The Chickenchanga...it may be all shades yellow and brown but it packs a punch to the taste buds.
Rebecca K.

There are days when you set out for adventure and treasure and come up empty handed. And then some days you strike a goldmine. This was that day... When you find not only the best version of something you've ever had but the best breakfast you've ever had you can't help but sing it from the mountaintops! Let's start with the Chickenchanga...loaded with meat and veggies rolled into a tortilla with a super sassy sauce and before it could slap your taste buds too hard it rounds out with a bright and refreshing little fruit salad. Then the Works Omlet...meaty with ham, bacon, and sausage and filled out with huge chunks of mushrooms. Nothing overpowered anything else. The sour cream and cheddar gave it the right amount of acidity. And a side salad to keep it a bit light. Now...and it brings tears to my eyes...my masterful Eggs Benedict...first let me say, they did not mind substitutions at all. Ciabatta bread! Yes, ciabatta bread instead of the standard English muffin...perfectly griddled ham, a lemony, light and bright hollandaise sauce that will blow your mind, and the most perfectly poached eggs you have ever seen! The stars and planets aligned. God rays shown down from Heaven. Dogs and cats living together...Utopia in my mouth. There's no other way to describe it. There were enough servers so we were so well taken care of. Our server was personable and sweet and super knowledgeable. The restaurant was open and sunny even though it was an overcast day. Am I coming back? I'll leave that for you to decide...oh heck yeah I'm coming back!

Came here for brunch after a morning hike at Cuyahoga National Park. Waiters were extremely welcoming as we came in, and were great throughout our meal. The restaurant was packed with lots of locals, who looked like they were having a good time. The interior was comfy and very welcoming. My girlfriend and I shared a steak and hash plate, and a lemon pancake dish. The steak and hash plate came with 2 eggs, mushrooms, and lots of potatoes. I wish that maybe it came with a slice of toast, because we weren't too full after. However, the lemon pancakes were very filling and tasty. Would recommend -- and come back for brunch in the future.

Receipt of very simple order, baffled that the order can not be packed complete.

Food was average today. Ordered Market hash with eggs over easy. What I got was an egg from an egg McMuffin (see photo). This is a breakfast place and they should be able to master the egg. Usually have a good experience. Order was checked by SM.

Classic spot for some delicious breakfast! A good place to visit if you're looking for some non-traditional and seasonal items!

Always love a weekend breakfast here with the girls. Love their hash skillets and generous portion of avacado in the avocado toast. Their pancakes are ginormous!

Great food, great prices, great atmosphere, great service. The honey-caramel iced coffee thing was delicious! The Market Skillet Hash (in photo) was so good and filling. The flavors were perfect together. Would definitely recommend!

Nice restaurant as is the case with all in this chain.: Clean, thoughtfully designed and good furniture. Through an error we were not greeted by a server for more than ten minutes. The hostess apologized and took our drink orders. I ordered a club sandwich and an iced coffee. The sandwich came with a cup of soup. The food was cold so it must have been sitting a while. Despite the temperature, the items did taste good. I especially liked the minestrone soup. The sandwich was just okay as the bread was dry. The iced coffee was very good. This experience is unique to this location as we have had good service and food at other First Watch locations. Hopefully just a bad day.

Chickichanga
Beth M.

I wish I could give 3.5 stars to First Watch. Like many places in 2021 I think maybe they are short staffed. And I am thankful for the people who are showing up! Cute place. Tin wall a little austere but all in all farmish and cute. My breakfast - the chickichanga was good although it had a lot of burnt bits on the inside which was disappointing. The Vera Cruz sauce was really tasty! Our server was super sweet and attentive but didn't know what the different kinds of eggs in the menu were when we asked. Mine were whipped (more or less scrambled) and my friends were basted (similar to sunny side up). I would definitely try First Watch again. Comfy, casual, healthy options.

If the flavor of this breakfast bowl lingered in my mouth forever I would be a happy girl ... This location lacks the sound dampening effect of cuyahoga falls, but over compensates with service ( Anastasia!) and attention to detail (cleanliness and immaculate presentation.) Also-- good value. The plates are huge and the menu items are satisfying. I have celiac disease and I was able to order with the relative safety that is all any of us can have in public. But I haven't gotten sick after a first watch breakfast yet. This is my new favorite location. I think there was something better here... maybe it just felt like everybody cared. Oh-- lol-- david liked his bacado omelette and coffee very much.

