Our first time here in Sarasota and first time at First Watch! We love both! We are staying at a nearby hotel and we're very disappointed in the breakfast food there and very impressed with First Watch!! Amazing breakfast, so fresh tasting, prepared just like we asked, bacon crispy, eggs perfect with delicious fried potatoes! The smell in our hotel room was so comforting from the potatoes and bacon...yummy! We were so relieved that we found the perfect breakfast place close to the hotel. We went back twice more. Next time we are in Sarasota, we will be back!

Located right off Main Steet in the heart of the five points in Sarasota's Art District, First Watch is a first class place for a great breakfast or lunch. I had the Avacado Toast and the overhard eggs. The Avacado Smash they use with real Avacados is outstanding. Eggs cooked to perfection. Really one of the best healthy breakfasts around. For dessert I had a multigrain blueberry pancake 🥞 Simply fluffy fresh and delicious plus extra blueberry sauce! Service pleasant 😊 Great food 😋 Great service 👏

The 3 of us Brothers and Wives from Ohio ate here this morning and had such a wonderful experience! I’m still amazed that we are in a country that a restaurant like this serves a wonderful and wholesome meal! We always love the healthy drinks 🥤 Thanks for the wonderful people you have working for you! God Bless you

Simply awesome !!! We went to sarasota last weekend and we found this place to take a breakfast. It is a nice, cute and clean place. Staff is really kind and friendly. Food was amazing, we ordered two different omelets, pancakes and coffee. I don’t have any complain about this place. Beside, the best part was each cup of coffee that you take come from Colombian coffee growing families. Thanks for that guys !!!!

Parking was relatively easy at this downtown location, food was just delectable as always. It wasn't too busy, and the employees were quick to notice us, get us seated, and take our orders. After we sat down we noticed the tables were a bit sticky, and it wasn't even that busy, (but I understand how with Covid, places are short-staffed) and the bathroom doors had fingerprints all over the metal, but the toilets were clean. Overall nice atmosphere.

Went here for breakfast. Was seated eight away. The morning meditation drink was good. All of the dishes were great but our waitress never came back yo us. After we were done waited 20 min and ai walked up to the counter and paid. Yikessss!!!!!

This was a great find!! Fast friendly service! The food is amazing! Large portions, quality ingredients. I will be back!!

Absolutely Fantastic! We stopped here for breakfast on our last day of vacation before heading to the airport, and we are so happy we did! The atmosphere and service was awesome! Zaak was great and super attentive and friendly. All the food was super flavorful, well cooked and delicious! We had the fresh squeezed juice, eggs Benedict, the breakfast burrito and the hash. Would definitely recommend!

It's one of the best breakfast spots in downtown with outdoor seating! The food was delicious!

Nice pumpkin pancakes. My friend was impressed with the French toast. Always a good choice for any and all breakfast favorites. Bacon was a little off the mark.

Absolutely magnificent... This place is a must if you are in the area. The food was delectable, the service was top notch & the atmosphere was very relaxed & trend. We loved our meals, portion was perfect and the flavors were fireworks. Hope to come back to Sarasota, and visit again..

Food was amazing & our waitress made it even better. We went 2 days in a row for breakfast, we couldn’t resist! Their million dollar bacon is DEFINITELY worth a try!

Stopped in while on vacation. We visit weekly at home in Ohio and knew we could get same great quality even miles away. They didn't disappoint. Loved the downtown location, lots to walk and see before or after brunch. Great service and was greeted walking in the door. Even opened the door for customers, nice touch. Highly recommend. Thanks First Watch!

Great comfortable atmosphere. the service was good and the food was delicious. I had the roast beef sandwich, my wife, the turkey, and our uncle Dave had the ham sandwich with taisty soup.

If you want a seat early… team 8 am crew. You are most likely going to be parking on the road and need to walk a block or 2. Be sure to check out the natural juice bar which are fairly priced. Adequate portion sizes. I recommend getting Turkey sausage and gravy on a biscuit with home fries and dippy egg NOT SCRAMBLED. They do have some fancy cold brew options for those of you that drink boujee coffee.

