This place is so cute and has a great vibe. I went there for breakfast on a Friday at 9am. It was pretty empty but quickly filled up. I loved the atmosphere and the menu options. Service was a little slow and the food didn't all come at once (we were a party of 6) but other than that, I really enjoyed it and can't wait to return. read more

I am a regular at First watch and love it but my experience today was upsetting and it's because I love this place that I am giving it 3 stars and not the 1 from my experience today. I called to place a pick up order and was placed on hold for such a long time that I hung up and called back 4 times before Ashlin picked up the phone, I explained my frustration and she was so indifferent it was alarming! No apology, just like "whatever" wow! It has left a very bad taste in my mouth. She needs some serious one on one training in customer service and how to handle customers that have had a less than satisfactory experience. read more

Great breakfast or lunch go to. Food is consistently good. Service can be hit or miss. Remember to bring your check to the front podium to pay or you could sit a while before your server mentions that they don't take it for you. Great waiting place while you have your car serviced at Action Gator Tire right next door. Try the avocado toast it's a favorite of mine. Juices are good. Decent cup of socially responsible coffee. Ask for fresh half and half they have it in the back. read more

Excellent place to get breakfast, the staff and management were friendly, the food was above and beyond what I expected from a chain restaurant, and the menu was really unique and had some really healthy but fun options read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Windermere, Florida

Went to new place before a movie. Have always enjoyed Firsr Watch but this visit was not pleasant. Waitress never came back to see if we needed more drinks. My food came out 10 minutes after the rest if the table. Our waitress came out and was confused as to why my food wasn't there, uh because you didnt bring it out. Never brought water for any of the table. So this venue gets a 3, get better servers. read more

This place focused on Togo order even tho they had a full house, plus people outside waiting to be seated. The food was good, don't get me wrong. But after ordering I waited 45 mins for my food, as I watched countless Togo orders be bagged up and ready to go. read more

Ive eaten here 2-3 times. Good breakfast fare and service is good. wait times are long on weekends at Fowlers Grove location due to few breakfast choices nearby. Not my favorite. read more

This is our favorite weekend brunch spot. The food is excellent. The menu is full of healthy options as well as breakfast favorites. Today, we had Brittany as a server and she's delightful. When visiting on a weekend, we suggest joining the online wait list before arriving at the restaurant which will reduce your wait time once you arrive. read more

Excellent service and the food was great. Our server was very attentive and let us know that they had a little backup in the kitchen due to so many to-go orders on Sunday morning. When our food finally came out it was hot and tasty. read more

Wasn't super hungry so just ordered an avocado toast to share with my boyfriend, and it was one of the best avocado toasts I've tasted. They give a little slice of lemon with it and it gives it that little extra flavor that puts it above the rest. The basted egg that came with it was beautifully made and not only tasted good on its own, but was a good compliment to the toast. read more

We were looking to escape the craziness of Orlando, and the concierge where we were staying suggested Tibet-Butler Preserve and First Watch as a good place for breakfast. It was wonderful. The staff was efficient and attentive, accommodating when we asked to be reseated, and the food was wonderful. We each had a variation on a hash platter. This place was a real treat. I had never heard of it (and didn't realize it was a chain), but now we'll seek it out. read more

Having a good meal as we speak. Food (avocado toast) very good but not as delicious as the last time. Bathroom very dirty, not cleaned for at least 24 hours. I will come back. Lots of room for improvement. Service very nice as usual. read more

This was my first time visiting this First Watch location and it will most definitely be my last. I live in Winter Park and I was visiting a friend and we stopped by this location around 12:30pm on a Saturday. We thought to sit outside since the weather was great and we asked the host and he said yes but none of the tables were clean so he cleaned one for us and it was directly under the sun even though umbrellas are in place, (a total of 6 tables were outside and only 2 were being properly covered) We sat at our table for 15-20 minutes before someone even asked if we needed water. We asked to sit at a table in the shade since the party sitting there had left, she told us well i wont serve you if you sit there, I felt uncomfortable her saying that and I told her I would prefer it and she said she would clean it and 20 minutes went by and we decided to move the plates and cups ourselves and sit there. Someone else came out and gave us our food not even asking if we needed anymore water or anything else. We finished our food and still nobody came out. We went inside to ask for the bill and our server said she was sorry that she had to stay inside since she got busy with those tables but she would be able to bring us our check, I told her no we're already inside. She took our payment and even gave us a $2 off coupon. This was a perfect example of a poor experience and horrific customer service. I gave it a 2 star rating because the avocado toast I ordered was delicious but the eggs were suppose to be basted and instead they were hard as can be. They can use some help in the customer service department. read more

