    First Watch was good! I ordered the Avocado Toast, which came as one slice of toast cut in half with two eggs. It tasted fresh, but I did feel it was a bit pricey (around $13-$14) considering there weren't any extra toppings or sides included. I also tried the biscuits and gravy, the biscuit was super light and fluffy, absolutely delicious. The gravy, however, was a little too peppery for my taste, though I know a lot of people enjoy that flavor profile. The wait was surprisingly quick. I checked in through the app, and by the time I officially checked in at the restaurant, I was 6th in line. Within about five minutes, my table was ready, which was great. Our waitress was fine, nothing outstanding, but no complaints either. I would come back!

    Real maple syrup

    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Good environment. Very good food. Nice selection on the menu. Servers were friendly. A bit pricey but worth it.

    Not worth the money. Bacon was way to peppered. OJ was from a gallon and eggs were burnt. I had high hopes!

This place is a nice size, they have an outside patio area for the nice days. Our waitress was super nice and on point with service. Ordered the 9oz Tropical Mimosa and it came in tall glass and was very good. I ordered the Jerk Wings, they were good but the sauce was more of a habanero spice that was too spicy for me. I also had a side of the collard greens that were a little too sweet for my liking and I tried a cup of the Gumbo that was very good and flavorful. My daughter got the shrimp and grits they were amazing, she also had a waffle and it was good. The waitress gave us two beignets for free since it was our first time. My daughter said they were good. I will most definetly go back to try other items.

There was a long line of customers, but the wait was tolerable, barely 10 minutes. The restaurant is much larger and brighter; the large windows allow in more light. Service was quick, allowing more customers to be served. My rule for dining out is to select dishes I don't make well at home due to a lack of skill or ingredients. So here, it meant a lobster omelette and pancakes. Yes, I'm a failure with pancakes, despite the numerous, numerous times I've attempted them. One, I rarely keep milk at home, and two, my pancakes tend to burn. Sigh. The pancakes here are fluffy and delicious. I even liked the fake, thick pancake syrup served here. The omelette was savory and well-prepared. My friend had the baked French Toast, which looked appetizing and dessert-like. Service was quick and responsive.

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 first hostess…read morewas nice and told me we could split up to two groups of 4 and take two table tops that they had already open and get seated right away. After some time of waiting, they continued seating multiple groups that came in after us taking the tables of 4 that were available. They even seated the couple behind us in line at a 4 person table. I asked the hostess about my group and if I should take them elsewhere as they kept seating people behind us in line. She responded and said "it will be more time for your group. Looking to get tables close to each other". I told her that the reason why we stuck around was to get seated and was fine with splitting, as already discussed. Another table got sat ahead of us shortly after this conversation happened. My group instantly felt disrespected and not welcomed - which led to our group unanimously voting to leave. Unfortunate experience. Maybe just caught them on a bad day.

My husband and I just ordered the blueberry pancakes because you get three huge ones and order of sausage which was another four. He also wanted eggs and it was all delicious and perfect. The blueberries are inside the pancakes where they should be and they added some on top. Also, loose fresh blueberries. And you know pancakes are good when you can just use butter and no syrup.! I do that at first but later use a little syrup to top it off. We loved "Jonny cakes"and we highly recommend it.
