    More of a 3.5 - they weren't bad, but they weren't like any other First Watch I've been to. I think because I normally love First Watch, I already had elevated hopes. It's possible they were very busy so the food may have lacked, but the pancake was dry and the potatoes weren't particularly seasoned. I don't usually reach for the salt and pepper, but I did that day. I'm typically feral for some lox benedicts too, but I didn't like mine. The lox itself was good, the eggs were made well, but I didn't like the ciabatta underneath. It was chewy and it's flavor didn't go great with the other ingredients. Where I will give this First Watch some points is in their service. Regardless of being massively busy, the staff kept it business. The ladies at the front did really great staying organized and getting the customers seated (even the ones that didn't check their phones to know their tables were ready). Our server took a minute to get to us, but once she did, she didn't skip a beat. And there were several tables with babies that were making an absolute destructive mess (and I mean, it was MESSY) and the staff kept moving and got the tables turned over for new patrons to come sit. The staff really made this restaurant, and I think they deserve credit for that. If you're around, I'd say still stop in, just be mindful of busy times.

    I'm very picky when it comes to my Hispanic food, but this meal was great! The place was packed, but we got seated quickly and the ladies working there were so sweet and attentive. I wish the place was a little bigger, but it's very nicely decorated and has great natural lighting. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

    I think that First Watch is a great place if you've never been and you have dietary restrictions. The food has always been, in my opinion, very okay and the people are always great. Vibe is always nice but the food sometimes isn't exactly what I want. Now, with that said, I 100% say you gotta try for yourself on this. The million dollar bacon is good, I had their chimichanga and the omelette. They were good not great but I think I just don't like enough foods to help give you the real deal holy. I think this type of place is great but it's just not for me

    We got an invite for the friends and family day so they could do test runs on the staff and kitchen.

    I got a change to check out the new First Watch in Ghent Norfolk. Jaden was our waiter for this experience. I love the fact that he was honest and stated that he had not absorb the complete menu but if we had questions he would get us the answers. Like any normal restaurant it was a little noisy but it was fine I didn't have to yell to have a conversation with my sidekick, my broke best friend A.K.A. My daughter. This place is a must stop by and check it out. The grand opening is tomorrow May 18, 2026 @ 7AM Oh and the first 100 people get a cute coffee cup. Don't forget to sign up on the First Watch website so you can get all the perks. This will definitely be a come back spot. The staff are amazingly friendly and very accommodating to your needs. Please swing by and check them out.

    We had the unfortunate encounter of having DJ as our server on Friday. For starters from the jump he walked up to our table with waters and asked if we were ready to order right when we sat down. No introduction, no welcoming attitude whatsoever; When we notified him we were waiting on one more person, he rolled his eyes and walked away, ok? Right when we got our food he never asked how anything was and just dropped off our checks in the middle of us eating our food, mind maybe two minutes after getting our food he proceeded to do this. He messed up my order and never apologized or tried to make it right and his response was to look directly at me and say "oh yeah I never rang that in" uh....alright. I will say, although my order was messed up and the service was terrible, the food was delicious. The hostess up front both were very welcoming and so polite, unlike the server.

Inside is very charming in an older home with a beautiful patio outside to sit with vines growing around, charm and tons of seats inside both tables and bar. It is simplistic in decor but clean and modern. They have upped the menu and have much more food than my last visit. My friend ordered the salad and it was amazing! I was jealous! Tons of savory goodies inside like sweet potatoes and greens. I went with the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and it's like a foot long. Absolutely huge. I couldn't eat it all and ended up taking half home, delicious and wonderful portion. Absolutely big enough to share. Staff super friendly and my oat milk latte was delicious. Def. going to come back again after my last experience!

