We were fans of First Watch when we lived in Kansas City so we were very excited to learn one was opening up near our home. We tried it out today and it did not disappoint. The service was great, everyone was very friendly, and the restaurant itself is very cute. The food way very tasty and satisfying. We had the breakfast tacos and the avocado toast and they were both very flavorful. We were also able to try the new fresh juices they offer and they were delicious! Ice cold and fresh - perfect compliment to our meals. We look forward to eating here again! read more

Great place for breakfast or lunch or heck, even brunch! Especially brunch... for a lunch treat, get the Monterrey Club - you will not be upset that you joined that club! read more

I stopped in thinking this was a little Starbucks like cafe but was very pleasantly surprised to see that they were so much more. They are a full restaurant with such friendly staff and an amazing array of fresh food to offer. I only had time to grab an iced coffee this morning but after chatting with the wonderful ladies up front, I will definitely be back again to try their delicious food as well. read more

Extremely disorganized hostess station. Seating everyone out or order. Kitchen was extremely backed up even though restaurant was half empty. read more

Nice quaint place. Designed well inside. The breakfast omelette with goat cheese and salad on the side was pretty darn tasty. The wait staff was a little slow as I had to go and get her a few times to refill my coffee cup. But all and all nice location for breakfast joint. read more

Don't worry, they didn't forget the syrup this time. They just forgot the toast in my to go order...and a few times before that, the jam, which luckily I checked myself and caught before I left.... Can you guys please start checking your to go orders before bagging them, especially if you guys are slow that morning. Still come nearly every Friday and love the food, just...the little things. read more

I had pumpkin pancakes here last weekend that were amazing. This was my first visit. I liked the ambiance - it's a lot bigger inside than it looks from the street. Had a bite of my friends Mexican omelet and that was great too. Will definitely head back! read more

Wow. What's happened to this First Watch? We came in Sunday morning at 11:00, and was put on a "20 minute" wait list. We counted 3 other groups( of 2 or 3) and 15 open tables( half of which appeared to have been cleaned). When I inquired why the patrons were not being seated, I was eventually told that 2 busboys called out. Yet, we watched waitresses/waiters standing around gazing at customers with no sense of urgency at all. It appeared no one wanted to clear & clean the tables. When a waiter QGgmyelled at the host to clean a table, the host angrily swiped food and paper onto the floor. The irony was there were clean tables where customers could have been seated. Perhaps those tables were not in the area of the idle waitresses, and thus, no concern to them. Deplorable display of customer service, in any case. In my youth, I worked in restaurants. When shorthanded, we sucked it up and did whatever had to be done. Here, it appears no one is willing to go beyond their job description. Management should take notice. read more

Their food is great; but can't in good conscience give my patronage to an establishment that employs people with such an appalling insensitivity to those with disabilities. I was there earlier today for brunch and I literally overheard who I presumed to be the manager poking fun at one of their OWN staff members who, I presume was hard-of-hearing because she was wearing a hearing aid. I overheard him say "hey, can you hear me!?", and the other servers joined in to laugh at her. They LAUGHED. I was so disgusted that I almost spit my food out so I could just pay my bill and leave. I have friends who are deaf and there's nothing amusing about the challenges they face. I think it's widely agreed that there is enough ignorance and petty bigotry floating about in this world as it is, I'd really prefer NOT to have to deal with it while I eat. Thanks, but no thanks. read more

My boyfriend & I went in for the first time and had the best brunch ever. At first, we didn't know what to order but thankfully we had the best server who helped us out. Ian kindly recommended some of his favorites so we decided to go with the avocado toast which was amazing & the steak & eggs which was so good also. Loved the customer service, Ian constantly checked up on us to make sure we were good on drinks & didn't need anything else. Our first experience went great! Thank you so much to Ian who was the best server & made our experience wonderful! Will definitely be back & ask for Ian! read more

This location always has consistent fast and friendly service. We were able to secure our place in line by using the waitlist on Yelp, cutting the wait time down to little to no time at all. The food was a reasonable price, tasted good and the service was even better. Overall a good family spot if you're being a little lazy and don't want to cook Saturday breakfast/lunch. read more