Good okay Sat outside first come first serve completely ignored with a dirty table Asked to be serviced Got the order wrong Wrong drinks Wrong sides And then left again alone asked 3 times for receipt to pay read more

Have to say that all things have been corrected. Much more respectful and professional now. Happy about that because First Watch is one of our favorites. read more

This morning I had breakfast and it was wonderful! The service was stellar, the food was fast and fresh! The coffee was amazing! I had the pumpkin pancake breakfast and it was exactly what I expected! Flavorful, filling and fresh! It is beautiful inside! I am excited to finally have something for breakfast and brunch on this side of town! Can't wait to go back! read more

I came here twice and had two wildly different experiences. First time was great; server was attentive and kind. I had the mushroom frittata and it was perfect. Server gave me a coffee to go, which was super nice. Second time I came here I got the eggs benedict and the eggs were overdone. On the up side, the seasoned potatoes were great. My server was a ghost and barely checked on me. I put my card down and several people working there just walked by and looked at it. Then a dude walked by and said I actually had to pay at the front, which was fine. I went to the front. Stood there for two minutes. Then the same dude who told me to pay at the front came by and swiped my card. The whole charade was kinda ridiculous. I was just so disappointed in the overdone eggs because it was the one thing I was most looking forward to. I probably wouldn't go here again; I don't like being disappointed in my breakfast options when there are other choices available and the service was really lacking the second time around. read more

First Watch - Overdone eggs on a benedict. So sad. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Windermere, Florida

My friends and I had a really terrible experience. We came when they first opened, and chalked up the first bad experience to "growing pains". We decided to wait a little bit and give it a shot again today, and left with a laundry list of problems. First, the service was unwelcoming and sparse. When we received our food, they got my friends order wrong 2 times. My other friend's gluten free meal arrived different than advertised (and they also didn't seem to grasp the severity of cross-contamination). After this, we couldn't get anyone's attention to refill our drinks or even our water. All of the servers were attending other tables and then chatting in the kitchen, where I had to get up and walk to the kitchen to ask for drink refills. And now I write this review from my bed where I certainly have food poisoning, along with my friends. So no, I don't particularly recommend this restaurant. read more

The avocado toast here was the best I've ever stumbled upon so far. The lemon on top of the basted egg just is great perfection. There's also a very generous serving of avocado too. We came near the end of their lunch shift and our server seemed to be very agitated the entire time which was kind of a bust to the mood. Never smiled really and brought out our cups of water with her hand at the top touching the brim. That's just very unprofessional. read more

Merra from First Watch was extremely kind, accommodating, and considerate! My friend is vegan and Merra did all she could to ensure she enjoyed her food. First Watch has always been my favorite brunch place- but especially so when there are people like Merra! read more

I love this restaurant so much, I come all the time!! They have so many great vegetarian/ Vegan options and even if it's not it can easily be made that way. The service for most the time is excellent but sometimes it feels like you're being treated at a fast food restaurant but i know they're always trying their best. Beautifully decorated and food usually comes out pretty fast and they've never messed up on any of my dishes read more

Woah! Get it together First Watch. Slow service. Tiny portions. Giant roach outside of bathroom. I have been here multiple times and it has always been great. I don't think I'm coming back after this. read more

I get really but experience there take more of 25 minutes to get me breakfast and probably get more time if I'm not asking about why take to long to get my order so bring the order after I asking so if I'm not asking so I'm stay there forever the service is very very bad I recommend 100% better Dixie cream cafe Great customer service and Great breakfast too.I. 'm sorry but probably this new place needs improvement ,training more the people working there read more

