    Smoked salmon and roasted vegetable frittata
    Stephanie G.

    Decided to place an online order pick up for breakfast. I got the biscuit and gravy sausage but substituted egg whites and fruit cup on the side. Everything was packaged nicely and the gravy was still hot when I received it. Fruit was super fresh and sweet. Biscuit was a decent size and the gravy was super peppery, which I love, but I found a bit too salty. Egg whites were cooked perfectly!

    This is the go-to breakfast/brunch location for my marketing team. It's a step above IHOP and/or Waffle House. They have some unique choices and everything is made fresh. The inside is well-lit, an open kitchen window and plenty of parking. Great place for groups because they have lots of options. It's a little pricey, but it's a great spot for groups because it's spacious and they have lots of larger tables. Otherwise, it's pretty much just standard fare.

    Try that First Watch freshness.

    First Watch is a health-minded restaurant with food that actually tastes good. A friend and I went there for brunch. Everything was fresh and made to order. The portion sizes were more than enough, and the prices were reasonable. The atmosphere was bright and cheery with a patio and a small bar. We decided to sit at the bar because it was busy, and the bar is first come, first served. The staff was friendly and very attentive. If you are on your health kick or are just a healthy eater in general, then go try out First Watch.

    Stopped by First Watch in Chamblee for dine in. I was able to try the Traditional Breakfast with a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice. Breakfast truly hit the spot. The eggs were cooked perfectly, chicken sausage was amazing, and the multigrain toast was a great touch. But the real highlight was the orange juice. The OJ, really fresh, tangy, and clearly squeezed in-house. Had to wait about 20 min to be seated, however it was worth the gear service, clean atmosphere, and a relaxing vibe. Will definitely be back!

    First time finally trying First Watch and there are no complaints. There are plenty of options for parking and while it was busy, the wait was not bad (was told wait would be 35, but was only 10) Highly recommend

    Lemon ricotta pancakes
    Courtney M.

    I love First Watch! For chain breakfast spot, this one really can hang with the best of them. There are options for any diet. I like the skillet hash. Omlettes, avocado toast and juices are good too. My favorite thing might be the lemon ricotta pancakes. Fluffy, but with a crisp edge - delicious! I also love that they have many non-pork breakfast meat options. Great service. They also have WiFi. I have worked for a little while after breakfast here on a couple of occasions. Parking is free on the lot behind the restaurant or on the Publix garage. Overall: Great breakfast spot in my favorite community in Atlanta!

    So the food was great I very much enjoyed the food and the waiter was nice and all but the service was so so slow it took forever to get the food and they got quite a bit wrong. And the ambience is a little loud and not a great vibe over all I did go on Memorial Day so maybe that's why but again food is great is you have no where to be soon after.

    Hello Atlanta, today was the perfect sunny day to visit First Watch for the first time. Food: good I ate with my daughter and went with the pick two lunch option and a side to save money. She had the ham & Gruyère sandwich and half the bacon side. I had a mixed greens salad with pecans and the accompanying extras that commonly come with this salad. No complaints. I assume they are a consistent breakfast/brunch/lunch restaurant with great customer service. Service: again great! Ambiance: nice That's all folks

    This First Watch pretty consistently delivers a quality experience. We had a large group--10 people. Our server was excellent. She didn't miss a beat! And even though I only photographed a portion of the food and drinks our table ordered, everything was delicious and plated nicely. We will continue to frequent this location when First Watch is our destination!

    You can never go wrong with First Watch for breakfast! I visited prior to attending a summit on an early Monday morning. They open bight and early at 7 am. The restaurant offers both inside and outside dining options. The lemon ricotta pancakes were fluffy and zesty tasting. The million dollar potatoes were a winner! I could just eat an entire plate of them. The purple haze is such a refreshing beverage to chase down your meal. Parking options include free street parking, dedicated parking lot directly behind the restaurant, and parking garage across the street. Sarah was super sweet.

