Brunch might be the best way to spend a weekend morning in Morris County, and we are lucky to have a real spread to choose from. Whether you want cookie dough pancakes with the kids, a farm to table plate before a walk around town, or a lazy Sunday by the lake, these are the spots our team keeps coming back to. Here are eight of the best brunches in Morris County, NJ, from downtown Morristown out to Madison and Mountain Lakes.
The Committed Pig, Morristown
If you only have room for one brunch on your list, make it The Committed Pig at 28 West Park Place in Morristown. This burger and pancake house has built a following across New Jersey for its playful, oversized menu, and the cookie dough pancakes and cinnamon crunch French toast are the reason people line up. Brunch runs seven days a week, with longer hours on Saturday and Sunday, so it is an easy call any weekend.
South + Pine American Eatery, Morristown
South + Pine at 90 South Street leans farm to table, building its plates around fresh, seasonal ingredients from local farms, and it is BYOB, which keeps the mimosas easy. Weekend brunch runs Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and dishes like the short rib hash have made it one of the most popular brunch tables in Morristown. Reservations are smart here on weekends.
The Morris Proper, Morristown
Tucked into the M Station development at 100 Morris Street, The Morris Proper brings a more refined, farm to table approach under Chef Andrew Riccatelli. Weekend brunch runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and it is a great pick when you want the brunch to feel like a small occasion rather than a quick bite. The space is bright and modern, and the plates match it.
End of Elm, Morristown
End of Elm at 140 Morris Street serves brunch on Saturday and Sunday, right across from the Morristown train station. The menu swings from banana bread French toast and chicken and waffles to a sashimi tuna pizza and the End of Elm prime burger, so nobody at the table has to pick a side between sweet and savory, and there is a build your own Bloody Mary bar to go with it. Reservations are worth making on weekends.
Black River Barn, Randolph
Out on Route 10 at 1178 Route 10 West in Randolph, Black River Barn is a lively, family friendly American spot with a big bar and hearty plates. It is a comfortable weekend stop when you want something casual and filling without heading into downtown Morristown, and the crowd stays easygoing. Sundays are the move here for a relaxed brunch.
Indian Lake Bistro, Denville
Right by the water at 65 Indian Road in Denville, Indian Lake Bistro is a cozy breakfast and brunch spot with omelettes, avocado toast, thick cut French toast, and house roasted Lake Born coffee. It is closed Monday and open Sunday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., so it makes an easy start to a Denville morning before a walk around the lake or downtown. The lakeside setting is the bonus.
Sunday Motor Co Cafe, Madison
Set in a converted 1950s Mobil service station at 27 Kings Road in Madison, Sunday Motor Co Cafe is as charming as it sounds, with a bright, retro feel and a solid breakfast and brunch menu. It is closed Monday and open Sunday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., and it pairs well with a stroll through Madison’s downtown. For more in town, see our guide to the best restaurants in Madison.
Hapgood’s, Mountain Lakes
Hapgood’s at 44 Midvale Road in Mountain Lakes is a cozy, classic American spot that has earned a loyal brunch crowd for its seasonal, high quality plates. It serves breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, with Sunday hours from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., and the neighborhood setting makes it feel like a local secret. It is well worth the short drive.
