    Biscuits & Turkey Sausage Gravy With Eggs $15
    E C.

    Friendly service and clean restaurant. But I ordered the salmon eggs Benedict and one of my two eggs was a hard boiled egg! It was an unpleasant bait and switch. The manager was informed but never stopped by despite waiting for over 30 minutes.

    First Watch in Hampton is hands down one of the best breakfast/brunch spots around! The atmosphere is clean and welcoming, and the staff was incredibly friendly from the moment i walked in. You can tell they really care about the customer experience. The food was fresh and flavorful,. Everything tasted high quality and made from scratch, which is hard to find these days. The portions were perfect and the menu has a great variety whether you're looking for something healthy, hearty, or a little indulgent. Service was quick and attentive without feeling rushed. It's the kind of place you want to sit, relax, and actually enjoy your meal. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends and family.

    Visiting our daughter and son-in-law in Hampton and wanted brunch before heading out of town. First Watch is consistently a good choice! Breakfast snd sandwich choices. Great Holiday menu with drinks too! We got the Trifecta and the Ham & Gruyère melt. A mimosa and a coke to boot! All Yummo!! The service was super friendly and it carries a modern crunchy vibe. Festive for the Holidays! We even heard a very loud rendition of Happy Birthday to the General Manager! We thoroughly enjoyed!

    Our server was amazing (Mar - not sure on the spelling)! She answered questions, asked questions for clarity to ensure we got exactly what we ordered. The food was food as always. I had the holiday special - Double Bacon Parmesan hash. I wish I had more cream sauce and the potatoes were not as soft as at other locations. Nonetheless, it was good and I'll order it again!! They have a decent amount of tables. I like how they decorated the photos as gifts in the holiday season. I'll be back!

    We were seated right away, at the last hour of the days business, with almost a full house. Quick and friendly service. Food was served fast and hot and fresh. A pretty busy place with lots of staff, good to see. Cute decor and clean.

    My favorite breakfast place. Service is always awesome. Restaurant and the bathrooms are always clean. Also the little stickers they give out randomly are adorable.

    The Traditional.   Two over medium eggs, turkey sausage and potato's.
    Scott B.

    Well as most of my followers know I'm not a fan of chain restaurants but I've always liked the First Watch locations I've visited and the Hampton location is no different. Today the wifey and I both got the Traditional. Both with 2 eggs over medium, turkey sausage and potato's. As for the meal - it was very good and hit the spot. Let's talk about service because that's what really shined today. Our server - Zachary (Zac) was absolutely great. I mean this fella greeted us at the door and sat us down. 2-3 minutes later he was collecting our order. Within maybe another 3 minutes we had our drinks and maybe 8 minutes later we had our meals. Zac checked on us several times and kept our drinks full. He was outstanding. Now here is another kicker. During our meal another person (lady) didn't catch her name, I'm assuming a manager, came to our table and the tables around and made sure our meal and time there was good. That was a very unusual service and I noticed how rare that was. So basically a real descent meal with outstanding service. As for the location. It's in a strip mall and had plenty of parking. The restaurant appeared well cared for and clean. We didn't use the restrooms which is often a real tell of a location. So listen if you're hungry, go ahead and give this place a try. I don't believe you'll be disappointed.

    I really liked this place! I visited my daughter and we stopped for breakfast and were so impressed! Clean restaurant, friendly staff, and really good food. You gotta try them!

    Hibiscus punch and mint mocha iced coffees
    June J.

    Use the app online to check in faster before arriving! I live First Watch! It's me go to whenever I have time to brunch on the weekend. We went this time to use a gift card we received. I loved the new drink they had, the hibiscus punch. Very refreshing! I was also super excited about my favorite pancake, cinnamon chip. However, it was a little burned. I know the chips make it a different texture, but I didn't eat over half of it because it just was too hard. It was very disappointing. My husband enjoyed his burrito and the rest of my breakfast was delish. 4 STARS! I know I'll be back and this was a fluke. I still love First Watch!

    Jennifer was amazing. Super dope server who was hilarious. My first time at this location. My food was so good. Service was top notch. I chose the turkey bacon sandwich but subbed for the million dollar bacon. Great choice. We'll be back STAT!

    Ask the Community - First Watch

    Are customers available to make reservations?

    You can reserve seating ahead of time (same day) with their app or on yelp, then you have 15-20 mins to check into the restaurant.

    Does first watch serve alcoholic beverages? Mimosas, sangria, etc?

