The build-your-own skillet and the pancakes (whether you get them gluten-free or regular) are must-tries. The prices are also pretty affordable. You order at the cash register first and then find a seat, so keep that in mind. We went during a slower time, but I can definitely see this place getting busy during peak hours. There's a parking lot and there's additional seating available outside. Overall, it's a great spot for breakfast or lunch, and we'll definitely be back!

The menu is on the wall and hard to read so I asked the woman behind the counter if they had a paper menu, She rolled her eyes and pushed one across the counter like I was inconveniening her. I placed my order, and she told me to go find a table and the food would be out soon. As soon as I sat down, she came out and brought me my coffee. I asked for cream and sugar, and she said it was on the counter inside. It was a giant cup of coffee (which is awesome) but it was filled to the top. So I burned my hand when I spilled it, trying to get in sugar. By this time I was very frustrated. I went back to my table and my food came up almost immediately. The server was smiling and friendly. The food looked amazing and tasted even better. Iordered almond les leches french toast, cheese grits and bacon. The greats are okay, but nothing specia but the french toast was out of this world. It was thick, cut, smoked bacon that tasted fantastic. The server and the food saved this visit for me. I am going to assume that the woman at the counter was having a bad day and not let it keep me from coming back.

They have boozy brunch cocktails as well if you are so inclined- I was and ordered a Bloody Maria. This was delicious as was the strip of bacon that came with the drink. Yum! We also gave their cinnamon roll a shot, and were very pleased with the gooey, deliciousness of this baked good! I tried the chilaquiles for my main entree and was pleasantly impressed. I did order my eggs sunny side up, and well, they tried but they came out a little over cooked-no biggie though. Our server was very nice and kept tabs on us frequently throughout our meal- this was very much appreciated!

This is a great Ethiopian owned coffee shop. I enjoy the chai lattes. I tend to get either the 12…read moreounce or 16 ounce because there's no way I can finish a 24 ounce of any drink in one sitting before it gets cold. There is a plenty of seating. A lot of people come here to meet with friends work by themselves and work or study in small groups. There is a little area towards the back of the main room that has a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony laid out, which I find interesting and cool to look at. There is another seating area in the back that can be reserved if you want more privacy. The coffee house also has coffee that you can purchase. There are a lot of different baked goods for purchase and quick meals that are made to order. I like it here. It's a nice calm setting with good lighting. It's clean. Whenever I'm in the area, I will continue to get a drink here.

There are large tables for groups to come together socially or for business. They offer free Wi-Fi. The seating in the back is very private. They played relaxing and calming music that was a pleasure to listen to while drinking delicious coffee and sitting in comfort. Hannah was our barista, and she was lovely! She is a kind and friendly person who took the time to explain how to make reservations for the Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony that can be scheduled on Saturdays or Sundays. The Yirgacheffe coffee was incredible, so smooth! It is from Ethiopia--the birthplace of coffee. The food menu is vegetarian (no meat served) The noise level was perfect, indoor seating is plentiful (no outdoor seating), and parking is plentiful in the lot in front. In the restroom, the toilet was a bidet. I wish the menu were in a larger font to make it easier to read. I feel coffee shops in general need ample storage to keep supplies and clutter out of sight of customers.

This eatery is underwhelming and overpriced. Their version of a Manhattan, do not recommend. It was…read moremore of a whisky coke than a Manhattan. The margarita was just a tequila sunrise. Lots of breakfast items and the food was actually decent but again overpriced. Our server was very nice but did not clear off our table at all. I tried to make a reservation for 7 the day before we visited the restaurant and they told me they only do reservations for four. Said I should expect about a 30 min wait for the group size and time we were wanting to be sat. Got there 30 mins prior to when we wanted to sit and the hostess told me it would be 45-60 mins and that there were several reservations ahead of me including another 7 top and if the reservation came in our table would keep getting bumped. This was VERY annoying. Our table ended up being ready in 30 mins which was nice but the conversation with the hostess to start then seemed ridiculously unnecessary. There is little waiting space inside and a makeshift host "area." I won't be back.

I ordered the chicken fried steak skillet. It was outstanding. Perfectly cooked, seasoned, and gravied. Our server suggested the hash browns instead of the country potatoes and she was not wrong. Fun fact- Early Bird Eatery does offer bottomless mimosas for $18! Well worth it! I will be back for brunch-that's a given. I also look forward to trying Monk's Indian Grill as well.

Food took about 30 minutes so that's something, you think they are clearly cooking to order. Now if only they could cook you something edible!! The food was disgusting. My Southern Benedict had school-lunch-style "chicken" tenders on it instead of real breast meat. The eggs are not cooked to order, those are very clearly pre-boiled eggs (Pssst, Early Bird, Boiled is NOT the same as Poached!). The biscuits were not biscuits at all, I think it was an English muffin, but either way, it was microwaved to the point it couldn't be picked up, the bread just crumbles around. Couldn't even finish this mess of a meal and had to leave with most of it untouched. My husband's burrito was bad as well. He took maybe 3 bites before we just left. I didn't even want to pay I thought this was such a rip-off. Don't waste your time, eat elsewhere or even just cook at home.

My Bacado Omelet had brown and spotted avocado that had seen better days at least a week ago. Jade did bring me some fresh avocado but it was concerning that the kitchen sent it out like that. The manager did take it off our check which was kind of her. I like how First Watch changes up the menu seasonally so there's always something new to try.
