This is one of my favorite breakfast places that I've missed so much during coronavirus. They have a salmon frittata that is so good. Their daily muffins are also delicious, and you can't go wrong with a breakfast sandwich. I especially like their fresh juices as well. read more

I love First Watch. Excellent breakfast and lunch menus with really innovative and modern/progressive/unique spins on traditional menu items for breakfast and lunch. It's like your spunky, fresh neighborhood eatery with more healthy and higher quality ingredients. read more

Extremely long wait. I joined the waitlist before leaving the house at 11:32 am. We weren't seated until after 3pm. I had to come and confirm before I was actually placed on the list, so what is the point of joining the list. The hostess was rude when I checked in to see how long the wait would be, he just kept telling me he didn't know. The FOOD was subpar! My Omelette only had the fillings in the middle, the edges of my omelette were only egg. My moms eggs were cold! & the pancake was disgusting! We ordered the Bacavdo- and my mom had the farmhouse skillet- with a cold egg on top we shared the pancake which was over cooked if I need to repeat it was disgusting! & she gave us the wrong bill twice ! read more

The food was amazing. They had Large portions and healthy options. My pick 10 yr old loved they waffles.

Amazing service and food!! Great staff and coffee for brunch and very kid friendly. Definitely recommend it for others!!!

Great breakfast/brunch spot. Highly recommend the pork carnitas omelet, millionaires bacon, and the kale tonic! read more

Go-to for business or when family or friends are in town. Spectacular breakfasts! Been probably half a dozen times and only ever had one issue. It was corrected quickly by staff (Aurora). read more

Well we were off to an awful start from go. I checked in online and was told it was a 20-30 min wait that turned into an hour an a half. Users be warned the online check in clearly means nothing. When we got here 10 min later, I walked up to the gent w the iPad and was told we had to wait our turn to check where we were in line. Then we observed another group walk in and ask if they could check their place and he checks for them, then seats them in the middle of an area that could have sat a larger party. Meanwhile the girl was still futzing w a couple who had checked in to the wrong location and the line was now about 10 deep. We were finally told 20 min - again. Over an hour later I get the text and the gent tells the girl to seat us. As she's walking another group walks past us and tries to take our table and the hostess starts to giggle and says oops there are two "Diane's what are the odds?" It was very unprofessional especially since she acknowledged me at the hostess stand and then started to seat the other group anyway. I felt bad for the girl because she clearly had no idea how to run the front of a house. That said, once we sat down my husband wanted a screwdriver (OJ and vodka) the girl said "Even tho we have OJ and Vodka we aren't allowed to make that because it's not on our drink menu." What?! That seems crazy. We move on and order. My daughter ordered biscuits and gravy w sunny side up eggs that came with hard egg yolks, my husband ordered a roast beef melt that had hardly any meat on it and one guest ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes which described the ricotta mixed into the batter, but came piled on top of the pancakes. Net, net we ate the food, enjoyed each other's company and left. We will never come back. The presentation of the food wasn't even worth taking pictures. read more

The owner needs to be ashamed and know this place is not going to last with the current staff in place. First, there is no excuse for the manager on duty the morning of 6/26 9:59am to use the F word when a customer is actually trying to apologize and explain a situation regarding one of her staff members. A staff member was triggered by me waiting inside the store waiting to pick up my food. I walked into the store looking for my order since it said it would be ready at 9:54. I walked in at 9:56 and didn't see it on the table. I could see into the kitchen that someone was packing a togo order so I waited an additional 20 secs. He came walking up with two bags and a drink carrier, so I asked if it was my order. He rudely said I needed to wait outside. Through my mask I apologized and said I didn't read the sign. I tired to explain that I was only in the completely empty restaurant for 30-45 secs but he didn't want to hear it. He promptly told me to wait outside next time and refused to listen to me. He's tone was rude and condescending, but he didn't even want to hear me. After I went out to my car to leave with my food, I noticed the same gentlemen leaning in, mask around his neck to speak/take an order from a couple seated on the patio. So, what's his problem with me being in the restaurant for 30-45 secs to check on my order with my mask on when he speaks to people within 2 feet without a mask? I would love an explanation for the attitude. I tired to apologize for being wrong not once but twice. I would have gotten out my car to say something but I was fuming and it more than likely wouldn't have been words being exchanged. So, I left and drove home to call and asked to speak to the manager. Once she got on the phone I started to apologize for not seeing their small sign for pickup instructions. When I began to mention how I was treated, she refused to let me speak and kept trying to interrupt me. After a few back and forth of her not wanting to listen to me by trying to speak o we me and having to repeat myself, I raised my voice, maybe I yelled, I'm not sure at this point because I was getting furious trying to speak to a manger. She too must have had the same cup of attitude as her staff member because she said, "don't you f!&$ing yell at me!" And hung-up on me! If I were to speak to my customers, business partners or stakeholders in this manner, I'm certain I'd lose my job. This probably isn't the first nor the last time she's lost control. Is this the leadership the staff has to follow? If so, I will not support this establishment. I messed up and wanted to apologize. I also wanted to address my concern that a staff member had an issue with me being in the restaurant with a mask on for 30-45 seconds looking for my pick up order while the same individual proceeded to speak to customers less than 2ft away without a mask on. I should've taken a photo but unlike these individuals, I have a higher emotional intelligence awareness and didn't want the situation to escalate. Maybe it was because they had a bad morning but don't curse at me and hang up. You need customers more than they need you. Also there's plenty of other establishments who have been around longer, serve quality food and provide professional/friendly service with respect. Thanks for making me regret spending the time getting breakfast for my wife and I. The food was good but the manager makes me want to vomit. read more

