    Farm Stand Breakfast Tacos  Chorizo,cheese,avocado,pico de gallo,green onions and a side of black beans.
    Ryan B.

    When I'm anywhere and there's a First Watch I know it's going to be a good breakfast. When we stayed outside of Hershey we decided to stop at the Hershey restaurant. Located in downtown Hershey blocks away from the amusement park. We parked on the street on a Friday morning. The restaurant was busy but not packed. I usually order the breakfast tacos which are corn tortillas with avocado,chorizo,cheese and pico de gallo. With a side of black beans. Sometimes the corn tortillas are soggy but not this time! Crunchy and held together well for the stuff goodness that they had to hold. Absolutely delicious! My wife had the avocado toast with a side of scrambled eggs and love it as well. They had honey corn bread minis so we wanted to try them as well with a jam spread and butter. They were really good. They don't take your bill when you're ready to check out. It's a QR Code on the receipt or you need to take it up to the register. All in all, we really enjoyed this place. If you're in the area and want some fresh foods, they'll have it.

    A great breakfast spot with plenty of delicious options! I started with the Morning Meditation drink, which was refreshing and a healthy way to kick off the meal. I ordered the avocado toast topped with eggs, along with a side of the lemon ricotta pancakes. Everything was absolutely delicious, the flavors were fresh, and the pancakes were my favorite. This was my first visit, but it definitely won't be my last

    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

    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.

It was so charming and inviting that, honestly, I initially walked in just to look around without any intention of buying anything. :) Buttttt, after seeing everything in the display case, my family and I decided we had to come back later and grab some food to take back to our hotel so we wouldn't be stuck eating another McDonald's breakfast. Boy, am I glad we did! We picked up two quiche slices (different/they seem to vary by day), a pastry of some sort, and the baked oatmeal, and everything was delicious. The portions were huge, the prices were very reasonable, and everything tasted homemade, of course. I especially recommend the quiche - whichever one looks best to you. I was also pleasantly surprised that it came with a side of fresh fruit (that was actually good) such a nice addition to the meal. :) We were so happy to find a place in Hummelstown where we could enjoy delicious homemade food while also supporting a local business during our stay. If you're visiting the area and staying nearby, I'd definitely recommend stopping in rather than defaulting to the usual chain breakfast spots. And if you actually live in the area or have some time to spare, even better, grab a seat inside or outside, slow down, and enjoy the atmosphere. ! Such a charming little find!

    Brisket Burnt End Scramble -- 9/10…read more This was a seriously loaded breakfast. The plate had tender, smoky brisket burnt ends mixed with scrambled eggs, melted cheddar, BBQ sauce and crispy onions, all over a generous portion of hash browns, with toast on the side. The combination of the smoky brisket, creamy eggs, melted cheese and crunchy fried onions gave every bite something different. The burnt ends were definitely the star of the plate, and the portion was large enough that you won't leave hungry. The Pumpkin Spice Latte was a great match for the breakfast. It had espresso, pumpkin spice and milk, topped with pumpkin cold foam and whipped cream. The cold foam really made this one stand out. Instead of being just another overly sweet pumpkin drink, you get that creamy pumpkin flavor

    We came to The Hershey Pantry because of all the great reviews. We put our name in for a table at…read more10:48 a.m. and were told the wait would be approximately 30 minutes. Unfortunately, we weren't seated until 11:32, making the actual wait closer to 45 minutes. Our server was friendly, and since we'd had plenty of time to look over the menu while waiting, we were able to order right away. Unfortunately, it then took another 40 minutes for our food to arrive. We're not sure where the delay occurred--whether it was the kitchen, staffing, or something else--but between waiting for a table and then waiting for our food, the entire process felt excessively long. The good news is that the food itself was really good. My husband ordered the burnt ends egg dish, and I had the praline pancakes, which were excellent. We also ordered sausage as a side, and that was great as well. We had no complaints about the quality of the food. Would we come back? Maybe. If we did, we would probably try to arrive before 8 a.m. or after the main breakfast rush. The restaurant is fairly small, and based on our experience, it seemed to struggle with getting guests seated and served efficiently during a busy period. Plenty of busy breakfast restaurants and diners manage to turn tables and get food out quickly, so I think The Hershey Pantry could really benefit from looking at its service and kitchen workflow during peak hours. The food is good enough to warrant another visit, but waiting nearly 45 minutes for a table followed by another 40 minutes for food makes it difficult to recommend visiting during their busiest times.
