    First Watch is truly wonderful, and the Woodlands location is just a great experience every time. The service is consistently great, the seating is comfortable, and the food is reliably good. The blueberry pancakes are my favorite, and their coffee is just right. This place is well managed and seems to be doing everything right. Five stars for a worthy spot.

    Elevated Egg Sandwich
    Gregory M.

    Great service and fresh tasting food. Excellent for a Sunday brunch. The bacon is crispy with a full flavor. I would recommend the elevated egg sandwich and the market hash.

    The B.E.C LTO breakfast sandwich so flavorful!
    Kimmy R.

    I haven't said this in a while but if I could give this place 10 stars I would! Yes, it's pricey but well worth it for the portion size and quality of ingredients you get and most importantly the flavor!! So. Much. Flavor. From the lavender and fresh mint in the French toast to the aiolis on the breakfast sandwich everything was bursting with complex palate pleasers. And don't even get me started about the breads! The challah was so so good and so was the sourdough and both expertly cooked. All the fruit was super fresh as was the arugula and the bacon was crisp and thick. The OJ was fresh squeezed and the best I've ever had! And I was born in Florida so you know I'm serious about my OJ lol! I'm impressed is an understatement! I can't wait to try this place again! Superfoods bowl anyone?

    Went for seasonal menu it didn't disappoint!! We got Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast Chimichurri Steak & Eggs Hash,Bacon egg cheddar sandwich. My favorite was Chimichurri Steak & Eggs Hash so flavorful will definitely be back for that also honey caramel crunch coffee is so good very sweet but everything 10/10!! Service was good too

    Pineapple Express
    Jacob C.

    Was lucky to indulge In the most exotic looking French toast I've seen in my life, and I KNOW French toast. The subtle floral aroma of the lavender butter kindly settled in my mouth and complimented the berry compote. The blueberry compote was nothing out of the ordinary but not average by any means. Felt like I was swimming in a syrupy pool of money with the million dollar bacon. I love the sweet n spicy combo here. The Pineapple Express was also very refreshing yet not too sweet, so it was an easy drink with all the sugary syrup I had between my dishes. I believe all my meals were from the seasonal spring menu so go check it.

    Honey Caramel Crunch
    Kim D.

    Devoured the elote breakfast burrito. Absolutely packed with sooo so much flavor and bits of potatoes, eggs, cheese, beans, and meat. Their serving is large (photo shows half of the burrito) so do take note. The honey caramel crunch is really sweet too, I think I would have preferred it with less honey but anyone with a sweet tooth would love it for sure lol. I've dined quite a few times here and I always leave satisfied and happy! Service is great too and there's a lot of space, though it seems like they're always busy so make sure to reserve a table or come in early when needed.

    Shrimp & Grits (sans the ciabatta)
    Jamie M.

    First watch still remains pretty consistent with their quality of food. I've not had a meal here I haven't liked. Gave their shrimp and grits a go around today. The shrimp ratio was on pair as were the sautéed vegetables. I was appreciative of the minimal amount of butter as I've had shrimp and grits where my shrimp are swimming in butter and really that's all you can taste. They forgot my ciabatta bread but nothing a quick reminder couldn't remedy. They give you a water and coffee carafes to refill your drinks at leisure. I'd say they need to deep clean their industrial dishwasher and it's leaving residue on all their water glasses which was a bit off putting. Overall service was great, you can pay from your phone via QR which allows splitting of the ticket as well.

The atmosphere was amazing, and they were playing Spanish rock!! If you're not familiar with it, don't worry -- it's chill, not loud or heavy. Think Caifanes or Maná, and if it's not your vibe, you can always bring your own headphones! :D Now, onto the food: as someone who loves matcha, the matcha here was really good!! But the avocado toast is the reason why I'm writing this review. I first visited about three weeks ago, and I still can't stop thinking about it. Not to sound corny, but the flavors literally exploded in my mouth. It wasn't your regular avocado toast, so I was a little scared to try it (especially because of the tomatoes), but after the first bite, I felt like I was about to start levitating. I honestly don't know how to explain what it tasted like, but just know that it was delicious! The only small critique would be that it's a bit on the pricier side, but honestly not by much, and the quality makes it worth it!! Overall, you should totally visit this place at least ONCE in your life!!

If you're looking for something lighter they do have simple crepes just with fruit toppings and your choice of Nutella syrup or dulce de leche. They also offer breakfast favorites on brioche buns. (And I'm sure I saw waffles, didn't order but I think they do) Some of the drinks like lemonades are from the machine along with your choice of sodas. For cocktails that's made and brought out to your table. The hot chocolates looked delicious and I'd like to try next time along with their other hot beverages of lattes and teas. Tables were clean quickly and staff are pleasant and always smiling. Great for breakfast brunch or lunch. A plus is the outdoor seating area for a cool morning or afternoon. Not alot of walking traffic so it's nice to sit outside and enjoy your meal.

The vibe is modern and stylish--very "cute," as my wife would say. We were seated right away, and the staff were kind and accommodating throughout our visit. To start, I ordered the Bondi Blue Protein Smoothie while my wife went with the Laird Latte--both were easily 10/10. The kids had orange juice that tasted like it had been freshly squeezed right at the table. For breakfast, my wife chose the Sunshine Burrito, and I had the bacon, egg, and cheese croissant (with extra chipotle mayo on the side). The kids shared the blueberry pancakes with a side of bacon. My wife mentioned the burrito could have used a bit more seasoning, but overall the food was a solid 9/10. I especially loved my croissant, and the kids were big fans of the pancakes.

But they pride themselves for their coffee. I need to ask their Barista next time for a recommendation. 5. Cleanliness - dining area and restrooms are always clean and well kept. Good job team for keeping this place in tip top shape! SUMMARY: This is an Australian inspired restaurant from Melbourne, Australia. You can tell by the verbiage in their menu! My wife and I love this place, and we recommend them for breakfast. We will definitely be back.

Black Walnut uses the Pay Before Eating concept which I have mixed feelings about. It makes me feel like I'm at a fast food place but the food is anything but the usual stuff most fast food places serve and in all my times eating here the food has been very good. It just seems odd to order at the counter and pay first. I think the idea is that it is faster for staff, a server will bring you your food and refill drinks. And on the plus side, you don't have to try to get the attention of your server when you are done to get a check and pay.; you just get up and leave. I kind of wonder if their servers get the same kind of tips as they would if you paid at the end. OK, about our lunch. It was very good. We shared the Spinach and Artichoke Dip, very creamy with good flavors. They offer a $12 lunch special with 5 or 6 choices, a main and one side. Not bad for $12 but we opted to order something from the main selections.