Wonderful food, wonderful service, wonderful ambiance. They have great healthy juice drinks and a diverse menu that you can't go wrong whatever you choose. I was surprised to find out this was a chain! Well, they're doing something right!! read more

I have had many great experiences with First Watch. This time was the worst one I've ever had. First of all the service was terrible and it took almost 40 minutes for us to get our food. I was already mad about that and then I get my food and the portions are extremely small. I ordered one of the new barbacoa quesadillas which came with only two and they had no cheese and were barely even filling for me. I expect to get my moneys worth when I eat somewhere and get a hefty amount that I feel satisfied with. My pancakes were burnt and un appetizing which was one of the items I was excited for. I don't write reviews at all but I just had to this time. I hope management see's this and does something about it or else business is not going to look to good in the future read more

The staff are very nice and friendly . The food is excellent. Thank you for being part of our community!!

Really great food. Everything I have order is great . I will send friends and family to eat there.

Go here all the time, service is great most of the time. Food is great! Many options to choose from and definitely would recommend to others. read more

Ate breakfast there it was really delicious. Staff were pleasant and food served hot without long wait.

Delicious. Great breakfast food with generous portions. Could use a few more healthy vegetarian options or indications of what could be made without meat on menu. read more

First Watch food is very bland & gives ihop atmosphere. If you enjoy tasteless food then this is definitely the place for you.

Great food, intolerable wait...showed up for Sunday brunch, understandable that things are busy. Quoted 30-45 min for a table for 4, were seated an hour later. Waited another 40 min for food after ordering. Got the burrito, veggie sandwich, yogurt bowl, and kids French Toast....again: really good food. Nice wait staff...too long to eat, yo. Might be back maybe but not in a hurry to do so haha. read more

You can't order over the phone for to go only online so if it's not working you won't be able to order take out. You can't call and order over the phone either no one will answer and when the automated message answer it says you have to order online. So I guess I'll order from Dozens they always answer for to go orders. read more

Fabulous food..........EXTREMELY noisy!!!! If they could bring the volume down, this place would out shine everybody! read more

Amazing food, great staff!! Little hidden gem! Heard about this place through a friend, decided to try it and let me say it was absolutely delicious! We have went every weekend and haven't waited more than 5 minutes for a table! Great place read more

This was some of the best breakfast food I've had and Denver has great breakfast. Great combination of healthy + tasty.

I was looking forward to try this place for a long time and my experience was not so well. The bus boys did a great job but The waiting staff seems unprepared or unorganized. We did get our food at a decent time however we did not get our whole order. I ask for some pepper, and I did not receive that at all but no problem. The main thing was One of my kids did not receive their water or food at all. Three of us receive our food and the waitress said that she would be back with the rest. 30 minutes later, We end up just sharing but the whole point of eating out was for us to not cook at home. We couldn't even remind our waitress about our food because she was no where to be found. On top of that, when checking out, they tried to charge us for food we did not receive. read more

Super impressed with the atmosphere and quality of food. Decided to check the place out as my girlfriend was famished and needed food immediately- this was the only brunch spot around without a wait. We were pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the Blue Booster, which was fantastic. For food she got the Vanilla Chai Latte Pancakes and I got the Quinoa Power Bowl and Million Dollar Bacon. All three dishes were incredible. Her pancakes were cooked perfectly and the fruit was fresh. The quinoa and kale in my meal was delicious and complimented with the sausage and mushrooms was a perfect pairing. The portions were filling (I'm 6'4", 275lbs) which was another pleasant surprise. The atmosphere was great, it was busy but we were able to have a conversation without feeling like we were yelling. And the Million Dollar Bacon- I never thought anyone would come close to Bacon Social House for how bacon should taste, but First Watch killed it! Will definitely be back again! read more

