Fabulous spot for brunch! Nothing fancy, but great bustling coffee shop vibe. Every single person who works there was so welcoming and super friendly. They live aloha here! The food was fabulous. Exactly what you expect for a casual breakfast diner experience. I will return over and over again! All that said, be prepared for a wait if you come on a weekend morning. It's worth it, but if you're expecting to walk up and get a table, you're going to be disappointed. 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

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

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

They were very nice and the service was quick. I like that you can take your coffee in a to go cup. The prices are very reasonable. As far as food goes, I found my scrambled eggs to be a bit dry. Nothing that my wife or I tried was particularly ground breaking, but overall the food was quite good. A great place to go for a solid, affordable breakfast. read more

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

This is by far one of the best breakfasts I've ever had! Went here with my family at the end of our trip (we're from CA). We're really sad we didn't discover it earlier on in our trip, because we definitely would've come here a second time! I would've uploaded pictures of the food, but we started digging in and it was too good to stop! The ambiance was alright but the service and food exceeded our expectations! I got the Hawaiian omelette with herb-roasted potatoes, and a pancake on the side. 10000/10 recommend! read more

All men servers 2day....and in shorts...cool!! Many from roy's...I know food is excellent and a casual and real busy place for locals & tourists too. I will be back, I found parking in lot too!! 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

Hidden gem! Amazing French toast and the Kailua pig and ham omelette was out of this world. Super friendly staff and nice atmosphere!

Excellent service and delicious food at reasonable prices. What else can you ask for?

Sweet E's Cafe checks every box. They happily welcomed our dog - a huge plus - and the staff were friendly, helpful, and spot-on with their recommendations. The potatoes were divine, genuinely some of the best we've had. The pancakes were light, fluffy and delicious. Their omelettes were cooked to perfection, and stuffed with yummy veggies. Great atmosphere, accommodating staff, and the food absolutely backs up the reputation. Another breakfast gem in Honolulu. Give yourself some time for parking if the lot is full, but it's usually full for a reason. The food is banging. Highly recommend. 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

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

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 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

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

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

Service is excellent, our server is friendly knowledgeable, very helpful since we are not local we don't have any idea of what to order so she gave us tips I love the Bibimpba, volcano is also good and their congee is something different but good, a twist of Asian food My matcha drink is also excellent !!!

This place is just as good as all the other reviews say! Food tasted great, reasonably priced, and service was really good. Came here on a Tuesday morning around 8:30am with a group of 8 people- we waited 15 minutes before getting seated. They already had waters out for us when we got to the table and the servers were very attentive. Food came out quick and everything we got was great. Really recommend the corned beef hash eggs Benedict!! The other dishes like the omelette were good too, but not amazing- eggs were cooked a little too well-done for our tastes. But overall, our group was super happy with the food and experience! read more
