    Farm Stand Breakfast Tacos
    Elizabeth R.

    When we arrived we were greeted at the door by several (too many) people who were gathered at the hostess station (they should not all hang out there.) We were taken to a table but there were empty booths nearby so we asked to change. They graciously accommodated us. Our waiter was very pleasant, and offered water for the table. During our meal he checked onus several times. We ordered the tacos, frittata, maple bacon and pancakes. All were well received. The pancake was shared by the 3 of us and was exceptional! The restaurant was clean and had a good vibe. We will definitely come back

    French Toast

    I enjoyed it! It was an overall solid brunch place for the weekend. Fortunately we didn't have too long of a wait when we went around 12 noon. They had all of the breakfast brunch options. There were a lot of options that were both savory and sweet and a lot of the classic choices like French toast, pancakes, skillets, bowls, drinks and coffee. I had the power quinoa bowl, and it was exactly what I wanted. It was something that was light and savory and healthy and tasty. My favorite thing about the quinoa bowl is that you feel full afterwards but it also has a tangy dressing and an egg yolk on top. But if you're in the more of the sweet mood, we also got the Floridian French toast. That was also a good balance of "healthy" with the fruit against the French toast. The interior had a modern finish and a lot of natural light coming from the glass windows. It has around up to 50 people worth of seating. They had the option of outdoor or indoor seating. We chose outdoor because the weather was nice. I will say it started raining while we were outside and we were pretty covered by the awning. Service was fast we had our food in a reasonable amount of time. They also filled up our coffee to make sure we never ran out.

    We had such an amazing experience at First Watch, and it was all because of America! Not only is she the manager, but she truly leads by example. Her energy, professionalism, and genuine care for every guest made our visit unforgettable.

    Lemon Ricotta Pancakes
    Antonio B.

    This is my first time trying this establishment. I initially thought they were only Chia seeds, smoothies, and açaí bowls.. today I was surprised when I learned they serve lemon ricotta pancakes. I took the first thing smoking ordered the lemon, avocado, pancakes, bacon with eggs and a kale drink. Although it didn't knock my socks off, so make me work on my toes, but it was definitely really good and the size of the pancakes were beyond my expectation. The service was really good. The waitress was really nice and attentive and helped me make the right choices for my first time. She seemed to be well liked by some locals who visit the Restaurant quite a bit. There is indoor seating and outdoor seating. The decor is pretty help It's great to accommodate early morning, breakfast for two or early afternoon, lunch or brunch. I will be back to try their bacon egg and cheese sandwiches. It looks really good.

    The food was great. The customer service was nice and fast and the restaurant was nice. I sat outside on the patio for a good breeze.

    Love First Watch!!! Service is always exquisite, food is amazing. I love sitting outdoors. The drinks are always freshly made. Came out here to celebrate my friend's birthday and post 5k race!!! Great time

    Been coming to this location for years and its our go-to place for a yummy breakfast or brunch. Staff is always friendly and helpful with food allergies. The place itself has gone through some decor changes, and currently has a cool modern country Houston vibe. This location has indoor and outdoor seating but I wouldn't recommend it for groups with more than 8 people as this location is not the largest but does have more seats for smaller groups making it better for a date.

    bacon and carne asada hash
    Anna S.

    My friends and I came to First Watch to celebrate Galentine's on a Sunday around lunch, so the restaurant was busy. It was my first time coming, so I was anticipating what the hype was about. Food: Originally, I wanted the Traditional Breakfast because of the bacon side, but I opted for the Carne Asada hash because it was a seasonal item & it sounded more appetizing. - Bacon side (3/5) - I'm not sure how I feel about spending more than $5 on 4 pieces of bacon. Many brunch places don't prepare bacon the way I want them to (with a little bit of crunch), and First Watch was no exception. The texture was a bit chewy, and I was hoping First Watch would be different, but alas, I wasn't a fan of how they prepared their bacon and regret getting it on the side. - Carne Asada Hash (3.5/5) - I generally enjoyed this meal but have some qualms about it. As the name suggests, there were a lot of potatoes, but they were cut into big pieces; I could have preferred to be chopped into smaller bits, especially given the starchy nature of potatoes. Halfway through eating, I thought I was fuller than I actually was. The avocado and pico de gallo included in the dish were the stars of the meal, though! Additionally, you can request to have your eggs prepared in various ways (medium over, sunny side up, scrambled, etc.). Service (4/5): Our waitress was friendly and checked up frequently. However, my one gripe is that we were expecting a 7th friend to come later, and one of my friends, who was already present, asked our waitress if they could bring another chair. She returned to the kitchen to get our orders but never brought the chair, so the 7th friend, who was late, had to grab it herself. While this is not serious, I cannot give the service a 5/5 for this reason -- but I understand that things were hectic, and they might've forgotten. Also, I don't get why my order came last even though I was the 2nd one to get my order taken; a bit weird, truthfully. Overall, I'm not sure if I'd return to First Watch. It wasn't a bad place, but there are better brunch spots in Spring/North Houston.

    First Watch is definitely a place to dine in for some delicious breakfast or brunch foods! I usually come here every time whenever my Fiancé and I crave for some yummy foods! The service was amazing as our server helped us with what to get & provided us a good experience here! The place was filled. I mean filled with so much customers to get amazing food here! I definitely recommend!!

