    Avocado Toast
    Mollie W.

    Great service by Mia, amazing Avocado Toast with a side of mixed greens, yummy Tri-Fecta and hot coffee. A great way to start any day. First Watch offers consistently good service, delicious food, seasonal cuisine and a nice diner like atmosphere.

    They give you a carafe of coffee for the table when you get a coffee. Love this! Big coffee guy and I never have to wait for refills. Deep kids menu with a coloring sheet. #Win. My meat omelette was on point. Only knock was my wife's Eggs Benny hollandaise was too lemonade forward for her (and I agreed). But overall, Awesome service and food, will firm back.

    The Traditional Breakfast
    Tee T.

    First time at the Timonium location and it is #PickyApproved I would also visit again. Customer Service-This location was slightly busy. When I arrived no one was at the register to seat me, it took a while to get seated. Once we were seated it took 15 minutes for someone to come over and take our drink order. Our server didn't realize that somewhere was in her area, asked us if anyone had been over to take our order. We responded no and then our drink order was taken. We were given additional time to view the menu as it's been a while but, I had to flag her down when we were ready. Our server was nice and pleasant. I wish we had the opportunity to get refills for our drinks or the option to be offered something else while we waited for our meal to be served and when it was served. Overall, it was still a good experience but the attentiveness could have been better. Food-The Traditional Breakfast w/ side of Fresh Fruit I love a good breakfast; this was my first time ordering the traditional breakfast. The multi-grain bread was delicious, toasted light and perfect. it also came with breakfast potatoes with onions, scrambled eggs (I added cheese), and a plethora of options for breakfast meats, I opted for bacon (requested it to be crispy). The side of fruit came with pineapple, honeydew, and grapes which was delicious and all the fruit was sweet. My only issue was that my food wasn't piping hot when it arrived, like no steam came from the eggs or potatoes. It was lukewarm but not hot, however still good. Ambiance The restaurant's aesthetics were beautiful, with lots of beautiful lighting and an option for outdoor seating. The farmhouse decor was great and the booth seats are comfy. Parking Plenty of free parking in the shopping center. The shopping center can get a little congested with traffic due to the other popular merchants nearby.

    My wife and I stopped in on a rainy Wednesday for a late breakfast. Most of the food was very good, but the service was lacking. Once our food was delivered, the server disappeared, never stopping by to ask how things were... and we wanted some water and more napkins. My chickichange with potatoes was extremely good and my wife enjoyed the avocado on toast, but was disappointed in the cheesy grits. Too much cheese, she felt. She scraped a considerable amount off of the grits.The restaurant appears updated and clean and bright. HC parking spots are available in the large shopping center lot. Restroom was small but clean and HC assessable.

    The best coffee  mmmmm

    Everything was perfect!! From the time we walked into the restaurant to the time that we left!! The food was absolutely perfection. Our waitress was a 10+ plus and the location was not crowded and was a peaceful and happy environment.

    In Timonium, MD

    This was my first time here. I was going to go to a "regular" restaurant but asked my niece for other options and she suggested First Watch. I was not disappointed. There was a 15-minute wait when we arrived but it seemed like we were seated sooner. You're notified by text. I treated a dear friend and she said she'll be back. I certainly will add it to my itinerary when I'm back in MD. My friend has a long list of allergies. She asked our server if there was cinnamon in the waffle batter. She immediately checked and returned with the right answer. No. She had a Belgian waffle with fruit, a side of bacon and lemonade. She enjoyed it and had no allergic reactions when I checked in with her later. I selected the Bacado Omelet. Yum!!!! Bacon, avocado and Monterey Jack topped with sour cream and a side of housemade pico de gallo is a plate of deliciousness. It comes with whole grain artisan toast and lemon dressed organic mixed greens. That was different but tasty and the strawberry preserves where mmm good. Tiffany is an amazing, attentive, polite server providing excellent service. She is an asset to First Watch. When I arrived I went to the restroom to wash my hands. There was paper on the floor so this review started with 4 stars. The food and service turned it into 5 stars by the time we left. I'm particular about cleanliness including restrooms. I was also impressed with how the utensils were wrapped and were clean when opened. Yep, I'll be back. Actually, I went online for the menu to finish with an accurate review and found there are several locations in AZ so I'll get to First Watch sooner than I think. Let's see if they measure up the my MD experience? :-) I'm back because all my photos didn't post. Hmm.

    My first time at First Watch and I was pleasantly surprised. Food was flavorful. The Million dollar bacon is a must get! Service & ambiance were just okay. Nothing really stood out about the decor. Very basic place but the food was the star of the show.

    The food was delicious, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the service was excellent. Everything was served quickly, making for a great dining experience

    Brisket corned beef hash
    Kiera W.

    Another yummy breakfast experience. Easily at the top of our faves list for breakfast and well worth the wait. Excited that they're building a new location in Towson because it'll be closer and could possibly cut down wait times at the Timonium location. Anyway, to start, I tried the purple haze lemonade and my husband tried the fresh grapefruit juice. Both so deliciously refreshing. The blueberry pancake was delicious but the banana almond granola crunch was wonderful. I love that the extras are cooked in the batter versus piled on top. Cooking the ingredients within boosts the flavor so much more. We also appreciated the seasoned potatoes. The potatoes were seasoned so well with thinly sliced onions. Delicious! Well of course be returning and can't wait for the Towson location to open.

The price is very comparable to other coffee shops. It's a lively coffee shop, with a ton of sitting and lots of individuals working. The employees were very nice, when I forgot to ask for my coffee to-go, they were so kind about it. I will say, my coffee definitely could have been filled up more. However, it was the perfect experience. On Mondays, I need a little extra energy and this coffee gave me the boost I needed!

They had a few solid food options along with seasonal drinks that kept the menu feeling fresh and exciting. I do wish I had stopped by during the hours the brewery was open, but hey, maybe next time. The spot itself was very clean and filled with natural sunlight, which made the atmosphere feel warm and inviting. A lot of people were there working, which was such a vibe and made it a great place to post up with a laptop. Whether you're meeting a friend or getting some work done, it's definitely a place worth checking out.

    Wow, it has been a loooong time since I have been to Cunningham's! So glad we arrived before the…read morerush because around 9:00 AM it got crazy busy. We ordered a breakfast sandwich, breakfast burrito and two drip coffees at the counter by a lovely young woman. She was very kind and had a positive attitude. Zeke's Coffee is always delicious, and our orders were delivered to our table in no time. The breakfast sandwich was fantastic, as was the breakfast burrito with turkey sausage. It was huge so I took half home to enjoy later. Alyssa was very friendly and helped me find a to-go container and also replaced the coffee that was out. Very friendly and professional employees here. Free hour parking across the street in the open lot. The highlight? Purse hooks at each table along the wall. Nice touch! It's the little things....

    Drove by this place looking for a cafe close, went to my Yelp for review help…read more The reviews were mixed but it seemed popular. There isnt available parking near. I went in and was met with soothing holiday music and friendly staff. I ordered the Seasonal Scramble with the help of the staff I was settled not to get the asian pears on my scramble but on the side. The seasonal scramble comes with home fries and multi grain toast. The eggs are made with goat cheese and some other ingredients. The goat cheese was not a hit with this. The home fries were cold. I also ordered their popular cinnamon toast latte. I was not a true fan as the coffee used is quite strong ang bitter. I ordered to go and to my suprise I see that this is an Atlas Restaurant Group establishment. Because these folks were nice, I may come back and try something else because this $18 meal was not tasty. It gave me a queasy stomach smelling and eating the eggs with the goat cheese.
