    On Friday morning, I had a work meeting with my employee here and she arrived first & grabbed a table near the window, which I love. Lots of parking near the door and across the way & I actually snagged one in the shade as it was already 80 degrees outside. I skipped the hostess but motioned to her that I saw my party and as soon as I sat down, our server asked if I'd like a glass of water - yes please! She had already placed 2 coffee mugs and a coffee urn on the table, which I LOVE. When I want a coffee refill, I don't want to have to wait for the server to come back around. The same was done with the water - great way to keep your servers efficient, management. The server gave us a minute to look at the menu and we both chose the trifecta - me with the waffle and she with the pancake. I had ordered my eggs over-medium and they came out fine. I love my bacon crispy but my 1st piece was a little like beef jerky! I picked up another piece, hoping for better and it was fine. Very crispy, so maybe they want to pull it out before it gets too tough. I loved the waffle - kind of hard to mess that up but it was very good and with the little bowl of jam (or sort of a fruit puree but not really) to top it. The syrup arrives warm and stays warm - very nice! Our service was awesome, which one would expect, since they were practically empty (see photos) at 9am. But by the time we left, around 10:30 - there was not an empty seat in the place! That's when those coffee urns really come in handy. I did feel bad because we didn't notice until we placed our order that there were no electrical outlets for me to plug in my laptop (it's old and doesn't hold a charge long), so we waited until after we ate to have our meeting and had to move to a booth to use the receptacle. Our server was a little disappointed that we didn't order anything, so we tried to keep our business meeting VERY short. Sorry! The only negative I have is to please clean your restroom!!! After a great meal, the last thing you want is to step into a room that smells like urine! And only 2 stalls - no! There were people waiting when I walked in and when I walked out and we ALL commented about the awful smell. Bleach the sinks and floors and for goodness sake get a lemony-smelling plug-in.

    I absolutely LOVE First Watch!! It is my go to breakfast/brunch place and it never lets me down. I have never had a problem with any service, it gets busy sometimes but I never wait too long to be sat. I love how much seating there is and how bright and lively it is inside. I definitely recommend the eggs Benedict and the honey caramel crunch coffee (if you like sweet coffee)!

    Very busy Sunday brunch rush hour. We were served quickly and efficiently. The food was very filling and satisfying as everything was hot, flavorful, and complex. The carne asada hash was a full assortment of eggs, crispy potatoes, peppers, cheese and topped with avocado. It also came with tortillas for making delicious breakfast tacos. The donuts were super sweet when dipped in chocolate and the jam. I would get the carne asada dish when I was looking for a flavorful and very filling dish to hold you over a long day of traveling.

    Have been a First Watch before. This is a good one. The waiter we had was very friendly and helpful. The wait was short but we had a reservation. Best to do so especially during a weekend. The pancakes were fluffy and tasty. One downside was the eggs benedict arrived with the eggs way too runny, I sent them back and by the time I got them re fired it was with the same side (which was cold by then) and after my entire party had already eaten. Hoping may our next visit will be better

    Breakfast at First Watch was great! The food we ordered was delicious. I had a seasonal breakfast plate with a pumpkin pancake. It's was really delicious. My wife ordered herself the Tri-fecta which she also enjoyed. The server was very polite and showed us some recommendations on the menu since it was our first time. We were able to get there at a good time and we noticed that it gets pretty busy. We will definitely stop by there again for breakfast. Great place over all.

    The food is always cooked to order and fresh. I have eaten at the franchise in Fort Worth and Dallas. I have never had any regrets. The selections are good and there appears to be something for everyone on the menu. The service is always fast and friendly. The wait staff never seem bothered about questions regarding menu selections and most wait staff are eager to share their favorite dish from the menu. The ambiance is rather modern and the atmosphere gives off a good vibe for families or people looking to catch up over a great meal. I have also dined here alone several times. There is plenty to see on most days. If you are looking for a brunch type of menu for anytime of the day, come and try out this place. Most locations can get busy really quick but the wait on a busy day is usually 20 minutes.

    Although noisy inside (busy Saturday morning), the menu is full of healthy and tasty choices. Friendly and quick service, good coffee, and servings sizes are just right (unlike most breakfast places that give too much, making me over-eat or need a take-home box)! I would recommend playing semi-classical or even mild/soft guitar music in the background to encourage the clientele to speak to one another in softer tones/lower volume.

    Fly on food. Still charged

    This place is a hype. I forgot to add my review but was just cleaning out my photos and found the pic w/the fly on my good that they still made me pay for. It was Father's day weekend. It was busy. Waiter was not doing a good job. Corn bread was asked for at the beginning and it came out at the end. Literally asked her for it twice. Cornbread was a hype. Hubby order the brisket hash. Had about two pieces of small brisket. Lemon pancakes-hype. Eggs were terrible. Only thing that was hood was the strawberry french toast and that isnt enough for us to come back. Breakfast for 65.00 ... what a waste!! Update!!!! Manager told me to email them. I did FIVE days ago and got no response. So I came to the conclusion that they replied to review just to look concerned and helpful.

