I am a small business owner in East Hampton and asked Angela to cater a staff breakfast for us on a Tuesday (their day off). Without hesitation she answered "of course" and delivered at 8am. The food was amazing, enough for everyone to have seconds and left overs. Pancakes were just as big as they are when you dine in and the fruit salad was fresh. Eggs, home fries, bacon and sausage links cooked to perfection! Thank you so much to the crew at Sweet Jeans. This small business appreciates you! read more

I grabbed breakfast here on a Saturday with a friend. She had ordered takeout before, but never eaten in. The space is bright, cheerful and spacious. After much contemplation we both opted for tot bowls. When the food arrived we were both shocked by the gigantic bowls. Unfortunately, the bulk of the bowl was the tots. I ordered the Corned Beef Hash Bowl and my friend ordered the Meat Lovers Bowl. Both of us said that while there were scrambled eggs, neither of us had enough in our bowls. Overall the meals were good, portions were large, and the service was great. read more

This visit to Sweet Jeans was amazing. The sausage jalapeño scramble on its own was a good size portion for breakfast. But then I upgraded home fries to HOT potato home fries which adds sautéed onions and peppers with SPICY SAUSAGE. INSANELY GOOD. You better enjoy spicy food for this order. They offer many scramble bowl combinations and many include tater tots for a side. Yum! The service was friendly prompt with very helpful server. The restaurant has a plenty of seating with mix of booths, tables and high top tables along with breakfast bar. Coffee was very good with many options there as well. Pastries are also available. My Only concern would be the limited parking for this restaurant with tight driving during peak times. read more

Fantastic local restaurant with outstanding food. Highly recommend The Godfather egg scramble. Scrambled eggs with sausage, onions, peppers, jalapeños and melted provolone cheese on top. Just the right amount of spice and flavor. We have also used for catering and guests still rave about the food! Thank you Sweet Jean's! read more

Sweet Jean's Cafe - The Godfather Scramble - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - East Hampton, Connecticut

The menu is almost perfect. Would like to see heart healthy options for breakfast. The portions are good sized. Usually bring home enough for an afternoon snack . The staff is long term AND knowledgeable about entire menu. The kitchen is very accommodating to customer modifications. The acoustics are challenging for hearing impaired/hearing aids wearers. Although closing time is 2:00, we've come in after 1:30 and never refused service nor rushed out. Definitely a 4.5 Star. Worth a visit anytime coming thru Route 66 East Hampton Colchester area. read more

I have been coming here since the summer when we first moved to Connecticut (mostly because we had no way to cook food the first few weeks). They have amazing specials, wonderful menu, breakfast and lunch does not disappoint. I am often in here with my three children and they are always so helpful to accommodate Some alterations for my kids breakfast choices. My one daughter is obsessed with their oatmeal and they always bring out an extra bowl and milk to help it cool down quicker. Their homemade vegetable cream cheese I had the other day was amazing. I have tried about half of their menu so far and I'm not disappointed. Far from it, I will praise them any chance I get and recommend people to go there. Very clean and nice atmosphere inside as well. My only teeny tiny complaint due to my own personal taste preference and not a criticism is the baklava was very hard to cut every time I bought it. The flavor is delicious, but I love having a flaky crunchy baklava that is very easy to break apart. The chocolate cake and carrot cakes are amazing as are their selection of cookies. This is our go to breakfast and lunch place in town. read more

Writing this review as a breakfast/brunch spot. I think it is still a hidden jem because place was busy but we did not have to wait for a table on a Sunday. Specials are on point! Pancakes are soooo fluffy! A true dream!! Just wish the pancake add ins we're a little more mixed into the pancake. Seemed like they just piled mine on top, but still tasted great. Coffee is flowing and tastes better than typical breakfast joints! Food takes longer than a typical diner to come out but it's worth it. Can't wait to try more of the menu, the Benedict, chicken and waffles and spicy hash browns caught my eye! read more

Amazing food! Quick service and all around great atmosphere. The servers and owners are very nice would highly recommend

Large menu. Home like restaurant. Fast service, kind waitresses. Food...I had the Caprese Panini. It was large and tasty but had a bit too many spices (salty) on it. Fries were delic. Prices are very reasonable. read more

Every time we come here the food is great. We have tried a few different dishes between breakfast and lunch and we are never disappointed. The staff is super friendly and just the right amount of attentive. The diner coffee is dreamy. And we love the decor. Every resin table is unique and a really great design. The food is always perfect. We've tried everything from omelette, to French toast, to burgers and it's all just great. Our kid comes here with friends and this is thier spot too for a good bite at HS teenager prices. read more

