Sweet Buns - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Englishtown, New Jersey

We went in on a Sunday late morning so there was about a 15 minute wait. The service was friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was hip and cute but a little tight. I'm a very picky coffee person and the gingerbread latte was ok. However- the food was DELICIOUS! I got the breakfast bowl no meat and in hindsight would have asked them to sub with more eggs bc the ratio of eggs to potatoes was off but still sooo good. My husband got the corned beef hash and he practically licked his plate clean. Then we shared the Nutella pop tart. It was WORTH IT. I bought one to go as well! Will be going back! read more

I've been in the shopping center and didn't even know this was here. Called and made a reservation which was available. I loved the decor and it's so cute inside. Everyone was super friendly. I was excited once I looked them up to see they offer specialty coffee as I'm a big coffee fan, but when we arrived, the menu was different. Not a problem-I get things change and rotate. The options they had weren't really for me, but they let me tweak some thing, it wasn't bad. Maybe they'll have different flavors I like more next time. The food was really good though. I got a bowl and they let me sub egg whites. The potatoes were really good. Would definitely come back. read more

Sweet Buns - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Englishtown, New Jersey

I love a brunch spot that can hit the mark and then some, pulling off a relaxed vibe from the moment you walk in the door. We were more early birds to the brunch scene (around 9:15am) and had the pick of where to sit. Our server was so sweet and we actually ended up meeting the owner who to our surprise we met when he used to serve at Metropolitan Cafe in Freehold. The wait wasn't long for our food and boy they didn't disappoint. My only critique is to have more poptart flavor options. Besides that, the Nutella poptart was flakey and deliciously made from scratch. You don't find many places that serve shashuka and theirs was hot, which was different than we've had in the past. Still cleaned off the plate. Bacon was crispy and southern style Bennie gave me happy feet (YUMMY). And the stuffed avocado was divine. Highly recommend sweet buns for friends and family alike. We'll be back soon! read more

Pleasant experience and so many great brunch options at this cute cafe. I love eggs Benedict and was so excited to see such a cool new take on it with the Southern style Bennie with fried chicken on a biscuit! It was delicious! My husband ordered the steak and eggs and he said it was perfect, a ribeye, small salad with vinegrette and the crisp potatoes which were so tasty. Crispy on the outside, mash potato like on the inside! We tried their specialty lattes, he had the tres leches which was delicious and I had the banana bread one which was ok but the banana bread on top made up for it. We ordered pop tarts and buns to go and they were the perfect treat at home. They were reasonably priced which makes eating out to brunch more frequently possible! Will definitely back! read more

Everything is perfect food service ambiance love this local spot. Definitely try their homemade pop tarts!

Sweet Buns is amazing. The breakfast plate I had (eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes) was probably the best I've ever had. The service is friendly, efficient and welcoming. The only bad thing is it could become wonderfully addictive! read more

Place was really nice, clean and cozy. The problem is the service was super slow, and unfriendly. The waitress was dry like toast and less than euthastic. She asked us if we wanted to drink and then disappeared fir about 10 minutes, we actually had to flag her disn and there was only 4 in the whole place. The owner took our order but he wasn't much bettet, simply dry, never smiled, never thanked it was our first time, he acted self entitled. I won't go back ever and I won't recommend that anyone waste their money. I gave them 2 stars because the food was good and the place was clean, but if you can occasionally maybe smile and act like customers do matter it may help. read more

Food was delicious and creative especially the breakfast potatoes Coffee hot and strong Service was attentive and engaging the server had a boot on left foot from an injury but moved quickly and efficiently read more

After reading the reviews, Hubs and I decided to come here for brunch. Hubs got the Shakshuka, which is Mediterranean baked eggs, tomato sauce, peppers, onions, feta and grilled bread. Hubs liked it a lot and is starting to like feta cheese now. He had a lot of sauce left, so he ordered extra bread to sop up the rest. It was an extra $3. I got the Banana Bread French Toast, which also has vanilla custard and banana. This was pretty good. I've never had banana bread French toast before. It was our first time having a fruit French bread. Hubs said it was a little sweet but addictive. Hubs said that coffee was great, too. Service was quick and friendly. We were getting bored of places in the area and glad that we found this place. Will definitely return to try other items on the menu! read more

this is the best brunch spot in the area. From the food to the service you will be amazed. 10/10 read more

Sweet Buns - Steak & eggs , and breakfast bowl - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Englishtown, New Jersey

We went there today for breakfast and I cannot say enough about this place! The restaurant is beautiful, they had the nicest staff and the food is absolutely amazing. We got the banana bread and pop tarts to start and a mixture of breakfast and lunch foods. Everything was better than the thing before. I can't recommend this place enough! I just hope it doesn't get too busy where you can't get in! read more

Everything was soo good!! I loved the banana latte and the ricotta toast. Our server, Harley, was so attentive and sweet!! We're definitely coming back read more

Walked in and stood. By a door for 6 minutes with the waitress and the staff ignoring the people standing there . How about can I help you ? Are you looking to be seated.? Give me one second I'll be right with you.? I walked the hell out .. don't ignore the people who walk through the door . read more

Food was delicious. Service was friendly and more than efficient. A cute place we would definitely come back up. We even took some to go treats. read more

