    Sweet E's Cafe is an awesome quick breakfast location to stop and eat while you explore the area. After finishing up Manoa Falls we decided to fuel up at Sweet E's and it was the best decision of the day. We had no issues finding parking right in front of the restaurant. They offer indoor and outdoor seating and we chose to sit outside. We ordered our drinks and got them fast and our server let us know they were known for their eggs Benedict. I got the Kailua pork Benedict and my brother got the traditional eggs Benedict. I really wanted to try their stuffed French toast and my favorite part about the restaurant was that they allow you to do single or full orders for the French toast and I'm glad I did because I would not have wanted to miss out on trying it. I loved everything about Sweet E's Cafe and can't wait to come back again!

    Returned to Sweet E's for the first time in years and it was as good as I remember. Quality, hearty reasonably priced food and a good variety of options to choose from, including lunch dishes served from 11am. What was most special and unforgettable about the experience was the hospitable, quick, and attentive service. We notified the staff that our table included a baby, and they accommodated us with a high chair, sippy cup, and toys to keep the baby busy. Staff were also friendly, always checking on us, and our coffee cups kept full. Parking available in a small lot in front or nearby on the street. We didn't have to wait more than 10 minutes for a table, and our day could not have started any better. Thanks Sweet E's!

    Had to leave a review because of their immaculate service lol. Dude with the blond Mohawk made our day! We came here an hour before closing (we're so sorry!) and got sat next to one of the workers at another table sorting through receipts. He had 2 small PERSONAL portable fans pointed at him and asked if we wanted to use them. I respectfully declined but my partner took up the offer lol. We talked story for a bit about where we went to high school and what we were up to today and he was checking on customers from his seat. "Ey salt life! (The man had a shirt that said "Salt Life") you need anything over there??" He yelled at the man across the room. They laughed and said no. Now onto the FOOD. I ordered the corned beef hash eggs Benedict and lemme tell you, one of the best restaurant made breakfast meals I've had in a long time. The guy recommended the hash brown and I can see why. Usually I don't fw hash brown because it can be a little soggy or plain, but not this one. It was perfectly salted and because they grate it so fine it's crispy from edge to edge. Best hash browns I've ever had in my entire life. They give an extremely generous amount of corn beef hash as well, so much so I couldn't even see the English muffin underneath. You can really tell they make it themselves too. I only tried a bite of the mess but it was also delicious. If you love the skillet breakfast from Denny's, this is basically an elevated version of that. The waffle was great, generous portion of fruits on top. Nothing to call home about though. They even let us take more coffee to go when we left!! We ended up both only finishing half of our meals and ended up taking the rest home. Now I'm off to work with these leftovers lol

    Service is always great! It's all male staff (i believe) but they sit down and actually talk to you as you order:) They also give great recommendations, so don't hesitate to ask! There is outdoor and indoor seating. They have ample seating so the waitlist moves by quick in the morning. Parking is, however, very limited though. The ambiance of the store is quite comfortable, you can also join their Spotify group and add songs to the queue!!! The food is really good and the price is good as well! I recommend anything corned beef hash, the hash brown, and eggs benedict!

    Couldn't leave Hawaii without stopping at Sweet E's Cafe for breakfast with the fam bam! The waiters were super nice, friendly, and welcoming, and the food was delicious! It's also conveniently located near Leonard's and Sunrise Shack, making it the perfect stop while exploring. Definitely a must-try when you're in Hawaii! Parking is limited

    Breakfast Burrito, stuffed French toast,
    Kayla L.

    The food was your average breakfast food, but definitely get their stuffed French toast because it's amazing! The serving sizes are good for the price and the food. The service is also very quick and the outdoor seating was nice but inside was small. It could've been a little cleaner as well. But they are very packed on weekends so get there early. I would definitely recommend going there and trying it out!

    Eggs benedict
    Lauree T.

    This is my favorite place to go for brunch! It's very delicious and I always order their Eggs Benedict with hash browns. Their other menu items are good too but if I want an amazing eggs benedict, I go here. The place is very spacious and also has outdoor seating, it's a cozy setting. The servers there are super chill and nice too so you'll feel right at home! They also come out with the food so fast

    corned beed hash
    Samantha L.

