    The Traditional Breakfast
    Cristina A.

    Came here on a whim and left satisfied and full. The ambiance is chill and fresh, the space is spacious and there is seating outside available. Our server was lovely and attentive and checked on us pretty regularly. The food was delicious and the coffee was pretty good too. Would definitely come again and try the other menu items!

    Went with family and their dogs so we sat out on the patio. Nice that they are dog friendly! Host was so nice and even asked to pet the dogs which we allowed cause they're good dogs! We had Cody as our server & he was so wonderful. I ordered the barbacoa breakfast tacos and iced coffee with oat milk. Tacos were delicious! Loved the iced coffee with oat milk- as a lactose intolerant person I appreciated that they had alternative milk for me. Parking lot had enough space for plenty of cars.

    Stopped at First Watch for breakfast with my husband, was seated right away. Troy was really friendly and made sure we had what we needed. Husband had biscuits and gravy, I had the Double Bacon Parmesan Hash, For me, the parmesan cream sauce was a little intense, but Troy went above and beyond to have the kitchen remake it without the sauce. T was perfect after that. The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere was friendly. Would recommend.

    We decided to go have Easter Breakfast at First Watch! We were unsure how long the weight would be done it was Easter! But right when we got there the sweet hostess sat us down and soon after our waitress came and talked about the menu and drinks! I got the morning meditation juice WAW IT'S AMAZING! My husband got the coconut pineapple juice they had and he said it was light and refreshing! As we sat and waited for our food, we loved the whole atmosphere, clean, upbeat, fresh it was a great experience! Or omelets were very tasty! He got the chili chorizo omelet and I got the bacon cheese omelet with pico and potatoes! Both were great and totally delicious I recommend both!! All in all it was a great breakfast!

    One of the top places for breakfast. Was really really good. If they still have it - it's worth trying the blueberry cornbread! All of our food was good. Came out hot and looked yummy.

    Absolutely delicious! They have their fall menu which includes pumpkin flavored breakfast items. I tried the pumpkin pancakes and I loved the subtle pumpkin taste. The blazing dragon is a new tea made of strawberry, lemon, cane sugar and dragon fruit. Service was amazing! A great location with indoor and outdoor seating.

    Ive always been a fan of first watch but its been a minute since I've gone, decided to use my birthday discount and check out the new location that opened on Campbell. Its so cute and wasn't busy at all compared to the one on river. The service was great and the food was amazing! I love their juices and almost anything I get is always a good choice! I got the market skillet hash and morning meditation and my son got the traditional breakfast with a watermelon refresher. I would definitely come back!

    We always have an awesome time at first watch! What I really appreciate about the restaurant is how clean it is. A lot of times when you go out for breakfast it can feel a little frenzied but there's just a calm open vibe that me and my family really appreciate. I always order something off the special menu, I can't quite remember what this one was called but it was a bacon sandwich that was delicious. The kids meals portions are very generous, and we always have a wonderful time! Service is efficient and kind. Will come back!

    I love the inventive food here. We usually hit this place for breakfast. This time service was pretty slow as our waiter didn't bring our requested water until we had to remind him and the same for our bill. We couldn't get anyone's attention-everyone passed us by without making eye contact like they didn't want to have to help anyone. That being said, I loved my food. The Million Dollar Bacon is wonderful. I had the Breakfast Tacos, my wife had the Peso Bowl and my daughter had two sides including biscuits and gravy and the Million Dollar Potatoes. Lots of food. All was good except for the aforementioned service but that won't stop me from returning one day.

    We got in & seated right away due to checking in on the app. However it took over 20 min for our server to come get our order from drinks. It was another 15 before we got to order and then about another 20 before we got our food. The quality wasn't that great either & I usually love first watch smh. My potatoes were burned when I wanted them a bit crispier.

    Good spot and was able to accommodate a large group for brunch. Our server was good and so was the food. Unfortunately a friend found some plastic wrap in her dish. I would return, but it's not my 1st choice for brunch in the area.

    Smoked Salmon and Roasted Vegetable Frittata

    A breakfast place you can always count on. For a chain, every First Watch I've ever been to does a great job of capturing a homey charm to the meal. Staff are always so kind and the service is usually pretty fast. A huge menu full of the classics as well as seasonal and trendier options if you want to branch out a bit. Although it doesn't have quite excitement of other breakfasts spots in Tucson, you will not be disappointed. Frittatas, hashes, pancakes, they've got it all and they're all solid.

