Eggs Benedict
Amber V.

We love coming here for breakfast. They are consistent with how they make their food & always have yummy specials we love trying. The service is great & they're always busy! There's plenty of seating inside & outside to accommodate.

2 for You lunch with 1/2 roast beef & havarti sandwich accompanied by the 1/2 sweet honey pecan salad.

Cute place. The open ceilings make it a little noisy inside but the food and service is worth it. The servers are very pleasant. The food is fresh, tasty and plentiful! Definitely will come back!

First watch is by far me and my family's favorite breakfast place in Brooksville. The service is wonderful and everyone is always so kind. The food is always very good and fresh. My personal favorite is the Parma hash. My only critiques (and I acknowledge this is likely a corporate thing and shouldn't be used to reflect on this location) is the discontinued selling of their bread. Their bread is amazing and I'm so sad we can no longer buy loaves for our homes. I also noticed the seasonal coffee (mint mocha) drink hasn't changed in like 2 years.

First Watch never fails to provide an enjoyable visit with great food. Seasonal specials of Pumpkin Pancake and Maple Bacon Croissant were outstanding. A must visit anytime I get to Brooksville area.

Elevated Egg Sandwich
Elizabeth M.

First Watch in Brooksville has fresh delicious food. 2nd time here and we were not disappointed. I ordered the 2 For You of a half Monterey Club sandwich and the 1/2 Sweet Honey Pecan salad. Wow! The greens and topping in the salad were fresh & crisp. The dressing is fantastic and compliments the salad perfectly. The bread on the sandwich was fresh but for me I would have preferred the bread to be toasted. There was plenty of Turkey and toppings in the sandwich. My mom-in-law had the Elevated Egg Sandwich. She could not stop raving about how delicious the sandwich was and she loved the potatoes. We both left nothing on our plates. Once again it was all very fresh and delicious. We look forward to coming back & trying something different.

See all

This place was well worth the trek for! Be aware that there are often waits. We had a 45 minute…read morearriving around noon and heard there was a 2 hour wait at some points that Saturday. The crepes were absolutely delicious! The best bite was the banana jam on the banana Dream. The crepes weren't too sweet and had a lot of different textures from the toppings.

Drove 45 minutes to try this place. Saw it on TikTok so me and my friends headed out. They don't…read moretake reservations unless you are a large party, which for those you can reserve the top floor. It's an old house that's been transformed into a restaurant and each room has a theme. Super tight and small private parking lot so recommend parking on the road. All parking is free. When we arrived it was around 11:40ish and the wait time was 1 hour! Yes we waited. I was starving. We got called around the 40 minute mark. Taken to our table and waited and waited and waited -- probably 20ish minutes later we got our order taken! Drinks came out and the ice was already lacking, you could tell it was melted. They were out of the butterfly tea. The regular iced tea I ordered unsweetened with a bit of sweet was bitter and very dark in color. Bleh. For food I ordered the Honey You Must Try This which is fried chicken, spinach, tomato, crispy onion straws, house made cream cheese and honey mustard on top. The crepe itself was good but there was nothing that set this place apart for me! It did need more dressing and I think they forgot my cream cheese because I didn't see or taste it. Took awhile for the food to come out. Overall we were there a little over 2 hours! Crazy! The place is crazy busy and I'm not sure if it's a staffing issue or what but some improvements are needed. They need more shade in the front areas where they have benches and such for guests to wait. It's FL and the heat is no joke! The AC inside doesn't feel cold because so many people are inside and it's an old house. Staff and service is lacking. Not once did we get checked on during our time here. Actually if we needed something we had to get up and find someone or wait until they came to another table and flag them down. Decor is great and cute.

While visiting a friend in Inverness, we decided to explore The Tilted Teacup. High tea is a small…read morepassion of ours, and over the years we have experienced many tea rooms across the country and abroad, so we arrived curious and ready to be charmed. The tea room itself is a beautiful, eclectic house. Spacious yet cozy, decorated in a delightful hodgepodge of styles that somehow comes together harmoniously. It feels whimsical without tipping into chaos. The kind of place where teacups don't match, and that is precisely the point. Making reservations was pleasantly easy. I emailed on a Sunday for a Wednesday seating and received confirmation by Monday. I was mildly surprised they did not require a credit card deposit, something many tea rooms now request given the labor-intensive preparation and delicate perishables involved. Their trust in the process is refreshing. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted and promptly seated. Amiee, the owner and our server, was friendly and engaging, walking us through the tea selections, the promise of unlimited pots, and explaining the offerings that would arrive throughout the experience. We ended up trying five different teas, each pot a small surprise thanks to Amiee's suggestions. I cannot remember all the names, but I can happily say we liked every one of them. One in particular tasted remarkably like banana bread in a cup. Warm, aromatic, perfectly balanced, and thankfully not overly sweet. We were also delighted by the Peach Apricot, bright and cheerful, and really enjoyed the Pomegranate Vanilla Lemur, which had a lovely layered flavor. We began with a creamy mushroom soup, rich and comforting. The scone, served before the tiered tray, was warm, buttery, and quite good, though notably without the traditional Devonshire or clotted cream. Still, it stood proudly on its own. The finger sandwiches were fresh and thoughtfully varied. The bread did not appear homemade, but the selections complemented each filling nicely and everything tasted fresh. The cheese muffin was flavorful, though we both mused that two smaller ones with a slightly moister crumb might have been even better. The sweet tier was satisfying overall. I was initially skeptical about the bread pudding, but the mini chocolate tart and a delicate lemon tart on filo more than made up for it. One of the highlights of the afternoon was chatting with Amiee about the journey of the tea room through the years, including the challenges of navigating the Covid era. I am always impressed by those who pursue a vision in the food industry. It is a difficult road, and places like this exist because of persistence, courage, and a genuine love of hospitality. Another pleasant surprise was the pricing, which is remarkably reasonable compared with the often lofty cost of afternoon tea elsewhere. All in all, The Tilted Teacup offers a warm, charming, and thoughtful tea experience. My friend and I left very pleased, well fed, and with the comforting sense that we had spent the afternoon exactly as it should be spent: with good tea, good conversation, and a table full of small delights. I happily recommend it.
