    AM Superfoods Bowl
    Lauren M.

    Ordered online pickup and it did not disappoint! Food was ready at pickup time and tasted fresh. First Watch has the best iced coffee!

    Had a delicious breakfast this morning here at first watch had something was actually somewhat good for me. I'll take green pancake, but I threw some chocolate chips in there. Couple eggs, couple bacon awesome coffee was served by Rhea glad to see her and Matt are working at a real nice restaurant. Service is awesome and it's a nice clean restaurant. Check it out you'll like it.

    Floridian French Toast

    I have been to this location multiple times now and enjoy it each time. The food here is so fresh you can taste it! My latest favorite is the Floridian French Toast--it's loaded with fresh fruit and the toast is fluffy as all get out! I'm typically there around brunch time--11ish and there is never a wait.

    Belgian Waffle (try it with the blueberry jam)

    Love that First Watch has unique breakfast items. We ordered takeout and everything was still great. We tried the Elote Breakfast Burrito (a seasonal menu item) and it was massive, flavorful, and had a little kick of heat. We also got the traditional breakfast with a Belgian waffle that was super fluffy--be sure to try it with the blueberry jam!

    We finally decided to try First Watch. It had opened somewhat recently and we've been meaning to give it a try. Walking into the place I was pleased with the environment. The place was clean, looked very comfortable, and the decor is simple and pleasant. We were seated immediately, which was surprising for 10:00 am on a Saturday. The server came quickly to take our drink order. We ordered coffee, which was bold and delicious. My wife ordered a traditional breakfast, eggs bacon and potatoes. I ordered the Bacado omelette. Both entrees were very tasty and plated beautifully. Needless to say, we were impressed with our first visit. We will definitely be going back.

    Loving this huge coffee cup with delicious coffee. It's almost as big as my hand :)

    First time visiting this location and all we can say is WOW! 5 stars for a nice size new location with healthier choices and service with a smile. They are absolutely amazing! Customer service is obviously a priority here, it started by a staff member opening the door to welcome us. (Ended this way as well) The location is clean, open and designed with modern fixtures and good size tables. Our food was delicious. Everything came out hot, tasting fresh, and timely. The bacon was cooked the way I asked and the potatoes had a great flavor and are seasoned well in my opinion. Honestly can't wait to try this place again, highly recommend you do too!

    Shrimp and grits
    Chris W.

    Walked into First Watch today and immediately played a thrilling game of "Find Your Own Host"--spoiler alert, I lost. Eventually got the green light to sit at the bar (thanks, mystery staff member), and just as my hope was being restored, I made the tragic decision to say "yes" to the coffee. One sip in and I genuinely questioned if my taste buds had wronged someone in a past life. Thankfully, the shrimp and grits came in like a culinary superhero to save the morning. Hats off to the kitchen crew--y'all are carrying this place. Overall the food was good, service was okay and coffee was horrible. If I could recommend one thing it would be please start ordering your coffee from a new vendor.

    Don't order the Cobb salad to go unless you want to be very unimpressed. Tiny for 16 dollars and literally nothing in it

There are two drive thru kiosks here and ordering is all through a screen. There are so many different drinks and foods on the menu that if you are a newbie to this place it might be a bit overwhelming. On my most recent visit I had a caramel rockaccino with cinnamon and oat milk. It didn't take too long for it to be made and it had a well balanced sweetness and creaminess. I'd definitely get it again. I appreciate that you can bring in your own cup for them to use for your drink and it appears that you might get a little discount for using your cup too!

The way they handle pricing and ordering makes no sense. You cannot see the price of anything upfront. When you go to order, you are shown multiple sizes for drinks but no prices at all. You have to add items to your cart just to figure out what anything costs, then remove them and try again. I stood there for way longer than I should have just pressing buttons trying to figure out pricing. On top of that, they have a sign out front advertising one dollar coffee, but when you actually go through the menu, there is no one dollar coffee anywhere. It feels misleading and honestly frustrating. You end up wasting time trying to find a deal that does not seem to exist. Good coffee, but the overall experience and decisions around ordering and pricing completely ruin it.

One of my favorites that they offer is the Manhattan Club. I have also had the turkey bacon avocado sandwich. Everything tastes fresh and is loaded with flavor. They also have great salads and side dishes. Their potato and macaroni salads are among my favorite side dishes. They also have a nice selection of drinks. Some of my favorite beverages are their lemonades, smoothies, and coffee. The service is friendly.

It is perfection... the bacon is crispy and appropriately salty; the chicken, lettuce, tomato and ranch all complement each other nicely. The kicker is the chipotle sauce they apply. It's almost like a hot honey or something. It adds the perfect balance of sweet to the savory saltiness. Plus, I love how they grill the bread lightly. It adds the slightest little toasty note and crunch. I'll be back to try the Italian Wedding soup if it is the featured soup of the day. It was highly recommended by a neighborhood regular who eats there essentially every week. This sandwich experience restored my faith after I had a sandwich half as good for twice the price the week before at a competitor which, for now, shall remain nameless. Thank you Z Cafe for taking me to sandwich nirvana!

It's been…read moreabout 1-2 years since I've last eaten or ordered from here and decided to order to go for dinner. The web link on Yelp didn't work so I used menu photos from Yelp. 1. Item M14 -Gang Kiew Waan Roti from the photos says it's served w/ roti. But we were charged an additional $3 for roti, which was not mentioned to me when putting in the order. Only after we received our order and saw the receipt did I check Google. Web link on Google works and it appears they changed the name of the item and removed roti from the name. 2. To go portions are small for the price. Chicken larb was enough for like 2 people and had only one piece of lettuce. Papaya salad was also small and 1/2 the container was garnishes (carrots/cabbage). 3. For a noodle soup, any other place would put noodles separate from its broth. My khao soi came all in one container. Forgot to take a photo while it was in the container but there's an old photo of it somewhere on Yelp. 4. Crab fried rice had barely any crab. 5. There was no white rice. Places usually provide some white rice regardless if you order fried rice but I guess that's an extra charge here. 6. We ordered medium spicy for majority of the dishes because one person can't handle spicy but everything came out mild tasting. Even my khao soi, which I ordered hot spicy level, came out mild. 7. Thai tea was missing. After ordering, I asked the person on the phone to read back my order to me. She listed everything I had ordered including the thai tea. But after the order was picked up (not by me), the thai tea was not included in the order. It's a bit out of the way from here to there so no one is going to drive all the way back to get it. I went elsewhere close by for the thai tea.

We are coffee snobs, so we have pretty high standards. We returned a second time. The play area is now outside since there's a new taco shop setting up inside. My wife and I both ordered the Cannoli coffee concoction. We weren't impressed at all, especially given that we were told that it was their best seller. I got the hot version, and all it tasted like was warm, lightly sweetened milk. I couldn't taste the coffee, cinnamon, or any other ingredients supposedly in it. It wasn't until I got to the bottom that there was some unmelted chocolate syrup of some sort. My wife got the iced version. She wasn't impressed either, but noticed that the chocolate was solid too. If it wouldn't melt in a hot drink, then obviously it'd be worse in a cold one. The main complaint is really just about the weakness of the coffee. For me, $7 for a 10oz coffee drink that tastes like warm milk is enough for us to not try it again. I also think that they should use a less solid syrup for flavoring so that it mixes well hot or cold. The service is awesome, so no complaints there. The environment is nice and welcoming too, especially since they have the play area for the littles.
