    Tri-Athlete
    Samantha F.

    Love first watch so much. The food is always so delicious and so many great options. We came in for breakfast and all loved what we got. I ordered an iced coffee, kale juice and the tri-athlete omelette. All of it was delicious. Only dropping a star because we did have to ask for refills on our drinks and had to ask for water about halfway through the meal because we never got it but other than that we loved it!

    Got the eggs Benedict which is my favorite and go to brunch menu. Everything was balanced pretty well. Unfortunately, my eggs were overcooked so they didn't have that gooey, sauce like texture. And I was like why are these eggs so tiny?? But I can tell it's a pretty popular place cause there was about a 20 minute wait! Also, the parking lot gets super full and packed. I had to park at the Costco parking lot.

    Delicious! Definitely worth getting on the waitlist through their app to save time. Service is always friendly. And the food is very very consistent. Love their seasonal menu options too.

    I had the crack juice, I mean orange juice, you sure there's no extra sugar? Hubs had the farmhouse skillet with perfectly poached eggs and my power bowl with quinoa - sub bacon for the sausage- always hits!

    First watch is a win anywhere in the country. Vivian was a great server on a Wednesday morning and the food is always fabulous. It's quiet at 7am which is great for a slow breakfast! Always have to get the million dollar bacon, and the honey chipotle seasonal hash is 10/10 as well!

    I organized a group lunch for my BTS ladies group. About 30 of us showed up. They were so accommodating and put tables together for us. We had a nice time. I enjoyed the food too. The green smoothie was lovely and so was my avocado toast. Huge portions!

    The service was great, and the food was hot and fresh. The bacon was sweet and savory and the chicken was tender and flavorful.

    I am rarely disappointed by First Watch, and this meal was no exception. My food was cooked perfectly and was tasty as always. Our waiter was kind and quick. Great place to stop by for breakfast or a quick lunch.

    Seasoned potatoes, bell peppers, and over easy eggs!

    These are updated photos from a visit to First Watch Fairfield Town Center Cypress, TX. There's always a smiling face behind the hostess stand as you enter. Depending on the time of day, you might have to be added to a waitlist as you mingle with your party. There's usually some designated door dash or the like shelf in the lobby. Guests are usually seated with delicious entrees in the restaurant as you pass by heading to your table. I've always encountered friendly and knowledgeable staff, which is definitely a plus. The restaurants are mid sized and have a farm to table ambiance. Nothing stuffy or fancy about the interior and it's always spacious enough not to hit elbows with the next guest. I've seen First Watch cookbooks for sale at the counters as well. Affordable enjoyable entrees, that keep you coming back for more.

    We were seated as soon as we walked in. This was amazing as the place was packed. Our Server was a delight. Carolina kept a watch on our table without being intrusive. She was pleasant and responded so nicely to my husband who has some difficulty hearing in noisy conditions. The Carrot Cake pancake with pecans was soooo good. However, it was gigantic! One is really enough. My husband had The Works plate. He loved it. I heard an Mmmm coming from him. This is really something as he is very picky when it comes to his food. The portion was also huge. He had to take about 1/2 home. I also ordered the Gingerbread Donuts to take with us. These are also super yummy. They come with two dipping flavors, vanilla, and caramel. Pricing was fair for the amount of food we received. We'll definitely return.

The exterior is just as beautifully decorated. It's clear that chef-owner Lori Pope poured a lot of time, heart, and soul into both the menu and the store's design. The hostess was super friendly. As soon as I walked in, she gave me a warm and smiling greeting. The menu was a feast for the eyes. It had a lot of lovely pictures of the different dishes. I was ecstatic to see that there were so many vegetarian and vegan friendly options. Also, most of the dishes can be requested to be made gluten-free. Big plus. You don't order at your table, instead you go to the counter in the back and make sure to bring the sheet with your table number on it. The gal at the counter who took our order wasn't as friendly as the hostess but she was polite enough to inform us about the 15% charge. The food came out very quickly. Hopefully it's because they had a ton of people working in the back. Hopefully. I ordered the Magic Mushroom Tacos and thought it was a beautiful plate. My favorite thing about the dish is the tortillas. It had a nice light crisp to it and kept all the fillings intact from start to finish. The "Magic Mushrooms" were good but could have been better if the batter were lighter and crispier. The batter was a little on the heavy and dense side for me. I also think the sauce could be even better if it had a bit less oil and a bit more flavor. I really enjoyed the potato slices and the fresh berries were a great way to cleanse the palate. My lunch date ordered the Biscuit and gravy dish and thought it was good. We also ordered a side of the Belgian waffle to share. I thought the waffle on its own was extremely sweet and way too dense for my liking. I am happy there's a locally owned and created brunch place like Harvest Kitchen and will definitely be back to try other dishes. Note: There's an automatic 15% service charge to every order.

