Yum! I've driven by this place so many times, I had no idea we had such a gem nearby. Lots of great menu items with a few specials that rotate seasonally, and a cute atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seats. I love that they have freshly made specialty juices (not just orange/apple) and decided to try the kale juice with the immune booster. Tasty! Now we've already been twice in 2 days! read more

My go to favorite is the Chickiechanga with potatoes, their French toast is delicious too.

Yum! Good food, great juices... loved the pumpkin donut holes. Made us feel like fall in New England. Thank you! Quinoa bowls were great, breakfast was fantastic, from omlets to French toast. The coffee is good... really enjoyed all of our visits thus far. Definitely a thumbs up!! read more

Menu is good but depends who is cooking The consistency is always off and just like most restaurants now the service is average read more

Always delicious. Love they're menu. Healthy choices are a plus. Love the quinoa bowls

New favorite breakfast spot! I was looking for a healthy breakfast/brunch place in the area & my boyfriend told me about this place that was right across the street! As soon as I saw the menu, I was in love! A lot of healthy, tasty options. The breakfast tacos were amazing. I make breakfast burritos a lot at home so to find a restaurant with tacos with a similar recipe was great. His omelet was good as well. Nice portion sizes. Typical prices for a restaurant like this. They also had really good coffee & fruit drinks. I will definitely return! Only reason I gave 4 stars is because the service was a bit slow. read more

Normally service is good and food is good. This time, not so much. It took about 10 minutes after being seated to get at least water. We sat for quite some time before getting drinks or even our order placed. Poached eggs came out what was similar to hard boiled. A number of tables remained dirty for quite a while after patrons left. read more

Main issue I had with this restaurant was that they will offer you free refills for hot coffee, but order a cold brew coffee and you have to pay for another glass. I could have just ordered a hot coffee and a cup of ice for free....and to charge $4.19 for a glass of iced coffee is absurd! This wasn't a specialty drink, but just coffee with ice. I still had to add sugar, cream, etc, for $4.19? No sir! The food was just ok. I had the Chile chorizo omelet which only had very tiny bits of chorizo so it was nearly just bland eggs (no seasoning) with a bunch of onions and about a tablespoon or chorizo in total. My boyfriend had the chickichanga which was better with more flavor and came with potatoes where my omelet came with a salad unless, again I wanted to pay more for potatoes that are already included with many other entrees at no extra charge. Stop nickel and diming your customers to death! The place is loud, super busy with constant people walking right next to you if you were unlucky enough to be seated in the center of the restaurant, and really hard to enjoy a Sunday breakfast out in a comfortable relaxed atmosphere. For this service and $65 for a breakfast for 2, we won't be back! read more

Your typical breakfast/brunch place and options, but First Watch is usually crowded at peak times! Get there early so you can be put on the wait list or just do no go at peak times where the wait can be anywhere between 20-40 minutes. Service is great, and food options are always good! Seasonal specials can help make this experience a little different every time. There is a community table in this restaurant, which is good for those dining alone or a couple that just wants a quick bite without the wait!. You can seat yourself at the community table but it will be a shared dinning experience for as many that can fit - may or may not be your cup of tea, but this is definitely a plus in this busy restaurant! Its a must go when in this part of town, enjoy! *accessible entrance* read more

First Watch - Front Entrance! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

I have made several attempts to weekend done but it's always same excuse either no wait staff or the cooks called in sick I actually made it to a table and was notified this weekend that the kitchen wasn't taking any more orders The restaurant was packed with standing room only and more than 8 tables empty I can't say that it's worth the effort to make the drive only to be turned away There are other options until the management staff gets things in order This seems to be the norm for this location Best to try the other one in Melbourne by the mall Or one of several other options that are close To this location read more

Good food! I was looking for a place that would help me stay on track with WFPB and this place did the trick. We will be back for sure. There are so many things to try. Plus, I want to pick up their cookbook. read more

Horrible service, the staff has an attitude like you're trying to eat brunch at the four seasons, but when you get there.... It's in a STRIP MALL and it's so over crowded that there's literally nowhere to move or talk. Ugh. read more

The food at this place was top shelf and service was great. The Bloody Mary however was barely potable. I will try again but I would say a good Bloody Mary is a staple for breakfast. read more

