    Biscuits & Turkey Sausage Gravy With Eggs
    Shannon G.

    I have never had a bad or a mediocre breakfast from First Watch. Always, always have had the most delicious breakfast. I am not a coffee drinker but every so often I do get a coffee and it is so darn good absolutely enjoyed it. My server Joshua, was so kind. He poured my coffee for me, and left the carafe of coffee for me to refill my own. He let me look over the menu for a few minutes and then came back. I gave him my order. Biscuits and eggs. I also added a side of bacon. Only a few minutes went by and my food was sitting in front of me, piping hot. I can't even describe how delicious everything was. The biscuits, who ever makes these is a genius. How are they so fluffy inside with just a very slight crunch on the outside then they're smothered in turkey sausage gravy. It's epic. Mind blowing. Bacon, that's cooked to perfection. There are people who like crispy bacon, and then there are people who like it done right. And First Watch does it right. It's crispy, but not crunchy crispy. Still a little soft and chewy. Eggs, I asked for fried over medium, and that's exactly how they came out. Soft, a little runny, but not too runny. Perfect. I eat eggs daily and they were cooked just like I cook them at home. The hash brown potatoes were great too. Firm and crisp on the outside but firm/soft inside. They didn't fall apart when I stuck my fork in them. They still held together nicely. Was pretty quiet this morning. The day after Christmas and it was pretty early still when I got there. I was trying to figure out how to do a Google review. And Joshua was so kind to help me. I think because I've done one before a long time ago, I can't redo a review unless I delete my old one and write a new one. I'm more of a Yelper reviewer. So here I am, giving another 5 star review update. Joshua was a delight. Thank you for helping me and giving such great service.

    1/2 - From traditional egg platters to omelets and healthy menu choices, First Watch is a sure bet for breakfast in Austin. The food is consistently fresh and delicious -- an easy five stars for flavor and quality. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and speedy with pouring coffee when sitting down. Where it falls a bit short is in attention to detail where most true diners shine. Small things like empty sugar packets, used plastic creamers, and a bit of trash left around the plate kept it from being a perfect five-star experience. With a little more focus on those finishing touches, it would easily be one of the best restaurant-diner in town.

    Strawberry tres leches french toast

    My friend and I split the chicken pesto quinoa bowl and the strawberry tres leches french toast. I was pleasantly supprised at how much I enjoyed the chicken pesto bowl and I thought it was seasoned well. I wish the strawberry tres leches french toast was a bit creamier and less airy though. There was plenty of seating inside and it wasn't too busy so we were seated immediately.

    Biscuits and gravy

    Food is always delicious! Have been here 3 times now and the servers are extremely kind and accommodating. Lost my phone in the restroom and the waiter that went in after me saved my phone at the front desk! Place can seem a bit crowded sometimes but have always gf a good experience

    Good morning Gorgeous..

    the Star rating for this visit,It's strictly related to the shrimp and grits plate. The service was quick, fast and great.But the food was not Okay, here's my rating of the new dish that first watch put out, which would be the shrimp and grits plate. being a Southerner, shrimps and grits is something That's you indulge in every so often not every day, not every week, sometimes not every month. But when you do indulge in shrimp and grits, you want it to be immaculate, you want it to be flavorful, you want it to be busting with season. Well, first watch this will be the first time that I will rate a dish from you all with two thumbs down. This dish taste it as if someone cooked it in someone church's basement with limited access to seasoning. The presentation of the food was too much. You couldn't see the grits because of all of the extracurricular vegetation that was surrounding the grits, and covering the grits and hiding the grits.. This is a southern dish. This is a dish that you do not put on a menu unless you know you can really come with it. I'm going to take this as a trial era and give this dish another try. If it's still around in a couple of months and see if it's been improved, and also to see if you actually listen to your customers Recommendations. I took a loss on this.I felt like I wasted money. reviews like this can only help to improve the business. You gotta have customers who tell you the truth. When you're good, we'll let you know when you're good when you bet. We'll let you know that you're bad

    Elevated Egg Sandwich, Pesto Chicken Quinoa Bowl
    Diana S.

    I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about this place so I went in with very low expectations. The food was pretty good! I enjoyed the breakfast sandwhich with the chicken sausage. The place looked and felt very clean and service was attentive though I will say it took almost an hour to get our food on a slow Tuesday morning. Other than that it was good and would come again!

    Good menu with a nice variety of options. I especially appreciate the wide range of healthy choices, including plenty for vegetarians, like the bowls and other lighter dishes.

    Million Dollar Bacon
    Celeste N.

    Came here a few times and it has always been consistently good. I usually start off my meal with some coffee and move into a juice. I love the different options they have for your meal (breakfast and brunch menu all day). I highly recommend the million dollar bacon if you like syrup on your bacon at home and also the pancakes!

    Brunch time
    Greg H.

