This First Watch is near Stirling Rd & University in Cooper City. Came here for my first breakfast of 2026 and it did not disappoint! It is in a great spot in the plaza right next to Tide Cleaners and near AA Mint & Culver's. We came right after sunrise at the beach and it wasn't too crowded but it really filled up after we were seated. We came with a pretty big party, 8 adults and 4 kids, and the staff was super helpful in getting us seated and taking our order. I got the Frittata Rustica (my fav) and then also ordered some items to go for my household. The service was fast, the inside was clean and spacious, and the food was delicious, as always. A great location of First Watch! read more

This was a solid breakfast stop after a run. I put in my name for a table on the app (and you should too), showed up 10 minutes later, waited for a few minutes and was seated. Just as any other location, this one had a fair number of larger parties waiting for a table after 10 AM on a Saturday. But the wait is worth it if you ask me. Our server greeted us soon after we were seated and was very helpful with all of my questions about menu items. She accommodated my request to leave out sour cream on my dish (the Chickichanga), put Vera Cruz sauce on the side and add jalapeños. My photo of the dish looks real different and bare because of the changes haha. My one wish is for First Watch to have more spicy items available, but the jalapeños and the Cholula hot sauce at the table are the best spicy options I can find there. When I mentioned I like spicy food, our server offered the jalapeño addition and to add a red pepper sauce on the side for me to try. The jalapeño came pretty much sliced raw inside the dish but gave me that kick in each creamy bite that I was hoping for. Both sauces were great to dip into with my hot, gooey, chickeny Chickichanga and hearty seasoned potatoes. The red pepper sauce came off like a light aioli and the Vera Cruz sauce was a grown up queso, only because it had chopped peppers. I would take the kid version too if I could. The potatoes were cooked just right to being crispy on the outside without losing its texture on the inside. Our server continued to be helpful when I asked whether the sauces were mayo based (there was an egg allergy in my party). She went out of her way to speak to the kitchen and ask about them before returning to tell me that the Vera Cruz sauce does not have eggs while the red pepper sauce uses a hollandaise that is made off site, so they cannot verify its exact ingredients. Her handling of my inquiry was so thorough that I could have given her a hug if I hadn't been so sweaty and ragged looking. Thank you for a great breakfast! read more

First Watch - Chickichanga - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cooper City, Florida

I recently visited First Watch in Cooper City, and I think this might be my favorite location so far. It still has the classic First Watch charm, but with a more modern, upscale twist that makes it feel fresh, elevated, and incredibly inviting. The space is large and open, with plenty of indoor seating and a beautiful outdoor patio. One thing I immediately loved was the switch from the usual community table to a breakfast bar. It gives the restaurant a more grown-up brunch vibe while still being warm and approachable. I ordered from the seasonal menu and got the carne asada tacos and the Purple Haze drink, along with the staple banana granola pancake. Everything was delicious. Honestly, I'd return for each of those items individually on three separate visits. And clearly I meant that, because (I will proudly admit) within the week I went back and ordered the exact same thing lol . The service was lovely, friendly, and very true to the First Watch standard. Our food came out quickly and perfectly prepared. As I mentioned, this location has a slightly more adult, elevated feel, which makes it perfect for brunch with the girls, a brunch date, or even a family outing. It fits all the vibes. read more

I've heard people talk about this place for a long time & after all these years I finally stopped on by. Although it's pretty spacious inside & has outdoor seating, it was on the busier side when I showed up but I was seated quickly & the waitress got to us promptly. She was super friendly & attentive which always makes a dining experience that much better. My table had our orders taken quickly as well. I saw some delicious things on the menu & I like the idea of offering seasonal options that rotate. Ultimately, I went with the Classic Benedict. Such a great choice! I like how it was served on a crunchy ciabatta rather than a typical English muffin. It also had tomato which put it over the top in the best way possible. The eggs were poached perfectly & the hollandaise had a unique, but nice, citrus flavor to it. I would absolutely get it again. I substituted the mixed greens for seasoned potatoes & they were also really good. I'm always a little skeptical trying cold brew when it's not from a coffee shop but I wanted to give it a quick mention because it was delicious. It was bold in flavor & had very little acidity. Overall, my 1st experience here was great. Everything from the service to the food was spot on. I know there's others out there who haven't tried First Watch yet but I highly recommend doing so. I can't wait to stop by again soon. read more

First Watch - Classic Benedict w/ Seasoned Potatoes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cooper City, Florida

Very busy restaurant!! There was a bit of a wait. We were able to grab some seats at the bar! Exceptional service. I believe our bartender was Chad! We sat at the bar and he was just so smooth. Fast service, great conversation. Guided us with the menu. Exactly what we needed after our race! The meal was perfect! Do not miss out on trying the pumpkin donuts! I loved learning a bit of the back story from our Chad about the coffee! Very clean and bright restaurant! Great, healthier pick! read more