The 1 star is for the ambiance, it's nice. 3 out of 4 dishes were incorrect, one had the wrong type of egg (scrambled instead of poached). One had overcooked eggs on the eggs Benedict. Last one served a raw egg white on the Al pastor special. Service was non existent but our waitress was trying to expedite and help others so not say it was her fault by itself. They tried to fix their mistakes which is nice but the bowl with the raw egg would need to be recooked as there was raw egg all over it and at this point we had already been sat for over an hour and didn't want to wait for mediocre food. They comped us $8 on an $80 check. Overall very disappointed and 3 of the party of 4 feel sick post eating there. Won't ever be back. read more

Very good food in a decent location. If you are a brunch person, give this restaurant a try and you will not regret it. My only recommendation, don't go there starving as there is always a waiting list. read more

We have eaten at other First Watches and although the staff at this location was very accommodating to my gluten allergy and also very friendly, the food was just horrible. For our breakfast my husband got the meat omelette and I got farmers hash. The potatoes in both dishes were not only very undercooked but so darn salty neither of us could eat them. And we are salt people too. My gluten free toast was only toasted on one side and hard as a rock/stale as was my husbands who had regular toast. Coffee was terrible and not enjoyable what so ever. Then to top it all off both of us later that night got horrible diarrhea and the same time. That was not fun! We're so disappointed because it's so close to where we will be visiting a lot and won't be coming back. read more

This place was delicious! Large portions. Fresh food, great selection. Highly recommend giving it a try!

What's not to love! This is a favorite place for breakfast or lunch . My mom always splurges and gets the pancakes w/ lemon curd. Everything is great including the service. read more

First Watch - Pancakes w/ lemon curd. YUM! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

Food is great, service is good, the ambiance is great as well. I recommend the breakfast burrito or the waffle. The fruit compote is great. I trust anything off the menu is good, I've had a few things and have never been let down. read more

The juices are amazing. Made fresh and delicious. This is my favorite thing about First Watch. The food is okay. Portions are big. Always packed so make a reservation on the waitlist read more

Listen, I've never had someone fix an issue before I said there was! By eggs Benny came out too done! And I was just gonna eat it and not say a word. I hate waste. Instead they just brought out two PERFECTLY poached eggs. I've never had this type of customer service! Hell ya! read more

So I'm leaving this review based/for the couple next to us. It took them over an hour to get their food. When it finally came, they had to get new eggs because they looked like they were sitting somewhere for an hour (hard and discolored) The manager finally came over, don't know his name, younger guy, maybe 40 with a beard. His excuse--I guess everyone decided to eat at the same time! They got there at 1130 and were finally eating at 1245 (and they were seated the whole time) Yes Mr. Really Bad Manager, it's lunchtime!! I won't go back read more

It might seem like "Diner Food" but each dish has something fresh and special. Lots of healthy options but don't overlook the "traditional" breakfast foods with a special twist. Definitely will come again. read more

The service is always great, even though it's usually always busy. And I have to say, First Watch has the absolute best French Toast I've ever had. My friend had the Eggs Benedict and she made me taste it, it was outstanding. I can't say enough things about this restaurant. I wish there was one on Merritt Island, all though with it at the Avenues, it makes me go there! I wouldn't say anything bad about the ambiance, but we've enjoyed everywhere we've sat! I absolutely recommend this restaurant for a great breakfast or lunch! read more

Yum! Healthy options and indulgent options both! Clean with a cool vibe. Great service!

The food here is fresh, flavorful & just down right good!! If your looking for a great breakfast then search no more. The million dollar bacon is to die for if you love bacon! If they still have it get yourself a purple haze drink!! read more

I love this place ! ( and not just because I work here). The food is delicious and there is a ton of options . I would come here before I worked here a lot . I love the avocado toast , egg breakfast sandwich and the seasonal items ! Always try the seasonal items before they go away. Also ask for Amanda as a server if you come to the viera location (; Plenty of options for Gluten free and vegan guest. Come by and try it out ! read more

