Fantastic havarti and roast beef sandwich! My buddy and I found a busy Saturday brunch spot with overflowing hungry people. Got a table after a fifteen minute wait, great staff, big fun menu, and wanted to try a lot more than we could've at one noon meal. Hope to get back, a lot of pleasant surprises too like the soup added onto the sandwich and good variety of beverages. Top rated!

Million Dollar Bacon
June F.

We went in Sunday afternoon and this place still had people rolling in. We were able to grab seats on a community table right away where we share a table with strangers. Didn't have to wait so it was convenient. Food was served on time and staff were attentive. We learned about this place watching the GoodGood golf show on YouTube. The million dollar bacon was awesome. Can't wait to go back!!

I went all in with the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and the Million Dollar Potatoes, and I must say --this combo delivered. The pancakes had just the right balance of sweet and tangy. The lemon flavor was bright without being overpowering, and the ricotta added this creamy richness that made every bite feel indulgent but still light. The syrup was warm and the perfect finish. And those Million Dollar Potatoes lived up to their namesake: Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with savory, herby goodness. They were the perfect contrast to the pancakes and could stand alone on their own. Our server, Shaye, was amazing. Personable, attentive and professional! I look forward to my next visit.

Great customer service at this location. The food was decent. I ordered the breakfast sandwich but was not impressed at all. I asked for the potatoes to be fully cooked and they were not and the sandwich didn't have a taste to it except it was very buttery. I was craving First Watch for a while so thought we would stop by but it didn't hit the spot like I was hoping.

Avocado Toast
Sav M.

The service here is outstanding! The food taste is amazing as well! The morning meditation was French and crisp for juice, tasted like it was freshly juiced! The avocados were ripe and with a squeeze of lemons, tastes phenomenal! The eggs were also cooked to perfection! The server Lou and the management here are outstanding, quick, caring and they really took care of us! The restaurant was busy but cozy! We will be returning here they really handled everything so nicely!

Use their own farm fresh ingredients used to cook good quality food. So glad the have turkey sausage option, even have a turkey sausage biscuits and gravy option! The pancakes are huge take up the whole plate and very flavorful. I had the fall special honey Chipotle chicken dish and subscribe the bacon out for turkey sausage. It comes in a bowl with potatoes, eggs however you like, Avocado, crema sauce and sweet picked onions. Also got a sharable order of cinnamon apple donut holes with Carmel drippings sauce and icing. Wow! Everything was good, added a little pepper and salt to my entrée and it was just fine. I love the fresh food and the taste. What I don't like is the set up of the entrance/exit/waiting/payment area... that's right all crammed together in one place I tried using the app to schedule my arrival time and the app said that part wasn't available. If they have such a limited space/area to wait, I need to app to work. Our server was decent and pleasant. The restaurant itself is nice, bathrooms decent. They have outdoor eating but it was a little too chilly today. I would have loved to go outside so I didn't feel so cramped. Everything is great except the cramped space

12.17.25 first time visit for me, went with my work dept of 7 for a holiday celebration / breakfast. The morning meditation juice is to die for, and so pretty. I couldve had several of those! The food was tasty. Hot coffee was flowing. I loved that they brought coffee right away and kept a carafe on our table. I had the salmon eggs benedict, so good! Other dishes our party had inlcuded the salmon fritata, breakfast tacos, biscuits and gravy, and the seasonal pancake (see pics). And they didn't pressure us at all to clear out; we were in fact quite leisurely and really enjoyed our time there chatting. #yum #ReviewsByRL

Farmhouse Scramble
Arija D.

I love going to First Watch for breakfast! It's always a great experience. It can get pretty busy, especially on Sundays, so be prepared for a little wait, but it's absolutely worth it. I always order the Farmhouse Scramble because it has a little bit of everything I love: potatoes, bacon, tomatoes, avocado, eggs, and I always add extra cheese. It's delicious every time! If you haven't been to First Watch yet, it's definitely a must try spot for breakfast lovers.

Summer Menu
Sydney T.

We held our department meeting at First Watch this morning, and it was a fantastic experience all around. The restaurant seated us at their spacious community table, which comfortably fit our group of 7 but with space for 10 and still allowed for a private and productive discussion. The team had nothing but praise for the service, coffee, and food. I personally enjoyed the Honey Caramel Crunch Iced Coffee from the summer menu -- I'm still thinking about how good it was! Portion sizes were generous, and the food was top notch. I had the Chili Chorizo Omelette and my goodness was it one of the best omelette's I've had in a long time. We'll definitely be keeping this spot in mind for future meetings.

This is one of my favorite places for brunch as they offer gluten free options that are REAL food not just fruit or vegetables as Gluten free. My meal was bursting with flavor and filling!! Our server was great she had patience with my allergy needs. The atmosphere was relaxed.

Skipped Lavender Lemonade
Lydia C.

