Had a great breakfast with friends! Good food, good service! It was fresh and it was so great to get all that flavor without grease and fat. I love grease and fat but like everyone am trying to get it out of my diet. I had Florentine eggs Benedict- spinach, tomato, and avocado with a poached egg and hollandaise- yummy. It's a good time of year to take a chance on a fruit cup and I was happy to have gotten all ripe fruits. The employees are quite nice and service could not have been better. Hope you'll try it. read more

I wish we had more places like this in Seattle! It's a great little breakfast/lunch/coffee place. Everything seemed pretty healthy & fresh, which is always good. I came here while in Ohio visiting family, and because we were on vacation we were able to come on a weekday mid-morning, which I think helped in terms of getting a seat rather quickly. I ate the Greek fetish omelet, minus peppers and onions (so, spinach and feta and black olives), made with egg whites. Everything tasted great including the side of potatoes and an English muffin. They had a few seasonal specials that sounded great as well as some juices, but I was happy with my choice. The part that I was most impressed by was one of the servers. She recognized my grandma (whether from coming here or because the server used to work somewhere else my grandma frequented, I wasn't sure) and took the time to come over and say hi and compliment her on always looking good (or something like that). Then I heard her having a conversation with the table behind us as well and it seemed like she was being very friendly and personable with them, too. read more

Use the app to reserve a table and you will never have to wait. Great breakfast!

Clean menu with sensible choices. Splurge on one of their amazing seasonal juices. Kids menu available. Always great service.

Excellent service & food. They were able to get my group of 19 seated in a timely manner on a Sunday morning. I had the smoked salmon eggs Benedict, which was fantastic. Highly recommend this establishment! read more

Been here before. It was better before the new changes took affect. They have a call ahead which a customer said they get seated before anyone else. Even the ones waiting for 1/2 hr. Then they now have a community seating area where you walk in the door and sit down to be waited on. Never heard of this before. No one told us. Lastly the the girl that took our name wasn't pleasant at all. Over all not a pleasant visit. There are plenty of other restaurants close. Maybe next time I'll go somewhere else? read more

We loved this place and were surprised it wasn't rated higher. They have an extensive menu with a range of healthy options and we enjoyed our meals. Will certainly be back again. read more

I have eaten at several of these restaurants and it is always excellent. It's on the healthier option side but done let that deter you. The pancakes and avocado toast is yum!!! read more

Just got take-out from here. Ordered the tri-fecta and they forgot the maple syrup. Come on, how do you eat waffles without maple syrup.

First Watch is a great spot for friends, family and colleagues to meet for breakfast or lunch. The atmosphere and the food choices are equally inviting! For someone with dietary restrictions, First Watch offers multiple menu selections that don't skimp on flavor. And, if an order needs to be personalized, the restaurant always accommodates. I love the new decor at the Summit Mall location! read more

Very rude. I made a reservation for ten two days before the date. They said they could accommodate yet when we arrived they had no tables ready and as tables big enough to accommodate us they gave them to others leaving me and my family to stand in the middle of the restaurant as other people pushed past us. As a well respected African American woman with multiple degrees one being in business I do not tolerate poor service. read more

This is a "Meh" for First Watch in general. Nothing personal against this location. After couple of my friends raved about it, I gave brunch here a shot one Sunday morning and I couldn't figure out what everyone else saw in the place. In interest of full disclaimer, I'm not the biggest fan of breakfast but even then I can usually find a sandwich or something of the sort that just hits the spot. The food here was mediocre, making me wonder why I didn't just cook at home or go somewhere else for something cheaper. As for this specific location - it is right by PF changs in Summit mall area, good surrounding, plenty of sunlight if you're by the window, if you're more deeper in the restaurant you pretty much feel like you're in a glorified diner. read more

Love this spot for breakfast! Traditional fare and More unique and trendy fare as well. Coffee has a good flavor. Staff always seem friendly and are usually attentive. There are times when really busy, I see people done with their meals, bill paid but they remain to talk with their group- not a fault of the restaurant but it makes the wait longer for others that are waiting. read more

Yummm!! Every time I get to choose where to eat breakfast, I pick First Watch. I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes to be seated, and the servers are attentive & friendly. I always enjoy my food, whether it's the pancakes, omelettes or salads; everything is super fresh & delicious! read more

We visited for our first time and loved it. It was nice to grab a free coffee while we waited for a table. The menu offered fresh and healthy options that tasted good too. We had omelettes and will definitely go back to try other menu items. Everything came out right and we had great service. Can't wait to go back. read more

