First Watch - So amazing !!! - Cafes Near Me - Oro Valley, Arizona

The food was very tasty. Our waitress was good and tried to be as attentive as possible. Obvious shortage of staff but they did their best to not let that interfere with the experience. read more

This is our favorite place for breakfast and lunch. Great fresh food. The review app says I need sixteen more characters.12 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 read more

Food is still good here, but seems that new management had made it less friendly, more hurried. And they Don't seem to know their clientele at all. Suddenly they're playing really angsty music when the majority of Oro Valley patrons are 55+. Not digging the new vibe they're putting out. read more

Great food and good service. Their menu always seems to have an item that fits my palate. Very fresh ingredients every visit.

Wow, I really don't get the previous negative reviews. My husband and I had a great breakfast here this morning. Service was very pleasant, patio was lovely with a great view, and food was exceptionally fresh and tasty. This is not your typical breakfast sling diner. The ingredients are very high quality comparatively and the food is obviously made totally to order. We thoroughly enjoyed organic loose leaf hot tea, the elevated egg sandwich with perfectly ripe avocado, and the Parma skillet with amazing toast and preserves. We didn't wait long and the food was definitely worth it. If you want quick generic eggs and bacon, go someplace else, we'll be happy to take your place. Nice redesign of the interior too. read more

Food was delicious and service was excellent. Breakfast sandwich was obviously made with fresh quality ingredients two thumbs-up

Sadly wasn't too impressed. Food was great, but overpriced. Portion size was definitely too small, and the wait for food and service was too long for a Monday morning. They were understaffed or incompetent servers. Also, NO alcohol! Its a crime to not have a mimosa with your brunch. Oh did I forget to mention my husband walked into the men's bathroom to find a big SHIT on the ground? I'd say if you're looking for a great brunch spot in Oro Valley, this might be your THIRD choice... or last. read more

Nice place and food is great! But only go if you have plenty of time because the waiting time on the weekend can be disappointing!

Tried it for breakfast. Only seating was outside right next to Oracle freeway. Service was slow and food arrived cold. Won't be back

Best chain breakfast in the area. The menu offers a wide variety, including quite a few clean, healthy items. On the other end of the spectrum, they can make a pancake! There's usually a wait on weekends, but I heard recently that you can put your name on the list via their app (I haven't tried it yet. At this point, it's second-hand info). read more

We love coming here for breakfast. They've got both healthy and "not so healthy" options which makes it great for the entire family. The avocado toast and the elevated egg sandwich are two of my go-tos. read more

Service was poor, took priority over other costumers with out even trying to hide it. If you want great service here you need to dress the part I guess. It's too bad because the food was decently at least 4 star. read more

In town for a business meeting last Tuesday and came here for breakfast with a colleague. Ordered their special of the day: smoked salmon toast and I asked to replace the cheese with avocado and it came out tasting great. Waitress was very nice. Great service and food. read more

Came with a large group and was seated immediately! Our hostess Beth was amazing and very positive when seating us!!! Food here at First Watch is AMAZING! I would highly recommend!!! read more

Great food and great service definitely recommend this to everyone i know. Been here with all the family and with just my wife and its always been wonderful everytime read more

I love this place! Everything I've eaten so far has been so delicious! I was sad when my favorite meal was only for a limited time! (Açaí bowl) If you haven't tried the million dollar bacon! Please do! read more

Returned for another great breakfast of eggs bacon French Toast. Special bacon was too sweet to eat but basic bacon was great.

I go to FW a lot and I get the same thing every time. Eggs Benedict Florentine and morning meditation juice (beet juice and orange juice). This time I ordered takeout and the poached eggs were more than well done, if you could burn poached eggs they'd be considered burned. And my morning meditation was just orange juice. It is easy to see when beet juice is not in the mix. I called to complain and the manager was not apologetic at all. Covid or not, they have 25% of the dining area filled at any given time so there is no excuse for bad quality. read more

Came here with my family and bridal party after our morning time wedding rehearsal at reflections. They don't take reservations so we showed up in good faith and they were able to seat all ~15 people in the same section. The food was amazing, even my family from NYC who are hard to please foodies were impressed with the taste presentation and cost. I'd definitely recommend eating brunch here. read more

Great breakfast and friendly fast service. Can get busy at time so get there early, especially on days like Mother's Day or Father's Day. Definitely recommend. read more

Great combination of healthy and not so healthy food -- all incredibly yummy!!!! Great menu options for breakfast, brunch, or lunch!