A coffee shop that I can easily visit between hikes in a national park? Heck yes!…read more I stopped by the Peninsula Coffee House and Market during a weekend trip to Cuyahoga Valley National Park this year. I was lucky and snagged a parking space in front of the business; their parking is VERY limited and I'm surprised I didn't have to use a lot that was across a bridge. (Note that the bridge is right by the coffee shop, so it wouldn't have been a long trek at all.) I ordered a Butterscotch Latte and a Sausage, Biscuit & Egg breakfast sandwich; snagged a seat near the front of the store; and settled in for a relaxing break between my hikes. The coffee was excellent and the sandwich really hit the spot! While seating in the lower level is limited, I've learned reading other reviews that there is an outdoor patio and an upper level too. Their website mentions that they run a sundry market here too; however I didn't spend much time shopping in the interest of not stretching my wallet too far during my travels. I also didn't check out the wine cellar in the lower level. While this shop is little, it clearly has a lot to offer, and I am so glad I found it during my visit to Cuyahoga. I'd absolutely stop by again during future visits to the area...and I'd love to time my next visit so I can check out that wine cellar!

It's also much larger than I expected and has a lovely patio out front with lots of tables. They have a large food menu with typical cafe eats as well as dinner entrees. I came for lunch on a Friday and got a tiramisu iced coffee (very good), as well as a mushroom crepe. The crepe could have been a little hotter, but it was tasty and the drink was good. Can't wait to go back to try more drinks and pastries.

We all visited Cafe Blanc for the first time and loved our experience especially the large (free) parking lot. We sat on the 2nd level towards the back. QUICK REVIEW (read this if you don't want to read this whole review): Try the potato pancakes. Great food and service. Slightly more elevated cafe. Busy during peak morning/afternoon hours and most likely less busy in the evenings. I have not been in the evening yet. Free parking lot and free wifi. FOOD - there are lots of food options to choose from for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They have sandwiches, salads, pizza, and pastries. I arrived around 10:20am so I wanted breakfast. I read that the croissants are okay but I haven't tried them. I ordered the potato pancakes, blueberry hibiscus tea (hot) as a dine-in order plus a slice of almond cake as a takeout order. The potato pancakes ($19) was delicious. It comes with 3 thick potato pancakes topped an egg on the center and with bacon bits spread all over. The potato pancakes also come with sour cream on the side which I didn't realize so I moved that to the side of my plate because I don't like or eat sour cream. I would order the potato pancakes again as a savory breakfast item but $19 is a little steep for the price. The blueberry hibiscus tea ($4) was a refreshing drink served on a mug. If you enjoy the combination of white tea leaves, rose hips, natural blueberry, and hibiscus then this tea is for you. I also ordered an almond cake slice ($6) but to go. The almond cake is a light and tasty cake with sliced/shaved almonds on top. SERVICE -- Friendly. Me and one of the shorter female employee had a nice laugh when I went down later in the day to order an almond cake. They started getting busy when I arrived after 10am on a weekday but I was able to walk right up to the front counter to order. The buzzer handed to me buzzed probably within 15-20 mins and I went down to get my order. I believe the tea that I ordered was ready first. Overall, I'll definitely be back. Prices are higher than a traditional cafe. The plus is that there is free wifi so it's a perfect spot to work on your laptop. The tables are big and the chairs are comfortable. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 99/250 total reviews in 2026 - 940 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 27 May 2026

We sat in the big comfy chairs. Drank a tropical bubble tea and an iced churro coffee. The tropical bubble tea was good. Not too sweet, a little bit too much ice, but was very cool and refreshing.

The counter is in the back; they have a large selection of breakfast items but the main draw is coffee. They have all the brewed standards, plus along the rear wall are dozens of roasted beans to buy to go. Beans from all over the world, roasted in different ways, some with flavoring. You can fill up bags to enjoy your favorites at home. During our visit, I ordered a bagel and their star tots. The bagels were great quality, toasted to order with any toppings. They have options for breakfast sandwiches as well. I also had a cold brew. The staff was small, but surprisingly efficient even with the amount of customers coming and going. Prices are super reasonable as well. If you're in the area, this is a cozy spot for breakfast.
