NJ's Inaugural Coffee Festival Adds Morristown Shop To Lineup

MORRISTOWN, NJ — Calling all coffee lovers — New Jersey’s first coffee festival will now have some local representation.

The inaugural event, scheduled for March 22 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Bell Works in Holmdel, will showcase more than 40 coffee, tea, and food vendors. Attendees can sample different brews and pastries, learn new brewing techniques and enjoy much more.

The final lineup was recently announced, featuring a familiar name. Enjou Chocolat, the premier New Jersey chocolatier based in Morristown, will be participating as one of the food vendors.

Located at 8 Dehart Street in Morristown, Enjou Chocolat has been redefining the art of chocolate-making for over 44 years. The popular chocolate shop boasts more than 50,000 molds but typically creates delicacies in small batches, producing only 10 to 12 pieces per day, unless there's a large order.

Owner Wendy Taffet previously told Patch that it’s the meticulous care and freshness of each product that has made Enjou Chocolat a staple of Morristown since 1983.

"The majority of our recipes are definitely the same as we did it in 1983," Taffet said. "I was taught if it ain't broke, don’t fix it, and I kind of live by those rules."

The chocolate shop offers dozens of delicious creations, with some of the most popular being sea salt caramels, chocolate-covered pretzels, Nonpareils, peanut butter meltaways, almond buttercrunch and more.

Festival attendees will be able to purchase and take home a selection of Enjou Chocolat's signature treats.

With a ticket to the coffee festival, attendees will receive samples from each beverage vendor, along with the option to purchase full-size drinks, beans, merchandise and more.

In addition to shopping from festival vendors, guests can attend Brew School and Coffee Conversations, where they can gain expert coffee-making tips and explore the rich culture of coffee through engaging discussions.

Tickets for general admission are now available online, with early bird pricing currently in effect. VIP tickets, which have already sold out, included all the benefits of general admission, plus early access at 10 a.m., reserved seating, a commemorative coffee tumbler, and more.

Tickets are currently available for $24.99, with prices set to increase on March 2 when early bird pricing ends.
