    Farmhouse Hash
    Caleb Y.

    My wife and I have not been to this location! It has a beautiful ambiance. But it was pretty loud so it was hard to hear our conversations. We came on a Saturday morning so it was the breakfast rush. My Farmhouse Hash was excellent! And the code is amazing as always. My wife's waffles were great too. One of our friend's egg's Benedict had too much lemon flavor, but that's ok. Our server Kadence was really attentive and she did a great job!

    Morning Meditation

    Such a great brunch spot! Food is fresh and service was quickly. We loved the outdoor dining area, and unique juice options. We bring everyone who visits here at least once! Highly recommend!

    Morning Meditation juice.

    We are huge fans of First Watch and this visit did not disappoint. They had an elote burrito as a special item and it was a rather large portion and really hit the spot as something a little different for breakfast. The morning meditation juice is the best choice in my opinion and you simply must have the millionaire bacon. The service was attentive, warm and friendly. My mother tipped very generously and the server was very moved. I would definitely return to this location. Wonderful food and service.

    Food was alright, nothing special. Seems like a place where you expect consistency but nothing that'll blow your socks off. I have to say the fried potatos did slap though! Wait staff was nice and food came out quickly even when busy!

    Over hard eggs mixed into the farmer skillet.

    Not a great experience. First not a single friendly face on any of the servers who passed my table. Each one had a look of disgust or annoyance in their expression. I also ordered the Parma skillet with eggs over easy and they came obviously over hard. I was able to get the attention of a different server and asked for over easy eggs which came very quickly. I like a more friendly welcoming atmosphere, not one where it seems like every conversation is the cause of annoyance.

    Avocado toast

    I hadn't to First Watch in months so decided to stop by for brunch Saturday! It did not disappoint!!! Tip: Get on the wait list if you plan to go during a busy time. Our server was perfect so attentive and friendly. One of the many things that I love about First Watch is that coffee is included! Why isn't coffee included at every breakfast/brunch restaurant? #QTNAz I would vote for the owners of First Watch for president for this alone...ok the rant is over. My favorite dish when I'm feeling healthy is the avocado toast!! Idk how they make avocados taste so good but they've mastered it!!! My other go to is the morning mediation juice!! It's refreshing, it's tasty, and healthy!!!! I also love that they have seasonal drinks and food items! I'll be back to try the salted caramel iced coffee for sure!!

    Kid grilled cheese with fruit cup

    This First Watch is in a super busy location in McKinney which I personally love. For anyone who enjoys breakfast/brunch spots First Watch is definitely going to be your cup of tea. If you are in the mood for a traditional breakfast glance at the top right hand corner of the menu in a small box and there are 2 options to select from. But First Watch is fancy and their juices are wonderful so it's a delicious place for breakfast or lunch that goes far beyond basic or standard diner fare. And those options are what the menu concentrates on. Our waitress was unpleasant so hopefully when you dine there you won't get her. She brought a visibly spotty water glass to the table and promptly walked off. And my granddaughter's grilled cheese kids meal was delivered almost 15 minutes before my order finally came to the table. And if you love bacon you will see million dollar bacon listed. Order that and you can thank me later.

    Avoid sitting at Ireland Grace's station. We ordered the trifecta, the classic, and the kids bacon and eggs. The drinks came out right, but the food came out wrong. We never got our sausage and the ham never showed up. We asked for it twice. I got toast instead of waffles and then when I asked for waffles. She added an additional charge for waffles, even my order included waffles instead of the potatoes and toast. Not the typical 5 star service today. We were wondering why she didn't write anything down.

    Sunrise granola bowl
    Sarah S.

    Such a great place to grab breakfast! Great addition to McKinney. I love their sunrise granola bowl and love how it comes with one of their freshly baked muffins! I am also a fan of their juices. Great spot to visit with friends and family. Food is always consistent!

    I've eaten here several times recently. The food is good. My only dissatisfaction is the coffee is $4 dollars. I just seem a bit excessive to me.

    Farmers Skillet and biscuits and gravy

    There was a bit of a wait twenty minutes- not bad. The food was excellent: quality ingredients, great flavors, properly cooked, not over seasoned or over salted. Service was good on task, with only one repeated request for ice water. We ordered and received our meals quickly for as busy as it was. The Bloody Mary was sadly lacking. No nuisance of flavor: no seasoning on the rim of the glass, the millionaire's bacon was under cooked, chewy, limp and not worth a second bite. Blood Mary's are at the base tomato juice, this had only one flavor, Tabasco. We gave it two try's and poured the rest of the serving into the glass just in case the tomato had settled. Nope still not good. The presentation was good glass of ice with the drink in a separate bottle- bacon skewer.

We…read morespecifically searched for this place because we traveled to Japan before and have been craving authentic Japanese pancakes ever since. This place absolutely delivers every time. The pancakes are fluffy, fresh, and full of flavor. The coffee is amazing too. Everything tastes high quality and worth the wait. The café is always busy, which says a lot about how good it is. One thing we really loved is that they even have kiosk ordering, which reminded us of Japan. You can also place your order ahead of time for pickup, which makes everything so convenient. Just amazing overall and definitely one of our favorite spots for Japanese pancakes.

The space is beautifully decorated with a Thai jungle vibe, which makes for a fun and immersive atmosphere. Ordering is done via QR code at the table, and water is self-serve, so it feels a bit more casual and less service driven. The dinner menu was smaller than expected, with fewer than 10 main entrée options and a heavier focus on desserts and specialty drinks. That said, the Malay shrimp curry was excellent--rich and flavorful. However, for $21, it was a bit disappointing that it didn't come with any vegetables. The Mango Soufflé Pancake was a standout dessert--light, unique, and delicious--but at $20, it's more of a splurge than a casual add-on. One thing to note: there's a 10% automatic gratuity added to all orders (listed as a service charge in small print on the menu).

Add in a small bookstore or bakery as well, and you're probably talking about 90% of a young girl's fantasy. Maybe it was just me... Yeah, what's not to like? Good coffee, a zillion plants, friendly employees, and a nice open seating area. Good place to meet up with a friend or have a solo study session like me. If this place was closer, I'd be here a lot more often. I ordered the cold brew with coconut cold foam (suggested by the barista) and it was good. So good, I ordered two of them and ended up standing in my car, vibrating all the way home.

We ordered two drinks and the cashier did not mention that there was a wait at all. Only after we paid, when we commented on how many cups were in the queue, did she mention the wait would probably be 20 minutes or so. The wait was FIFTY MINUTES! For two coffees! The girls were lovely and probably overwhelmed, so I understand it was stressful, but I have to wonder why they continued to accept drink orders knowing they were this backed up. It felt very irresponsible and disrespectful to everyone's time. I ordered the lucky charms latte, and it tasted exactly like lavender. I hate lavender in a drink and would never have ordered it if I had known. I actually ended up buying a new latte from Bresnan because it was so bad. Cute shop and again, they are very friendly, but the way this weekend was handed is completely unacceptable. Nothing was offered to all of us who had to wait almost an hour for our drinks, either. I will never be back!
