    This morning I placed a delivery order because I wanted some breakfast but didn't want to leave the house. And last time I visited first watch I saw that they have a lavender French toast. The French toast was pretty delicious. The only note I have is that when it's to go, they should put the toppings on the side. It arrived with the cream all melted. I feel like it should have had more berries too. I would definitely order it again, though. Sad it's just a seasonal item. The b&g I ordered with it was really not good. They used to have good b&g, but the last couple times I ordered it, it wasn't very good. The recipe must have changed. It should change again. Smaller chunks of sausage and maybe a little sage in the gravy would be nice.

    Lovely breakfast experience! I enjoyed the seasonal pineapple juice with a chocolate chip pancake and side of fruit. My husband enjoyed coffee and the Trifecta. Both were delicious. Service was QUICK for a Saturday morning. We were sat right away (you can check the wait time online at First Watch or on the First Watch app) and food arrived quickly after placing our order. It's a family friendly restaurant with great natural lighting in the morning. Comfy chairs at the 2-seater tables. We will definitely be back!

    Whats not to like... You can taste the freshness in every bite! I went to another location while here in KC..but thiz location is by far my fav! The salmon is fresh and sliced...not minced like the other KC location. Twice I have ordered the salmon benedict, million dollar bacon and gravy and biscuit....babeeeee Like I started this review..."whats not to like"

    elevated egg sandwich and spiked purple haze drink

    Food is great. My boyfriend LOVES the sausage and biscuits and i've ordered the elevated egg sandwich and the crab avocado toast. both are very good meals. They are always busy there and for good reason! Definitely feel like the prices are reasonable and the purple haze drink is to DIE FOR. Love me a good lavender lemonade, it's very refreshing and not too sweet. Waitresses/waiters are always extremely kind and quick to assist you. Before thinking of Ihop or dennys for breakfast, spend the couple extra bucks and go here instead! For two people who also bought spiked drinks with the meal, we paid about $40 (20% tip included). 10/10

    a coffee cup on a table in a restaurant

    I think everywhere is struggling with service in general so no big deal. Food was hot and fresh but service was lacking. Waited for about 7 min before we were greeted. Wish they were a little bit more aware of covid with leaving stuff on the table as well as a coffee cup. I didn't want coffee so I moved the cup - which then the server grabs it to put back for the next customer so now multiple people have touched it. I always get the pick 2 for lunch. The roast beef havarti and the sweet honey pecan chicken salad are a solid staple here. Hubs tried a summer Mexican hash feature and said it was tasty.

    Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl (gluten free) from the regular menu.

    Since it's St. Patrick's Day, and they don't serve corned beef and cabbage, I'm honoring the traditional "Wearing of the Green" with their avocado toast...I dropped some of the mashed avocado on my sweater! As a friend once said "Can't take you anywhere without a bib!" Their temporary "Jump Start" special menu items all sound pretty great, but they had me at the picture of the Crab & Avocado Toast just inside the front door. It comes with two basted eggs, but they'll cook those anyway you like. I'll paint the picture for you...imagine a thick slice of whole grain artisan toast topped with a generous amount of very fresh mashed avocado, then topped with a decent amount of wild-caught blue crab, and pickled red onions! Irresistible, right? It was delicious change-of-pace for lunch. The service was great, everything was clean and tidy (except my sweater), and I am a happy camper!

    Bubba's Benny
    Monte' J.

    Outdoing some Thanksgiving shopping and decided to stop in for a bite to eat. The restaurant was packed, about a 15 min wait for a booth. My wife got a complimentary cup of coffee while we waited. The staff was polite and put us on the list, our table was ready a little before the quoted time frame. I ordered a classic which is no longer on the menu ( Bubba's Benny) Biscuit, smothered in gravy with a sausage patty, eggs and a side of country potatoes. I also ordered the cinnamon crunch pancake. My food came out fairly quickly, the waitress was, prompt, polite and friendly. I ordered scrambled eggs vs over easy and my eggs just did not have the fluff or volume that I am used to getting at first watch, also the sausage was diced vs the patty of the center cut that I have had in the past. My biscuit did not have the body that I was accustomed to either, as it crumbled while I tried to eat it. The potatoes where good as usual and the pancake was fantastic. All and all I would not order the Bubba's Benny from this location again as it was very underwhelming, on another note we also asked our waitress for to-go containers and never received them from her nor did she return prior to us paying for our meal. ( We were forced to flag down another staff member who took care of us) This is one of my wife's favorite chains and yet not our favorite locations.

