First Watch is always a great experience no matter which location I go to. Staff is super friendly and quick. What I did love about this particular location is that they offer outside seating, not just indoor. It is a bit crowded on weekends so I would suggest going early unless you are okay with waiting. We waited about 15-20 mins on a Saturday morning - not too bad. What I also love about First Watch is the variety of coffee creamers - and they have stevia. They have a great variety of breakfast and lunch options. I usually do the Avocado Toast but I had the healthy turkey omelette this time. It was delicious! And the toast they have here is SO good. read more

Went for a weekend breakfast and had exceptional service from Erin and the rest of the staff. It was a busy morning but that didn't stop our server from giving us great service and ultimately making our experience there such a delight! I got the carnitas breakfast burrito and it did not disappoint either. This restaurant is always my favorite breakfast spot. read more

Staff did everything they could to seat us comfortably and as quick as they could. The food was so yummy. Definitely going back.

This is a great brunch spot. I ordered something seasonal. It was a rainbow toast with a type of cheese base and fruits on top. It was beautiful and delicious! read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

boy oh boy... I really don't get it. I don't get the popularity of this place... I don't get the following of loyal customers this place has... I was here a year ago and thought the food was bland and boring. I also thought the decor was dated (even though it's not old, just badly designed). Service was fine. Not hard to figure out, I had no interest in returning. We're back... and why? We returned because we had a gift card from a friend... you guessed it... "a loyal customer". Before I criticize, the food isn't atrocious but at this price point there are better options serving up flavorful food and a far more comfortable atmosphere. So how was the First Watch the second time around... service was okay (not very friendly but efficient) decor still feels dated (but clean) food still blah no real changes in my opinion. read more

Five stars for the simple fact that the estimated wait was 20 minutes and I was seated in only 5. I got the TRIFECTA with chicken sausage and subbed eggs for the potatoes and it was above average breakfast food (everyone knows breakfast food is hardly ever anything to call home about). If you're looking for a breakfast stop with veggie friendly or healthy options, this is the place for you. read more

My grandparents wanted to take all their grandchildren (at least the ones in Florida during the holidays) for brunch and my mom suggested we try First Watch. It's conveniently located near the mall so I feared we'd be waiting at least an hour for a table on the busiest shopping weekend on the year. Lucky for us our party of 6 was seated immediately! While my mom raved about the banana granola pancakes no one at table ordered them. Still feeling a bit guilty about all the pumpkin pie I had devoured over the past few days I went straight for the healthy section of the menu. Thin crepes wrapped around fresh fruit- sold! And it even came with a side of delicious granola. Grandma got the same and seemed to like it. My brother ordered a yogurt parfait (also feeling a bit guilty from all the pie)- he liked it, but it's not a very big portion and was hungry a few hours. My husband said his breakfast burrito was just OK. Apparently this isn't the only location in Florida because my brother said he used to eat at the one in Tampa all the time. It seems to be a good addition to Boca though. In a world of Jewish delis they could use a few more traditional brunch spots like this one... read more

This place never disappoints in the last six years. I'm in and out every time. They offer water and coffee when you're waiting (hallelujah). First watch happily enables my coffee habit by placing a whole pot in front of me, so thank you. And honestly, you know a place is nice when they supply flavored creamer. Breana was quick, attentive, and friendly. After being in the biz for nine years, I have high expectations and I am ecstatic when they're met. So thanks Breana! Raise for you, girl! read more

First Watch - Breakfast tacos! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

I love this place for a good guilt free breakfast with great fresh ingredients. They offer a special seasonal menu so every time you go you get a chance to try something different. Food is always fresh and delicious. I usually do their chickichanga which is always on point. Today I tried their morning granola bowl and it was outstanding. Tons of fresh fruit and it's served with a fresh muffin yum. One suggestion is if you go get the kale tonic SO GOOD. Wish it had less ice and more liquid but that's to be expected. Service has always been great here. They have an option to download an app to put your name on their wait list which was super convenient. My girlfriend was getting hangry so those 10 minutes definitely meant a lot. As soon as we sat we were promptly greeted and taken great care of. Definitely give this place a try !! read more

