Melonade (seasonal menu)
Sharilyn T.

First Watch is one of my favorite places for breakfast or brunch; it's one of those places that never disappoints, especially with the rotating seasonal specials menu (my favorite). The atmosphere is pleasant, cozy, and the service is always good. Its farmhouse and elegant decor make a nice combination. I've tried almost everything on the menu, and it never disappoints; everything is always delicious and fresh. Most dishes come with a side salad, toast, fruit, or potatoes. A good tip is to get in line online because on weekends, especially holidays, it gets very crowded.

We were in town to visit our son and attend a USF soccer game. Decided to drop in to this restaurant for breakfast due to its proximity to the auto shop where we had to leave our rental car for service. We were seated immediately; our server was very pleasant. The restaurant was clean and spacious; there is also outside dining available. The meals however, were "so-so". My husband ordered the farmhouse hash with pancakes, my son ordered the market hash, my daughter ordered the elevated egg sandwich with grits, and I ordered the farm stand breakfast tacos. The and the eggs on my tacos were a bit bland; the grits were surprisingly "watery" (expected creamy grits). Probably won't order breakfast items if do return; will try "lunch" items next time to see if the experience is better.

While I am not really an eat out breakfast restaurant person this is one of my favorite gift cards to receive. I love their juice bar and pre order/pay on the ap makes it so easy when running errands to pick up a refreshing drink. The best.

Food was fantastic. I had the ham and Gruyère cheese melt with a bowl of tomato basil soup. Delicious. Yesterday I got the Strawberry Nutella French Toast. Freaking amazing. Loved it. Service was fantastic both days. Summer and Steve are both fantastic servers. The ambiance was top notch too. Clean, modern, with a great overall feel. Will definitely be back.

Ham and Gruyère omelette
Steve H.

Went there yesterday to get my birthday reward. But one get one free. I decided on the Ham and Gruyère omelette. The omelette was filled with ham and cheese and the eggs were done perfectly. The potatoes were very tasty as well. The toast was a multi grain which was very hearty.

Prime rib hash

You can't go wrong with First Watch...this location is no exception. I had my favs: kale tonic and morning meditation with the delicious double crunch tacos(ordered a second round), prime rib hash(good but not for everyone; I would prefer a different protein), and cinnamon chip pancake(cooked just right, good amount of flavor). The cup of fruit seasoned with Tajin was an odd pairing but really tasty. Service was prompt and welcoming. Kudos on the seasonal creations.

The place is clean and nice, service is good, the food is also good their drinks are soooooo good too

Ginger Snap Cold Brew with Oatley Oat Milk and Candied Ginger Rim
Karen V.

This review is about their new Bloomingdale Square location. This one is on Bell Shoals and Bloomingdale. I've been to the one on Lumsden/Causeway Blvd and wrote a very nice 5 star review. I was hoping that this would be the same experience, but sadly not today. The food was about 3.5 today and the service was not so great. I'm giving them some slack because it's a new location. I also liked the atmosphere and the fact that it's the first location that has a cocktail menu. So, let me get the negative stuff out of the way. It was a long wait for the food. Yes, they were busy at 11:15am. We got our coffee right away and noticed that there was no half and half. We asked for it, and the server forgot. Mom doesn't like the flavored creamers which were already on the table. I had to remind her again about it. She did apologize. We got the half and half, as well as my order of the BLT Benedict. Just my order, which arrived lukewarm at best. My mother's French Toast hadn't arrived yet. I was half way through my brunch order when my mother's dish arrived and no maple syrup. Then we had to ask for maple syrup. Fortunately mom liked what she ordered and the syrup arrived nice and warm. She was happy but commented on how bad the service was today. Not a great first impression but hopefully it's all worked out by the next visit. On the positive side, they had a Ginger Snap coffee drink that was really unique. It has fresh ginger, cold brew coffee, and Oatley oat milk with a rim of candied ginger sugar. It was great! I also saw a signature cocktail called Cinnamon Toast Cereal Milk that contains Rum Haven Coconut Rum. I'm looking forward to trying that next time. They had many other cocktails made with fresh juice and mixed with vodka, as well as drinks with tequila and champagne. There was Kombucha on the menu too. The decor is very nice. The seating is comfortable. The hot coffee wasn't added to our bill. Maybe that was our reward for not complaining. The food is reasonably priced. I'm just hoping that the service/kitchen execution improves because it will be a very busy location. Also, there's plenty of parking which is awesome. We'll return for more.

