Very unique menu for Sunday brunch. Waited 30 min to be seated even after securing online wait list. But the food made up for it. I had the Elevated Egg, a sandwich with egg, bacon, avocado, and lettuce. Also ordered the cheese grits as a side. All very tasty! Coffee was good, too. I love the bottomless pot of coffee read more

The food here can be described as trendy yet classic. They always have fun stuff on their menu, like avocado toast, but still carry the classics like delightful pancakes and eggs. I really love getting their juices, though they can be expensive. We love coming here to try new fun things even though it is typically pricier than going most other for breakfast read more

We had an excellent time today. Went here for breakfast (around 10:30am) and had mixed feelings because getting into the parking lot is (in itself) an achievement. After waiting the promised-as-delivered, 20 minute time, we were seated and were greeted with a welcome carafe of hot coffee and pitcher of fresh water. What struck me about the seating is that the tables are a comfortable distance away from adjoining tables. These days restaurateurs are keen on placing as many tables in the closest proximity possible. Not so here. You'll have plenty or private space and elbow room! The food was fresh and creatively presented. With an emphasis on health eating. Many dishes this visit (optional) contained Kale and Quinoa, I had a wonderful omelet titled the 'Acapulco Express'. It has chorizo, green chilies, cheeses and avocado, served with sides of potatoes and muffin (or salad greens) and delicious house-made salsa. Great tasting and filling! My wife had 'The Works' omelet which was as the title says. The Omelets were thin--like crepes--but clearly egg, delicious, and very well made. All told, the food is a very good value. It's honest and substantial. They serve lunch also but I can't comment on that. However salads are a substitution option on every item for those who prefer greens instead of starch. A very good "family" oriented place (kids very welcome) and WELL worth the delay in being seated. The staff cleaning this table turnover machine do a very good job of cleaning and sanitizing each table before the next party is seated. We'll be back! read more

Nothing bad on the menu here at all. I especially love their coffee. Excellent healthy options on the menu. Very relaxed atmosphere, very friendly staff. Highly recommend read more

First Watch is my favorite breakfast spot in the area! The manager knows my name and always asks about how I'm doing, and every server I've had has been polite and punctual. The only reason I'm giving this four stars is the price for the portion of food, it's a bit high. But other than that, a great, clean breakfast restaurant with good birthday rewards. read more

Amazing service! Staff was very friendly, the food was good and the vibe was soo cute. Its a cute meeting spot for work they have alot of healthy options. They have mimisas too! I recommend trying it out! read more

Who would have thought I'd put down my Cherry Coke or coffee for a Kale tonic?! Waltzed in solo and the community table was suggested. I don't mind sharing some table space, figured a little friendly chit chat on a Friday morning can't hurt. My server was bubbly and chatty, I inquired about the taste of the juices (if I taste a veggie, I'm gagging), and was offered a sample... 1st sip about blew me out of my flip flops! Taste buds had no idea what this organic stuff was, 2nd was pleasantly surprising, tasting like fruit with a hint of you're trying to trick me but I don't care. Bacon + potatoes, great. I typically like to visit at least twice before rating but everyone working and dining seem genuinely happy, which is refreshing. Pricey and you'll be waiting for seats, but leave pleased. read more

I always enjoy the Food and Atmosphere when I come here. The flavor along with the freshness of the food is consistent! Staff is awesome (Tyler ) read more

First Watch - Avocado Toast... - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Olathe, Kansas

Lovely modern little brunch place. Super cute, good service, and really good food. The staff is well knowledgeable on the menu (which puts special-diet-people like me at ease), and the menu provided a ton of options! Love that gluten free bread is available to substitute for no extra charge. Can't find that anywhere else! Will be back! read more

I'm not a huge fan of chain restaurants in general, but First Watch always is a hit! I ordered the AM superfoods bowl and it was so good! Chia pudding with fruit and granola, along with toast with almond butter. Perfect combo! read more

Excellent breakfast. If you get a chance, go. Just know that it's a popular spot, so plan accordingly.

