There's about a million options available between the menu board and for me, as a picky eater girl, that great place

Pretty good for a chain! The food isn't too oily and you don't leave feeling heavy. Juices are great there!

Great breakfast, wonderful juices and fast service! Super friendly staff!

Yum. Everything was yummy! Love the decor, reminded me more of California than California! I wanted to try everything on the menu! Didn't know this was a chain. I will definitely look out for one the next time I am going for breakfast/brunch. I had the Power Quinoa Bowl. Only negative, I wanted more! My husband had the Floridian French Toast. Lots of fresh fruit topped it off. The toast could have been soaked a bit longer in the batter because it was a bit dry in the middle, but everything else was so fresh and yummy, not in issue for us. read more

The food was excellent and very tasty. We loved how healthy it was. Oh, and the bread was fantastic and amazing simply amazing.

Came here Sunday for brunch and was pleasantly surprised. Expected it to be like the good egg which is the chain they are replacing but it was much much better! Service: 5 stars, everyone was extremely nice, helpful and quick. Menu: 4 stars, they had a great selection, something for everyone. Including seasonal choices and a "lighter side" menu. Although I found it a tad odd most breakfast choices came with a side salad Food: 4 stars, everything we got tasted great. However I was adventurous and tried the salad that came with my breakfast and it just a spring mix with hardly any dressing. Overall this place really hit the spot and would definitely come back for a quick, simple breakfast. read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I ordered a simple breakfast 2 eggs over medium, sausage, potatoes, toast, and million $ bacon. The only thing that was as expected was the coffee. Eggs were fried hard and crispy, sausage so much fat that it just tasted like grease, cold potatoes, toast so cold that whipped butter put on super thick looked like mayo that never melted, bacon that menu said drizzled with syrup was drowned in corn syrup with chemical maple flavor. They advertise like they are upscale and healthy...I can't believe they fed me that garbage, I ate half and couldn't choke down the rest. I left a good tip for the waitress with no personality that dropped my check on table when I was a quarter of the way done and did not ask me if I needed anything else. I was in a great mood when I went in and very polite. This location is downtown on Thomas. read more

I love first watch! We would go every Saturday when I lived in St. Louis and when I moved to Los Angeles I looked to see where the nearest one was and well I made the drive just to get a little bit of home!!!! I never need a menu! I always order the trifecta with a side of potatoes and a coffee!!! It's always on point and sometimes I add a little fruit!! First watch is is always grade A! read more

First Watch - Amazing - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This place is good when you want a healthy no-fuss breakfast. There's a lot to choose from and the options and plentiful. The decor is also adorable and I've only had great experiences with the servers. Two things I wish were different were portion sizes. I've ordered a breakfast wrap before that was delicious but would've enjoyed maybe a little more fruit on the side--just something to make the meal feel a little more filling. Also, work on your cold brew! The taste is very acidic and needed a lot of cream to make drinkable. read more

My wife and I have been here a few times, now, and it's a consistent go-to spot for a late or working breakfast. My first time, I got a seasonal pork chop dish - it was okay, but I wasn't impressed. My second time, I wanted to be sure to order a popular dish to gauge how much I liked this spot. It needed some redeeming. I got the breakfast tacos, and was pleasantly surprised. I was worried it'd be bland, or watery, or not filling enough. I was wrong on all counts. Super flavorful, fun colors and textures. Very filling, even with the fruit on the side instead of the beans. Our third time, I got the avocado toast and I didn't like it. The avocado was spotty - so I'd get a bite and half of it would be rich and creamy, and the other would have the texture of, well, unripe avocado. It was way too lemon-y and salty - maybe to cover up the undesirable avocado. I don't blame them - it's a fickle fruit, but the dish was pricey and didn't have any substance to it. The last time we were here, I got the banana granola pancakes, and they were bomb. So much flavor, super moist, not too heavy, so satisfying. We like getting the granola to go here - makes for a great snack or breakfast throughout the week. The service here is pretty good - you're checked on just enough, and you're given some space, but everything is clean and timely. read more

Loved it!! Our server was so attentive, friendly and easy going. I can't wait to come back.