Good food and the restaurant is always packed! Personal favorites are the avocado toast and the millionaires bacon

Had the best experience this morning at first watch !! Everyone was very friendly and attentive. I always have the best service and breakfast here ... today I had the elevated egg sandwich it was delicious I didn't get a picture but it's worth ordering ! The waitress Tiffany was AMAZING and so sweet everything came out on time and our drinks were never empty! This restaurant gets 5 stars from me also the business was so clean even the restrooms !! Thank you first watch for another amazing experience !!!! Great job read more

My family and I are newer to the area and this First Watch location quickly became our go-to breakfast restaurant. We go one a week with our daughter who is in a wheelchair. Every time we go, she is greeted along with us and everyone goes out of their way to say hi to her. We are always seated in an area with adequate space. We downloaded the app so we can get "in line" prior to arriving which is a great perk! The coffee is fantastic. The food is high quality and always delicious. We tend to get the "Trifecta" which is two eggs, breakfast meat (which we sub for breakfast potatoes) and a choice of pancake or waffle (go for the waffle!) along with a side of Millionaire Bacon which is amazing. We have never been disappointed eating here. Honestly, the staff is what makes it for us - they always have a smile and are always treating you like family! read more

Such good food! And I love the fresh pressed juice!!! My favorite. I've been a server before and somehow we weren't approached and I get it, it happens! Once we brought it to attention we haven't seen our server, they apologized and took care of us extremely well. Great food? Good management? Best breakfast I've had while traveling. read more

Best, close to home breakfast joint. Newly renovated, it use to be The Good Egg. Fresh ingredients , heathy choices and great juices. Been here three times, all three times the food was very good and consistent. One little annoyance , the food sometimes comes out like warm, not hot, I let them know and their working on that. They told me that they don't use heat lamps , but I told them they needed to put something in place to fix this, people don't like cold food. read more

Such a good vibe at this restraint and good food. Tiffany is the best server so nice!

Delightful menu of both traditional and non-traditional options. We went two mornings in a row during a recent trip to the area and were absolutely pleased with our meals both days. The Skillets were delicious and while there was plenty of food, I did not feel like I gorged myself afterward. The sandwich's and salads were fresh and very tasty! The service was top-notch and the price was well worth it for the quality of food and level of service. They made us feel very at ease with the precautions they took during COVID-19. read more

The experience was great. Tifanie was amazing. So welcoming and on top of everything. We got our food quickly.

Great place to have breakfast. Need to try the million dollar bacon. I had the ham/gruyere omelette, very good. Wife had the carrot cake pancake, it was fantastic, little and airy doesn't even need syrup without being over sweet. They have this throughout Tucson so find one and enjoy. read more

My wife and I had salads today. Wow I was very impressed. Our service was excellent. We will be back for breakfast soon. My first time here as first watch. read more

OMG I love love the toast with avocado!!! This is a favorite place for breakfast or an early lunch!!! Keep it up First Watch :D read more

Would give no stars if I could. I ordered a sandwich for takeout and when I called in (twice) they didn't answer, after they finally called me back and I ordered they said it's be 10-15 min. I went into target for 20 min and then went over to the restaurant, when I got in the woman said she didn't know who put my order in because it wasn't there so I could pay when it was ready. I sat and waited another 30 min being completely ignored by an older gentleman and woman (hosts?) before leaving and asking to cancel my order. They just don't care. I will not go back and don't recommend this particular First Watch. Bad attitude and service. read more

First time at First Watch! Ordered eggs Benedict with spinach -hubby ordered traditional scrambled eggs, toast, etc., his breakfast only partially hot, bacon and home fries only warm. Appeared that potatoes and bacon sat on plate and cooled while eggs cooked. My breakfast was barely warm, I asked to have it reheated and chef told me they couldn't do it, that it was 'probably cold because of the tomatoes', and that eggs Benedict is not traditionally warm! Hello, I'm paying for cold runny eggs? Waiter then brought out extra heated hollandaise sauce to warm things up! I was looking at cool runny eggs on my plate -didn't finish breakfast, disappointed in the meal and lack of customer service offered by kitchen chef. Won't go back. read more

The avocado toast and lemon ricotta pancakes were amazing. You can't go wrong with either of these. read more
