I came here on a weekday during lunch with my toddler since we were downtown anyway running errands. I had heard good things so I was excited to check it out when it wasn't too busy. Four other groups had children with them as well. I was pleasantly surprised when the server gifted my toddler a new Hot Wheels car still in the packaging. What a great idea to keep curious little ones occupied when they're dining out. I ordered a milk and the Grand Prix from the kids menu and was shocked by how much food there was. It could easily feed my toddler for 2-3 meals. I got the London Fog and Hot Honey Chicken for myself. I asked how spicy it would be and the server said she could put it on the side. It wasn't too spicy and definitely adds to the meal so I wouldn't get it on the side next time. Looking forward to coming back to try out more menu items! read more

The menu has ample choices for everyone in your party. For those who love breakfast, you can eat it from opening until Close. For those of us who prefer lunch, there is an equal number of choices from which to choose--not always the case with breakfast-lunch places. There is some indoor seating and twice as much outdoor space. The back patio has permanent heaters which keep you toasty warm during colder weather. The service was speedy and attentive. While we didn't have children in our group, an adjacent table did. I noticed and appreciated how the kids food was brought out quickly. The adults waited but they can handle the wait! This was a thoughtful choice on the restaurant's part--one that a lot don't choose. Our food was hot and tasty. We look forward to visiting again. read more

They lost my reservation that I had made online for a larger party. Luckily the gentleman working was wonderful and able to pivot by accommodating the large group with multiple children. They took care of us and understood the toddlers get their food before the adults (parents know what I mean) Everything was delicious from eggs, pancakes, eggs Benedict, and peppermint mocha. Only would change the potatoes by asking for them crispier because they were soft. The ambiance was still nice on the back patio as it is covered and has heated lamps, none of our party was cold. read more

LOVE this excellent breakfast spot. I've been several times and have always had a great experience. Lots of space: There is a patio out front on First; indoor seating; and a very large covered patio out back -- you'll always get a seat. Great location: It's located on First right in the heart of Downtown Livermore. Walkable, lots of parking, lots of people, energy, and shops. Awesome service: each time we've been, our server has gifted my three-year-old a brand new, in-the-box hot wheels car. So thoughtful and fun! Finally -- classic breakfast food. So tasty. Give them a try! read more

Food was great! Everyone really enjoyed their meals. Service was great. Our server was funny and very attentive. Loved sitting in the back patio. Took away 1 star because the pricing on the menu is incorrect. When we recieved our bill a friend of mine pointed out both the espresso martini and her meal was charged $2more than what was listed on the menu. read more

Came here on a busy Sunday morning. The wait was only 20 minutes which was an immediate plus. The inside is full of vibrant plants, bright walls and celebrity art. They have a partially covered back patio for extra seating. The menu had your classic brunch favorites. Everything tasted delicious! Definitely would come back read more

I just had breakfast with the family here. All six of us. I had a flavorless western omelette. The potatoes were over-fried hard little, nuggets--way too crunchy to accessorize a bland omelette. I asked for salsa, you know, to give the omelette a little bit of flavor and maybe soften up the pebbled potatos. Some back-story: Salsa, which is pretty standard equipment when ordering an omelette, has dethroned ketchup as the favorite condiment in the US as of 30 years ago. That said, if you want to put some standard salsa on your omelette at Mornings on First, they're going to up-charge you for it. Yes, you read correctly. I dumped the complementary ketchup on it instead. The sour dough toast? Not sour dough. That white bread was not even trying to be sour dough. Then the bill comes--on a PoS tablet, as the waitress hovers over me and states "it's going to as you a question." Gee, what question could this terminal be asking me so early in the morning?" Does it want to know if I slept well? Good thing I had noticed that they took it upon themselves to give themselves a very generous 20% tip because apparently a party of six is ... is large? I would say it's medium size, at best. I would NOT have tipped the 20% they helped themselves to. Maybe more like 15% when you try to pawn off white bread as sour dough and want to charge me for a condiment. But even that would have given them a 35% tip had I not noticed they tipped themselves without asking or telling me. And by the way--leave a piece of paper on the table as the bill or leave the PoS terminal and walk away. Don't hover over your customer with your hand out, hoping for me to press a silver coin into it. It's rude. Especially when you already carved out 20% for yourself. Six is a large party? Really? And then, there's what I referred to as "the guy." There's this one guy, standing off to the side of the room with a wire in his ear, like he's protecting the President. He never smiles and his head is on a swivel, watching the whole room--the whole time. It's off-putting. Next time I will go to my old standard, even though it's a little bit of a drive: Jim's in Pleasanton. Jim's cannot be beat. https://www.theatlantic.com/national/2013/10/actually-salsa-dethroned-ketchup-20-years-ago/309844/ read more

