    Enjoyed breakfast this morning at First Watch. Had to get the Million Dollar Bacon, didn't disappoint. I chose the Bacado Omelette, with potatoes, and my wife chose the Salad/Soup Pick Two, having the Chicken Avacado Chop Salad and the Tomato Basil Soup, all of the food was quick to come out, and delicious. Alanna our server did a good job of checking in on us. Recommend stopping in.

    Tangerine Dream. This was an (apparently) limited time type of juice at the juice bar!

    This place gives people a unique experience! They have meals here for breakfast lunch and brunch, all different than the norm for dishes but tasty as far as I've had. They also have a juice bar with some switched out to give the chance to try other new juices! This place is great. Don't come around the week end if you are concerned about noise. It is also not as packed if you avoid days like Friday. Hope if you want to taste unique dishes for a nice brunch or breakfast you check out First Watch. It is worth the try!

    A rare event for us to dine at a restaurant in Springfield. We were running out -of -town errands and wanted brunch and ended up here. Nice for parking (coming from the city this always feels like a luxury). Our service was stellar and the place is nice with spread-out tables and booths and lots of light. I ordered the breakfast sandwich, my daughter ordered the brisket hash and we shared the skillet cornbread. My sandwich was ok. I didn't alert my server, but the avocado tasted over- ripe so I scraped it off. The brioche was a bit soggy and the egg didn't really run. The potatoes were good, however! My kid's brisket hash was decent but no "wow" factor. This is an ok place to get brunch. It wasn't delicious but it definitely wasn't terrible. I am aware this is a restaurant franchise so perhaps relying on the brand is a thing. It just didn't taste that fresh which was a bit disappointing.

    Plenty of parking in this strip mall My family raved about First watch so I had to check them out. Glad I did ... breakfast was so good and portions are huge. We got there by 830 which was perfect. Looks like it can get busy Service was good. Felt a bit rush when the check was dropped off while we were in the middle of eating. Then waitress never came back That is my only con. I'll be back for the breakfast

    Their BLT with lettuce, tomato, avocado, and bacon. It was YUM!!!!

    THIS. WAS. YUM. The food here was awesome! I got their BLT, and it was SOO good! The salad that I got was ok, and their juices were yum as well. The service was good, but the building was pretty cold and was very busy, so if you want to eat here, expect to wait some time. Then, I had to go to the bathroom. I kid you not, THE HANDICAP STALL WAS SOOOO BIG!!!!!! It had its own sink, baby changing thing, toilet, and so much room! It was very nice inside but the lunch menu is small though. 8/10 do recommend for a nice brunch.

    What a great addition to my area!! I don't have many fancier breakfast spots around me (fancy as in not just typical pancakes, waffles, eggs, omelets, etc), so was so excited when I saw this place. Service was top notch and the food was delicious. My kids had regular pancakes and the chocolate chips ones. I had the lemon ricotta ones. Oh man, were the pancakes so fluffy. It has a nice crisp but so soft on the inside. I ordered a side of chicken sausage with it (needed something other than carbs on top of carbs). It was definitely on the list of top chicken sausages I've had. My husband had an omelet. I had a bite of his and the mushrooms that they served in it was sooooo good. They weren't the typical flat mushrooms, but they were large and very fresh. Wish it came with more mushrooms in it. Can't wait to go back and try other things

    Food and service were really great. The prices however are a bit steep for the portions. Ambiance is nice and clean, can get crowded on weekends.

    Both service and food have been great the few times I have gone. I tend to stick with the "The Works" omelette with extra mushrooms. Oh man, the mushrooms are so flavorful and taste so fresh. I could eat these all day. I also order a side of their chicken sausage. Mmmm, drooling! Other items I have tried are dishes from either my wife or my kids and they never disappointed them or me. Definitely a breakfast spot that I'll always come back to.

