Sweet Pea's Cafe is busy and buzzing on the weekends! There will likely be a wait to sit, but that just goes to show the success of this restaurant. My suggestion is to order your coffee at the register to-go while you're waiting to be seated. It makes the time fly by! The cafe is cozy and welcoming. The decor is warm and celebrates coffee, a true highlight of the restaurant. Their pastries look inviting and truly decadent. The ladies behind the register and server at our table are all so pleasant and helpful. Our server, Mariana, was very knowledgeable of the menu and suggested options to us for specific food allergies. Mariana is kind, helpful, and really makes you feel taken care of. Their coffee beans have a perfect acidity and chocolatey note, making the coffee taste flavorful, rich, and smooth. Both coffee and espresso drinks are served to perfection. Their hot drip coffee is very smooth and may be one of the best coffees I've had. I also love the Maple Cinnamon Latte with almond milk. It is complex in flavor and perfectly sweetened to my liking. Sweet Pea's is popular for their pão de queijo, a Brazilian cheese bread, which is gluten free. It is the BEST pão de queijo I've tried. It's perfectly salty, buttery, and fluffy. Just wow. They have many options for sandwich fillings with this bread, both savory and sweet. The Old Farmer's Breakfast is a hearty dish. The scrambled eggs are fluffy and seasoned well. The bacon is crispy and makes the dish have the perfect balance of savory and sweet. The gluten free pancakes are flavorful but slightly drier than an average pancake, so do dunk them in a little maple syrup to give them that just-right texture. If you are gluten free, it is worthy to note that cross-contamination is possible from their pancake grill. The dish is so filling and recommended! I would absolutely come back to try more dishes and coffee creations. read more

I really enjoy the food here, especially as a gluten-free person. The Brazilian bread is delicious, as are their salads. Agree that it is a chaotic experience for the customer as it's hard to get a table, and there's no place to stand while you're waiting. Having a hostess would be super helpful. The staff is young and friendly. read more

Great food! Amazing service and ambiance! Carnitas are to die for and so is the French toast!

Employees do not know their menu whatsoever. The first thing I said before ordering was how severe my gluten allergy is because I have celiac disease. She told me they have gluten free bread so I ordered avocado toast. It wasn't until I was finished eating the first piece till i started to feel unwell. Long behold She gave me exactly what I am severely allergic to. What will be sending me into the hospital tonight or this week. This is a very poorly managed establishment. I do not recommend it whatsoever, espically to those with allergies. read more

Love this place, the people-shout out Cindy, the other women guys making drinks & all involved that we don't even see-the espresso, little gluten free sandwiches & banana muffins...community place, I always meet people, sit with strangers, enjoy my life here, I live in Westport but always stop when passing & go to Todd's to walk after read more

buenos días!! . . . Only because that's when I visited Sweet Pea Cafe; again- except I didn't write or take pics ! This seemingly little cozy cafe is actually pretty big and spacious - as are their pastries!! Omg!!! I have had their coffee- cold, Fresh and bold!! !! Super rich in flavor!! Defínately recommend !! And one to add to my caff-ddiction!! cafecito anyone?? So, In efforts make this a " use the ladies room" ONLY visit, I put my blinders on - and proceeded to the back part of the cafe; my walk to the front exit was not as successful! !! and then, there it was ... in the midst of my failure - was a creamy cloud that read "cinnamon bun" !! - The only detail that made this treat sweeter was the girl who served me- who reassured me of my great choice and suggested some equally delicious alternatives - I must have looked like I needed convincing / I assure you I didn't but I appreciate her help! I took my bun to go- and didn't open it until I arrived in a peaceful oasis known as Turtle Bay- !! This heap of sweetness weight a bit - and it surprised me - but when I Took a bite - my thoughts were compensated. This has to be the BEST. Cinnamon bun- ever- sorry CINNABON -. The right amount of crunch in the sides, perfectly complimented by cinnamons woodsiness, fluffiness on the inside - and then the cream!! - heavenly!! Yes, I scraped the remaining from the side and bottom of the to go box! GUILTY!! !! So- yes- this goes on my list of - repeats!! I have tried the chocolate and almond chocolate - also- to die for !! - I assure you anything you have here - will win you over- and over again!! When I'm town/ please try- and sorry for not uploading pictures of my bun session- my hands were busy!! Lol buen provecho!! read more

