    First watch view

    We love our experience at first watch every single time . The food is always delicious. The staff is so friendly and service is quick even it's super busy. The ambiance here is always so great and welcoming,it gets the warm feeling that you like to feel for the Sunday brunch.

    Everything omelette with sour cream & diced tomatoes, wheat toast & home fries. Perfect size meal to start the day.

    Our breakfast was Amazing, the service was top notch and the ambiance was very clean and comfortable. This is the place to go for breakfast!

    When I asked the blonde lady if the music would be this loud the entire time at 7:00am, she initially didn't hear me and I had to repeat myself. She responded by saying that they like to keep the music at this volume. Despite this, we decided to leave.But if you like extremely loud music this is your place to be.

    Haven't had brunch at First Watch in a while and this location was really good. Large parking lot and no wait. The atmosphere has a little something to be desired with all the traffic and the location isn't perfect when you're on the frontage road between two busy streets, but I also understand they can only do so much. Quibell, our server was fantastic. Super smiley and puts the customer first. I hope they're paying her well. I loved my French toast and I'm not a French toast guy; my spouse was a little underwhelmed with their food / taste. Payment is super easy by using your smart phone to scan a QR code on your receipt.

    First Watch is always on my to do list when I visit AZ and this visit was wonderful like the rest. The lemon ricotta pancakes had me, a certified pancake hater, eating half the plate before I realized what was going on. The blueberry lemon cornbread was to DIE for and one of my favorite seasonal menu items. The kale tonic drink also hits the spot and charges me up for the day. Service was friendly as always and made me feel very welcome. Can't wait to visit again!

    The food and service were great. Our waitress Elaine was great! Definitely try the bacon and potatoes. So good

    A cute little breakfast joint hidden on the outskirts of the freeway. I just got the Belgium waffle and it was good. Nothing special or spectacular but fair for it to stand out amongst other breakfast restaurants Belgium waffles. Not really fulfilling - so if I ever go to a first watch again I would order something different. Service was a little slow for a Sunday early morning before the brunch rush.

    Fresh juices!

    Hey, what's your favorite brunch item? I want to try this place.

    Parma hash

    Will you guys be airing the Preakness or the derby this year? And would it be OK environment to bring a small child three years old to watch with us?

    My guess is no since they have no TV's, hope that helps.

    When will this restaurant reopen after the vehicle crash on October 30th 2019?

    It was not an accident, person had heart attack & died in his truck, Restaurant will not open for mths.…

    You know when you visit a friend and they make dinner and you can tell they poured their heart into…read morethe meal? Monae Fusion is that. It's getting five stars because in today's hustle and bustle this food makes you slow down and savor every bite, and time. I walked away remembering life is worth savoring and a fully belly! The staff were so delightful and pleasant, and our food was delicious! We got the Créme À La Fraise French Toast, prosciutto avocado toast, brown sugar oat and butter pecan French toast lattes. We loved both! It's a gem of a place and so happy we tried it. So if you're looking to slow down, a good meal, and lots of love - this is it!

    We came here on a weekday for our girls' catch-up lunch. My friend suggested this place, and none…read moreof us had been here before. I'm glad she picked it. Starting from the outside, with a couple of tables out front, the place already had a chill vibe. Once we walked in, it felt very spacious. I loved the decor and the colors. We were seated at a bigger table for the four of us. At first, we thought the table might be a little too big, but it actually worked out perfectly because we could use the extra chairs for our purses and bags. Very thoughtful! My friends ordered regular lattes, and I got the Triple Berry Fusion. For food, we ordered the Omelette with Sausage, Saumon Fumé Toast, and the Monae Chicken Sandwich. The presentations were all so pretty, and everything tasted delicious. Our server was very nice. She let us take our time to chat and even became our photographer. At the end, we also got the chance to meet the owner, Monae. She was very kind, easygoing, and welcoming. The only thing that might be an issue is if we bring our husbands or guy friends with us next time. The portions are a little on the smaller side, so they might still be hungry afterward. We'll definitely come back to try something different next time.

    One of the best, if not the best coffee I've had in Phoenix so far. We had the Dry Heat Latte…read more I have an espresso machine at home and normally make my own lattes, etc. We happened to be in this Moon Valley neighborhood and stumbled on this place. Very glad we gave it a try. Interior vibes are what I feel like more coffee shops should be like - strong community feel, books, music, artwork...it feels like something will trigger inside and you'll find inspiration there. The place had a steady flow of people. Some people were clearly soaking in vibes, chatting, reading, and playing games at the tables. It looks like they make their pastries and food on site. Looked great and will need to try some next time. I don't live close by, but I'll make an effort to stop by if I'm in the area.

    Service was friendly…read more They made our drinks quickly. Mine was not overly sweet which is usually a concern of mine but I'm also a "do it and see what happens" when trying new coffee. I had the Xmas in July, brown butter brown sugar latte, iced with almond milk. Flavors were pleasant, not overpowering and not overwhelmingly sweet. The toasty flavor of the brown butter paired well with the almond milk and it wasn't too sweet with the brown sugar. If you like it sweeter they do have a condiment bar. My mini got the firecracker lemonade. It tasted exactly like a bomb pop. It was a little too sweet for my taste but she loved it. Cute vibes, super chill. Ample parking as it shares a parking lot with multiple businesses. FYI: the parking lot exit on the side with the light and the smaller side street is more "low car friendly". The lip of the entrance to the parking lot from 7th St is weirdly steep.