Arrived for brunch as a party of 4 and we were sat right away. Service was fast and to the point! Drinks were phenomenal, I'll definitely get the s'mores latte again. The reason why this place loses one star is because of the portion size. In my opinion, plates are on the smaller side. For the price you pay, I would expect just a little bit more.. overall, the food was pretty good though. This spot is located in downtown, so parking can be limited if there are events happening or if it is a busy weekend. There is only street parking so plan ahead. read more

Unplanned stop here for some breakfast but so happy we did! They only serve breakfast and lunch and close at 3 which is unfortunate because their food is so good, I can only imagine how their dinner would be . They have a cute little seating area in the front and have fans blowing so it stays cooler making it so nice to sit outside. The inside is cute too! Our server was very friendly and helpful with the menu. We went with the food he suggested and we were not disappointed! My omelette was STUFFED with fresh ingredients and the potatoes were crispy and flavorful. My friend mentioned many times her bacon and eggs were cooked perfectly! We also ordered pancake to share. The pancakes themselves were so good! However they were listed as blueberry with lemon so we thought the blueberries were going to be in the pancake batter but it turns out it's just a jam topping which makes the pancakes soggy and the lemon flavor did not compliment anything. Next time we'll try just plain pancakes and see if that's better. Overall great place with great food! read more

Mornings on First is such a charming little breakfast spot. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed morning or casual brunch. The food is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Everything we ordered was delicious and beautifully presented. The coffee was great. I ordered a coffee flight that was perfect because I wanted to try all the flavors, and didn't know which one to pick , so I love they have the option to try alittle bit of each flavor! So cute! The service was friendly and attentive without feeling rushed. It's the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and really enjoy your morning. Definitely a gem and a place I'll be coming back to. read more

I've been to Mornings on First a few times now and have enjoyed it each time. The restaurant is decorated beautifully with a "Tiffany's" vibe. The service is generally good - since it's a new restaurant the staff are working extra hard to deliver well and may get busy at times, resulting in slower service or longer wait for food to come out. Coffee: If you want to try a few of their different iced coffees at once, I'd recommend getting the coffee flight - you get to try the s'mores, tiramisu, and cookies & cream lattes. I really enjoy the s'mores and c&c ones! Breakfast/brunch: I've ordered the Ohana pancakes a couple times and really like them. The pancakes are pretty big and I've taken them to-go before and they've kept and re-heated well. The Belgian breakfast is good too and very filling. Their waffles are crispy! Lunch: I've gotten the turkey tango sandwich which was a good amount of fillings with a good layer of pesto. My husband just tried the OG burger and didn't love it - the burger was cooked well but overall flavorless. The accompanying potato salad was really good, and I'd recommend over the fries. Overall I recommend giving Mornings on First a shot. You may have to wait a bit for a table or for your meal to come out, but it's worth trying out for yourself :) read more

Mornings on First - Biscuits and gravy! Yum - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Livermore, California

Wait staff was pleasant and the food was visually appealing, but the chefs definitely don't know how to use seasoning or cook to temperature. The scrambled eggs were completely unseasoned and still raw on the bottom (brought to the table cold), the chicken fried was unseasoned before battering and the gravy was gray, not white or even brown. The potatoes had flavor from the peppers and onions, but again no seasoning. Finally the blueberry pancakes....the pancakes were good, but the blueberry compote was just blueberries warmed in lemon juice and sugar. No blueberry flavor at all and the fruit was still whole. Definitely not worth the price read more

I had a lovely lunch with a friend at Mornings on First. The patio is shaded (!) and super cute. I'm glad this space is no longer sitting empty. I ordered the turkey, pesto, and sundried tomato sandwich. I enjoyed the buttered and toasted sourdough bread. Overall, the sandwich was a bit dry and could have used more pesto. The fries were delicious, though! Looking at people's plates, the pancakes and waffles looked tasty - I'll have to try them for brunch next time. I wanted to order a coffee because they had some intriguing drinks, like a s'mores latte. However, I learned that oat milk costs $2 extra! That's bananas! (I also couldn't find this information listed on the menu - I had to ask my server). I understand paying extra for non-dairy milk, but this seems higher than the surcharge at other establishments. read more