We ordered the Florentine eggs Benedict and the avocado toast. The eggs Benedict was okay-I've definitely had better hollandaise sauce, but the eggs were cooked to perfection. The avocado toast was super yummy though! read more

This is my favorite location to come to. The space is always clean and the atmosphere is great,The staff are friendly and attentive. I absolutely LOVE the kale tonic juice! It's kale, Fuji apple, cucumber and lemon, I'm always hesitant to try juices because they usually have a bitter taste,but this juice is so refreshing and naturally sweet! I ordered the avocado toast and it comes with two cage free eggs. I prefer my eggs to be sunny side up! I also ordered additional sides of turkey sausage and a side of their potatoes because they have the best potatoes! Everything came out in a timely manner, and tasted very good! This was my first time trying the avocado toast and I would highly recommend it. The toast is thick cut with a generous amount of avocado spread atop. My husband really enjoys their hash skillets, he ordered the Parma skillet which comes with egg, sun dried tomatoes, onion ,mushrooms,potatoes and he substituted the pork sausage for turkey sausage. His plate also came with a small side of fruit and a English muffin. Nothing disappointed, we were very satisfied with our the turnout! read more

My new favorite breakfast restaurant. Food is absolutely delicious! Restaurant is well taken care of and clean. Highly recommend the waffles and French toast. read more

We always have a good experience at First Watch in Olathe. The servers are friendly and efficient. The food is always delicious. read more

Everytime I visit this First Watch location I have a good experience. It seems the waiting staff has been around for a while and I assume the kitchen staff may be seasoned as well. Their open face chicken salad melt is fantastic. I usually substitute the side of potatoes for a green salad because when I have had the potatoes then seem on the salty end. read more

Its been awhile since ive been to this place. I used to hate it. Where i grew up we had top notch breakfast joints all over the town. Since moving on no other city ive found yet has great or even good quality breakfast grub. All that said, the remodel which happened here sometime in the last 3 years looks a lot better than it used to. It was always busy despite this seating was easy. My food took a little longer than i would have liked. The Floridian french toast was decent. The kiwi on it however was days away from being ripe and was so damn sour it easily put my teeth on edge. The berry compote was good. Got a blueberry pancake for the kid, not bad. The only reason I have to give this place 4 stars is because KC lacks quality breakfast spots imo. read more

Been here many times. I'd give it 5 stars if I wasn't stingy with giving them out now. Everything here is great tasting, amazing service, clean and usually fast and busy. The prices are also fair, but Ginger Sues nearby has better prices. read more

Pretty standard breakfast/brunch place. I love that they have juices there (and most of them are delicious!). I wish they opened earlier (7 AM is a bit late for me). Service is usually decent and food delivered prompt to your table! read more

I took my 4yrs old granddaughter here for breakfast. She enjoyed her huge chocolate chip pancake. It basically the same size as us adults would receive. Staff are very friendly. It didn't take us long to be seated and food was delicious. I give this 5 stars since I loved this place. If you happen to be in the area and hungry try this place out. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy I hope this is helpful. read more

Our very favorite breakfast place with many wonderful items to choose. We love the seasonal menu.

