I recently had breakfast at First Watch. We were immediately seated and ordered coffee. I do recommend the coffee but it is pricey at almost $4. I ordered the Avacado Toast which comes with 2 eggs which I ordered over easy. I also ordered a side order of toast. The Avacado Toast was good but did not have as much Avacado as some of the pictures on Yelp. The eggs were good and the toast was good with a heavy grain texture, The service was great.

First of all, I would check the wait-time on their website and get on that waitlist so you're not spending too much time in your car before they text you that your table is ready. I've been there when the wait is an hour and another time when I was seated right away. I really do enjoy their food and cocktails there. I had the Pomegranate Sunrise which is tequila, pomegranate, fresh lime, and agave nectar and it was amazing. My boyfriend drank the Morning Glory which had vodka, orange, lemon, turmeric, ginger and agave nectar. If you like turmeric and ginger, then Morning Glory is for you! To eat we both got the Carnitas Burrito and it was delicious. It had carnitas (obviously), potatoes, eggs, cheese, beans, and avocado wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla and smothered in tomatillo sauce. They have a fairly large menu but I do try to get their limited time specials!

Too expensive, too crowded, waiter too weird, lol. But if you're traveling and need something besides donuts or McDonald's for breakfast one day out of five, it's probably a good bet. Oh, it smells like garbage truck juice out on the patio. : ( Boo.

We came in around Tuesday 11a , after the breakfast rush and before the lunch rush. Avoided coming in during holidays because I figured it would be chaos. Although we were seated quickly, it took a bit for the server to get our orders. From that point we waited almost 50 min for our food. And the server did not check on us during this wait . Although the food was fine , it's not worth that long of a wait. I realize this is a new location and that it takes time to work the bugs out. (Pancakes and bacon shouldn't take that long!) I was here 2 months ago and it was actually busier but our food came out in a more reasonable time frame. (Needless to say the server Alyssa did not get a good tip because she didn't deserve one ... and I'm usually a good tipper if there is some effort. )If the management can figure out how to teach the servers and streamline the process this place could get 4 stars but not with it's current situation. read more

Nice, warm , cozy atmosphere. Service was non existent after the initial greeting. One server took our order, our food was delivered by another server and we never saw either one of them again except for them to rush past in another aisle. My food was tasty but cold. Toast wasn't even warm enough to melt the butter. My husbands eggs were done hard, when he had ordered them over medium. No one came back to ask how our meals were, so we just ate them. Our server finally came over to deliver the check and said " Oh I see everything was delicious" ..... uh, well, NO, but you never checked back with us! Didn't bother letting her know this cause it wouldn't have made a difference. I asked for a coffee to go....waited 10 more minutes, never got my coffee so we left. $35.00 rather steep for a mediocre breakfast / service. Not sure if we will try it again or not. Too many restaurants in the Belden area to go someplace just ok. read more

Specialties

First Watch is an award-winning breakfast, brunch and lunch spot, serving a chef-driven menu of elevated classics and seasonal specialties, always made to order using the freshest ingredients. We greet the sunrise by slicing and juicing fresh fruits and vegetables, whipping French toast batter from scratch and brewing pots of our single-origin Project Sunrise coffee. Freshness is never comprised, which is why we welcome each season into our menu with ingredients and flavors inspired by the position of the sun. All year long, you can enjoy craveable favorites like Avocado Toast for breakfast, Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict for brunch and Lemon Ricotta Pancakes for lunch. Whether you start at the crack of dawn or not, we'll leave that up to you!

They weren't. We also ordered the hummus plate that did not come with near enough hummus for the pita and veggies. When we asked if we could get more hummus he said we'd have buy another plate. I get it, but get your proportions at least close. We really came for the bourbon. The single barrel was quite good... but at $95 we could not pull the trigger. I'm sure some tourists will.

There was so much leftover that it filled our to-go box. Next time, we will try the 'make our own bowl' method. You fill your bowl with the raw ingredients that you choose yourself then the chefs cook it right there. I like that you can watch your food being made. You get a ticket and they bring your bowl to your table. A server brings your drinks and anything else you may need. Our server was very friendly and accommodating. It's casual dining. A place where you can take your kids and not worry about being too loud.

I recently visited First Watch for breakfast, and I hadn't been to this location in a long time. I was surprised by how good the food was. The turkey sausage links, in particular, had incredible flavor--I'd come back just for those. One thing I really appreciated was their QR code payment system at the table. It made checkout super convenient. Overall, the experience was great, and I'll definitely be back to try more menu items. Highly recommend! read more