Definitely one of my favorite breakfast places to go to in the area. I have never eaten something that I didn't like here. My one recommendation is that if you're going on a weekend, to perhaps call ahead because it can get quite busy! read more

The wait was very long (2hrs)for a party of six on Mother's Day which was understandable for the holiday. I will however be honest that I was turned of by the wait staff as they were not outright rude, but also not welcoming or pleasant. The best way I can describe this is assuming that they were not happy to be working on Mother's Day or were overwhelmed by the crowd. Either way, it set the tone for the meal. Our order came out mostly together with exception to some but again was understandable for the occasion. I had the smoked salmon tzatzeki toast which was horrible. It comes with two basted eggs a super (over) thick piece of multi grain toast with tzatzeki sauce (tasted like mayo) a layer of cucumbers and about a quarter inch of layered smoked salmon. The salmon was kinda slimy, but the dish is entirely hard to eat as when you cut it it becomes a mess. The eggs don't go well with the fish and it needs reworked. The other food ordered was good and cooked to order. Overall, I was not super impressed with the menu (no specials) and was disappointed to receive mediocre service on a special brunch outing. One plus was they gave Mother's a little package of chocolate. read more

First Watch - Smoked Salmon Tzatzeki Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Akron, Ohio

Apologize for such a long review...My daughter was trying to get me to eat brunch here for months, so recently, we finally did. A lil pricey for what I'm used to paying for breakfast, but the food was very delicious. We had the Morning Market veg omelette n shared it bcuz costly, but our meal was delicious n worth every penny. The host seated us in a booth within a few minutes of arriving which we appreciated. Service was outstanding, fast n efficient, coffee was warm n very good n overall, our meal was beyond good n delicious bcuz fresh veggies n worth it, so we'll be back. Probably the only downside was the waiting area in front was a lil crowded n no seating up front @Summit mall location, so next time we'll probably try the Cuyahoga Falls location bcuz my daughter says they have seating provided in front while waiting to be seated. The best thing I did was to "GET IN LINE" on their website about an hour BEFORE arriving bcuz they do NOT accept reservations. We'd like to go there again soon to try other dishes. read more

Excellent service Creative menu Healthy choices read more

This place is delicious. The service was delightful, our waitress was attentive and all smiles, the food was simple but delicious and filling. There were many options and everything was fresh, even the Orange juice that they make onsite! I highly recommend stopping in for lunch or breakfast. The price was on point and there were many healthy and tasty options. Great for any day. Ask for Hannah, she was delightful :) read more

First Watch - Delicious pesto chicken style sandwich. The greens are fresh and super flavorful! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Akron, Ohio

Unique spot here...has the feel of a cafe that would be inside of a mega church. Avocado, bacon and tomato hash ($10) was absolutely on point. Served piping hot and exploding with flavor. Described as (Two eggs* any style atop a hash of fresh, seasoned potatoes, avocado, bacon and tomatoes with melted Cheddar and Monterey Jack) and it did not disappoint. The key west crepeggs ($10) were described as: A thin crepe layered with eggs, turkey, avocado, bacon, tomatoes and Monterey Jack. Topped with sour cream and served with an English muffin, a side of housemade salsa and fresh, seasoned potatoes. Normally that doesn't sound like something I'd go for...however...when the dish came out it looked delicious...(the wife concurred) This place has a distinct subtle style that finds it way into every facet of the dining experience...even down to the ikea-esque Classic milk delivery type bottles the water is served in. read more

Very good food. Most things in there are organic and/or GMO free. Healthy place to eat. It can be a bit pricey however you are getting what you paid for. Very relaxing morning atmosphere. read more

I love all of my choices, I can rely on being able to find a healthy delicious meal every time!

One of my favorite brunch places!!! Love the healthy options and the freshness of the food. Never disappointed when I go to first watch!!