I hardly every dollar this because I always give benefit if doubt. However, this place exceeded all rudeness than anyone can expect from a restaurant. We dealt with two ladies that work there and they both had attitude. Once of them flat out lectured us on how we should not order from the front cashier and should order from a server. In a super rude way. Though we were very nice to her. When we asked for plates and forks to eat our meal (cause they never gave us ones) she just asked away and came back with only plates and no forks. Dropped both plates infront of me and walked away. Food is ok. But the rudeness of the ladies that is enough reason for me never to come back. read more

This place is fun! So many interesting breakfast and lunch items but also so many great classics. Very well balanced salads, but next time I would try breakfast because it looked so good. I loved the cafe au lait. The service was good for us, although it was a little confusing what to do when you walk in if you've never been there before. read more

Amazing food, but the service is abysmal. I would recommend confirming your order actually went through, as the staff is extremely disorganized, and dismissive (for example, I just asked if my order was ready after waiting 45 minutes, and the waiter just walked away and said he only works outside). I would only recommend if you have a lot of patience and are not in a rush. read more

I love the is place! Food is amazing, coffee is delicious. Always really busy but worth the wait. Will always come back every time I'm visiting home! read more

Such a cute neighborhood staple! The Pao de Queijos Are so tasty! The other baked goods are also delicious! I would recommend sitting down one day and enjoying some of the breakfast sandwiches! Alternatively the yogurt is also yummy! read more

Solid bakery-centric breakfast or lunch place. Friendly service and good food. It was a little chaotic in terms of getting us seated (in fairness, we arrived at prime-time on a Sunday so I'll give em a pass here). Best bet is stick with the baked stuff, cinnamon rolls, croissants, etc. The french toast was excellent. Happy to return next time we're in town! read more

Three words.. Pao De Queche (spelling) - Incredible assortment of Brazilian Cheesy Bread sandwiches. Also gluten free. Big fan. Hidden gem in OG read more

I love small businesses, but this had to be shared due to the way they treat their customers. The coffee was served in a dirty and sticky mug followed by pancakes which came out after a long 45 minute wait and had cold, raw batter inside. Insult to injury our server, Luisa was rude about it and gave us attitude as if it were our fault. We will not be back -- and not because of the pricey, inedible pancakes but because of the way they treat their customers. Had she been kind, this review would not be here. read more

After a 2-day, romantic getaway, this little Brazilian bakery cafe is the perfect stop on the way home. You walk in and are washed away with all the chocolate And baked deliciousness. Pao de Queijo are the things to get here. They are slider-sized cheese rolls, baked crispy on the outside with the softest, tastiest dough in the middle. And as good as the bread sounds, these baristas of breakfast make them even more spectacular by putting things inside like eggs, bacon, salmon, avocado, pastrami pickles and cheese, you name it. And for a reasonable price, you get to sample One, two, three or more of these tasty mini sandwich treats. my favorite lady had a boring croissant sandwich, OK it was fabulous in its own right, but I still think she missed out on the choice here. read more

Perfect spot for Breakfast. Every breakfast option I have ordered was delicious. I keep suggesting to friends and everyone loves it. I just wish they had mimosas as well :) read more

A nice spot in town, fun for after school or weekend brunch. Lots of tables, and great assortment of pastries. A weekend go-to spot for the fresh croissants and pain au chocolat! Friendly staff, efficient too. read more

My husband and I came in for a cup of coffee last weekend but after one look at their pastries and the food on the tables, we decided to stay for brunch. the omelette and pancakes were very good but will have to come back soon to try the pastries. There were just too many amazing looking options to choose from, so we stuck to the brunch dishes. read more

I dream about the chicken avocado sandwich and I may or may not have ordered it before 9 am the other day (I'm pregnant). My husband likes the Brazilian cheese bread called Pao de queijo because it's gluten free and he can have it with many different sandwiches. It's so hard to get in on the weekends but during the week it's great. read more

Love this place! The pao de queijo is so good. I usually get two savory and one sweet. My favorites are the Italian and ham and cheese (used to be on the menu now a custom order). They have Indoor and outdoors seating or you can order online to go. My only complaint is that it often takes a very long time, but it's always worth the wait! read more

A school errand brought me to Old Greenwich (off 95) and wanted to have a chocolate pick-me-up, before heading to my destination. Sweet Pea's country-style interior also has an eye-catching floor style, offsetting their wood design. They specialize in cakes, bite size morsels, pastry sweets and beyond. I was sold immediately by Jess, who mentioned that Sweet Pea's, melt chocolate chips to make their Hot Chocolate. Boy...I was in! Even at 7 am, Sweet Peas had a crowd and my girl Jess, seemed to be holding down the fort- all right. Although my Hot Chocolate was very subtle in taste, their baked goods are worth a visit. read more