    Cafe Duro is a must when visiting the Lower Greenville area!…read more I recently visited this amazing European-style café during breakfast on a weekday and it was amazing. Please note that parking in this area is particularly difficult but if you come in the morning, it should be easier to find. Another thing worth nothing is that they are more of a quick standing coffee bar type of place and I definitely wouldn't recommend it for families or kids, so keep that in mind when visiting. Now to the food... They have a small but mighty menu for breakfast and lunch. For my first time I decided to try their The Monte Duro, which is a pastry style "hot pocket" with smoked prosciutto, mortadella, mustard and jam. For drink I decided to go with their Dirty Chai Latte. The drink was absolutely perfection and exactly what I needed in a warm Texas morning. The Monte Duro was cooked to perfection and packed with flavor! Both my friend and I ordered the same thing and we were both obsessed with it.

The staff is not really friendly but the vibes were still peaceful. Mushroom grilled cheese: This was so yummmy!! The bread comes perfectly crispy and buttery. There were tons of mushrooms and creamy flavor. By far one of the best grilled cheeses I ever had. Banana horchata matcha: This drink was very sweet and good for people that dont like bitter drinks. I loved the banana flavor and it reminded me of banana bread. There was also a lot of cinnamon in the drink which made it so tasty.

The music is nice and you can tell they really focus on creating a beautiful Mediterranean experience. The food is completely incredible and very unique. This is not your average Greek pita place. This is a restaurant that could easily be in Turkey for some European country. We started with the Mezza platter ( $29) - which included 6 different dips. It's pricey for an appetizer, but it is definitely worth it because it's so unique and flavorful. It was probably my favorite thing that we ate. Everything felt just a little bit overpriced for what it is. My baseline comparison is Hillstones and R&D, and this is definitely Hillstone's pricing, but not the same experience overall. My wife and I shared the lamb shank and the falafel platter and also had a side of cauliflower (which was incredible). My 3 year old had the kids item which was $18!?. it was all very very good. My wife and I had a glass of wine and the average price was $18. They also had no descriptions of what style of wine it was e.g. Cabernet Sauvignon. When I asked the server, he just recommended the Caymus. The service was transactional and something you would get at most fast casual restaurants. I get that a lot of the servers are not professional servers. For the mezze platter, it would've been helpful to have an explanation of what was on it. Basically they brought the food. They took our order and that was it. Parents: they have one kids meal which included four chicken kebabs and a side of either rice or fries ($18). The price felt very steep for a kids meal. I probably would rather have had half the portion size for half the price.

Super cute space, great music, and a cool, relaxed ambiance that immediately makes you want to stay awhile. There were about a dozen seats total and it was roughly 80% full, which felt lively without being chaotic. The two girls behind the counter were absolute sunshine--warm, bubbly, and genuinely welcoming. That alone made the experience feel good from the start. Service was also lightning fast; my drink was ready in under two minutes. Now, the letdown: the matcha. They don't make actual matcha here. Instead, it's a pre-made mix that gets heated and combined with whole milk. For matcha lovers, this is... disappointing. The flavor was extremely bland--drinkable, sure, but uninspiring. I'd have it again only if there were no other options nearby. And that's the thing--this location is very close to the Civic Coffee area, which makes it hard not to recommend going there instead if matcha is your priority. All that said: great ambiance, pleasant experience, friendly staff, and moderate pricing. Nothing bad happened here at all.

If you're anywhere near Dallas (or even willing to drive a bit), this spot is an absolute must-visit. We made the trek from Houston, and let me tell you, it was worth every single mile of that 4-hour drive. I'd happily do it again in a heartbeat! From the moment we walked in, the owners greeted us with such genuine warmth and welcoming energy that it felt like stepping into a cozy French café with friends. They were incredibly kind, chatty, and made our family feel right at home, such a refreshing touch in today's world! The lattes were nothing short of amazing, rich, perfectly balanced, and exactly what we needed to kick things off. My personal highlight was the tiramisu latte. It was perfectly sweet, not overpowering, with that classic coffee-infused decadence. For our main crepes, my husband and I split the Steakhouse (Philly Cheesesteak-style with ribeye, provolone sauce, mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers--pure savory heaven) and the Chicken Carbonara (grilled chicken, mozzarella, bacon, parmesan, and creamy sauce, indulgent and flavorful). Both were stuffed generously, with that signature thin, delicate crepe wrapping everything up beautifully. Our daughter went for the pizza crepe, which she loved, but she also wanted soup on the side. The team was so accommodating. They happily made it happen without any fuss, which meant the world to us as parents. We couldn't resist dessert, and the berry crème brûlée crepe was a showstopper! Torched vanilla cream with fresh berries. It was creamy, crunchy on top, and bursting with bright fruit flavors. Absolute perfection to end the meal. Everything felt fresh, thoughtful, and made with care. The vibe in Snider Plaza is charming too, right near SMU, with that lovely neighborhood feel. Sweet Paris has quickly become one of our favorite spots, hands down. If you're craving authentic French-inspired crepes with a side of exceptional hospitality, stop what you're doing and head there. Five stars aren't enough, it's a solid 10/10 for us! Can't wait to go back. Also, we were so hungry that we inhaled it all before we could get photos, next time!
