    Pesto Chicken Quinoa Bowl!
    Rhonda R.

    First time at First Watch. New location for brunch after church was told there was a 45 minute wait unless we sat at the community table. We took the community table, sat with eight other guests at a tall table,and tall chairs, but we were served immediately, and the food wasn't far behind. Service was amazing. Food was fresh and delicious and hot. Coffee was hot. Water was ice cold.. Can't wait to go back next week.

    Food has always and will always be great I recommend the Floridian French toast as it is the best there wait time is very little and I love there blazing dragon drinks

    Morning meditation (fresh juice blend)

    First time here decided to swing in after work and give it a tray. Is laid back and welcoming. Staff is friendly and the dining area is spacious as well as they have a few tables outside on the patio you can eat at if you like to eat outside. The food was fresh and simple with good flavors. I will be back again to try the lemon ricotta pancakes.

    The only positive thing about this place was the waitress. She was very friendly. That's why 2 star and not one. This was an very bad first experience. I won't go back. The tangerine dream drink was really good. I never tasted the food. I asked for my skillet to have scrambled eggs (since you know they are always cooked right) and no cheese. I got it with sunny side up eggs and cheese. The food was slow to come out also. I asked for the manager to come out and speak to me. His response I was told was that he was busy and would come out if there was time. Very poor attitude. They remade it, however the scrambled eggs were watery in many spots. I tried to remove those spots than decided that was too much work for the money I was spending. The manager never came out. Clearly he didn't care. I left without eating and the waitress said they would take care of the check. I did offered to pay for the drink. She said no need. I went to McDonald's instead.

    Recently visited First Watch for the first time in a few years. I ordered avocado toast with two eggs and a vanilla iced coffee. It wasn't my favorite but it wasn't too bad. They weren't very busy so I couldn't understand why our server wasn't very attentive to us. She was very nice and pleasant when she was around maybe she was new. I would be willing to give it another try. I know we are in a pandemic and these restaurants are under a lot of stress and have to work under different t conditions so I try to give them the benefit of the doubt so that's why I am giving them a four.

    Healthy Turkey omelette with gluten free toast
    Lisa C.

    Excellent place for brunch! Ate Bacado omelet today and it was delicious. Good ratio of eggs to filling. Potatoes were good but a little spicy which I wasn't expecting. Everything was freshly prepared and hot. Staff was wonderful! I recommend this omelet but next time will get fruit or salad greens instead of potatoes. Also delicious was the fruit spread that came with the gluten free bread. It's nice to eat at a really good breakfast and brunch restaurant where gluten free bread is offered.

    Baja chicken burrito bowl
    Bob S.

    The kind of place where you chug a whole carafe of Columbian coffee by yourself and walk away satisfied. Almost stereotypical in terms of being a trendy breakfast place, but everything was great. We'll go back. Must-Try: - Blue Booster juice - Orange Juice - Coffee - Pancakes (kid's choc chip pancakes great) Not missing out: N/A Menu somewhat predictable but everything sounded good and we struggled picking. Prices slightly higher, but relative to similar places, very reasonable. Baja chicken burrito bowl with juicy chicken, hearty grains and bright kale slaw. Seasoned beans and lime crema perhaps lackluster. Farmhouse hash well made. Most pieces had good color, some pieces were too charred.

We grabbed menus near the entrance so we could pick what we wanted while waiting in line. When we ordered, there was a place to drop off the menus. On this inaugural visit, I requested the shrimp and grits, fresh orange juice, and beignets. We found a table for four and seated ourselves. The place was nearly full with one room cordoned off for only the busiest of times. While we waited, I visited the jam bar to get some butter. Soon, our food was delivered. The fresh squeezed orange juice was very tasty. I definitely enjoyed that. The portion sizes were good. I was afraid they might be small, given the price. The biscuits were large and good, but they are different than southern style biscuits. They can easily be cut with a fork, but also remain stable enough to eat with your fork after cutting. My shrimp was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. I think they put six medium-large shrimp in the dish. The grits were also not the typical southern style. They were creamy, but still very good. The dish was tasty and very satisfying. The beignets were delicious! They were served with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. Excellent! Our server was friendly and quick. Very good quality. Very good service. The only drawback here is the price. As we exited, the line was out the door.

We started with two seasonal cocktails, and both were absolutely delicious. For an appetizer, we tried the Bloody Mary Fried Green Tomatoes, which were delightful, flavorful, and such a fun twist on a classic drink in flavor.

On top of the great food, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back!

On Mondays, they have a limited menu, and we ordered the stuffed banana peppers which were delightful (not pictured, they went too quickly!) and I also ordered the superfood salad with steak (medium rare of course). I really enjoyed the salad. It had so many yummy textures and I opted out to remove the strawberries and instead of the Asian dressing, I ended up choosing Italian, which was based on my own personal preference and I'm so happy I did. The super food salad had so many wonderful ingredients, including pistachios, different berries, and edamame. The steak itself was cooked perfectly, and the entire salad was very refreshing. I didn't order at this time, but they have wonderful pierogies and also some of the best calamari in town.

    This place was just what I was looking for in the Akron area…read more Fresh Neapolitan pizza & fresh pastries attached to a coffee/tea shop and even a gelato shop! This is definitely a place to hang out while waiting for medical appointments, enjoy a sweet treat during a warm summer day, or meet friends for a light lunch and coffee. The food was great, the chai tea was a nice mix of spicy and sweet. My pastry was wonderfully balanced on the palate while still retaining a strong chocolate flavor. I saw some people criticizing the service as confusing, I guess that's understandable but I don't agree. When you order your drink, it comes out quickly so they most likely expect you to just wait a minute before grabbing it and your table number before going to sit down. The ladies behind the counter were nice and efficient and clear with directions regarding water and where to get the drinks and food. Like I said, I didn't have any problems with service or its directions. Not to mention they have 3 different kinds of spots to hangout and eat suiting your mood: a patio, a darker "dining room" (pictured below) and a bright gelato spot. Highly recommend! I will absolutely make this my Akron hangout spot.

    It could have been better…read more I had been to Café Arnone a few years ago when we first moved to Akron and remembered it fondly, so I suggested it when meeting a friend for coffee last week. When I arrived around 1:00 pm, the café was quiet. There was no one at the counter, so I walked around to find someone and ask where to sit since the space has more of a café feel on one end and a wine-bar feel on the other. I was told to order at the counter and sit anywhere. I sat in the front area to wait for my friend. Once she arrived, we went up to order. I asked about a menu and was pointed to a sign on the counter. Since it was my first visit in a while, I asked the employee what she recommended, and she flipped the sign to a breakfast sandwich called The Sal. I ordered that. I then had to ask about beverages, as none were mentioned. I only wanted water and was directed to a carafe on the counter to serve myself. Our food came out within a few minutes. The presentation was a little disappointing. I chose the vegetable side, which turned out to be two carrot sticks and two celery sticks lying in a small puddle of water. The sandwich looked good, but when I took my first bite, it was overwhelmingly salty. I understand bacon is salty, but this tasted like an excessive amount of salt had been added. After a second bite, I brought it back to the register and asked if it could be replaced, which they did. My disappointment wasn't so much in the mistake, but in the lack of acknowledgment--there was no apology and no follow-up to ask if the replacement was better. The restaurant wasn't busy, and while I'm sure they have many regulars, the lack of greeting when I walked in and the lack of follow-up stood out to me. I did appreciate the wall of ancestors--it was a nice touch--but overall the service felt disengaged. Maybe it was an off day, or perhaps inexperience from a young staff. I may try again in the future, but this visit fell short of expectations.