    I don't know why so many people said no to this, they have several alcoholic beverage options. They're listed under the juice choices on the drink menu! They usually have some seasonal options as well that they have on the big chalkboard.

I also had the pistachio cloud latte with oat milk. I dined in, and it gave me an opportunity to check out the bistro. They have indoor and outdoor seating. They also have wine and mimosas.

It's a…read more90s-themed coffee shop, which immediately caught our attention, but since we live across the water, we just never made the time to make the drive. Well, the opportunity finally presented itself when Drip N' Sip 757 was used as the venue for a cake decorating class we signed up for! Since the event was after hours, we weren't sure if we'd actually be able to order anything from the coffee shop, so we were VERY happy to see that the owner was there along with cashiers and baristas, and they were still serving drinks. I ordered a sugar-free raspberry vanilla matcha, frozen, and it was delicious! One thing I really appreciated is that you can get their drinks hot, iced, or frozen, and they have SO many options for customization. They have basically every milk you could ask for: soy, oat, coconut, cow's milk, etc. They even offer both regular and dairy-free whipped cream. There are also tons of different flavors to choose from, plus pastries if you want something to eat. But let's talk about the DECOR because this place understood the assignment. There's a huge mural covering an entire wall by @somitheartist on Instagram, filled with 90s nostalgia. There are references to MTV, All That, and even THAT little "S" we all used to draw by making the lines and connecting them. If you know, you know. Seeing that on the wall immediately took me back. The whole shop has such a fun, nostalgic vibe without feeling overdone. The cake decorating class itself was a great time, but since that was a separate event, I won't get too much into it here. I will say that I really appreciate Drip N' Sip 757 making their space available as an after-hours venue. It's a great way for people to enjoy the shop in a completely different setting. The owner was also incredibly kind and patient with all of us as we stood there trying to figure out what we wanted to order. Everything was clean and tidy, including the bathroom, and I genuinely loved the atmosphere and decor. Overall, I'm really glad we finally made it to Drip N' Sip 757. Between the delicious matcha, all the customization options, the friendly service, and the nostalgia, I really enjoyed everything about the experience. It's definitely quite the drive for me coming from across the bridge, but I'd absolutely come back!

The event was from 5-7 which was after their usual business hours, but all of the drinks and pastries were still available. Mya was one of baristas, and the owner, Melanie, was also present. All very nice staff! Super friendly, personable, and helpful. I tried the Signature Drink called Drip N Sip. It is a white chocolate mocha with caramel, and I decided to get it frozen. I love that all the drinks can be made hot, iced, or frozen. They have every type of milk including coconut, oat, and almond. They also even have nondairy or dairy whipped cream options! Literally something for everyone. My drink came out very fast despite there being about 15 of us, and it was very good! Drip N Sip is decorated in everything 90s! From my favorite 90s tv shows, to music groups, movies, and tv stations, it is super nostalgic! I love all the artwork and the brightness of the place. Overall, we had a 10/10 experience and I would definitely come back. I think it is neat the owner even allowed the private event! Definitely worth checking out.

They were recently spotlighted by Channel 13 as part of their Friday Flavor segment. It was a no brainer that we stopped by to give them a try. When we walked in, we were both greeted by the staff of two behind the counter. It's a very small cafe with two tables for up to 6 people, a small round table for two and a bar table area. Everything was clean and spotless with decor all over. A welcoming spot for all that comes in. We ordered right at the counter upon walking in. My choice of beverage was a medium sized Forget Me Not (sure it was named after the song from Patrice Rushen) served iced. It's a cinnamon latte with whole milk (my choice) and sea salted caramel toffee. Also, I ordered a sausage and egg croissant and a cheese danish pastry to eat. Everything was really good. All the ingredients for the beverage came together. A little strong, but not too sweet. And the croissant sandwich and pastry really helped myself become full for the morning. A really big thanks to the staff for keeping us satisfied during our visit. We'll definitely come back real soon :)

I think the tater tots were my favorite part - they were the perfect crispness. Burgers were delicious but messy, especially when your kids don't understand how to eat a burger with the paper wrapped around it so the toppings don't drip out and fall apart. The grease didn't soak through the buns like other people talked about, but it definitely had some liquid coming off. Still, delicious! There were a lot of people in line to order when we got there, and we were worried it would take a long time, but the orders were coming out pretty rapidly and we didn't wait too long. They do have some coloring books and a puzzle to keep little kids entertained while waiting, which was much appreciated. They also have a small farm shop in the next room with various items for sale. Overall, we would come back to support the farm-to-table concept, but not necessarily because of the food.
