    I was in the area for work recently and had a break in between sites. So my coworker and I popped in for lunch. It was our first time. We were seated right away. It felt great being able to eat a healthy meal that wasn't fast food junk. My coworker couldn't decide so he order to combo lunch (half sammich, salad and added a cup of soup). He said it was delicious. No complaints. I ordered a salad. It tasted amazing. I'm glad the dressing was on the side. I didn't care for it and ate my salad without dressing. I honestly think that speaks volumes on the taste and quality of the salad because I'm definitely a person that will go HAM on ranch. I wish they had this chain in my state. I'm definitely going to pick it as a food option next time I'm on the road for work and it's in the area Server was chill and answered our drink questions. I got a plain unsweetened iced tea. It was excellent. My coworker got a lemonade that looked (and confirmed it tasted) amazing.

    Salmon benedict
    Vivian A.

    This is my second time hitting up this spot, the first time being a business breakfast with some co-workers. I remember that time, also being happy with my food and we were all commenting how the food was great and fresh. This time I was meeting up with my cousin visiting from out of town on a Saturday, around 9am, we were seated promptly although it was pretty busy. What I swallowed: *SMOKED SALMON BENEDICT: I love me some smoked salmon benedict and this was great. I think the bread could have been a little more toasted but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The side of fruit was also very sweet and fresh. Our server was really nice, she happily refilled our juices and coffee while my cousin and I catch caught up chatting away for several hours. It's a nice, relaxing place for both business and pleasure.

    Tacos Al Pastor Hash

    Not surprised that this brunch spot is so popular! Came here some Saturday morning with a group of 8 people (predominantly kids) and we waited about 30 minutes for a table. Decent amount of open space for the kids to squirrel around as they grew impatient. Parking in this strip mall lot filled up quickly with customers from all the neighboring businesses. Unsure how our visit compared to weekdays, but I'm guessing this was on the busier side. Customer service is fantastic. Our wait staff was great with the kids. Clearly they get a lot of families. I ordered one of the seasonal specials on the menu, Tacos Al Pastor Hash. I'm one of those crazy people that likes pineapple on pizza, so I was thrilled to have it in my dish accompanying potatoes and pork. Took a few bites of the chocolate chip pancakes at the table, and those were tasty too. Would come here again but not during brunch rush.

    First Watch is constant across the board on each location. I've been to locations in Wisconsin, Virginia, and now Colorado and it's consistently good no matter what location you go to. The servers greet you right away and it doesn't take that long to get your meal after you order. If you're a breakfast person this is your place to go to. If you're not the biggest fan of breakfast you're able to order lunch items anytime during the day.

    Vodka Kale Tonic and Morning Glory
    Wendy M.

    I love breakfast and having locally sourced ingredients and healthy options is fabulous. First Watch is one of my favorite chain restaurants and truth be told, we don't often frequent chains and opt to find mom and pop options. But, First Watch is def one of my go tos. I also love the clean lines, modern farmhouse decor and small touches. They've also recently added alcoholic options. We tried two and were impressed. I'm thinking the vodka cancels out the kale juice though, lol. We ordered the bacado omlette and farmhouse hash. Both cooked to order, flavorful and fresh. We always eat well here. And today, we shared a banana nut pancake, also yummy. Always have good things to say about First Watch. Thanks for being consistent. Till next time.

    Tri-athlete with replacement of tomato basil soup instead of fruit
    Nicole M.

    In sum: This was my first time at First Watch, and although their menu seemed very delicious and abundant, I may have ordered the wrong thing for myself, but the service was pretty great. In terms of COVID as well, everything is back to full function and we didn't see masks on anyone, just a slight caution to the COVID-cautious, this doesn't affect my review. On the bottom of the receipt, there is also an option to write down your contact info for contact tracing in case any worker tested positive and they could let you know if you choose. I thought the service was pretty impressive, our waitress was kind. We had a party of 6, and when we were ordering, our waitress didn't write any of our complex order down but everything we were given was perfect and correct, so that was fantastic! We were checked on a couple of times which was great, we knew that the place was busy. For the Tri-athlete meal: I thought it was close to average or below average. My omelet seemed very watery for some reason, and I thought that the veggies were lacking in flavor. The green bell-peppers and mushroom, alongside the whole omelette seemed a bit like one could make it themselves at home for less. The tomatoes and bell-peppers seemed a bit like it was picked from a salsa jar, that's what the consistency felt like. I I wasn't a huge fan personally. The toast and jam were pretty good! I did get a side of tomato basil instead of the fruit, I'm a pretty big soup gal. I wasn't a fan. It was very thick, and I'm fine with thicker consistencies, but I felt like it was too thick and just had a strange taste. I couldn't put my finger on it, but it just didn't hit the spot for me. It did come with a size of crackers! Overall, I think this restaurant seems pretty great! I just wouldn't recommend this meal.

    A really yummy omelette with a southwest flair!

    This was my first time at a First Watch and I will definitely be back! It was delicioussss. I wanted to try so many things on the menu, everything seemed good. Both of our meals were great, and even my annoying fussy friend liked his so that's a good sign. The restaurant seems a little trendy and fun too, which you don't get much in this area of town. It's a really large place too so we didn't have to wait but I'm sure on the weekends it's pretty busy. Parking is easy! But hey that's Arvada for now ;) Our server was really sweet and rushing around, but still helpful. Everything was great!...Besides my date haha will be back soon :)

The kids loved all the items we tried on the extensive kids menu, especially the homemade GoGurt and hummus! We can't wait to save room for the Dunkaroos next time!

The roasted carrot hummus was exceptional - I've never had anything like it! There really is something for everyone here. Of course, we ordered way too much food, and the leftovers made a delicious dinner the following night!

Although this place discourages Starbucks coffee drinking, I'm a fan and expect other baristas to at least match the quality of my beloved Starbucks before I call it a great coffee place. This is a great coffee place. We got a hazelnut latte and a white chocolate mocha. The barista offered us many flavor and dairy options. I was impressed by his skill and very impressed with his ability to make a great cup of coffee. This place also has a comfortable vibe and different seating options. You can sit in the main area or there's a room off the side with its own bathroom. This side room is good if you have a group who wants some privacy. Besides coffee the place has pastries and ice cream. There are board games, two guitars and a mandolin if you are inclined to play. In general it's just a comfy place to hang out while you enjoy a great cup of coffee.