Wow, not sure where to begin. I've always liked first watch, but this location was just not good. This review is purely for the food, not the service. But ultimately you go to a restaurant to eat, not for the service. We were sat right away on a Saturday morning, even though the place was packed. Our waitress came and got our drink order, which was coffee. She immediately returned with a coffee pot that was half full that she had grabbed off of another table. Hmm, ok. Not sure if this is a regular practice or not, but I thought it was strange. We then ordered. I got the regular eggs Benedict and my husband ordered just the regular breakfast with eggs, bacon and potatoes. He also asked for a half order of biscuits and gravy. When our food arrived I noticed that the hollandaise sauce looked pretty runny. When I cut into my breakfast and took a bite it tasted like nothing. Literally it tasted like water. I took a bite of the ham and it had an odd taste. I tried salting and peppering it, but that didn't help. I pushed it aside and my husband offered his biscuits and gravy. Took a bite of it and it too had zero flavor. My husband's breakfast tasted fine and the potatoes were really good. When our waitress returned she saw my plate pushed to the side. She asked if I wanted to box it up and I said no thank you. I told her it wasn't edible. She said ok I will take it off your bill. That was that. I told a couple friends about our experience and one agreed with me that their sauces were watery and lacked flavor. The other friend was completely shocked that our meal wasn't good. So not sure if it's a regular occurrence or an off day. I will let you decide. read more

Amazing smoked salmon and cucumber toast with poached eggs may be the new crack cocaine of breakfast. The iced coffee even better.

This place has a great reputation and for good reason, it was incredible. Large and unique menu selection of homemade or should I say handcrafted breakfast options. Our orders were yogurt with fruit, turkey eggs Benedict , omelet with Avocado and cheese. They were all delicious. The coffee was amazing. read more

I give this place a chance twice for eggs Benedict. Not anywhere close to Good Eggs Benedict. If you wanted eggs over easy on top of a bun that's what you get... They don't seem to understand how long to cook the eggs benedict. Not to mention you can only get potatoes no hash browns and no other options for breakfast side with the eggs benedict. read more

This place is the epitome of "Meh, I've experienced better." Maybe Bluebird and Bristol spoiled my view of what a real brunch should be like. Maybe I'm just mad because last time I went the waitress told me I couldn't have a pancake instead of an English muffin, even when I volunteered to pay an upcharge. Regardless, I'm just not that impressed with First Watch. The food = not bad. The service = not bad. The coffee = not bad. But nothing really stands out to me - except the fact that every time I go here, I come home with (spoiler alert!) diarrhea, and I'm always hungry an hour later. If that's not two-star worthy, I don't know what is. read more

I'll start off with a disclaimer: I'm not a breakfast type of person. I don't wake up hungry and if I eat too soon after waking, it makes me queasy. I like to stick with liquid sustenance in the a.m. BUT. I am a biscuits and gravy aficionado and will venture out for a delicious plate of them for an occasional brunch. There are several joints in Kansas City that I will happily drag my ass to on a weekend morning to stuff my gullet and First Watch is not usually at the top of the list. I had a business meeting this morning, though, and my brunch buddy picked First Watch. Sigh. Besides the fact that I had to motor down to SOJOCO from downtown, I couldn't even look forward to a tasty brunch at Chubby's or Bluebird. Boo! The good: We only had to wait about 10 minutes which is much better than the 45-1hr wait you typically get at the College Blvd. location. Service was friendly and prompt. Food came out timely, hot and fresh. I like that you get an entire pitcher of water on your table so you don't have to rely on your waiter to fill up your glass. My fruit & yogurt crepe was ok...nothing spectacular. There's just nothing on this menu that excites me. The bad: I'm now sitting here in a dark cloud of regret like a hungover sorority girl after a drunken night at the fraternity house doing jaegerbombs and keg stands. read more

So good, every time! The BLT Eggs Benedict is amazing! Their honoring of the Yelp app is great when you want a schedule a time to meet and eat! Thank you! read more

Awesome menu, great vibe and ambience, damn good coffee, and friendly service! Found this place on yelp, I'm certain I'll be back before my trip to this town ends, can't wait to try the Barbacoa hash and eggs! The fresh juice is wicked good too btw! read more

