Like any other breakfast place it will be a 45-60min wait, at First Watch it was definitely worth it. This was my mothers and my first time eating at this lovely little place. The serves is awesome but the food was even better. Our server was Albert who was funny and told great story's. We got the Floridian French Toast and the elevated egg sandwich. It's was absolutely delicious! Also I had a glass of the morning meditation which is a juice of oranges, lemon, turmeric, organic ginger and beets. If only they had this healthier drink at other restaurants and coffee shops. I definitely recommend coming here and will hopefully be back soon! read more

The food is absolutely delicious, but they really don't take the time to look over their orders (to go orders). Every single time we get a to go order something is always wrong or they forget to put something in the bag that we paid for. The camelback location, and the one on mill ave specifically. The people are always really sweet when sitting in, but in times like these, to go orders are more regular, and it's kind of frustrating not always getting what we paid for. Especially when we spend lots of money there. We will no longer be ordering take out due to the multiple inconveniences. read more

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

We have been looking for a good breakfast place since we came to AZ and First Watch did not disappoint. Their French Toast is super good and the potatoes- the potatoes were perfectly cooked and seasoned. We will definitely be going back sometime soon! read more

Amazing!!! Every meal I've had here has been superb. Service is spectacular and I am so happy to have found this cute, yummy breakfast cafe!! You must try it too!!! read more

Recently I read a poor review which I didn't agree with, that being said, I was seated facing the kitchen and was eating oatmeal with strawberries, bananas and pecans. It also came with a blueberry muffin. Unfortunately the muffin had many old dried up blueberries instead of fat ripe organic ones. The oatmeal was fine but the banana was overripe. Then it happened!! The cook, wearing all black, black baseball cap slight short beard and mustache bent and spit into the kitchen trash. It was then evident that he had chew under his lip, then again he spit approximately 2 feet from the trash container. It was all I could handle and I quickly left sorely disappointed! read more

We went there for a Tuesday morning late breakfast with our son supposed to be joining us by 9:30 a.m. We got there about 9:20 and explained the rest of our party would be joining us in about 10 minutes and asked them if we should wait or if we could be seated. The restaurant was not crowded and the hostess gave us the option of waiting or being sat. We chose to be sat. Our waiter, James, came immediately to take our orders. We explained we were waiting for someone else, but I ordered coffee and hubby ordered orange juice. As usual, our son was running late and actually didn't get there until closer to 10 a.m. He also brought our grandson, so we had to request a child's menu. James was extremely attentive and took drink orders when son and grandson arrived as well as all of our food orders when ready. The food came out delicious. Hubby had one of the omelettes, I can't remember the name now, but it was tasty. Son had one of the power (?protein) bowls which also looked delicious. I did my usual 2 eggs with bacon that came with potatoes and toast. Our grandson got the children's waffle and bacon. He wanted another waffle, which James quickly ordered and got out to him. Very pleasant experience. Very attentive service. read more

Creative menu delivered with enthusiasm We were a party of 5 with a spry 97 year old, and they accommodated our request for a round table that required them to clean a recently used table. Victoria was our server and I can not say enough about her. We had lots of what could be termed irritating requests like extra plates, more butter, warm syrup, new coffees because our got cool and she filled them quickly and happily. I particularly like the check which is broken down by each of our group, so it is understandable and checkable. As far as the food, the waffles, bacon, pancakes, Chicken Chimichurri Hash with 2 eggs basted (a hard request for many cooks) Lemon Ricotta Pancakes all were done exactly as the menu explained them and in a relatively fast delivery time. Victoria did everything like it was no effort....a real GEM BTW I am a restaurant consultant and easily find fault...congrats First Watch read more

My boyfriend and I go to this First Watch every Saturday and have yet to have a bad experience. We have had nothing but great service since coming here the past 3 months and the good is just delicious. I want to give a shout out to Kim and Jon who go out of their way to say hello to us and make us feel welcome each time we come in. Like I said, the food is great! While we have tried almost everything on the menu, my boyfriend loves the breakfast tacos and no matter what I always come back to the lemon ricotta pancakes. I have recommended First Watch to people looking for a great new breakfast cafe and will continue to do so! read more

