I always love trying something new when I come to First Watch, but the one thing that always stays consistent with my order is the Morning Meditation juice. It's a delicious mix of beet juice, citrus, and ginger. In my opinion, it's truly a great pairing with anything on the menu. My friends ordered iced coffees, and it came out looking like a glass of milk over ice, and it sadly also tasted like straight up milk. We weren't aware that the iced coffee is made with a coffee concentrate and if you want an iced coffee, you should order a cold brew and then milk or creamer on the side. My friends were apprehensive on letting our server know that they weren't satisfied with the beverage, but Mario ended up being very understanding and offered to bring them cold brews instead, and that ended up tasting 10x better. Shoutout Mario for that! In terms of food, I decided on the farmhouse hash with over easy eggs. I ordered this with no cheese, and added mushrooms. It was a 10/10. The flavors mixed all together so well. I also snagged a few bites of my friends cinnamon chip pancake which was UNREAL. It tasted like a cinnamon bun married a pancake. We were able to put our names on the waitlist about 10 minutes before we arrived, and with it being a busy Saturday morning, we showed up to a line of people waiting for a table. Luckily we only waited about 5-10 minutes upon arrival before we were seated at our table. Mario was great and the food and drinks were phenomenal. The bathrooms were clean and the layout of the restaurant was very spacious and it didn't feel too crowded. I loved that there was outside seating and lounge chairs as well! read more

I used their website yesterday to order a pickup "to go order". The website was easy to navigate & it was easy to make substitutions and/or additions to your order. I arrived on time to pick up my order. It was lukewarm as if it had been sitting there longer than my quoted pickup time. The Roast Beef & Havarti sandwich was decent. My biggest shock was paying $1.99 up charge for the million dollar potatoes as my side. I posted a pic of what I received vs what the photo looked like online. The potatoes I received didn't even match the photo nor the description. They were not crunchy (mushy at best) and the bacon was burnt. It also included caramelized onions which wasn't part of the description. After a few bites, I threw them away. What a waste! I've tried to support First Watch over the years. Yet, they continue to fall short again. Close to $18 for these two items. read more

I'm a big fan of First Watch so I was thrilled when my mom wanted to go when I was in town visiting her. We were able to get seated quickly, even with my pup. We got a little seat outside and the server brought over a bowl of water for my doggy right away :) Our server was really sweet and attentive. Our food came out quickly and was delicious (I love the million dollar bacon ). Overall it was a great meal and we'll definitely be back! read more

My coworkers and I came back for lunch and we had another great experience. This location always has the best service, fresh food, and a cozy atmosphere. To drink, I got the kale tonic. It's so refreshing and just sweet enough to not make me mad about the kale. For my meal, I had the double bacon parm hash. The potatoes were perfection, the parm sauce was insane, and the bacon was perfectly cooked. The fresh arugula salad on top was bright and evened out the dish. Overall, a perfect meal. read more

First Watch - The heathy turkey - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Longwood, Florida

One of my favorite First Watch locations in Central Florida. This location is always fairly busy, but that doesn't stop the staff from being friendly and kind. I've always loved the farmhouse look of these restaurants. I also love that all locations have their own mural and decor to honor the local city they're in. The food is always delicious! I come for the seasonal meals. The best ones are the hash bowls and different burritos. I'll definitely be back! They are a chain, so you know you'll get consistent service. read more

This is my second time trying First Watch and I was impressed once again. It's rare to find so many healthy options at a diner so that's big to me. The service was good and they were willing to accommodate my substitution requests. This is a down to earth place to get a good bite with the fam for breakfast or lunch! read more

5.4.24 We had a party of 15 and arrived at 10:30. We were told that they only do call ahead and not reservations. When we arrived, we were informed the wait would be about 20 minutes. It ended up being closer to 40 minutes. I thought we would be seated together, but we had to sit separately at three different tables. Aside from the wait time and having to sit separately, the rest of our visit went seamlessly. The service and our food was fantastic. I loved my tri-fecta which included bacon, Belgian waffle, and two eggs (scrambled). read more

Love First watch! We came on Mother's Day and could not believe they were able to seat us in less than 20 minutes. I got the millionaires bacon and a traditional eggs Benedict. The meal was fantastic and I love their breakfast potatoes. My friend is gluten free and they also had gluten free bread which was a pleasant discovery. They have lots of healthy as well as lots of indulgent breakfast options. Always a fan. read more

First Watch - Eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Longwood, Florida

Horrible, service is horrific waited for 20 min for a box.... There were 6 tables and 3 servers.... Not this place

