    Chikichanga
    Rich C.

    Cute place with coffee and breakfast/lunch - has good Mexican style food - the chikichanga has a very unique but good taste

    Nicole P.

    I met up with a friend for breakfast at First Watch and we both enjoyed it! I really liked the goat cheese omelet which was a huge portion with the English muffin and potatoes. My friend enjoyed the eggs Benedict and we shared the lemon blueberry pancakes. We wished the pancakes were more lemony; they were good pancakes but pretty plain. Service was great and they didn't mind that we sat there for a while to chat!

    Coming back around for a second review. My husband and I frequent this place quite often. This is the "brunch spot" when pals sleep over or when we are having a lazy Sunday. Today especially was a truly kind and accommodating experience. We were a group of 8 and we were told a 30 minute wait. It ended up being more of 50 minutes. We didn't say anything about the wait, but the manager was very apologetic and let us get 3 sharing appetizers since we waited longer than what we were told. Totally unheard of these days with this type of service. The manager came around a few times to check in with us and our waiter was also super kind. The food is still just average, but it hits the spot and the service is so warm and kind. Gotta love First Watch.

    Shane N.

    The food was pretty good but at the same time very eh. The bacon had a great taste to it but it wasn't even the slightest bit crispy so that was disappointing. The pancakes I got were good and they gave me more than enough syrup which was great. The service was good too, the staff is friendly so no complaints there. And the atmosphere was kind of like a an upscale diner.

    Been to First Watch in other states so I was excited to bring my husband here. I was disappointed as the first two things I asked for they said they were out of and then after asking for the second item the waitress told us they were transitioning from their summer to fall menu. They would be better off letting people know they were out of things upon sitting down and pulling their advertisements off the tables that are promoting their summer items they no longer have. Food was good and fresh. However, I recommend getting the waffle over the pancakes. Inside promotes a farm to table ambiance.

    Chili Chorizo
    Grace Nicole C.

    Went on a Sunday morning and we were seated right away, the place is spacious even for the big crowds they get. I got their chili chorizo omelette, there wasn't a lot of chorizo in it and it wasn't spicy - the flavor was nice and the caramelized onions were tasty even as a non-fan of onions. Their coffee was pretty average diner quality. The service was great, our waitress was very attentive and kept checking in on us to make sure we were okay. Overall an okay place.

    I really enjoy First Watch! The ambiance is awesome and the servers are so friendly. The food is also top notch. I've never ordered anything I didn't enjoy there. They have so many coffee drinks, fresh juices, and healthy smoothies. Lots of healthy food options! The donut holes are a classic go-to of ours. I'm excited for the summer so I can bring my pup and sit on their patio!

    Brunch

    Great service, it was busy when we got in. Had to wait 30 mins for a table (which they mentioned ahead of time). We were seated, and waited on immediately. The food came out really quick as well.

    This place was so good. I was in the area with my family and stopped here for breakfast. I'm very glad we ended up here. I ordered the breakfast bowl with hash browns, eggs and avocado. It was yummy and was a large portion that I couldn't finish. I also had the coffee. This was the first place I've ever been where they leave a pot of fresh, hot coffee on your table. I loved this! If I ended up back in this area, I'd definitely stop back in. I highly recommend FW!

    Sunny Seoul Hash
    Kristin F.

    Love this place for brunch! Been here three times so far and definitely love the atmosphere and the food! Loved the Sunny Seoul Hash, a breakfast special! One other time, I had their eggs Benedict and that was so good as well! Was not a fan of the omelets though. Service can be slow, seems like they are understaffed sometimes or not expecting crowds on holidays. When I visited last week on Veterans day/teacher's convention, I think they weren't ready for the crowd of families since kids didn't have school and parents were probably off. Many tables weren't cleaned off yet and there was a line. I'd come back here! Like a change from the traditional diners.

    Steph S.

    I'd give this place 3.5 stars. Seems like a good reliable spot. Servers and hosts were friendly on a busy Saturday. We were a large party and only really waited 15-20 minutes for a table. Menu is smaller and more healthier than like a diner. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food. I found my dish to be average- nothing super special about it. Clean inside and newer. Some outdoor seating as well. I'd probably try a new place before coming back but it got the job done for our group after an event.

    Pancakes
    Yasser H.

    While service was Ok on a crowded Saturday afternoon, the food was on point. Nothing spectacular about ambiance. Just a whole bunch of chatter. No music either. Pancakes. 5/5. Nice fluffy pancakes. I guess one can't go wrong with making pancakes. Served with maple sauce. I asked for plain ones. Nothing decorated or topped. Fish tacos 4.6/5 very well presented. Flavorful and vibrant. Served with black beans on the side. We also had couple of their signature smoothies/mocktails orange n strawberry and lemonade which were pretty good. They could improve on their service standards.

Ethan and The Bean operates as a 501(c)3 non-profit with a noble mission of providing meaningful employment opportunities for folks with autism or intellectual disabilities that give its employees hands-on training, mentoring, and skills development to build their self-confidence and give them a sense of purpose. The Morristown location, just across Speedwell Avenue from the Hyatt Grand Regency, is open and airy with plenty of seating, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and free WiFi for those who need to get some work done or seek a temporary distraction from those around them. On my most recent visit to ETB, I had a pistachio latte - made with coconut milk and pistachio syrup and served in a cup rimmed with pistachio cream - which was fantastic! The taste and quality of the beverages - including a variety of organic coffees and tea options ranging from mundane drip coffees to more complex, perfectly executed creations of -cinos and lattes that are available with dairy milk or non-dairy milk alternatives - and the ambiance do come at a price, which are slightly higher than your usual convenience store coffee but in line with the other coffee specialty shops on South Street - but it's worth it to me (as it should be to you) due to the quality of the product and its noble mission. PRO TIP #1: ETB doesn't have a private parking lot, but there is plenty of on-street parking off Speedwell Avenue and Cattano Avenue. Bring change or use the ParkMobile app for the meters ($1 per hour) Monday through Saturday from 8am til 6PM; all street meters are free Monday through Saturday after 6pm and all day on Sunday. If you can't find a spot on the street, the Morristown Parking Authority's Dalton Garage (@ 25 Cattano Avenue) are a short walk to ETB.

When I stopped in during a weekday it was incredibly quiet too, which I loved. The barista was super friendly and engaging and it was nice to be greeted with such a warm smile. They still have pumpkin lattes (but only for a bit longer, ugh) so this was a major treat. I also tried a heated cinnamon toast crunch cookie and it was so ooey gooey and delicious. Though this is a Starbucks because it's a cafe the menu feels larger than a typical Starbucks. They have savory items like soups, flatbreads and mac and cheese as well as a big dessert case with lots of cakes and cheesecakes. There aren't many cafes / coffee shops on this side of town, so it's nice to remember that I have this option inside the local Barnes and Noble. I'd happily return to leaf through some books or get work done while enjoying a coffee and snack.
