    This is easily one of my favorite brunch spots in indiana. It’s fairly priced with a lot of different options. The two different were packed with vitamins and immune boost things. I don’t recall what’s in it, but they tasted very healthy and it made my body feel good. We were just doing a simple Breakfast day. My boyfriend and I shared chia seed pudding, blueberry muffin and a side of potatoes. We’ve ate here a couple of times already. I really like eating at this restaurant. Service is usually pretty good and food comes out within a good time. The Potatoes are seasoned and I love eating them. They’re so good and it makes me really happy every time I order it. Their muffins are just normal muffins, nothing too special. The chia seed dish is really good, pack with protein & healthy snacks. Fruits & granola on top. Greta fiber content. Flavors aren’t too overwhelming. I wish there was more chia seed pudding with this and less toppings. I love every bite, it’s so rich and nutty with Excellent ratio. The almond butter toast. They put so much almond butter, but still so delicious. I usually scrap like 70% of the almond butter since it’s so thick. Taste so good and this meal makes me feel so healthy! Highly recommend coming to this brunch place and trying it. Brunch here never misses for me and they close sorta early for me bc I wake up so late, but they serve good friendly service + food. 4.5/5 :)

    The breakfast is wonderful. It's not like traditional breakfast which is a nice change.

    Food was tasty. Ambience and location was good. Still I had to rate 3 stars due to mismanagement or something else. We were told to wait for 30-35 minutes for table of 2. Due to its prime location, we were able to wait out by roaming around. I didn't receive any confirmation text. It took more then 1 hour. Even after that when I realized that people who came after us got their seat before us, I had to remind the person at reception second time. All three stars for food though.

    When it comes to healthy and wholesome breakfast and lunch, this is definitely one of the top spots around. They have a ton of breakfast options, including seasonal options so everyone is bound to find something they like. I really liked their seasonal elote hash breakfast. I'm a big fan of their coffee as well, which they bring to you in your own coffee pot. Service was very friendly an relatively quick as well. We didn't have any wait going early on a Sunday morning.

    The wait staff here was friendly. The menu had a ton of choices for everyone. They have a seasonal menu for the fall, and the food was delicious. We got avocado toast, cornbeef hash, chocolate chip pancakes, and pomegranate pear juice. All of the food was delicious. They were a little bit more expensive than expected, costing around $10 per person. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained.

    The food here is fantastic and our server was wonderful. It was our first time here and we are very impressed! Excellent quality food and everyone was so friendly. They have delicious fresh squeezed orange juice and THE BEST cinnamon rolls!

    Loved my first trip to First Watch. We sat outside. The avocado toast was good and so was the smoked salmon eggs Benedict. Pay at the register after you eat. They have tap to pay (awesome). Pretty good little brunchy place in the middle of a strip mall. Update: subsequent visits were not their best show. Waited WAY too long for sub-par food and poor service. The water tasted like old dish water, and the food was just not good. Unlikely I will return. Too many other options to waste that much time on a lackluster experience.

    Went today for brunch, had about 30 minute wait. For drinks we ordered bloody Marys and sangria - both were good! Then we ordered the roast beef and havarti sandwich, the Choose 2 (Cobb salad and Monterey club), BLT eggs Benedict, and smoked salmon eggs Benedict. Everything was well prepared, well presented, and very tasty! Prices were good, too. Before we left, we got the gingerbread doughnuts to take home, and they were also very good. We appreciated our great server, and he kept us well supplied with bottles of cold water to keep our glasses full! We love that. Everything was great, so we definitely want to go back soon!

    Firstly, the place is so clean with lovely decor. We were greeted with a smile by a nice gentleman host. After being seated, our server Fiona promptly approached us with a friendly smile. She was wonderful! Regretting I didn’t take pics because the food and its presentation were excellent. I had the Belgian Waffle with mixed fruit compost & the Million Dollar Bacon & the hubs had Turkey Sausage and gravy, not your usual whole grain toast (so yummy) came pre buttered (not complaining) with a side of what tasted like homemade strawberry jelly with perfectly prepared over easy eggs. Their OJ tasted freshly squeezed, and their coffee was actually really good (offering a variety of flavored creamers). The portions were great and the cost seemed reasonable for the deliciously tasty food. We both cleaned our plates. Sharing this place with friends and family. Definitely a great place to eat!

    This is my family’s favorite place to go for breakfast or lunch, we typically go 1 or 2 times a month. The food is very good and their seasonal menu is always unique. I always feel like their food is healthy and fresh. I have tried many, many things on their menu and have not been disappointed by anything I’ve tried. I would recommend their biscuits and turkey sausage gravy, açaí bowls, any of the breakfast sandwiches, and get one of their muffins GRILLED. It is delicious! Some of their menu items are a take on Mexican breakfast foods and they are so good! Our 4 year old loves the fresh fruit and chocolate chip pancake that’s the size of the whole 10-12 inch plate! All the servers we have ever had are always friendly. If anything does go wrong, they are always apologetic and kind about it.

    This is my go to breakfast place. I usually order the elevated egg sandwich. Their house made juices are also a go to for me. There may be a slight wait to get seated but I don’t mind since they always try to do their best. Update (1 year later): I still enjoy eating here. You cannot go wrong!