And I'm really happy I did! I got a peaches and cinnamon iced latte this time and it was like a peach cobbler in a cup with real pieces of peach. They also had a bacon egg and cheese on a baguette, with a perfect omelette, american cheese, and thick crispy bacon very considerately cut into slabs so you aren't pulling out a whole strip every time you take a bite. Every part of that sandwich was perfectly-executed, from the butter-toasted baguette to the soft and fluffy texture of the omelette to the unusual but nicely crunchy addition of lettuce. What a great little place. Looking forward to dragging my wife out here next time :)

I honestly only walked in because I wanted to check the place out and had no real plans to order anything, but I'm glad I did! First, the space itself is really cool. It has a darker, industrial feel with wood accents that fits right in with the Ghent vibe. It's a nice little spot with a lot of character. Makayla was working the counter and was an absolute pleasure. She made some recommendations, and I decided on a lavender matcha with their house-made pistachio milk. Somewhere between us chatting and having a genuinely good conversation, neither of us was paying attention to what she was making and I ended up walking out with an iced lavender pistachio latte with espresso instead of matcha. I took a sip outside and immediately thought, "Wait a minute...this is NOT matcha." I went back in and told Makayla, and she immediately realized what happened, apologized, and remade it correctly. No big deal whatsoever, especially considering I literally stood there and watched her make the first drink and didn't notice either because we were too busy talking! She also offered to let me keep the latte since it would have just been thrown away otherwise, so I ended up getting to try both. And that pistachio milk?! They make it in-house, and it is SO good. It has this really interesting nutty, almost umami flavor that I loved. Both drinks were delicious flavor-wise, although they were definitely much sweeter than I personally prefer. Next time I'll just ask for significantly less sweetener. For these, I'll probably blend them with some ice at home to mellow out the sweetness and turn them into frozen drinks. Overall, this was such a random, serendipitous little stop that turned into a really enjoyable experience. Great atmosphere, delicious drinks, and Makayla was incredibly pleasant, relatable, and fun to talk to. I'll absolutely be back, especially for that pistachio milk!

I ordered a 10 oz drink for $7.99, which honestly feels a bit steep for the size--especially for something you finish in a few minutes. That said, the juice itself was actually very good. Fresh, clean flavors, and it tasted like quality ingredients were used. No complaints at all on the product--just the value. Overall, it's a solid option if you're looking for something healthier than typical airport food, but be prepared to pay airport pricing. Good juice, tough price point.

We were able to use the back room in the cafe that had a large table and provided a cozy setting with lots of natural light coming through the windows and cute macaroon-shaped pillows on the chairs. We had hibiscus tea and peach tea for the table to share. The peach tea was everyone's favorite, it didn't even need any added sugar. It was served in cute pastel teapots, though one of the teapots had a chip at the spout which made me a little nervous. We also had macaroons made in-house for the table. I can't remember if I asked the staff if any of the macaroons were dairy free, but I asked my friends at the table and was told there was dairy in them. I later asked the staff if there was any food they offered that was dairy-free and they showed me their pastry counter but ultimately determined that everything offered had dairy, so all I had while at the café was the tea. The ladies I was with loved the macaroons. I wish I could have had some. I recommend at least 1-2 food options be added in the café for folks who have a dairy allergy. Café Genevieve provides a nice atmosphere for tea with a unique setting -- in a 1734 house that is decked out with Parisian decor. It's not the most private setting -- it got pretty noisy during our time there and there were a few interruptions to our conversation. We should have asked if we could have closed the door, because that definitely would have helped with noise and privacy. Overall, the customer service was great and the tea was really good! If you want to meet here for a private event, conversation, or just want some peace and quiet, that back room with the door closed could provide it. It's a nice café to check out.

I didn't know what to expect because I wasn't sure if it was a bookstore, cafe, or what. I spotted the little cafe section as soon as I walked in. The rest of the store was filled with books, soaps, herbs, and such. I jetted to the counter to see what I can order. The menu is on a chalk board and I quickly ordered the vegan sausage and fried plantains. The guy behind the counter seemed spaced out, I couldn't understand him and he wasn't really customer-servicey (a word I made up) but yet he seemed nice? Yeah it's a mix emotion here..He proceeded to make my order and I noticed he wasn't wearing gloves, matter of fact he wasn't wearing a mask! And as a matter of fact NO ONE wasn't wearing a mask in this place!! I believe this establishment is into the whole herbal, natural healing vibe which I don't knock because it is important but we are still in a pandemic!!! At this point I wanted to cancel my order. But my order is being made so I started looking around the shop and you can see from my pix, the different things they sell. If this is your vibe, this place will work for you but for me it's a nooo. As I am waiting, I was asked if I wanted to stay for a class. I politely declined but in my head I was like "I really just want to go now". Anyways I got my order, and headed to Chick Fil A - Hahahaa!!
