    Lemon  pancakes
    Ngoc H.

    I went here after a short hike nearby. I knew they were closing soon, but was hoping that they could get us in. We were able to sit down, but I felt the meal was rushed. The potatoes came out cold and the staff you could tell that they were annoyed because it was almost closing time and they wanted to go home which I get. I still think, what I paid I should've gotten a quality meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was chill as always.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Fall Harvest Hash
    Lori L.

    Haven't been in a very long time, and had a BOGO coupon, so decided to go again on our way out of the valley. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was nice and quiet, very good service, delicious food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the Fall Harvest Hash and my husband had the biscuits and gravy plate. Enough of mine for me to take home half of it for the next day. Wish they would get a location in the Prescott area, but glad to go anytime we are down the hill.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]We courageously decided to take our 1 & 2 year old out to breakfast this morning at First Watch and it was wildly successful in every way![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My grandparents used to take my brother and I to first watch when we were kids and I have fond memories of hot chocolate and pancakes so it was a treat to take my own babies to do the same. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When we got to the restaurant we were immediately greeted and asked to sit out on the patio that is lovely decorated and very spacious so we had plenty of room for our kiddos to spread out and eat without grabbing at each other or our food!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Once seated our waiter Anthony took our order and also brought the kids coloring pages and crayons to entertain them. He was very friendly and attentive throughout our meal. The menu boasts breakfast and lunch options for every tastebud and diet. As it is the new year and health is a top priority we went with chocolate chip pancakes, lemon ricotta pancakes, eggs and bacon of course...ok so we will get the egg white omelet next time. Anyway, we enjoyed some apple and orange juice along with coffee while we waited for our food and the patio was a pleasant place to do so. Our kids did beautifully being patient and coloring away and then our delicious and beautiful food arrived. It was the kids first time having chocolate chip pancakes and they loved every bite (so did I)! The eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly and it was all super yummy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The whole experience was lovely and filled our tummies for a day of fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The inside of First Watch is very spacious and filled with booths to seat large parties as well as breakfast for two. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Many breakfast spots have sticky tables due to the syrup intake but everywhere was clean and stick free.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The cost of breakfast here is fairly pricey, but the food is good and it seems as though prices are up everywhere, so you'd be hard pressed to find a meal for less. We are trying to get out for breakfast more as a family and we thoroughly enjoyed First Watch today; we will be back soon and often!

    Very attentive happy server. Restaurant is clean and open. They have indoor and outdoor seating. From the outside might look small but it is spacious. They have great healthy selections. I had the traditional breakfast and watermelon juice from their seasonal menu. Food tasted great. Overall good experience. If you do come on a weekend there is more of a wait.

    Bacon club sandwich with potatoes

    Love their iced coffee! Also I have recent been liking their farmers hash skillet so good.

    Trifecta breakfast.

    First time here . Breakfast was amazing! Waitress was great . [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is bright and buzzing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Pesto Chicken Power Bowl
    Norm W.

    Enjoyed a business lunch at First Watch at this location. Enjoyed the Chicken Pesto Power Bowl. It was fresh filling and very tasty. The menu has many healthy choices. Service was great and will definitely be back when in the area.

    Strawberry tres leches French toast
    Matt Z.

    Great breakfast specials. The strawberry tres leches French toast was exceptionally good, with a side of million dollar bacon which is a breakfast staple. Bailey was our waitress and kindly topped off our coffee to go. Great service.

    Monica R.

    As a tourist, and I don't go many times in chains. , but my friend loves this place. And, they deserve to be busy all the time. Really good quality food, creative plates and drinks. I have never eaten a omelette with cod fish and salmon. It was wonderful. The ambiance is modern, cozy and you can have conversation naturally. If you stop in Phoenix, look which location is close to you for brunch.

    NOTE: they may be open, but we were told that they do not serve food for the first 30 mins…read more We came when they opened and were told we would have to wait a half hour to eat anything besides pastry. Annoying, honestly. But we walked around Home Depot next door to kill the time. We sat outside and were disappointed most of the chairs had not been cleaned (almost all of them had some bird poop on them), but we managed to find two chairs that were clean. The chairs themselves are not comfortable, though, and I would be remiss if I didn't warn my thick thigh/bigger hipped girlies to let you know they have wire bucket chairs that can be very uncomfortable to sit in. All that said, the food was good! The service was also good. We enjoyed our coffees which were very good, shared an apple pastry warmed up that was very flavorful and fresh, and shared a high protein egg white plate all very tasty. Would we come back? Maybe. Also: how are you called the black and white cafe and don't have a black and white cookie?! Seems like a huge missed opportunity there! Overall, the dining experience outside was less than desirable with the dirty tables and chairs. Also them not serving food when they opened seems like a mismanagement issue. But the food was good (so perhaps we would recommend sitting inside rather than outside).

    First time there. Only thing I did not like was a slight smell from cigar store next to it…read more It was the BEST BLT sandwich I have ever had. Bacon was crispy and everything was fresh and toasted just right Service very friendly. I will definitely be going back.

We got Chilaquiles, a Craft Plate, Avocado Toast, lattes, AND a Bloody Mary from the bloody Mary bar. What?!!! A bloody mary bar! What a concept!

The patio is shaded and they have very powerful misters, which made the Arizona heat much more comfortable. I did notice that a few of the tables toward the edge of the patio were wet from the misting system, though. The restaurant was extremely busy, so the service was on the slower side. The staff was friendly and working hard, but it definitely felt like they could use a few more people during peak brunch hours. The menu is fantastic. There are so many great options that I honestly had a hard time deciding what to order. I chose the red chicken chilaquiles. The tortilla chips had a great texture, but by the time they reached the table they had absorbed almost all of the sauce. I'm not sure if that's just their style of chilaquiles or if my plate had been sitting in the kitchen for a bit. The red sauce itself was good, but it tasted more tomato-forward than the traditional red chile flavor I usually expect from chilaquiles. The matcha was to sweet and creamy: not of my liking. It didn't taste like matcha. The matcha pancakes were good. The atmosphere is definitely part of the experience. They had a DJ playing music, giving the restaurant more of a fun nightclub vibe than a typical breakfast spot. It was unexpected, but I actually enjoyed it. They also have an impressive Bloody Mary bar with lots of toppings and garnishes. The only thing that gave me pause was that the topping containers are open and located right by the entrance, which made me wonder how much dust or debris they might be exposed to throughout the day. One thing to be aware of is that there was an additional service charge added to the bill, which may be related to paying with a credit card. The manager was very nice and attentive. The server was ok and the hostess could be more friendly. Parking lot is limited Overall, Hash Kitchen is a fun brunch spot with a lively atmosphere, a menu full of tempting choices, and food I'd happily come back to try again. I just wish the service moved a little faster during the busy brunch hours and that a couple of the small details were improved.