We stayed in Olathe this past weekend and found First Watch on Yelp. We liked it. Service was attentive. Coffee was strong. Food was pretty good. We tried the Chickichanga and Sonoran Fritatta. I have to say the chickichanga was by far the best. At first I was turned off by the name, sounds weird. But I was so wrong. It is so delicious and flavorful, the santa fe sauce is killer. It is an amazing blend of avocado, spicy chicken and green chilies, the chorizo is undetectable. But it doesn't matter the rest is so good. The Sonoran Fritatta is an open-face omelette, which doesn't make it a fritatta. Even though the description says its made with whipped eggs, it wasn't light and fluffy. The chorizo was a bit bland and so was the fritatta itself. It was ok, just not as good as the chickichanga. If we lived in the area I would definitely go back and try something else. The place is clean, first came out quick, you can tell they know what they're doing. read more

Get stuck coming here for morning meetings and I'm never super excited about it. What really gets me is I can't stand their coffee. It's too acidic for my liking. I've contemplated bringing my own because if I'm gonna be stuck there in a meeting for an hour+, I want a good cup o'joe. Food wise they do have a large menu with pancakes, crepes, omelets, waffles, and even a decent "healthy section". I usually stick to their oatmeal with fresh fruit or their Tri Athlete Omelet as I'm not a huge fan of sweet and heavy breakfast items. But my co workers love the pancakes and waffles. Yes they have a lunch menu too, but I'm not familiar with it and have never had lunch here. I agree with some others that the service has a lot of room for improvement. Yes this place is very busy, but there's plenty of servers and somehow you still have to flag them down to take your order and refill your drinks. They seem to be friendly if they know you, but otherwise their lack of attention almost seems rude. I know some people rave about this place, but it just doesn't do it for me and it's not my first choice for morning meetings. read more

"Ain't no complaints" low key it smacked, had to wait a fat minute to sit down tho, hella ppl tryna eat this stuff as well. It was low key fye though read more

Came here with a friend for lunch and had a wonderful experience!!! We were seated after a short wait, but that was only because the restaurant was busy (I can see why!) I ordered a turkey burger and they dealt with my food allergies and gave me exactly what I needed! Food came out quickly and the service was fantastic! 10/10 would go again! read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Olathe, Kansas

I've never been all that thrilled with First Watch. It is not that First Watch was bad; rather, it wasn't anything spectacular. That's what I always thought. Recently, I have begun to change my thoughts a bit. I live right by this First Watch, and went in on a Saturday morning, around 9:15am, to have breakfast with a couple friends. The wait was, surprisingly, only 15 minutes, and sure enough we were at the table around 9:30am. Our server was incredibly friendly and quite attentive. She brought us a pitcher of water, which is much preferred to individual glasses that may frequently go dry. It seems this is the norm, which I like and wish more places did. Food came out very quickly, despite the fact that the place was packed. I kept it simple - two massive blueberry pancakes, and a side of bacon. This all added up, with tax, to $8.56...and I was stuffed for a good chunk of the day. The pancakes were delicious with plenty of blueberries. The bacon was plentiful (4 or 5 strips), and was not very crispy, which I appreciate. I feel like crispy bacon has no flavor, so the fact that this bacon was on the softer side meant all of the flavor came through. My friends both had omelets which were sizeable and filled with many ingredients. Both commented on how tasty they were, but I do not specifically remember what was in them. The biggest negative is the waiting area. In the summer or when it's warmer, no problem, because it can spill out on the big sidewalk area. During the winter, however, it gets incredibly cramped inside the front door. read more

Visiting family and we came here to eat. Excellent service and food. A wide variety to choose from. They accommodate gluten free and vegetarian/vegans needs read more

We didn't have to wait too long for a table, we got there around 9:30 on a Sunday. Our food was really good and I liked that they left you a pitcher of water on the table. I had a pecan pancake, which was delicious. The only thing I didn't like was that our waitress dropped off our ticket, "no rush", right after I had taken just my 3rd or 4th bite. Since I am a former waitress, that is just a point of annoyance for me. Otherwise, it was a good and I'm sure we'll be back. read more

It's not too bad if The Shack is closed on Easter. The food is solid and the service is good!
