Ordered via Doordash. I had the Blueberry Lemon Cornbread, turkey sausage and Pineapple Express drink. The food was delicious. The cornbread was perfect for breakfast with the lemon butter. The drink was definitely watered down. Way too much ice and it took away from the flavor. read more

First Watch is a cafe chain for health-minded breakfast, brunch and lunch options such as omelets, salads and soups. Had Chickichanga which is made of whipped cage-free eggs with spicy, all-natural chicken breast, chorizo, green chiles, Cheddar and Monterey Jack, onions and avocado rolled in a flour tortilla. Topped with Vera Cruz sauce and all-natural sour cream. Served with fresh, seasoned potatoes. Also ordered Smoked Salmon and Roasted Vegetable which is made of a classic frittata with Wild Alaska Smoked Sockeye Salmon, house-roasted shallots and tomatoes topped with Parmesan, a chive cream drizzle and fresh herbs. Served with ciabatta toast and lemon-dressed organic mixed greens. Got the Blazing Dragon drink made of strawberry, lemon, cane sugar and dragon fruit. Everything was made perfect to taste. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We were here for our saturday brunch. It was not too crowded, but initially the service was little slow. Our server Ivorie, was an absolute delight. As this restaurant sits in a shopping plaza, the parking is free, but getting a spot is little challenging. They have in-door and out-door sitting. I prefered to sit outside to enjoy the awesome weather. They have a large menu with many options. As for the food, it's absolutely outstanding. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. You can tell they take pride in using quality ingredients. I highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a delightful brunch experience in Atlanta. First Watch is an award-winning breakfast, brunch and lunch spot, serving a chef-driven menu of elevated classics and seasonal specialties, always made to order using the freshest ingredients. They greet the sunrise by slicing and juicing fresh fruits and vegetables, whipping French toast batter from scratch and brewing pots of our single-origin Project Sunrise coffee. Freshness is never comprised, which is why they welcome each season into our menu with ingredients and flavors inspired by the position of the sun. All year long, you can enjoy craveable favorites like Avocado Toast for breakfast, Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict for brunch and Lemon Ricotta Pancakes for lunch. Whether you start at the crack of dawn or not, they will leave that up to you. read more

I love First Watch. It's a chain, but I love the breakfast options. Today, I had Avocado Toast for lunch. It was delicious and (sorta) healthy. No issues with parking and there were plenty of tables available during lunch. read more

First Watch never disappoints. Always my go to for a good breakfast! I ordered their special bowl and it was delicious. I sat at the bar and Stephanie (I think) was great and efficient. Service was great and I received my meal promptly. I connected with the person next to me and it was a great conversation. This place is happening and people seems to be very friendly. The food was great and the ambiance was very upbeat. read more

First Watch is a safe go-to brunch spot. The food is always solid, this time around I had the chai pudding & I was pleasantly surprised how tasty it was! The service is fine, no complaints. Lastly, the ambiance is very family friendly with a wonderful covered outdoor patio for the warmer months. read more

Staff was nice and the service was good. Parking is easy. Our server was personable and helpful with suggestions. They have a large menu with many options. I especially enjoy the Biscuits with Turkey Sausage Gravy. Prices are reasonable. They offer a seasonal sangria pitcher for a little over $20. My only complaint is that the breakfast potatoes were a little under cooked. Other tables near us also sent their bacon back to be cooked longer, but ours came out fine. Would definitely return. read more

