After a Yelp event at another location I had to visit First Watch again. Let's see let me start with little facts know one might know. First Watch serve the restaurant's new Project Sunrise coffee, grown by an independent group of female farmers in Huila, Colombia, called Mujeres en Café. How did this restaurant get its name? Since the majority of the people who visit First Watch are not sailors, pirates or sea-farin' scallywags, well First Watch is a nautical term that refers to the very first shift of the day. It is a Cafe chain for health-minded with breakfast, brunch & lunch options such as omelets, pancakes, salads and soups. The Avocado Toast is my favorite (The Avocado Toast was served with thick-cut whole grain toast topped with fresh smashed avocado and I got 2 eggs over-easy to go with it), followed by the Bistro Steak Hash, and then the Pancakes. First Watch pride themselves with Healthy, flavorful menu items include house-made granola, pico de gallo, organic greens, house-roasted vegetables and cage-free eggs. There are also traditional favorites such as omelets, pancakes, sandwiches, salads and soups.  I love the new design of the interior - very open feel. I highly recommend. I also found out First Watch has an app so you do not have to have a long wait so it's like calling ahead ;) read more

I love breakfast. And they did a great job of making a most delicious meal. I especially enjoyed the pancake. The restaurant decor was inviting. The staff and service was fantastic. Place is popular and busy but we were seated rather quickly. read more

I've been to other locations before. This one has ample parking, quick wait times (even on a busy Saturday morning). Complimentary coffee and lemon water sits at the front door for those who do have to wait for a table. Wait staff was super attentive and nice. Food arrived promptly. Ordered the veggie wrap which came with a side of fruit. I could've subbed it for home fries but I decided to order the home fries in addition to my meal; all of which were delicious. The wrap oozed of cheese and flavor (and I'm not a huge fan of cheese). The home fries were lightly seasoned but perfect for a side. Good sized portions also to mention. The special cinnamon cider they had was pretty flavorful despite the small serving size glass. Prices were very reasonable. All in all, I'd highly recommend for a breakfast/brunch spot. read more

Go to the one on US 19! This location was subpar...but left a bad taste in my mouth (see what I did there). So it was a little busy around 11am...I've seen worse; but it doesn't excuse the following issues: let's start with the dirty water glasses (almost lost my appetite)...Ive had better coffee at 7/eleven, it was bitter and not good...then there was the 32 minute wait for our small breakfast...lastly...above the screaming kids and loud mouth idiot next to us complaining about "there's no steak" in the same steak and bacon burrito that I too was waiting on! Of course when it did come out...over a 1/2 hour later...it was barely warm from sitting at the pass for 15 minutes. So...will we be coming back? Hell No! Like I said...go to the one on US 19...the food is always hot and service is always spot on! read more

Great place for a delish, but unique breakfast dishes. I had their chorizo breakfast burrito, avocado toast, breakfast tacos-not all at once, but it's one of my favorite places for breakfast on Saturday. Tried their Morning Meditation drink-it's refreshing and very healthy. They offer breakfast bowls, and a healthier menu. The staff is friendly and location is convenient with plenty of parking. It's a clean, and modern kind of place. Our waiter Greg was very attentive! The offer coffee while you wait for your table, which is very cool. The prices are descent around $7-9 for breakfast. read more

First Watch opened on Monday and it seems they've been busy since their doors were unlocked. My Beau lives literally around the corner, so we've been waiting with fascination as we watched the eatery being built from the ground up, so when I stayed over the other night and headed home in the morning, I stopped in for breakfast. I was seated immediately. Inside is rustic but lovely, with lots of wood and metal decor. Reminiscent of farmhouse, but not quite. It smells good. Their menu isn't one I was familiar with, lots of whole grain and other things, but I found what I was looking for and ordered their Old Fashioned breakfast with Eggs, bacon and a belgain waffle, and a pot of coffee. The coffee was strong, and the table side creamer had seasonal PUMPKIN SPICE creamer in it as well as my prefered half/half. Breakfast came out in 10 minutes or a little more, the place was busy, after all and it was good. The bacon was well done and crispy, the eggs were as I ordered and the waffle was light and airy, with a side of fruit compote to go on top. I didn't think to ask for maple syrup. Would I eat here again? Yes. read more

Decent place nice ambiance. Clean food, not greasy. Good healthy options on the menu. I'd go again.

