Love the food and the servers are prompt . I love the decor too and my favorite is the kale tonic beverage.

First, let me start with the coffee and food. They were great, cooked as requested and tasty. The coffee was smooth. The service was also great, nothing wrong with any of that. So why the 3 stars. I can't hear myself think. The decor is nice but so open it echos. I could hear four different conversation at once all jumbled. We arrived at the end of lunch and packed. Before we left it was less than half full and just as loud in here. Such an easy fix, just padded dividers between the booths would eliminate so much of the noise. I left with a headache. As great as the food was and the service, I won't be able to come back. Maybe an order to go would be okay. read more

Not the biggest fan of the lavender French toast but overall the food was pretty good and as always the service was nice if you like French toast and lavender I'd recommend getting this next time total was about $15.99 read more

Overall: 7/10 First Watch used to be one of my favorite go-to breakfast spots--especially because of their healthier variety and great seasonal options. I've always loved how clean, bright, and modern the place feels. The staff is consistently kind and attentive, and even when it's busy (which it often is!), they keep things running smoothly. That said... I was really disappointed on my recent visit. One of my absolute favorite breakfast treats--the French toast--has changed. They used to serve it on a delicious brioche bread that was the perfect balance of fluffy and sweet. Now, they've switched to a new bread that soaks up the egg batter so much it tastes like I'm just eating eggs. It was overly eggy and just not enjoyable at all. To be fair, the staff was wonderful about it and even brought me out a second one, but the manager kindly explained that it's actually a new recipe and this is just how they make it now. It's a bummer because I only ever eat French toast when I'm out for breakfast, and this was the spot for it. They still have solid sandwiches and other good options, so don't let this stop you from checking them out--but if you're craving classic-style French toast, you might want to pick something else off the menu. Would I come back? Maybe. But definitely not for the French toast. Key positives: Clean, nice staff, fresh modern vibes. Main drawback: French toast recipe change = big letdown. read more

The food tasted a little funky, like one of the ingredients was freezer burnt. The service was good until they brought the check then they disappeared. It was very loud. They have a good variety on the menu but I think it is overpriced. read more

The restaurant looks nice, we went there and once we got seated we asked the waitress if they had steak and she was overall rude over one question. We then said we are leaving after we got drinks and she started giving attitude again. We still gave $20 to the waitress even though all we got was drinks and didn't even drink them. She was still rude after we still tipped her. The attitude from the waitress was horrible didn't feel welcomed at all. read more

First watch is so good! This is my second time visiting but not the same location. The food just melts in your mouth with an incredible amount of flavor. The hostess and waitress were so kind. They were there to give you a nice experience. The setup of the restaurant is really cool too! I liked that they seem to use reclaimed items for some decor. Also they have one of my favorite black teas ever! So good! read more

This is a late post. I went for breakfast & there was a wait. We didn't have to wait more than 10 minutes for a table. I ordered The traditional breakfast. The whole grain artisan toast was delicious. I was happy that they had a non pork meat option. The chicken sausage was delicious. They give you a good amount of food. read more

Cute looking place looks barnish vibes clean open space live the booths cozy appeal. The breakfast is always good never disappoints, even their drinks are a huge hit, cinnamon crunch toast is my fav (I think I said that backwards but that's ok) The service is always fast and they are very attentive. There is a wait if it's early in the morning on a weekend but I find it easier and less wait time if you sign in to the waiting list before you leave your house if there is a long wait time I normally do it from home then by the time I get there I wait about 10 minutes very convenient! My husbands favorite is the biscuits and gravy because for once it's Muslim friendly no pork sausage in the gravy they use beef so we get to enjoy it for once. I don't have a favorite because I like so many different items on the menu but my daughter also has a favorite it's the lemon ricotta pancakes and she loves their home fries (breakfast potatoes) we go there often. I will say one item that I do get often and more so lately is their chia pudding it's amazing it's the AM Super Foods Bowl, healthy and filling. read more

