    Wild Berry Lavender French Toast
    Liz L.

    A little disappointed. I tried the new spring menu, and honestly... not impressed. The Lavender french toast was pretty, but the flavor was not there? Didn't get much lavender at all. And the baconado was overpowered by sour cream just a little too much. Guess I'll sit this season out and wait for the summer menu!

    I got one of their seasonal specialties with steak and it was hard to chew. I was like rubber. The plate did look pretty and the flavors came well together but was bummed by the steak.

    Stopped in for some breakfast. We were greeted and seated immediately. Our waitress almost instantly was at our table with coffee. I got the mimosa which was good, you get a mini bottle of champagne. I ordered the waffle with bacon and a side of their million dollar potato's. The waffle was delicious, light and fluffy. The bacon was perfect and crispy. The million dollar potato's though just weren't good. I was hoping they'd be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside but the majority of my potato's seemed undercooked as they were pretty hard. Super disappointed with these. The cheese sauce on top was okay tasting. My wife got the bowl and she said it was good. Overall I would come back. This is a nice location, clean place inside and good service.

    I don't like par cooked potatoes. They need to be cooked all the way through. Service was good. Food needed a little help with seasoning.

    The "elevated" breakfast sandwich (minus bacon). It's half mayonnaise, slimy, and gross.

    The food is OK, but it is worse every time we get it. I don't think I'll be back. This was the first time in like 6-8 months, after the last underwhelming experience. The elevated breakfast sandwich is anything but elevated. It looked down right disgusting. It did taste OK but nothing compared to how good it was (and looked) the first time I got it a couple years ago. I've stopped ordering the avocado toast, it's also gotten much worse over the years. The avocado portion is tiny now and bland, the toast isn't actually toasted anymore or is soggy by the time I get it, and the portion seems to shrink and shrink. For what it's worth, my husband's power bowl seems pretty consistent. It's much smaller than it used to be, but it looks and tastes about the same. If this review seems harsh, it's because I'm just over it. I've held off rating again, because I hoped the bad meals were an off-day. It's been at least four "bad days" in a row.

    Busy place. Nice patio dining available. Bring a jacket always cold (not complaining) inside. See pics for food it was delicious and came out quickly. Great coffee with refill pot on the table. Place is always clean. Servers always tentative to your needs. Go once a month when in town for an appointment.

    Hot Chocolate (Purple Haze, in the back)

    Coming from Orlando, where there's always an hour wait for any brunch restaurant, it was such a relief to come to First Watch in Winter Haven and be seated right away -- and this was on Christmas Eve! First Watch is a chain so, as far as decor goes, it's fairly standard. There was one piece of art on the wall highlighting Winter Haven's famous water-ski pyramid, which i appreciated. Everything looked bright and clean. Service was great! I have no complaints. Our waitress was friendly, quick to offer refills, and check on us. I ordered a Hot Chocolate (very yummy) and my husband ordered a Purple Haze with an Immunity Booster Shot. He can't say if the Booster Shot helped, but the drink definitely tasted good. There's a wide selection of breakfast, brunch, and lunch options whether you prefer a sweet or savory meal to start your day. I had the Pesto Chicken Quinoa Bowl, which was super filling and tasty. I'd get that any day. We also ordered a plate of the Gingerbread Donut Bites -- they were a little too sweet, but they came out so warm and soft that we couldn't help but eat the whole plate! Overall, I love visiting this First Watch anytime I'm in Winter Haven and I'd always recommend hitting them up for a nice meal anytime.

    French toast with a side of potatoes

    We came for late brunch and the food was good! The cinnamon rolls had a citrus taste to them, they were good just not for us. The service was quick and the restaurant was clean! We had the sangria and the French toast drink (I think that's what it's called?) all great! We'd come back if we're ever in the area again!

    Oh my goodness!!!!! Best place ever! I know I'm fat but I'm in a weight loss journey and their power breakfast bowl with quinoa and lots of protein was perfect! My partner got a sandwich. The environment felt like a diner mixed with a beef o Brady's lol .The service was amazing I'm telling you if you feel bad about yourself the girls will lift you up the second you walk in! Thank you from the spooky bitxh*

    Side Two Eggs, bacon , waffles with fruit compote

    Delicious food, great service, healthy meals. I highly recommend it. Pancakes, waffles and juices were so good!

    Mimosas and bloodys.
    Eli C.

    Cool interior and outside eating area. We got bloody Mary's and mimosas. Very attentive wait staff and fast food to table. They have million dollar bacon that is candied bacon and delicious. Food was great. I got the eggs Benedict which was good. My only complaint was the hollandaise was too lemony and not very rich. Overall good spot.

    Can't wait to eat
    Christina V.

    I love eating here. This place is too boujee for my husband. Since I work from home I rarely go out to eat for breakfast unless it the weekend. Since I had a doctor appointment near by I woke early purposely to eat here. I love their juice's, pancake, & egg Benedict. Today I opt for an egg Benedict with coffee. The server was nice and the place was so clean.

