    Market Veggie Purple Haze
    Jocelyn Z.

    I always love a great b'fast or brunch at First Watch. I've visited many locations around the valley. I am excited about the new locations either just opening or coming to the Goodyear/Buckeye areas. This is a popular place. So I would recommend going on their website and sign up for the "Get in Line" waitlist. It sure helps not to have to stand in the heat when the weather gets warm. Always greeted with a smile and attentive servers. Since I am pretty much of a clean eater, I always look for the healthiest options. My usual go to is the Market Veggie sandwich. I also enjoy the Morning Meditation or Purple Haze drinks with a wellness shot.

    The service was great ! I just don't know if all first watch get their food from the same source. I moved to Avondale a year ago and this is my second time at this location and the food does not taste the same as the location I went to in Mesa . Also my bread was burnt :(

    Try the new sandwich it was good, but for some reason, the seasoned potatoes are literally in edible to eat their salted so bad. I don't know if they come preseason and then they add more seasoning but they are literally disgusting. That's how salted they are.

    First time at First Watch and it is everything people told us about. GOOD STUFF! Alicia our server is fantastic. Her service is beyond. The food we ordered is delicious. My fav is the Million Dollar Bacon, Million Dollar Potatoes, and Multigrain Pancakes. Everyone else hummed their food. Check out the menu. The food, drink choices are amazing. Ambience is the best for ALL; quite casual and comfortable. Definitely a bookmark for me

    Tri-Fecta

    We stopped in at about 815 AM on a Monday and it wasn't as busy as I thought it would be (now when we left - it was definitely packed!) the wait staff was great - very attentive. We ordered the trifecta (waffle, scrambled eggs and chicken apple sausage), and the biscuits and turkey gravy. Both were good. The chicken apple sausage was a bit dry though, but the rest was good. I would recommend both plates. The food came out quickly. The restaurant is clean and well maintained.

    We came to AZ for Spring training and wanted to have a traditional breakfast before heading back home to California and found First Watch on Yelp. We were blown away with how delicious EVERYTHING was. Melissa was our server and she was absolutely amazing! We told her we were from out of state and what she would recommend we have, her suggestion were on point. Melissa constantly checked in on us making sure we were ok. Honestly one of the best experiences I've had in a long time at a restaurant. If she isn't a team leader or supervisor she should be because her interactions with coworkers was also top tier, very empowering and supportive, truly one of a kind. I will definitely come back if ever in AZ again. Food reference, I ordered the the strawberry tres leches French toast and the biscuits and gravy and both items were finger licking good! Five stars in my book! Can't wait to come back! Thank you Melissa and thank you First Watch for making us feel welcomed and for your amazing customer service. In a world full of hate it really gives you hope that there are good/humble people out there.

    It is very rare to give 5 stars these days. First Watch is the example of why a 5 star rating must be given. The food is just amazing! The flavors, presentation and overall experience made my tummy so very happy. Our server Caleb should be given an award for his personality, attentiveness, patience and kindness. What a wonderful human. The young lady who assisted him was also very sweet, sorry that I did not get her name. Love the esthetics of the restaurant! Farm meets industrial was the feel of it for me and I loved it. Due to its clear popularity, we waited a bit but it was well worth it!!!! We wish that we had a location in California, but we will be back soon I hope. Soooo good!!

    Came on Saturday morning and jt wasn't super busy. We had a baby stroller with us which apparently is not very accommodated here. The greeter Ty made me and my family feel absolutely horrible and as if we were an inconvenience. He was out of line and rude about the stroller, saying it will block the way and such. Honestly where we sat there was so much space for it, but we already felt so unwelcome that we just figured another way out. Pretty much ruined my day. Why are you being rude in the morning, and to your customers?! Our server was Alicia and she definitely turned our experience with Ty 180 degrees. She is so professional and sweet. Thank you for that!!!! Please train Ty to be more friendly to customers with strollers.

    Broken water glass that server never came back to let know we need a new one.

    Just moved here from LA and was so excited to see that First Watch was in my neighborhood. Unfortunately I am extremely disappointed, nothing compared to the First Watch in Chandler. First off they wanted to see my dogs service dog tag? Odd but ok I guess I can let that slide, but wait time was twice as long as they stated it would take, server was extremely slow in service, and 30+minutes after ordering the food was cold. I ate it because I'm starving. Last water glass was broken but server wouldn't have known because she never came back to the table. I don't really like to right reviews, but this was a terrible experience for a restaurant that I've been to somewhere else and had an amazing experience. I hope this place gets it together? Maybe it's new?

    Lemon Ricotta Pancakes
    Stephanie V.

