I only come here occasionally for brunch, but it's always a great experience to come here. Staff are super friendly, dish sizes are perfect, and overall just a great place to have an extra-nice breakfast with friends/family. Drinks are absolutely delicious.

We arrived at 830 on a Sunday morning and got a table right away. An order of Million Dollar Bacon to share and some drinks, and it was time to order. I had the Floridian French Toast, which was great and a very large serving. Others in our party had a Pesto Bowl, an AM Superfoods Bowl, and the Honey Bacon Brussels Hash. All were rated top scores.

From start to finish everything was delightful! Food was delicious and the kale tonic was life giving; so good! I got the avocado toast with their veggie patty, side potatoes and fruit cup. My husband got the trio with waffle, eggs, and bacon - there was nothing left on his plate! So happy to have found this little gem, will return again soon!

Stopped by here on a Monday morning with my wife after dropping kids off at school. First time trying this spot. We were seated immediately. I ordered a Healthy Turkey Omelet with a seasonal specialty drink. I don't remember the name of it but I know it had dragon fruit in it. The meal was very light and definitely filled me up just right. Not overly stuffed and not too light, where I was still hungry. The drink was one of the best drinks I've tasted, it left me wanting more but I resisted the urge. Will definitely return here again. The waitress was attentive enough but we did have to get her attention to get our check and small to-go box. Not a big deal at all. Will be returning and hopefully the drink is still on the menu.

My wife and I have been passing by this business for months now, always outside of their operating hours due to our busy schedule (usually staying over for our volunteer work with the NO REGRETS Men's Conference, and local Destination Imagination Regional Tournaments in the area). Finally, during our latest trip to the Brookfield area, we made it a priority to visit on a Sunday morning for breakfast. We are so glad we finally did! Since the weather was prohibitive for use of their outdoor seating area, we entered First Watch via the building breezeway. We were immediately enveloped in a delightful blend of modern elegance and warm charm. Our experience began with a remarkably prompt host who seated us within moments of our arrival, despite the bustling atmosphere. The background buzz was enough to set the feel of a great breakfast / brunch meet-up place, yet was low enough as to not interfere with our ability to hold a conversation. The menu is a treasure trove of unique and intriguing options that are sure to please any palate. Starting our fare was the Ham & Gruyere Melt alongside the Tomato Basil Soup, creating a harmonious brunch match up akin to the perfect mix of a happily married couple. Indulging ourselves, we added a side of their Seasoned Potatoes; perfectly complimented with a delicate Parmesan cheese sauce and herbs. We upgraded them to the "Million Dollar Potatoes" which features a topping of their "Million Dollar Bacon" pieces (the most decadent version of this meat I believe I have ever chomped down on)! The MDB is SO GOOD, we ordered an added side of the Bacon itself; an culinary experience that will not be soon forget (both by us and our cardiologist and nutritionist when the blood test numbers come back)! One of us has Celiac disease, so every new place we try can be a bit tricky. While First Watch is not a dedicated gluten-free establishment, both the front-of-house staff and kitchen are knowledgeable and can prepare and serve your food with minimal risk of cross-contact or contamination. As always ***It is YOUR responsibility to politely inquire about and inform your waitstaff about the specifics of your situation.*** That said, our Breakfast Bowl was incredibly delicious and had zero ill effects for us (which made it twice as nice of an experience!)! My wife also enjoyed one of the best hot chocolates she has had in a while (though her homemade version is the best, of course!). I chose to just enjoy their house coffee - which was remarkably smooth and delicious. Big kudos go to our waitress! Mayre is an absolute ROCK STAR!!! OMG, I don't think we have had this much fun out with someone since we trashed the Hilton with Jagger and The Boys back in '68! Mayre's service and conversation is what Truly MADE our time here at 1st Watch a blast (and with as great as this place is - that is saying A LOT!). Professional and highly knowledgeable - yet exceptionally personable, perky, witty; she is just an all-around great person! If we could have made an order to go, it would have been for her to grab her coat and come along for the afternoon with us! HR: we are not sure what you are paying Mayre, but we're sure it is not enough - Give That Girl A RAISE, and don't lose her! Her customer service skills makes Top-Tier look second-rate! Mayre, thank you for creating such an unforgettable breakfast experience for us at our inaugural visit to 1st Watch. We hopefully will be seeing you again on our next visit (...unless maybe you see us coming first...)!

I enjoyed an egg sandwich with bacon and avacado on an English muffin. It was DELICIOUS. The server was attentive, even though First Watch was busy. Even though I didn't, you can enjoy a Bloody Mary with breakfast.

Been here several times before. It has always been good. Came this time for breakfast with a group of 4. They seated us, even though not everyone was here. (some places don't). The dining room is spacious, well designed and clean. Lots of natural sunlight through the windows. Our server got us settled in right away with beverages. Did a great job of answering questions, taking our orders, keeping our drinks fresh, and checking back with us. (Thanks Louis) We all ordered breakfast items. It didn't take long before they all came out, at just the right temperatures. I had the special Shishito Brisket Hash. It was excellent. The other meals were all good too. An all-around nice experience.