OMG, OmG, oMG! So good! I was feeling sick, last week was a rough one, and demanded I have soup. Friend from work remembered they had butternut squash soup and they are on the 'healthy side'...so we went. I had never been to this location before and they have a ton of outside seating #hellofall #bringonthe70s. With that said, we are already planning our next visit here. I ordered the butternut squash soup, which was so good the little old lady in the booth next to us inquired what it was, and the roasted butternut squash quinoa for lunch! Both were excellent! We also had a $2 coupon, so our bill was super affordable. They also have the best hot chocolate ever AND you can order breakfast for lunch, which is what I intend to do next time...If I can resist the butternut squash soup. See pix! read more

Breakfast being the most important meal of the day, you need to start it right first. At First Watch you definitely start your day the right way. I love the fact they make the food healthy and it's not overly greasy or full of sugar. They serve awesome breakfast and lunch. Their daily specials are cutely written on a huge chalkboard on one side of the restaurant. Whenever I have been there, it's been always crowded, however, I have never waited more than 10-20 minutes. They offer complimentary coffee while you wait which is a nice gesture. The servers are very efficient in placing your order in the kitchen in a timely manner and bringing your food to you. For a good way to start your breakfast try the delicious fruit crepes with yogurt and granola crunch on top. They have many different breakfast options but they also have lunch specials as well as lunch combos such as soup/sandwiches or salad/sandwiches. If you have never been here, sign online for their sun ecard and you get some great coupons online to try this great breakfast place. read more

I had been eating a cob salad from Boca Raton location at least once a week. Always had tge same quality and size. Today was poorly done, with brown avocados and half of the size. Very disappointing. read more

I like this restaurant a lot but it is always crowded. You can do a "call ahead" and that helps. The food is "to die for" but you can't get out of there for less than $40-$50 dollars for a couple. I have been to First Watch in three cities and they all are great! read more

Rating: 78/100 pts My family has been coming here since soon after they opened, and they have since provided consistently good service and food, quickly rising the ranks to become one of our top family breakfast spots. Me being the explorer in the family, I typically find myself craving morning comfort food whenever I'm back in Boca after being overseas, and First Watch's extensive menu more than meets this need by providing a good combination of traditional American breakfasts (pancakes waffles, omelets, oatmeal), as well as some interesting local and seasonal specialties (Floridian French Toast, Pumpkin Pancakes). In addition to the standard menu, they also have a constantly changing chalkboard of specials, which is a great place to start if you aren't already set on what to order. Everything I've ordered has been so satisfying that I wouldn't know where to begin as far as recommendations. However, I will mention that the Floridian French Toast is my personal favorite: perfectly crisp sourdough slices, encrusted with wheat germ and topped with strawberry, banana, and kiwi slices. Recently I tried the Bruleed Banana Waffles, a chalkboard special which, in addition to being topped with brown sugar bacon and bananas, was finished off with bacon-flavored maple syrup. This was awesome, and as such I cleaned the plate spotless. Nice atmosphere, great staff, fair prices, and excellent food quality. First Watch very well may be the best spot to get breakfast west of Military Trail. read more

The banana granola pancakes are great! Especially if you order them with the topping that comes with the Floridian French Toast. The open faced chicken salad sandwich is awesome! I order it with no cheese and it comes with soup or salad. I tried the Italian wedding soup that was their special of the day and it was fantastic!!! Very tasty! Also, the cranberry, banana, nut oatmeal is really good, and it comes with an english muffin. Service is very fast too! Please get more flavor syrups (like strawberry and blueberry) and I'll up this to 5 stars! read more

Thanks to Yelp community for this one. We searched out local restaurants a few days back and this was tops on the list. After seeing all the good reviews, we decided to stop in. I got a turkey, onion and jalapeno omelette, with toast and potatoes. The food was really good and fresh. The coffee was also great. They actually give you a huge carafe to knock off which is nice. Breakfast came out to about $12 a head. Good value! Recommended. read more