I wish the chia seed pudding was more consistent. Sometimes it's made perfect and sometimes the pudding is way too think and the granola is stale: read more

Food arrived cold and late. The waiter informed me that itis just how they make crepes. Not sure why it took over 20 minutes to make cold crepes. Manager took it off my bill, as the rest of my party had already finish their breakfast. I will not be returning. read more

The pumpkin pancake breakfast is amazing. They should have it all year. Service with a smile and some even know I need sugar free syrup without asking! Meghan and Leah are awesome. read more

As a brunch enthusiast, I've been to quite a few First Watch locations. But this one was a step above the rest. The staff was extremely friendly, the food was delicious, and the service was fantastic. After our food was delivered, the manager checked in to make sure we were satisfied with everything. Needless to say, we were. The restaurant itself is nice and clean, with a great atmosphere. Five stars, will definitely be returning again soon! read more

I went to this First watch for lunch today and WOW! I had a Turkey Club and their butternut squash soup and they were both excellent! They were very busy when I came in however, I was sat right away and the serving staff was excellent! I was not feeling well when I walked in (I'm super pregnant) and asked if I could get some bread or an English muffin asap and it was in front of me in 2 or 3 minutes tops so I was able to take the time and pick what I wanted. Great job going above and beyond I will definitely be back. read more

Let me first say, the food is great and the servers are very nice and helpful. The problem is they are rushed off their feet. I come here regularly because I like the food, but I have always been disappointed the speed of service. Whether it's being seated outside and forgotten, being jumped in the line or being seated before but served after other people. They should have sorted this out by now. read more

Our family has attempted this First Watch twice. It's clean, servers were friendly and we were seated quickly, but I'm not sure it meets corporate standards in other regards. Both times we've come, our orders have been messed up. Today, I asked for a side of mixed greens and instead was given a side of potatoes. I ordered two pancakes both today and last time, and on both occasions received only one. My mom ordered toast which never arrived, but thankfully we weren't charged. Last time we requested no cheese on the breakfast burrito, but...it came out cheesy. More concerning is what is coming out of the kitchen. Today, a dark, curly hair was mixed into our potatoes. Last time, my avocado toast came out brown instead of fresh and green. When they get the food right, it's good. But, corporate might want to help this crew revisit basics. read more

This is a great breakfast location. The service is always friendly and the food is delicious. I really enjoy the avocado on toast.

Awesome food! Healthy delicious food. Great sandwiches and breakfast. Must do Brunch here

This isn't a knock on this location in particular, but all First Watch restaurants have THE WORST coffee. It's terrible. Like, what the hell kind of coffee are y'all using? Other than that, the food can range from okay to really good depending on what you get. read more

This is one of the nicer First Watch restaurants. But because of its openness, it's very loud in there. The food was delicious and our server was very pleasant. read more

DELICIOUS! I had the lemon ricotta pancakes which were not overly sweet. My husband had an omelette (he's your standard white guy/meat and potatoes man). My son had the child's breakfast with an egg, 2 slices of bacon, a piece of toast and a sizable bowl of fresh mixed fruit with a drink. A steal for a kid's breakfast for under $6. Our server was friendly and the staff was killing it for a Saturday morning big breakfast crowd. Everything tasked to fresh! read more

Great food! We've been here several times and the food is always great and fresh. The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because the servers, although very friendly, they don't ever stop by to check on you. You will only see them 1) when they take your order, 2) when they bring your food, and 3) when they rush past you and drop you ticket on the table- they won't ask if you need anything else- they just put the ticket down and thank you. read more

sloppy service... they are not even that busy a branch . the table was not promptly cleaned . we wrre left to fend for our own menus. no smiley faces either. putting first watch to shame ... read more

Been to this location a few times now. Love the food and the service, I just really wish they would rethink the placement of their hostess stand. It creates awful congestion getting in and out of the restaurant. There's so much room in the entrance and the stand is basically right in front of the door. Every time I've been here it's been an obstacle course and a game of chicken trying to get in and out. Other than that, no complaints. read more
