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.

Chai Pudding

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.

Biscuit with eggs and potatoes from a carryout

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.

We went for breakfast on a weekend. We were seated right away. Our server was very accommodating and friendly. The staff ensured our order was not cross contaminated with any allergens. We all enjoyed our meals. Food allergies can be stressful but we did not have to worry about our meal!

10/10 this cinnamon cold brew rum coffee was everything! It was delicious and hit the spot on a Sunday morning. The service was great and the weather was even better. I didn't know this location had a back area until I saw a couple of people sitting outside.

Carmel coffee

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!!

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.

Harvest Turkey omelette
Brittany D.

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.

Chicken quinoa power bowl
Stacy G.

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.

We had to make a decision quickly when we were pivoting, and when we came across the great reviews and photos of the food. we didn't think twice about checking to see if we could make it happen. When we arrived, the staff was already preparing our table, so we only had to wait a few minutes before being seated. The space is pretty tight, and you're going to be close to the tables near you, but we were able to sit comfortably. Our server came over quickly to take our drink orders, and afterward she came back to answer any questions. Most of the food was ready at the same time. We appreciated that it came out as it was ready and wasn't left sitting. And everyone enjoyed the food! The only "complaint" one of my friends had was that she thought there was a little too much sauce in her shrimp and grits dish. She felt that the sauce, while it tasted great, overpowered the dish and she would've liked to taste more of the grits flavor. All in all, I'd say we'll likely be back to try something else on the menu.

Typically I research and take a peek at the menu, photos, etc. but I didn't this time. Peters Street has ample street parking and a few lots for a fee. Just check the signs before you leave your car. The entry is unassuming because there's so many little places on this street but once you enter you're in another time! The medieval theme is super cool - a Barron greeted us at the door. Seating is casual - find a spot to sit and then order from the digital menu at the door. Orders are taken at the counter but entrees and drinks are brought to your table. The owner Josh was extremely accommodating! He gave us some tastings of coffee, tea and the French toast. 10/10! I personally ordered the Blueberry Matcha and a Bowl (done keto). Everyone's meal looked amazing and not a crumb was left. We left with some of the canned whiskey drinks - Strawberry Whiskey Sour and Kentucky Mule made with bourbon. Josh said best enjoyed mixed together! The photo opps, food, drinks and aesthetics are so good here. Only comment is that the tables are pub or cafe style and best for small groups or just takeover a section like we did. Enjoy!

That said, the aesthetic feels less Buckingham Palace and more whimsical London antique shop -- charming & eclectic. I ordered the blueberry lavender matcha and a breakfast plate. The menu names were definitely on brand, but not quite catchy enough for me to remember them later. Both were solid, though, and hit the spot. Service was a highlight. The cashier really leaned into the accent and took the time to thoroughly explain the menu, which made the whole experience feel more immersive and welcoming. Parking was easy on an early weekday afternoon -- always a win. The space works well for small parties, but be prepared: tables are small and seating is close together. One tip: avoid sitting upstairs in Eden. It's noticeably warmer than the rest of the restaurant, and you'll likely leave smelling like breakfast. Overall, a fun, themed spot with great service. But I don't think I'll be back.

We made reservations for the 6 of us, and upon arrival we were greeted by the friendly staff. There was a line of people waiting to be seated, so we were concerned about having to wait since we were heading to the airport. We had a brief waiting period before being seated. Jasmine D, our server was prompt and very personable. The menu was full of delectable choices for brunch or lunch. We ordered the Very Berry French Toast, Chix & Pancakes & bacon, Jerk Chicken & Sweet Potato Waffles, and a Kids Cheese Scramble & bacon and grits. Everything was absolutely delicious! Our server was attentive and patient with us the entire time we were there. If you're looking for great food, a great welcoming down home ambiance and are in the area, The Breakfast Boys is a great place to go, but make reservations!

The café and the cantina next door are physically connected and share a patio, but the café side has a calmer, cozier vibe. They've also got a little school‑store area with Latino handmade and authentic merch, which gives the space a unique touch. I went for the lunch special: chile relleno + fish tacos. Flavor‑wise, the food lands right between authentic Mexican and Tex‑Mex -- not trying too hard to be either, just doing its own thing. Fish Taco -- 9.2/10 Super solid. Fresh, well‑seasoned, and even better after I adjusted the garnishes to my liking. Chile Relleno -- 7/10 They use a four‑cheese blend, which was a bit overwhelming for me, and the batter was on the harder side. Still enjoyable, just different from the traditional style. Chips & Salsa -- 9.5/10 (11/10 with the spicy add‑on!) Do yourself a favor and ask for the habanero crisps on the side. Mix those in and it becomes elite. Red Velvet Cheesecake -- 8.5/10 Rich, decadent, and a must if you've got a sweet tooth. And I have to shout out Charlie, who was holding down the entire café by herself. Friendly, patient, and on top of everything. She made the experience even better. Would definitely stop by again next time in town. Would recommend if youre in the area.