I ordered an açaí bowl without chocolate today since my stomach is sensitive to it. After a long wait my order ONLY had chocolate. I requested a change and when I got my order the container was slightly open so some of the acai fell out and created a mess. Once I got around to eat it, the acai was watery and to my surprise there were still pieces of chocolate! Also the chai 98% milk and 2% chai and they don't have to go spoons. read more

Well. I'm giving this review only on there brownies. Besides an ice coffee which was OK was all I bought that day. Eating one of there brownies is purity much the same as starting to shovel down with a soup spoon white granulated sugar straight from the bag. My dear lord. We could not finish. We through it out. For real. Why ohhhhh why does it has to be sooooo soooo intolerance sweet ??? Dear Baker. Why not try next time to put just 1/4 of the amount of sugar when you bake brownies again ?! Try it. Please. You shop looks and smells wonderful. But. What's with all this sugar. You are killing your Customers. Hugs .... read more

Lovely, though a very busy place! The service was very fast and the food was delicious. Highly recommend!

We tried this spot 3 times. First time I went with my girlfriends and the food was just normal, waiter not so focused and not friendly. My husband went with his friend and he was in love with this place. Then We decided to go back together this morning. We ordered the Omelet from the regular menu and the Avo Bene from the Brunch menu. Everything was delicious and our cute waitress was so friendly and gave great recommendations. I wish we knew her name! Yes it's a little over priced. read more

Outstanding!!! We hosted a brunch at our home and Sweet Pea's Cafe catered the event and delivered the food to our home. The food was absolutely delicious and the Sweet Pea's staff were all incredibly helpful and nice!!! The manager and team members helped us with creating an excellent menu of selections a few days in advance which were delivered in "family style" party trays for easy serving. Some of the excellent choices included the following: Savory & Sweets, Classic Avocado Toast, French Toast, Triple Stack Pancakes (Blueberry & Chocolate Chip), Ham, Egg & Cheese Croissants, and a delicious Burrata Salad. We absolutely recommend Sweet Pea's to anyone looking to entertain at their home and create a memorable event for all. We have also eaten at the restaurant itself on several occasions and were always extremely happy with the food and service. Enjoy!!! read more

Had breakfast there two days in a row. Definitely had a bigger weekend crowd, but was able to get a table for two pretty quickly. Coffee was wonderful, very robust and good both hot and iced. The little pao de queso sandwiches are phenomenal and the fact that they have many kinds and that you can get a combo of different ones, savory and sweet, is a great idea because you can try different things. The bacon egg and cheese was my favorite. If I am in the area again, I'll definitely come back. read more

If I were writing just on vibe, this place would definitely be worthy of another star. It was a great little restaurant on an old road. There were some cute tables outside and free WiFi posted on the wall. When we arrived we went to the counter to find out how things worked. The ladies behind the counter placing pastries was really sweet and the pastries were pastries. We then realized there was table service so we grabbed a seat and ordered with the waitress. I was impressed by the coffee, I had a really great latte. Sadly the food was just "A-OK". We got the ham cheese and egg croissant which was more than A-OK, it was delicious. We also ordered the "new unique" because I wanted to try this special bread that they advertise. Unfortunately the bread was a little heavy for me. The meal just came with a poached egg with the bacon and asparagus on the side. It was a little underwhelming. Both dishes also came with lots of salad which was sadly a little bland on the flavor. I spent most of my meal stealing bites of my friends croissant and trying to move the mound of salad around. I think my dish would have maybe been better to be stacked like a sandwich. The service wasn't anything to write home about. Unfortunately our waitress wasn't super attentive and we had to go inside for the check. This place could be 4 stars if we were blown away by service and both of us ordered the ham croissant, but the average service and okay food leads me to 3 stars. read more

Solid, but definitely overpriced (Gotta love Greenwich). The food was great, however, though I'm not a coffee guy, my friends said it was sub-par. Definitely an alright place for some brunch, but definitely not the best. read more

I'll keep this short and sweet- Pros- Great location and option for dining in Old Greenwich. Very nice employees and quick service. Iced coffee was just yummy. I ordered the Venice Salad. It was so delicious!! Fresh ingredients, croutons could have been a bit more "homemade" tasting. Ie., a bit more buttery. Love the outdoor seating, although limited. Music was fun as well. Cons- Too loud (due to height of ceiling) too many kids as in, babies crying, kids screaming. This is a great place to hit the WiFi and work and eat- if you're looking for a quite lunch you could always sit outside. read more