I would go back just because of the staff. They were all so friendly. But the food was pretty incredible. I ordered the carnitas burrito (recommended by our server). I was definitely not disappointed. My overall experience was great. Restroom was clean. Even checking out was a pleasant experience. No wait to be seated. Not a long wait for food. It actually came out pretty quickly!!

great service ! great peeps! great shrimpsThe owner is awonderful person. The restaurant is clean in the kitchen!

Woww! Generous portions and delicious. Our gang ordered a cinnamon swirl pancake, carrot cake…read morewaffle, crab cake Benedict and a couple of breakfast platters. We also got a side of biscuits and gravy to share. The five of us had enough left to feed another couple of hungry people. The waffle and pancake were perfect. The Benedict was a plate cleaner. The platters had perfect over easy and over medium eggs, crisp bacon, Generous hash browns and a choice of toasts, both of which we got were delicious. The real star of the show was the side of biscuits and sausage gravy. The biscuits were crispy on the top and perfect in the middle. The gravy was scrumptious and seasoned perfectly for a group with varying tastes. Definitely going back. Our only regret is that most of us don't live in the Tampa area! The restroom could use a little attention. Lots of paper on the floor.

I came here for breakfast with my sister and we had such a great experience. Even though it was…read moresuper busy, the service was friendly, organized, and surprisingly quick. We were seated fast and our food came out much sooner than expected. I ordered the chicken and waffles, which were perfectly crispy, flavorful, and paired so well with the fluffy waffles. My sister had the veggie omelette, and it was fresh, filling, and cooked perfectly. Everything tasted amazing, and the overall atmosphere made it such a fun and relaxing spot. We left happy, full, and already excited to come back again.

MOUTH MAGIC Happens here! Stop right now....push directions…read moreand go to Moon Mountain immediately! There is so much to try at this treasure shop! Are you feeling like a power bowl, a coffee, a vape, a matcha, Kratom, kava....it's all here! Not only is it here, it is delicious and served up by an awesome team led by a very cool owner. I have always disliked matcha (and I've tried it all over the world...) I mentioned that to the owner and he said "Nooooooo- you've not had it made the right way!" And he gave me an awesome education about matcha. Even shared the one he was making so I could experience it the way God intended....with an "ahhhhh" , a smile, and a chocolate cold foam mustache! Perfection! It didn't taste like dirt, it tasted like a chocolate covered strawberry in liquid form! We intended to pop in for a coffee, stayed for a coffee, a matcha, an education, and the cool vibes put out by the folks here. They actually talk, smile, laugh and joke with their new friends (aka. customers) which is a very nice change from some places you go these days. Thanks so much for the magical mouth magic Moon Mountain...we will be back soon! You have created a Lunartic!

Moon Mountain has the chillest, relaxed vibe of any coffee shop I've been to in the Brandon area…read more With plentiful seating for relaxation, playing board games with the friends, to drinking at the bar, this cafe is perfect for every occasion. I friend recommended this place for their coffee and homework time. So I proceeded to do the same today. The music is THE best, I loved every song they have put on. They have a guitar for any artist to play and many drink options like kava tea, loose leaf, coffee, smoothies, beer, sodas and more! The barista/bartender Zoey was super sweet! She answered all my newbie questions and recommendations. I tried their iced latte with coconut and caramel which was DELISH. The coffee was smooth with a strong flavor which I like, but not bitter. I will for sure be back! This is my fav spot now for homework sesh time in the Brandon area.
