    Market hash, juice and corn bread
    Rachel A.

    Always love visiting First Watch - [[HIGHLIGHT]]the decor of the restaurant is cozy and bright[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], the service is always fantastic, and the food is delicious. A perfect spot to get a hearty breakfast / brunch that won't make you feel gross and over full. Their juices are delicious and I highly recommend getting the blueberry lemon cornbread for the table! When I go, I usually get one of their hashes - seasoned potatoes with roasted veggies, fresh eggs and cheese. This was my choice for my birthday breakfast this year and it was such a good way to kick off a new year of life.

    The B.E.C

    I enjoy eating at First Watch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The establishments are always clean and the service is always friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I usually order the A.M. Superfoods bowl, however, this time i tried their limited time menu item the B.E.C (bacon egg & cheese). It sure was an interesting spin on the traditional B.E.C sandwich, but i did enjoy it. I think it is a nice addition to their menu. There are peppers on the sandwich which gave it a nice surprise to the traditional sandwich.

    Farmhouse Hash, Chimichurri Steak & Eggs Hash, Power Wrap

    First Watch is one of those brunch spots that you know will always be very busy and full but that's because their brunch menu is absolutely delicious. I recently tried their seasonal menu Steak chimichurri hash & I loved it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is cute and cozy![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    First Watch here in Windmere is such a whole in the wall. The food is always amazing and fresh. Service is always on point with [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance of this fine establishment giving off the vibes of family and love.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thr new seasonal menu is a hit along with its Blueberry Lemon Cornbread & B.E.C

    Came to this location after a very early flight arrival, arrived just after 7am. Was greeted immediately and sat promptly. Coffee is served in your own tables pot so refills are easy; btw the mugs are a good size which is nice. We ordered off the seasonal menu which was a vast selection; we got "The B.E.C." Sandwich which was nice but the bread was a little on the greasy side. Came with a side of spring mix which I didn't eat as salad for breakfast is not my thing, would have like a choice for an alternative. Service was friendly and prices were on the high side as two sandwiches cost us $40 without tip.

    First watch for my boo and I is a FL fave. Quick, healthy (or not), unique, it's a regular favorite. We know what we are getting. Great coffee, and I love that they keep a pot at your table (like ihop). The server mistook our order and was apologetic and got our second round quick and it was nice a fresh. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It can get busy but it's open and spacious and not too noisy so that is very nice... despite the crowd it doesn't feel like it at all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I like their quinoa bowl... healthy and nutritious

    Turkey Sausage with Turkey sausage gravy and biscuit along with scramble eggs and home style potato's with hot sauce!!

    From the time Yessine made eye contact he made me and my wife feel very welcome and he engaged us, His service was stellar and I would request to be served by Yessine in my return visits.

    Salad and cheese grilled panini !
    Maria T.

    This is the perfect place to get brunch for the weekend or just a healthy lunch on a busy workday. Their food is always super tasty, fresh and very creative. I like going here and ordering either at salad Panini or the specialty of the season because they put extravagant cheese, different greens and seasonal fruits. If you get a cake only get one because they're pretty big. The staff and servers are always extremely nice and they try to accommodate all requests. The atmosphere is very family and friends oriented, is peaceful and relaxed... really with the feel of gathering to enjoy a nice meal! I like to go every time I get a chance

    Traditional breakfast

    Great first time at First watch in Florida! Can't wait to try it back in N.C. Thank you the experience

    Trifecta breakfast
    Belkys C.

    This place is clean and the breakfast is yummy. My favorite is the trifecta with waffles! The service is overall good.

    Solid. Open. No wait at 9am on a Wednesday! Loved the prompt service, immediate coffee needs met and the order taken when we were ready. Why can't all places be like this? Meals came out quickly, just like we ordered. Why can't this always happen? Server checked on us frequently but not overly hovering- enough that if we needed something we could ask before being impatient! We got the standard breakfasts - fresh cracked scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, potatoes for me and grits for hubby. Fruit jam was good. Go back? Certainly! What's not to love about this? Withholding a star for that exceptional memory of something fantastical.

    I have been on a huge First Watch kick; I can't get enough!! I will often pick up breakfast on my way home from the gym or when I'm just being too lazy to cook in the morning. My go-to favorite is their avocado toast. I've had a lot of different avocado toasts but theirs is just amazing!! Their giant pancakes are also great and my boyfriend's fave. I also love their kale tonic. I am always a little skeptical the first time I try juices because I am picky with them, but theirs is so good and such a great alternative to my morning coffee! The atmosphere here is great. I haven't sat down to eat because it is always packed (for good reason), but the inside is so cute and has a great vibe. Picking up after you order on their website is super easy as well. My food is always right there waiting for me! I have never had a bad experience here and I highly recommend!

    Carne asada hash is definitely worth trying, a lot of flavor that mixes well. Our waiter Yassine brought everything we needed and was quick.

    Central Florida locals know that we are definitely lacking in cozy, authentic diner experiences…read more.. So when I first discovered Dixie cream Café, I was so excited. I'm from the Midwest, so have been to many a diner breakfast growing up. This spot is so sweet and cozy, with warm yellow walls and art everywhere. it feels like stepping into your mom's kitchen in 2003 (and I mean that in the BEST way). They have an extensive breakfast menu, and I've ordered a few things from it, and I've never had an unsatisfying meal. The staff there is so kind, and while you can definitely expect a bit of a wait in the weekends for a table, you never have to wait too long on your food. So thankful to have this local gem close to home for those days I just need a good small town breakfast experience!

Everything came out hot, fresh, and tasted like good home cooking. The biscuits were especially fluffy and delicious. We ordered the Farmhouse Scramble, Breakfast Hash, and chocolate chip pancakes, and everyone left happy. My son has an unwavering love for hot chocolate, even in the middle of a Florida summer. As soon as he spotted it on the menu, he had to order one. Our server asked if he wanted it "sky high," and we all kind of looked at each other and said, "Sure?" We had absolutely no idea what was coming. When his drink arrived, we couldn't stop laughing. It was a giant ceramic mug overflowing with hot chocolate and piled high with marshmallows, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and sprinkles. It definitely wasn't on our breakfast bingo card, but he was absolutely thrilled. It looked incredible. I'm pretty sure the sugar crash hit shortly after breakfast, but it was worth it for the excitement alone. The staff was genuinely friendly, the food was delicious, and the whole experience was memorable. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area again and looking for a great breakfast.

There were employees working next door for several days who were extremely loud & frequently calling on their phones, which made it difficult to relax. Overnight parking required an additional fee, and the hotel also charges a destination fee on top of the nightly room rate, which significantly increased the overall cost. During my stay, the sink got clogged, and I also experienced multiple bed bug bites across my body, which was extremely concerning & uncomfortable. Update: I added a photo of the pool closure notice that we received on the day of check-in.

It didn't personally bother me, but the lobby was completely stripped down, just an FYI. My room was nice though, and I had no issues during my stay. I'm assuming the construction was the reason it cost a very low amount of points to stay here, which I couldn't complain about! If you're going to Universal, the location here is perfect. It's a quick and easy walk right into the park. You can literally see the sign from right outside the hotel! If you're hungry, there's a TGI Fridays next door. Consider this a cost-efficient hack to staying on property.