My husband and I had breakfast last Saturday morning during their soft opening week. It far exceeded our expectations! We timed it just right and got a patio seat when we arrived. The hosts were friendly and attentive. The patio tables have cool little anti-fly whirligigs and plenty of shade. Service was prompt and friendly, and the menu options were great. I was especially delighted their house tea is Rishi. The London Fog was delicious. For me, the real litmus in breakfast places is Eggs Benedict. These did not disappoint. The poached eggs were perfect! If you're a specialty breakfast restaurant offering Eggs Benedict, you must be able to poach an egg properly - and Mornings on First nailed it! Other local breakfast spots have fallen short in this area and charged way more. These poached eggs were gloriously jammy and played well with the tasty Hollandaise sauce. I haven't even gotten to the potatoes yet! They were delectable-- light, crispy outside, creamy inside, and perfectly seasoned. These are the best I've had out! My husband enjoyed his breakfast burrito. He mentioned that it's the best he's had, with perfectly balanced fillings. It's a win because no one likes a bite with just potatoes. We look forward to returning! read more

The food is good, but dang I just waited 45 minutes for food, which seemed to be the norm for everyone sitting around us. There were numerous empty tables so the kitchen is overloaded seemed to lack merit. What was more frustrating was the response from our server, who seemed dismissive and told us "it's basically Saturday, what did you expect?" A little more communication and courtesy would have gone a long way. I've never experienced this during past visits, so hope it's a one off, but I truly dislike a condescending server. read more

Just basic. Nothing really special on the menu from any other breakfast spot. I asked for my eggs to be over medium and they were over super easy, like a ton of uncooked white egg. Not medium. Homemade jam but they only give you a super small tablespoon of it. Our bad for coming at their peak Sunday time but the lady in front told us 20-30min but it was 45min to wait. They have a ton of heat lamps in the back patio but none in the front where they had a ton of empty tables on a cold morning. We won't be back- Livermore has lots of breakfast spots that are all way better value and they get the order correctly read more

1st time at Mornings on First. My breakfast choice is always French toast and they have several choices. Unfortunately when I ordered, I was told they're out of all French toast. So I ordered pancakes. I don't usually like to go out for breakfast when at home because I can cook better for much less - $15 for pancakes and nothing else? We'll see. Food was good. Breakfast at Tiffany's has a fun presentation. read more

This is just not it. ...I definitely expected more. Came here on a Friday at 1pm ish. We were the only people there. There were 7 staff behind the bar chatting and talking. One staff was friendly and helped right away and was able to put in an order for our son. But when it came time to order more food, we had to wait until someone noticed us looking their way. No big deal. When they came over, we noticed they had a vegan waffle (not listed as an option on the kids menu) so we asked if we can change to a vegan waffle. The guy said yeah I can. I said sweet if you can that would be great, he replied "I already said I would"....a very off putting response. I also asked to change my order and he made another snarky comment. He then barked orders at someone telling them to finish taking our order. 1. Don't talk to your customers that way. A simple no problem would do. 2. Don't act like big shit, bc you aren't. Esp when you are rude to people who work for or with you. Not a good look. Getting to the rest of what we ordered-the coffee flight-not even good, they were extremely watery. Seemed like something had alcohol but we weren't sure. Biscuits and gravy aren't made in house it seems, seems something that's frozen that's warmed up...I can def do that at home. The hot honey sandwich is neither hot nor does it taste like honey-it's very oily and gross. We ended up not even being able to eat it. Oh and for three people we got one water given to us. A joke. Honestly, let down, by the service and the food. Ohh and like other reviews, we were visited by flies as well. How?! In the winter? Are flies buzzing around me? Anyways, save your money. Monica's was poppin maybe I'll go there next time. read more

It's unfortunate the service here is very lacking. First time the wife and I tried coming here on a Sunday morning we asked for a table for two. The hostess told us they don't have a table for two and then she walked away. My wife convinced me to try it again. We got sat at the bar are for breakfast and then were barely tended to. Any time we wanted something we had to flag someone down. The food was ok. Kinda hard to mess up breakfast. read more

Nice charming place on the inside and friendly staff but the food leaves something of a not memorable experience. First off the coffee is super bitter even with a full mini pitcher of cream. Some might think it to be strong but I for one just think maybe the coffee machine might have been cleaned recently but not all the chemicals flushed out before brewing. Then if you order sausage patties be warned to ask what the up charge is before seeing the bill. The young lady said it was an up charge. ($4) which is more than getting the ham and ham I am certain would have had more flavor. The biscuit and gravy was full of an off putting herb, fennel I believe. Best part of my meal was the poached eggs, perfect consistency not over cooked at all. Orange juice was a little steep for the size of glass you got for $9 might have been just over a cup in volume. Would go again for the atmosphere but not for the food. Sad really, you need to have both good food and good service to make it in the industry. read more