    This is my second time visiting a First Watch restaurant. We visited the Avondale location for a quick late brunch. Service is friendly and we were seated immediately. We asked for a booth and were given one by the window. There is table and booth seating, and also some patio seating. There were quite a few flies around us and that was really my only complaint. It may have been because we were by the window. Today we ordered: - Coffee - I love how our waitress left the carafe at the table so I could refill as needed. Creamers and sugar are also part of the table setting. - Unsweet Iced Tea - Lemon Ricotta Pancakes to share - these pancakes are amazing! Probably some of the best I've had. They were light and fluffy inside and I could see the ricotta filling in some parts, but the edges were golden and crispy. I happen to love lemon curd so the dollop of lemon curd and powdered sugar sprinkled over sliced strawberries on top really made this a delightful treat to share. Also, a warm carafe of maple syrup is brought with the pancakes! Five stars - Omelette - Hubs ordered the omelette with a side of potatoes and ate all of it. Everything was really good. - Pick 2: 1/2 Sandwich & Salad - I chose the roast beef and havarti half sandwich with side of horseradish dip and the warm kale, berry, and nut salad topped with sliced warm chicken. Everything was delicious. I actually ate my entire meal. This salad really impressed me and I might order a full salad next time I come in.

    Second time going here, but first time in Arizona. The iced coffee was amazing and our serve was so nice. Prices are great and the food was good. Definitely recommend this place and would come back.

    Bacado Omelet

    Went for a late breakfast on a Thursday and it was packed. This place is always busy but the wait wasn't long. Our waiter was kind and efficient but not a lot of attentiveness as it was busy and seemed like not as many waiters. I ordered an omelette and a lavender drink. I enjoyed the freshness of the food and tastiness of my drink. The open floor plan is nice and the barnyard decor is cute. I didn't like how the bar area/ outdoor space had an open door which let bugs enter the restaurant so I did spend some time swatting flies away from my food. But as far as my experience at this First Watch was decent and the food was on point.

    The Dining Floor. Outside patio seating available.

    I missed the Grand Opening of the Goodyear First Watch and was so bummed out. My daughter went and raved about her experience. So today I was out in town and decided to give them a go. We went to the Avondale location by Westgate. It was Outstanding. If you want to get my attention pay attention to the details. Starting with service. Our server (Alina) brought her "A" game. Greeting us asking for drink orders and provided menu recommendations. She was good. Coffee carafe was delivered and a water bottle. Orders were made. Food took a little while to come out but the place was Slammed. It gave us time to chit chat anyways. Once our food arrived we were both pleased with our orders. Everything was Hot Fresh n cooked to order. I was next to the open kitchen so I could actually watch. I like being able to see the kitchen in action. Big Flavor on both dishes. Portion sizes were good. Prices were evenly paired. Over all a very good Brunch stop. We will definitely pay another visit. Oh! And the coffee-tinie was pretty bomb.it was 1100 don't judge! It was needed. lol!

Coldwater grows, bakes, and serves its own food using local produce from its urban garden and ingredients sourced from small-scale farmers and producers to craft scratch-made meals, hand-shaped breads, and brewed drinks. They are also a worker-owned cooperative. Coldwater is housed inside a cute and cozy house. There's plenty of seating. In addition to coffee, breakfast, pastries, and more, they also sell produce and baked goods. I was greeted right away. The staff was friendly and helpful. I ordered an oat milk latte with honey and cinnamon powder as well as an eggs, herbs, and cheese bollo. I learned that a bollo is a hand-stuffed soft brioche dough filled with eggs, local meats, and seasonal ingredients. It was served warm and was delicious! My latte was also wonderful. Highly recommend checking out this great, locally-owned coffeehouse!

This place is always busy and it's an old house so, it's creaky when everyone walks in already and you can hear that. I'm not sure why they need a bell to scare the jeebies out of us. Maybe I'm just sensitive . Really sweet shop though .

We waited…read more20 minutes to be seated which was fine even though they had plenty of open tables available. Staff were friendly when seated and ordering. We ordered chips and Gaucamole and were given something else instead. When my husband asked about it the server said we were given the wrong thing but we said it was fine and we would just keep it. We ordered food, my husband a breakfast burrito and me the chilaquiles. I had asked the server which sauce he would recommend as they offered three, and he had said the red was spicy so I chose it as I love spicy foods. It took 35 minutes for our food to come out. Once it came, my chilaquiles had green sauce on them, I stated that I had ordered red sauce and the server picked up the plate to take it back and got a little attitude with me and said I'm pretty sure you said green but ok. I then told him I'd keep it if it was an issue but he continued to walk away with the plate. He came back shortly after with red sauce and I thanked him. However, I was disappointed with my meal because I had also ordered my eggs over medium (cooked whites/runny yokes) and they were basically hard boiled with cooked yokes. The red sauce also was not even spicy but lacked any flavor at all honestly. So I was pretty disappointed. As soon as we left after eating and paying my stomach felt off, I got sick when I got home and stayed sick all night. I was fine before coming here and hadn't eaten anything else that day so I know it was from eating here. Needless to say we won't be going back here. If you want good brunch and especially good chilaquiles go to Park Cafe not too far from this place they have the best I've had so far in the area.