Possibly the most expensive brunch I've ever had, but also one of the best brunch meals I've ever had. I tried the purple haze beverage and the million $ breakfast sandwich off of the seasonal fall menu and both were fantastic! The sandwich featured the million $ bacon on a pork sausage patty, cheese, a runny egg and fresh arugula all inside a lightly toasted English muffin. Served with side greens with a little lemon vinaigrette, but you can substitute potatoes or fruit as a side option. It's not often I eat everything on my plate, but I think I've discovered one of my new, favorite brunch spots. The dining area was clean and all the staff were very attentive and friendly. The only thing keeping this from a five-star review is the cost, but I don't expect less from a delicious, non-GMO brunch-spot. I'll be back soon to try some of those lemon ricotta pancakes. read more

I had the best breakfast here! I got the Farmhouse Hash and modified it a bit to suit my tastes. Having the roasted tomatoes with the eggs scrambled was so super delish! Everything just tasted so good! The service was friendly, the decor felt like a farmhouse. The restroom was clean. There was plenty of parking. This location and the food is top notch! read more

I had the club sandwich & soup of the day... Italian Wedding Soup. Both were delicious. The soup though was only lukewarm which other diners had also complained about as well. I was taking mine to go so it wasn't as much of a problem. I mentioned it to management on the way out & she said she would go right away to look into it. Service was very good even though they were busy. Just a tad slow. I'd go back again!! read more

My husband and I usually come to this location and the food is always good. But today we had Darrius as our server and he is the reason why we decided to write this review. Darrius has the it factor!

I have always enjoyed ordering breakfast to go from this location. They always package it up nicely. I ordered the coconut with fruit and almond butter toast. I also ordered a kids' meal with the half waffle and chicken sausage. The otder was made at 8:06 a.m. and it was ready to at 815 a.m., so fast. The location is a nice, cozy spot. Definitely will take photos once I go back. Also, the food was delicious and fed me for two days. I would recommend this establishment to everyone. read more

I came with a group of seven and got sat at a large table that had four extra seats, they didn't tell me that they were going to seat other people. we had to share my large party with another table like this was Kobe's, they also took the others groups order before ours. We got our food much later than them and they forgot pieces of our order,and this one blonde server came over near the end of our experience and in a condescending tone asked if we were still using the syrup and did this finger circle motion..... my family and I are regulars and this is not the usual experience at this location.

Not gonna lie, the bar had been set pretty high by every First Watch previously visited before this location. I went in with the same expectations. The front of house interaction was great, friendly, receptive- despite being a busy Saturday morning. The restaurant was bustling and the noise level was definitely at the obnoxious level, but that part of First Watch is always consistent. lol. Our waitress was appropriately attentive and friendly. The food order was correct according to menu, all the ingredients were there. I ordered my favorite breakfast sandwich, the elevated egg sandwich. The egg was barely on the bread and the cheese was half-on/half-off the bun too. It looked like the kitchen just threw the ingredients on the sandwich and no one cared what the presentation looked like. So I pulled my sandwich apart and slid everything back into alignment. The worst part was that the sandwich was not even lukewarm, the same with the home fries. My partner had the same sandwich, his was an inappropriate temperature too. He had the grits, which were practically inedible. Just gross. He also had fresh fruit. The pineapple pieces made my tongue tingle and they were like the hard, fibrous inside of the fruit and very hard to chew. We couldn't eat them. It was like the head chef didn't know what all of the other cooks are doing- like there is no oversight for the quality going out to the tables that First Watch is known for. This location needs to step up their quality game to make sure their customers want to come back and will come back. We won't- and that's all she wrote. read more

First time guest, and it did not disappoint! I usually order omelets when eating breakfast out but couldn't resist trying the seasonal Double Bacon Parmesan Hash. It was a WONDERFUL mix of flavors cooked to perfection, and a very large portion. Absolutely delicious!! Early morning service was prompt and friendly. The only reason for a 4 vs. 5 rating was ambiance. Cozy, clean environment, but continual loud music was disruptive. I know this tends to be routine in restaurants, but at 8:00 a.m., I want peace & quiet with my meal as I gear up for the day ahead. read more

Was looking forward to this new location, however, it was a complete let down. There was more interest in the uber eats drivers than actual customers in the restaurant. The food came cold and extremely parsed. Half of the table was finished by the time other food came. Contacted corporate twice with no response. read more

