    Farmhouse Hash

    Another awesome brunch place coming your way! Great atmosphere, delicious food, good prices, awesome service. This place is packed!

    Kale Tonic
    Julie M.

    This was our 1st timing to First Watch in Canton and the food definitely didn't disappoint! It wasn't crowded which helped a lot and it was closer to closing time! We arrived around 1pm and they started shutting things down around 2:30pm! Our server was pleasant and attentive until close to us leaving and my friend had to go and ask for a container to take home her food! Now our food was really good, I ordered the Trifecta Breakfast with 2 eggs over medium, chicken sausage and a multi grain pancake! My friend ordered a Turkey Club with potatoes!! We never got water but my friend ordered decaf tea and I ordered the Kale Tonic which was really tasty!! The ambiance is ok! It's well lit but can be a little loud with other conversations going on but I would definitely be back

    Real maple syrup
    Natalie S.

    Cute breakfast chain with several options including special menu items that rotate. We shared the carne asada breakfast tacos (seasonal special), biscuits and gravy meal made with turkey sausage, and the Belgian waffle. Everything was delicious! They do have real maple syrup available (for an extra cost). We both ordered coffee so they left a carafe at our table, which is nice when wanting a refill. I wish the chain would offer more gf options like many of the other breakfast places (that aren't just eggs) and that they wouldn't charge extra for real syrup. Service at this location was great!

    First Watch never disappoints. Even though it's a chain, its food is consistent and good. Good service, excellent food and love the ambiance of this location. They offer dining inside, on an enclose patio or outside if you choose. It's great if you have a pet. You can enter and exit from the outside patio. We had the traditional breakfast and it was excellent. Lots of food for the value. Looking for breakfast or lunch, this is your spot.

    I've been to First Watch on 3 different occasions. It's not a bad place to get breakfast, but after multiple trips here I don't really find it to be all that special. The menu has some good stuff but the portions don't always justify some of the prices. The staff and dining area have always been consistently good. Even this healthy breakfast option that included egg whites, sauteed veggies and some tomato slices didn't really satisfy or feel special in any way. This place does sweet dishes far better than savory ones in my opinion.

    Ordered take out got the chips pudding that come with almond butter toast and got a side of turkey sausage. The toast was hard dry and cold and the turkey sausage was also cold. The chia pudding was ok.

    Farmhouse skillet hash
    Cibi A.

    Visited on Christmas eve as a group of 11. We were given our own room with a long table. Our server was organized and the thorough. The farmhouse skillet hash has everything you could want for breakfast - eggs, bacon, potatoes, cheese, toast etc. nothing tasted overly seasoned or oily. Great addition to city, I hope it stays!

    Order

    I decided to order breakfast from first watch. I had been there before. They usually have a good breakfast. I went to pick up the order. I asked the girl if everything was there and she said yes. I got home and half the items were not in the bag. I went back and tried to explain that they had left out half the order. They were very rude and refused to make the rest of the order. Please don't order carry out. I was ripped off.

    belgian waffle and trifecta

    This is the perfect brunch spot! Their food is always so eye catching and very tasty. Their service is excellent but this place can get really busy. Well maintained and clean.

    Pancakes, scrambled eggs, Turkey sausage and breakfast potatoes
    Christina S.

    This my second time trying first watch and I will have to say not much has changed. The food isn't that good to me. It's very average and a little expensive for no reason. The pancake was very dry, the scrambled eggs were cooked way too hard. The potatoes were hard and burnt. I wanted to just try give them another try going just on my own but I won't go back unless with a group of friends the service is okay took about 8 minutes before she came over to visit us and asked what we wanted to drink besides water. It's rustic feel inside this restaurant. If you want to give them a try I would just be aware that is average food but nothing can beat making memories with family and friends.

The grits in particular were excellent! My mom liked her potatoes but she did say she was a little jealous of the grits and took a few forkfuls from me. The benedict was also very good, served on a biscuit rather than the traditional english muffin, which I liked very much. Mine was a little light on the hollandaise so I would ask for a bit more of that next time. I also had an iced frozen latte which was quite good! Like many folks right now we're avoiding raw mixed greens so we both skipped those with our meals but even without it was still plenty of food. We also ordered beignets, a mix of powdered sugar and cinnamon sugar, with chocolate and foster's sauce (caramel) on the side. To me the beignets read more like a popover than a beignet but they were still good. Loved that they came warm and the foster's sauce was really nice! Our server was awesome and checked in on us regularly. Food came quickly, too. We did have to wait about 30 minutes for a table but it wasn't too bad and they'll take your number so you don't have to stay too close if you'd prefer to wait in your car (not much else to do around there, unless you're feeling like browsing Office Max next door). Overall a very solid dining experience and we both remarked we'd be eager to return again soon!

From the variety of offerings to the freshness and quality of the meals you get the full experience of authentic Mediterranean cuisine. This place is your one stop shop for all of your coffee, breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, and not to mention the healthy options at the salad bar. I ordered the egg & cheese croissant with turkey bacon, and I have to say I was not expecting the croissant to be this good. I was able to taste all of the flavors within the sandwich from the egg to the bacon and the greens. I also ordered a chocolate pistachio croissant for dessert to enjoy at home, Saj offers an abundant amount of seating, inside and outside as well as a private room for any work meetings you would like to have with your colleagues. I will 100% percent return.

The ambience is absolutely lovely--spacious, clean, and very pleasant to sit in. The upstairs seating area is especially nice, with comfortable tables and chairs that make it a great spot to relax. They also offer a good selection of packed bakery items on display that look fresh and tempting, making it ideal for a quick grab-and-go visit. That said, the dine-in experience was let down by long wait times. I ordered a croissant and a falafel sandwich and ended up waiting significantly longer than expected, with little to no updates on my order. The ordering system--placing the order in one area and then waiting with a buzzer to collect before paying--felt somewhat inefficient, especially during off-peak hours on a weekday when the café wasn't particularly busy. In terms of food, the falafel sandwich was decent, while the croissant was just okay. Overall, the service felt slow and somewhat disorganized during this visit. I later stopped by just for grab-and-go items, and that experience was much smoother and quicker. Overall, the café has a beautiful ambience and fresh offerings, but there is definitely room for improvement in service speed and order management for dine-in items.

The abundant natural light, thoughtful seasonal décor, and the undeniable gravitas of a beautifully restored former bank create an experience that feels both elegant and welcoming. The Ledger is absolutely worthy of being a destination restaurant for celebrations and milestones. But the biggest compliment I can give it is this: we don't save it only for special occasions. Whenever we're nearby, we make a point to stop because the food, drinks, and experience are just that good and the seasonal specials never stay as long as you'd hope.