This is done because of the ordering process and the requirement to pay at the top of the meal rather than at the end and service was actually performed. The fact that all was done was the delivery of our order and not one check on the table to see how the meal was. They did come by and ask for the dishes, but didn't ask how the meal was.

We arrived and sat outside due to having a dog, beating the small waitlist they had of people wanting to eat inside. Feels like it gets busy there so be prepared to wait (they don't take reservations). The interior and outside areas are clean and simple, ordering was also fast too. Our server was attentive and quick, although she did make a remark asking if one of our party was sure they wanted to order as much as they did. Ignoring that, ordering was smooth. We got their pancakes, French toast, a side order of bacon, side order of sausage, and ranch omelette with biscuits and grits. Everything was good but the standouts were the pancakes and omelette that were very filling and hit the spot. Not many brunch places can be consistently good across all dishes but Toasted Yolk certainly was. It's convenient, relatively cheap, and good food. It's a great way to set yourself up for a good rest of day shopping in the nearby area (which is exactly what we ended up doing.)

Since it was our first time, we were looking around for a server and wondering who to approach. When the waitress finally came over, we greeted her politely. She responded, but then added an unwelcoming comment: "Are you just here or have you been waiting? If you just got here, please be patient." That really threw me off. As someone who has worked as a server before, I would never speak to customers that way. It felt unnecessary and rude. To make things worse, when our food arrived, I noticed what looked like a small metal piece (possibly a wire or bristle) on the plate next to the bacon. That's a serious food safety concern and very alarming. When the server came back, she didn't apologize or acknowledge the issue at all, which made the experience even more disappointing. Overall, between the poor service and the issue with the food, I was very disappointed. After this experience, this restaurant is now on my blacklist. I won't be returning.

I had been watching this one being built for a while and was especially curious to try it since this location has a full bar, which adds a really fun twist to the traditional coffee shop concept. I stopped in for lunch and decided to sit out on the patio which ended up being the perfect choice. The atmosphere was relaxed, bright, and inviting with a nice open feel that makes it easy to slow down and actually enjoy your meal. The staff was friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in and everything moved quickly and smoothly. I ordered the guava mimosa and it was SO good. Light, refreshing, and honestly the perfect daytime drink. For food I had the chicken avocado wrap and substituted the chips for truffle fries and both were SOOOOO good.

Unfortunately, the service was extremely slow. We sat for about 15-20 minutes before even getting water, and we had to ask for basic things like a fork and napkins (which we ended up grabbing ourselves). The biggest disappointment was the food timing: everyone at my table received their meals, and mine didn't come out until about 20 minutes later. By then, I didn't even want it anymore and just picked off someone else's plate. What I did try from my friend's dish was decent, but the overall experience definitely wasn't a highlight. There were a lot of staff members standing around, so it was confusing why everything took so long. Not somewhere I'd rush back to, but hopefully they improve the service and timing because the atmosphere had potential.

Everything we ordered was absolutely DELICIOUS and packed with flavor. It's hard to pick just one dish to recommend, but if I had to, I'd say the cauliflower bites were my fav and are a definite must try. Perfectly seasoned with a little spicy kick. The beignets were another standout...light, crispy, and not overly sweet; plus it came with a little dipping sauce. I had the kale and mushroom pasta dish which was heaven for this pasta-loving girl. It was fresh and full of bold flavors. You could taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite (and the added shrimp were HUGE). Don't forget to grab a matcha latte. I had the lavender flavor and it was the perfect balance of sweetness. Highly recommend as well.

The casual, open space was inviting and the place was spotlessly clean. However, the customer service was just average. I wanted an egg and cheese biscuit with gravy and asked if I could replace the bacon in the Bacon, Egg, Cheese Biscuit with the shiitake mushroom gravy. However, the gal at the counter said no so I ended up ordering the spinach, egg, and goat cheese biscuit and had to order a side of shiitake mushroom gravy. She wouldn't even let me switch out the goat cheese for cheddar cheese. Needless to say, service was not the most accommodating or helpful. My lunch date ordered the chicken and waffle and gave it a 4/5 rating. The chicken was crispy but the waffle was more on the dense side. The biscuit was also dense, more so than fluffy. It was baked golden brown and had a slightly crispy exterior which was the best part. The inside didn't pull apart into delicate layers. Instead, it crumbled when I forked through it to get a piece. I'd give it a 4/5 rating. I thought the shitake mushroom gravy was very good and give 5/5. I'm just happy they make a vegetarian-friendly gravy. I also like that have fresh squeeze orange juice on the menu.
