Avocado Toast
Paula C.

Our flight landed in Miami early in the morning, long before we could board our cruise, so we wandered out in search of a nearby spot for breakfast. This restaurant ended up being such a pleasant surprise. They welcomed us in--luggage and all--and even set aside a little area where we could store everything while still keeping it in sight. Our server was wonderful. She gave us great recommendations, and even as the restaurant filled up quickly and she was running around taking care of everyone, she continued checking in on us. It wasn't until the end, when she mentioned their warm, delicious donut holes (which I devoured before remembering to take a photo!), that I realized she was pregnant. She laughed about how hard it was for her to resist them, which made the whole moment even sweeter. We ended up sitting there for almost two hours--charging our phones, relaxing, and never once feeling rushed or like we were taking up space. The place was cute, cozy, and exactly the warm welcome we needed before starting our vacation.

The food here is really good. No matter what location you got to. I will say they have yellow grits at this location not the white one, so just be aware. This location has a pretty long wait time especially if you come during peak times. All and all I do recommend. Will be back since this is my closest First Watch.

Bacado® Omelet

This was disgusting. I first noticed the avocados were extremely brown so I was cutting through the omelette and then once I got to the end, I realized the omelette was extremely undercooked. At first I thought the egg white was cheese and then I realized it was just not cooked. Really disgusting like how do you let this come out like this.

We loved First Watch on 57th ave! It was our first time ever trying this brunch place and it did not disappoint. Parking on the weekend is kind of tough since everyone comes here to eat, and wait times on Sundays are usually long because the church is right next door. But aside for this the experience, staff and food was 10/10! I appreciated that you could join the waitlist online, so make sure to take advantage of that. We got their limited time million dollar bacon and wow it was SO good! I got the Trifecta and substitued the waffle for french toast. My boyfriend got the same with the pancake and it was massive. The drinks were also delish! I got their Lavander Haze and my boyfriend got their limited edition Mocha Mint coffe and it was WOW! Overall.m I definitely recommend trying this place out if you havent already and especially this location as the staff was super nice and the restaurant was clean as well!

I've been here a few times and it's always packed & the staff is super sweet and the food is surprisingly creative and consistently good! Think of it as a more elevated Denny's with laidback coastal California, farm-to-table vibes. Love their seasonal juices & french toast. Cute decor, great energy, and solid food every time. Definitely coming back!

Love my neighborhood First Watch, always get service with a smile (shoutout to Joanna on this particular visit). They have so many options to choose from whether you are looking for a healthy option or just want some really delish pancakes there's something on the menu for you. And let's not forget their seasonal items. If you are near the MIA area give them a try for breakfast or lunch

This is a very nice breakfast spot to visit People are friendly, the food is good Recently visited with my Grandkids and they loved it Would recommend this to anyone

Angels M.

Had an amazing breakfast experience this morning! New items on the menu to try however came back for my favorite - my morning meditation drink for starters! All the mixing in between and taking home pumpkin spice donuts for a snack later. The manager was walking around greeting everyone and asking about our time, food and service, which all was wonderful. Stop by and see Mr. Ebenson and his crew, they are working for your pleasure up in here!

This is for the location in the Blue Lagoon area. I first tried First Watch in St. Petersburg and was so impressed by it and had been longing to go again. So when I saw that there is one close to me l was super happy to go! Everything I have ever tried at FW has been phenomenal! I love that it's a healthy joint but has so much flavor and deliciousness that you feel soooo satisfied while eating there. The aesthetics of this place is cute, clean, modern and fun! The service was really nice and on point! Now for the food, we tried a blueberry and carrot pancakes. The blueberry was my favorite! I must be honest, I didn't feel there was enough carrot flavor in the carrot cake pancake but it was still good! But if I had to order pancakes again, l'd probably go for the blueberries or try a new flavor! The syrup was so warm and thick! I loved it!! The drinks are amazing! We've tried the Purple Haze, Morning meditation and the one with beats in it which the name escapes me right now... I wish they would stay open a little past 2:30 on the weekends!

Potato's and in the middle is a piece of hair
Jonathan L.

The food in this place is pretty good. The only down side of it was I found a hair in my breakfast that I could not enjoy that food and unfortunately had lost my appetite and sadly had to throw it away. It was sad because I have eaten here before a few time here and there but sadly did not get yo enjoy it this time.

The wait is forever but the food is delicious. The pumpkin pancakes were my favorite.

Serve Bottomless Mimosas?

Nope! No alcohol! Just Brunch and Breakfast food.

Will you be having gluten free options?

First watch is actually pretty good about gluten free options. If you get an omelet, you get greens or potatoes, and there is gluten free toast as an option. You can't have the chickichanga, but I really enjoy the omelets with the side of greens.…

This place was the absolute cutest. We stopped in for cafe con leche after having dinner nearby and…read moreI'm so glad we did! The cafe con leche was a little steep at $6.50 each but i think the experience was worth it. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and directed over to the register to ordered our coffee. While we waited for our coffee to be prepared we took in all the cutie decor. It felt like i was in an immersive museum and the cafe con leche itself was absolutely delicious only one regret is that it wasn't any bigger for as much as it cost. I saw they had food on the menu as well and would like try it next time I'm in the area.