Sup Yelpers? Well still basking in the FLA sunshine. Drove on over to Daytona to touch the Atlantic Ocean. Thought I'd share. Pics aren't of First Watch. Pics are of Daytona. First Watch. Chic, trendy, youthful, waaaaaay too healthy for me, but it seems to be the best spot to grab brunch in Daytona. If you're a healthy eater, this is the place. Whole grain this, turkey that. Um. Okay. I almost feel like they would serve meals to patrons on tread mills with small tables attached. Run and eat it's so healthy. Whole grain pancakes, served with syrup and butter? Then why not just serve actual buttermilk pancakes? I passed. Went with gravel and squirrel food toast. No serving sourdough here. I love the concept of eating healthy when it tastes good. Here, you don't feel like you're sacrificing flavor for health. Gotta go. Take care. read more

This place is amazing and I always love their bacon. I feel like it's a special treat when I get this place for breakfast

I've been here a number of times, and I have finally sat down to write a review after our last visit. To begin, I love the food here... it's always fresh and flavorful... They have a lot of healthy choices, and some not so healthy but equally delicious choices. On our last visit, I tried the chicken, chorizo and egg tacos, and they were really good; just enough heat to keep them interesting, but not so spicy that I needed to drink the entire carafe of water at the table. I did ask for some sour cream just to cool things down a bit... The cheese grits sounded good, but other than the cheese on top had no flavor or seasoning so I found them just ok. My hubby had the farmhouse skillet and found it savory and filling. But, the reason I dropped a star is the service... There are times we can go, and it's like we're the most important diners in the room: we get served quickly, drinks on the table, food nice and hot, several checks to make sure we have everything we need, the bill comes right on time... other times it's like three different waiters/tresses can walk by and act as if we're not even there... And, it doesn't seem to matter if we're inside or out (which they do allow dogs and makes this a 4 star and not a 3 star) we just can't get anyone's attention to get served, our food, the thing they missed on our order, more water/drink, our bill... you get the idea... I say, go for the food, sit outside with your dog on a nice day and enjoy one of their adult mixed beverages which are pretty yummy... just know you'll spin the lottery wheel on the service... read more

The bad : it was early with very little customers and my server took entirely too long to come acknowledge his table. The good : the food was amazing and came to the table extremely quickly.

I have eaten at a First Watch in Tulsa, OK which was excellent. In Daytona, FL it was awful. The potatoes were so salty they were inedible. They gave us cheese grits instead and it's plain grits with shredded cheese on top. The Smoked Salmon Benedict hollandaise had so much lemon in it that it masked the flavor of the entire dish. The breakfast sandwich and omelette were good but not excellent. Servers were very nice. The management has to improve food or they won't stay in business. read more

Went for my mom's birthday since she's been really wanting to go, sat at the community table because it was just her and I. Took 20 minutes just for a server to take our order. Sat for another 30 minutes before our server realized our food still had not come which was ok because it was busy. For then my food to come out my scrambled eggs were under cooked and they forgot my mom's bacon. After breakfast I did not feel good and all I had was the eggs and bacon with some of my fruit cup. Great atmosphere but unfortunately will probably not be going back. read more

My two granddaughters and I had a delicious breakfast at First Watch this morning. I had oatmeal, and the girls both ordered from the kids' menu and were served generous portions. The hostess was friendly and helpful as we entered, and we received service very quickly. Our server, Rachel, was terrific. She helped me sort out questions about allergens, she immediately connected with the children, and she was prompt and efficient. Of course, restaurants are about the food, but it's the people that work there who determine if a meal is comfortable and enjoyable. Rachel made our breakfast delightful today. Thanks! :) read more

Tried this place out and was not disappointed. The power breakfast bowl was really good. Two things that could have been better. Coffee was eh (bitter) and grits was eh (watery, no flavor). It's a popular spot so get there early so you don't have to wait. Food did take a bit long to come out but it's was busy. Friendly staff and Ambiance was nice. I will be back read more
