Berry French toast
Jensen H.

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.

Summer menu

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.

Always a delicious visit. Greeted when you walk in and seated immediately. Waitress gave us a pot of coffee and took our order. Food was delicious as always. Price is right as well. Looking forward to the new location closer to our home soon.

The food and service here was pretty excellent. I enjoyed the taste of everything I had. My omelette was great and I loved the little donut balls they had. The servers were very friendly and the facility was clean. I'd come here again. You should check it out.

Traditional Breakfast

Once we got our food it was delicious. We have eaten at other First Watch and had way better service. The server had a personal issue and disappeared which wouldn't have been so bad except he didn't turn in our order. So 35 min later we got the food. So food was good and service not

Chicken quinoa breakfast bowl
Miguel C.

We were in the area we were ready for a healthy brunch . We really liked their menu , lots of healthy ingredients other places ignore to use in their menu . Like use cage free eggs , fresh house organic greens , house baked artisan breads, house made dressing, love their teas, I had the blackberry tea was great . A must try is the morning meditation drink , It had ginger ,turmeric ,beets juice it was amazing . They do vegan , gluten free all fresh local farmed ingredients. I had the vacado omelette with a side of fruit . My wife had the pesto chicken quinoa bowl it was delicious . Plenty of seating .This place must be popular cause the place was packed ,The food service is great our server was great . The only down side it was a bit noise for me thought. But I would like to come back and try some more items on their menu ..

Starwberry Tres Leches French Toast
Zach M.

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!

The Traditional Breakfast
Sharisse B.

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.

Floridian French Toast topped with fresh fruit
Jack B.

Jillian perfectly served delicious breakfast that included thick cut brioche bread topped with banana, strawberry and kiwi. The fruit was some of the best we've had in a while. The works omelette was filled with ham,bacon, sausage, crimini mushrooms and cheese and is a favorite. First Watch continues to deliver great food and service.

Cocktails across the street from Daytona International Speedway

Always enjoy First Watch but the added bonus of Daytona International Speedway being across the street made this brunch spot unique!

A Standout Find in Daytona Beach!…read more Our family of six ventured to Daytona for a visit to Buc-ee's and wanted to find somewhere special to eat closer to the water. We're so glad we discovered Farm to Fit! What a fantastic surprise. This little bistro is seriously underrated. We're New York Metro foodies, so we have pretty high expectations when it comes to fresh, flavorful food, and Farm to Fit absolutely delivered. Everything we ordered was fresh, beautifully prepared, and genuinely delicious. We tried the Cuban sandwich, Chicken Club, Shrimp Bowl, Chicken Sandwich with sweet potato salad, and Salmon Bowl. The Salmon Bowl was a standout and easily one of our favorites. We also sampled the Key Lime Pie and cheesecake, because apparently six people need dessert research too. Both were delicious. We all left feeling completely satisfied and already talking about coming back. There's something special about finding a place that feels like a hidden gem, where the food is thoughtfully prepared and the people genuinely care about what they're serving. Daytona is lucky to have Farm to Fit and its wonderful team. Kudos to the staff we met for making our experience even better! This was such a fun find, and I honestly can't wait to return!

If you're looking for a great local spot, this one is definitely worth a visit!…read more Cute space, beautifully decorated, and a super friendly staff that made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. As someone with celiac disease, I especially appreciated how knowledgeable they were about gluten-free dining. Their menu is truly farm-to-table, and the majority of their dishes are either naturally gluten-free or can be made gluten-free without sacrificing flavor. We each had a salad, and we shared the Buffalo Chicken Dip--which was absolutely delicious! It's always exciting to find a restaurant that takes gluten-free seriously while serving fresh, flavorful food. I'll definitely be back!

I asked to have them made extra crispy before getting tossed into the sauce and that's exactly what I got. The sauce was spicy and flavorful, not so hot that you can't taste the "Zingers" at all.

