    Breakfast or brunch at Hershey Pantry is amazing (I can’t bring myself to order anything but breakfast food, so I’m not sure how it is for lunch—probably good)! It can get very busy, especially during peak park season. But the breakfast, specialty coffee, and mimosas are great. My most recent meal was a baked oatmeal flight (apple, pumpkin, and s’mores) and a mimosa flight—-both were amazing! The staff is always friendly and efficient, so they do really keep it moving. The only negative thing about this place is the parking. It’s a ridiculously small lot for the size of the restaurant, and it can be terrible to find a spot during what is considered a normal breakfast time. There is a hotel next door, but they’re understandably not fans of you parking there. I’ve already circled around for up to 10+ minutes trying to even find a spot at the hotel. I think it does cause a lot of people to just give up, even when the wait isn’t that long.

    The food was really tasty I was impressed for my 1st time there. The seating was great we were able to get a table right away. The food came out at a decent time and it was fresh. I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends.

    Great find 40 minutes from home. Well worth the drive. Great food, excellent wait staff, very friendly. Known for the best Eggs Benedict. And the big Cinnamon Roll . Lots of locals and so a bit noisy. Check out the specials on the board as you walk in.

    This is one of the top breakfast experiences I've ever had with my family. Highly recommend getting there early as there is a long wait especially for going on the weekend and waiting longer for the outdoor seating is probably going to be experienced you'll never forget. Parking is probably the hardest thing to do when visiting this place but it doesn't help that the employees of the hotel next door are parking where only the Hershey pantry people are allowed to park. Highly recommend doing the oatmeal flight it was the most delicious thing I've ever tried and also their breakfast drinks are absolutely out of this world delicious. My waitress was Alyssa she's absolutely amazing and she gave it her all.

    We visited Hershey for a few days and walked over to this cute little cafe and had some of the BEST food and drinks I’ve had in a while! The baked oatmeal flight was incredible, the chai latte was perfect, loved the chorizo breakfast tacos, and adored our server, Cate! 100/10!! Update: we went a second time and it was just as good! Loved their breakfast sausage and eggs Benedict, and those pumpkin cinnamon rolls were incredible! Plus, the hashbrowns always come out the perfect texture.

    We stopped here for breakfast before heading out of town. Walked in and realized we probably should have made a reservation - they said 20 minute wait for 2. We gave them our number and literally got a text that our table was ready before we even made it back to the car. I got the Avocado Beet Toast with goat cheese and balsamic glaze - huge portion, I couldn't even finish it. Also had a lavender latte which was delicious. My friend got a butternut squash home fry and eggs special and said it was great but couldn't finish either because the portions were so big. The staff was super friendly and the place was really cute - already decorated for Christmas. They have indoor and patio seating, and the patio is well heated with a fireplace. Really glad this is where we chose to eat before we took off!
