    Banana Brittle French Toast
    Bennie L.

    Nice big, clean, comfortable room with tables and booths. Staff so friendly! The menu was so extensive that I didn't even read it all. I picked a frittata that was outstanding. My husband had a French toast dish that was great as well. Lots of hot delicious coffee always on the table.

    First watch is nice go-to brunch spot with the usual breakfast selection. What sets them apart from the standard brunch restaurants are the seasonal menu selections which include unique options such as the Tres Leches French Toast and the Lemon Blueberry Corn Bread. We always appreciate the complimentary coffee and the nice customer service. Interior is cozy and has a nice rustic aesthetic with a modern twist to it. This is a good spot to come and catch up with friends and family while enjoying stable breakfast options.

    Biscuit and Turkey Sausage Gravy

    Really Delicious Gourmet and FAST! Breakfast served so many ways and creative twists on eggs, pancakes and the absolute best home fries we've ever eaten. Service was quick and restaurant was quiet and clean with open feel and comfortable seating.

    Double Bacon Parmesan Hash
    Heather C.

    Enjoyed the Double Bacon Parmesan Hash. Meal was $14.49 and very good. The bacon, egg, and Parmesan sauce put a different spin on the dish. Waitress was very attentive. It was not as crowded on Monday as it during the weekend. So I did not have to wait long to be seated. Atmosphere was pleasant.

    Blueberry pancake
    Alexis M.

    The server we had was a ray of sunshine. She was so upbeat and quick on her toes. It was a busy morning and she still was attentive with us. The food was good no complaints and bathrooms were kept clean! :)

    Million Dollar Potatoes / BLT Benedict

    Came back to First Watch and had a really good experience. The Barbacoa was flavorful and filling. The only complaint is that the chips are still placed on the bottom, which makes them soggy. Would have preferred them on the side. I also wish the portion was a bit larger. I also got the gluten-free Market Veggie sandwich, and it was great. The bread was soft (which is rare for gluten-free), and I really appreciate how accommodating they are with allergies. Service was excellent and our server was attentive and everything came out quickly. Definitely a spot I'd come back to again.

    Omelet
    Mike A.

    We're always lucky that wherever we seem to go, a First Watch is not too far behind! Today we had lunch at the First Watch in Hershey, PA - and enjoyed just as much as the other locations! We got a variety of meals including omelets, pancakes, and sandwiches - and as always the service was quick and friendly, and the portions were large and tasty enough to fill us up! Another great meal at a First Watch!

    Eggs Benedict - I always judge an eatery based on how good their Eggs Benedict are and we were not disappointed!

    Brunch date with my husband! The food and coffee were delicious. Friendly service. And the place was so cute and clean.

    Maple Bacon Croissant Sandwich
    Pat S.

    Downtown Hershey , easy parking either on street or parking behind. Fast service. Food was very good. The maple bacon croissant needs to come with wet wipes. But so good.

    Dirty utensils
    Galina O.

    Diners come here, dazzled by beautifully plated meals, never noticing the dirty dining ware that accompanies them. Unfortunately, I did. My fork was visibly grimy, with streaks and residue that made me question the hygiene behind the scenes. If this is what's served to customers, what's happening in the kitchen? The food industry needs to change. Cleanliness should never be an afterthought. A restaurant can serve the most exquisite dishes, but if it can't provide clean utensils, it has already failed.

    Right on Chocolate Avenue inside the Hershey Experience pavilion, this cafe is clean, attractive,…read moreand offers a variety of breakfast and lunch options that don't feel like afterthoughts to the gourmet beverages. I met an old friend to catch up on our most recent adventures. It was a Sunday morning. Tables turned over several times in the three hours we chatted. The place was always busy. The staff kept the stations clear and clean between guests, and there seemed to be great coordination in the counter and coffee staff. We were left to ourselves, as this is a place where you order and pick up in two locations. There is no table service except to deliver food. While the inside has limited seating, the patio offers extra sunshine spots when the weather cooperates. My friend enjoyed her coffee. I found the food adequate for the price. This is Hershey's prime real estate strip, so paying more for basic fare is expected, but not impressive. This was made up for by the hustle in the staff's attention to cleanliness and processing orders. Lisa's feels like a caffeine refueling station more than anything else. It sits in the middle of several dining options, all within a quick walk. It is convenient for a quick recharge during your visit to the Hershey Experience but not a spot I would plan an event or even a hearty meal. Still, people commented that they come for the beverages even if there is no drive-through option. Parking is convenient behind Chocolate Avenue.

The café has a warm, inviting atmosphere with beautiful local artwork that creates a relaxing dining experience. The breakfast sandwich was fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced. The frittata was hearty, satisfying, and generously portioned. While it was just a little heavier on the pepper than I personally prefer, it was still very enjoyable. The highlight of our visit was the gluten-free, vegan strawberry matcha cinnamon roll. It was incredibly moist, delicious, and packed with flavor--one of the best gluten-free pastries we've had. It's refreshing to find a café that offers healthy options without sacrificing taste. If you're traveling through central Pennsylvania or simply live in the area, this is a wonderful alternative to the chain restaurants that dominate the highways. Whether you're looking for gluten-free, vegan, or just fresh, wholesome food, Down to Earth Café delivers. We highly recommend this café and will definitely make it a stop on future trips through the area.

    I recently visited Chocolate Avenue Grill for a business meeting on a Wednesday evening and was…read moresurprised by how busy it was. Even on a weeknight, the restaurant was adequately packed, so I would strongly recommend making a reservation if you're planning to dine here. A few things to know before you go: Popular restaurant that can be quite busy, even during the work week. Reservations are a good idea, especially during dinner hours. There is a small parking lot surrounding the restaurant, as well as street parking. Both were full when I arrived. There is a free parking garage across the street behind the storefronts, which ended up being the easiest parking option. For drinks, I ordered the Peach Sangria, and it was excellent. Refreshing, flavorful, and not overly sweet, it paired nicely with dinner and was one of the highlights of the meal. For my entrée, I ordered the: Chicken Marsala Sautéed chicken breast with mushrooms in a marsala wine sauce served over house-made linguini or mashed potatoes & asparagus. Unfortunately, this dish didn't quite meet my expectations. The Marsala sauce itself was decent, but by the time the meal arrived, the linguini was somewhat cold. As a result, the noodles had begun to harden and stick together, which affected the overall experience. Considering the price point, I didn't feel the dish offered good value, and it's not something I would order again. That said, the restaurant's popularity, lively atmosphere, and excellent sangria make me interested in returning. I'd be curious to try some of the other menu offerings on a future visit, as there were several dishes that looked appealing. Overall, while my entrée was disappointing, the atmosphere and drink selection were enough that I'd be willing to give Chocolate Avenue Grill another chance.