There's a separate building you can buy local retail, as well as a café where I ordered a dirty Horchata (not realizing it had coffee lol), a sandwich with fries, and one of the baked desserts (a brownie with something I can't remember lol). All the food was great. As a french fry lover, I have to say that the fries were fantastic! Once you order, you're able to find a place to sit, and the food is brought to you. I would def return!

For the portions though, I would say the price is a little on the higher end. To finish my friend got a tahini brownie on the way out and we found it to be very pleasant and not overly sweet. I would love to try their coffees and teas!

This is…read moreone of their two Tucson locations--the Campbell Avenue spot, with the other on Grant Road. It's a very casual place staffed by kind and welcoming students, and the food is genuinely good. The Smoked Salmon Beni stood out in the reviews, and it did not disappoint when I finally got to try it. I'll be attaching a photo, but it tasted every bit as good as it looked. I also noticed the shaved steak sandwich on the menu and in several Yelp photos, so I'll definitely have to come back and try that next. I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, friendly service and overall character of the place.

    These Pastries Should Probably Be Illegal…read more Prep & Pastry has been serving Tucson since 2014, and after eating here, I completely understand why they've built such a loyal following. This review is only about the pastries because the rest of their menu deserves an entirely separate review. The first thing I noticed was how incredibly light and airy everything was. Every bite felt fresh, fluffy, and perfectly balanced. The frosting wasn't overly sweet, and nothing tasted heavy or overwhelming. As I've gotten older, I've become much more conscious about what I eat. Surprisingly, these pastries never leave me with that "I shouldn't have done that" feeling. They're indulgent without being excessive. Now let's address the real issue... I always buy two. Not because I'm planning ahead. Because I know exactly what's going to happen if I don't. I'll eat one in the parking lot, sit there for a minute pretending I'm satisfied, then make what is almost certainly an illegal U-turn and head back inside for another. At this point, I believe the owners should stand trial in a savory Food Court of Law. Dun... Dun... "In the Criminal Food Justice System, pastry-based crimes are considered especially delicious. In Tucson, the dedicated foodies who investigate these sugary felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Pastry Unit. These are their stories." Prep & Pastry is guilty of making "I'll just have one" the biggest lie you'll tell yourself all week. Whether you're stopping by for breakfast, brunch, or simply because life is better with a great pastry, this place delivers. WIT Inspection Score: -- Truly Among the Best.

(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.

Pancakes, german pancakes, french toast, eggs benedict(s) monte cristo, omelets, croque madame, country chicken with biscuits and sausage gravy, chilaquiles con pollo, avocado toast, savory crepe, and even a breakfast pizza. Oh and they offer a few skillet options too-southwest, loaded baked potato, and sausage and peppers skillet. So many options!! I can't speak too much for lunch but I did see burgers on the menu. Not too helpful in that arena sorry. The eggs Benedict with ham was awesome. Side of potatoes with a bit of all seasoning and a side salad with awesome light dressing comes with it. The dutch baby was also great. A german pancake served savory with sausage. Huge portion. Come check this place out and make sure if you don't want to wait you call in advance when driving there and ask to get on their "wait list" you may not be able to get a reservation but you can do this.

One thing that stood out during that first visit was the hostess. Since the restaurant is located inside a hotel and can be a little difficult to find, I expected a more welcoming introduction or at least some confirmation that we were in the right place. Instead, the interaction felt a bit awkward and impersonal. We returned a few weeks later (07/12/26) and happened to be greeted by the same hostess. Unfortunately, the experience was very similar. She asked how many people were in our party, I said two, and then she simply looked at her computer without saying much else. Another employee eventually came over and escorted us to our table. Throughout both visits, she never came across as particularly friendly or welcoming. As the first person guests interact with, I think a hostess sets the tone for the entire experience, so this was disappointing. On a more positive note, our waitress was very kind and attentive throughout the meal. The service once we were seated was definitely better than the initial impression. As for the food, it wasn't bad, but it also wasn't anything special, especially considering the price. Overall, it felt pretty average for what we paid. The ambiance was fine, but nothing particularly memorable. Overall, the experience was okay, but between the lack of hospitality at the front and the food being average for the price, I'm not sure I would go out of my way to come back.