My favorite place to grab a quick, wholesome lunch without breaking the bank. Their Kale Tonic is . Great daily soups. Delicious salads. The entire menu boats of some healthy and delicious food items. read more

I could not wait to come home to write this review. I will say I have not been to a First Watch in years, so when I saw how convenient this location was to us today I decided to check it out. Now I understand that we were there about an hour before closing, but in no way should that have effected the rate in which the hostess could seat us and or ring us up when leaving. She grabs our menus to seat us, then proceeds to stop and have a conversation with a waitress that was ending her shift. They felt this was a good time to talk about the hostess's road trip. After being seated we are greeted by a waiter that was not attentive. I don't need a social hour show, just some basic attention. From only getting one serving of water to serving me the wrong meal. Trying to get his attention to fix the error, was a chore. I ate my side salad that was warm because they served HOT chicken on it (gross) At this point I am not feeling like a winner by no means, and still a little hangry. The server brings me the right sandwich in a to go box. The bread was heated. Not toasted like you would expect on a club sandwich, but heated. It was mushy looking and pretty much useless to take with us. We go to pay for this wilted, hot and wrong meal and the same young girl that sat us must have stepped in some molasses because I have never seen a young seemingly healthy person walk so slow, she finally makes it to the register, doesn't ask how was it, how you doing, nothing, swipes our card, puts the receipt in front of us, tells us to sign it as she is walking away. Really? again, I don't need to make a friend, but my gosh how about displaying a little bit of customer service. In summary, their lunches are warm and soggy and the customer service was just soggy. read more

Second time eating here. Food is good, but the service is just awful. 8 tables with 7 wait staff and still the service made a Burger King employee seem overly willing to help. read more

This place was amazing. It was recommended by a friend and they talked so highly about it, we came the next day. The lemon ricotta pancakes and avocado toast was absolutely delicious. Eric was a friendly server that loves the food himself so he was great for making personal recommendations for newbies. This is one of my new favorite places in all of Phoenix for breakfrast/brunch. read more

One of my favorite little breakfast places. Our server was right on top of everything in the food's fantastic every time I come here. Who doesn't love a good breakfast! read more

The avocado toast picture got me in. Ordered 2 over easy eggs on side to go with it. Fantastic, i would return for sure to try rest of menu.

I'm not typically a fan of breakfast chain restaurants but First Watch is very close to where I live, and I've heard good things about their other locations so I decided to give it a try. I've been here twice so far and have learned that their menu varies from their other restaurants which makes it seem less corporate and more local. Each time I've visited the wait was around 5 -10 minutes, not too bad for a Saturday and Sunday. They offer a large array of breakfast and lunch options, and specials that are seasonal. I tried the avocado toast on my first visit and my husband had the chikichangas. On my second visit I had the veg'd out omelet and my husband had the turkey burger. We both enjoyed our food at each of our visits, my dishes were simple yet tasted delicious and fresh. It's nice to have a casual and reasonably priced option in the Biltmore area because there are very few around. They also have healthy options, so when my husband wants to indulge (which is most of the time) and I'm trying to stay disciplined this places offers something for both of us. First Watch stands out among the other breakfast chain restaurants, I will definitely be adding this into my rotation. read more

First Watch - Avocado toast with over easy eggs from the summer menu - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I ordered their traditional Eggs Benedict. The meal was very disappointing. The chibatta bread was very tough. The holandaise sauce was watery and was probably made from an instant. The processed ham was not of high standard. The potatoes were bland and under cooked, The meal was served on a plate that barely fit the meal. The plate was so small that trying to cut the food caused spillage on to the table surface. I recommend that you try some place else for breakfast. read more

Today we were lucky enough to be one of the first guests to try out this little gem! I have to say I am a breakfast snob, and am tough to impress, however, they succeeded with flying colors. The service was impeccable even considering it was a soft open training day. The chickichanga breakfast burrito was amazing. The coffee was fragrant and bold. I applaud these guys on a great start. Will definitely be back! read more

Love this place! We went twice this past weekend. The menu is excellent, the staff is super friendly, and the decor is inviting. So glad this is close to home!! read more

The staff is always friendly cheerful & glad to see you. Food is fast fresh & delicious whether it's to go or you eat there. Coffee is sometimes a tad too bitter, and they don't have Dr. Pepper....What?!?. Free plentiful parking. read more

Awesome place for breakfast, absolutely yummy food, excellent service and beautiful atmosphere. Definitely would come again!