SLOW!!!! It took an hour to get seated, 10 minutes for a server, and 20 minutes for food... with 12 empty tables! Noisy... the speakers are in a metal ceiling so all you hear is cacophony. Skip the "million dollar bacon".... it's just bacon with syrup poured over it and cracked pepper. And it is NOT the bacon that comes with meals.. that is just ordinary every day bacon. They served my toast completely dry and when I asked for butter tget gave it to me, but said it's their "policy" to serve bacon with jam but no butter! They offered gluten free toast... but their toaster isn't gluten free... I mean come on, you could buy a gf toaster for 20$! Extremely disappointing. read more

It's great to see quality breakfast places opening along the Havana Corredor in west Aurora! The restaurant has a great modern farmhouse vibe. My husband and I both had yummy omelettes. Mine with salad, his with potatoes. Pototes are the perfect cottage fries. I had one pumpkin pancake instead of toast. The pumpkin flavor was delicate and perfectly spiced. I will try the maple syrup on it next time. He had the artisan toast. It was thick and chewy as it should be. And the flight of bacon with syrup was spot on delish! We will be back. Our waitress, Amanda was helpful, knowledgeable and delightful. Thank you First Watch for coming to Aurora! read more

Food good. MAJOR ISSUES WITH COMPUTER ON SPLIT TABS. Not automatically split, computer miscalculated tips, totals , etc. Management said they knew there was a problem, 'attempt, to tell all credit card users, & split tabs. I've eaten at First Watch in various locations. My fault for not asking for a receipt each time. I don't tip 37% as a standard on total, taxes & my friends tip. read more

Great fresh ingredients. Loved the options for low carb meals. Place was packed, but with the waitlist option on Yelp it wasn't a long wait.

Food was good but the music was loud. I asked if it could be turned down before we were even seated. We were taking our 94-yr-old Mother-in-law for brunch. Was told that the music had to stay at that level, per corporate. Asked our server and she said she had no control over it. Conversation was very much affected. Stupid policy. Will never go back, even though the menu and food were very good. read more

I have been a Samm's 3 guy for years and loved sitting at the bar to grab a quick meal but now you can't even get in there without waiting at least an hour even if you are a loyal customer. I have not been to first watch a few times and never had to wait. The food is healthier and the cocktail list is great. If you are tired of waiting for Samm's head on over you won't be disappointed. read more

First time in, happy to have found this spot. Cute little patio. Food was good. Service was fine. We will definitely go back for breakfast. I enjoyed the turkey gravy and biscuits and I'm a biscuit and gravy snob. read more

The Wifey and I always enjoy this place! Our go to are the Farm Stand Breakfast Tacos. The coffee is good, pancakes and french toast are good if cooked perfectly and not over cooked, can be a little inconsistent. The seasonal cinnamon roll made my eyes roll behind my head, delicious! Thank you for that recommendation Israel! Speaking of Israel, he was pleasant, professional, personable, and efficient. Israel is the reason for the perfect rating. Great service was provided by Israel, thank you! read more

Girlfriends brunch here and we enjoyed the food but not as much their concept. It was nice to check-in online which was helpful but having to take your bill and pay at the front wasn't very personable. Our service was friendly but not as attentive as we would have liked. We wanted more drinks but we had to flag down someone each time. I ordered my poached egg over easy and specifically said, "I want the yoke running, no firmness". It came out firm. I will give it another chance as they have a patio and allow well behaved dogs which is a bonus. read more

Easily the worst service I've had and I tried giving them a second chance after the first time was so poorly. Open tables left and right that no one can bus and they have an hour in a half wait. This time tried picking up food instead and waited an additional 15 minutes after my pick up time and told the hostess I wanted a refund and I want to go somewhere else and he told me I'd have to go through their online service? Yup I'll wait for my food even longer than I should just take my money but I won't be back. read more

Horrible food, horrible service! The girl only came to check on us twice! Not worth the trip

We had really good service from Deklan who seemed to be doing a great job rushing around to lots of guests and making sure they were being taken care of. I got the blueberry muffin top griddle cakes and they were pretty good but I wish I got something else. My fiancé said the skillet they had was one of the best. We will try it again sometime. read more

Great vibes and atmosphere! Food is amazing and staff is pleasant. Definitely recommend

Great for our neighborhood! Had the trifecta- traditional but yet deliciously satisfying. April was very friendly and sweet! We will put this place in our rotation! read more

MANAGEMENT PLEASE READ: I arrived at the bar for lunch today and it was clear after sitting there for 6+ minutes that no one was going to come and get my drink. Several waiters walked by and didn't even make eye contact. I was very hungry, so I got up to see if the cashier could help. She was great, but I shouldn't have to run around the restaurant to get service. Any good restaurant tells waiters to get to each customer quickly, not when they feel like it. It's basic customer service. Asked for spinach with my Eggs Benedict. Spinach that is partly "mushy" is known for having the potential for food poisoning (ecoli, norovirus, etc). This spinach was partly mushy and had an off taste. When I got home, my stomach started grumbling. Since I did not feel like I had a waiter, I gave my tip to the cashier. read more