I had a wonderful experience at First Watch. It’s located in beautiful downtown Sarasota, Florida. While visiting the state, I had brunch at this location. It’s in a gorgeous area Sarasota’s Main Street. The area is filled with lush, tropical landscapes, pastel colored shops and people dining outsides of eateries located along both sides of the street. Started my meal w/a tasty fresh brewed cup of coffee. I’m a serious coffee connoisseur: this located serves a good brew. Omelettes are my favorite, I can eat one anytime of the day. I had the Italian Inspired Omelet, served w/Bob’s Red Mill Buttered Grits and artisan wheat toast. What stood out for me was the freshness of the food. The food tastes as if the ingredients had been freshly grown and purchased from a farmers market. I loved that fact that the food tastes clean. Nothing was over cooked, uncooked and/or greasy. It was a freshly prepared brunch that I simply delighted in. The ambience a cross btw industrial and minimalist decor. The restaurant, though crowed, didn’t feel crowded: it was spacious. Service rendered was solid, good old fashion, polite, knowledgeable service. Should I visit Sarasota again, I will dine here again.

We ordered waffles and Avocado toast . Everything looks yummy! Great taste and portions. The kale juice in spring is really refreshing. Service was okay but they are really fast .

Always good quality foods. Our go to after a walk in ringling causeway. Wife likes there AM super bowl. Lil' busy on weekends.

The eggs Benedict with the salad was a great combination for the palate. Good service and I like the text alert to mention when seat was available. It’s a great place for family meals, with decent portion sizes.

Good good, not ridiculously amazing but we enjoyed it. Didn’t love kiwi on French toast. Pressed juice was good. Prices were a little much. Waitlist system is confusing.

We arrived and the wait was 15 minutes, they asked us for a phone number to let us know when the table was ready, we went in and ordered several things, the avocado toast was amazing, the avocado was fresh and the taste of the bread was incredible, I also ordered the French toast and it was magnificent, the food portions are very good and their prices are very accessible, the waiter Anthony treated us very well, very friendly and charismatic so this place is a 10/10. Service, food, atmosphere. If you visit Sarasota go to this place for breakfast or brunch

My online door dash order was cancelled due to high volume in the restaurant which means First Watch has chosen to preferentially serve customers inside their building. In light of COVID and the Omicron variant, it is disturbing to see such disregard for public health by chosing to continue business practices that reflect preCOVID thinking. Apropros, it's inconsiderate to people that are high risk, immunocomprised or just want to stay away from crowds of people during these tough times.

A bad experience throughout. Came for breakfast at 8:15 on 1/14/22. Only a few people in the restaurant, but I was seated at the far-out table next to the restrooms (where one could smell them), because the other tables weren't cleaned. Nobody came to see me in 10 minutes. When I said so to a waitress, she seemed offended and was rather rude. She eventually took my order... and disappeared for 20 minutes. After I got my breakfast, nobody came to check on me. I think the 20 minute wait and lack of attention were some sort of retaliation. Or maybe they just don't like foreigners there.

Everything here was a great! Service was on point, food was prepared quickly and perfectly, and even better the food tasted great! Highly recommend for anyone from out of town.

Wow. Our second day in a row at First Watch for breakfast. We tried the Elote Mexican street corn hash this morning and it blew us away. Amazing flavors with a subtle heat. So so good. Just a home run dish. ❤️ Friendly fast service. Love their toast too. Protein bowl with pesto was also excellente !

This is a good place but they could work on adding a bit more flavor to their food. My girlfriends French toast was not what I was expecting, brioche is usually not so chewy. My pancake was nice with the blueberries and strawberry compote. Sausage was also good, but come on throw in 2. One sausage doesn’t hit the spot!

I had the Pumpkin Pancake. It was moist and I enjoyed every bite. My husband had the egg white Turkey Omelet. He found it Tasty and would order it again. Out server was very attentive and friendly.
