    My first thoughts on first watch while driving past it was that this building was a one of those walk in medical care clinics. After searching for a brunch spot of the googles, First Watch popped up and my friend and i decided to give them a chance, and we were very pleased with our experience. Service was quick and we had no problem getting of choice of seating. I got the million dollar sand which served with crispy potatoes. Highly recommend. I was disappointed with the iced coffee I received. Very watered down, not much coffee to be had in that drink. All in all i 100% would visit First watch again

    Overall solid experience at First Watch today. Servers were friendly, the coffee was solid, and the food came out quickly. My BLT Eggs Benedict was the exception and came out about 10 minutes after everyone else's food. I would give the BLT Eggs Benedict a 3/5 -- good quantity of food but hollandaise sauce was pretty average.

    Plenty of outdoor seating while you wait!

    Haven't been here in a while. New menu. Not as many choices as I recall. Great coffee. Service was on point.

    Hostess/waitress was very friendly. Ham and cheese omelette was very good and hot but bread wasn't properly toasted and pancake was cold.

    The town is absolutely lovely, and this restaurant itself is charming. The staff was friendly, and…read morewe genuinely wanted to enjoy our experience. However, if you need to eat gluten-free due to a medical condition like Celiac disease, please be very, very cautious. Although this establishment claims to offer gluten-free options, there seems to be a concerning lack of understanding of what "gluten-free" actually requires. I asked detailed questions before ordering and was assured that my selection was safe. After the food arrived--and after I had already started eating--I was then informed that while the crepe itself was gluten-free, the filling was not. That kind of distinction should be clearly communicated upfront, especially when a customer specifically asks about gluten-free options. Unfortunately, the same situation happened with my daughter, who also has celiac. To make matters worse, we were charged for both the incorrect meals and the replacements. In hindsight, I should have asked for a manager, but we were there to visit with a friend and I didn't want to make a scene. Our total for three people ended up being over $80 with the tip I still left. I understand that eating out always carries risk when you have dietary restrictions, and I ALWAYS try to approach it with patience and kindness. We were traveling, so we didn't have much choice. But if a restaurant says they offer gluten-free items, there needs to be a basic understanding (by the wait staff AND the kitchen cooks) of ingredients and clear communication. What should have been a fun outing turned into a weekend of being very sick. Just something to be aware of if you have to eat gluten-free for health reasons - this is probably not the spot for you.

So many drink, syrup and "sconewich" options. Be sure to check it out. I had the hot chocolate and a green goblin scone.

Staff was knowledgeable about the menu, and very patient because I know we took longer than we should have to make decisions. Restaurant offers what appeared to be scone dough for purchase, as well as other numerous items, such as local honey, and some apparel. I got the rise and pine, a traditional scone with jam and butter, and a vanilla latte. I asked about the jams they offered. Unfortunately, the one I ordered was not available so I got strawberry jam. I gotta say I was a little bit letdown because I assumed this was freshly made jam and not prepackaged store-bought. Either way it tasted fine. The downside to cold store-bought jam is it was impossible to spread on the scone. The scone was so brital that it literally fell apart in my hand. It almost had the consistency of a day old homemade biscuit. There was no salvaging this scone to eat properly I had to eat it in pieces. That aside it did have good flavor. I wonder what would it have tasted like if I could've actually put the jam and butter on it. Latte was good as well as the rise and pine breakfast scone. Seating was a bit different. Meaning that you felt like you were right on top of one another. Not very roomie. The most comfortable seat I must say is the one near the restroom which is a leather loveseat and a chair. I paid $23.73, which included a tip. In my opinion for what I got, this was too much, especially since the scone fell apart in my hand.