We waited about 5 minutes after being given menus before a "server" came over. This man seemed to think we were there for entertainment. Everything that came out of his mouth was loud and somewhat irritating. He wouldn't stop with the poor humor and refused it seemed to just act professionally. Placing our order was uncomfortable. We ordered a burger and salad for my wife and 12 wings for myself. When ordering, the server kept saying "AND" after we would state what we wanted. He was trying to push us to order more? He continued to a point that we almost got up and walked out. What he failed to realize was that we were out for a simple and quiet late afternoon meal, not a Gong Show audition by him. Almost 35 minutes passed. Yes, 35 minutes. The server stopped by and believe it or not, grabbed the table side ordering device and had to check to see if HE actually put in the order. He left and returned about 5 minutes later with the order. The wings were inedible. The first thing I noticed is they were dried out. Not even warm on the outside yet somewhat steamy on the inside. The sauce was dried out on most of them. And then came the taste test. Have you ever eaten wings that were old? The wings were so salty I almost spit them out. I held back due to being in a public area. The worst. Salt beyond understanding. I tried a second and the same thing. I had my wife try part of another and she gagged. My wife's burger was tasteless. It fell apart, all 1/4 inch thickness. Nothing better than a low end Walmart frozen patty. When I attempted to get the server to raise the issue, he was too busy socializing and cracking jokes with a table a few feet away. He and another server were telling all sorts of stories with people at the table. It took us around 7 minutes to finally flag down a bus boy to go get his attention. When the server came over, he addressed me initially as though I was making a mistake, almost questioning my concern. He asked to replace the wings and I said no. What was served was awful. The items weren't prepared with the wrong sauce or undercooked, these were "off". It took the server over 10 more minutes to remove the item from our bill. As we were moving out of the booth to leave, the manager came over and couldn't care any less. She made a non-serious gesture by asking if there was something she could order for us, AS WE WERE LEAVING. She demonstrated no concern, no apology, no empathy etc. She never came over to even ask for our input from the original issue. She didn't care, plain and simple. She dismissed us as though she was wasting her time even talking to us. I have a gift card balance of around $14 that will forever go unspent. I'm not sure what happened to this place but it's a complete mess when it comes to food and professionaiism.

I loved the entrance and the overall vibe--it definitely gave me Tulum vibes! Our server was great and gave us some recommendations based on his favorites from the menu. He also mentioned that they have rib specials on Tuesdays, which was definitely good to know for our next visit! Now let's get into the food because everything was SO good!

The fettuccine alfredo sauce on the pasta was a bit bland, but the pasta itself was great. Server was kind and provided great menu recommendations. I recommend grabbing a reservation on their website for the outdoor booth with marina views. It has a club vibe on weekend nights after 10:30pm with a DJ, but a modern, fun spot with great small plates.

The inside of this place is super cute, and it feels every bit like a family owned restaurant, which I loved. We had a reservation, and we showed up about 5 minutes early, but then 2 other parties of 2 who arrived after us were seated before us even though one of them was a walk in. They were both seated at 4 tops, so I was thinking maybe that's why we didn't get those tables, but when we were finally seated we also got a 4-top. We waited about 20 minutes before I finally asked the host, and then they seated us at the next table that was bussed. Our table was a little tucked away around a corner where you couldn't see it from the entrance. Now, growing up as a person of color, I'm more inclined to notice when I'm the only person of color in a space than most white people I've met are. So, I noticed almost immediately that all the white people who arrived after us were sat before us in very visible tables and then I (the lone brown person) was sat around the corner away from the entry. Now, I don't know these people, so I have absolutely no reason to think that this was intentional, but I need them to realize how it might look. You have to be cognizant of things like that. Even if they just forgot to seat us and the hidden table happened to be the next available, it looked very bad. Now, the server who was assigned to us was awesome. We told her we were in town for Rockville and we all talked about music. She was super nice and attentive. For food, I got the catch of the day grilled with grits and mashed potatoes. When I ordered this, I don't think I imagined how unappetizing it would look. Nevertheless, the fish was well cooked, but I found myself wishing that the grits were a little cheesier, the potatoes were a little smoother, and the fish had a sauce. It was a very drab plate both visually and from a flavor perspective. My companion got the francaise with scallops. It was good, but not enough to fill him up (which we would've expected from the price). So would I go back here? Probably not. I think that this place is kind of overrated, possible because there aren't a lot of nicer options in Daytona. Again, our server was awesome, but the food didn't stand up to our expectations, and the initial experience with getting seated was disappointing at best.