    Trifecta (w/ grits instead of eggs)
    Arie W.

    Last Friday, I visited First Watch for breakfast with two of my closest friends, and while the company was great, the experience? Not so much. Positives - We were seated quickly, and our server was fantastic. She was friendly, patient, and went out of her way to offer suggestions, since I was struggling to choose from the menu. A+ for service! I finally settled on the Trifecta: a waffle, million dollar bacon, and a side of cheese grits (subbed because I don't eat eggs). Negative - the food. First, the timing was off. One of my friends got her food a full 7 minutes before the rest of us. Awkward much? She didn't want to eat without us, and we didn't want her food to get cold. :/ When my food arrived, there was something red on my waffle (despite my clear request for it to be plain). I asked the server, and she assured me it was raspberry--not strawberry, which I'm severely allergic to. I pushed it aside onto a napkin, but honestly, I shouldn't have had to deal with that anxiety. As for the food itself, it didn't live up to the hype. * The waffle: Thin, full of air bubbles, and completely underwhelming. Definitely not the thick, fluffy kind I expected. * The cheese grits: It was basically a bowl of melted cheese with little grits mixed in. I sent it back for plain grits, which were much better. * The bacon: The biggest letdown. It was way too sweet, like it had been dipped in maple syrup and then peppered excessively. I'm picky about bacon and was hoping for something amazing, but this wasn't it. If you've ever had bacon from Snooze, you'll know what I was expecting, and this didn't come close. The restaurant itself also had 2 issues - The restroom was absolutely disgusting, which is always a red flag for me. Then there was the chaotic payment system. You pay at the front, which sounds fine in theory, but it's right by the entrance where people are waiting for tables. Add a line of people trying to pay, and it's pure chaos. We were all crammed together, bumping into each other. It was a mess. Overall, while the service was great, the food didn't impress, and the chaotic setup made for a frustrating experience. I won't be returning. If you're looking for a solid breakfast spot, I'd recommend heading somewhere else.

    Food was outstanding. Service could have been better, but the atmosphere and menu made up for it.

    Million dollar breakfast sandwich with seasoned potato
    Thomas A.

    The food looks great but it was bland and over priced. The ham and guyere cheese omellete has one slice of cheese and the dressing on the greens is almost non- existence. The million dollar breakfast sandwich is boring the only salvation was the seasoned potato. The service crew us good. But i think the food can be more tastier and not to be over priced.

Their new location is pretty far from me, so i thought I'd check out this place since it is where my favorite used to be. However! This was my first and last visit. As soon as i walked in, i smelled an overwhelming scent of smoke. I'm not sure if that came from the patrons or the space itself, but that alone was almost enough for me to walk right out of the door. But i stayed because i really wanted to give this place a chance. Like another reviewer, Elizabeth V., mentioned, there were 3 women around the counter who were not welcoming. Considering that you have to walk a distance to even get to the counter, being welcomed when you get there would have been nice! Anyway, the woman who took my order wasn't kind or helpful and when i asked for my drink iced (because the menu didn't specify if the drink was offered hot or iced) she said - kind of condescendingly - "it's already iced..." How would I know that if it's not listed on the menu? And why am I receiving snark for specifying how I'd like my order? Even though I was ordering in person, it felt like I was ordering at a drive thru - being rushed and questions discouraged by an apathetic employee who'd literally like to be anywhere else in the world at that moment. I knew I wouldn't stay at that point so I grabbed my matcha (which was just okay) and left. It's super disappointing to see that this is what occupies the space where my favorite coffee spot used to be. Maybe good service is worth the 45-min drive to their new location! Coming here certainly wasn't worth the headache of traffic, construction, a busy parking lot full of people cutting through to avoid the traffic on the street, and attitudes from the employees. If you like good coffees and teas but also like a kind and welcoming ambiance, please go elsewhere. I wish I wouldn't have believed the 5 star reviews I saw here.

I was recovering from a cold so I decided to order a hot herbal tea and was happy to see that they had such a huge selection of loose leaf teas to choose from. My friend also got one of their lattes and we couldn't resist getting a tiramisu before leaving. Overall, we liked everything and I think this place is worth a visit for that Kafeina latte. - Kafeina Latte (4/5): The lady told us that this latte was half white chocolate and half pistachio and we could definitely tastes both flavors. I really liked how they put a lot of pistachio pieces in the drink, giving it a crunchy texture. This drink is definitely on the sweeter side though, so keep that in mind. - Nutty Almond Cream Cinnamon Herbal Tea (4/5): I was very happy with the flavor of this tea. Like the name suggest, it tasted very almond-y and had a good amount of cinnamon flavored. There was also a tangy fruity flavor that followed and reminded me of spiced cider. - Tiramisu (4.5/5): I was really impressed with their tiramisu. The mascarpone layer was very nice and custardy, yet felt so light and refreshing. I also loved how strong the coffee flavor was which helped balance out the dessert and made it not too sweet. Service/Ambiance: Upon entering, I was really surprised by how pretty the interior was with the mixture of gold and wood. I'm not sure how pack this place usually gets because I came at an off time ( like 1 pm), but they had a good amount of tables and seating available. I did see a handful of people studying, so I think this would be a good quiet study spot.