My husband and I have visited twice now--on two separate trips--and it was just as good both times…read more We both ordered the iced Tres Leches coffee on each visit, and it's easily our favorite. I especially loved adding the vanilla wafer cookie to my coffee. We tried both the chicken and beef empanadas. Both were good, but we both agreed the beef empanadas were the standout. The flan was also delicious and definitely worth ordering. The staff were friendly and welcoming each time we visited. One thing I'd note for first-time visitors is that it seems easiest to order at the register, especially when things get busy and there's a lot going on. Great coffee, great food, and a place we'll continue coming back to whenever we're in Miami.

Spectacular Food, Beautiful Ambiance, but a Disappointing Ending That Management Should Address…read more La Vie Belle, located inside the Iberostar Hotel in Miami Beach, is a restaurant I genuinely wanted to give five stars. The food was absolutely spectacular, the ambiance was beautiful, and the coffee was exceptional. Unfortunately, one server's handling of our bill turned an otherwise wonderful experience into a disappointing one. First, I want to give the kitchen the recognition it deserves. We ordered the Pistachio French Toast, Belle Eggs Tartine with scrambled eggs, Smoked Salmon Benedict, fresh orange juice, cappuccino, and latte. Every single item was delicious. The flavors, quality, and preparation were outstanding. The coffee was particularly impressive, and the entire meal exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere was just as lovely. La Vie Belle has a charming, inviting ambiance that makes you want to linger over breakfast and enjoy the experience. The restaurant clearly has tremendous potential, and the culinary team is doing an exceptional job. Unfortunately, the service was nowhere near the same standard. Our server, Martina, provided what I would describe as mediocre service. The water glasses were unusually small, and getting them refilled was a challenge. While these details may seem minor, attentive service is part of what separates a good restaurant from a truly exceptional one. But what happened when we received our bill was far more troubling. Before paying, I specifically asked Martina whether the tip was included. She told me it was not. Trusting her answer, I left a very generous additional tip, even though the service itself had not warranted one. Only afterward, when I reviewed the receipt more carefully, did I discover that a service charge of 20% had already been added to our bill. I understand that a service charge is not necessarily the same as a gratuity. However, when a customer explicitly asks whether the tip is included, a server has a responsibility to clearly explain any service charge already appearing on the check. Unfortunately, that did not happen. Whether this was intentional or simply a failure to communicate, the result was the same: I was misled into leaving an additional generous tip without being made aware of a substantial service charge already included. And that is what I find most disappointing. To the management of La Vie Belle: You have a beautiful restaurant, an excellent kitchen, wonderful coffee, and an atmosphere that deserves recognition. It is genuinely unfortunate that all of those positives can be overshadowed by something as preventable as a lack of transparency at the end of a meal. Your chefs clearly take pride in their work. Your guests deserve that same level of professionalism and integrity from the people representing your restaurant on the dining room floor. I sincerely hope management reviews this experience, addresses what happened with Martina, and ensures that every guest receives clear and accurate information regarding service charges and gratuities. Would I recommend La Vie Belle? Absolutely, for the food alone. Would I want Martina as my server again? Absolutely not. I would love to return because the cuisine truly deserves another visit. But I would certainly request a different server and carefully review the bill before leaving any additional gratuity. Great food brings people through the door. Great service brings them back. Trust is what makes them loyal. La Vie Belle has already mastered the first. I hope management takes the necessary steps to ensure the other two are never compromised. What should have been a glowing five-star review is instead a reminder that even the most wonderful dining experience can be diminished by one disappointing interaction. The food was unforgettable. Unfortunately, so was the experience with our server.

The gelato was smooth, creamy, and elegantly presented in a heart shape, making it feel more like an experience than just a dessert. It was lightly sweet, refined, and beautifully balanced. The coffee latte was also well-made, smooth and rich, and the printed CD logo on top made it feel extra special and photogenic. Service was attentive, polished, and aligned with the luxury feel of the café. The vibe is very upscale and chic, with a stylish, fashion-forward atmosphere that feels more like stepping into a designer experience than a typical café. Everything is visually stunning and thoughtfully designed, making it perfect for photos and a special treat. Overall, a unique and luxurious café stop in Miami.

The entrance is through the Dior store, up the stairs to the second floor and catch the elevator to the rooftop. It's exceptionally small but a beautifully decorated space surrounded by lush green foliage. It felt like a bit of an escape on the rooftop high in the skies. The menu would be best described ar "fancy" things on the menu. Everything from a $20 latte to $77 Lobster Ravioli. Four of us were seated in the corner at the sofa lounge arrangement. The vibe was begging for a bottle of bubbly and one of their charcuterie dishes. My photos speak for themselves. The charcuterie on the English transferware floral chinoiserie pattern plates is about as fancy as it gets. We enjoyed a bottle of bubbles to go with. The bread is soooo good also. They gave us extra. We had exceptional service also. Our girl was super attentive and cheerful. She really added to the experience. It's definitely a cool cafe experience that comes at a price. If someone wanted to return, I'd gladly. The outdoor wonderland scene was most calming, and I loved to see others dressed up!