I recently enjoyed First Watch in Indianapolis. The Spiked Lavender Lemonade, featuring Vodka, lemon, cane sugar, butterfly pea flower tea, lavender, was a refreshing and light choice. Surprisingly, it had no noticeable taste of alcohol, making it perfect for those seeking a light, enjoyable drink--though it might be a bit dangerous at a girls' brunch! The highlight of my visit was the Blackberry Lemon Cream French Toast. The thick-cut bread, topped with lemon cream, fresh blackberries, mixed berry compote, creme anglaise, and spiced gingerbread cookie crumbles, was a dream. The lemon cream, in particular, was so delicious that it could be enjoyed on its own... I want it for my morning toast! The dish was lightly dusted with powdered cinnamon sugar, adding a perfect finishing touch. I could eat this every week. The service was excellent,and we did have a newer server who was very nice and attentive. He took the time to double and triple check for food allergies, handling everything with care. The coffee, though I didn't inspect it closely, turned out to be very good. As a Nespresso machine owner and a self-proclaimed coffee enthusiast, I had four cups--an indicator of its quality. Overall, a great experience!!

First Watch is one of our favorite spots for breakfast and brunch, offering a wide variety of options for everyone to enjoy. We always do the get in line option on their website that allows us to quickly be seated. We also do the mobile checkout for a quick exit. The welcoming service and spacious, family-friendly ambiance makes you feel right at home.

I don't know how I had never been here nor heard of it before, but I will definitely be back. I…read morestopped in for breakfast after a morning event and really enjoyed the eclectic environment. The menu is solid, with good variety. I ordered the A La Crossing Benedict, side of gravy, lefse, side Norwegian potato cake, and peach ginger hot tea. I was thrilled to find the hot tea was loose leaf in a pot brought to the table. It's a lovely touch. The Benedict had perfectly crispy bacon and so much asparagus. The egg yolks were perfectly runny and the hollandaise had great flavor. I picked the house salad with champagne vinaigrette for the side and enjoyed that as well. I tried the gravy on some of the sourdough bread and it had a great flavor. The biscuits and gravy will probably be something I order next time because it was so good. When I read they season their sausage in-house I knew I had to try it even though I wanted the Benedict. The Norwegian Potato Cake was a delight! I love every take on a potato pancake or latke and this one had great flavor. The Lefse was a perfect treat to end- I had the traditional with just butter, sugar, and cinnamon. (I had leftovers of this and ate it at home with extra butter and a little syrup also.) This place is a gem and I am so glad I stumbled upon it!

Large mug, excellent froth and the coffee was rich and bold ! I ordered the half order of biscuits and gravy with 2 eggs on top. I enjoyed the food, flavor and richness of the gravy. The gravy was stocked with sausage crumbles which added the full flavor. The eggs were fried a tad harder than I desire but they were tasty and topped the meal well. The price was more expensive than I anticipated but not crazy. Ruth's is a little of a distance for me which is how I base my final rating. I liked it and will go again if I am in the area during their hours of operation. But I would not pass some equally good cafes closer to me. If you are in the keystone area I recommend you stop

I don't have a traditional office, so I'm always looking for remote places to work. I love a change of scenery and environment. Over the past year or two, I've slowly faded out my visits to a certain popular coffee establishment with a name shared by a character on Battlestar Galactica. So, when a friend told me about The Haverstick, I needed to check it out! I'm so glad I did. It has become my go-to office of choice! Housed in a community center of a local church, the environment has dim lighting and soft music. A perfect place to get focused and stay focused. They have a coffee bar that also offers a few food options. The coffee is good and very affordable. The staff is always friendly. There is usually only one person staffing the coffee shop, but they get to your order quickly. You just may have to wait if there is a large group, as happened to me once. But no worries. Simply have a seat and get to work, and they will call your name when your beverage and/or food is ready to pickup. The Haverstick is less a coffee shop and more a community shared-space work environment that offers coffee. They have a lot of comfortable chairs and tables of various sizes. The room is wide open and you never feel crowded, even if there is a decent amount of people. However, it's usually only a handful of other people around, so it's a great place to get things done. They also have conference rooms for rent. I'm grateful this church has opened its doors to the public and offers such a wonderful and inviting atmosphere. I look forward to returning soon and getting some more work done.

You could even purchase some of that glimmer to make your life sparkle at home, granted for almost $40. I decided to stop in because I've pretty much tried every coffee shop in Hamilton County, and when I saw you could grab coffee to-go here, I knew I had to check it out since I've never been! I'm SO glad I did because this was easily one of the prettiest coffees I've had in the area, and the vibes were absolutely immaculate. The space was a little cramped, and it was somewhat tricky to tell who was waiting in line for goodies versus coffee, which made it feel a bit overstimulating. But the drink itself was sweet, delicious, and definitely worth the stop! I can't say it would be one of my frequent stops as I waited a decent amount of time for just a coffee, in a cramped area but was cool to see as I can't find myself making a reservation anytime soon after seeing the prices (sheesh to say the least!) It did seem like such a special spot in Carmel, IN, stepping into an entirely different world so I understand the hype, maybe one day I'll try the cake & food.
