    Popped in today, Sunday, for breakfast. It was busy but we were seated immediately and our food came fast. We got the banana nut pancake and skillet. To drink i got the purple haze.

    Stopped by while traveling based on a friend's recommendation. We truly enjoyed ourselves. The restaurant was clean and fresh with a modern cozy environment. The staff was efficient and friendly. We took our servers advice and tried both the morning meditation juice and the new Tangerine juice topped with cold foam. Both were delicious, however the tangerine edged out the other as our favorite. For entrees we chose the seasonal Parmesan hash and the pesto protein bowl....with a side of million dollar bacon (because, when in Rome). Highly recommend both dishes.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Farmhouse Hash

    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.

    The Traditional no meats extra potatoes
    Seina T.

    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.

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.

The line was really long, so we used the iPad they provide to place our order. We selected a matcha, but the iPad never gave us the option to choose between hot or iced. We assumed it would come iced, which is our mistake for assuming. When our order came out, the matcha was hot. We went inside and politely asked if there is any chance we could get it iced instead since there was no option on the iPad. The owner herself took the drink and remade it, which we appreciated, but her attitude toward us after was unnecessary. She told us that next time we should order directly with them because we just "wasted their cups" and so on. We apologized again and explained that we would have selected iced if the iPad had actually given us that option, but she didn't really acknowledge what we were saying. What made the experience more disappointing is that I work in coffee myself, so I understand what it's like when things get busy. I chose Barista Del Barrio out of all the coffee shops in the area specifically because I'm Latino and wanted to support a Latino-owned business. I even tipped when I placed the order on the iPad, so I was disappointed with how we were treated over something as simple as an ordering-system issue.

(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.