    This spot offers great value with generous portions and is perfect when you're craving a simple, satisfying breakfast. The service was also a highlight, as everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. My favorite dish was actually the Mess. It was loaded with ingredients, hearty, and easily enough to keep you full for hours. The stuffed French toast was another standout. I tried both the banana and blueberry versions, and while both were delicious, the banana was my favorite because it was a bit sweeter and more flavorful. If you're looking for a casual breakfast spot with large portions, friendly service, and reasonable prices, this place is definitely worth a visit.

    @fortunefoodfinds: "Words cannot EGGS-press how much I L.O.V.E. you! A Corned Beef Hash Eggs Benedict with Fried Rice n' a Stuffed Banana & Cream Cheese French Toast topped with Fruits from Sweet E's Café off of Kapahulu. After all these years since my last visit, they are still seriously so good. A great spot to have breakfast or brunch, oh how I've missed you so much!" SERVICE: fast, friendly, n' fully staffed INTERIOR: good amount of indoor n' outdoor seating. Chose indoor to stay in the AC. EXTERIOR: off of Kapahulu WAIT TIME: got on waitlist n' seated 10 mins later PARKING: very tiny free lot, this is the only downside OVERALL COMMENTS: the last time I went here was 9 yrs ago so I was way overdue. Picked a sweet dish n' a savory dish. The Corned Beef Hash Eggs Benedict with Fried Rice is bomb! Big enough to share. The corned beef isn't super crispy but it's all about the flavor. The way they seasoned the corned beef n' hash is so good. The eggs were cooked nicely with a runny yolk n' the fried rice was delicious. The Stuffed Banana & Cream Cheese French Toast topped with Fruits was soft, sweet, n' creamy. It complimented the savory dish so well. Place is kid friendly, my 1 y/o was crying n' a staff member brought out toys. I need to come back more frequently!

    We decided to visit Sweet E's Cafe on a morning where our power went out due to the storm and it was wet and rainy. Looking for a hearty breakfast meal and hopefully not too many other people out and about we decided to try our luck with Sweet E's Cafe. Well we somehow got lucky with a parking spot out front and an ope table outside. Not realizing how windy and bit chilly it was, our kids were not prepared for that and thankfully our server found us a table inside. They brought small toys for the kids to play with while we ate. I got the spinach and feta omelette with hash browns. The kids got bagel sandwiches which now looking back they could have split. I was quite surprised at how well seasoned and cooked the hash browns were. I think that was my favorite part. I think they omelette could have done with a little more salt or feta, but those hash browns made up for it. The side is very cozy with many pictures hanging on the walls. The place was bustling for most of our time there. Parking is very limited in the lot out front. There is street parking but we couldn't find anything within a decent walking distance. Somehow we lucked out on the second go around.

    We have made it a point to stop here for breakfast on every trip to Oahu. The service, ambience and most especially the food is consistently fantastic!

    Hawaiian Omelette w/ Fried Rice and Toast Veggie Eggs Benedict w/ Roasted Potatoes Extreme Mess w/ Sourdough Toast
    Angeli M.

    If you're looking for a breakfast place that has wonderful food and good value for money, Sweet E's Cafe is the place to go. Service: Awesome. We were actually asked about 3 times by 3 different servers if we wanted a different drink besides water, which was ok with us. We appreciated them being very attentive to each table's needs. Food: 10/10. I ordered the Veggie Eggs Benedict and it tasted really good. I liked how the ingredients taste fresh and how the benny complemented very well with the potatoes. I also sampled my brother's fried rice and it was amazing. The Extreme Mess was flavorful too, a little bit on the saltier side for me but my boyfriend enjoyed it. Ambiance: We were seated outside but it was covered and well-ventilated. The place is well-maintained and clean, and has a "local brunch place" vibe which I liked. Parking: We lucked out and got parking at the available space by their lot, around 11am on a Saturday. There's also street parking available.

    Best local spot for breakfast! Funny and attentive staff, amazing coffee and food was delicious! Must try when in Oahu.

    Stuffed French toast soo good!

    Yes. We have seating on our outside patio.