    Thats that me EXpresso! Hah, this unassuming store front in a strip mall boasts some buzz words…read moresuch as expresso (not espresso) on the windows. When you walk in, the place is quite empty. She has a few coolers to display her Cheesecake, but some a completely empty. Now the cheesecake does look good, but we came for the Coffee! We were in the area and found this. They have a variety of flavors to choose from and actually, she made a mean latte. I was quite impressed! I was a bit skeptical, due to how the placed looked on the inside but having a real espresso machine was a good 1st step. I had a vanilla latte which was delicious. Also the prices were fair, just over $5 for the latte. I wish i wasnt full and would have tried some cheesecake! Next time maybe...

    New Place for us!…read more FAMILY COFFEE & DRINK ADVENTURE!!! Saw this place one night next to the Hibachi we always go to in Winter Haven, check out my review for Hibachi Express winter haven, Fl. Was super excited to bring my wife here the next day as it was her Birthday and she LOVES COFFEE!!! To keep it short It's a nice place, things are pricey, especially the Cheesecakes and it was just ok in comparison to other Winter Haven Coffee Hot spots - Haven anyone??? We were going to do coffee and cheesecakes for a Birthday Breakfast, but WOW, the cheesecakes were like 8 something a slice and they are small for the price. I don't care how good they are they are not a good Food to Value in my pockets opinion. We were there so we got drinks. 1 medium caramel macchiato for the Wife and it was very caramel sweet, not a good ratio in her opinion. We ordered a cappuccino, quad shot espresso, that I was charged for 2 espressos for instead of 1$ per extra shot like most other places. 2 Teas and it was over 30$. All the drinks could have been better. None of us really enjoyed them. Got the Fam some cake pops for 2.25 each everyone said they liked them. The service was good, only 1 kid working by themselves and it did take time for the drinks to be made. Luckily no one else was there so he was able to focus solely on our order. They were also out of a few different drinks the girls wanted first, so they had to choose a tea that was not really the best. My little one had the frozen hot cocoa and they enjoyed it. All in all we would most likely only stop back for coffee if we were in the area. It is a Sunday and we want coffee out, but not good enough to drive past our go to's for coffee on the other 6 days. Cheesecakes looked good, but for the price of 3 slices. I can buy a whole cheesecake and add my own toppings. AS ALWAYS, TRY IT FOR YOURSELF!!!

The staff were amazing, informative and customer attentive. The wife got a pumpkin chai tea and absolutely loved it. I got a Kratom tea Red and honestly it is the best one I have ever had. No back taste that makes you curl smooth and tasty!!! After chatting with the staff and being informed of all the weekly events they have going on this may become one of our... We out the house without the kids places to go. They have seating everywhere even outside for smokers. The environment is very clean and inviting. Drink to coat ratio is on par for teas, but the taste is higher than most. For the kratom it was a great price 24oz for 14$ is really getting your monies worth!!! We will definitely be coming back. AS ALWAYS TRY IT FOR YOURSELF!!!!

    I've always driven by this place but never thought to stop in until I saw their menu on DoorDash. I…read morefinally went in one night and I'm so glad I did. Now I regularly come here. They have a great drink selection including coffee, tea, Kratom, kava, and beers. It's such a chill spot to just have a drink and relax and vape if you're into that. It's not smoky and people aren't blowing ridiculous amounts of vape smoke. As well as being a cool place to hang out and relax, they have trivia every Wednesday at 7. They have a huge selection of vapes and flavors. Service is always on point.

    If you want a break from Legoland food or are in the area for another reason I highly recommend…read moreLucille's. I told the waitress to tell the boss they need to give the chefs a raise to keep them! We left Legoland on Sunday because they close at 5, plus it was raining. Lucille's had good reviews so I said let's try it. I love sitting outside so I envisioned some sort of patio area, sure enough, they had a beautiful patio. Beautiful ambiance. 10/10 highly recommend. Really good food.

    It's always a clear knockout when we eat here…read more There's no way we will ever go to Winter Haven without stopping at Lucille's. It is just that good. We take a trip to Legoland every now and again and every time we do we come and eat dinner here. We have loved every single meal. This time I branched out and tried another drink, I tried the sincerely, Lucille. It is vodka with fresh strawberries and basil, and it is amazing. Future Christina this is your new go to drink. My husband got his standard old-fashioned and enjoyed it. For food, I got the chimichurri steak, next time I should remember to get the chimichurri on the side just because my younger son didn't like the green stuff on the steak. The chimichurri is delicious. It was cooked perfectly at medium rare, I got their homemade chips as one of my sides because my kids wanted it. Their chips are so good that was definitely the way to go. I also got green beans which were amazing as well. My older son got the kids mac & cheese with a side of fries. I even loved his mac & cheese. It's definitely not the Kraft mac & cheese. My husband got the barbecue plate. He had mixed vegetables and mashed potatoes and loved all of it. My younger son ate off of all of our plates and we pretty much finished all our food. My younger son then got a dessert of vanilla ice cream with Oreos and he scarfed it down. We've never had a problem getting a seat here because it is a good size restaurant. The staff is very friendly and the food comes out pretty quickly. If you're anywhere close to this restaurant, you should be eating here.
