Diner style breakfast place that's delicious! Come for a hearty breakfast before a hike or exploring. -Banana pancakes (5/5) - the star of the show for me. Definitely ask for the coconut syrup, and this is your breakfast in literal paradise. The syrup isn't too overly sweet, and the pancakes taste like banana bread. - Kalua pork eggs Benedict (5/5) , delicious, chef's kiss. Portion was great and very filling. - Breakfast burrito with Kalua pork (5/5) - my husband really liked this one! But it didn't come with any sides. Make sure to add some on if you want them! Came early, around 8ish on a weekend, and there was already a wait! We waited about 15 min and were seated promp read more

Food was excellent. We got the stuffed French toast and the traditional breakfast with eggs hash browns and corned beef. The staff were super fun and attentive. Our coffee stayed warm the whole time. I recommend going before 8. It got really busy as we were leaving. The parking lot is super small and vehicles were waiting to park Overall, a nice place to have breakfast with a great atmosphere. Highly recommended. read more

Great place for breakfast. I ordered the Hawaiian omelette, I think, with potatoes. Omelette was filled with spam, Portuguese sausage, cheese. i loved that they have butter on the table. Back home, the give you "buttered" toast, which is usually just a slap of oil in one place. It's the little things. Meats were flavorful and potatoes crisp. Service was fast and friendly. Parking lot is very small but worth the hunt for parking. read more

Sweet E's might genuinely be the best breakfast I've ever had. I ordered the Hawaiian omelette with fried rice, and my husband got the corned beef hash benedict, and we split their French toast. The presentation was beautiful with a taste to match. We were both blown away by how good everything was. Also, the staff is super cool and very attentive. Awesome experience. This place is a must do. read more

We took the 13 bus from Waikiki, which drops you off about a block away. Wait time on a Saturday at around 10:30 am, was about 20 minutes. As we waited, we were definitely entertained by the host who loudly yelled out your name when your table was ready. It's a pretty casual spot with outdoor seating available. We were happy to be seated outside, although it was a bit hotter than being in air conditioning. Service is friendly and efficient. Our water was already on the table when we were seated and we ordered as soon as the waiter arrived. With all the rave reviews, I tried the Kahlua Pork Benedict with a side of hash browns. For me, this dish was a 3.5 star rating at best. The eggs were cooked perfectly, but everything, except for the hash browns, was very underseasoned. The hash browns were delicious and a life saver for this dish. We also ordered the eggs with portuguese sausage and hash browns. A solid dish with delicious portuguese sausage that we were craving on this trip. Overall, it was great to try, but I would not return. read more

Food and service are both excellent! The staff work together like a well oiled machine, and I swear that they put my order in before I got there, it was so fast! Also, the place is spotless. We liked it so well we went back later in the week. Eggs Benedict were excellent. Omelettes were too, and huge (too much for a senior citizen in this case). The only drawback is that parking is difficult. They have a very small lot, and on street parking is tight. The second time we went, we parked at a shopping center about a block up the street, and seemed to get away with it. read more

The staff is very welcoming unfriendly. You feel like you're at a friend's house for breakfast. We ordered the meat lovers omelette with roasted potatoes and a side of toast and avocado. We also got a side of fried rice. Everything was good and the food came out quickly. I love their charming little spot. It looks like it's run by a couple of friends that are locals. They engage with their customers a lot, and we're really sweet. Definitely a local spot that must be tried. read more

It's been a long time since I've eaten here but after shopping one day, my mom wanted to grab brunch so we decided to go here. The weight was only about 10 to 20 minutes and luckily there was parking. I ordered the everyday breakfast with hashbrowns and corn beef hash. The food came quick and the corn beef hash with a little burnt, but overall was ok. There is a lot of seating inside and outside and service was quick and friendly. Definitely will be back again. read more

Sweet E's Cafe - Every day breakfast - Cafes Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The service here was very fast I didn't have to wait long after ordering, and the food came out hot and fresh. The servers were really nice, and I was honestly surprised that it was only men working. I ordered the pancakes, eggs Benedict, and a breakfast burrito. The pancakes and eggs Benedict were nothing special, but I will say the breakfast burrito was super good definitely the highlight of the meal. I would highly recommend getting it since it's packed with flavor and not skimpy on the filling. One thing I'll add: there's no way you can miss your name being called because they are yelling and I mean yelling at the top of their lungs, letting the whole street know your table is ready. read more

I'm always so happy when we're able to eat here! I love looking at all the beautiful family pictures on the wall. The food is so ono and the service is exceptional! I was so anxious to dig in that I forgot to take pictures! My grilled vegetable sandwich was delicious and very filling, and the coffee and water kept coming! Shout out to our favorite Mohawk guy! You always make our visits so fun! Hope to be back again sooner rather than later! read more

AMAZING 10/10 DEFINITELY GO HERE! My boyfriend and I tried this place on a whim. The vibe, speed of service, food, AND pricing were all amazing. It's rare to find good food for a cheap price with excellent service. The only thing is they do have a small parking lot, so be aware when coming here. This restaurant is worth the wait and all the tips. read more

Really fast service and the line isn't a long wait at all! We got our food in under ten minutes, and the food was amazing. The workers are so sweet and it felt like I was eating at my families! They even gave us a tub of toys for our three year old to keep her occupied if there was a wait!! Skip ihop and support locally! read more

We got this recommendation on ChatGPT, and it was incredible! We sat outside and it was gorgeous with sunshades to keep the flies and sun out of our eyes. It's a cute, local diner that has delicious food. The service was INCREDIBLE. We were checked on multiple times, and ensured we were happy with our breakfast. Sweet E's was accommodating to preferences in meals. They made sure we were happy! Best place I've been to in Oahu! read more

