We are always looking for a good breakfast spot on Sunday mornings. The first watch was really good. I had eggs and pancakes and my wife had avocado toast. Eggs were great and pancakes were multi grain (very good). I liked that they left a pitcher of coffee and a decaf pitcher for my wife...Also a warm bottle of syrup. Service was prompt and courteous. Only knock was we had to wait 20 minutes in a unheated vestibule. We will be going back, but earlier... read more

This was a great place. The fresh squeezed juice was great. My picky kids were plate cleaners that day. I had Açaí and goat with Almond butter and sea salt. It was great and very filling. It was a bit pricey though for a lunch. read more

Ordered from here on New Year's Day. Curbside pick up. I arrived on time. Waited in my car for 15 min.no one showed. So I went inside. Waited again for 5 min before anyone offered to help by this time food was cold. When I got it home it was not what I ordered . Very disappointed. read more

Not impressed will not return. Service very slow. Took an hour and a half just to have breakfast. Ordered steel cut oats but did not come as described on the menu missing house marinated berries and pecans. Trifecta eggs barely cooked barely scrabbled. Server very unengaged. read more

Great place and great food. Skillets are good. Service is good too. Very fresh place.

I had been to the First Watch in Newtown Square and had loved it. The restaurant was clean and the food was great. It was such a disappointment to have the complete opposite experience at this location. The restaurant was dirty - dirty menus, sticky table, stained coffee mug. Other than the kids pancakes, our food was bland. I had the avocado toast and it was off and tasteless. Not impressed and not coming back to this location. read more

Absolutely loved their food! Everything was so good and really fresh! I got their healthy turkey omelette and it was really good! The only thing that was weird was that if I didn't ask they would not have mixed in the ingredients while cooking they would have been placed in afterwards read more

This was the second time I'd been at a First Watch restaurant (my first experience having been to a Florida location) and my feelings were mixed. The staff is extremely welcoming, friendly and accommodating. The service at the exton location is verrrrrrry slow. We were seated pretty quickly with the 3 toddlers in our group but after ordering, waited over an hour for food, which made it tough to keep the little ones occupied. I would try First Watch again but likely not at this location, at least until their service develops some speed and efficiency. read more

Never ate there before, needed to find a breakfast place since we're working in the area. Very pleased with the selection. Atmosphere was wonderful and the food was the icing on the cake, just perfect couldn't of had any better and not a long wait at All. Staff was very nice and pleasant. Would defiantly recommend to anyone. read more

Food is always hot and comes out in a timely manner, service is great. They space you out nicely from other guests. Felt comfortable bringing my toddler there. Thank you! read more

Made us wait 10 minutes once seated and no service. Several others seared and got service. Finally a waitress and she said sorry she was in the bathroom! read more

I've been to this location and the one in Audubon, twice to each. Sadly only one visit was actually good in terms of food and service. The other 3 times the food was far from good and the service was just as poor. I have stopped telling people to go here now, just can't recommend it. read more

The food is amazing, however, one of the female servers was very rude. She brought out my million dollar bacon and was tilting the plate so all the bacon almost fell off the plate. She brought out my tri fecta as well and was not pleasant. I honestly did not want to say it was my food. She walked around the store rolling her eyes and shaking her head. She also dropped bacon on another table and picked it up with her fingers and put it back on the plate. She didn't look like she apologized and she walked away miserable. As for food I would come back, but not for this waitress. read more

Delicious filling breakfast, low priced, great service. Cozy, hipster environment. Highly recommended.

I loved eating here in exton but the staff is hit or miss. Not usually so bad I feel inclined to write a review though until now. Our server melissa was terrible. It didn't appear busy in the restaurant being only half full but she basically ignored us. We ate next to the kitchen and had to listen to her complain about how her new coworkers sucked at their jobs while she herself was giving us the worst service. It sounded like maybe they had a high turn over rate with staff. Probably because everyone there looks miserable and angry all the time. She got our order wrong but I didn't get the chance to tell her because she never checked on us again until dropping the check. I tried waving her down to point out the drinks we were charged for but never got. Without approaching us we made eye contact and she walked back into the kitchen just to say to someone "I'm not dealing with this shit today". My husband and I will gladly drive the extra miles to eat at a different first watch location from now on. read more

The waitress with the green hair is very rude. Absolutely a horrible and mean trainer to a trainee. Food isn't that good for the money. I asked for a glass of ice water and I got a pitcher of water with no ice in it. read more

My husband and I went there for brunch! What a nice spot! Best decor and people! Food is fresh and yummy. Drinks were so delicious, we are going to be regulars for sure! read more

Brand new First Watch location. Been to a few locations across the country. They are all one in the same. Food is always very food. Staff is friendly. They are always busy. The hostess was very helpful explaining the app they have and how you can use it to reserve a table and see your place in line. Will definitely be going here more often with it being only 10 mins away! read more

First Watch - Eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Exton, Pennsylvania

Kurrie was a great server we brought our 1yr old they got his food out right away without us asking and the restaurant was very accommodating to any of his needs food was awesome and great house juice blends read more

It's always busy no matter the time of day, the waitstaff and bussers are very annoying and nosey busybodies

I want to give this place a better rating, but twice with the same experience seems like a trend to me. Wait times are terrible. Whatever system they have with their app, doesn't seem efficient and those who don't call/check-in-ahead with the app end up waiting forever. Once we finally got seated the service was more than sub-par. Same server I have had twice and he's forgetful, inattentive, more interested in talking to his fellow staff buddies than ensuring silverware and napkins were on our table when the food came out. The only redeeming quality here is the food. But for that reason, I would rather go elsewhere, and have a glass of champagne with my brunch. read more

Worst. Service. Ever. Rude waiter. His excuse for making us wait 10 mins for water? "I have other tables you know".

