I hate to leave a bad review on first watch because I like it so much hence at least the four stars but this location probably had some of the worst service I've experienced out of all the locations I've been to.food came out very cold, the party of four that sat next to us after we sat down got their food first and finished before we got our food. Our server abandoned us after we got our first drink and I was hoping to at least get a few pomegranate sunrise's but that didn't work out. Maybe it was just a off day for the kitchen but I may have to pass on going to this location again sadly even though is right next to where I live. read more

It's nice to see another breakfast restaurant popping up in this area, especially one with a slant towards healthier foods. I'm becoming mildly addicted to the carrot cake multigrain pancakes, which are probably my favorite item here. Though I typically get take out orders, I really enjoy the layout of this restaurant. It's very open, yet homey. The staff here are friendly and try to be as accommodating as possible. There are some nice little extras that one can appreciate, like having citrus infused water and coffee available at the front counter during wait times. The only ding I might give them is their menu items are a touch on the pricey side. But I am the type of person who's always happy to pay more for quality ingredients, so that certainly won't stop me from coming here. read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

The staff were all super friendly - from the moment we walked in the door. The decor is really cool. The many has a huge variety - it was hard to pick just one thing. Tons of healthy, creative and delicious sounding items. We decided on the pumpkin spice pancakes and Tri-athlete breakfast, and their new carrot juice. It was all really good. read more

First Watch - Tri-athlete breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

Been a few times for brunch. Service is not the greatest or friendliest but that's not reflected in the rating. The food is your average brunch. Better than a Perkins but definitely not on the level of bacon social or snooze. Smaller portions for foo read more

Disappointed. First, the yelp wait list option massively failed. The hostess did not have our names and was not accommodating even after seeing the confirmation. We ordered coffee and a kale juice. This was probably the best part of the meal. My husband ordered the eggs Benedict and million dollar bacon. The Benedict was average. The million dollar bacon, we wouldn't have paid 10 cents for. The picture was very deceiving, as our bacon came out cold and burnt. It crumbled when we tried to pick it up. As we were paying they did remove the charge for the bacon. I ordered biscuits and gravy. It too was average. The biscuits we nice, the gravy was good. The eggs and potatoes were cold and unappealing. I understand that we went on a busy Sunday, and that it was daylight savings. The disappointment comes from the many of other choices of good breakfast places we missed because we chose this dumpster fire. read more

This was my first visit to this First Watch! Since I am writing this review during times of COVID-19 I would like to say that they are operating at full capacity. There is no mask requirement and I did not see any employees wearing a mask. If you are worried to eat here for health reasons I would recommend to order to go so you do not miss out on the yummy food. I ordered, wanting a light meal and that is what I got. The Sunshine Granola Bowl was tasty, I especially liked the yogurt. It was not very thick which gave it a nice texture. I would have preferred more granola but do not let that discourage you from ordering it! Come to First Watch if you are looking for a new place for brunch! read more

Wish it was better, food mediocre, service good, environment alright. Just was hoping for more from past experiences :(

Everytime I come to Denver, I have to come here at least twice! Once for their amazing avocado toast and another to try something else on the menu. Everything I've tried is simply delicious, but their avocado toast is still the best! Best avocado toast I've found so far, and I've been searching for a good one in LA and just haven't found one that compares to this. read more

Service here can be hit or miss. Sometimes the wait staff is extremely attentive and welcoming, other times they have messed up our order and not checked in with us during the meal. The food is good, but it can take a while to receive it. I like both the breakfast and the lunch menu and they serve lunch at any time, which is convenient when you're not looking for breakfast food, but the rest of your party is. The restaurant seating plan is very open, so it can get pretty loud during crowded times, but the atmosphere is cute and has a lot of natural lighting. I was really excited for this place when it first opened and it has good food, but the inconsistency in the wait staff is why I have to give this a 3 star review. read more

My husband and I were visiting family in Colorado, and everyone local said this restaurant was amazing! After a very short-lived issue with another large group pretending to be us, we were seated almost immediately. Peter, who I presume was the manager, was friendly and accommodating. True hospitality emerges when hiccups arise, and the whole team at FIRST WATCH were the epitome of customer service. As my large family bumped into one another like ducks in a bathtub determining where to sit at our two large tables, fresh coffee and water were in place before we even sat down. We were fortunate enough to have Stephanie and Erica as our servers. They were Johnny on the spot!!! Took our orders quickly and in no time our breakfasts arrived as ordered. The food tasted as good as it looked. And then Erica was kind enough to take a family photo! Great Experience! read more

I'm sad to have to give a low rating today. I stopped by at 2:18pm today to find out the kitchen was closed and was turned away. I understand that they close at 2:30pm, but drove 15 minutes to grab breakfast and was DENIED. This is unfortunately the second time in 2 weeks this has happened at this location. I typically frequent the First Watch in Northglenn that is always 5 stars! Kudos to Northglenn and Arvada probably should change the hours on the door to 2:15pm read more

Based on food only. Carrot cake pancake should come w warning. (Full of raisins) very dry. My chickichanga was burnt my potatoes were Burnt. Cinnamon toast milk looked old. I've had the one on 120th and I-25 and it was the complete opposite experience of this. They also sat us near a full blasting vent. Had to ask to move or my food would have been cold instantly. Bad experience. read more