Solid brunch spot! So I came in on a whim because it's not that far from me. I needed something decent and quick. Now it wasn't super quick but that was just because of the time that I came in. But I was not disappointed. It's in a shopping area so there's free parking. So at least not to worry about paying, but if it's crowded you may not get close to the door. A word of advice, if you're going to come, you want to go ahead and make sure that you come really early, or just be aware of the wait time. If you come doing breakfast or brunch, on a weekend, especially, you will be waiting. They have a lot of seating, but not as much for specific type of crowd, but they do have plenty of seating on a regular day. And they also have bar seating but that usually goes fast cuz that is first come first serve. Ham and Grier cheese melt - The melt was really good. They didn't have a whole lot of thickness to it but it was very flavorful. I will say if you use that and dip it in the gravy it was pretty damn good LOL. Million dollar potatoes - The potatoes were amazing. I don't know what type of cheese or witchcraft they put in them, but it was odd enough LOL. The potatoes were damn good! I would go back just for an order of those! Bacon - I ordered a side of bacon and the bacon could have been cooked a little bit more, it was kind of floppy and not really crispy at all. But at least it tasted good, but it tasted like bacon so I guess that's fine LOL. Sausage gravy and biscuit - I feel like the biscuit was good but the gra . And it had plenty of gravy there in a container for my to go order. Used the gravy for other stuff on my order too because it was so much. Monterey club - The club was okay. Didn't really have enough meat on it for me to enjoy it but it was good, had flavor, especially cuz they had bacon on it. Overall, this is a pretty solid breakfast spot. If you want. Breakfast is a good spot to go to, depending on what time you go you could have a good experience or you could be waiting around. But the same time, they took care of me. read more

We ordered breakfast for three. I ordered a waffle, my wife ordered a breakfast bowl and my son ordered a pancake. They came out with the waffle and nothing else. My wife and son had to wait almost 20 minutes for their meals to arrive. Essential tip: if a group comes to your restaurant for breakfast, they would like to eat together. read more

This was my first time coming to the Dunwoody location and certainly the last! The only thing I was able to get was an iced coffee that tastes like milk with sugar and some ice. I will say our server was nice, and did warn the kitchen would take a few minutes extra for our food, little did we know it would take an HOUR. Unfortunately I never received my food due to having to work and could no longer wait. This location will certainly never see me again!! read more

First Watch - Carmel coffee - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Pluses: - We were seated immediately on the patio - Hostess and server were friendly - Good salad that came with the eggs benedict - Coffee was ok Minuses: - The small cup of cheese grits I ordered was swimming in butter, and not in a good way. It was so much butter that I literally poured the butter out into the extra coffee cup on my table. - Can't recommend the classic eggs benedict. One egg was cooked just right, and the other was basically a hard boiled egg. The ciabatta bread was stale, untoasted, completely cold. - The waffle and berry compote was alright, but it certainly didn't taste like a $10 waffle. - No price on the drinks part of the menu. Got a little sticker shock for a small juice. I walked away from this place feeling I had wasted $40-50 on sub-par food and wishing I had just cooked brunch on my own. Feels bad. read more

UBEREATS got this for a second time over uber eats, pancake and turkey sausage. the sausage was as expected, nothing great, nothing bad. butter came completely melted, maybe that's not their fault but the ubereats driver came straight to me and it's never happened before so i suspect it's the restaurant. the pancake was big and gross. burnt pancake with some blueberries also tasted burnt to some extent. somewhere in the middle there was a faint banana flavor- but i didn't request banana. not a fan. won't order from here for ubereats again. maybe it's better in the restaurant. read more

We had breakfast at First Watch today. The staff was friendly, and the restaurant was hopping. There were three of us at our table. One meal was very delayed, so the server brought a blueberry muffin over. Unfortunately, the wait had tainted our experience, so little things started to stand out. Like the consolation muffin was cold. The roll used in the eggs Benedict was cold and unappetizing. My main issue was with the cleanliness. We sat in a booth, and the wall was covered in food and dried egg yolk. The local, in our group, stated that she would not be returning. read more

I just had the worst experince at this location. It's a sunny Saturday, so I had set my expectations for it to be busy. However, one of staff members undershot the wait time for 20 mins when we actually waited about 35 mins. A better estimate would have allowed us the to opportunity decide whether or not we wanted to stay to wait that long. And then when we were notified that our table was ready we had to wait an additional 5 minutes and ultimately just decided to sit at the first available seating which was outside. Our service started out fine at first we even placed our food in immediately. After about 45 minutes waiting, we still hadn't received our food and when we did, it came in pieces. My sister's pancake was cold and came without her additional sides that come with the meal by the way, and when our server did finally bring out the rest of her food, he just placed the food on the table and didn't ask us any additional questions. The only time that we saw him was at the beginning, and when he brought out our water. I ended up just going to the host stand to pay for our food without our check because the heat was unbearable and at that point we had been there for almost 2 hours. I've worked in the service industry for years, so I know how this industry works and I always give my serving staff grace but this experience was absolutely ridiculous. Management, please do a better job at supporting your staff and checking in on your dining guest as I also noticed that other patrons who were sitting outside, we're having a difficult time locating their server as well when it came to their dining experience. read more

