    Our experience was awesome! Although it was packed, we did not wait long for seating. When we got to our table, we were greeted by a friendly waitress, Susan! She took our order without a pen and pad and did not miss a beat! Our food came out quickly and was prepared perfectly. Susan must have read our minds because she came out with everything we needed before we could even ask. I definitely recommend this place for breakfast/ brunch. Food 10/10. Service 12/ 10! We will be back again.

    Both my husband and I had Susan as our waitress. She was kind, amazing, and explained anything to us we had questions about. This definitely isn’t our first time here but first time experience with Susan. I love the boost shot is amazing chased with orange juice for everyone that wants to try that but not mix it into a drink! We both got hash bowls and loved them! The drink below is the morning meditation drink with the boost shot.

    Mmm, our 1st time here. I had the Frittata with Kale. Daughters had skillet hash Parma and Chicken changa and French toast. Waitress was very friendly. Atmosphere was cool.

    Overall 4.8 out of 5 Really enjoyed our visit this morning! Being from NY, we enjoy our bougie breakfast and brunch and this location definitely hit the spot. Service was quick and friendly, especially with kids. Ordered two kids meals (waffle and pancakes) which were fresh, yummy and well priced at 6.99. Also got the salmon eggs Benedict, sunrise granola bowl with muffin, biscuits and gravy and grits with cheese. Very yummy, well balanced meals and flavors. They also had several drink options - will definitely return for brunch; highly recommend to give them a try!

    We always love First Watch breakfast and brunch. The food is always good and the cocktails are great. It’s usually very busy, especially on weekends, so plan accordingly. Service was good, and food was tasty. We were charged $5 for a drink (Pellegrino water) which we never ordered or received and noticed other people were being charged as well. Besides that, no complaints. We will definitely be back.

    Food was good! Lots of variety and whole food options, lots of expected items as well. Fresh sounding and drool worthy.We really loved the juices, too! We went during the weekend breakfast rush and it was very loud due to the acoustics of a single room restaurant. The server was also very busy. It was hard to get anyone's attention or to get up to walk to the bar or bathroom. I didn't know this was a chain until week later. I was pleasantly surprised. Good food, good service, I'd go again outside of the busy hours.

    First time here, food was excellent. Our waiter seemed new but he did a great job. I had the Inspired Italian Omelet with potato’s, toast and preserves, it was delicious. Overall we were satisfied and will come back again to try other goodie’s. I liked it.

    Everything we try here is amazing. Great food quality, quick service, and excellent offerings. It can seem a little pricey compared to quick service breakfast places nearby but honestly worthwhile and always busy!

    One of the expectations from chain restaurants is the consistency in menu items and flavor profile. Maybe it was just a busy day but my meal was a miss. Million dollar bacon - the main reason why we came here. Delicious as always. Kale tonic - a great beverage to start the meal. Monterey club sandwich- delicious Sweet honey Pecan salad was not what I expected. On a summer morning I thought the salad would be cold but was served warm; something I didn't read in the menu.

    My man took me here for a birthday breakfast that was out of this world. Our server, Suzanna was absolutely amazing! She helped me with a few menu items and answered all of my questions. The Kale Tonic and the Morning Meditation drinks were amazing! The food was delicious and the service was great! I'm not a breakfast person but I loved the market hash and the lemon ricotta pancake. He got the salmon frittata with the carrot cake pancake and it was delicious as well. We will definitely be returning!

    Matthew's prompt response and attentive service truly made a difference in our dining experience. His commitment to ensuring our needs were met is commendable. From the moment we stepped foot into the restaurant until the end of our meal, Matthew's attentiveness was evident, and his quick response to any requests or questions we had added an extra touch of customer satisfaction. Overall, his exceptional service made our dining experience memorable and enjoyable. Keep up the good work, Matthew!

    First time going here. Upon entering we were slowly greeted (Hello, awkward stare) then I told her 2. Then She asked for a number so they could text us when a table was ready. Took about 36min for a table to be ready on a Sat around 1030. (We expect this) We were led inside but wanted to eat outside (it was cold inside.) but that would have made our wait longer. I'd recommend you announce inside or out when you tell them how many in the beginning to save some time. Food was ok. Everything was bland the pancake, the scramble. I added some salsa when I got home to the scramble and that made it better. My coffee thing wasn't to my liking but service received by waitress was great and the atmosphere is cool. Our food also came out fast, even with the crowd. Not worth the wait to me but our waitress, price, portion size, and the fruit was good. I won't be back be back but because this is one of the "highly recommended" breakfast spots I'd say try it and see if you find something you like.