First time trying the food and was very happy with the food we ordered and the drinks were also pretty good

VEGAN FRIENDLY!! Market Hash - No Cheese, No Egg, Add Avocado! Lovely meal, food is prepared appropriately in a farm house style that compliments the restaurant aesthetic very well. The toast is amazing, the almond butter seems home-made, and the service is friendly and attentive. Our server, Valerie, was professional, knowledgeable, attentive and patient. Would visit again, top notch breakfast bop! Note for Vegans: Toast did arrive with butter on it at first, so make sure your server knows your diet and double check incase of small mixup, staff is super friendly and will make it right with a smile though. read more

The million dollar breakfast sandwich was the best Bfast sandwich I've ever had. So good!

Really great breakfast and fresh juices. I love that they use eco friendly to go packaging.

A group of friends and I went to grab brunch here. They were busy and had a wait. They told us it would be up to 45 minutes and when we asked them how much longer the wait was, the hostess said it's been 33 minutes and we told you 45 minutes to an hour. The bathroom stall didn't lock and someone had to hold the door shut for someone else I saw. Other than that, the place was a healthy brunch. A couple people I was with were kind of picky and asked for a couple substitutes. The waitress was spot on with the requests so thank you! We had a good time and would recommend it if you are not in a rush. I got the hash farm house and my boyfriend got the hilltop egg sandwich. They do not serve alcohol which is a great refresher when you're trying to take a day off from drinking lol. But the orange juice is freshly squeezed and delicious! read more

Nice features and decent food. Plenty of photos to look at so I didn't add to them. Overall I'd say it was okay enough. It's clean and pleasant in atmosphere. There are several egg white dishes and a good variety of menu items. I had the eggs with biscuits and turkey gravy along with potatoes. It's certainly enough food to eat so I like that fact. The bread or toast was delicious! Of course we went on a late morning in the middle of the week so we had no problem getting seated. I'm told it can get pretty busy at times. While I like the ambience I was not happy with the noise level. A full restaurant could be quite loud so I don't consider this a nice quiet place to go. Instead it is a place that busy people would enjoy. The service was quite good and on liquids just be aware they cost a fair sum. Overall it's a decent place to enjoy very nice food. On prices expect about $10 a dish so with tip you could have a breakfast for two reach $30 if you add drinks. I did join the online club so I received one entree free for a first timer. We returned a couple of times and I have to tell you...this place is growing on me! On one recent visit we shared the chickachanga breakfast dish...that is quite good. It's a load of food so worth a try. The dish has chicken, egg, and more wrapped in a thin flour tortilla and graced by potatoes. Fruit too to help with your tastebuds. Very nice! The menu choices are fun to review before deciding on your dish. This place can get busy but it's fun to stop in there every once in a while. read more

Great place for breakfast and brunch. They have a very good healthy menu. Food was delicious and they make fresh fruit juice friendly staff and great ambience !10/10 for this place ! Highly recommend this to all read more

Fresh and healthy breakfast food! The Kale Tonic is a must order, even for those who don't like 'green drinks'. It's very refreshing and not the normal thick smoothie type beverage. Our server was fun, happy and attentive. The Egg Sandwich was the best item we ordered, followed by the Farmhouse Skillet, Chile Chorizo Omelette and Carbonara Benedict. $20 each for our party of 5. This place is super busy so get on the waitlist before you head out. We put ourselves on the waitlist through Yelp but still had to wait 20 minutes after we arrived. read more

My daughter and I met for breakfast and we had the new super seed protein pancakes and one of the eggs Benedict dishes. Both were amazing!! We always seem to gravitate here because everthing is so tasty and there is always something for everyone to love. Fresh, high quality, unique...what's not to like? I always recommend First Watch to friends. You really need to try it if you haven't yet :-) read more

All the food was pretty good. Their bacon was way to hard for my daughter and I . We enjoy bacon but not super crispy! The look of the place was awesome and our server was so so but they were pretty busy. Yes we would go again just not order bacon. read more

Our office is nearby, and it was a coworker's birthday. She picked this restaurant for her birthday lunch. First of all, the service is just the right amount of attentive without being annoying or obnoxious. Secondly, the food was amazing, and was correct when it came to the table. I ordered the "Market Hash". It was delicious and the portion size was more than enough to stomp out the mid-day hunger. I will be back again! read more

Our new favorite spot! The coffee is pretty decent. The gritz are amazing! I had this egg sandwich and it hit the spot for me. No meat, but it still filled us up so much. The waitress was really nice and kind to us. Overall, pleasant experience and definitely would go here again. I am stoked about trying their juices.. will definitely update my review on that. read more

I first went to a First Watch in Florida so I was happy to see it come to Arvada. I love their Farmhouse Skillet and their tonic juices. The food and the ambiance in this chain restaurant is really good. It's very comfortable and somewhere you could sit and chat for hours. The part of town this restaurant is in usually is busy on the weekends but you can get in right away on a week day. They do have bar seats at a community table if you are looking for a fast breakfast. We tried the eggs Benedict and it was ok but the hollandaise was a bit week. The farmhouse skillet has tons of flavor with the roasted tomatoes in it and the freshly baked bread is the perfect accompaniment. Try to kale tonic if you are having tummy issues. It fixes my stomach ache every time! read more

