I never realized this location was so close to a family member's house. We usually end up at the Grant location but glad we found this one off Speedway. We were able to get seated right away, which is unusual for a First Watch. The service was friendly and the restaurant was neat and clean. I love their morning meditation juice. It always tastes amazing and brightens my day. I tried the steak hash this time. Also, a new fan favorite for me. We will definitely visit this location again next time I am in town. read more

Went in for a late breakfast. It was pretty busy so I sat at the "community " table. A good place to sit if you're single and want some company I guess! However these days people have their heads buried in their phones! Anyways the food was delicious as always. If you haven't been I would recommend going. They serve mostly healthy options for breakfast and lunch. The staff is very friendly and I have never had a problem here. And I love the modern farm house vibe. No complaints and will return soon. Now it's your turn! read more

Great go to breakfast and lunch spot. The service is always great. The ambience is nice and clean with a modern farm house vibe and the food is dependable and consistent. I tried a new fall item the Maple Bacon Croissant Sandwich. It was good but a bit too sweet for me with the maple and jam combo. The pickled jalapeños helped cut the sweetness but they were on the spicier side for my pallet. I found a good medium taking some off. You could really see how ooey gooey the cheese was though. Love that! And the potatoes had onions and fabulous seasoning. Cooked just right. They offer a nice menu from breakfast to soups and salads, sandwiches and quite a few healthy options. They have juice bar specials, boozy drinks like bloody Marie's and mimosas and coffees as well. Nice patio, chill music, lots of seating at tables and large booths. Pay at counter. read more

We had Breakfast at First Watch the food was incredible, our server Kassandra was incredible, the best ask for her @ the Speedway location

Been here plenty of times as my two friends love this place and I have come to love as well. This was on Dec 14, 2025 . The avocado toast here was good ! Service as great- immediately seated me while I waited for my two friends to walk from their car parked at a good distance away. It was a Sunday around lunch time at 11:30 a.m. and full up with a long line we had out front. Took about 35 min - normal and I had waited on a bench outside - worked out well. The other two did not need to wait since they seated me and waited the few min it took them to arrive. All good on the service all around. Our server was attentive and kind and was professional. Busy and that has the noise level a bit loud to be able to converse too much but food consistently good. Only negative was parking on this day , but the server gave us a tidbit for next time on where to park for shorter walk for my friends- nice and we will do it next time! read more

First Watch - Friend's favorite place to meet up! - Cafes Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Food was excellent, service was terrible. Had to try to ask for everything if we could even get her attention. Other servers were happy to help. Even had to try to stop her after we were done and plates cleared, by someone else, just to get the check. Again, food was great. read more

I came here for brunch and was very pleased with my experience. We were greeted and helped right away. The workers were very friendly. Our food was served fairly quickly and was DELICIOUS. My mom and I were very pleased with our orders. The servers were also accommodating in letting us know about gluten free options as my mom has a gluten allergy. I appreciated our experience here and can't wait to come back. read more

I think this is just the best place to have breakfast in Tucson. Anytime we come to town, we came sure this is where we go. I have nothing bad to say besides my waitress forgot my to go cup (LOL). The restaurant is always clean and everyone is always extra kind! I would recommend coming in early because the wait could get heavy. I like this location because it's near main roads and there is a lot of parking. I think the quality of food is phenomenal. And my favorite is the potatoes! The seasoning gets me every time. read more

We arrived at First Watch on E. Speedway Blvd, Tuscan, AZ for lunch. They were getting ready to close. The friendly manager invited us in and made us feel comfortable. We ordered tomato and chicken rice soup first. Tomato soup was great. Chicken rice soup was a little to think for my liking. Next was a turkey club and a roast beef sandwich. Both sandwiches were very good. I find the food at First Alert is always very good. $$ to $$$ pricing. We had coffee which was 3.50 for a bottomless cup. The staff was cleaning up while we ate which did not bother us. Our waiter took good care of us. Food came out quickly. No complaints. Plenty of parking. Take credit cards with no surcharge. Enjoy this location. A nice place to eat. read more

First Watch - The Fresh-Brewed Iced Tea - Cafes Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

First impression of the place is wonderful, there's ample parking, indoor and outdoor seating are great; even their black board menu is very nice. The servers were both attentive, the only downside was my avocado toast, it tasted sour from too much lemon. I had to remove the avocado from the toast to salvage what's left of my meal. It tasted more like lemon toast than avocado toast. Other than that, for the price it's not worth it. read more

I used to love this place, husband and I went for breakfast, I feel that they don't use fresh cracked eggs anymore, just the bag eggs, they were overcooked and cold, the toast wasn't really toasted, and butter was "slapped" on, not spread. Overall the food was horrible, we will not go back, staying with our local breakfast spots. read more

The speedway and kolb location is the worse. Today we waited 15 min, no service came, and then others served before us after we were seated. THIS HAS HAPPENED every time we go to this location. Today we decided we were done with them for good. The broadway location sucks too. The food is just okay. With the hassle of bad customer service and mediocre food- plenty of other places to eat in Tucson that have customer service. read more

First Watch is hands down one of my favorite spots for breakfast or brunch in Tucson. The vibe is warm and welcoming, with friendly service and a cozy atmosphere that makes it perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying a quiet morning. I ordered the Chickichanga and was blown away--so flavorful, with the perfect balance of savory and spicy. Their fresh juices are also a must; I tried the Morning Meditation and loved how refreshing it was. What really stands out about First Watch is the quality of their ingredients--you can truly taste the freshness in every bite. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty omelet, fluffy pancakes, or a lighter acai bowl, there's something for everyone. I appreciate that they offer healthier options without sacrificing flavor. This place gets busy, so I recommend going early or being prepared for a short wait--it's absolutely worth it! Read the full write up on Casa Saguaro's website! read more

food was good, but the bloody mary was so awful i couldn't even drink it. do not ever get a bloody mary here, they are terrible.