    My husband & I came here for the first time & we will be back! For the appetizer, we ordered the million dollar bacon. The bacon was crispy with a hint of maple syrup? It was good but for the price, I can make it at home. My husband ordered iced coffee & brisket corned beef hash. The entree was good but not enough brisket. Potatoes were crispy & nicely seasoned. I had the purple haze lemonade. It was very good compared to Turning Point in Media. I ordered the chickichanga, served with seasoned potatoes & fresh fruit. It was filling! Chickichanga was filled with whipped eggs, chicken, chorizo, green chilies, Cheddar and Monterey Jack, onions and avocado rolled in a flour tortilla. It was topped with vera cruz sauce & sour cream. The sauce was so yummy! For dessert I ordered the Carmel crunch cinnamon roll to take home. Anyone with a sweet tooth should order it. The carmel was served warm on the cinnamon roll & it was sprinkled w/Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. The roll was very big & I shared it with my husband. Everything we ordered came to the table in less than 15 minutes. I think that was pretty fast. Nothing to complain about here. Will be returning for more yummy food!

    Front- Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and Purple Haze.  Back- Watermelon wake up and A.M superfoods bowl.

    Nice atmosphere and attentive, friendly staff. The Purple Haze drink was really good. I also got the Lemon Ricotta pancakes. It's huge, other places are too conservative with their pancake sizes. Always felt disappointed at other places. I like how the ricotta is mixed into the batter. Pancakes were moist and cooked perfect all around. Syrup came out warm for easy drizzling. Would come again and again for the pancakes. Haven't tried anything else yet but maybe next time!

    I popped in here to grab breakfast before heading home to MD. The server was very nice and…read morepleasant. After I ordered the food came pretty quickly, and it was excellent. I had the BLT with avocado and every part of the meal was excellent. The toasty bread was crisp and had a really nice texture; the egg was cooked just how I asked; the bacon a perfect balance of crisp and chewy. I asked for an extra side of avocado (I'm all about getting my fiber) and it arrived at the peak of perfect ripeness. The home fries were tender and savory. Also my cappuccino was delicious. The dining area was very clean and had a faintly rustic feel. The bathroom was also sparkling clean. I was in and out in less than 40 minutes, too, but never felt rushed. There were plenty of vegetarian options. I'm not too sure about it if you have to avoid dairy or gluten; the menu has a lot of that. Handicap access was pretty good: no steps to get in and out of the place. Honestly I can't wait to visit here again!

    Dish Ordered: Omelette Visited With: Friend (Breakfast)…read more Service: 9/10 The service was excellent. Our server was sweet, helpful, and very attentive. She gave great recommendations and made the experience even better. Interestingly, both visits we had the same server, and she was consistently kind and welcoming each time. Food: 8/10 The food was very good. On my first visit, I wasn't a huge fan, but the second time was much better. The eggs were cooked perfectly, and my friend really enjoyed her meal as well. I would definitely recommend the food. Ambiance: 8/10 The restaurant has a cozy feel. It's a small space, so it can get a bit loud when it fills up, but the bathroom was very clean, which I appreciated. Overall Experience: A- Great food and a great experience overall. If you're looking for a quick breakfast spot with family or friends, this is a perfect choice. The staff is friendly, the food is good, and the atmosphere is cozy.

    I was back in Philly for work and wanted to check out a breakfast/brunch spot that I used to love…read more Unfortunately, things were different this time. FOOD: The breakfast burrito was not good at all. They put huge chunks of raw onions and green peppers in it. I had to pick them all out. They should cut them small and at minimum sweat them down a little. Those are 2 products that should be used sparingly due to their powerful flavor. It was also supposed to have bacon in it, but there were only a few teeny tiny pieces in it. By "few" I mean like 4 bacon bits in the entire burrito. Based on the size and the taste, I think they actually used a jar of those little red salad dressing isle bacon bits. I have a good palate and struggled to even taste the bacon. I even pulled 1 of the 4 bacon bits out and ate it on its own & it tasted like nothing. Unknown if that was because it was so small or because it wasn't real bacon. SERVICE: They sat me at the bar, but I didn't get a server to come greet me for almost 10 minutes. But I do acknowledge it was very very busy so I wasn't too concerned. ** I probably just ordered the wrong menu item. I do not recommend the cowboy burrito. However 9 of the 10 times I've dined there it was a good experience. The place was packed on a Wednesday morning. So obviously people love this place. ____________________________________________________________________ GOOD: Those little Jewish Apple Cakes were the same as they always were. I still enjoyed that.

    Came for coffee and a piece of cake. I like the interior and the service was great. The coffee was…read moregood and they refilled several times. The cake though was a dry mess. The waitress gave us samples but I ordered a piece. May be back for breakfast or brunch.
