spice time
Pamela B.

Came here for breakfast with my mini me. Seated promptly and our server Ivan was amazing. We shared the pumpkin spice donuts and they were so tasty. I had a breakfast bowl and it was delish. My daughter had the sunrise granola bowl and other than sour strawberries she loved it. Best part I had a BOGO entree. Definitely will be back here!!!

Love this place!! Came today with 2 friends and hubby. We ordered two eggs benedicts with salmon, a BEC and a blueberry lemon cornbread. My best friend and I shared the B.E.C. It was enough. My husband said his eggs were undercooked because even the whites were falling apart. Apart from that we all enjoyed our food and the guys said the coffee was good. I got a coupon for buy one entree, get one free for my birthday. My friend's hubby was so surprised about that since he treated. Love this place! Our waitress was phenomenal too! She had long dark hair and glasses! Friendly and easy going but extremely efficient and helpful.

Holiday menu with brunch cocktails that they refuse to serve you before 1:00 yet they give you this menu
Lina F.

Not sure why I continue to try this place. There are plenty of breakfast places opening up in the area and these people are beyond difficult. The hostess gives you an attitude if you ask for a booth she literally asked us if we needed a booth, excuse, we want a booth and that's it. The food is very good, but the service and atmosphere are really downgrading very quickly. They constantly have especially on weekends a huge line out the door a huge wait yet there's always and I mean always, no exaggeration here, empty tables available, yet they won't seat you they make you stand outside and wait. And then they hand you this holiday menu when you come in that shows all these brunch cocktails but they refuse to serve you a cocktail until 1 PM Fine if that's your rule, but then why give somebody a menu that shows all these cocktails if I can't have them. And this is the only first watch that does this. I don't know how this place is going to remain in business.

Omelette

Enjoyed lunch at First Watch recently. The ambiance is nice, upscale modern diner vibe. I was surprised that the restaurant was filled to capacity on a Tuesday. The service was ok, our waiter seemed to have his mind elsewhere and a different order was delivered to me. It had similar components to what I had initially ordered, but something was off, I then realized it was that I was missing items that were supposed to be coming with my order. Waited a little for the mistake to be remedied. The food was good, but this visit there was nothing to write home about honestly. Other visits at different locations have been better.

Lemon ricotta pancake

Excellent food and service at First Watch in Pinecrest. The fam had been wanting to visit together for brunch and I can see why! The portions, flavors, and mix of healthy/fun options did not disappoint. I especially liked the Avo toast and the Market hash. The French toast and lemon ricotta pancake were delicious too. I'd skip the salmon Benedict though. Too much sauce and not enough flavor. We had a great time and will definitely be back next time we are in Miami.

3.7 out of 5 is my review. I was shocked at how packed it was at 10:30am, and that didn't stop us from getting seated within 10 minutes. The ambiance was nice and the food was good, but I expected more based on the hype and the photos. The service was a solid 5. The hostess, from Venezuela (not that this matters but in case they want to know who it is to give credit to) was great! She gave a warm welcome and was professional, energetic and kind. Eric, walked us over to our table and Victor, was our server. The staff was attentive to our needs and made the experience one that will result in me returning. The bathrooms were clean so that's a bonus! The food was where I thought it could've been better. The biscuit and gravy was better than I anticipated but also smaller too. The eggs were supposed to be scrambled soft, but they came out hard. They replaced them quickly to another format and they were much better. The potatoes could've been cooked more. The waffle was meh. It was floppy and there was no crunch at all. It tasted good, but definitely needed to be closer to advertised and bigger for $12. The watermelon and lime juice is supposed to be fresh, but it came with a sugar rim and it had added sugar (which defeats what's advertised). There should be no sugar rim or at least that should've been mentioned. The pancake was good and so was the omelette for my guests. We would go back but hoping to seeing improvements made. Definitely a spot for everyone and the staff and their morale helps make it what it is. Check them out and enjoy!

Pancakes!!