We ordered the million dollar bacon, a Bloody Mary, and mimosa to start. All were delicious. My partner ordered the eggs Benedict with salmon and I got the avocado toast. I'd ordered the toast before so I knew it was going to be good. My partners salmon just wasn't up to par. I don't think it had anything to do with the chef's ability to prepare the dish, rather the salmon itself just didn't taste right. Our server, Stephanie, was wonderful! She was quick to replace the meal (we swapped out the salmon for the pesto chick quinoa bowl and it was AMAZING - highly recommend trying this power bowl) and she was kind throughout the duration of our meal. I'd come back again just for her quick and courteous service. :) read more

A bit pricy and small portions but great food and employees. The avocado toast was good but a bit bland. The breakfast quinoa bowl was fantastic (but small). No military or senior discounts which is always a deterrent. read more

Nice new breakfast joint! I gave it 4 stars for the following reasons: The online app to add your name to the waitlist did not work, and the hostesses did not want to take names over the phone so when we arrived it was a 40 minute wait. We were only a party of two so we thought it would go quickly. Three hostesses were staffed. One literally = walked around looking at empty tables but did not grab a rag or even busing a table, one did not know what to do and the other was miserable at the cash register. The turnover was awful. Multiple tables sat uncleared and empty for 10 minutes at a time. The servers were bustling around and our server Jenni was AWESOME. Super accommodating to our health needs and really on top of everything! The food was super fresh and delicious. Hopefully the bugs can get worked out so it's an enjoyable visit from start to finish. read more

This is a wonderful new establishment to the Arvada Marketplace that has something for nearly everyone on the menu! The location is perfectly located off of I70 and Wadsworth which makes it convenient to travel to, and worth the wait when they have one! It is a must try for breakfast or brunch, and I will undoubtedly be back for lunch soon! Our server was hands down the most enjoyable aspect of the visit here! Shelby went out of her way to accommodate our needs in any way possible, including bringing out a sample glass of a beet juice I wasn't too positive about. With her recommendation and a quick taste, I was sold and readily taken care of. Shelby's other advice was to order a side of the Million Dollar Bacon.. by far the best bacon I've ever tasted!!! Accompanied by a very filling skillet, fresh coffee set at our table for us to refill, our experience with First Watch was very much a delight. 5 out of 5 for the EXCELLENT customer service, delicious food, and cool new ambiance to the area. Will be back again and again! read more

I've never been more disappointed in one of our staple restaurants. As we were walking in, some women were walking out speaking about how terrible the service is. I shrugged it off because I frequent the Northglenn one and know that sometimes some people are just off. But, wow, were they right. Our server, Karen, really made me want to leave the entire time. She was passive aggressive and not really available. I'm so disappointed. Also FYI: This location does not have a liquor license. Won't be back here. read more

Love the space. Food quality is top notch. Avocado Toast is totally loaded, eggs perfectly cooked - worth every penny! Lemon Ricotta Pancakes were not my jam, but others will probably like them. Service is fab. Don't miss out on the juices. Will definitely be back. read more

I haven't had one thing here I don't like. It's also a great atmosphere to bring kids or even a book or laptop and work through breakfast. Food is always out quick. Portions are spot on. The kids menu portion is the real deal for the price. read more

Community table is a great idea. Waitress was one of the nicest and friendliest I've encountered - I asked her opinion on 2 different juices and not only did she offer a recommendation she brought a sample over of the 2nd juice so I didn't feel like I missed out. Thanks for that over the top service even when it's busy! Food was great. Decor is nice - feels like sitting inside a fresh garden. Green juice was excellent. Solid breakfast spot. read more

Had an amazing experience at the Arvada 52nd ave location. We are blessed to be able to be served by Valerie and her team member Isaiah! The service was impeccable and recommendations much appreciated. Our table ordered the French toast, short ribs Benedict... a must try and the avocado toast with an egg! This is my first time to visit First Watch and I'll definitely be coming back ! read more

The community seating is a good idea, if I was in a hurry I would definitely use that option. It took a while for a server to come by, which is always irritating when there's a lot of staff. I believe they need to be a bit more organized in order to get to 5 stars. The coffee is ok, I definitely prefer a coffee with bolder flavors. The Million Dollar Bacon was very good. The Works Omelette was also very good. They forgot dressing for my greens, but when I mentioned it they brought me some along with other items I requested right away. It's also weird to get the bill when you have only taken a couple bites, but thats where the organization factor comes in again. Overall I was fairly happy and plan on coming back. read more

First Watch - Million Dollar Bacon & The Works Omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

Definitely overpriced for food that's equivalent to an ihop and under a Cracker Barrel. Leaves a ton to be desired especially in the coffee area after seeing it recommended for the coffee on many occasions. The server was very strange and continued to call us rascals and told my fiancé, child, and I to stay out of trouble after we finished. read more
