    We were nearby after playing pickleball and decided to have breakfast. This was easily down the street. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was relaxed and not too busy on a holiday.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were seated a right away and service was good. The food was good and better than expected. Overall would recommend.

    Over medium egg
    Maria Monica M.

    Our coffee served was warm at best. When mentioned, our server immediately brought us hot coffee. Our breakfast plates were mixed, as my plate was served with my husband's bacon and his plate was served with my sausage. My breakfast potatoes were overcooked to the point that half the potatoes were uneditable(see pictures). Potatoes were definitely reheated but the server assured us that they didn't do that there. I asked for eggs, over medium and received extra cooked eggs. One egg yolk was completely cooked through, the other slightly less cooked. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was clean and staffed appropriately.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was attentive to us and politely listened to our concerns. We were given a discount coupon.

    BLTE, Honey Chipotle Chicken Hash and Morning Meditation
    Zandri N.

    Just tried brunch from their seasonal menu. The double hash was super tasty and the carne asada tacos are flavourful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The last time we were here (about a month ago) we had a sticky table issue and we were sad to note that the same issue still persists.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waitress says it's just the furnishing and they're replacing it, which is probably true however our table had some obvious dirty spots and we never received a cloth to wipe it down despite asking for one.

    SoCal Breakfast Hash
    Kami M.

    We had an awesome Sunday morning at First Watch! Definitely recommend joining the online waitlist--it saved us a ton of time, especially since it gets busy. While we waited, they offered complimentary coffee, which was surprisingly really good and a nice touch. I ordered the Million Dollar Bloody Mary, and it was bold, flavorful, and came with a delicious strip of bacon--no complaints there! The Morning Meditation juice might honestly be the best thing ever--super refreshing and the perfect balance of citrus and beet. For food, we tried the BEC Sandwich, Tri-Fecta, and SoCal Breakfast Hash. Everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff was friendly, the service was fast, and they have outdoor seating too, which is perfect when the weather is nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Bonus points: you can pay right at your table, which makes things super easy. We'll definitely be back!

    Lemon ricotta
    Cristal R.

    Had the lemon ricotta pancakes. Have not had these since Covid! The recorta scoop was so delicious soft and creamy not tart just perfection. Lemon flavor was fresh and refreshing. It is a pretty big size might share it next time but it's too good to share. I ordered thru the app and it was ready on time and came with everything requested. Tastes as good as dinning inside. Staff was amazing as always and food was just right.

    Egg Benedict with smoked salmon... so good! So much flavor in the potatoes!
    Alisa G.

    This place was awesome! There was a 10 minute wait but it went fast... sat down and got coffee right away. I loved the decor and lighting and it was a nice open space. It was cool to be able to see the kitchen as well. I really loved the wholesome food- the ketchup didn't have high fructose corn syrup! The quality ingredients really make this place amazing and worth the stop! 10/10 will go again !

    Foods always pretty good and the service isn't bad. Don't sit outside on a cold day, the heaters "don't work".
