    Dulce Plantain Pudding Latte Berry Cloud Fizz
    Carina L.

    Pros: this time around the wait time was shorter than anticipated for a Sunday brunch and we were asked whether we wanted to sit inside or outside which was a bonus. Music selection was great. Cons: my food was lukewarm. I had the plantain dulce pudding latte drink and it was lacking for such a strong title. I prefer my lattes to still taste like lattes and less like a decorative drink but also the sweet plantain on top as a garnish was heavier than anticipated. I've been here before and my selections were on point but this time around I should've stuck with the chick scoop/waffles and cappuccino. If you're in the area I would still recommend making a stop but as a heads up they don't take reservations.

    One of many times eating here and I can say that the food and drinks are consistently amazing. Metuchen location is always busy but we were able to get seated pretty quickly. It did take a bit for the waitress to come back to get our order and also for us to pay, but it was brunch and very busy the day we went. I do wish the empanadas we could order them individually like before. Although they are all delicious I do favor the beef and the cheese more than the chicken. Will be back for another brunch.

    We recently visited this great breakfast spot again. I should have reposted right after we were there. I had the fiesta scramble bowl. A Mexican inspired dish that some places called a skillet. A very flavorful and filling dish. My wife had the Panquestito Stack. Pancakes with some south of the border inspiration. Definitely worth returning to!

    This place takes good vibes, freshness and good food to a new level. Enjoyed all dishes ordered! We took advantage of the happy hour brunch (8am-10am) on a Thursday, but went off the happy hour menu just to try the birria omelet. It was so worth it! The birria omelet was well seasoned. Meat was soft and delicious. The churro waffle was so fluffy and not too sweet. Perfect balance. Farmer's platter was good. My only note is they didn't add any butter to my toast, something I usually expect when I order breakfast plates. But since they charged me extra for ordering some garlic mayonnaise, I assumed they'd charge me if I asked for butter. Staff was attentive and kind, upsold us to the max. Which was a good and bad thing. The coffee we ordered, our server upsold us on flavored syrups and cold foam but did not disclose it'd be extra. Didn't complain since the coffee was delicious, but just keep that in mind if you try this place!

    I've been meaning to patronize this place for a while now, but it's always so packed! Finally got the opportunity on my birthday to celebrate with mom and we had a most enjoyable time. The French toast flight was rich and flavorful and the coffee was as well. Highly recommended 10/10

    Always love Hatch for their cute floral ambiance and brunch food! The Hatchshuka was flavorful but I would have appreciated more of the naan since there was way more tomato sauce than bread. Service was great as always- the staff are always so nice

    Hatch gets pretty crowded on the weekends and there can be a very long wait depending on the time you go. There is a lot of metered parking spots around the area. When we went, it was the last day of winter drink specials so not much was left to choose from though they do have bottomless hot coffee for a decent price and even offered to put fresh coffee in a to go cup as we were leaving! The food hit the spot. There are a lot of vegetarian options as well which is exciting. It is definitely on the pricier side for the portions though service was excellent.

    My first time at this place! Our server Mericis was amazing and super funny! She also helped my friend decide on what to order and my friend ended up loving it! The food is really good and the matcha was amazing as well! Really cute brunch spot , would definitely come back!

    It's a cool, modern spot that I've enjoyed enough to visit twice. Both times, the vibe was relaxed and stylish, and it never felt overcrowded, which I really appreciated. It's a great place to actually sit, talk, and enjoy your food without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. The staff were friendly and attentive, checking in just the right amount and making the experience pleasant overall. The food and drinks were well prepared, nicely presented, and flavorful. Everything felt thoughtfully done, though I do think it's on the pricier side for what you get, which is why I'm giving it four stars instead of five. Overall, this place is a solid choice for brunch, coffee, or a casual meal if you're looking for a trendy spot with good service and a calm atmosphere. I'd definitely go back.

    Finally visited the new location and it was just as cute as the former and definitely bigger! I wish they made it more spacious because you don't have room to sit without being bumped. The decor was just as cute though! They have the cutest photo op swing and it's still very barn-y and homey. Just like the other location there's still no reservations so we had to put our name down and wait like 15 min. Not too bad. We were seated and our waiter was nice but they were packed so service was slow. All servers were just running around with no space. It's sad they filled it up to get more heads in and didn't think of the comfort aspect. For our drinks, I believe they were both seasonal drinks (unless mine is the fixer upper). I'm usually not a cafe drink person but the hibiscus tea sounded so good and I loved it! It was perfectly bitter and sweet and refreshing. My gf had a seasonal latte and liked that too. They do drinks WELL. As for the food I think the pancakes were seasonal. We had the ricotta pancakes and really didn't like it. It had so much melted cream or whatever it was on top that made it soggy. Flavor was there but I wish it was on the side to dip or something. The item was replaced I think! The Que Churro was pretty good but very sweet. We enjoyed the steak and eggs most because of all the flavor but it was served cold. Overall I think it'd be a good experience if we came on a random week day which is unfortunate because who can! I like that they try different things though.