Picked a very busy time, midday on a Sunday, and although we were seated within fifteen minutes service was slow to take order and meal took over an hour to be served. We both had eggs Benedict which were done perfectly. The hollandaise could have used a bit more lemon but the eggs were just right. read more

If you want hair in your food- GO HERE!! I am so done. Not once but 3 times getting hair in my food? It is disgusting. Once in a cinnamon stick in my drink I got it was sticking straight out of it and another time in my omelet. Next time got a hair in a sauce I asked for on the side. How does this keep happening. I am so disgusted and never going to this location again. I love first watch but this is ridiculous. read more

This place is a great atmosphere and great food, but the reason why I gave it a 2 is because my family and I wanted to come in for brunch and they almost turned us away, saying they don't accommodate for groups greater than 6. This shocked me because I didn't think restaurants turned people away for being too large. I could understand if the establishment was small, but in a place that has both indoor and outdoor seating, I would think you wouldn't turn people away!!!! They only agreed to accommodate when learning my grandmother was blind. Unbelievable!!!!! read more

I simply love this place. They have a great breakfast menu. Good selections, not a me too menu. read more

Great breakfast food and amazingly friendly service by our waitress, Brianha . It's awesome to know that the food is all freshly made and microwaves are not at all available, so getting warm milk may take a bit longer than other places . If you don't mind a little longer wait for fresh cooked quality food, this is the place to go. Sit back, enjoy authentic Colombian coffee, mimosa or Bloody Mary in this adorable farmhouse style restaurant. read more

Veronica is our waitress and she is such a breath of fresh air. Celebrating my mother's 91st and the menu is absolutely amazing. Very health options with some of the unique combinations you have ever seen. I will take a picture of the menu and share with you. The ambiance is clean and fresh, coffee fresh, hot and better than Starbucks. I ordered the Parma Skillet Hash: 2 cage free eggs on top of seasoned potatoes with Italian sausage, roasted Crimini mushrooms, onions and tomatoes with melted parmesan, mozzarella and fresh herbs. Really?? Loaded with items like Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Quinoa Bowls, Frittatas, omelets, Steel-Cut oats and Breakfast Tacos. They are open Breakfast and Lunch only. Beautiful presentation and delicious! I will return. read more

This is your typical brunch spot that has popped up recently. Shout out to the Yelp brunch fans!! It's a modern clean aesthetic to the restaurant and i like it. I got on the yelp waitlist on the way there, checked in and was sat 5 minutes later. They had lemon honeydew water outside to drink and it was tasty. The server came over seconds after we sat down and we ordered coffee for me and tea for my friend. Coffee was good and they had dairy free creamer options and raw sugar for your java drinking pleasure. The tea was in a sugar holder and they had a couple different options. She found an earl grey and seemed to enjoy it. First watch has an appetizer called million dollar bacon and it is the greatest. Thick cut, drizzled in maple syrup with cinnamon and chives. It is so good!! The entrees were easy to pick and they have a ton of options. They have plenty of healthy options: wheat germ, cage free eggs, fruit , and whole grain pancakes. I chose the trifecta waffle, sausage, and two over easy eggs. It was perfectly cooked and delicious. She chose the Floridian french toast smothered in kiwi, banana and other fruits. She ate almost everything and she is a Small Lady. Must have been good! Do yourself a favor and jump on the brunch bandwagon, then swing by First watch. read more

One of the better breakfast/brunch spots in Tampa Bay with several locations throughout. Expect long waits on weekends but with Yelp's waitlist option, it makes it easy to time it right and not wait much. The seasonal menu is always pretty amazing. Pumpkin pancakes and short rib omelete are pretty outstanding. You also have to love that they leave a pot a coffee at your table!! read more

