    The food came out quickly and as ordered. It was a good breakfast. First Watch is pretty consistent no matter which location you visit.

    Tri-Fecta, Chili Chorizo, Fresh Seasoned Potatoes

    We went to the South College location for breakfast. We arrived around 9:30am on a Saturday morning and were seated right away. This place is so cozy, clean, and has a great vibe! The service was great; our waitress was attentive, friendly, and helpful. The food was delicious! We ordered the Tri-fecta with a blueberry pancake, the chile chorizo omelette, and a side of seasoned potatoes. Great experience! We will definitely return and recommend

    Today we went in here with our toddler and our baby for breakfast, which was absolutely delicious. But while we were there our baby had a blow out. His little onesie was a hot mess so I just threw it away. (There was a dedicated garbage can so I felt okay doing that). On my way out a waitress saw him and said she had an 11 month old and she felt my pain. I laughed and told her his onesie was now in the trash. She laughed too, but a few minutes later she stopped by our table and GAVE US A NEW ONESIE! I was shocked! It was such a kind gesture! Best service I think I've ever had.

    Crispy Breakfast Rice

    The crispy rice breakfast square turned out to be one of those dishes that looks simple on the menu but makes a strong impression once it hits the table. The rice is seared until it forms a thin, golden crust--crunchy on the outside, soft inside, and sturdy enough to hold everything without falling apart. It's a clever base, and honestly the thing that lingered with me the most. The avocado is sliced into a neat fan and gives a cool, clean contrast to the warmth of the rice. The drizzle of Kewpie adds just enough richness without turning the whole thing heavy. The soft-scrambled eggs are done right--creamy, not runny, and not the usual overcooked rubber you get at too many breakfast spots. A spoonful of chili crisp on top brings a little heat and a little crunch, tying everything together. The whole dish feels thoughtful but not pretentious. It's comforting, a little playful, and something I'd come back for, especially if I wanted a breakfast that feels lighter but still satisfying. It's the kind of item that could easily become a signature without shouting for attention.

    Outside is a bit hidden and a bit of construction going on next door, but nice and clean once you get inside. Ample parking available. Waitress also seated us and was amazing! Happy, smiling, friendly and really took care of us. Had the Works omelette and the biscuits and gravy. Both were outstanding, well seasoned and filled us up, which is no small feat! Highly recommend for breakfast and a reasonable price.

    This was my first time in since first watch bought out egg and I. Egg and I used to be my husband and my breakfast spot for Sunday morning any time he was in town that is what we did. we were both incredibly sad when it was no longer egg and I. their menu changed a lot. My husband went one time after the change over and he didn't enjoy it so we never went together. This morning i was trying to go to breakfast at urban egg with my son. He finally had a couple of hours off. We were really sad that urban egg was not open but was happy this place was open. I called to see if we could make a reservation. They said it was slow at that point but i could make a reservation by going to their website and making one that way. I didn't want to do that. If I could have made one on yelp i would have. But its okay. we got there and we were seated right away. The service was friendly. out waitress was very peppy and happy. They have a few gluten free options, but if you are vegan its a little tougher. i ordered a "kale cooler" juice. you can either get with ice or no ice, not light ice like i used to order. Then i put together a breakfast for myself. I ordered the vegetables that they have sauteed - mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach, and a few other things that i can't remember. Had them mixed with their potoatoes. It is similar to what I used to order all the time at egg and I. But back in those days the staff knew us and they knew what i wanted. The food was good however and came up in a decent amount of time. You can't send your payment with the waitress. You have to go and stand in line to pay at the front desk. The line to pay was a little long today and took awhile to get through. not sure if somone was having a problem on payment? training? or if it just usually takes awhile to check out.

    A great place for breakfast. I'm sure lunch is good as well. Clean dining room. Great service ever FW I've been to and we have been to at least 5 different locations. All have been top notch I love the million $ bacon. I Love the lemon ricotta pancakes, I love the juices. Well I love everything and the COFFEE is good. Has taste and flavor. I hate restaurants coffee that is colored water/ no flavor but that's one thing I know about FW. Good coffee. Good coffee is important to me.

    Chorizo Chile omelette
    Tracy F.

    Needed some grub so my niece brought us here. I was debating on lunch or breakfast but the chorizo green Chile omelette caught my attention. It was good but basically all green Chile and onions. No cheese. Not sure I saw any chorizo in it. Lots of avocado inside. The toast was delicious but the side of greens was just that. Just greens, no dressing. My son got the barbacoa Benedict quesadilla and it was fabulous. I think a crispy tortilla taco shell would have been better than a quesadilla but it was still yummy. The sauce had amazing flavor. My niece enjoyed her bowl and enjoyed every last bite.

The bar almost resembles something you might find in a small European hotel, which may suggest they are aiming for a slightly upscale tone, though it never feels pretentious. The seating is varied, with small tables and retro chairs that seem intentionally chosen rather than bought in bulk. The spacing is better than most coffee shops, which makes it easy to settle in without feeling crowded. The back area opens up even more, and the soft drapery adds a touch of personality that appears to hint at events or just a bit of flair. The staff continues to be the standout for me. Everyone I spoke with was kind in a way that felt natural, and they knew the menu well enough to help me navigate dairy free options. I usually order the avocado toast on focaccia because it is consistently fresh. The bread looks oversized at first but is airy and soft, and the avocado and radish topping feels simple in the best way. The matcha made with water has also become a go to since it tastes smooth and well-bodied without that chalky, thin finish some places have. My partner and I visited during their Dia de Los Muertos weekend and tried a few themed items. Everything was good, and they were quick to suggest dairy free choices. Prices seem fair, even with the general bump everywhere lately. The only thing I wish they had more of is outlets. It is still a nice place to work for a couple of hours, but coming with a charged laptop helps. The overall vibe is calm with just enough energy to keep the space from feeling sleepy. It works well for coffee dates, casual catch ups, or solo work, especially for anyone who prefers a relaxed atmosphere without too much chaos.

    I had been meaning to try Fox Den for a few years now. It gets good reviews and I've heard good…read morethings about them. Just a couple days ago a friend mentioned Fox Den was one of her favorite coffee places. I guess it was just a little out of the way for me. I didn't make my own coffee this morning on purpose. We were going out to get coffee and a bag of whole beans from one of my favorite FC coffee shops. I suddenly realized I could use this opportunity to finally stop by Fox Den. The SO asks if I want to go there instead. I say yes, but with a little hesitation. I mean how good can this place really be? Will it live up to expectations? Does the "No Waste" theme come at the cost of compromising coffee quality? Upon entering the cafe, I see a wall of mugs to choose from. I pick the Mickey Mouse one. I place my standard new coffee shop order-a cortado and drip coffee. The barista taking my order says that's his favorite mug. The drip coffee comes first. I chose the light roast. It has mild acid, barely perceptible bitterness, and nice smoothe coffee flavor. I really can't ask for a more balanced cup of coffee. One of the best drip coffees I've had in a cafe. My cortado is up. The barista apologizes for his subpar latte art. It's not that bad. Consistently good latte art is not as easy as some baristas make it look, and baristas are allowed to be human. Besides, this is not the Louvre and art is not what I'm here for, no apology necessary. This cortado is excellent. The high quality pulled shots of expresso shine through the nicely steamed whole milk. I have to know which blends they used in my drinks. El Zorro for the cortado and Foxy Gal for the drip. I compliment the other barista on the shop's coffee. She humbly tells me, "the shots are pulling well today". Typically, when I get my usual cortado and drip coffee, one is better than the other, even if slightly so. Not today. Today both are of equally high caliber. It is a good coffee day.
