Eggs benedict
Jaime M.

Came here because I have a birthday coupon. Food was good once it was cooked right. Husband had eggs benedict, eggs were small & he had a shell in it! Other than that, he said they were good. I had the trifecta, asked for it extra hot & no parsely. It came out luke warm with parsely. Sent it back & it was great! Service was ok. And they were fairly busy for a Monday afternoon!

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.

I've been to this particular branch manny times. And many others throughout the US. Bacon to die for here, no matter if it's with I'm your eggs, on a BLT or just as a side or main dish. Staff very nice, food has always been great.

The Fresh-Brewed Iced Tea - A breakfast meal featuring two fried eggs, toasted bread slices, and roasted diced potatoes served on a blue square plate.

Love this breakfast place. The one on speedway has such good service who are quick & efficient. Food was amazing!

Avocado Toast with a side of smoked salmon.

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.

Breakfast - A breakfast plate features eggs with creamy sauce, crispy potatoes with ketchup, and a dollop of sour cream, served on a white plate.

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!

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.

Tangerine Dream - A glass of orange juice with whipped cream on top is placed on a wooden table inside a restaurant or cafe.

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. Gabrielle was a very good server, and I happened to catch the head chef. Very pleasant and attentive to customers! Good experience!

A breakfast plate featuring fried eggs with runny yolks, sliced avocado, pickled red onions, chopped green onions, and diced potatoes.

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.

First Watch at Kolb and Speedway. Ordered the breakfast skillet with sausage and mushrooms ordered my eggs over medium. Unfortunately they were over hard. This meal comes with toast as well. Still a delicious breakfast

Sunny Daze Cafe - Chorizo and eggs like my mami makes em

Was seated and greeted by the owner when we arrived. Great service. Good food. My wife had the…read moredaily special of Chile Relleno and loved it. I had the chorizo scramble and enjoyed it. Ambience was very chill and pleasing to eat brunch. Will go again when in town.

Nice restaurant. Been here a few times, some with colleagues for lunch…read more Food is good. I've had a variety of things, some Mexican dishes, some American. Did a breakfast once. I wouldn't say that it is top of the line cooking, but it is very delicious and definitely worth a visit this side of town. Parking can be a little challenging, they do share a parking lot with other businesses, but close in, there are not that many spots. Service is always friendly and makes you feel comfortable. Interesting atmosphere with flamingos galore and other things decorating the inside. Gives it somewhat of a party and fun feel. Food comes out in a timely manner even when they are very busy. Prices are reasonable. Give it a try, I think you'll like it. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

Teaspoon - Champinones Al Ajillo

Teaspoon is one of the best overall restaurants in Tucson…read more I've been here a few times over the last year or so. It has never disappointed in service, quality or taste. (well once in taste, but I'll get to that) They have great in-house made items. Like the Challa bread, the preserves, their pesto. They most certainly know what they're doing. I had unseasoned filet mignon once, I believe it was the omelette. I talked to the manager. Now I wasnt upset, didn't send it back, I just told them what I experienced and mused that I found it odd the cook forgot a simple thing like salt. The manager acknowledged my complaint and that was all; or at least I was fine. Nope, she came back with a to-go box of croissants topped with cream and berries as an apology. They were tremendous by the way. She didn't have to do that. The ambiance is it's only weak point, but even that is minor. Simple black is fine. It's modern feeling and doesn't stand out loudly. They have outdoor seating, which early in the morning is fine, but id avoid in the summer, which will likely mean you'll be waiting, depending on the time. Oh! I forgot to mention, they have very good drinks. They really are intentional about the blend of flavors, they have a little something for everyone. All in all, I cannot recommend this place enough. It's been a shining star amongst Tucson restaurants and I am grateful they exist. Even to how they organize their menu partly by flavor profiles shows they genuinely LOVE food. I love food too, and I love here. Try this place. Today.

I ordered the lobster and crab omelet and found it under seasoned and devoid of much lobster or…read morecrab. As a whole, I feel like the side pairing of challah toast with jam and butter is an odd choice. I also ordered the iced Thai tea, which was quite weak. Overall--I wasn't really feeling it. When you go to Teaspoon, you're really paying for ambience over quality. There's no issue with the service here, from hosts to wait staff. The food is simply underwhelming, and thus so is the experience. I wouldn't be mad to return, but I don't know if this would ever be my suggestion.
