    Market hash with maple bacon
    Myra E.

    This was my first time at First Watch. My husband and I came here with two of our friends. We each enjoyed our meals and our server was friendly, attentive, and helpful. Collectively, we ordered the Market Hash dish with a side of maple bacon, pancake with a side of eggs, the Chickichanga, the Quinoa Breakfast Power Bowl, and Morning Meditation drinks. The only con of this experience is when I went to the bathroom and walked out of the bathroom. The women's bathroom had large puddles of water on the floor from one stall and it looked like there was smeared geese poop on the floor of the other stall. Then, when I walked out of the bathroom I immediately slipped and fell. There was an employee there who saw me fall and asked me if I was okay but didn't offer any assistance with helping me off the floor. As I was getting up my husband realized I had fallen and ran over to help me up and make sure I was okay. At first I thought I had slipped because of all the water on my shoes from the bathroom floor, but then my husband said the staff had just mopped the floor outside the bathroom before I fell, and there was another customer who fell by the entrance after they mopped just a few minutes before I fell. This happened as they were preparing to close, and I get that they were trying to clean up before leaving but wet floor signs being posted and prompt cleaning of puddles would have been helpful. Update: Customer care reached out to me immediately after seeing my review and arranged a call with me to apologize for the experience I had, ask if I was okay, and offered to send gift cards if I was interested in giving First Watch restaurants another try. I would try other First Watch locations, and I really appreciate the caring outreach made by the customer care team. I was sent gift cards, a First Watch cookbook, an oven mitt and a handwritten card by customer care, which was very thoughtful and speaks to the level of care and seriousness the company places on customers having a good experience with the company. I'm looking forward to trying First Watch again at other locations!

    First Watch is such a delicious breakfast spot and definitely worth checking out. There was a pretty long wait when we arrived, but the staff handled it really well--they communicated clearly, took my phone number, and kept us updated so we knew exactly when we'd be seated, which made the wait much more manageable. The food was absolutely worth it, fresh and flavorful all around. As a bonus, there was a really cool local vendor market happening next door, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable while we waited. I'll definitely be coming back.

    The blueberry lemon cornbread is such a delicious treat to share at the able! It's warm , flavorful, and loaded with butter. I also got the pesto chicken power bowl. It was packed with quinoa, protein and the pesto was on point. I love all of their juices. Place is nice and organized. Staff is top notch! I love First Watch!

    I came here with my family and honestly this place was amazing. Even though they were super busy the restaurant was clean we were seated quickly and the customer service was excellent. My family even ordered an omelet for me since I was running late. When I asked my mom which one it was she said she forgot but it was still really good. Overall, we had a great experience and I'll definitely be coming back.

    I saw First Watch had lemon blueberry cornbread on their menu. I never had that flavor before. The lemon was the whip on the cornbread. I ordered the protein breakfast which contain Italian sausage, mushrooms, kale, quinoa, cheese, and over easy egg. The meal was delicious. I will be back for the cornbread and trying another meal. The service was fast and the restaurant was busy. There was music. Paying for my food was a new experience, I paid on my phone, there was another option you can choose.

    We were recommended to try this place so it was a bit of a wait considering it's the day after christmas. But it's a nice place with friendly service. the coffee was very good, but i wish they had some options like lattes. anyway everyone enjoyed their meals and the portions were generous. Just a suggestion to go easier on the salt.

    Steel Cut Oats

    Steel Cut Oats Breakfast is an instant classic! The oats are smooth, warm and delicious. The fruit, brown sugar and milk are perfection. The blueberry muffin is a perfect accompaniment. Love, love, love!

    Honey Caramel Crunch Iced Coffee

    Our go to brunch spot. It is always busy on a weekend for brunch/breakfast for good reason. We sat at the bar to avoid waiting for a table to open up. The bartender was super friendly. Food; my favorite is the Pesto Chicken Quiona Bowl. If you like pesto it's a great brunch option. My wife gets the Works Omelette with the million dollar potatoes upgrade which is delicious. We have never been dissatisfied with any food item here. Drinks; I got Honey Caramel Iced Coffee it was sweet and delicious. My wife got the pomegranate sunrise which was a perfect brunch drink. The ambiance is wonderful. The restaurant is clean and the staff are all super friendly. You won't be disappointed with anything here. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for an excellent breakfast/brunch spot.

    Our server Ashley was great! She was quick and efficient with a warm smile. Our food was ordered and arrived timely. I had the double bacon Parmesan hash...it was delish!! It's the perfect mix of bacon, eggs, home fries, and veggies (onions, spinach, and arugula). I really hope they add it to the regular menu. I added a side of chicken sausage patties to increase my protein intake. I also had a Purple Haze, which is my new favorite drink! They have a bar area plus some booths and tables. I like the variety of seating. There's also outdoor seating available for warmer days. It's in the Summit Pointe complex near the Dollar Tree headquarters. Check it out!!

    Morning Meditation
    Cindi W.

