    Morning Meditation
    Amy M.

    I got take-out. Package needs a little work.I got the Power Wrap + herded goat cheese and lemon-dressed organic mixed green salad. OMG!!! The best brunch for take-out. I ate one for brunch and I am going to to save the other half for tomorrow for brunch. Its enough to share with someone else for sure. I also got Morning Meditation and Kale Tonic. So delicious!!! Very refreshing!! Definitely going on my favorite list!!!

    Hot breakfast thats made always fresh. Service is always suberb. Had a afternoon brunch and restaurant was not too busy. Family friendly place expect some noise if your coming in the morning right when they open, usually the time when their busier. My favorite drink that I must have everytime I go is the kale tonic fresh juice ( kale,fuji apple, english cucumber and lemon) it is so refreshing. I tried there seasonal fall pancake flavor ( pumpkin)with eggs and sausage: it was good too. Prices for pancakes are leaning on the high range.

    My boyfriend and I love to come here for brunch dates food is always amazing. Service is always great. We'll say if you're trying to go on a holiday make sure to book a reservation. They do get busy fast.

    Power Wrap
    Krisdena R.

    Met an out-of-town friend for breakfast on their way home. It was rather quiet for an early Sunday morning. Staff were prompt and friendly. We placed our orders and engaged in casual conversation while waiting for our meals. We were on the side with full sun and had the shades pulled down. The bacon was crisp & tasty. The Power Wrap was more than my friend could eat, so she took the remain half of wrap home. The lemon ricotta pancakes were very filling and I ended up taking 1/2 of my meal home. As a first time ever customer I was really impressed with location, food, and service and will definitely return with my family.

    Cajun Shrimp & Grits
    Kayla P.

    Delicious as always at any First Watch. The wait was long. We had a reservation but it was Sunday so it didn't help much. The ambiance was sunny and boisterous. Service was friendly and the food was cooked perfectly. I had the shrimp and grits. I loved the fire roasted tomatoes in it. They had the most flavor. The Cajun shrimp wasn't very Cajun but it was grilled nicely. The cheese grits were okay. My guy had chocolate chip pancakes. He likes them better than the blueberry which is saying a lot! The new watermelon pineapple lime drink was FANTASTIC.

    Hellooo Yelpers March 2025 So this venture landed me at "First Watch" I had never been before, so very excited to share. Very very clean outside in front of and around the grounds. Plenty of parking. We were welcomed in as I stood beside my daughter waiting to be seat this ride customer pushed past me I smiled and assumed she was really hungry and couldn't wait or say excuse me, no worries We are taken to our table and the waitress came right over, very polite and friendly. I told her it was my first visit, so she made a few suggestions I noticed the openness and clean environment around us, well lite and quick service. I tried the Spiked Lavender Lemonade and the Tri Fecta breakfast. I chose French Toast, scrambled eggs with cheese and bacon The drink was refreshing and the hint of lavender really came through; MUST TRY Those had to be the best eggs I have ever eaten, next visit I will ask for soft bacon; it was good but I just like mine a little softer. I am given 2 thumbs up & looking forward to trying other items on the menu. Great job crew!!

    Breakfast wrap
    Amber J.

    I got a breakfast wrap. I was able to customize by taking turkey off. I am not a big meat eater so I was happy to be able to do that. It was very good! The potatoes were a great side option for breakfast. I usually get one of their custom juices, but did not this morning. However, they are always a delicious treat. Anytime I go here. We went around 9:30 AM and only had to wait for 15 minutes. I recommend coming early if you don't want a long wait time!

    Honey Caramel Crunch Iced Coffee
    Danielle H.

    This is a great spot for brunch! We stopped in today for lunch and really enjoyed everything. They were pretty busy, but you can add your name to the waitlist online so I suggest doing that to save time. We had to try the holey donuts and they did not disappoint! They were hot and fresh with yummy dips for them. I got the chickichanga for my entree and I loved it! It was pretty big and very flavorful. I really liked the sauce on top, it was creamy and tangy. My boyfriend got the biscuits and gravy and I snuck a bite. It was great as well. The gravy had a nice flavor and you could taste the sausage. My drink was the honey caramel iced coffee and it was really tasty but very sweet. It was a great lunch!

    Stopped for breakfast. I had the traditional breakfast, hubby had a hash. My breakfast was good, hash browns were cooked a bit more than I care for. Their bread is very good. Hubby said coffee was really good. Would try again when in area!

    Half 1/2 Sandwich & Salad - Chicken Avocado Chop Salad and Market Veggie Sandwich
    Whitney T.

    Tried to come here before but it was too crowded to get in (over 1 hr wait time ages ago). Decided to try again and the wait time was so much better, if you go early in the morning there would be little to no wait time. As you come later in the day it gets a little more crowded, you can see a slight wait so be mindful of what time and plan ahead. You can request online to get in a waitlist. The service was great, our server was quick and made sure that we were well taken care of. The food is delectable, I can definitely see why it is crowded here in the morning. The portion is well sized, the sandwiches are thick and filling while the dressing on the salad has a light sauce that pairs well with the salad that is delicious but not heavy on your stomach. The cornbread is amazing. Expected the cornbread to be dry since that often occurred with cornbread, but it is instead moist and fluffy, and just slightly sweet. They also serve the coffee in a jug so you can get refills which is nice compared to ordering 1 coffee and not being able to refill. We sat outside that day so it was a tad hot, bit overall it is quaint.

    Market scramble with veggies and cheese
    Christa F.

