EXCELLENT BREAKFAST! While vacationing in the Catskills for Memorial Day, we stopped at Sweet Sue’s. The service was fantastic and the food was unique and delicious. The eatery had a small town feel and the food was artisan and unlike traditional diners. Definitely worth stopping.

After years of eating at Phoenicia Diner, we decided to try a new brunch spot and I’m SO glad we found Sweet Sue’s! I just had the best pancakes. We got the flavorful monkey pancake and the smoked brisket hash. Both were delicious, hot, and made with fresh ingredients. Under new management, the atmosphere, service and food were spot on! We will definitely be back.

Tried the cold brew, which was good and a fine strength. The waffle was good as well. Service was good, and food was a bit slow coming out of the kitchen, but not a biggie. Atmosphere was loud, especially since the place was nearly empty. I’ll attribute it to the hard surfaces.

This place is a hidden gem, we drive nearly 2 hours to check it out. Made a day trip of it and this was a wonderful way to start the morning. They have the best staff, Kathy was our server but all were terrific. Hats off to the kitchen staff, literally the best Huevos Rancheros I’ve ever had. The homemade pickled jalapeños, the sauce, the beans and cojita cheese…Oh my! Plus the latkes with house made smoked salmon was incredible too. The waffles, pancakes were all amazing and we can’t wait to go again. Thank you all for a wonderful experience.

Sweet Sue’s is phenomenal! Everything we’ve eaten here has been incredible (strawberry monkey pancakes, chocolate pancakes, chili/labneh eggs, and mushroom sandwich). They also have excellent coffee. Dining here is a delightful experience. We sat outside both times and they were kind and welcoming of our dog and brought him cold, fresh, water. Definitely worth checking out!

My daughter is obsessed with their pancakes, but I must say, the Huevos Rancheros were so good I dreamt about them that night. They’re perfect, literally perfect!

Our first time to Sweet Sue’s and it did not disappoint. This latest culinary edition to Phoenicia is fantastic! A new/old establishment beloved by many in the past; the current owner has done everything right. We went for the classic, and I hear, famous pancakes which were perfectly fluffy without being dry, clearly freshly made and so big I couldn’t finish. Sides of bacon and chicken sausage added to the yum, and a wicked, muddled ginger + lemon mocktail completed the meal. We will definitely be back!

I came in for breakfast on a beautiful sunny Sunday morning. I ordered a cappuccino that was too strong for me but I added milk to it and it got better.

Visiting the area for a wedding, we came to Sweet Sue’s based on the reviews. We were not let down at all. The service was excellent, Kathy was so friendly and personable. I had ordered the Chicken and Waffles and hands down the chicken was some of the best I had ever had. I also ordered a side of bacon. It was absolutely amazing, the chef smokes it himself. My partner had pancakes with a side of bacon as well. He loved it.

Pleasant surprise addition to Phoenicia. Don’t know why I missed it but luckily found this cute cafe on the main retail strip in town. The coffee is locally roasted and worth the Java jolt. The veggie omelette and summer peach cobb salad was amazing. And pastries are a must. This will be my go to stop every time I am in the area.