For the last couple of years I have noticed several locations of First Watch popping up all over Miami, and being impressed with long lines forming outside. This past weekend our curiosity hit a fever pitch and we decided to give it a try. The basic premise of First Watch its a more polished and trendier version of Denny's or IHop, the only difference is their hour of operations is really taking breakfast-brunch serious because they closed by 2pm daily. So for our meal we came hungry and ready to sample from their vast menu. For starters we ordered their chicken breakfast soft tacos, which came with tender grilled chicken, scrambled eggs, pico del gallo, and topped with sliced avocados. Very impressed with the taste and quality of all ingredients and the side of seasoned potatoes were also perfect. For our main dish we all ordered something different to try, my wife ordered their avocado toast with sunny side up, I ordered their limited time breakfast sandwich (BEC) with cheese grits, our kids ordered pancakes with bacon and the ham and Gruyère melt sandwich. The avocado toast was one of the best I had in a while very creamy with clear chunks of avocado very tangy with the right amount of salt. The BEC was a breakfast sandwich on steroids it included freshest folded eggs, bacon, cheese, arugula lettuce, their house aioli sauce on a toasted sourdough bread with a great crunch. The BEC as well as the ham and Gruyère sandwiches delivered on both bold flavors and texture. The pancakes were also delicious and were not over cooked giving it the right fluffy texture and it went well with the house syrup. My wife also ordered a yogurt parfait with a peanut butter toast very fresh and clean dish. Like I mentioned prior most of the sides consisted of breakfast potatoes and the cheesy grits which both sides hit the spot. Even though we were stuffed we made room for their donut holes , the donuts were very dense but moist interior and it went well with the dipping sauces. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the service were very attentive, we can't wait to make a return.

This was my first time having the Salmon Benedict and oh my gosh. Amazing! I got full easily so I'm happy to take the rest home. Service was great too! Thank you Elizabeth! Also the aesthetic is awesome.

Rosy F.

Great food and great service. Good idea to check in prior to arrival, as it will decrease wait time to get a table. Good seasonal menu as well as regular menu.

Pecan salad and Croque monsieur...
Willian B.

The food felt super fresh, I loved the recommendation of the waitress Aileen! Very good attitude, the truth is that I would recommend it a lot. Thank you Aileen

Kids menu

Just what the Falls area needed. Great variety of food for brunch. Highly encourage you place yourself on the waitlist online. For Sunday we place ourselves an hour and a half before our intended time. The restaurant has a nice and casual vibe. There is a small outdoor area. It was kid friendly for our 6 & 7 year old. We did have to wait a while with the kids once seated for the food so I recommend you come with patience.

Frittata, cheesy grits, side of sausage

I got it with no peppers and added turkey bacon, the sauces provided pair well with the juiciness of the flavors. They've also expanded their matcha & they had a new one that contained dates & protein in it. I forgot the name but that was delicious and filling. I was in between their fresh juices but i ended up ordering the chai latte instead & i added espresso to it--super tasty. My friend got the strawberry matcha & it was also to die for. There's really nothing negative to state, the people in my party ordered the dulce de leche French toast & the bacon cheeseburger so we all got to try a variety of things. I never have room for dessert or pastries but i wanna check it out next time. If you can find parallel parking nearby, please do so bc the parking garage's flat rate is about $20 or more.

My friends had the Guava & Cheese Danish and the Salmon Eggs Benedict, and everyone seemed to enjoy their food. I would give 3 stars for the food and the nice outdoor seating. It had just rained, so sitting outside was actually really pleasant--not too hot or humid. The other 2 stars I'm taking off are for the service. The servers never really smiled and seemed like they didn't want to be there. We honestly felt like we were bothering them whenever we asked for something. Maybe they were just having an off day, but a little friendliness would have made a big difference. The food was good and the place itself was nice. I just wish the servers were a little more welcoming and pleasant.

When we walked into the restaurant, I immediately recognized how cute everything was. There's a lot of pink and girly colors. I wanted one of everything on the menu but instead settled for oreo pancakes, breakfast tacos, and La Gringa burger. There was not one item that disappointed me even a little bit. My first bite was of the Oreo pancakes and Oh.My.Gosh. I couldn't even believe that was happening that I was eating the most amazing pancake in the world. The pancakes were super fluffy and somehow tasted like there was butter throughout the cake itself. It did not need any syrup. The Oreo flavor was bursting throughout the pancake. The whipped cream was homemade. To die for. Then there were the breakfast tacos which were delicious having eggs and chorizo out of a pancake, are you kidding me? The chipotle sauce was awesome. Unfortunately, I could not get to the fries but the burger was amazing too. The bacon was super crispy and the meat was tender and the bun was soft but a little crispy around the edges.