Everything about my experience here was great! There was only about a five minute wait to get seated and we were seated at a nice four top with very comfy chairs. Our server came over immediately and took our drink orders and since we'd checked out the menu online we were able to give our food order as well. They have a great variety of breakfast and lunch dishes here. I ordered the classic eggs Benedict and this one comes with tomato on it and on top of ciabatta bread instead of the traditional English muffin. I really enjoyed this dish! The fresh tomato balanced out the hollandaise sauce so nicely and the eggs were poached perfectly. I had their seasoned potatoes on the side and they were delicious. Our server was great, she was super friendly and helpful. The restaurant was very clean and spacious and there's plenty of seating outside if you prefer to sit outside. If you go to their website and give them your email address you will get some good coupons in the mail like buy one, get one free. Great place for breakfast, brunch or lunch! read more

Another great First Watch experience but this time at a location I have not tried before. I had the Double Bacon Parmesan hash and it was amazing! I usually get the farmhouse hash and I feel like this was a newer version of that meal that I didn't know I needed. All the bacon, the perfectly cooked potatoes, the cheese and arugula were just perfect together. Split the banana pancakes and that was the best sweet treat to a savory breakfast. The space was very nice and modern which was a pleasant surprise compared to other first watches I've been to. Loved the more modern feel to this location. Left full, left happy, great service and a great time. read more

I love First Watch! Everything I've tried is always delicious and tastes fresh. I'm so happy this location opened up close to me and I've been coming maybe once a month with my boyfriend for breakfast. They have a nice bar and outside patio. The servers are always friendly and attentive. It does get packed on the weekends and there's always a wait but if you have the app, you can be added to the waitlist before you leave your house so it's lets of a wait once you arrive. I always bring family and friends here and they love it as well. They always have a seasonal menu with yummy new dishes and drinks. Highly recommend! read more

First Watch - One of the best pancakes I've ever had! Cinnamon chip pancakes seasonal item! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cooper City, Florida

A rather new and very nice addition to the Cooper City area. The staff was very friendly and the place was ridiculously clean and well lit. I liked how nice and spacious everything was while we were taken to our table. Within moments of sitting, our waiter who was an absolutely fabulous man came by to get our drink order and tell us about the specials. I decided to get a pumpkin spice pancakes which were absolutely divine. They had the perfect amount of pumpkin flavoring and the butter that melted on top Blended the dish wonderfully. The coffee I had for my drink was good but could have been a little stronger for my taste. It had a nice robust flavor but nothing spectacular that I'd get again in the future. Prices are a bit on the higher end but I ended up with leftovers so I can justify it because the flavors of the dish were wonderful and the fact I took some home to have later on that day. Great service and food will be the reason I come back here again for sure! read more

It was just another Saturday morning group long run at Piccolo Park when my crew made the best decision to hit up First Watch for brunch. I've been a huge fan since my first visit years ago in Orlando and, as usual, this location didn't disappoint. We staggered in around 11:30--peak brunch chaos time with everyone moving and shaking, and was told the wait would be about 20-25 minutes. No problem though; these guys slid right over to the bar where the drink specials were calling their names. The Million Dollar Bloody Mary and Spiked Lavender Lemonade. Both sips I must say were dangerously good. My other friends went the juice route with Morning Meditation and Purple Haze, both refreshingly delicious and pretty to look at. We paired and shared on their pumpkin spiced donuts, admitting it's pretty challenging not to have more than one. Our bartender Craig was a true gem: friendly, fast, and full of good coffee talk. He schooled us on FW's partnership with a small village in Colombia as he poured my cup. This place is one of the very few where I thoroughly enjoy drinking black coffee. That's saying a lot. As you would guess, we ended up eating right at the bar (I mean, once you've got Craig, why move?). I decided on their Trifecta; eggs, bacon, and a multigrain pancake that barely fit the plate. My crew had biscuits with gravy and more Trifectas all around. Some even ate half to enjoy the rest at home after their post run naps. Simple to admit it's never a disappointment here for me. If I worked here, I'd probably spend my paycheck on pancakes... which means I'd have to run every day just to keep up. read more

First I must say that I had a hard time choosing what to order just because so many menu items sound so good! We asked for the table to be cleaned because it was sticky but were told it's the type of table. Very annoying as our paper napkins kept sticking to the table and I didn't want to put my phone or glasses on the table hmmmm...Breakfast? Lunch? OK, breakfast, the lemon ricotta pancakes. Unfortunately I had to ask for butter and syrup. Really? If you're serving pancakes those are staples. They were delicious, the lemon curd was very strong but I like that. Points for serving the syrup warm. The other 2 people in my party had the market hash breakfast and they were happy. Serving sizes are above average and great presentation. Try the juice bar drinks...sooooooo good. We had Pineapple Express, Kale Tonic and Morning Meditation. Fresh and yummy They also offer brunch cocktails, maybe next trip. Not a long wait for a table on Sunday at 1:00, just waited for them to clear a table for 3. The app tells you the approximate wait time and you can add name to wait list. Service was quick and friendly. Nice, bright decor. This is a new location. Indoor and outdoor seating available. We'll be back. read more