Food: fresh and delicious Ambiance: casual and clean Service: friendly and attentive I came here on a chill Sunday after church around 1:30 p.m. Overall, it a pleasant experience from beginning to end. First, it's within a shopping plaza with ample FREE parking. That's always a rare win in Atlanta. Albeit, they don't have reservations, but you can go on their website and join the waitlist while you're on the way there. I did that about 15 minutes before I arrived and was seated immediately. It was quite busy and full, but the service was still very calm, efficient and welcoming. They handled the crowd well with efficiency. We ordered our food and it didn't take long to be served. Maybe no more than 15 minutes. We got the gingerbread donut holes and the healthy turkey omelette. It was all hot, fresh and delicious. No complaints. The portions were generous and filling without being overwhelming. We left feeling satisfied but not stuffed. This is a great option for friends, family or just a peaceful solo meal. They have great options for everyone: vegetarians, vegans, meat lovers, healthy conscious, body builders/gym rats. Everyone can come here and find something they like that meets their dietary restrictions/preferences. This place is ideal for a group with various interests but all love good food and good service. read more

Pictures on here from owner don't say what the item is and I saw some that looked amazing. Yet, no loss on a star for that. Everything tasted amazing. I got my food wayyyy before my friend. Me not eating to wait for her became obvious to our waitress. She gave my friend a card for $20 off and I got a discounted meal. That was really awesome. Prices are a bit high for brunch, but brunch is all the rage so prices reflect popularity. I'm more of a "not a chain" brunch girl. Although I would definitely choose First Watch over most other options. Big thanks to our waitress. read more

Ellie's service was wonderful. Not sure why FW continues to market Vegan offerings as there is none with the exception of potatoes & fruit. Still a good place for Breakfast/Lunch with a mix of American & Tex-Mex AM options. The juice, smoothies & cocktail beverages are somewhat spectacular amongst the Brunchies. Seasonal menus on rotation. read more

Service: Took a while to be seated, even though there were clearly many tables open and available. Waitress was nice, although service was average. No silverware on the table, had to hunt down someone to help. One plate arrived minutes before the other two, a bit strange. Service should have been far better with the amount of people working. Ambiance: Nice location, weather added bonus. Everything was relatively clean. Table was unstable and caused some issues. Plenty of food still sitting on tables long after diners had left. Food: The food was fine. Nothing special. Avocado toast was extremely basic and probably not worth the price. Wrap was good but dripping in oil. Definitely some areas to clean up. read more

I met up with a friend for brunch at First Watch on a Saturday. I didn't realize this restaurant was a chain. It was my first time here, and it will be my last. I didn't mind that it took about an hour to get a table for two, but I thought it was pretty ridiculous that by the time we were seated, there were a few customers left and yet, it took 45 minutes to get our food. I ordered the Chickichanga, which was average. It included chicken, chorizo, green chilies, Cheddar and Monterey Jack, onions, and avocado. While the inside of the tortilla was decent, it was heavily topped with Vera Cruz sauce, which made it difficult for me to enjoy. I'll admit that the Purple Haze juice was delicious - albeit very sweet - but it wasn't special enough for me to return. read more

The ONLY reason I'm giving this 4 stars is because this particular time I came the service was not what is usually is other than that the food is amazing. The highlight plate of this visits was definitely the Tacos al pastor hash. It was amazing! It has a Mexican crema , cojita cheese , chorizo , potato's , avocado and I got my eggs scrambled. When I say this was so flavorful! It even came with tortillas on the side which was a great touch. The ambiance is nice and quaint. Kind of gives breakfast and your bougie grandparents house lol. The orange juice is always so fresh along with the different teas! I suggest the butterfly one! read more

I ordered classic eggs benedict. The first one was way under cooked and the waitress actually spilled it on the table as if it was water.