    Each and every time we dine here, the service is excellent. The staff is friendly and seems to genuinely care about our meal, the quality of our food, and ensuring we have a great dining experience. The menu has a good variety of traditional and unique food options. Each dish I've had has been absolutely delicious. I'd encourage you to check them out. They are familiar but different in a good way. We had a larger party today, and Kierra took great care of us. Melissa was the manager on duty and was there to support and help. We all came away from our meal very impressed with the food and the service! I look forward to our next meal at First Watch!!

    We went to First Watch at 1230 on a Saturday. This was our initial dining experience at the restaurant. We were told it would be a 15 to 20 minute wait or it was first come first serve at the communal table. We chose, the three of us, to sit at the communal table. We were instantly greeted by our server and she was a delight. Our food was great we had donuts, biscuits and gravy an omelets and standard bacon and egg breakfast. All three of us enjoyed our meal. We will be back thanks for a great lunch.

    The million dollar bacon is fantastic. Salty, sweet and some heat😋 Actually, I haven't had anything here that I wouldn't get again. Great food, interesting selections, fast service, friendly servers and the drinks are great too! They have a pomegranate sunrise that is sure to put some pep in your step, delicious! The atmosphere is good and they are always busy. They have wonderful salads and sandwiches too! Roast beef and havarti with the avocado chop salad, most excellent. Breakfast or lunch trust me, you will find something to eat and you will love it. This place really hits the mark.

    Great combinations and things you don't find everywhere. I had the matcha pancakes and they were fantastic. Good portions, prices were reasonable. I love that they have fresh juice combos as well, the morning meditation is delicious. Definitely recommend trying First Watch. We all enjoyed our meals. We were seated in about 20 minutes on a Sunday. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was the wait for our food after we ordered. Yes they were busy and may have been under staffed, but we waited a little over an hour for our food. I will not, however, let that deter me from going back.

    When the question is asked, "Where's the best breakfast in Westfield?", I suggest that First Watch is a contender. The menu exudes healthiness, but guests are likely to forget the wholesomeness of the ingredients of their meals when they experience their deliciousness. I entered at about 1:00 and was seated immediately. I had a Frittata Rustica with a side of Million Dollar Bacon, plus coffee (Calisa filled the mug and left the coffee pot with me; this is, I believe, the standard m.o.) and, on Calisa's recommendation, a juice-drink called the Morning Meditation -- specially blended in light of my reluctance to drink a whole lot of beet juice. It was positively wonderful - one of the best juice-based drinks I have ever had. Can a drink /look/ healthy? Somehow this one did. The Million Dollar Bacon was high quality pepper bacon, topped lightly with seasoning and a drizzle of maple syrup; it was so very tasty, and the whole, presented neatly on a rectangular plate, seemed somehow greater than its parts. The frittata was excellent (as it ought to be, considering the price). Quality ingredients *do* make a difference. The atmosphere was friendly and unostentatious; large pictures of fruit and kitchenware adorn the walls. The floors and tables were clean. The table-layout was logical. The music was not distractive. The service was excellent; Calisa did a superb job. First Watch is a wonderful place to eat. The empty plate in the last picture is from today (Feb. 28, 2023). The salmon gruyere was too inviting to delay devouring -- and it was soooo gooooood. And Ashley is the sweetest, most competent hostess/waitress one could ever hope to have. I miss the Modern Croque Madame though.

    Consistently delicious and welcoming. The core menu is great, but the seasonal additions are the real highlight. I started off with a caramel pecan cinnamon roll - and then almost every table ordered one too after they saw it. It was as decadent as you'd expect, and very delicious. Then I had the short rib poutine with scrambled eggs. It was rich and incredibly filling, the perfect meal for a cold December brunch. The staff, as always, was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. You'll probably have a wait (it's popular) and it'll be worth it (it's popular for a reason).

    Solid breakfast spot. Pre-pandemic, it had the most excellent customer service. Now, it's kind of like a lot of places. Food is great otherwise. And I also appreciate that it is one of the few places that has not jacked up prices under the guise of inflation. 4.4 out of 5.

    My family and I have been eating here for many years. The food is great! This location has very good management. Melissa runs a great operation. For a restaurant there is very little turnover in staff. Very rarely do they make mistakes and when they do they make it right. I highly recommend this First Watch location.

    Met our children there to celebrate a birthday. Daughter had called ahead and put our name on a wait list. Got right in. First Watch is only open to 2:30 p.m. They serve breakfast, brunch, and lunch items. Daughter had crab eggs Benedict, son had French toast and bacon, husband had a club sandwich with salad, and I had the chicken salad on toast with fried potatoes. Everyone was really pleased with their meals. Drinks were coffee, iced tea, iced coffee and a really pretty purple drink that I don't remember the name of. Staff was attentive. Prices were great. Would definitely recommend. #First Watch

    Pretty good food…Healthy choices! Our table had Florida French Toast, Ham melt, kids chocolate chip pancake and a Power breakfast quinoa bowl. I had some of everything except the Ham melt. Pancake and French Toast were amazing! The Quinoa bowl was different and not for me, I like to try new things because you might find something extraordinary. I still don’t know what I actually ate 😂 Bottomless coffee is awesome! We would eat here again if given the chance, I’ll get one of the many options at omelette next time!