  • 4/5 Nancy T. 7 months ago on Google
    Food was excellent as I had Korean type hash bowl. My server was wonderful too. The reason I'm giving service only 3 stars was there was no one to take payments at the register. A man behind us walked to the kitchen to get someone and the young man that came out was not exactly friendly. To say the least. He acted like we had bothered him (probably did) and never made eye contact with any of us. He couldn't take a cash payment and finally hunted down a manager.

  • 5/5 Janifer Reyes-Antonio (. 7 months ago on Google
    The food was ok.. A bit over priced ..one thing that was good that million dollar bacon! Thost churros sooo delicious coffee not to say. I gave 5 stars because my son loves this place and our waiter was amazing. The place is kept very clean. Like I have always said we all don't have the same taste butts. What I like you might not like...give a try and let me know you think?

  • 5/5 Diana M. 6 months ago on Google
    First time here, and I definitely enjoyed it. The food was very tasty, and the service was great. Sarah saw us coming and greeted us with menus in hand as soon as we walked in. We mentioned it was our first time, and she walked us through the menu and gave us a few suggestions. We got the Chile Chorizo Omelete, the Trifecta with a banana oatmeal pancake with a side of potatoes, a hot chocolate, and a Mint Mocha Iced Coffee.

  • 5/5 Alva C. 8 months ago on Google
    Ok ok. I had to try it out because of all the hype around it. We tried it first a few weeks ago, we walked in at 2 not realizing they close at 230 but they still served us graciously with DELICIOUS AF food, it haunts me. I figured they were just being nice so we went again this morning. In the middle of the brunch rush crowd, the service & food were top tier. The million dollar bacon makes all previous bacon feel like abuse. The waffles are delicious. Even the eggs are SO GOOD, while looking deceptively unseasoned. Witchcraft. We will be back. We recommend everything except the pork sausages lol.

    Food was amazing, atmosphere is super cute and I love the decor. Cherrel was honestly an amazing server, she has really positive energy and constantly made jokes and comments with our group that made us feel super welcome. It was my first time coming and I enjoyed it so much!

    My husband and I love having day dates here. The food and drinks are always great. We love seeing our favorite server Susana! She’s always fast and so sweet. Her suggestions on food never disappoint. We love the rotating menu they do.

  • 5/5 Jennifer P. 8 months ago on Google
    Loved this place. Brought my out of town family for some farm fresh food, and it wasn't disappointing at all. I'm fact it was so great to taste non fried food and healthier food and lower cost. I got breakfast tacos and a lavender juice... which was so good. Going back for sure.

  • 5/5 Mallarie M. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place to eat breakfast. The food is fresh, but it can be pricey. Good atmosphere and kind waitresses. I ordered the biscuits and Turkey gravy with scrambled eggs and seasonal potatoes. It was so good and light. My mother had the trifecta with a pancake that was soft and sweet. Definitely a must try

  • 5/5 Noemi D. 1 year ago on Google
    Our server was Celia ( I hope I spelled it right) she was amazing! My partner had the Biscuit & Turkey Sausage Gravy with eggs. He loved it! We share the French Toast. It was big enough for 2. I had the •Market Skillet Hash. I enjoyed it until I saw that some pieces of the potatoes had dark rotten parts. And one little piece seemed to have mold. Whoever peeled them didn't cut those parts out. As a cook, I could never give someone that.After seeing that, I couldn't continue to eat it anymore. I got grossed out. I will post the pictures below. Besides that, everything was great.

  • 5/5 Matthew 2 years ago on Google
    Great experience dining with fresh organic ingredients. It was nice to visit a restaurant that has healthy food and great tasting. Service was somewhat awkward. Organization with payment could be better because the front was busy with customers coming in and customers trying to pay. Overall everything was good and we would definitely be back.

  • 5/5 Alyssa L. 1 year ago on Google
    Maddie was so good to us during our visit! Today was like night and day from our last visit. I’m glad we came back, she was attentive, drinks never ran out without another on its way, she was patient while my kiddos practiced ordering, empty plates or cups did not stay on the table and she did it all with a smile! Thank you, Maddie for amazing service during this massive Saturday morning rush!

😐 I have been wanting to go here for a while. Finally went and was not impressed. We waited for over an hour. I assume "the manager" was very good at communicating that there would be a delay and that they would get us in ASAP. I ordered the salmon croquettes, they were more like salmon balls. Very sm...