Easily the best service I've gotten in 2 years on island. Servers all share responsibility of the whole cafe and we were checked on by at least 4/5 different servers within just the first ten minutes of service. Food came out fast and tasted great. They made you feel spoiled and the prices are great. Unheard of service on Oahu. Will be returning!! read more

In Kapahulu, Sweet E's is a breakfast/brunch/lunch spot with limited parking in the front but a good amount of seating inside and outside! We found street parking since the lot was full and were seated quickly, which was nice because it seemed like they were pretty full. We've been wanting to go here for a while but have always delayed it due to the parking -- it turned out to be okay! There is an inside area and outside area. Both were pretty pleasant with a good amount of airflow and natural light. We got the Kalua Pork Eggs Benedict and Croissant Sandwich. The service was quick and we got our food promptly. We enjoyed both food items. The sandwich was good -- nothing crazy but pretty solid. Next time, we hope to try a sweet menu item or an omelette! read more

Great food & great service!! Couldn't believe my review was 8 years old! They're still our favorite breakfast when not too busy.

FYI - parking lot is small, but there is tons of street parking all around. Came here for breakfast on a Wednesday morning. We got seated and got service right away! My son ordered chicken pesto omelette w/rice. It came with spinach and melted cheese inside. The pesto wasn't overpowering. There was a great ratio of cheese, chunks of chicken and spinach to egg. I got the Kalua pork eggs Benedict w/rice. It was delicious! The hollandaise sauce wasn't too rich. The portion size was perfect! My daughter got the lox bagel sandwich. She loved how everything was deconstructed. The bagel was slightly toasted, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. My other son got the banana stuffed French toast. He said it was really good! He just wished there was a little more banana. But he said it was still good. My husband got the corned beef hash, eggs and friend rice. The corned beef was crispy. The friend rice was tasty and the eggs were cooked to perfection. Service was amazing! Food was delicious! Portions are spot on! All-in-all this is a great place to check out!! I'd definitely recommend coming here!! read more

I came here Sep 2024, and I still haven't forgotten Sweet E's! My partner at the time got the extreme mess, and it was soooooo good that we had to come back again the next day! I got the French toast the first day, and that was amazing as well! The servers and employees are all so kind, and it was so cute inside the cafe! There's pictures lined all around the restaurant of I'm assuming all the loved ones! Coffee was soooo good and so was the pineapple juice! Any time someone tells me they're going to visit Hawaii I tell the to go to Sweet E's :) mahalo!! read more

Always delicious, always great, quick service once you're inside. Parking isn't that bad, you might have to walk up to 100 yards at worst but it's worth it. I like that every server helps every customer so you are never wanting for anything. The food is so good that when we are in Oahu we eat here almost every morning! read more

Such a fun place! You feel like you're going to a party at Aunty's house! The vibe is happy and relaxed. The food is DELICIOUS and service is GREAT! They are very attentive. We lucked out and got a table right away. It was definitely not due to the restaurant being empty. It was bustling! Just perfect timing. Definitely worth many more visits and a place to bring friends! (This is a very tardy review) (New-in time review)My BFF came home for a visit. As I said earlier, that is definitely a place to bring friends! Let's say she was impressed! Again, service was on point. Everyone steps into help, it's not a matter of this is my section and that's yours. Quick and efficient service. EVERYONE should works here is pleasant. Food is delicious. Portions are generous. I wish they had another location closer to my home. read more

Came to check out this breakfast place on a Monday so the wait wasn't too bad. The place looked unassuming, but it had a cozy feel to it. The employees were, shall I say, "sweet-Es?" They were friendly and talked to you as if you were a friend. I liked all the food here and if there's only one thing you can get, go for the Egg Benedict with Kalua Pork! * Egg Benedicts w/ Pork Kalua & Fried Rice 5/5 - This was easily the best Egg Benedict I've had yet. The eggs sit on a generous bed of kalua pork, melted cheese, and thin English muffin. The flavor was quite out of this world when the egg oozed out and the creaminess of the egg, the sweetness and saltiness of the pork, the smoothness of the cheese, the softness of the bread all mix in together. Ah, this was a piece of heaven on earth. The fried rice was interesting though just alright 3.5/5. It was a soy sauce fried rice with crunchy bacon and egg bits. * Epic Breakfast Burrito 4.5/5 - The breakfast sandwich was good and packed with ingredients. Though its flavor was overshadowed by the Egg Benedict. read more

Great service, great food all the time. Have never been disappointed in the five years we've been going there.

I wish we found this place sooner! We've been trying out so many different breakfast spots since we've been out here for a week, but this took the cake. Our food plus coffee only cost $33 which I think is a steal given how expensive everything in Hawaii is. Staff is also very friendly. read more

Great place for breakfast or lunch! We stopped in about 0800 after hiking Diamond Head just before the rush. The staff were very efficient and friendly; there didn't seem to be any one person assigned to our table, yet they were all helping each other and making sure all the customers were attended to. Water glasses stayed filled and service was great! We ordered the breakfast burrito, spinach and feta omelette with roasted potatoes, classic breakfast and the banana pancakes. Everything was so good and well prepared. Make sure to ask for the coconut syrup! Prices were fair for Hawaii. Local, family run business. Parking is limited so go early! read more

We went on a Sunday morning around 8am and we didn't have to wait more than 5 minutes to be seated. Parking on the street was fairly easy as well. The service is super fast and the food comes out quickly. The omelette was okay, but nothing extraordinary. The prices are right though. We like sitting outside in the shade. read more