    Enjoying our mom and daughter time.

    My first favorite place since I moved from Washington, D.C. To the Midwest. Before this place offer liquor beverages I loved and now more than ever. Sundays are days when the waitlist makes it a little bit difficult but the wait time is worth it after you enjoy their variety of dishes including a healthy menu.

Inspired Play Cafe always has nicer wooden Montessori type of toys and learning games. I have typically gone to the Merriam location as it is closer but they are just going to have this location remain open. The owner is very nice and welcoming and she is updating and always rotating items for it to remain fresh for clients. They also have new and cheaper monthly fee which is a great deal. It is a nice atmosphere but they do need to remember to keep the music playlist playing as it is nice to relax to. The only reason I gave this location a 4 was because when I first entered the play area it was a complete disaster. There were only 2 parents at the time but they never picked up after their kids and it was hard to find matching toy items as they were everywhere. This is not typical of the Merriam location so it's probably just an issue today. They might want to suggest to parents to pick up after their child once they leave a specific area. I ended up picking the place up because the parents left and then it was more obvious to my grandson and other kids that came what toys there were available in each area.

I haven't always been a big coffee drinker, but my girlfriend said there used to be a drink called the Hospital Hill. It's essentially the Honeycomb with Cinnamon.

There's a lot of staff to name, so I'll leave it off this review, but they have all been exemplary and I believe they make this place great. I highly suggest coming here and grabbing yourself a coffee. It's also a nice and relaxing environment to study or do homework.

The amount I paid for the croissant and how large it appeared, you'd think it was filled with chocolatey goodness--it was disappointing to say the least, to find there were two measly strips inside; hardly worth the $5.75 I paid. The fact it came in an Ibis Bakery bag made me even more sad, thinking a reputable bakery would have lived up to its status. However, it's possible Ibis Bakery no longer has standards--so this part of a negative review is for them. Two stars for the pastry. :( The Roasterie Cafe in Leawood, however, was great! The coffee was delicious and the baristas were amazing. They helped me pick a new whole bean coffee and were friendly. As this was a grab and go effort, the place was busy, but I didn't stay, so as to the ambiance, about what you'd expect from a small cafe. Quaint but kind of packed. :)

Now…read morethat we've cleared that up, let's get to the meat and potatoes -- or in this case, chicken and rice. (Don't worry, we'll circle back to the actual meat and potatoes later.) I ordered a large Mango Lassi. It was delicious -- creamy, sweet, and refreshing -- but calling it "large" might be a slight exaggeration. Still, flavor-wise, no complaints. The real reason I chose this restaurant was the Chicken Rice Platter, and to say it delivered would be an understatement. There's a spot in Houston I used to visit just for this exact dish, and this version absolutely blew it out of the park. A solid 10/10. The chicken tasted like it was rotisserie-style, with a beautifully seasoned crust on the outside and juicy, tender white meat inside. It's served over fragrant yellow rice, topped with a rich white sauce, and paired with a fresh cucumber salad on the side. Hands down, my favorite dish of the night. Next up was the Beef Nihari, served with naan and yellow rice, along with the Karachi Chicken Biryani. The Beef Nihari is a thick, deeply seasoned beef stew with generous chunks of fall-apart tender meat. It's hearty, comforting, and packed with flavor. The warm, fluffy, pillowy naan was perfect for soaking up that rich broth. Paired with yellow rice, it makes for a seriously satisfying meal. (Side note: it is oily -- which is traditional and expected -- just a friendly heads up.) The Karachi Chicken Biryani was beautifully spiced, aromatic, and fluffy. Tender chicken thighs and drumsticks were nestled into the rice alongside hearty chunks of potato -- told you we'd get to the meat and potatoes. It has a noticeable kick, but nothing overwhelming. Just bold, well-balanced spice. To finish, I had a large Lemon Mint Virgin Mojito. Extremely refreshing -- crisp citrus and minty cool -- but again, "European large" might be the more accurate description. I placed this as a carry-out order and made the commute to pick it up. The restaurant is located in Overland Park in an area that seems to have several similar establishments, at least from my perspective. Once inside the double doors, you're welcomed into a fairly modern dining space with seating for couples and larger groups, plus a private dining area. There appeared to be a buffet set up -- possibly for Iftar -- which is a thoughtful and convenient touch. I also appreciated the designated prayer area, which was a wonderful detail to see. The host was friendly, and my food was ready in a timely manner. Overall, I was genuinely impressed. Flavor, atmosphere, hospitality -- all on point. Definitely check it out for yourself.