Great food, but need to address online ordering time estimates. I placed an order that was supposed to be ready at 11:08. I arrived on time, and then stood there until it came out at 11:45. read more

As this location is in Cen-PHO, one may want to consider all of the other options available. Portion size is small versus the price. As breakfast ingredients comprise the lowest cost grocery item, I'm not a fan of paying lunch/dinner prices for basic breakfast. If you are a light eater this may be your place. Just remember this....if you are reading this review, you are in the heart of good food; Central PHX...you have options!! read more

This was our first time eating here and I don't foresee us returning any time soon. I ordered the egg white omelet with turkey and all that was in the omelet was soggy onions. The omelet was flat and I believe they neglected to add in the turkey. The whole grain toast was nothing to rave about and it came with about 4 pieces of cut up fruit in a very small cup. For the price paid, I do not believe it was worth the value. We are from Las Vegas where there are an abundance of good local breakfast places where you definitely get what you paid for. We are healthy eaters, but not bird eaters and the portions were small and the taste of the omelet was very bland. It seems a hot spot for the Phoenix locals, but come to Vegas where you surely will not be disappointed! I will be more than happy to suggest some great breakfast eateries which have the same type of clean and healthy breakfasts, at a lower price but chockfull of flavor! read more

First Watch is "okay," but U.S. Egg, & CHOMPIE'S are way better, in my opinion! Give them a try.

We hit up First Watch this morning and my first thought was, "boy! what a popular joint!" The wait was quoted at 10-15 minutes but we were seated in else than ten. Service was excellent. Jenny enjoyed the waffle breakfast and I had an Acapulco Express omelette. Both were good and we cleared out plates, sipping on the coffee (caution: it's a strong brew) to wrap up our casual Saturday breakfast. Not a lot of bells and whistles but First Watch seems to know what they're doing. Definitely a safe bet if you're looking for a dependable weekend breakfast stop. read more

This breakfast house is solid. As a matter of fact if I was hospitalized across the street this would be my first stop for non hospital food which btw I love hospital food. Had a fluffy veggie omelet, little potatoes and english muffins. Ate it all. Coffee was good and the gals were the sweetest. Even got a free newspaper to read. Thank you again! read more

Great breakfast with friendly staff and delicious food, I had the Floridian French Toast with fresh fruit that was very good. Do yourself a favor if you LOVE bacon and order the Million Dollar Bacon,this was the BEST bacon I've ever had,it should be called the Billion Dollar bacon! read more

Excellent and impressive menu! So many options! Mary is such a nice and efficient waitress! Gave us recommendations!

I been having a terrible week and went to eat here on my lunch break. I reserved my spot online and barely waited to get seated, which was a plus. What really made my day though was Sydney's attitude and smile. Thank you Sydney for attending to me so well! People like you are appreciated in life. read more

Came here on a Sunday morning with my friend before we headed off to Sedona for a hike. We were approached immediately and were seated as soon as we entered, with a really positive and lively morning smile! There's such a huge selection and the food is really great, very wholesome and nourishing the soul and body. I enjoyed the healthy turkey and I think my friend got another omelette. The food was truly delicious, and filling enough (but not too full) for several hours until and during our hike, just in time for a post-hike meal. :) read more

3 stars for the service. The waitress wasn't that friendly. 5 stars for good price and healthy delicious food! Had the Tri-athlete egg white omelette, it comes with yummy toast and fresh fruit! Food was nice and healthy, not oily like most omelette are. read more

First time going here and I will definitely come back next time I am in Arizona. The worst part was that they only have 10 locations all in Arizona , (coming soon to Tennessee and Florida) however it is worth the trip! They have fantastic service, staff and food!! They offer delicious breakfast creations both sweet and savory as well as yummy lunch options. And the prices are reasonable for the food you'll get, good portion meals from about $8-$12. They also have water and coffee waiting for you as soon as you're seated. On this trip I tried the following menu items that I highly recommend: AVOCADO TOAST: This is a definite must try when you go, and proably something I'd get every visit. I have had homemade avocado toast before, but nothing like this. There toast is the perfect ratio of smashed avocado to thick cut whole grain toast and that drizzle of lemon and dash of salt, put it all together and it's magic in your mouth. ELEVATED EGG SANDWHICH: A delicious upgrade on the classic egg sandwich. This sandwich contains cage-free eggs (cooked how you wish, I ordered it with scrambled and it was amazing), crispy bacon, Gruyere cheese, avocado, mayo and lemon dressed arugula on a brioche bun. Served with a side of potatoes. I would definitely get again. LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES: Due to all of the food we ordered, we decided to have wisdom and only order one, and it was the wrong choice. We should've ordered more. It contained lemon custard and fresh strawberries served on a ricotta pancake and every bit left me wanting more. CHICKEN SALAD MELT & BUTTERNUT SQUASH BISQUE: For all those who like a more savory option, I recommend this item. Their chicken salad is made with rasians, apple, celery and a whole lot of love on grilled artisan whole grain toast topped with fresh tomato. The side bisque was amazing, creamy, sweet and delicious. MAPLE BACON: We ordered a side of bacon drizzled with maple syrup and although it was the least satisfying thing I tried, it was still great. So if you want sweet and savory all in one this is for you. Kids meals a good size portions and just as delicious. (Try the Grilled Cheese and fresh fruit) read more