What a find! Good coffee, excellent ingredients, many options, generous portions, friendly service--what's not to like?! My triathlete's breakfast--egg white frittata with veggies, multigrain toast, pico de gallo, and fresh fruit--is the closest thing to a triathlon as I'll ever get, but it was fantastic, filling, super healthy & delicious. A lemon poppy muffin to go will be my snack later on. read more

First watch is a great alternative to the traditional​ brunch places that live off carb pancakes and greasy bacon. We love the healthier options you guys offer like the avocado toast and quinoa bowls. Even my grandparents love coming here, and that is saying something! Thanks,​ First Watch!​ read more

We live across the street from First Watch on Camelback, so taking a morning stroll over for Sunday breakfast is such A treat. I usually have the Carrott Cake Pancake, and this is DELICIOUS! My husband really likes thier omelettes and has been pleased every time. Nice start to a Sunday! read more

Customer service was great! Food was delicious! The manager Tammy came to check on our table. She was amazing!!! Will definitely return!

The most amazing customer service and food was exceptionally delicious. I love how friendly they all are especially with my kids and family. Will definitely return soon. read more

Food and service was great. Ordered the biscuit & gravy with eggs. Food portions was good, very clean and our server was very kind.

Brunch was great. I got the chicken tacos with extra chicken. I wanted to order pancakes but server Monique never came back to ask if I needed anything. I had to go to hostess stand for napkins. Our sever forgot to grab us some. Hostess asked if food was good. Told him I wanted to order more and waited forever for napkins. He bluntly said, do you need your check? Hes the one with slight red hair. I like First Watch, will definately ask for a better server and not all hostesses are cheerful. read more

Went in to get breakfast with my girlfriend, got ignored by all the staff then i had to approach someone to ask to be seated out side they say wait as they clean some tables then proceed to sit two people outside who came in after us... so we left and went to the downtown location where the service has always been good for the past 15 years iv been going. read more

This is a really good place for breakfast. I had a bacon avocado omelette, and it was awesome. Everyone who I was with loved their meals. We will be back. read more

First Watch on Camelback is pretty damn tasty. Great place to bring your well behaved pet as they can seat you on the covered patio. They offer complimentary coffee should you come and be asked to wait. I had a mother daughter breakfast last Sunday and the waffles are very fluffy and really warm your spirit. I ordered the biscuits with turkey sausage gravy. It was packed with flavor in every bite. My favorite part of my meal was the hash. I love a rustic flare on a potato hash brown. Big chunks of crispy potato, yum. The service was pretty good considering how busy it was. Everyone is giving the host or front house manager a bad review, and I honestly feel that many of you misunderstand his demeanor. The man is busy. He probably has to deal with asshole's all day who complain about a 10 minute wait or not getting a table at the window. He is there to take your name and seat you when your table is ready. Just get over the attitude and enjoy your meal! I took home the French toast for my fiance and he loved it! Big thick pieces of French toast covered in fresh fruit and powdered sugar, yes please! The only thing I wish they would change (and granted this might just be a pet peeve of mine) when I asked for sugar free syrup, they brought me the actual bottle of smuckers sugar free syrup (as if I purchased it at the store and snuck it in my purse). I just would have preferred it in a serving dish or something....anyways, can't wait to go back! Not the cheapest, but the quality is far better than any other breakfast/brunch place around. read more

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

We have eaten at First Watch 3 times in 6 weeks and really enjoy it. Great coffee, breakfasts and service. Either just two of us or a party of six we are always well cared for. Plus the Birthday gift certificates for a free entree were a fun bonus. Highly recommended and worth a little wait if necessary. read more

My boyfriend and I love this place. The food's delicious! Our favorite is the Multigrain pancake. Ask for Anisa she's a sweetheart and an awesome server. read more

Very good place for breakfast. Good service and nice different food. Fresh pressed juices available. The crowd is nice too.