I had to run some errands so of course I jumped on Yelp to see what this small town had to offer for lunch options. I found Sweet Jeans Cafe & have to admit the prices didn't have me jumping for joy. But I rationalized it because they are a small owned business, in a small, not so well known town during these tough inflated times. I submitted & paid for my order right on Yelp. About 20-30mins later, (I was late) I pulled into their private lot & saw some wooden benches. While making a mental note for the spring/summer, I parked right in front. It was freezing today. Upon walking in, it's much bigger than it appears from the outside. I absolutely love the wall of doggy paintings behind the register. There's a small bar counter across the way with about 4 stools & the dining area opens & stretches to the left end of the building, with tables & chairs, seating 4 people each. The atmosphere has a casual, relaxing coffee shop vibe. I remember thinking, I could come work from here if I get tired of looking at my walls. There were maybe 2-4 people that I could see, dining in so it'd definitely be quiet. I didn't check the outlet situation, but they're only open until 2p anyway. I gave my name at the register & my order was wrapped up, bagged, & ready to go. I ordered The Boom-Boom Sandwich & let me tell you, if you get hit in the sweet spot with this guy, you're down for the count. This "sandwich", it's more like a full size grinder, it's a hefty boy. It's not only heavy, it also smells divine. I couldn't wait to get it unwrapped. Good things come to those who wait. After I removed the classic white paper secured with masking tape, I was stunned. It was beautiful...seriously. It could be in a commercial. Sweet Jean's didn't skimp on the ingredients whatsoever. I honestly feel the money was well spent. It even came with a bag of Deep River potato chips. Score! on supporting another CT family owned business. Back to the program...there's no doubt about the contents of this sandwich all being fresh. First of all the sandwich was still warm. Tomatoes were ripe & a nice thickness for a sandwich. Bacon was real & not the thin, frozen flat kind. Shredded lettuce was crisp, nothing soggy or brown. The sauce is creamy & amazeballs. The fried chicken is crunchy & definitely all white meat. Didn't detect any rib meat & it's so savory. There was nothing dry about it. There's a hint of spice. I couldn't determine if it was the chicken or the sauce. I knew when I layed my eyes on this, I wasn't going to come anywhere near to eating both pieces. That's fine with me, I get to take my taste buds on the adventure again tomorrow or later tonight depending on how strong my will power is. I'm definitely looking forward to working off site here & enjoying more of the menu along with the atmosphere. read more

Came for breakfast on a Sunday morning. We were seated right away. We ordered coffee and tea and placed our order. We waited and waited for about 30 minutes for our food to come out. Our expectations were not high at this point. The food finally came and it was delicious. My Blazing Omelette was cooked perfectly and my hot home fries were very good. We were not happy about waiting so long but it was well worth the wait. read more

Sweet Jean's first opened during the Covid pandemic, so I figured they didn't have a chance. But East Hampton is so lucky that this restaurant stayed in business and thrived! Since it's often crowded, especially on weekends, we felt lucky to get in this morning around 9:15 without any wait - but by the time we left there were a half dozen people on the comfortable bench at the entrance waiting to be seated. It's a cheerful and spacious place, with friendly servers. My husband had the French toast with peaches and cream special while I enjoyed the egg scramble with Cheddar, spinach, tomatoes, and mushrooms. Yum! We have not had a bad breakfast here yet. They are open through lunch and have a kids menu as well. read more

What can I say? Hood food? Absolutely! Good service? Unbelievably good Decent prices? Ohh yeah Portions? Perfect .. not too much nor too little I typically take a wee bit home Ya I gave them five star Don't miss the Irish Eggs Benedict read more

Food was average.. and so was the service. Went for brunch with my family and we waited quite a bit (40-45 mins after ordering) to get our food. I am usually patient, but what bothered me the most is that no one checked up on us and it almost seemed like no one really cared about our table. Other people were being served their food, even those who came in after us. Our waitress was polite overall, but once again, never did check up on us at all during the entire 40-45 mins we were waiting. We ordered sides (tater tots, fresh fruit, and toast) that I felt could've been served to us prior to our main dishes to make it a better experience versus waiting that long for our first bite. I ordered the pitrone sandwich. It was not awful, but it did lack flavor and it was a little dry. The bread was not fresh and the eggs had no seasoning. The chicken was cooked nicely and the hot honey was good, but it wasn't enough to make it a good sandwich. The dry bread and the unseasoned eggs overpowered the sandwich. Pros: The prices are okay and the place is clean. It's always good to support a local business. However, I do not see myself returning in the future and I will probably not recommend my family/friends to eat here. The food isn't something that I would crave or come back for. And the service was not great. There are great places that I would rather eat at than here. read more

I'm basing this review on take-out only, as Sweet Jeans opened right around the time COVID lockdowns started in the Spring and I've not dined out since. We first tried a couple of the family take-out dinners and quickly became fans of their chicken tenders. These takeout meals provide a great value. My favorites have been their grinders. Namely their Italian Hero grinder which is the best of its kind in the area. The wife and kids have really enjoyed their breakfast specials such as the Mexican scramble and the cannoli French toast. The burgers are quite good too. It fills a niche in East Hampton that was lacking - a family friendly diner. As mentioned, I haven't dined in, but the inside space is inviting with a breakfast counter along one side and table seating. The decor matches the food with an eye to comfort. The take-out service has been friendly and competent. There was once that I had to wait quite a bit longer than expected. I suspect they misplaced my order or were exceptionally backed up. But I'm a patient man and especially during the pandemic where many restaurants are finding themselves short-handed, I can cut them some slack. Sweet Jean's has definitely earned its spot in our rotation of local favorites. read more