    Absolute banger brunch spot. Would recommend 5/5 Came here with my girlfriend for a nice brunch. Had the brunch and ordered a matcha and brekkie bowl. Place is really busy but was worth the wait. Server was nice and place was quite clean. Would suggest if the wait isn't an hour.

    Cynthia A.

    Came back to Hatch for brunch with my friend recently. It was her first time the wait was still long. I wish they would do reservations, but it is what it is. The wait is worth it. I had my regular chicken and waffles. It was delicious. She enjoyed her meal as well. I've really loved that we got to experience the Chinese new year celebration while eating. I think that's still one of my favorite highlights from the day it was so culturally exciting and inclusive so we got to have dinner and a show so I really appreciate that hatch participates and celebrates those events and yeah the food is amazing so if you're in the area, definitely stop by and try it, I've been to hatch a few times now and it won't be my last time

    Love the atmosphere of this comfy, cozy brunch spot! All of the food we had was very tasty & the coffee was made to perfection. Although we had a few hiccups with our orders, the waitress & manager were both incredible at making sure things were rectified & that we were satisfied with our service. Their level of professionalism & care for their customers definitely showed! We will be returning to try more delicious things from their menu soon!

    Is there off street parking?

    Yes there's parking garages nearby

    How can I make reservations for a party of 6?

    I suggest that you call them earlier, they don't do reservations less than 6ppl so make sure you call.

    Came by and this location was closed. Their instagram page says new location will open in Sept 2022. I guess no Hatch 44 until then?…

    Correct! They're staying in Metuchen - 25 New Street. Supposed to be a bigger location!

    Can you call to get on the wait list?

    I believe this question was previously asked/answered. You must go in and make a reservation. Hatch44 does not take over the phone reservations.

    Do I need a reservation if it's just two people?

    No just walkin.

    Do you have outdoor dining options?

    Hello yes we do

    Is this byob?

    Yes!

    Are they open again?

    Yes they are. They shut down for 3 weeks due to frozen pipes that burst.

It's located in a strip mall with tons of parking spots. The barista was friendly and quickly took my order, but since he was working alone, it took quite a while to get my drink and bites. I wasn't in a rush, so I didn't mind waiting. We were also entertained by some outside salon drama between two ladies. Hopefully they were able to work things out. As a Matcha aficionado, I wanted to try their honey pistachio Matcha. I also ordered some mozzarella sticks and a Cortado for my husband. My drink was a tad too sweet (too much pistachio syrup), but I still liked it. Mozzarella sticks were fine. I paid about $21 for everything including tip. I like the be kind messages on the cups and the black aesthetic was pretty cool. I wouldn't mind returning to this coffee shop as it was a pleasant drive from my house. I'd like to try some other pastries and definitely will have another matcha, but will request light on the syrup!

Very happy to have a Hong Kong style Cha Chan Tang restaurant right here in Edison, NJ. While there are a few places in NYC, its nice to see Jersey finally get one too. The stars if today were the appetizer dishes. The rice noodles with the special peanut sauce was 100% the best and exactly what you'd expect when you order that dish. The squid and popcorn chicken were both amazing and fried lightly but with a great crispy texture. The small pineapple bun with butter was delicious. We actually had it as a starter and again for dessert. While we loved the apps, the baked rice with pork chop and pepper steak rice bowls were just ok. They weren't amazingly flavorful, but they were still tasty with heavy portions so the value was there. We had HK style milk tea and topped off our meal with their special creamy french toast. Overall we left overly full and didn't have to pay too much. Wow Cafe is very affordable and the staff is very friendly and fast to cater to your needs. It may not look like much on the outside, but the food definitely brings me back and hits the spot!

The beef stew was super tender and the ho fun noodles had a great texture, though the broth could have used a touch more depth and flavor Baked Pork Chop over Fried Rice in Tomato Sauce (3/5): The sauce had great flavor, but adding peppers and red onions felt a bit unusual. You don't typically see those in traditional baked pork chop dishes, and they didn't quite go well imo Overall, a solid spot for a HK cafe