This First Watch location was not only convenient on the highway but also they offered fast service. Today I ordered the avocado toast with the egg, and it was simply divine. The avocados were fresh. The toast was soft, yet firm, and the eggs were cooked perfectly not too runny and not fried hard. I appreciate it the service, and the atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. First Watch is always my preferred breakfast stop. I will make sure the next time I am in the Orlando area I will make a pitstop to this location. read more

I came in for lunch and I was immediately seated within a few minutes. I ordered a morning meditation fresh juice. it had orange juice, Lemon juice, turmeric, ginger, agave nectar, and beet juice. It was very refreshing. I got the biscuits and gravy to start with and the biscuits were very fresh and I liked that the gravy was made with turkey sausage. I decided to try something new and order the protein bowl and my friend ordered the frittata. We both agreed that we wouldn't try those again but they weren't bad, the flavor just wasn't there for us. I would definitely return for the biscuits and gravy and Morning Meditation fresh juice. read more

My husband and I went here for lunch and were seated quickly, but 15 minutes later the server didn't come to us. When we got up to leave then everyone wanted to take our order. While I realize it was lunchtime but the place was not full and people who were seated after us got service. We told the person who was at the register that we had been waiting for a server and she was apologetic and said she'd take our order. My husband said no it's a little too late for that. We walked out the door. I have been to many other locations and never had a problem even when they are slamming busy. A quick hello I'll be right with you would've sufficed. But when you can't even do that I'm out. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. I love a good brunch spot and this was definitely it. Went on a Saturday morning Christmas weekend and they got us seated fast and the food was perfect. My order was pretty basic but that honey pepper bacon really did what it was supposed to do. I also enjoyed that the restaurant was packed but it didn't feel crowded and my I didn't have to yell to be heard. Our waitress was also really sweet! Totally recommend. Sorry I did t take photos this time! It looked so good I just started eating immediately. read more

Breakfast here with family was good. There was a bit of a wait (as it was Sunday morning) but we ended up waiting a little longer cause of a mis-communication with the number of people we had. Understandable since we just had 5 adults and need of 1 high chair... so we ended up waiting for a larger table than what was needed. Never-the-less, we still got a nice spot in the back. Our server was friendly and the host apologized for the mix-up. I was actually very impressed as he was running around with the brunch crowd and still managed to make each table have a nice dining experience. Breakfast was delicious. I had the hash... "California" style with avocados and it was delightful. Did not realize this place was a chain and there is one located in Charlotte. Eager to check them out when I am home from vacation. read more

Went in for breakfast, and the lemon ricotta pancakes ($11.59) had my name on them. They were large fluffy pancakes with fresh sliced strawberries atop them. The lemon curd was a very good-sized spoonful, which I spread o to both. The syrup soaked into the pancakes, and the flavors were perfect. Did not get anything caffeinated or extra to drink with my meal. Our server Ariel was quick with getting our meals out and the checks to the table. read more

Had to review one of my favorite Restaurants again. They always get my allergy right, great service and quick seating. Hardest part is finding a parking place. This time we had a birthday party for a friend. 5 of us sat near the window. I had my usual quinoa bowl-so lemony and good. I also had a juice drink with pineapple juice, kale, cucumber, etc So light, not too sweet and earthy. My friends enjoyed an omelet and a club sandwich. Everyone loved their meal. read more

I've had first watch a few times and was content. The staff is ok, I always feel bad for them and try to be an easy customer since I know they're trying their best. The food is ok, I've had the morning meditation which is very refreshing. The biscuits and Turkey gravy is definitely a go to for me. The gravy is delicious and the biscuit just screams hearty comfort food. The power breakfast quinoa bowl is very clean and delicious another go to for me. I love the fresh veggie with the egg. I opted out of the sausage but I bet it would be tasty. Overall, I'll be returning to try the new breakfast drinks and maybe a pancake or two. read more

As my first trip outside of the Tampa-St. Pete metro area in quite a while I visited friends just north of Orlando in Altamonte Springs. On my way back home I stopped here for a breakfast I knew would be very tasty since I haven't run across a bad or even mediocre First Watch before. The trip here didn't disappoint at all. I got here at 10:30 and thought that I would have to wait to be seated but was shown to a table right away by the server who also was at the door to open it for me as I approached. Although the picture doesn't do the bowl justice this is a very filling meal and a great way to start the day. My fitness app logged it in at 970 calories, also high in saturated fats (almond butter) but surprisingly low (34 gm) of sugar. I was surprised that with strawberries, blueberries and bananas as well as yogurt that it wouldn't have been higher. It's a very relaxing atmosphere and a great place to go if you're hungrier than you are to take the time to prepare a meal. read more