Good local spot for breakfast. Good vibes and good friendly service. They are very accommodating to young children with a kids menu, high chairs etc... We have been here multiple times for either breakfast or lunch and the food is solid. Good Eggs Benedict! The Hollandaise sauce is perfect. The coffee is lackluster in my opinion, and could be hotter also; which brings me to my only complain about Sweet Jean's... cold food. I have been served on multiple occasions and been served cold home fries, biscuits and gravy, other sides, etc... I don't know if it sits at the window too long or if it comes out of the kitchen that way, but it is disappointing and for that it gets knocked a point in my book. Despite, I still stand behind my rating. I think the food and service are solid and the ambiance is great and will continue to comet here; and if anything changes I will update my review. read more

Not bad at all ...although, Vibe: Clean, colonial & cute large cabin space. Service: SJ's Cafe really deserves a customer service shake up. Because the host was not professional nor hospitable. (I was dressed casual clean with a designer jacket.) She asked, 'What do you what?' rather than a cordial greeting one would expect. 'Table for one - to stay', I replied. She left then returned and said 'follow me.' As she seated me by the back area. Food: The over hard eggs, bacon and juice were delicious. Surprisingly the pancakes were huge and fluffy. Yet the massive flapjacks were a bit late and served in silence by the same host with no apology. The waiter was very cool and accommodated me for the slight delay in service. 3.5 read more

Definitely a great vibe here. You walk in and the aesthetic is on point. The coffee and juice came in nice mugs and mason jars. I got the Nonni Jean eggs benedict with their hot home fries. The home fries were good and definitely had heat, also mixed with kielbasa, onions, and peppers. The eggs were poached real well and the whole breakfast was delicious. Definitely one of the best breakfast places in the area and I would love to go back. read more

I've been there a few times, coffee is always burnt, food is generally good but they rarely get your order right. Some of the staff hang out front and smoke cigarettes yelling rude things to each other. The seating is very cramped and uncomfortable. I would recommend choosing a different place to eat. read more

Absolutely the best breakfast in the area! Omelettes are a great size as are the huge pancakes!! I have always had leftovers (although my husband never has). Coffee is really good and staff is so friendly and pleasant. I have always received very consistent service. I'm definitely a bigger fan of breakfast over lunch there. Lunch is burgers and basic sandwiches on long rolls. I was asked if I wanted my bread toasted and I said no. That was a mistake as the reason the bread is toasted is because it must be kept in the fridge. Received cold bread. Nothing exciting about that. Great breakfast place!!!! read more

The staff is friendly but the food is just subpar. Suggestion put more than one piece of cheese on the egg scramble tot bowls, sooo dry. Literally not a speck of salt in the fried chicken for chicken and waffles. Nothings horrible, but nothings good either. read more

This place is overrated. The inside is kinda weird too, although I will say it does feel like your local breakfast spot since it was busy and there was chatter all around. I ordered The Meat Lover's omelet and I only ate a little bit as I just didn't want to waste the calories on something I wasn't impressed with. It comes with home fries and toast, but they should change that to bread slopped with butter as the "toast" wasn't toasted at all. The home fries were just kind of there...they had no flavor compared to the other breakfast spots very close to this joint. My girlfriend tried their French toast and again, had no flavor, but then again I'm spoiled with my challah French toast I make at home which I compare to everything. All in all, this place isn't a horrible place to go to but if you're in this neck of the woods, there are plenty of options that this place doesn't hold a candle to. I probably will not be coming back unless they make some improvements and try to be competitive with actual money worthy breakfast spots! read more

Sweet Jean's Cafe - Looks good, but the "toast" isn't toasted and the home fries have no flavor. Omelet was alright but it really wasn't great. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - East Hampton, Connecticut

There's good and there's not so good about this place. The good: service was friendly, it was packed but we got seated quickly, the decor and atmosphere was slightly more upscale than your typical greasy spoon diner and the coffee was good and served in big mugs. The not so good: it is expensive. It costs $9.50 for two eggs, hash browns and toast--no meat. Prices just go up from there with almost every menu item over $10. I got an omelette and it was huge but very over cooked. I seriously do not enjoy that dark brown overcooked coating on the eggs on the outside of an omelette and this was very over cooked. I paid $9,99 for a one item omelette and it was over cooked and not pleasant. There were not very many hash browns on the plate, either. I don't mind paying more spendy prices in a bit of a nicer breakfast place, but make sure it's cooked properly if I'm paying that much! My dive diner close to my house that is dirt cheap gets it right every time! Other items at our table looked good, but both omelettes were overcooked. Home fries were unseasoned but cooked nicely with some crunchy bits. Bill for 3 of us with full breakfasts and coffee was about $48 before tip. I may go back again and choose something else next time but will be more likely to stick to the less expensive greasy spoon near me. read more

Nothing special, just pricey mediocre fixins in a nice friendly blue collar , lunch bucket type town that has much more to offer than this place. I recommend trying it once, because my standards, quirks, and attitudes can be a bit different than mainstream. Just don't get your hopes up. read more
