    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.

    Friend's favorite place to meet up!

    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!

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

Yum! Unfortunately, we arrived too late on Friday morning (around 11 AM) for the pastry case, which was completely empty. Bummer! For my main, I got the smoked salmon Benedict. It came with potatoes, which are kind of like smashed potatoes. They were crispy and soft at the same time, which I love. The hollandaise sauce and salmon were delicious as well, this was a great benny. I got a couple mimosas, but my favorite was definitely the prickly pear. It's such a Tucson classic. Staff here were friendly and attentive as well. My only nit with them is that we had originally made a reservation for the location on Campbell and apparently they were closed and didn't bother to tell us even though we had a reservation. We only found out because we were calling to see if we could change our reservation. Not the best customer service.

My friend tells me they have a turkey sausage option for those who don't eat pork sausage. Our waitress was very friendly, kept our waters filled and checked in on us often. All our food was well prepared and there were plenty of left overs. My mocha cold brew was full of flavor and not too sweet with lots of that coffee flavor shining through. So glad I ordered that with the optional whipped cream on top! Thanks to our friends information we received a military discount on our order. We won't see our friends for a while and we sat at the table talking. After paying our tab the waitress let us know we could stay to visit and offered to refill our waters if wanted. Very sweet.
