This used to be peach valley and had similar menu options and similar hours (closed at 2:30 PM). They upgraded the entire layout though of the inside and it looks much nicer than when it was peach Valley. It used to have a more closed in feeling. This is very open and airy. Unfortunately, voices bounce around a lot and so it does start to get a bit loud in here if you're trying to carry on conversations. The service was quick and fast and they had no problem with my wife's custom order. She tends to like to just tell them what she wants as opposed to picking something off a menu. Our server was great and put a delicious meal together on the request that she had. I had the CHICKICHANGA. Kind of a southwestern chicken breakfast taco. Delicious though.

Clean restaurant with friendly staff. Our waitress checked on us quite often. We started with the Million Dollar bacon. It was sweet from maple syrup with a hint of spice on top of thick cut smoky bacon. Delicious! Both of us ordered the Smoked Salmon Benedict that was perfectly poached eggs over smoked salmon, tomato slice, and ciabatta. The whole thing was topped with a silky, lemony hollandaise. We chose a salad as our side and the spring mix topped with a lemon vinaigrette was a perfect contrast to the rich Benedict. Overall would 100% visit again!

We were so excited to check out the soft opening of First Watch in Ormond Beach and it did not disappoint! As regulars at the Daytona Beach branch, we're thrilled to now have one closer to home here in Beachside. We came in for lunch and started with decaf coffee (wonderful, smooth, and rich!) and the Morning Meditation juice, which was refreshing and fresh. For food, I had the Smoked Salmon Benedict with spring salad--everything was super fresh and absolutely delicious. My husband went for the Roast Beef & Havarti sandwich with horseradish sauce and salad, which was also packed with flavor. A big shoutout to our server Nikki--she was the sweetest and made sure our entire experience was perfect. The restaurant has a cozy vibe with the bonus of outdoor seating, which means we can bring our dog next time. All in all, the ambiance was lovely, the food was spot-on, and the service was phenomenal. So happy to welcome First Watch to Ormond Beach--we'll definitely be back often!

Service - possibly too much! :-) We happened to be seated at the end of the bar and every time a server passed us, they checked on us, tried to collect servingware (some of which was awaiting use) and asked if we needed anything. They were friendly and welcoming, not pushy. Tip: We heard a server describing flights to a nearby table. We had not been told of these. There was a $12 mystery flight with either 3 reds or 3 whites. There was a premium 3 taste red flight at $18. I am using the word taste loosely here as we were advised each taste in the flight is 1/2 glass. Everyone was happy to let us taste any wines that were open. The premium flight included a higher end version of the wine we got by the bottle (Mendoza Malbec) which the proprietress proactively offered us. Judging by that alone, the premium flight would have been worth the price. All wines by the glass were $7 or $15. On to the food and menu: The menu is a nice size and has offerings that would appeal to many palates and appetites. We tried the Crab Remick and the Grazing Board MKT ($20). We were there a year ago when the transition from "Better Days" to the "vine" was still in process. I liked the old menu a little better, but that's a matter of taste. The crab cakes and pasta choices are not on the menu now. (There is mac and cheese) For a scratch kitchen it is strange to me that they don't have any bread. In fact, I question whether they make the crostini. These crostini are small, cracker-sized, and have garlic flavoring. The actual crackers are clearly not made in house (see my photo). I looked at the photo of the French onion soup to see what bread is in there and I could not tell. But here is the thing, coming from Northern CA, having bread, preferably sourdough, to go with your cheese and wine is a key part of the experience for me. I think the Bistro is missing a couple big opportunities here. The first is to offer fresh bread with both the wine tasting menu and the brunch. And the other one is to get SF sourdough starter and use that for a unique and special attraction. Last time we were here, we got the meatball sliders and we really liked those. BTW, they offer tablets that have the menu, including photos, and wines, if you like to access the information that way.

This morning my husband and I were going out for breakfast, I suggested Heffer's Kountry Cafe,…read morereviews were good and we like trying new places. When we walked in, we were told to sit anywhere, it was only 40° this morning, so we decided to sit at a table away from the door. We were greeted and the young man was friendly. My husband had coffee and I had ice water. I did notice that if was loud inside as far as people talking loudly across the dining room from tables. Our server took our order my husband ordered 2 eggs, sausage gravy and biscuits with bacon. I ordered an egg over easy with hash browns, 2 sausage links and wheat toast. Our food was served quickly and we thought everything was going good. But then a SUV pulls up outside and apparently Tuesday morning is when they get their delivery. They propped open the door with all the cold air coming in, everyone except the cook that was working there stopped what they were doing and started to unloaded their order. Never once were we asked if we needed anything. My husband was almost hit in the back of his head with a big box of snack size Lays potato chips. Honestly, that was very unprofessional if they do this every Tuesday morning, they are only opened until 2 PM. They have all afternoon to have an order delivered or come in early before the restaurant opens to have it delivered. You do not go back-and-forth through a restaurant ignoring your customers because you have a delivery. Besides that... aren't most deliveries brought in through the back door not the front. We waited for our check but never came so we stood at the register until we could pay our bill. The restaurant was nicely decorated for St. Patrick's Day but maybe be more considerate of your customers.

5/5 Stars - Brunch Daytona is our new go-to spot!…read more This is our second visit to this location and wow, what a fantastic experience! From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding: our server was friendly, attentive, and made great recommendations without being pushy. This was during the last day of Bike Week and they handled the busy crowd like pros. The food is absolutely delicious and full of flavor. Everything we ordered tasted fresh and was cooked perfectly. The portions are seriously generous and you definitely leave satisfied (and maybe even with leftovers!). The menu has an impressive variety plus plenty of lunch options if you're there later. Drinks were a highlight too with the Bloody Marys made just right and perfectly spiced, and the mimosas are fresh, bubbly, and just the right amount of sweet. We loved the seating options: plenty of cozy indoor spots with a bright, welcoming vibe, plus outdoor tables if you want some fresh air. The prices are very reasonable and right in line with other brunch places around Daytona, no sticker shock here for the quality and quantity you get. If you're in the area looking for a reliable, delicious brunch spot with great service and value, Brunch Daytona is a must-try. We'll definitely be back again!

My husband and I recently tried Brunch Daytona. It doesn't seem like they take reservations, and we…read morewaited about 25 minutes for an outdoor table. It was Bike Week, so I'm sure it was busier than normal, but the space itself is pretty small with a slightly quirky setup for a place labeled as "brunch." I'll admit I expected more of a brunch vibe -- things like bottomless mimosas, live music, or a more elevated menu -- but overall it felt closer to a diner experience. We both ordered the mimosa flight, which was fine but pretty average, nothing particularly fresh or over-the-top in terms of ingredients or presentation. I had the bacon pancakes, which were good but not anything memorable. I did like that the bacon was thick cut, and I added icing to create more of a sweet-and-savory combination, which helped. My husband had a muffin sandwich, and again, it was decent but felt like something you could easily get at a local diner. For a place branded around brunch, I expected daily specials or something a bit more unique. Service was also just okay. Our server was always on the go and never really stopped at our table. There wasn't much effort to explain the menu, check if we had questions, or suggest any items, which would have helped the overall experience feel more welcoming. Overall, I wouldn't discourage anyone from trying it, but I'm not in a rush to go back either. If I never dined here again, I'd be perfectly okay with that.
