Market Veggie Sandwich tomato soup
Karthik S.

Good veg sandwich and soup! Their beet drink was best. A bit of waiting time in the mornings but worth it!

When I get that brunch text from friends, I don't even look where we're going because I am automatically in! This was my first time visiting a First Watch, and I left the restaurant so blissfully content that I actually forgot my keys! Don't worry, they kept them safe for me and I got them back next day. The service was fantastic, and our server was so sweet and patient with us. She never once made us feel rushed or guilty for hanging out and chit chatting. We are "ladies who lunch", after all. Just kidding, it was Sunday and we have full time jobs and barely find time to meet up on weekends. Anyways, back to First Watch. As soon as we sat down, I just went straight out with it and said, "I'm craving donuts!!" Lucky enough, one of their seasonal menu items just so happens to be their Holey Donuts which are little cinnamon sugar dusted cake donut holes with chocolate sauce and a warm mixed berry compote for dipping. Needless to say, I was in donut heaven. For my main dish, I ordered the BLTE which is a classic BLT but with two over-hard eggs, cheese, and mayo on artisan whole grain bread. I LOVED it. It was the perfect amount of saltiness that was needed after those donut holes. Originally, I went in thinking I was going to try one of their fresh juices but I was coerced into getting a brunch cocktail. Honestly, as soon as this drink hit my lips all regret went away - it was the Spiked Lavender Lemonade with New Amsterdam 5X distilled vodka, lemon, cane sugar, butterfly pea flower tea and a hint of lavender. My new favorite cocktail. I'm ready to go back again this weekend!

Ample parking, well lit, clean floors, great menu options, superior service. What more can you ask for? This place hit a home run with the ambiance and energy that matched my thought process. My server Hamza was engaged and direct. I ordered a morning mediation and a morning market veggie omelette with roasted zucchini, onions, crimini mushrooms tomatoes, roasted peppers, whipped up into a cage free egg omelette. Everything was exceptional. I realized that the energy you bring into a dining experience can sometimes constitute how your rating will be. Make your day equal to how you want to feel inside. Good food feeds the spirit Cheers

Veggie Omelette with Goat Cheese  Eggs Benedict

Another good brunch at First Watch. We added a new dish today...Breakfast Tacos. Plentiful and yummy like everything else we have tried.

AM Superfoods "bowl" to go. :(

Over $13.00 for a small cup of chia seed pudding and cold toast. Come on First Watch, you can do better on to go orders. I've had this breakfast before in the restaurant, and there are better ways of presenting/serving than this. I expected a to-go BOWL like it's done in the restaurant, not a tiny cup. There are bowls used at Açaí bowl places like Playa Bowls. This small cup is unacceptable.

Bacon piece

I usually love first watch and never have any issues however this location reallllyyyy tested me today. I ordered the morning market veggie omelette with seasoned potatoes. Its a simple order, there were no customizations or anything. I received 2 chicken quinoa bowls???? They apologize and remake the meal, all is good. I got my order and found a bacon piece in my veggie omelet. How does any of this make sense? As a vegetarian this was very frustrating. Not happy

I got the lentil soup, which you couldn't tell was lentil, but tasted good. I would go back when in the area! Waitress was wonderful! Fast and polite.

Gardenia is easily one of my new favorite Mediterranean spots in the area. I visited with my wife,…read moreand everything from the food to the service was excellent. We started with the hummus and pita, which was a great surprise. I'm not usually a big hummus fan, but theirs has a really smooth, clean flavor. The pita was warm and soft, and the mix of black olives with olive oil on the side added a really nice touch. My wife ordered the lentil soup, and after trying a spoonful, I immediately regretted not ordering my own. It is easily one of the best lentil soups I've had -- full of flavor, rich, comforting, and seasoned perfectly. Definitely top-two in my book. For the entrée, I chose the large mixed grill platter (around $50), which comes with steak, chicken, lamb, and another kebab. It also includes two generous portions of rice, grilled vegetables, and tzatziki. The amount of food is impressive and absolutely enough for two people to share. The meats were tender, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. For dessert, my wife went with the chocolate mousse while I tried the pistachio cake. Both were excellent -- the mousse was rich and smooth, and the pistachio cake had great texture and flavor. One of the highlights for me was actually the mango lemonade. The first sip really stood out -- refreshing, balanced, and surprisingly good. The restaurant itself is very clean with a nice setup and comfortable seating. The owners and staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. You can tell they are proud of what they serve. Parking is easy since it's part of a larger shopping center with plenty of spaces. There is still a lot on the menu I want to try next time -- especially the gyros. I'm very happy Cumming has a Mediterranean spot this solid. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys great food and great service.

We got seated quickly with menus and decided to go with the masala order and two Mysore masala orders. The potato stuffing and chutneys were definitely on the spicier side but liked the sweetness of the ginger chutney to balance it out. The sambhar was also quite tasty. We also liked how fresh the potato stuffing and sambhar was and overall how filling the dish was. I definitely do want to come back and next time try their fusion pizzas which looked like a popular item!

The full fish filet ends up being quite large, with the other food and sides would definitely be enough to sate two. We ordered the General's Platter for two which was a full fish filet, four jumbo shrimp/prawns, six hush puppies (definitely not English), and a choice of more commonwealth style Chips or American fries. Food was overall excellent, freshly made, with authentic batter and a pretty good tartare sauce. Also with classic lemon and malt vinegar to complete the look. Staff are extremely nice and accommodating; order at the counter and they will bring to you at the table, seat yourself. Also a bar for some draughts and drinks but it was lunchtime and nobody was partaking. Store is dressed up head to toe heaps of Brit ephemera and otherwise but is super casual! Sitting and eating next to Mr. Bean was fun. Parking available on the street but probably recommended to park in the structure behind. Only problem is the store was playing American music and not the Brit classics!