We started with a shrimp elote special and the chicken liver mousse. The shrimp elote was unique and flavorful. The mousse was my favorite thing of the night. So rich and creamy and the cherry marmalade paired so well with it. Love that they provided ample bread to go with it. I had to try the la chancla cocktail - the mayo washed mezcal caught my eye. It sounds a little strange but it was very good and was quite strong. For entrees we got the carbonara and zucchini lemon risotto. The carbonara was really rich and the Portuguese sausage added a nice touch. Looking at pictures of it beforehand I was worried the portion size would be small but it's served on a large bowl making the portion look smaller than it is. The risotto had a refreshing tangy sweetness from the lemon. Both have the option of adding on crispy prosciutto for $4. We didn't but saw some that other people ordered and it looked amazing - next time! One of the servers there provided a great recommendation with a wine pairing for the carbonara and let me try a rose before committing. It wasn't something I would normally have chosen but it worked well and I'm grateful for his helpfulness.

I'll probably return for my coffee fix as it seems to be one of the few coffee shops in the area open on Sundays. Happy Drinking!

I'd never been to their other locations, so this was my first experience -- and honestly, it left an impression. That spot in Kapolei has seen a few restaurants come and go over the years. Before Scratch Kitchen, there was Sugar Cane, and if I reach far enough back, I'm pretty sure a Mexican restaurant lived there too. It's one of those spaces where you hope the next place finally sticks. But the food at Scratch Kitchen? Absolutely delicious. The kind of meal where the pictures alone make your mouth water. If "smell‑a‑vision" or "lick‑your‑screen" technology existed, everyone would understand exactly what I mean. Every dish was full of flavor, beautifully done, and perfect for a Mother's Day treat. Which is why I can't help but wonder what happened -- like so many restaurants before them in that same location. With food that good, you'd hope they'd be the ones to break the cycle. All in all, I'm grateful I got to enjoy that meal with my daughter. It was memorable, delicious, and one of those small moments you hold onto. Marie

Loved: The street tacos with the tempura shrimp were easily the star of the meal. 100% worth it. Light, crispy shrimp with a flavorful slaw and just the right amount of heat--basically a flavor party in every bite. The burger was another quiet star. Juicy patties, nicely seasoned, and stacked just right. Nothing super flashy, but really satisfying. Definitely a good pick if you're not in the mood for brunchy stuff. The Miss: Tried the French toast and... meh. It looked great on the plate but tasted dry and definitely didn't live up to the level of the other dishes.

    It was so sad this business is closing down by Oct 31st. With rising food costs, inflation and…read morestaffing, it's understandable but I wish best endeavors for Chef Jason Peel and his staff. My fiance won a gift card actually 2 of them (from his coworker whom could not get a reservation secured), we knew we had to make the trip over before they officially close. We had multiple dishes, but staff made Kauai prawns and tomato miso black cod dishes on the house since they ran out the Hokkaido scallops. We ordered the short ribs, lobster appetizer, hamachi crudo and lastly sashimi moriawase to finish food palate. Lukki lemon dessert was great way to end to night. Ordered the Milk tea bouquet cocktail while my better half had water ( either way the food coma knock him out cold the rest of the night lol). To be honest, it was difficult to determine which dish was the best because the staff kept quality there despite it being busy every night since they announce the closure. Sashimi moriawase, fish was so fresh, reminded me of my time spent in Hokkaido and Sapporo. Short ribs was soft and rich in flavor. Both me and my fiance liked the lukki lemon dessert, like lemon meringue pie but broken down version. If you have a chance to dine here before closing and got a reservation, definitely will have a lovely dining experience and your stomach will be full by end of the night.

    Husband and I tried Nami Kaze in our recent trip to Hawaii. This place is huge! I was so glad to be…read moreseated in the side room because I found it to be a lot calmer, less people and no TV. The staff were friendly and very helpful with giving us recommendations. We ordered 3 appetizers and 2 entrees, and honestly it was too much food for us. We had leftovers for breakfast the next day! - For appetizers we got: Ulu Tots, Japanese Eggplant, and Corn Beignets. The Corn Beignets was the best. - For entree we got: Tomato Miso Black Cod and the Short Rib. Both were delicious and worth a try. Sad to see that this restaurant appears to be closing.