This was my first and last visit to First Watch Perimeter. I arrived to meet some friends for brunch and went to the website to see how long the wait was. The website said 20 minutes so I clicked Join the Waitlist. After I filled out my information it said the wait was 45 minutes to an hour. I was 30 minutes early to meet my friends so I continued but already was annoyed because that is very misleading. They have outdoor seating but none of it was being used. I am not entirely sure why as it was a really nice day. When I went inside to let the host know I was there, I noticed that not all the indoor seating was being used either. The noise level is kind of loud as it's just big open room. There's a juice bar in the back of the room. This is the type of place where you take your check to pay at the register at the end of the meal. When we were seated the first thing I noticed right away was garbage on one of the chairs. Secondly there are no sweetener options if you want coffee. Just sugar from what I could tell. Glad I carry Splenda in my purse lol. When we asked for half and half or cream because we didn't want to use the international delight mini moos that were sitting in a pile on the table, the server just brought more international delights. So I guess no actual cream. Milk would've even been better. One nice surprise was that there were brunch cocktails available on the menu. The menu on the website doesn't show this so we thought it was a dry restaurant. This is not the case. We all ordered. About 15 minutes later the server returns to tell two of us we need to pick something else because they are out of biscuits. Why did it take so long to hear this information? She didn't come prepared with menus and we then had to wait for her to bring them. So I was torn between the Farmhouse Skillet and the Monterrey Club sandwich. The sandwich came with the soup of the day. So I asked the server what the soup of the day was and she said "I don't know" and proceeded to stand there and look at me waiting for a response. I went with the Farmhouse and changed my eggs option from fried to scrambled because she said scrambled came with cheese. Because there was such a long delay in two of us hearing we had to reorder of course the other two friends got their food substantially sooner than we did. The server was very inattentive and didn't know answers to almost any question asked of her. When we received the checks my friend says I think I was charged for the cheese for your eggs. I said what do you mean? Not only were the checks mixed up but there was an up-charge of $1.99 for cheese to be added to the eggs even though she said the scrambled eggs came with cheese! My other friend asked if she was allowed to substitute her bacon for sausage and the waitress said sure but when checks came she was charged $2.59 for sausage and when we asked her about these things she said oops sorry you can't do that. I spoke to the manager later and suggested our server get additional training. I also had to ask for a to go box three times before a different server actually brought it. The food was ok but definitely was NOT a $30 breakfast. The cute part were the drinks. They come with the bottles as shown in my pics. This was NOT worth the wait or the drive from Cumming and I wouldn't recommend this place for anything. read more

Wow! This place is a gem!! Our server was great and took care of us as we had a party of 11, went way and beyond. Definitely great service. The food was amazing I had the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and they were delicious! I would definitely get those again. Everyone's food looked amazing as well. Glad we got there when we did as this place fills up fast. Great place to get together with friends and family. The staff were great and courteous. If I had one complaint it would be that it was a little chilly for me. Definitely going back when I'm in town again!!! read more

Dined for breakfast at this Dunwoody location in Atlanta. This cafe chain is open for breakfast and lunch 7am to 2:30pm 7 days a week. They offer a variety of health oriented food choices. I had the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with berries and lemon curd $11.69 and a cup of coffee. It was delicious and a real treat. They have bar seating, booths and tables. The service was fine. read more

The odor coming from the host completely ruined my experience. It was a strong, sour laundry smell -- like damp towels that sat too long without drying. It was so pungent that when I first walked in, I thought the entire restaurant smelled that way. But after being seated, I realized the odor was coming directly from the host, and every time he walked past my table, it hit me again. On top of that, my turkey sausage was served cold. My server was kind, but there's no reason a guest should be trying to eat through a smell that strong in a dining environment. I won't be returning unless the hygiene issues are addressed. read more

Stopped in for breakfast but wasn't able to eat. At least 5 servers and less than half the tables were occupied. 11 minutes with zero acknowledgement after the hostess.