Great place for breakfast. Staffs are always nice. Service is on point even when they are packed on the weekend. I love avocado toast here. Generous portion for Avocado and I never get disappointed with the freshness. The parking could be a little issue but it's not their fault. When it's not too hot, outside seating is a plus at this location. read more

A good breakfast spot with a nice selection of breakfast items on the menu. The price is decent and they even have flavored creamers on the table for your coffee. I saw a few things on the menu that I wanted to try so I will be going back. They made the bacon crispy like I asked for and the egg was cooked perfectly. There was a 15 minute wait when I went at 9am so be prepared to wait but it's worth it. read more

There is no waffling on my opinion of First Watch - this place is awesome! Yeah, that pun was cheesier than their delicious omelettes. Ok, sorry for that one, too. First off, they are OPEN! I have driven by multiple times and always wondered if they were open or if remodeling was in progress. Thankfully, this place is open, busy, and good! I had the Floridian French Toast, and it was so, so good! I'd say I'd be back for it, but in reality I'll be back to try all the other incredibly tempting options I passed on. It was really hard to decide what to eat, but I have a feeling I could have throw darts at the menu and come away with something delicious. The coffee is really good here. We went on Sunday morning and there was a free coffee station outside for those of us waiting to be seated. I thought that was a great little extra and was very appreciated on a sleepy Sunday. My parents are coming to visit at the end of October, and I'll definitely be bringing them to check this place out while they are here. Glad I decided to try this place after driving by so many times. read more

We had such a wonderful experience. We were seated in a huge booth ( just the 2 of us) and enjoyed every part of our brunch. We had avocado toast, lemon ricotta pancakes, and the pesto chicken quinoa bowl. Everything was AMAZING. Management (Jim) greeted us upon out arrival and on our way out (holding the door for my wife both times.) Everything was sanitized ,tables reset in minutes.. we will be back tomorrow . read more

The food was good. All ingredients are fresh. The service was professional and friendly. Unfortunately when we left the table my husband accidentally forgot his to go box with half his sandwich in. No sooner did I get to the car did we realize he forgot his to go box. I went right back in and asked for it. The cashier's response was "oh well you left it and the table was bussed already. It's in the garbage." I said to her in two minutes you threw it away? You could not wait a few minutes to see if we would return for it. She replied "it's our policy". So half of a $15 sandwich gone. No attempt to make it right. Very wrong of the establishment. We did not even make it into the car. They could have held onto the box for 5 minutes. However to be so "oh well about it". I definitely will think twice before going back or recommending this place to friends and families. read more

Excellent breakfast joint. I really like the waffles, crisp bacon, scrambled eggs. The prices are fair and the service is fast. The restaurant is super clean and will get crowded on the weekends. read more

After searching for Blueberry pancakes fellow Yelper's let me to First Watch. I was not disappointed. My uncle had 2 Blueberry pancakes with link sausage.He loved his meal. My wife had the French toast with Strawberries,Kiwi,and Bananas. The French toast was not doughy and had just a little powdered sugar which was to her liking I had a Veggie omelet with home fries and a English muffin. I also had a Blueberry pancake. My omelet was alright but the pancake was excellent. This is the place in South Fla. if your looking for great pancakes and French toast. read more

I love this place! I'd seen it's storefront a few times while getting gas at the Mobile station at the northwest corner of Glades and 441, but thought it might be a church , luckily my son told me it was a breakfast/ brunch restaurant and he had been here before and loved it. We decided to go for my oldest son's birthday and it was awesome! The food is fresh and comes out fast! Where we sat I could see the chef and he was smiling while interacting with the servers. It's always nice to see a happy chef . Everyone was hustling, but we didn't feel rushed Our server was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and very efficient. They are sure to present the check quickly too! The manager cashed us out,up front, so for those times you want to pick up the tab w/o resistance from family members, yay! Not too pricey either and it was clean and bright. Great place to get healthy fresh foods. read more
