Ethan and The Bean is a purveyor of tasty, freshly-made organic artisan-quality hot or iced…read morebeverages, baked goods, soups, salads, and sandwiches that provides a terrific independently-minded alternative in downtown Morristown to Starbucks' corporate siren. 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.

It has a cute feel and modern and bright aesthetic that a lot of new coffee shops I see popping up have. I went with a Flat White which was warm and soothing. Unfortunately, the espresso was over-extracted making it bitter to taste. Some sugar or a flavor syrup would've helped with that but I didn't anticipate the taste to be as acidic and dry as it was. Might've been an off day but don't think I'd go out of my way to come back here.

I ordered an iced coffee with only skim milk and you could taste the richness of the coffee in every sip. The server was friendly and greeted me with a smile. I also love the fact you could add spices like cinnamon to your drink with a cool side condiment station. But 6+ dollars for a medium iced coffee is a little crazy even in this era. I wish them all the best but my visits will be few and far between!

Find the elusive powdered jelly donut with the perfect trifecta of jelly, fluffy dough, and powdered sugar. At 7:30 a.m., the donuts hadn't fully arrived--delivered later from another store--so the hunt continues. Instead, I went for the breakfast of champions: a peanut butter and chocolate cookie. It didn't disappoint. Soft yet slightly crunchy, gooey in the middle, and kissed with sea salt--it's a winner. To the Kirshen team: Please, get those donuts in early for the morning crowd--we're rooting for you! This cookie restored my faith in the bakery, and I'll be back this summer to give the donuts another shot. I eat. I judge. The fork stops with me.

Coffee was bitter, and it was an effort to get it from the dispenser / had to get staff help. Multiple parties served before our order was complete. When asked where our smoothies were 20+ minutes after our order was placed and several people served who arrived after us were served, I got a 'we're working on it' from aforementioned hostess. As if I'm bothering you. No 'sorry for your wait'. Well, I got the obligatory 'sorry for the wait' when the smoothie was finally delivered. So there's that. But certainly not friendly. Not coming back. So many other options around. Nice concept, terrible execution.

This is the perfect spot for a cozy winter date. I ordered the Eggplant Toast and my Husband ordered the Kofte. Everything was served up quickly. I have been craving most eggplant toast since.

The kofte was similarly delicious and came with lots of rice and salad on the side. For desert, we both shared a piece of baklava, which did not disappoint.