Ordered the breakfast tacos without cheese and it's delicious! I didnt want the beans that came with it as a side, the server offered fruits or potatoes instead. That was nice! Some servers won't do that. The atmosphere is very relaxing, the place looks polished and everyone was very friendly. It was a great time overall! read more

I love First Watch and have been going to them for years. The food is always so good and the service is always exceptional! I recommend it all the time and today was excited to share this new location with friends. Unfortunately, it was the worst service any of us have had. Desma was rude, unfamiliar with the menu and lacked in customer service. She over charged me for my meal but I was so irritated with her, I just dealt with it. Sorely disappointed in this location and will not be coming back! read more

The pot roast hash is the bomb! Comfortable place, better for breakfast, lunch menu is on the small side, but still worth a try. Service is competent, maybe a little relaxed.Like that they bring bottle of water to the table, & your own pot of coffee. read more

The food was really good and our server was the best.... Everyone was really nice including the manager will Def eat at this place again!

I can't believe I'm going to review a First Watch, but we have had such amazing experiences at this one that I have to. I've eaten here a few times and both times they've been so nice to us and amazing with our kids. Each time they've been quick about getting some food or drink for the kids and they've even played and talked to them. The decor inside the restaurant is modern and new and the food has been great. Most other First Watch's I've been to have dirty and old, not this one. I highly recommend, these people really enjoy their jobs and you can tell. read more

What a great find while on vacation and needing a breakfast place we could take our dog to. Service (Erin) was fantastic...friendly, fast and she was so great with our kids. Great kids menu and great prices. My husband had one of the skillets and I had the bacon, avocado omelette. Both were great. Love the inside even th I ugh we sat on the patio. Great feel. Wish we had this close to home. read more

Super delicious. Millionaire's Bacon and Classic Eggs Benedict is the way to go. Very friendly staff.

This was my first time at this location. I loved the environment, well decorated place. I am giving 2 stars due to the food and a snappy waitress. I ordered the eggs Benedict BLT and my bread was cold and hard. It was overall too salty and sour for my taste. As for the service, the hostess and majority of the staff was super nice! My only problem was with one waitress. There was a waiter that said we were his first official order (he's new and I guess it was his first day on the job as a waiter). He was nice and made great eye contact. As he was about to take our order and took out his pad to write our order, this other lady waitress came and took over. I'm pretty sure she was only suppose to supervise him. However, she took our order and did all the talking soon after. She moved quick, but she was rude. I ordered an ice tea and did not receive it. She brought the check out to us and I asked if the ice tea was on the check because I never received it. She said she'll bring it out to me, I said I didn't need it anymore since we were done eating and she quickly snapped the check and walked off. She came back, dropped off the new check, and said "have a nice day". Not once did she apologize for not getting me my ice tea or made eye contact with my mom and I. After a couple of minutes later, my mom and I spotted the new waiter with his back pack going home. Hopefully, he was going home because his shift was over, not because that crazy waitress lady sent him home. I think he would make an excellent waiter. The lady waitress was too much in a rush....it wasn't even rush hour. read more

Went there with co-workers. Service was speedy even though it was peak lunch hour. The food was delicious and a nice variety breakfast/ lunch. They made a vegan/ veggie option for my co-workers. Atmosphere was real nice and comfy. I would visit this location again for sure and check out the others around town. read more

We love this breakfast spot! Great service, yummy food, cute ambience. Their seasonal food is on point love love love them!

Not really sure what was going on here this morning, but I can tell you I have eaten at this brand many times and had a good to very good experience... Today, uh not so much. Although my food was fine, my server and the rest of the kitchen staff seemed very unhappy and inattentive. After I finished my food some other unhappy persons asked if I was OK. Far different atmosphere from what I have been used to in my "First Watch" breakfast experience. My suggestion would be to find another location! read more

Great service. Good menu with some interesting twists. Excellent place to come for breakfast or brunch. Our waitress Paula was very nice and helped us find some great places to go during our vacation. read more

Loved the design and Decor. Unfortunately service was not great to the point that my server was not making much of efforts to stay friendly . Coffee mug was dirty, my dish had waay too much breath that made me feel Cheated honestly. Breakfast was ok and spend 100dls just for a breakfast. I believe you will enjoy better going to breakfast club instead. The food menu and options are not very Well selected because here it felt that I was eating just snacks and hoping to get full with all the bread . My tip to my server was great let me say that. Because I understand it's not your fault or being saturated with so much people in there. Honestly the food is not that yummy. read more
