    Maple Bacon CroissantSandwich!!! So good!!!
    Kathleen V.

    I'm talking about the Maple Bacon Croissant Sandwich. I tend to be adventurous in my eating. I wanted to try this New Breakfast Sandwich at First Watch, but I was hesitant, because I don't care for bacon. Ordering this Maple Bacon Croissant Sandwich was the BEST decision I've made in a while. It was delicious, down to the Bacon Maple jam. I strongly recommend you giving this a try. The pickled jalapeños were not hot, slightly spicy, and added the perfect touch. This is a MUST EAT!!!!

    Farm stand breakfast tacos

    First time at this location. It was University of Arizona's parents weekend so the place was packed but we expected it. The gentleman when we checked in said it was about a 25 minute wait however we ended up waiting about 35 minutes to get seated. Credit to them when we did get seated they were relatively quick to get our food out to us. The food was delicious. Ordered the breakfast tacos and million dollar sandwich. Only complaint was that the million dollar sandwich left me still a bit hungry as it wasn't very big. Overall, nice place tasty food!

    This location is my favorite one. The atmosphere is open and inviting. The bathroom was clean. Had a great server whi resolved an issue for my wife order quickly with the manager. My order was good and hot with fresh greens.

    Elevated Egg Sandwich

    We just had a very pleasant experience at this location for Easter brunch! Although they were packed we had no problem getting sat quickly, we opted for the bar since we were just two people. Our server helped me decide on the Elevated egg sandwich and I was not disappointed! The million dollar bacon is a great side to share because there are 4 slices of sweet goodness. I love that both our drinks came with a lil extra. This location has a good parking lot and a nice patio with pretty views of the mountains. I definitely enjoy this location for convenience and stellar service.

    A great name for a breakfast place! A bit of a wait but worth it. I had the lemon ricotta pancakes. Super yummy. My daughter had the Pesto Bowl with a side of First Watch Potatoes (home fries). We each had a tasty iced coffee drink (Honey Crunch and Mint Mocha). This is a very popular place and there are several locations and they have breakfast, lunch and dinner. I'd love to come back and try this place for lunch or dinner one day.

    Iced Honey Caramel Toffee Coffee

    The service was excellent. Our server (nice young lady) greeted us with a smile and was very personable. I had the honey caramel crunch iced coffee less caramel so it wouldn't be so sweet. It was delicious. The food: Elevated egg sandwich w/potatoes served on a hamburger bun with mayo, (not my preference as I'm more of a mustard kinda girl, but it was light) over medium cooked egg, avocado, lettuce and bacon with a lemony dressing. It was a good size so it was filling and delicious. The potatoes were good but not cooked to my liking (cooked thoroughly & crispy) they were cooked on the outside but just enough on the inside to be edible. They were seasoned good though. The Barbacoa chilequiles were delicious and the presentation was spot on. Overall, good experience and the food was good.

    Chicken Quinoa Bowl
    Mandy T.

    I came here for lunch on Tuesday and I can say that their food is consistent between locations. I tried the exact same 2 dishes and they tasted the same. I had the Salmon Eggs Benedict and first noticed the hollandaise sauce was very lemon-y. Overall the dish with potatoes was really good but not super filling. He ordered the Pesto Chicken Quinoa bowl for lunch and it was delicious but again, not super filling. The Mango Passion Palmer was too sweet.

    Biscuits and gravy, two over easy eggs and potatoes.

    Food was good. Service was good. Nice environment to go have breakfast or lunch with a friend or loved one.

    First timer to a First Watch, I thought it was a great establishment, one I would return to and recommend. We almost didn't go because from the outside, the restaurant did not grab our attention, but when you walked in it was an open and airy place with a farm style ambience. The service was friendly and helpful on the food recommendations. The food was quality, fresh and tasty, no one was disappointed with their meal.

    When we travel we like to try different places. I always check out reviews. All I have to say Wow! Food was delicious . Service was fast and everyone had great customer service skills. Place was clean and nice vibe. Totally recommend this place if your in the area.

    Classic Benedict with potatoes.
    Robbie H.

    Second time here and I thought I'd give it a follow up to my first time but at a different location :). I'll break this down in categories. Food: Great! Tasted super good and I was quite happy with my selection of choice. No funny business of any kind but just good tasting Benedict's! Temperature: Came out just right and I thoroughly enjoyed it came out rather fast. Atmosphere: I believe this location just opened not long ago, lots of new things inside and the place feels very spacious, open and welcoming. Server: She was nice, I came with a group of co-workers, so we had a decent size group. I don't think we saw her much but that's because it started to pick up a bit and we were good for the most part. Value: I think I'd knock this down a bit just because it's still a bit pricey for "breakfast food" but these days everything is expensive. I think the portion sizes are decent for the price but felt you could get a bit more for what you pay. Recommendations: If you just want a wholesome/fancy breakfast that looks pretty and taste pretty dang good! This place is it. Aside from the value everything was great. Will be back sometime soon.

(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.

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.

The staff also were kind enough to move one of our chairs out of the way so our dog had lots of room to lay down. Staff were all very kind and never seemed annoyed with the dog (you can always tell at a restaurant if they are, and they were very happy to accommodate him). Very dog friendly!! The food: We gotta talk about their French onion soup. It was pretty dang delicious! The broth itself is quite nice, a nice cheese portion, and the baguette was divine. I also had their French Connection sandwich (with a side of fries), and it had a great combo of ooey, gooey cheese, firm and flavorful ham, and served on a really delicious loaf. Really solid fries, too. We didn't end up getting any drinks but saw several people ordering yummy looking bites. If (but likely when) we come back to Tucson, I'm making a point to return to Cup Cafe!