    Came for brunch after church.Thankful I got on the waitlist so once we arrived we didn't have that long of a wait, it was packed in there!!. Our server was very friendly. I got the morning meditation juice and the healthy turkey omelette and cheese grits. The omelette was really good. I wasn't sure if I'd like the tomatoes in it, but it was good. The juice was cute and tasty. Another great meal.

    Shishito Pepper Hash
    Liz R.

    Visiting a friend in Chesapeake and we decided to grab breakfast at First Watch before hitting the road back home. Our server brought the energy the entire time and was extremely attentive throughout our visit. They featured lemon blueberry cornbread on their summer menu (& on table toppers and their chalkboard) but when we ordered it we were told they weren't able to prepare it due to a shortage of ingredients from their suppliers :( BUMMER! However they did have the Shishito Pepper Hash which I ordered and absolutely loved! The potato hash itself was a flavor explosion and the pickled red onion, charred shishito peppers and brisket amplified things making the dish a true winner! The side of chicken sausage looked great however was just ok (I only ate 1/2 a patty). Overall it was a good breakfast and we arrived a little after 9am and did not have a wait, although when we were leaving there was a bit of a wait....but the restaurant provides free coffee while you're waiting which is a nice touch. Oh and there's ample parking as well.

    Lavender pea??? I forgot tbh
    Victoryia G.

    I always enjoy this restaurant, I wish they had "chicken fried steak" on the menu. I ordered a delicious omelette and a lavender tea it was so delicious and kind of tasted like lemonade! I'm glad I tried something new. The bread is my favorite it's so thick and fluffy ! The consistency of the grits is super thick, which is different for me but I like it because it's filling. Everything in the omelette complimented each other down to the onions, mushrooms and sausage! Oh and I got a side of biscuits and gravy, they were so fluffy and fresh the gravy was thick and creamy and the serving is large! It was hot out, the wonderful waitress was nice enough to bring my dog water! We sat outside; the outdoor area was clean and the tables were "thoughtfully" spread apart, the ceiling fans helped with the heat! Friendly service, great food... next time we'll probably eat inside.

    French Toast
    Amber B.

    We did add to waitlist on the website and when we got there, we were seated literally immediately. We were greeted with big smiles, politeness and clear communication. They were pretty busy, so it took a little bit for our waitress to greet us, but that gave us time to chat and browse the menu. The atmosphere is kinda loud, lots of chit chat, kids and different convos. But we don't mind the sound of people and happiness. My son and his best friend ordered the French toast. I don't think it even survived 5 mins on the table haha. I ordered the biscuits and gravy side; but it was plenty enough! It had a bit of a kick to it, but I'm not a spicy food person at all. So it was probably just my sensitivity. All in all, we love coming here and always feel like the whole staff truly cares and the chef put their hard work in to the food! Can't wait to come back!

    I've been meaning to stop by this cute cafe for a long while now. The outside is small and…read moreunassuming and it's door has a small knob for its size. Once I walked in I felt like I was in someone's home from a time long in the past. As a tall woman I had to watch my head in the doorways as I made my way to the register. They have so many drink options and many baked goods to choose from. I ordered my standard vanilla latte with almond milk and waited for my friend to arrive. Once she came in she immediately told me there was another sitting area towards the back of the building. I thought they only had a small dining room in the entryway. I recommend going further in to enjoy more privacy for your visit. She got an almond croissant and I got a strawberry tart.The workers are super bright and upbeat too. It's an atmosphere that is warm and inviting. Just delicious and a wonderful afternoon stop.

    I went here with a group of friends for a much needed get-together. We had been catching up both…read morevirtually and over the phone but it had been a while since we saw each other in person. We were able to use the back room in the cafe that had a large table and provided a cozy setting with lots of natural light coming through the windows and cute macaroon-shaped pillows on the chairs. We had hibiscus tea and peach tea for the table to share. The peach tea was everyone's favorite, it didn't even need any added sugar. It was served in cute pastel teapots, though one of the teapots had a chip at the spout which made me a little nervous. We also had macaroons made in-house for the table. I can't remember if I asked the staff if any of the macaroons were dairy free, but I asked my friends at the table and was told there was dairy in them. I later asked the staff if there was any food they offered that was dairy-free and they showed me their pastry counter but ultimately determined that everything offered had dairy, so all I had while at the café was the tea. The ladies I was with loved the macaroons. I wish I could have had some. I recommend at least 1-2 food options be added in the café for folks who have a dairy allergy. Café Genevieve provides a nice atmosphere for tea with a unique setting -- in a 1734 house that is decked out with Parisian decor. It's not the most private setting -- it got pretty noisy during our time there and there were a few interruptions to our conversation. We should have asked if we could have closed the door, because that definitely would have helped with noise and privacy. Overall, the customer service was great and the tea was really good! If you want to meet here for a private event, conversation, or just want some peace and quiet, that back room with the door closed could provide it. It's a nice café to check out.