Poor Customer Service from Employee "Anthony" I recently visited First Watch and was shocked by the level of unprofessionalism I experienced from an employee named Anthony, who was working behind the bar area. I politely said "excuse me" as he was walking by toward the kitchen, just to ask for a box. He made direct eye contact, rolled his eyes, and kept walking without saying a word. I thought maybe he didn't hear me, so I said it again, still nothing. Minutes later, he came out carrying a stack of boxes, went straight to the bar, and ignored me completely. It wasn't busy, and there was no reason for that kind of attitude. I later heard that this isn't the first time he's acted this way. That's unacceptable for a restaurant that prides itself on hospitality. The food was good, but his behavior left a lasting negative impression. I hope management takes this seriously and provides proper coaching or retraining. Customers deserve respect and acknowledgment, at the very least, basic courtesy. read more

The food is just as good as their other locations. The service was efficient but could have been faster. Once my coffee arrived I was ok. The interior is very similar to their other locations seems like the same designer does all their stores. For the first time my breakfast potatoes were cooked as I requested them, burnt, they were perfect. Kudos to the chef for the potatoes. I do like them well done!! read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cooper City, Florida

Love this new First Watch location. They did a great job with the space and decor. It's spacious and more updated modern than their other locations. They've been open for about a year now and this is our usual go to spot for breakfast. The patio is nice because they have remote controlled shade coverings that keep the patio cool in this hot and humid Florida weather. First Watch has a seasonal menu which offers limited edition menu items you won't find on the regular menu. I had the shrimp & grits the first time I was here and it was LEGIT!!! So good that I wish they had it on their permanent menu. Everything we had was yummy. Been here a few times now. I had the salmon frittata and thought I was good but a tad dry. Wish it was more of wet eggs and fluffier. Could be improved. Last time I tried the specialty spiced pumpkin pancakes with scrambled eggs and that was good. I don't usually get pancakes for breakfast but they had me at spiced pumpkin. Yes, I'm a pumpkin gal. I also noticed they had chili crisp on one of their menu items so I asked our server for that on the side. I really loved the flavors of the chili crisp and asked what brand they used. Like so good I can eat it on a spoon. So much flavor and good amount of saltiness. Most chili crisps just taste like oil. Lol. A manager or chef came over and let me know the brand is Mr. Bing's. You know I Googled that immediately and will be looking for it or ordering directly. Chili crisp is so BOMB on eggs. Period. Do it!!! read more

We had a great experience overall at First Watch. Our server was wonderful--bubbly, attentive, and very professional in explaining the menu. Our order was taken correctly, the food came out in a timely manner, and everything tasted great. No issues at all with service or food quality. However, I did notice a hygiene concern that should be addressed. We were seated facing the open kitchen, which I actually appreciate for transparency. From that view, I observed a male server with long brown hair past his shoulders, repeatedly touching his hair and then handling plates of food without washing his hands. His hair was also unsecured and bouncing around as he delivered food to tables. In contrast, all the female employees had their hair properly secured in clips or buns, which looked much more appropriate for a food‑service environment. While the rest of the experience was positive, this particular issue didn't look good and raises a valid food‑safety concern. I hope management can address this, so the overall high standard of the restaurant is maintained. read more

we wanted to try some items from the new fall menu - we ordered the chipotle chicken hash, the maple croissant sandwich and the pumpkin pancake. the croissant sandwich was definitely my favorite overall. the pumpkin pancake was just ok. the chipotle chicken hash was pretty much all potato and i think i only had a couple of pieces of chicken in there, that one was kind of disappointing. staff was friendly and service overall was pretty quick. i'd go again for the croissant sandwich read more

This location has very poor management and hostess flow. We were told we'd be texted for seating in around 15, but they turned their back and walked away before they took our number. After we corrected that "error" we waited 30 minutes. Came in to check status, waded through about 30 people crammed in the hostess area, only to be offered a 20-30 min additional wait. Place is chaotic. Lots of empty but uncleared tables, masses of people waiting around. Busy is ok, but wildly inaccurate wait times -- 15 minutes = an hour??? Not cool, and a sign that something is very wrong with this location. We drove off without cancelling, and won't be back. Simply not worth the wait. read more

Kyle was our server today! he was great he was correct & helpful throughout our dining! left him a nice tip

Food is good but I am going to take a star off because of their dumb rule that they don't serve alcohol until 11 on Sunday.