Our first visit was a good one! We got a free kids meal coupon so we came for the first time. Our server was very kind and attentive, she was very sweet to my little boy! My daughter got a chocolate chip pancake, and I got a salmon frittata and both meals were very good! The ambience is very relaxing and it's a good place to just come with friends, family, and even kids. read more

Excellent customer service!!! They still accommodate my requests for Benedict Florentine even though it's not on the menu anymore. I also tried the tangerine dream beverage off their holiday menu and tastes like a better quality version of a Dreamsicle ice cream bar. Yum.

Still hating First Watch! Broke my tooth on a piece of something that was NOT FOOD!!! I've spent waaay over $2500 and my tooth is still killing me. The managers told me they would take care of it but corporate said NO!!! Can't even pay for groceries this month cause I had to pay the dentist. What bad people! read more

I received the wrong order. Rather than check and acknowledge that the order I received was incorrect, the server insisted that I told her that I wanted my eggs as pictured (below). Only to finally check, and then tell me that the wrong order had been brought to me. read more

I've eaten at multiple First Watchs' in Tucson and Phoenix and it's always a good experience. The ambiance and decor provide a relaxed, comfortable environment and my go-to meal, the Farm Stand Breakfast Tacos (wheat corn tortillas with scrambled eggs, Cajun chicken, chorizo, Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses topped with fresh avocado, house-made pico de gallo, black beans) and the Morning Meditation juice (orange, lemon, turmeric, organic ginger, agave nectar and beet) always hits the spot. read more

Today we ate here for the 1st time. We were a party of 5 and only wait about 5 min to be seated. Food was so delicious! Love the fact that their mimosas are not pre made and the champagne is served in champagne bottles. Service was amazing. Our server Tori was an amazing server. She was happy and cheerful. She knew the menu so well and recommended tasty options . Will definitely visit this place again & visit the beautiful tori. read more

Great place to go for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. I can always find something here that I like. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, I always feel welcome when I come in. I particularly like their blackberry iced tea. Whatever they use for it reminds me of real blackberries, and I haven't found anything quite like it at any other place. read more

Good food, service and overall atmosphere. My wife and I always go for our birthdays in June.

No pets even on the patio outside? There are too many other breakfast places where I can sit outside with my little dog. Plus, it's a bit expensive for what you get. read more

We like this chain and the service is great. We like to eat out weekly for breakfast. First Watch has a good menu and usually services great food. However this particular restaurant has a problem with their home fries. According to the waitress they cook their home fries early and put the in a draw to keep warm/. The problem is if you eat breakfast late the potatoes are partially burnt and have a burnt taste.. This store had this problem for years. They started putting more thermometers in the drawer and changed their rules to check on them periodically. However this restaurant for some reason consistently fails to do that so they have burnt home fries after 10AM. As they know it's a problem it is doubly bad that it continues. read more

Breakfast with a good friend and plenty of hot coffee. Stopped into this location for breakfast they open at 0700 and the waitress let us in a little early. (It was cold outside) service was quick and with a smile. Good breakfast at a fair price. The tri-fecta, this is one of the few places that still serves waffles. Crisp and hot with just the right amount of butter. Eggs done over easy and just right crisp on the bacon. Well prepared and nice presentation. Will keep First Watch on the breakfast list for stopping by. read more

I was a HUGE Good Egg fan. Literally went every weekend, staff knew mine and my husband's names, would have our order in when we sat. It was the best! So I was sad when First Watch bought The Good Egg and updated the menu and changed the vibe to be more hip. I honestly have maybe gone to First Watch 3 times in the years since the change, which I think was in like 2015? I was bitter and there was a plethora of other good local breakfast joints opening. We decided to give this Speedway location another try recently and while nothing could match the warmth and deliciousness that The Good Egg gave me, we had a great visit. Ordered the tradition breakfast and it was hot, fresh and yummy. (Didn't have the local hot sauce the good egg had, but I subbed with Cholula). The service was decent, the food was good and I left happy. We've been back one more time and it was equally as good. I don't know if I'll be a regular here, but for now, I'll add it back to the list of breakfast options. I also appreciate the option to check-in before arrival online. One star off (probably closer to a 4.5, but that isn't allowed) because it did take forever for us to get beverages and both times I've gone, the toast was left too long before being buttered so it wasn't melted. And I love good melted butter toast ‍ read more

Me and my daughter always come here after any doctor appointments she may have that is right across the street. She loves the chocolate chip pancake. It's huge and delicious. They bring a bottle of warm syrup to your table to go with it. I always get something different, this last time I got the ham and gruyere omelette. It was really good, it came with that and potatoes. I am really a hash brown fan so I really wish they had hash browns as an option. I also got cheesy grits and they were just ok. Fast service and our waiter was great. read more

Basic breakfast food. If you want good breakfast go to Baja cafe...they have eggs Benedict and actually put eggs on your breakfast sandwich.

Wow, I wish we had found this place sooner. We are on our last day of vacation and have eaten several different places. This restaurant has so many choices that you can literally eat something new for days. The presentation, the uniqueness of choices and the authenticity made for a perfect breakfast. Our server Kristen was a stellar employee, she offered several suggestions and recommendations. Very pleasant experience. We'll be back next visit for sure. read more