This is part of the Good Egg Franchise, I recognized the menu. I had a nice meal, it was very fresh and received fast, friendly service. The quality of the preparation was actually a little better than I usually receive from Good Egg. It is a good location but I can see where parking could be a problem. I saw at least four restaurants vying for the same small parking lot. read more

Probably the best breakfast place I have ever been to! So many healthy and delicious options!! Clean, adorable place! I will be back for sure. read more

We went here for brunch and had a variety of dishes on the menu. Everything was delicious! This place is very people friendly, has a great variety, and outdoor seating if you wish! read more

I usually come here once every two-three weeks and the wait gets longer every time. This last week I went with my boyfriend after making a reservation, and was not seated until I asked 17 minutes later because it seems they forgot we were even there. They seat us outside with menus, all is fine until they don't come back to take our order for 40 minutes! And we had to ask! Even when we asked they make us wait longer. The people next to and behind us came after we were seated and had already finished their meals by the time we even got actual service! The food was okay but if I have to wait an hour-an hour and a half when I make a reservation with someone else present, there needs to be better customer service. I understand that you might be busy but busy enough to ignore customers that have been sitting around for an hour? I was starving! I will not be coming back because of this experience. read more

This place is awesome, Arcadia atmosphere without the Arcadia wait. At least for now. I'm sure as good as this place is, it won't be long before its 1-2 hours to get in for breakfast. Highly recommend the Chickichanga, absolutely delicious. Their kale drink is really good too. It's a hidden away quiet place that's great for kids too. Highly recommend. read more

Food was good but it took over 40 mins for us to get our food. There were people that got seated after us and got their meal before we did. I mentioned this during our checkout and they gave us $2 off our meal. Big deal! read more

This is for the location at 32nd and Camelback. The food was 3-4 stars. The service - ZERO. Almost 45 minutes for a water and an omelet. The waitress - don't know her name - but tall, long dark hair and 4 months pregnant, terrible four months, waiting for gender reveal, etc. on 4/4/19. How do I know this? Because she stood talking to friends at the table next to mine for 15 minutes. Never brought drinks. Never checked to see how food was. Never brought check. Do not eat here if you want any kind of service at all. read more

Amazing nutty bread and homemade jam. Eggs were perfect for my mother and myself having two different tastes in egg preparations. Chicken sausage was a little fatty and the potatoes were missing that char flavor I like, but overall, great food/atmosphere. The customer service was great. Def get the maple bacon! read more

Food is good. Needed to add salt to everything for flavor. Service was horrible! Took 10 minutes for waitress take our drink order. Took another 10 minutes to get drinks. We had to ask the cashier for our ticket as we didn't see our server after that. Don't go if you're in a hurry. read more

I remember I used to come here all the time with my friends back when I was in high school. This was always or go-to breakfast spot because it was the ideal place for us to go. Great food, great location, great service. I recently came here again and nothing has changed. Everything is still spot on and impressive still one of my favorite breakfast places to visit. Love it!!! read more

Today I'm having the pumpkin pancakes with sausage patty eggs applesauce and like always excellent service

Awesome breakfast or lunch find. A new spot, three weeks old, here at 32nd and Camelback. We walked by last week and I'm glad I returned for lunch. Was torn between the Chef Salad or the Chorizo Omelette. Went with the omelette and it was terrific. Only thing I wished for was an espresso which they did not have. read more

Delicious, fast, and inexpensive! Not very often do you find those three words in the same sentence. Love this place for lunch. They have great lunch specials and the staff is super friendly and fast. They have a great half and half special for $8 and everything is wonderful. Their butternut squash soup is awesome. I will definitely come back again. read more

Such a excellent selection of food. Kim was our server she was amazing. They have fresh options and the eggs are all cage free. The place is set up very well and I like how you pay your bill at the front instead of having the server deal with it. read more
