    Chikichanga with breakfast potatoes cooked to perfection.
    Vanessa B.

    We tried something's on the seasonal menu and it was delicious. The Chipotle Steak Hash and the Banana Brittle French toast. Not overly done or too sweet. Nicely done kitchen staff. Also a shout out to Jayliegh for making the chalkboard menu! Nice work! Great hand writing skills. Sending

    All the things!

    I've been to a number of First Watch locations, but I heard this one was one has significant flare and energy so we checked it out. We were greeted quickly with smiles and taken to our table. The staff are super friendly! The store was clean and inviting. I ordered the Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast which was amazing! The gingerbread cookie crumbles was the perfect touch. Also grabbed some grits which I loved...nice and buttery, my fav. We ordered the Million Dollar bacon and of course the Holey Donuts with Nutella. Everything was delicious and we walked away full and satisfied. On a scale of 1 to 10, First Watch is a great breakfast spot that I'll continue to frequent...I kinda like it.

    Lemon blueberry cornbread & watermelon wake up DELICIOUS
    Jessie P.

    This place never disappoints. Their seasonal juices are always on point. The Watermelon Wake Up might be the best juice I've had here. Super refreshing and highly addictive. I went with the traditional French toast with mixed berry compote. It was perfectly done. I added a side of crispy bacon. I really appreciate that they bring out warm syrup in a glass container. Small details like that truly make a difference. We shared the blueberry lemon cornbread and it was incredible. Rich, flavorful, and easily passes as dessert. A perfect shareable. My girlfriend's son had the Tres Leches French Toast and said it was absolutely delicious. Their menu is strong all around. I've tried several dishes and nothing ever disappoints. Service is quick and polite. I also love that you can pay through the QR code at the table or go up front when you're ready to leave. It keeps things easy and efficient. I always feel good bringing clients here. Great food, solid service, and an overall fantastic spot.

    Breakfast Fresh Seasonal Potatoes
    Grace C.

    I love first watch and their breakfast menu. I got their seasonal breakfast sandwich and it was delicious. It was a bit messy and because it was so messy the bun became a little soggy. Despite that the flavor was still delicious. The bacon was cooked perfectly. Service was great and I enjoyed the ambiance of this location. I would recommend getting there early if you don't want to have a wait. I arrived at 8:30 and when I left around 10 there was a line out the door.

    Roast Beef and Havarti Sandwich with lemon dressed salad and side of potatoes with Bacon and Cheese sauce
    Mikey S.

    Don't sleep on the roast beef and havarti sandwich!!! The Parmesan crusted sourdough is fantastic and adding the cheese sauce and bacon to the potatoes is the only way to do it. My biggest critique of FW has been and always will be that the potatoes are not crispy, like at all. But get them this way and problem solved.

    Side Fresh Seasonal Potatoes
    Ashley C.

    AMAZING BREAKFAST! i haven't been to first watch in a couple of years and it was just as good as i remembered. i love this breakfast spot because i feel like they offer healthier options than other brunch places. everything is perfectly balanced and delicious! i got the fresh squeezed orange juice - and it's definitely fresh! for food, i ordered the trifecta with scrambled eggs, the chicken sausage (which is very good) and the belgian waffle! the waffle comes with a delicious berry compote too! and i also got a side of potatoes. everything is seriously great and i highly recommend to anyone. we came to this location on a sunday around 10am they were busy, so definitely add yourself to the waitlist before heading over! ambiance was nice and bright space, and has some noise, but nothing crazy. i also believe our server was ian, and he was awesome! we will be back, thank you!

    The Juice Bar
    Nikki A.

    First Watch is one of our favorite breakfast restaurants. The staff is always friendly. It is usually pretty clean at this location. We come super early when it is more chill; if you come later there may be a wait. I usually get the Avocado Toast with over easy eggs. My husband has a sweet tooth, he loves their giant pancakes. We always end up splitting the Million Dollar Bacon (hardwood smoked bacon glazed with brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne and a maple syrup drizzle). I like that they leave a pot of coffee at your table. I often get a fresh juice as well; the Purple Haze (lemon, cane sugar, butterfly pea flower tea and a hint of lavender) is not only tasty, it is also quite lovely to look at. A seasonal menu is offered. Sign up for emails, they will buy you breakfast for your birthday.

For dessert we tried their new dot cake which I didn't care for... it's not their fault though .

A bunch of us from my spin class decided to get together on a Sunday for brunch and here's what I munched: Grande Chicken TInga Nachos ($18 - Shredded chicken tinga, queso, roasted tomato salsa, black beans, pico de gallo, roasted jalapeño, cilantro lime crema): Okay, maybe I don't recommend the nachos. While topped with a good amount of cheese on top, once congealed, any chip on the bottom that you pull out is just going to be a naked chip. They do top these chips off with a generous amount of toppings. Brunch Burger ($19 - Angus beef patty, sunny side egg, avocado, applewood smoked bacon, cheddar, sriracha aioli, hash brown patty, brioche bun, choice of fresh fruit or breakfast potatoes): I shared this burger and requested the kitchen to cut it for me which they did. Very thankful that they were okay with the request. The burger itself was decent. It was a little weird to eat as the tiny hash brown patty made the structural integrity funny but it's not a deal breaker. I will say that it needed more sauce or something.

I could probably put that on just about anything. The vibes are wonderful too. It's cozy, welcoming, and the kind of coffee shop where you want to linger with a friend for a while. My only critique is the layout of the front room. There always seems to be a line, but there's not really a good place for it to go besides in front of the entrance and the water station. It turns into a lot of "excuse me" and people weaving around each other. It's definitely a good problem to have because they're clearly popular, but I hope as they continue to flourish, they're able to expand into a larger space or rethink the flow a bit. Either way, I'll absolutely be back. Just save me another coconut brown sugar latte.