This review consists of two visits. The first visit, I entered and chose the front tables. They were noticeably recently used, with water-filled glasses still strewn about, but not to a point that it disrupted my eating experience. I ordered the Croque Madame, which I've always been curious about since reading about it. What immediately struck me was that, despite being sandwiched between two french toasts, it wasn't too sweet, as the meat and cheese between it balanced it out. The sunny side up egg on top was also a nice touch. Definitely an overall savory breakfast item. The wait time was around 10-15 minutes, give or take. Reasonable for the dish. Afterward, I decided to order a homemade poptart. I did not get the impression that the poptart was fresh, but rather premade and then reheated on demand. It was still good. My second visit, I wanted to try something else I spotted right next to the Croque Madame: the Shakshuka. I'm generally a huge fan of the tomato sauce and egg combo and thought that if the quality of the Croque Madame was anything to go by, this next one would be equally good if not better. Thankfully, I was not disappointed. I decided to take a seat deeper in the cafe, which I don't suggest if you're claustrophobic, as it's relatively packed compared to similar places. The Shakshuka took about 15-20 minutes to make. Once it was served, I was given two multigrain toasts to dip. The Shakshuka tasted like I imagined, with the feta adding sourness. I did not have dessert after this one. The price range for both visits was around $25-30, tips included. My only nitpick is that the cafe could use a bit more staff for cleaning. Since it's a brunch place that closes at 3 pm, it gets packed and messy quickly. You could circumvent that by ordering pickup or delivery, but I think the quality of the meal is diminished if not partaken in the restaurant. read more

We just ordered take out for the first time from Sweet Buns. We got the corned beef hash, green eggs and ham, Nutella pop tart, kids French toast, and kids pancake. The portions are plentiful and they even threw in some complimentary desserts for us to try. The eggs in the green and eggs and ham are very flavorful. The ham and the corned beef were both well made and the hollandaise didn't separate in transit which is impressive. Overall, we enjoyed everything and you can tell it's homemade and the prices are very fair. read more

Fantastic service. Owner hangs by the front of the restaurant and promptly takes food/drink orders while also making sure everyone is happy with what they've received. Food is outstanding, service is amazing, coffee is delicious. What else can you ask for. Thank you! read more

Planned a breakfast outing to some place new and Sweet Buns was the place! Newly opened, small, friendly staff who was very attentive. The front is cafe like with a small dining room in the back. We started with two cinnamon buns. We could have eaten 12. Soft, warm, not overly sweet and delicious! (We took 2 to go to enjoy at home!) We had two kids meals of pancakes and French toast, the boys enjoyed the butter/cinnamon deliciousness. I ordered the breakfast bowl which had two different types of fried, crispy potatoes, bacon, tomatoes, perfect avocado, cheese and the eggs of your choice. The hubs got a Benedict with fried chicken, hot honey, on fresh biscuits and a creamy sauce. It was also served with the amazing crispy potatoes. Add this to your breakfast bucket list! We will be back for sure!!! read more

Such delicious food. We love this neighborhood brunch spot. So many other things we wanted to try. Guarantee we will be back.

This adorable place has us coming back every weekend! The food is still fresh and delicious, they have a nice variety of coffee drinks (highly recommend the s'mores which comes with a torched marshmallow and the banana brown sugar latte which comes with a little sliver of banana bread- such a nice touch!) and the crumb cake, cinnamon rolls and pop tarts are heavenly. My husband loves the shakshuka and the corned beef hash and I continue to get the breakfast bowl over and over which include the most perfect breakfast potatoes. The service is always polite and attentive as well. Love it, keep it up!!! read more

A fantastic addition to the Manalapan breakfast scene. The corned beef hash was fantastic and an interesting take on this classic with large strips of delicious corned beef delicately draped over crispy hash brown patties and finished with Eggs over easy and a delectable mustard hollandaise sauce. The crumb cake was downright addictive. Portions were generous, prices reasonable and it arrived at my door within 15 minutes of ordering. Can't wait to try their other offerings. read more

Great food selection. Also very clean and friendly workers. Definitely would recommend to everyone.

Great little spot. Food was delicious and service was excellent. Very clean and plenty of parking. Nicely decorated too. I highly recommend

My daughter and I found this spot one Saturday and were pleasantly surprised with everything. The decor was really nice, the service was great and the food was excellent! read more

5 stars, no way!!! It's a cute/casual place, a little tightly packed. OK food and slow service. Creative menu, which gives you an impression that the quality was going to be better than your average breakfast/brunch place. It was not. Started off with a S'mores Latte. It had barely any flavor at all. We sent it back and they added a tiny bit more flavor, but still not enough. Then the BLT, which was supposed to be toasted, was not. Sent it back and this time it was toasted. The chocolate chip pancakes were good, the chocolate chips had a rich chocolate taste. I didn't think the sausage links were very good. For dessert we had the store-made POP tarts. We didn't like the S'more - kinda try, too much pastry. The Nutella Pop Tart was better. They were so accommodating regarding the mistakes, that I feel bad writing less than a great review. But.... read more

Food is delicious! Service perfect! Ambience very special! Sweet Buns is beautifully decorated. We love it here.

It's my first time at Sweet Bunz. The food and ambiance was wonderful. The staff was very accommodating. I will return.

The food and drinks don't disappoint. The cookie butter syrup is absolutely delicious and not too sweet. I got the salmon avocado toast and it was huge and they don't skimp out on the salmon or avocado. Our server Harley was such a sweetie and took great care of us the whole time. The decor is cute and everything seemed very clean and up to date. Definitely coming back! read more