    Hadn't been here since it first opened. I got the market scramble with potatoes, zucchini, mushrooms shallots, red peppers, spinach, goat cheese and other I don't remember. The grain toast was nice and buttered and comes with grape jelly. My only wish was that the potatoes were cut just a little smaller. Coffee was nice and hot and I love the little country jar that the water comes in. A lady next to me had a very appetizing drink so I had to ask what it was. She said a Bloody Mary and that it was delicious.

Since it was a little chilly, we opted to sit inside. The vibe was lively without being loud, which I appreciated. I have a hard time enjoying restaurants where it is difficult to carry on a conversation. We ordered coffee, and it came with biscotti, which was a nice touch. I was also impressed with the menu. It had some traditional breakfast and brunch items, but also several more interesting options that made it hard to decide. I finally landed on the Deviled Egg Toast, topped with pickle slaw and served with a side salad. I was not disappointed. It was delicious. There were four of us, and everyone enjoyed what they ordered. Our server, Joanna, was pleasant, personable, and attentive.

Now, the food. I had the bagel/lox and while it was tasty, it was too ornate, too complicated, with flavors which drowned the subtle lox flavor entirely. Sometimes less is more. My friend was content with whatever he had without deeming it anything remarkable. Breakfast for two came to $51 (incl tip), doubtless a sign of the times. Maybe people will remember that going out to eat used to be a treat, I suspect that would be a very good thing.

My partner visited Black Magnolia last week after her massage at Green Leaf Wellness center and raved about her cinnamon roll, so I decided to treat myself to one as well and it did not disappoint. I found the Patisserie straight away as I passed it on the way to my massage, but the signage on the curb helps since some businesses in Revolution Mills can be quite difficult to find. The storefront itself is quite small, consisting of a standing room and the glass case of baked goods, but there is seating outside and around the establishment. The staff was attentive, briefing me on all the cinnamon rolls they currently had and letting me know that there were some baking that would be available a bit later. Each roll looked decadent with flavors ranging from lemon blueberry, s'mores, and classic. There were also scones and other baked goods available as well, but I had my heart set on the Classic Cinnamon Roll. I bit into this beauty on my way home and it was the softest and most delicious cinnamon roll I have ever had! Baked with brioche dough and topped with cinnamon cream cheese frosting, the pillowy texture and flavors were so comforting and satisfying. I don't eat sweets often, so this was the perfect treat to end my day with. I am definitely looking forward to trying the lemon blueberry next!

I will suggest that if you are looking for more of the savory items you do have to get there early because it will sell out. The cinnamon bun and scone were absolutely delicious.

It was the best chocolate chip cookie I've ever had. Just to note, this place is in the cut and you have to go down a few stairs but look for their sign posted outside and parking is right across. I'll definitely come back to try more items.

It was our first time at Print Works, though I've been to their sister restaurant Green Valley Grill several times. I love the attention to detail when it came to the ambiance of this restaurant, from the lush plants adorning the outdoor patios to the comfortable but elegant chairs to the long curtain panels providing a little separation between other guests. It's truly a beautiful restaurant. I also love that they serve brunch daily! My husband ordered the shrimp and grits, and we both loved the amount of cheese and overall flavor and consistency of the grits. I went with the grilled salmon which is served with a strawberry-tarragon beurre rouge sauce, crème fraîche mashed potatoes and French green beans. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the lightness of the sauce and the creaminess of the mashed potatoes were highlights. We also split an order of the beignets, which are served with honey and a dark chocolate sauce for dipping. Divine. Our waiter was excellent, checking on us regularly but not rushing us in any way. All in all, a great meal with outstanding service, a gorgeous dining room, and affordable prices. We'll definitely return for a date night or another brunch. This would be the perfect place to gather with a group of friends or colleagues, as everyone is likely to find something on the menu they will enjoy and there are plenty of tables to accommodate larger parties. As for attire, I would consider this restaurant to be upscale but not pretentious, and I saw a wide array of attire from business suits to more casual wear I wasn't sure what to expect, and I wore blue jeans with a nicer blouse and did not feel uncomfortable or out of place, though I think I personally might dress a little sharper if going for dinner.

The interior and overall vibe are really nice, and the food was good -- but nothing especially memorable. What completely ruined the evening, though, was the service and how an accident was handled. A server from another table accidentally dropped an entire chocolate dessert shot glass behind me, and I got covered in chocolate -- my neck, hair, sweater, jeans, and even half of our table. Accidents happen, and I totally understand that. What shocked me was that neither the server who dropped it nor my own server reacted or even apologized. My server saw everything happen but didn't hurry to help or check on me. I sat there for more than 15 minutes with chocolate in my hair and all over my clothes. Eventually, I had to call the manager myself and ask for napkins or something to clean up. To the manager's credit, she responded quickly and was helpful. Ironically, my server only came over after the manager had already handled everything. In the end, I left the restaurant with a dirty sweater, stained jeans, and chocolate still in my hair. Instead of properly following up, they simply handed me a business card and told me to email or call about the incident. Honestly, after what happened, why should I have to chase the restaurant for a resolution? A much better approach would have been for someone to ask for my contact information and proactively reach out. Overall, it was a very strange and disappointing experience, especially for a place that presents itself as upscale. Sadly, I wouldn't come back again.

I'm so glad I did check my bag before I left because they did not give me ranch or plasticware, man I would have missed out on some amazing ranch. The young man gave me three ranches which I'm so disappointed I only grabbed one. Unfortunately I didn't get the best pictures but the food tasted great.