Prompt seating, quick service, great coffee. First watch is always great, they're one of the more corporate chains that I frequent and rarely have negative experiences with. This time around I got the Barbacoa breakfast tacos; the normal ones use chicken, but personally I think pork or beef pairs better with eggs. Comes with authentic cojito cheese and a slice of avocado on top, also black beans on the side. Very tasty, not super filling but just enough. I'll be back to this one for sure. read more

We always have a good experience here. The food at first watch is creative and innovative which is one thing we look forward to. The staff are always very nice and it's kind of fun where there's more than one person who seems to take care of your table. The last time we went I got the short rib omelette and it was outstanding. My partner got a frittata and absolutely loved it. The only downside is they don't have booze so it's a dry brunch spot. read more

Love this breakfast place. Will definitely be back. Blueberry pancakes & breakfast griddle was delicious! My son wanted a second order of French toast! Come in before 10am to avoid having to wait. read more

I excited that they built a first watch a bit closer to where I live. I'm not much of a brunch person but when I do want brunch I know First Watch will prolly have something on the menu that I'm hungry for. I'm not sure if you can come during a time that this place isn't busy but I'm sure they have those rare occasions. If you're worried you'll wait a while to get seated you can always save your spot ahead of time on the yelp app. I've never had to wait too long to get seated but I usually wait a good while to get my food. I'm guessing it's because things here are made a little more fresh them your neighborhood McDonald's. But on average I wait about 30 min after I order to get the food. The dishes I've got so far are too my liking and definitely gets me filled for the day. I'm not really a coffee drinker but the coffee here is very tastes and has a cool story behind it. All in all this is becoming my go to brunch place. It's simple, homely and has what I want. The prices are bit higher than other brunch places but I'd say worth it. read more

This is my favorite breakfast spot! It's DELICIOUS! And we only waited for 15 minutes on a Sunday after church! For the food, I got the Traditional. My eggs were amazing, and the potatoes were pretty good. They probably would have been better with ketchup if I thought of it. The sausage was the best sausage I have ever had! The bread was to die for, especially with that yummy strawberry spread! And you can't go wrong with freshly squeezed orange juice! Our server, Tara was great, too! I WILL definitely be coming back! read more

This is by far the best breakfast/ lunch place I have ever eaten. The food is so fresh and delicious and well prepared, plus the service and atmosphere makes you want to stay. I had the privilege of meeting the manager John and complimented him for doing such a good job managing this store and by hiring all the right people. Chris was my waiter who took very good care of me which made me enjoy my experience even more. This is my second time at first watch since moving to FL in December and plan on making this my place to go to. Thanks to the team at first watch in Oldsmar For an enjoyable experience. read more

I have been driving by since their construction days and decided to stop by today. There was a good amount of customers for a Thursday at 9:30 in the morning. We were seated as soon as we walked in. Cute little place , I loved the decor and liked how i could see the kitchen from my booth. The menu, it's sort of in a paragraph form. I don't want to feel like I am reading the paper while trying to order some breakfast to be honest. I ended up ordering the biscuits and Turkey gravy which was delicious, it also came with eggs and potatoes. The biscuits or should I say one full biscuit plus a half of biscuit (like come on give me the other half for damn sakes) were smothered in that delicious gravy. My man ordered the Belgium waffle that came with bacon and eggs. The waffle light and fluffy (good) and the bacon was barely there...but this isn't Kekes anyways. Overall, would I come back? Yeah. Oh and the coffee was actually kinda (kinda) strong so that's a plus. read more