Love first watch, I've liked everything Ive so far. House made bread and jam and granola are great. I used to really like their salted Carmel cookies but last time I got one it was kinda dry and not as good. But loved everything else. read more

The food is very good and the menu is very extensive. On Weekends ( and even some weekdays) wait times are long for both seating and service. The Wait App is very helpful in avoiding long waits for seating. On weekends, it can take a half hour after your order to get served. If one is prepared to work within these limitations, the reward is a bit pricey but very tasty Brunch dishes. The Frittatas are really terrific and reasonably priced. Our server was very attentive and took notice how long we were waiting for our orders to be served. read more

First time here and it was a chaotic Saturday morning. Their online check in is nice to shorten the wait time. Food was ok but wouldn't go out of the way to order again. Our waiter was kind but forgot several things like requested drinks and silverware. I also saw him wipe his sweat with his hand multiple times and then handle plates before washing his hands. I don't understand the hype and won't be coming back. read more

Amazing brunch/breakfast options - many very healthy, too! Also have delicious fresh juices. Recommend for sure!

Place makes Nudy's Cafe look like a high school cafeteria. Love the presentation and quality of food. Service was outstanding!

We dined in and unfortunately I was charged twice for an entree we didn't order and they did not apply the coupon for the buy one get one free entree, the meal also took a very very long time to come out very disappointed we love going out to breakfast. read more

Food is really good, but pricey. Be sure to sign in online before you go. Long waits. Understaffed as most places seem to be these days. Slow service. Not the place to go if you somewhere to be. read more

Fresh and healthy for a reasonable price. Tons of options all with quality ingredients.. the coffee is great too.

Just average. Not good or great. With Bristo 21 down the street, I can't see this place staying open. The brunch is soooo much better and cheaper at Bristo 21 read more

Horrible. The Hostess didn't put our names on the list. Seated other groups that showed up after us ahead of us. Waited 45 minutes for a Cobb Salad and omelet. The kitchen was backed up big time for every table we saw. Completely average and boring food I can make myself. read more

I am always excited to try a new breakfast/brunch place. I had a coupon for buy one get one free meals, so I was even more eager to go here. The service was good. Unfortunately, both of our meals did not have any taste. My husband had the trifecta and I had egg tacos. I used half of the bottle of hot sauce to try to enjoy my meal. We will not be coming back when we can go to other breakfast places in the area that are delicious. I gave this 3 stars because it was not the worst breakfast I had, but defiantly not anywhere close to the best. read more

This is a mixed review. Have been here several times and the food is very good, consistently. Love the different options they offer. That is why I come back. However, this location needs serious improvements with there staff....consistently SLOW! I've been here when there were only a few tables and it has still been slow! Takes forever for the server to greet and take your drink order. You should never sit 5-10 mins waiting for your server. And if you ask for anything additional forget it....again takes forever!! Not sure what the disconnect is with the service but it really should be addressed by the manager. This place could easily be 5 stars with just a simple improvement with the staff. read more

The worst! Checked in and told it was a 20 min wait. Over an hour later people coming in with same size party were being seated in less than 5 min. Wait. Asked the host, apparently they give online check in priority so every time someone checks in on line you drop down the list and the wait is longer even though you are there and waiting on property. Still #14 on the list after an hour wait because of this. Left and went elsewhere. I will never go back. Totally messed up process. read more

First time here. Johan has demonstrated a great customer attention to the details of the order. He had a good knowledge of entrees and beverages on the menu. All special requests were handled with care. The quality of food is great. Perfect place for a healthy breakfast and lunch for any taste. read more

Service was S-L-O-W. Food took extraordinarily long given it wasn't crowded. Three people at our table and everyone's food came out at different times despite ordering the same thing. Waitress never came by to check on us or to offer refills on beverages. read more

We waited 30 minutes for our food which is long for breakfast food. The eggs Benedict I ordered was sub-par--the bread was toasted too much and I couldn't cut it easily. The noise level was high and our server was not attentive, especially with the long wait for food. We won't be returning any time soon. read more

We were excited to try First Watch! Prior to coming, We joined their email club which gifted a BOGO entree. We went right when they opened (7am Saturday) and were surprised with how busy it was. Our party got the waffle, works omelet and one of their hash meals. Everything was so good! We were pretty impressed and plan to add this into our rotation. Their lunch menu looked good too and I would like to give that a try as well. read more

Love First Watch! I have been to Exton, Villanova, and Newtown Square locations! All have been great!!