    We returned as our start to our Staycation. I tried the breakfast tacos with cajun chicken and chorizo with black beans. Side of Chicken sausage patties and ham. The chicken sausage was amazing as usual. The tacos were large, stuffed to overflowing but kind of bland. If the chicken or chorizo hahad spice you couldn't taste it. The ham was also good. Shana tried the black beans as she prefers them and they were ok. She got fresh market veggie oomelet and stated it was delightful and that the eggs were fluffy af. The staff was pleasant and fast. Less Christmas decor at this place then others. The alcohol is VERY limited so keep that in mind. It is usually busy but we got lucky and had a less busy time. The last visit didn't go as well but this one and previous ones before that did.

    Chile Chorizo
    Gretchen M.

    I got Chile Chorizo Omelet, it was a perfect breakfast combo. A bit of salad, savory toast and delicious Omelet. Our server (Brittney) moved quick like a lightning. Tip: You can get in line on their website.

    Bacon
    Owen M.

    I expect 3 things from a breakfast joint: eggs, bacon, and a view of McDonalds. First watch had all three! This place is a consistently good breakfast or brunch spot that is always lively and friendly, with basic breakfast dishes as well as some interesting pancakes and juices. First Watch has good service, and is a great spot if you are looking for a weekend breakfast or brunch without having to cook or clean.

Today we both wanted the biscuits with gravy and so we asked for just that! The service is as usual very prompt and courteous and our 2 plates came out fast and hot. We had each ordered the scrambled eggs soft- (so juicy) and they sadly were not as expected. The gravy was just barely enough to not even cover the biscuits- and it was very tasty, so we asked for more, and were billed for an additional side of gravy. Again the side of gravy that was provided and billed for, was very small. So there's room for improvement there. We enjoyed our meal but definitely would have enjoyed it more if more gravy had been used! Oh I forgot to mention that one of us ordered the stack of pancakes foster as an add on and they were good. Idk if the pancakes arrived hot, but by the time we got to try them they were very lukewarm. But the flavor was good. Overall, today it was average to good food: room for improvement! Enjoy!

    I absolutely enjoyed Cafe Du Bliss and their menu was superb! Let's get into it!…read more As a coffee and matcha enthusiast, I was so excited to stumble across this place. Their menu, is unlike any other I have seen in the Austin area. It's unique, well crafted, and intentional. Now here's the fun part, that creativity has translated quite well into some of the most well tasting drinks in Austin. Corn Cream Matcha latte: The minute I saw this on the menu I knew I had to get it. I have seen corn matcha and lattes in California many of times, but never in Austin. A corn matcha or lattes is one of those drinks that is a challenge. You can either totally miss the corn flavor or overdo it. I think Cafe Du Bless gave me the perfect ratio and this drink was so yum. Give me 3 to go please. Earl grey matcha cloud: Their matcha cloud is so fluffy-as a cloud usually comes. But here's the thing can we please compliment it's perfect whip and the green on these matcha's! In regard to the earl grey taste itself, it was so well infused. Banana latte: Okay so as we all know banana flavors got as popular as strawberry last summer. I love a banana latte, but it's fair to say that even if a banana flavor is easily accomplished it's also hard to strike a balance, too bring consistency, and still allow the espresso to come through. Once upon a time, Disneyland released a drink called the Banoffee, it was a hit! I absolutely think Cafe Du Bliss came close to that trend with their banana latte. All of these drinks and I also must compliment their superb service. The girl who took my order was so sweet and I had questions about their drinks and she was so kind in her customer care. I will absolutely be back. They have a sweet potato latte and a black sesame latte I need to try.

    This delightful cafe makes me feel as though we're really in Seoul!…read moreIt's a small interior with seating and a walk-up ordering counter (ample outdoor seating). They're an extremely busy cafe and it's not hard to figure out why. Even when there's a bit of a line, orders are received efficiently and timely. It's not a bad wait time and it's worth it knowing you're getting the most amazing treats and drinks. Service was happy, friendly, efficient, & top-notch. The menu is overwhelming but in a delicious way. Overwhelming in that I want everything on it. Always. However, I went with one of my favorite treats on the planet, taiyaki! Ok, we actually got five. One to share onsite and the rest to take home for later. We got two Nutella, two custard, and one cheese. I've had taiyaki from many, many different places and Cafe Du Bliss is in my top 3 favorites. The pastry had the right flakiness and flavor and there was no skimping on fillings. Super yum. Drinks: So many amazing matcha combo choices (& MUCH more). I opted for a strawberry slushie that was sweet and refreshing. Nothing beats fresh berries in an iced beverage. My boyfriend had the matcha & chocolate latte iced. Had a couple of sips...perfect matcha to chocolate ratio. The flavors were well balanced and tasty. Perfectly refreshing drinks (& treats) on a hot & sunny Austin day. Thank you, Cafe Du Bliss...we love you!