Tried this place mutiple times for a quick work lunch as well as a leisure breakfast. The food is fresh and the portions are filling. Tried their bisque which is creamy and simply delicious. Another favorite of mine is the veggie market sandwich which I never skip. When it comes to drinks, their morning meditation drink is a must-try! They also give a generous buy 1 get 1 offer in signing up on their website. Do try this place for a healthy refereshing meal. read more

Just realized I've never given a review for this place. But I've gone here plenty of times. We generally would make a visit here on Saturday or Sunday. 5 or 6 of us. Every one liked First Watch. when trying to decide we're to go for a mid or late morning breakfast. First Watch usually won out. They have varied menu. With lots to choose from.including lots of healthy choices too. The coffee. Hmm I wasn't always loving their coffee. Never had a bad visit. Wait staff always friendly from hostess to manager. Really a pleasant experience. Busy every day but weekends are busiest. Parking is easy they have own private car park. Easy to get to. Even if you don't have a car. Take the Light Rail to Thomas and Central. Walk West on Thomas Rd. Which is the avenues First Watch is on the south side of the street. Perhaps a 5 minute walk from Central Ave. read more

Christina was an excellent waitress, she delivered outstanding customer service, she made sure to check on us the entire stay. Food was just right, all fresh and delicious in flavor. Coffee was a bit strong but overall it was good. I would give this place a 5 start and will definitely return next time I am in town. read more

No quality of customer service. I went with my fiancé on our first visit at this establishment our first impression was we were let down horribly. The hostesses were unorganized, put blame on each other and management in front of guests. I work at a wedding venue and I give premiere customer care and to receive anything less on my day off or at least basic human acknowledgment is infuriating. When we finally were seated after having to ask a second time after watching more people getting checked in before us, we decided to leave. I gave little glance at the menu and will enjoy my meal and time elsewhere. read more

My husband and I are here from Boston visiting family and they took us here. Very homey feel and best breakfast I have ever had. I got the Beef carnitas burrito... delicious. Everything was fresh. The burrito was an explosion of flavor so good! I also got the morning meditation from the juice bar... fantastic! The service was excellent as well. We will definitely be returning. read more

The food is good, the service is fast and friendly. This was my first time at this location. And I was NOT disappointed, for a healthy change of pace, this diner is the best. read more

Servers can be outgoing and motivated, idk if that's because of some outside force but hey when you're dealing with people it's hard to be kind all the time I totally get that, but some servers are far greater than others when it comes to this which is as expected in any restaurant. The food quality is good I'm no food critique but I got what I payed for and I love breakfast so yeah that was nice. It can be a little crowded at times here but when it's not it's really peaceful and it's a nice place to chill out with a couple of friends if you have the time. read more

I ordered the Ubereats app and when my food arrived I was missing an order. I called the store to notify them and the first thing they said was that I needed to go through the app for a refund. Initially, They weren't apologetic about the fact that they messed up my order. Then proceeded to tell me that I only ordered one meal, all the while I was looking at my receipt that had two items. Upon speaking to a manager, she apologized for the error. But guess what? I'm still missing food. This business needs to be more meticulous about preparation and packaging of customer's food during peak hours. So disappointed. read more

The test of a breakfast place is how they cook over medium eggs. In my experience, three out of five places get it wrong and undercook them. Unfortunately, this place also got it wrong. They cooked over medium eggs like over easy eggs. Cooks take note: if the white of the eggs is still runny, it's not over medium, it's over easy. And gross! I don't know if the cooks don't know how to properly prepare an over medium egg or if they're just in too much of a hurry to do it right. What is interesting is that I've found that the independent, little diners tend to get it right more often that the chains. But the bacon and toast was excellent. The home fries were only so-so (dried out and over cooked). The coffee is also excellent, though a little high priced. And it would be much better if they served real half and half with the coffee instead of those little individual creamers. read more

I got the coconut chia seed pudding with wheat toast and almond butter and it was amazing! Very big portion with lots of fruit and totally filled me up. There was enough for 2 people there, but I ate most of it because it was so good. My mom got tomato soup and said it was delicious too, and we are picky eaters. :) read more
