    Birthday Breakfast on opening day!
    Kimari C.

    Came here on the grand opening for my mom's birthday and had a blast! It was beautiful inside, well lit and nicely decorated with "real dinning room tables" as my mom said. The gladly accommodated our balloons and flowers and served with excellence! The place was packed, just like the Grand Prairie location usually is! Food was great, even though they didn't make me or my aunts eggs how I asked. She sent them back but I didn't feel like hassling with waiting ... only thing I would NOT recommend is the sangria pitcher, it wasn't as tasty or promising as the regular mimosas might have been! I think it was a seasonal drink though so you won't have to worry about avoiding it long term!

    Potatoes and Carne asada breakfast tacos...
    Will R.

    This was my first visit and I accompanied my wife who had been once before to another location. The place was packed both inside and on the patio. I knew then I was in for a treat. Business like this means the food must be good. My wife told me on the way that I was in for some deliciousness and she was right. The food came out hot and fresh within about 20 mins which was extremely quick for a packed place. The food arrived hot and everything looked wonderful. I had the carne asada tacos and they were absolutely amazing and it tasted so fresh.My wife had the Lemon ricotta pancakes and said they were amazing. I'm not big on lemon except in my tea and I must say I was surprisingly shocked at how good they were. There was something about that lemon that tasted like it was made with fresh squeeze lemon juice. I really don't know what to say other than I would order that for myself next time we visit maybe. The mint mocha coffee was just as amazing as the food. The service was just as good as the food. This is really good food ya'll and if you haven't tried it you are missing out. The menu options are also all along the healthy side so I loved that. Thanks for coming to Waxahachie because we needed a restaurant like yours in town.

    Biscuits and turkey gravy and million dollar potatoes
    Chris C.

    Starting off me and my wife ordered coffee . I got the cinnamon toast cereal milk which was a first watch version of espresso martini. 10 out of 10!!! Need it again is all that needed to be said my friends! My wife ordered the honey caramel crunch that was a little too sweet and honey kind of overpowered the caramel but it was decent 5/10 from me. Service was also amazing , we sat at the bar and were attended to immediately and frequently! The scenery wasn't too much had spacious seating and also outdoor seating needless to say it met our "vibe " needs. Now for the food.....i ordered the biscuits and turkey gravy with million dollar potatoes and i must say those biscuits and gravy were like night and day compared to some gravy I've had with PORK SAUSAGE! The biscuits and gravy was a 9.8/10‍ EASY MONEY. Now the million dollar potatoes were also very good but had a hint of sweetness i personally could've done with out that either came from the bacon or a cream sauce they had either way very good 9/10. My wife ordered the skillet hash that was i. My opinion one of the best breakfast options ! Savory, balanced and filling! Everything you could ask for in a hash ! I'd give that a 9.6/10 overall my experience with first watch is a 9.8/10 definitely will BE BACK AGAIN.

    Traditional breakfast
    Cathy Y.

    Delicious food and amazing service! I was excited to try Waxahachie's newest breakfast and brunch spot, and First Watch did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly and welcoming host. Our waitress was just as kind and accommodating, making the experience even better. I ordered a freshly squeezed orange juice, and she thoughtfully came back to let me know it was taking a little longer since it was being squeezed right then--such a nice touch! I went with the traditional breakfast and upgraded the potatoes, which came out hot, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. The crispy bacon was the cherry on top. Yes, First Watch is busy (a good sign!), but the atmosphere is comfortable and inviting. It was absolutely worth the wait, and I can see myself coming back many times.

    This review is a hard and sad one to type. Wife and I love First Watch so we were very excited to get one in Waxahachie. As you tell from the pics the food came out looking extremely delicious. The coffee was very good but could have been hotter from the carafe. Water was served with no ice. Now the food. I had the Chimichanga breakfast and the wife had the chocolate chip pancake. I was surprised that there was minimal hollandaise sauce on the changa. Took my first bite and utter disappointment. Cold. Not warm. Not luke warm but literally cold. Like out of the fridge. The potatoes were slightly hard. Needed about 3 more minutes of cooking. The manager was kind and had a new plate fired up for me. It came out steaming and with plenty of Hollandaise sauce. The flavor was awesome. Even on the first one the flavor was awesome. Unfortunately this time around the grilled onions in the potatoes and the changa were burnt and they cooked the outer husk of the onion and both items were loaded with it. I just ate it all. Now my wife's pancake was excellent she stated but was served with a little dollop of butter for a huge 10 inch pancake. Our waitress was sweet and obviously a greenhorn but she did what she could do to make it better. We paid and checked out as the manager checked us out. Note: not one asking if the meal was pleasant or good. But, he obviously recognized us as he handed me a "Buy One Get One Free" card for our next visit. I would have given a 4 star if it wasn't for the burnt onion husk all in my food.

    Great menu stopped for brunch. Omelet was tasty and service was great. The appearance is totally different from the old place.

    Omelette and French toast
    Leah L.

    Worth the hype? The ambiance was calm and has a beautiful aesthetic. The service was delightful, our servers had a great sense of hospitality. As for the food - everything was good, only item that deserves any extra credit was the French toast. Just a nice restaurant for a casual breakfast or brunch, and family friendly.

    Biscuits and gravy with eggs and potatos

    Came back today for our second visit, and if its possible, the food was even better! Super friendly staff as well. My wife had a delicious looking bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich called the BEC. I got biscuits and gravy again, bc I am a creature of habit. We both got a side of potatos. Everything was so good. Love how they leave the coffee pot on the table, and bring a pitcher of water.

    I dream of that chia pudding!

    This was is AMAZING! So many diverse choices! This is probably my favorite place to eat in all of Ellis county now! My husband and I decided to try it for a morning breakfast date and we are so glad we did! The juice was AMAZING! The appetizer was amazing! The chia pudding was phenomenal!! Our main dishes were tasty from start to finish! The service was great too! T not

    Came back again and honestly left even more impressed. What stood out this time was how well run…read moreeverything is. The space is immaculately maintained, thoughtfully organized, and clearly managed with care. Even a tiny, barely noticeable mess was handled immediately--with signage up and everything addressed so seamlessly. It sounds small, but it speaks volumes. So many places today feel understaffed or chaotic, and we've all learned to excuse it because running a business is hard. That's exactly why this place feels special--it's staffed, prepared, and genuinely on top of things. You can tell they invest in good management and actually take care of their space and their team. The matcha was excellent (again), and the staff were calm, warm, and incredibly professional. I witnessed a customer being a bit rude, and the way the team handled it--with grace, patience, and zero tension--was honestly impressive. The vibe here just feels happy. You can sense that the people working here enjoy being here, and that energy carries through the entire experience. Thoughtful, polished, and consistently lovely. This place continues to set the bar.

    This is an interesting coffee shop located in the middle of a plant nursery. The coffee was decent…read more I got the strawberry colada with sparkling water and a season caramel apple crisp coffee. The service was fine. The baristas were professional and quick. The thing that puts it slightly above average is the ambiance. I love that it's coffee... and shopping for plants. It's a really nice touch and a fun spin on a coffee date. Everything is reasonably priced. Pretty standard to other coffee shops