Have eaten here (and in Northern Virginia) many times. Love everything about the place. Primarily, the food choices are different than in traditional restaurants. The food is of the highest quality, and costs more as a result, but a lot of us are careful about what we put in our body. You have to pay for quality in our country; always have, always will, no matter the product. The food is prepared and served in a reasonable time, regardless of the crowd. The servers are always polite and helpful, very professional. I am particularly fond of the kale tonic and the smoked salmon frittata (don't forget to trill the "r"!) with a slice of toasted ciabatta. The menu contains something for everyone for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. Excellent coffee. read more

Had an amazing breakfast, lunch...everything was very fresh... Service was very good! Pancakes we're very heavy, too thick for me. read more

Another First Watch location in Florida! On this visit, my partner and I split the Elevated Egg Sandwich, with the bacon on the side and the potatoes replaced with fresh fruit. This was my first time ordering this dish, which is uh-maze-ing. The freshness of the lemon-dressed arugula on the sandwich really sets it off. Other than that, this location is pretty typical. Slow to seat you, slow to serve you, slow to turn tables. I love me some First Watch, but I feel like if they'd just turn tables faster, their customers' wait times would be so much shorter than they'd be so much more profitable. Obviously they want to serve quality, but it seems like there is room for improvement balancing quality and the time it takes to do so. Still one of my fave breakfast places though! read more

We try to go ever weekend for breakfast but if we don't get there before 8am the place is over run with baseball players from out of town. Try the Lemon Ricotta Pancake! read more

The service was terrible - the server brought us water and coffee and disappeared for 15 minutes! I ordered the "Brooklyn breakfast sandwich". Pastrami was brown and I took 3 bites before I tasted a bit of pastrami! Supposed to be on a "everything seasoned brioche bun - it was a plain bun with a sprinkle of seasoning on an oily bun. Nothing was said about there not being the everything bun missing and we never saw the server to check on how our food was, only quickly dropping off our check and hightailing out of there! No ambiance at all! My lady friend ordered a salad that looked and tasted good that's why I gave it 2 stars read more

Love this place! Often I go here with a big group after a Saturday CrossFit workout. We usually have to wait but it's understandable. This place gets very busy on the weekends. The cinnamon roll waffles are amazing! I wish they weren't seasonal and come back soon. I get the Farmhouse hash brown bowl which never disappoints. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for some time since several people I know visit regularly and rave about it. They rave on and on about the pancakes. I'll have to visit again to try them as this one I didn't want to overdo it with the carbs. I had the Tre-Athlete egg white omelette. I forget what my husband had, it was some kind of omelette with potatoes. We both had coffee. Everything was delicious and we both ate everything on our plates. The staff were all very nice and there was not much of a wait for a table. They seemed very efficient at getting everyone seated. We will definitely be back next time we are in Viera. read more

Very nice place to eat. Gets a little crazy. Wait times are 30 to 45 mins. Came from Virginia where the portions were great. Here not so much. The butter on the toast was not melted. Seems to have come out of the fridge. Some of the seating is really close to other tables. read more

About my 164th time here (I'm not joking) Absolutely Love this Cafe!! I come here here often and they never disappoint. The coffee is really good, My server Luisa was very Accommodating and really Nice. I recommend the Coconut chia seed bowl (with extra Granola) to anyone that hasn't tried it. They have Big portions and Their Menu has very Healthy conscience food and Vegan Selections i will definitely come back here again!! read more

Always a great experience. Never disappoints. I love trying the seasonal entrees. For this visit I had the Mushroom hash...soooo yummy and if you are a fan of mushrooms, a must get! Comes with Shiitake and crimini mushrooms, potatoes, cheese, and bacon. Oh and 2 eggs of your choice. I went with one sunny side and one scrambled. Perfection! Super happy. read more

Jeremy is the best! He waited on my friends and I wanna was very humorous and hospitable we felt very touched after our visit at our local ihop! read more

Waited too long for cold English muffin and cold bacon. Bill sure came quickly, however. Inattentive service otherwise. Won't be back.

I went on a Sunday, which I knew it was expected to be busy. I was told it would be a 45 minute wait. 2hrs later I had to ask what the status was because other people were going in and I had not been notified. Someone moved me up on the waitlist. Food was good. I noticed that there were some signs outside saying they were hiring for cooks and I could tell when I had to wait 45mins -1hr for the food to come. Restaurant and service was ok. Again, Sunday was busy so it was very crowded, but that wait was not worth it. 2 hrs and I was not notified, I had to go ask another associate about the wait. read more