The food is amazing. It's a shame they only are open until 2:30 because I would eat here all day. The French toast was so good. I totally forgot to take pictures but they were so busy we ordered our food right away. It's always packed and for a good reason. I don't remember any music playing haha because I was too contracted on their iced coffee. This is a really good brunch place. read more

I am no fun to go to breakfast with. I am difficult and rarely find something I like to eat. Luckily, First Watch serves some pretty good choices for lunch. I ordered the Purple Haze drink. This is really creative and delicious. You do pay for refills. I heard the coffee is not that great. Anyway, I ordered the roast beef and havarti sandwich. If I would have based my rating on just this, the rating would be low. I thought this sandwich would be delicious. It sounded great to me but was just ok. My avocado chicken salad that I ordered with it was good. I tasted the ham and gruyere cheese melt and thought it was delicious. So was the Cobb salad. Our server paid attention to other tables but not us so much. Actually a manager got me a refill because our server was too busy chatting with the people next to us. The atmosphere is very nice. It feels like I am in another state when I am here. They have a bar and lots of outside seating. read more

First Watch just opened last week so everything is sparkling clean. It is in the same new shopping center as Culver's. There is a good amount of parking yet during busy times it is almost impossible to find a parking spot. Our server popped by every once in a while and never brought an orange juice I ordered. Other than that, this was a great experience. My ham and gruyere cheese melt was really delicious. It was not too salty. The Cobb Salad provided me a healthy amount of salad. This was a lot of food. I tried my daughter's roast beef and havarti sandwich and I did not care for it. She really enjoyed it. The million dollar bacon starter was very good. I have never had bacon with brown sugar? Cayenne, black pepper and maple syrup before. I liked it but not sure I would order this again. They offer lots of breakfast items to choose from. They ate open 7am to 2:30pm daily. read more

Oooooo this First Watch has that new restaurant glow! We usually go to the Davie FW for breakfast, and now this spot opened up closer to us so got to explore the lunch options. Kale salad with chicken was really nice and relatively hearty. Roasted carrots really make a difference to the rustic vibe. Market veggie sandwich was buttery and nice, had great mushrooms, yellow squash, mozzarella cheese and pesto. Iced coffee was good! This location is fancy had a little bar area too for those who are looking to enjoy a mimosa. All staff was so kind, you can tell they are enjoying the new digs too. read more

The service was great the server was amazing the food was good the only things was they were suffering from an infestation of flys all around we sat outside and there was less flies but still there was flies and it was very distracting when it came to being able to enjoy the food and environment. Thank goodness our server was very nice and polite with us but definitely they need to fix this issue with the flies asap we were told they are supposed to have it handled soon and I really hope they do. I would have given more stars if the restaurant didn't have that one issue. The party I came with was not happy about the flies hence why we made it our business to try and eat and leave even though we didn't have much flies outside it was still a pest. read more

We were invited to a soft opening at the new First Watch in Cooper City. There were trainers with all of the wait staff who were making sure customers were greeted quickly and served with excellent service. It was my husbands first time, and only my second time.

Came to check out this new location and had a delicious time. I had the breakfast sandwich which was delish. I loved the soft brioche bun and crispy bacon. I also had the caramel toffee iced coffee with cold foam which was delicious but very sweet. I also had some plain pancakes that were great. The only thing is First Watch is more of a gourmet breakfast place so it's kinda pricey compared to local spots. read more

If you want a change from ihop then I would suggest coming here! It's very fresh, worth it, and delicious! I had the trifecta with chocolate chip pancake and it huge. It's really big so if you want to share you could. The Monterey club which was the turkey sandwich was so so good and fresh. The avocado and bacon gave it a nice touch. The breakfast crunch tacos are very filling if you're not too hungry and the potatoes are always good and well seasoned. But if you can't eat too much salt then make sure to let them know. The chickichanga is so so delicious. The inside has a burst of flavors and has a nice kick to it so if you don't like spicy at all make sure to you the servers know. They're all very attentive of your needs and most of them are nice. It's pretty cool since they have outside seating too but it's a fresh vibe so it's nice to sit inside. read more

Portions where perfect for the price and again the service was fantastic. I absolutely recommend this location for a nice family breakfast or brunch. read more

First Watch - Summer special - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cooper City, Florida

Food is delicious, though overpriced, and nearly everything offered includes avocado. I'm probably in the minority, but avocado is far from my favorite. Every server at every First Watch I've ever been to is top-notch. That's a reason to love this place. So, in general, I like First Watch. The food I select is great. The servers are magnificent. The biggest drawback is the ambient noise. Nothing is done to dampen the loud sound of the crowds who dine there. There were two of us sitting across the table from each other. We were 3 feet apart and couldn't hear each other! The place is clean, and the decor is quite pleasant. My recommendation is that you go during off hours. Then, the noise wouldn't be such an impediment. read more