    This was an amazing breakfast spot! There are so many solid options to choose from that it was so hard to pick which to try. The banana pancakes were fresh and delicious. I love that it was served with a warm bottle of maple syrup. Never had that kind of service before. The crunchy granola bits were a great mix of texture. The Al pastor tacos were delicious and flavorful. My only complain is that there was too much potatoes and not enough meat. The eggs were soft and fluffy. I would definitely come back again. It is affordable for a breakfast spot.

Honestly, perfect for a chill late morning breakfast in the city. We love predictability when hunger strikes, so I'll be back.

That said, the aesthetic feels less Buckingham Palace and more whimsical London antique shop -- charming & eclectic. I ordered the blueberry lavender matcha and a breakfast plate. The menu names were definitely on brand, but not quite catchy enough for me to remember them later. Both were solid, though, and hit the spot. Service was a highlight. The cashier really leaned into the accent and took the time to thoroughly explain the menu, which made the whole experience feel more immersive and welcoming. Parking was easy on an early weekday afternoon -- always a win. The space works well for small parties, but be prepared: tables are small and seating is close together. One tip: avoid sitting upstairs in Eden. It's noticeably warmer than the rest of the restaurant, and you'll likely leave smelling like breakfast. Overall, a fun, themed spot with great service. But I don't think I'll be back.

There's a steady traffic of people going in and out. The staff are welcoming and pleasant. I got an iced honey lavender latte with oat milk and slice of the pistachio cardamom cake. The latte was ok but the cake was phenomenal. The latte had a decent flavor but it wasn't strong. Plus it tasted very grainy and milk-heavy, overpowering the coffee. My slice of cake was so moist and delicious without being too sweet. It was perfect. I'd definitely come back again more so for the desserts than the coffee.

Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area... just be prepared to leave with more pastries than you planned.

And house specials, is friendly and engaging. He makes the rounds and talks to the customers, makes them feel like home. All the staff seem to work together well and a very jovial. I sat at the counter cuz I was flying solo and had nice conversations with those next to me. The way the entire building is decorated is completely eye candy and as satisfying as the food. If you like crazy loopy, different kind of stuff. There's a specific coffee shop and small gift shop in the back with social & environmental conscious products. Even have a film development drop off that I guess locals take advantage of cuz where do you go for that anymore other than some kind of chain pharmacy?. I took pictures for my posting but also for myself to consider coming back and shopping another time. Several of the magnets and signs I would love to own. The food is plentiful and flavorful. I had the daily special of Georgia fresh shrimp sauteed on top of homemade sourdough that had a little bit of a French toast crispy to it, topped with roasted tomatoes and spinach and thin crispy onions that were well seasoned. Most the time for lunch you just hope for something that taste good and this was beyond my wildest dreams of what I was going to eat for lunch today. And it was only $10. The burgers, the fried chicken, the fried shrimp, everything was looking so yummy. I totally have to come back. The place is much bigger than it looks from the front because it extends around the corner behind the counter and they greet you when you come in.

I don't think we knew what we were getting ourselves into, but I'm glad we made the decision to come here. Homegrown provides great food and coffee with indoor and outdoor seating great art and a "cozy" (read: crowded) feel. Food: 5/5 The food here was amazing. I just got the standard breakfast with eggs, bacon, toast, and orange juice but those around me had other meals like scrambles and omelettes that smelled amazing. I'm also a big fan of grits was able to taste some from my friend's plate. Service: 4/5 In terms of the food service, our server was extremely nice, but a couple of people in my party had things wrong with their order. We did have a large group though, so I won't put too much stock into that. Ambience: 4/5 When I say this place is crowded, I mean this place is crowded. I won't hold that against them, it's really a testament to how popular their restaurant is with that said, I really do wish they had more seating available. We went during the tail end of the summer, so it was extremely hot outside and eating breakfast out. The wait for a table was well over 30 minutes, so there was no way we were going to also eat our food outside. It was just not feasible without heat stroke. For context we live in the Pacific Northwest. What made up for this was the coffee shop that was connected to the building in the back that served amazing iced coffee to cool us down. Conclusion All in all, I give this place a solid, 4 out of 5 would recommend. Just be prepared to wait if you have more than three people in your party, and try to come early :-)
