme Mess. It was fabulous!!! It was enough for two people. We also ordered the stuffed French toast to share. I wanted to eat it all by myself. It is to die for!! My husband and 9 year old daughter had the Hawaiian omelet. It has Spam in it. This was my daughters first experience with Spam. She loved it!! We are only going to be here for a week and we are trying to figure out how to work this in each day for breakfast!! Loved this place!!!!

    Small but very cute comfy place with cute homey devours all around. The eggs Benedict isn't my all time fav from having better hollandaise sauce at others (they add a little too much lemon here) but the herb potatoes are the best!!! The stuffed French toast is a definitely a must get!!

  • Courtney A.

    I'm a early raiser and I live about 5 minutes away. We need more places in Kapahulu that open early for breakfast. Great portion of food and it was really feeling! This place is worth the wait if you don't get seated when you walk-in. Some pointers before heading out: Parking is limited. Highly recommend if you live close by or in walking distance. If there is no seating and you drove you should have your someone write your name down on the waiting list.

    Found this amazing little eatery on Yelp & I'm so glad I did! It was amazing! I ordered the banana french toast with eggs & bacon. :) Parking & waiting were a hassle but it was worth it. Definitely will be coming back on our next trip to Hawaii.

    I ate here with a group of ten other Yelpers. Sweet E's is sort of a hidden gem; it's not the easiest to find. You have to walk through a sort of alley to find a whole slew of storefronts, one of which is the unassuming Sweet E's. I actually walked inside 1015 Kapahululu Ave. and a very kind employee explained to me who to navigate to the restaurant. This restaurant is not the most well-organized. You have to wait outside for a table and someone will come to get you when your table is ready. I originally didn't see the sign, so I awkwardly stood inside and explained to one of the waiters that I was waiting for friends when he asked if he could help me. What would have been exponentially more helpful would be if he had said, "Have you checked outside? People have to wait there for their tables." I finally figured out there was a small sign on the door and I met up with the rest of the group. Once seated, I took a look at the menu and knew immediately that I had to have the stuffed blueberry french toast (okay, so maybe I had checked the menu ahead of time and already knew). The wait time was appropriate and my french toast was quite delicious, although the cream cheese was a little too plentiful and and, well, much for my liking. I still enjoyed my meal by forking out some of that cream cheese so I wasn't too overwhelmed. I totally stuffed myself and still was able to bring back a third of it for my boyfriend to eat for breakfast the following day. A few of the space-conscious aspects of my experience here (like waiting outside in the sun for a table and the bathroom being outside the building) deserve at most three stars. The service was not exceptional, either (three stars). The stuffed french toast is just barely four stars; I am a fan, even if it was a little too rich for me. I guess it all comes down to charm. I was charmed by this place and I give extra brownie points just for having the concept of blueberry stuffed french toast to begin with! So, four stars for you, Sweet E's. You go, Sweet E's. (Props if you get the Mean Girls reference.) Tips: -If you have to go to the bathroom, ask a server and you'll get a key to a unisex bathroom that is across the parking lot. Kind of sketch, but I guess the restaurant was too tiny to fit in its own bathroom. -There is a huge wall mirror on the other side of the restaurant giving the illusion of WAY more space than there actually is. Be careful and don't almost run into it like I did!

    Sweet E's Cafe is a prime example of why I love to Yelp! You learn about places you wouldn't know existed from people who love food as much as you do! Yes Sweet E's has 400+reviews but driving down Kapahulu, if you didn't know where to look, you'd drive right by. Sweet E's Cafe is tucked away in Kilohana Square. Parking is tight but with some help you'll find a spot. Don't hive up if you can't find one right away, it will be worth the time. Of course it's during the time I'm trying to watch my carb intake that I go somewhere known for their stuffed French toast. My mom ordered it and everyone on the table "mmm'd" their way through the specialty. I ordered the chicken pesto omelet which usually comes with potatoes, hash browns or rice. I was lucky and the waiter was nice enough to sub my carbs for a bowl of fruits (yes still carbs but better than the original options). For the first time in my life, I did not add ketchup to my omelet. It was perfectly seasoned and beautifully made. My partner in crime ordered the Kalua Pig omelet which not only had kalua pig but chunks of ham to...pig on pig! Everything was delicious including the fruits! We ordered a side order of corned beef hash. Yes, a fail on the carbs as I looked down to see potatoes. D'OH! I decided to indulge and eat it anyway. Boy! I'm so glad I did! It was delicious! We all agreed this was one of the top corned beef hash we've tried...top in most recent history! Crispy on the bottom with hints of garlic. DELICIOUS! Service was great...not awesome but great. I'd give this place a solid 4.5 stars. The only reason why I couldn't give it a solid 5 was because of little things. The server asked if my partner in crime wanted a refill on her soda, but never brought it back until we asked for a soda again. My mom's french toast was the last thing to come out which left her staring at our food. Maybe it takes a little longer but it was downer. Aside from that this place was amazing. Good food, cute decor and a truly hidden gem on Kapahulu. :)

    The food was excellent, huge portions. The staff was very accommodating since we had one person in our party in an electric wheelchair, he got in easily and they pushed tables together to fit him in. Its a busy place so there was a 30 min wait but felt like it went.faster because they brought out menus in the parking lot and took our order there, as soon as we sat down inside our food was there! Overall, a great breakfast spot!

    I work next door at the clothing store and decided to call in and make a takeout order. The guy who works there, George (if I remember correctly), was nice enough to come to the store and take my order and run back and forth so that I wouldn't have to leave work. Wasn't expecting that but so nice!! Great customer service and LOVE the stuffed french toast

  • Jen P.

    Well, the service in all the other review said it was excellent.... Maybe we just went on an off day? Seen many posts about the corn beef hash eggs Benedict.... Unfortunately everything on my plate was so super salty!! Then sent it back, then I guess the cook had jokes today.... I ordered a regular eggs bacon and rice and the eggs were so salty. I like salt but wth?? Not sure we will ever be returning to this place again! I will also be calling the manager as well.