Great food and atmosphere, except for our "entitled" waitress, Victoria (skinny/short hair) at Oldsmar First Watch. We were seated right away on Mother's Day (May 9, 2021 @7:55am) with our party of six and asked for four coffees. The waitress poured the two cups that were on our table and then left, supposedly to get two more cups. TEN MINUTES later, I waived her down for the coffee and she said with sass, "it's right here" (she had two cups in her hand). I said, "great, I just thought you were getting it earlier." No apologies, I'm not kidding, she said this: "we're a bit busy, hot food has priority so we serve the food first." She didn't ask us anything else, simply left the table. *Look at the picture. There were six other tables in the entire restaurant. We waited until it was 20 minutes into our morning breakfast to treat our mother, who was visiting from Colombia. Not one visit from her and I saw her leave the kitchen once. That was pretty much the breaking point for my wife, who then went to the front and asked to change the waitress. Of course, Victoria emerges and follows her back to the table, only to ask, "what would you like" (with attitude again!). Please train this girl - she's a waitress, not a Doctor or a Reverend. Stop the entitled BS attitude. Thanks. read more

I usually always come to this one for breakfast seated and greeted instantly when you walk in the door. I decided to sit at the community table today service was still fast and consistent refills, 2 bite check. I had the chickichanga and the morning mediation two of my favorites. The juice is super refreshing and not to sweet great alternative is the kale tonic if you like your super foods. The chickichanga is my favorite thing on the menu whipped eggs, spicy chicken, peppers, sour cream with Monterey Jack cheese soooo good. Everything came out hot the side of potatoes that comes with it is the perfect portion just the right amount of salt added. Thanks for the great breakfast spot love coming here ! read more

This is the second time I've come to this first watch and the 2nd time the waitlist online said there was no wait and the second time I showed up with there being a wait. If the software doesn't work shut it down please! It's also the second time the rude hosts said it must be us and sometimes that just happens! I've been going to first watch using Nowait and yelp for years and never had an issue at any other locations other than Clearwater. I'm about to give up on first watch because even after this happened the hosts didn't seat us as we were the only people waiting to be seated two others walk in after 5-10 minutes and they were about to just seat them until my girlfriend spoke up and then they suddenly said oh sorry yes right this way. While sitting there we counted 5 tables open and clean and 3 more open waiting to be bussed. This is nothing less than poor management and staff. Oldsmar first watch is off our list too many other choices that honestly are better and cheaper. read more

This place probably has the worst customer service ever! Don't even bother ordering to-go or carry out. They'll either forget about your order or push it all the way back so you'll end up waiting an extra 30-45 mins on your order. Don't even bother order from uber eats or doordash either! They'll push back your food and if you order via pickup they won't even hit the button stating that's its ready and just leave your food on their pick up table! I literally had to go in there and demand my food when I ordered a pickup even though I waited 45 mins past my pickup time. Pathetic customer service. read more

Love the food and the Clearwater First Watch is one of our favorite places. We've gone here about 5 times, and the service is slow and not attentive. 45 min to get food. Asked or dressing took 20 min and asked 3 times before we went up and complained. One of our orders was the wrong bowl. VERY DISAPPOINTED Update: went to Clearwater First Watch today. Night and day difference. Dawnielle was our server and was great. Food was out quickly and hot. Faith restored in First Watch... just not Oldsmar one yet. read more

The food was great, the service was excellent. Ask for Veronica when you come in, she is an excellent waitress.

Highly recommend. The restaurant is in a good location and the food was great! Not a fan of how the parking is set up though. I had the short rib poutine (seasonal special). I wanted to try it before the special ran out. Very good! But very filling, so I recommend not ordering it unless you don't plan on eating for a while. I'm from Buffalo and have had poutine in Canada so I know what I'm talking about. The highlight was my server Sarah! She was super attentive and knew the menu backwards and forwards. I tend to be a bit indecisive and she really helped me navigate the offerings. She also discussed the NFL playoffs which was a huge plus! She was hilarious and friendly and really made it a special occasion. I will be back! read more

Our first time eating here and the last time. Bad service from the moment we walked in. It took at least 5 min to get acknowledged and it was not busy at all. When we were finally seated we waited a while to get served. We got our drinks way after placing the food order. We ordered the granola bowl and this was not only disappointing but also took a long time to come out. The girl that was not our server was more attentive than our actual server. She was probably the only positive. read more