I went to First Watch recently for breakfast. I had been there once before and liked it. This time it was more crowded, but I got a seat right away. I ordered eggs with salmon and fruit and coffee. I really enjoyed all of it. I also got the grain toast which I loved. You can change up your meal ingredients however you want which I appreciated. I plan to return again soon. Oh did I mention I got a parking spot right in front of the restaurant which I appreciated so much. read more

Worst breakfast ever. We went in at 2:25 realizing they were closing at 2:30. We made sure it was still ok to come in. Manager said SURE. Waitress looked perturbed the entire time. Food lukewarm, coffee horrible, what happened to service with a smile. Oh and BTW waitress was sweeping entire time. Would NEVER go back. Stick to Michael's AM in the valley. read more

Ate here a handful of times, always refreshing and consistent with expectations. They have a variety of items that can suit any diet. And, when you're all done eating you won't feel "stuffed" like other breakfast joints. read more

The food was served fresh and fast. But mostly this 5 star review is for there seating system that texts you and tracks through yelp. It made the 20-30 minute wait easy to manage by running an errand while we waited for our spot in line. Kudos read more

This is my favorite breakfast spot! Great environment, great service and even better food! Many options for breakfast, just wish they had more vegan options. read more

Excellent for breakfast or lunch! It's fun to eat interesting and healthy dishes that are not traditional. You will not go away hungry. Service is always good, too. read more

Could not ask for a better menu of great choices. Everything about this place is quality, especially the server Corrie who was remarkable, even while she was training a new person. The food was quick, tasty, and filling. The plate appeared delicious and even the coffee was great! read more

First Watch - Great food, service, and really fast too. Clean, friendly, and convenient. Corrie was great! , - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Akron, Ohio

I wanted everything on the menu but settled for the lemon ricotta pancakes. What a treat! Service was fantastic the coffee was good I would totally come here time after time! read more

Was the food great? Yes. Was the service up to par? Certainly. However, I have waited less time at the BMV on the last day of the month. They aren't serving edible gold nuggets people.....is a 2 hour wait really worth breakfast food? I am definitely not convinced. My mortgage payment just increased for the HELOC I had to take out for the bowl of oatmeal and omelet I purchased ($18 for both). If you are gonna charge that much, I better get a foot massage....or at least a fortune cookie. Overall, it was yummy food and good service. But the wait and the cost make it undesirable. No bueno from here on out! read more

We love to take our family here for a special breakfast out. The food is fresh and what we would want to cook for ourselves. Our kids love the crepes, french toast, pancakes, etc. just for them. Great place for people who are picky or want the old standbys, as well as those who have a more adventurous breakfast spirit. Every menu item we try has been good, every time. read more

Two words: Avocado Toast. It's great here - on thick, fresh, multigrain bread, with plenty of fresh smashed avocado, and a side of lemon. Two fried eggs made it all the better. Bringing a pot of coffee to the table is a nice touch, and the staff is very nice. I look forward to returning! read more

Meals made from fresh, locally grown ingredients. Can't go wrong with the BLT Eggs Benedict on toasted ciabatta with a fruit cup on the side. Yummo! read more

I was only here once, but I was impressed! I had the BLT eggs Benedict. It's like eating something homemade and not processed. The proportion was perfect. I can't wait to go again and see what other great things they have. I'm guessing by the huge crowd it's a great place. read more

Very good breakfast food. I was really impressed with this place and I look forward to going back soon.

So, it's been over a year since my last review. First Watch is still an establishment with very good food and very good service however, the reduced portion sizes are still a regular occurrence. It is difficult to comprehend why the cheapest item to make (the rustic potatoes) are the item that seem to be served in the smallest portion. I have left still hungry and mildly perturbed a couple times in the past two months. I am a medium husky kind of guy and I used to rave about the food and how filling it was but, I no longer have such joy. I have only continued to patronize here due to influence from friends and family that enjoy the healthier option of food. The service is still very good but, a friendly reminder "don't try to fix what wasn't broken" . Quality and service are what brings people back, quantity helps as well! read more

let's get this straight: 2 stars for the food, but if i could, i'd give our waitress Corrie zero stars. i tried a bacon cheddar pancake, with two eggs and a sausage link. the eggs and sausage were a bit cold when they reached the table. also, i could taste that the eggs were cooked in margarine, or some sort of other cooking spray. the pancake was amazing, believe it or not. the waitress, however, was terrible. she clearly didn't want to wait on our table. and believe me, we're not a couple of hellraisers or anything. as i've noted in my other reviews: keep my drink filled, bring my food, ask if we need anything else, and boom--we're happy. as soon as we were seated, Corrie asked "so are you ready to order?" mind you, we hadn't even opened the menus yet. as soon as our food came to the table, she presented us with our check. she never came back to ask if we needed anything, and our drinks went unfilled. i wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again, but if the mood strikes and i want brunch, i wouldn't rule this place out, either. read more
