    Met up with some friends for breakfast last week to kick off the weekend. I've been to a couple First Watch locations but never this one. Had to pop in a support our friend Ryleigh! Rumor has it she's the best egg cooker person in AZ! :) We were greeted quickly and while the place was full, we got our table within 15min. Service was perfect and everyone we interacted with was amazing. There was a great morning vibe and the atmosphere was welcoming. The food was spot on! I got the seasonal Raspberry French Toast with cookie crumbles. Loved it! My friends all loved what they got as well. On a scale of 1 - 10, this is a perfect breakfast/brunch stop if you're in the area. I will definitely hit it up again!

    The coffee was good

    I arrived as they opened so there were just a few other patrons present. My first impression was how bright and uncluttered it was. Cleanliness was apparent as I looked around. I was greeted with a smile and a welcome within a minute or so. My waiter was pleasant and attentive without being bothersome. I ordered 2 eggs over easy, bacon, potatoes, toast and coffee. My food didn't take too long to arrive. The coffee is a little weaker then I like but it was okay . The toast was closer to bread then toast, it could have been a little more toasted . The eggs were cooked as requested and the potatoes except for a few were cooked properly. The bacon was cooked to perfection for my taste, crispy without being burned. In summary the service was excellent, food was good, prices fair and the place was pleasant and clean. I would enjoy eating there again in the future .

    Chickichanga. The strawberry looked very pale like frozen ones..

    We went to First Watch at another location and I thought food was pretty good.. So decided to come here and have brunch. They were pretty busy so had to wait about 20 minutes which was not too bad. Ordered the Holiday menu stay golden cinnamon roll and coffee for starter. Then ordered salmon egg Benedict, steak and egg hash, and chickichanga. Cinnamon roll was way way too sweet for my liking. Without frosting was not bad but man that frosting is lethal.. My steak and egg hash was pure disappointment. The parmesan cream sauce was so blend I didn't even realize it was "parmesan". Over all the dish had no flavor what so ever, I had my egg over medium but it was over cooked. Salmon egg Benedict was not too bad, but the poached egg was cooked perfect. Chickichanga was also not bad but lacked some flavor also. So many different breakfast places to eat this place definitely is a skip for me. I would not be returning. Over all

    2 Eggs, Pork Saisage, Homestyle Potatoes, English Muffin, and a side of Cheese Grits! VERY GOOD
    Matthew M.

    This is a solid place. It's always very clean and the employees are super nice. I ordered the typical breakfast which was two eggs, a side of meat, potatoes, and choice of bread. It was very good. I never order any breakfast without getting a side of grits as well so I decided for the cheesy ones and they were great. This is a little bit different than your typical greasy homestyle breakfast but it's still very good. Give this place a chance!

    If you're a breakfast lover, chances are you've come across a First Watch, a well known staple with lots of convenient locations. I love that I can be in an unfamiliar part of town and still know where to get a good brunch. The food is consistently delicious and the service is reliable. My faves are the farm house hash and lemon ricotta pancakes!

    The Works Omelet
    Michelle M.

    This was my first time having breakfast at First Watch, and I don't usually eat out for breakfast, but this was by far the best breakfast I've had! My friend and I both ordered the Works omelette, and it was excellent. The house-roasted Crimini mushrooms were incredibly flavorful, nicely sized, and cooked perfectly. The bacon inside the omelette was fresh and crispy, and I substituted extra ham in place of sausage, the ham was delicious too!Instead of the lemon-dressed mixed greens, I opted for the seasoned potatoes, and wow...these were phenomenal. Super crispy with a bold garlic and onion flavor, not overloaded with pepper like some places tend to do. Honestly, they were the best seasoned potatoes I've ever had.The meal also came with whole grain artisan toast with butter, which was warm, hearty, and very tasty.Another plus: if you're watching what you eat, First Watch's website has clear, detailed nutritional info for all their menu options. At just over $14, the price felt very reasonable given the quality of the food and today's prices. Highly recommend!

    Iced Coffee
    Lauren M.

    Always a great place for brunch! Iced coffees are always made perfectly sweet if you prefer your coffees to be more on the sugary side! The market veggie sandwich is a great choice if you come in during lunch time.

    Food was delicious and the customer service was great. They took a little long to bringing the food but they apologized and gave the right service after that. The ambiance is a little loud but the wait time wasn't too long. Enough parking and you can also eat in the patio

    Breakfast sandwich with potatoes
    Erika B.

    Delicious breakfast! Party of two seated immediately on a busy weekend morning. We both absolutely loved our breakfast of the double crunch breakfast tacos, and breakfast sandwich and my son loved his coffee drink. Service was very quick and friendly. Bathrooms were clean. What More could you ask for? Would definitely come again

    Farm Hash
    Krista P.

    I was very pleased with the selection on the menu. There were many options to choose from and they had exactly what I was hoping for that morning. An amazing hash!! The potatoes were crispy and so nicely seasoned. The sunny side up eggs were great and the avocado was fresh and firm. Also, if you like fresh juice the Morning Glory is fantastic! The staff was pleasant and the host walked right up to us to greet us with a smile. The decor is unique and it was a bright venue.

    If this has eggs, mushrooms pico de gallo, spinach, lots of cheese
    Mary L.

    Playing some relaxing music. The restaurant is clean, not overly crowded and I got seated right away.. having a power wrap, only 25 minutes to put together. And it tastes delicious with a side of fruit. Always great service and yummy food.

    Morning Meditation
    Victoria M.

    It was my first time trying this great restaurant out! I was invited to go to breakfast with a friend, and I didn't know what to expect!! It's in a great location, awesome set up, nice modern vibe, the hostess and all the staff were amazing!! Everything looked so great and fresh on the menu! They accommodate allergies and make changes with no questions! I went with the Morning meditation fresh juice that has such an amazing different flavor! It was beautiful to look at and I think I'll have to go get one of those at least once a week.. it's my new favorite drink!!! The omelets are amazing, super fresh and flavorful!! Can't go wrong if you want a gray breakfast and great drinks 10/10 for sure!

    The carne asada hash bocada omelet

    Actually the best breakfast I have had in awhile. Cute atmosphere waiter was excellent good prices I will definitely be back

    Coffee, cocoa, and a husband. Yum!

    Do they serve mimosas?

    They do not. Although, FW has some pretty exceptional non-alcoholic juice concoctions and tonics.

    Really one of the best coffee places out here!…read more Excellent variety of drinks and super nice people working here! Fast friendly and great coffee drinks! I am a fan!

    This is basically my Starbucks replacement. It's not the best coffee in the world, but for what you…read morepay it's pretty damn tasty. They are extremely generous with the size of their drinks. I think I pay like $7 for a gigantic coffee that usually lasts me two days. They also have some baked snacks like muffins and cookies that are usually good. I really liked the snickerdoodles last month! The highlights here are the service, speed, and variety. And on that note, I think it's cool that they do a month-by-month cycle of new drinks to keep things interesting. I have not had a single month where none of the specialty drinks appeal to me, there's always at least something - which is intentional, as they usually do one energy drink, one cold brew, and one latte. I also feel like the staff read your vibe and go off of that which I appreciate, because if I just woke up and I'm like barely on the plane of existence, I do not want that Dutch Bros level of energy to knock me out of my car seat. I will advise anyone looking to get matcha to probably stray away from that if you're expecting a more traditional, earthy taste, but generally if you're not going to a place that specializes in matcha you're making a mistake on your end. I go here on on average once every 2-3 days and I will continue to do so because of the location and convenience. Make sure to check their Instagram if you want to know what the monthly specials are ahead of time!
