    Mmmm. Breakfast for lunch!
    Denise R.

    I love First Watch. It's a chain, but I love the breakfast options. Today, I had Avocado Toast for lunch. It was delicious and (sorta) healthy. No issues with parking and there were plenty of tables available during lunch.

    First Watch never disappoints. Always my go to for a good breakfast! I ordered their special bowl and it was delicious. I sat at the bar and Stephanie (I think) was great and efficient. Service was great and I received my meal promptly. I connected with the person next to me and it was a great conversation. This place is happening and people seems to be very friendly. The food was great and the ambiance was very upbeat.

    First Watch is a safe go-to brunch spot. The food is always solid, this time around I had the chai pudding & I was pleasantly surprised how tasty it was! The service is fine, no complaints. Lastly, the ambiance is very family friendly with a wonderful covered outdoor patio for the warmer months.

    Solid brunch spot! So I came in on a whim because it's not that far from me. I needed something decent and quick. Now it wasn't super quick but that was just because of the time that I came in. But I was not disappointed. It's in a shopping area so there's free parking. So at least not to worry about paying, but if it's crowded you may not get close to the door. A word of advice, if you're going to come, you want to go ahead and make sure that you come really early, or just be aware of the wait time. If you come doing breakfast or brunch, on a weekend, especially, you will be waiting. They have a lot of seating, but not as much for specific type of crowd, but they do have plenty of seating on a regular day. And they also have bar seating but that usually goes fast cuz that is first come first serve. Ham and Grier cheese melt - The melt was really good. They didn't have a whole lot of thickness to it but it was very flavorful. I will say if you use that and dip it in the gravy it was pretty damn good LOL. Million dollar potatoes - The potatoes were amazing. I don't know what type of cheese or witchcraft they put in them, but it was odd enough LOL. The potatoes were damn good! I would go back just for an order of those! Bacon - I ordered a side of bacon and the bacon could have been cooked a little bit more, it was kind of floppy and not really crispy at all. But at least it tasted good, but it tasted like bacon so I guess that's fine LOL. Sausage gravy and biscuit - I feel like the biscuit was good but the gra . And it had plenty of gravy there in a container for my to go order. Used the gravy for other stuff on my order too because it was so much. Monterey club - The club was okay. Didn't really have enough meat on it for me to enjoy it but it was good, had flavor, especially cuz they had bacon on it. Overall, this is a pretty solid breakfast spot. If you want. Breakfast is a good spot to go to, depending on what time you go you could have a good experience or you could be waiting around. But the same time, they took care of me.

    We went for breakfast on a weekend. We were seated right away. Our server was very accommodating and friendly. The staff ensured our order was not cross contaminated with any allergens. We all enjoyed our meals. Food allergies can be stressful but we did not have to worry about our meal!

    10/10 this cinnamon cold brew rum coffee was everything! It was delicious and hit the spot on a Sunday morning. The service was great and the weather was even better. I didn't know this location had a back area until I saw a couple of people sitting outside.

    This was my first time coming to the Dunwoody location and certainly the last! The only thing I was able to get was an iced coffee that tastes like milk with sugar and some ice. I will say our server was nice, and did warn the kitchen would take a few minutes extra for our food, little did we know it would take an HOUR. Unfortunately I never received my food due to having to work and could no longer wait. This location will certainly never see me again!!

    UBEREATS got this for a second time over uber eats, pancake and turkey sausage. the sausage was as expected, nothing great, nothing bad. butter came completely melted, maybe that's not their fault but the ubereats driver came straight to me and it's never happened before so i suspect it's the restaurant. the pancake was big and gross. burnt pancake with some blueberries also tasted burnt to some extent. somewhere in the middle there was a faint banana flavor- but i didn't request banana. not a fan. won't order from here for ubereats again. maybe it's better in the restaurant.

    Harvest Turkey omelette

    Food: fresh and delicious Ambiance: casual and clean Service: friendly and attentive I came here on a chill Sunday after church around 1:30 p.m. Overall, it a pleasant experience from beginning to end. First, it's within a shopping plaza with ample FREE parking. That's always a rare win in Atlanta. Albeit, they don't have reservations, but you can go on their website and join the waitlist while you're on the way there. I did that about 15 minutes before I arrived and was seated immediately. It was quite busy and full, but the service was still very calm, efficient and welcoming. They handled the crowd well with efficiency. We ordered our food and it didn't take long to be served. Maybe no more than 15 minutes. We got the gingerbread donut holes and the healthy turkey omelette. It was all hot, fresh and delicious. No complaints. The portions were generous and filling without being overwhelming. We left feeling satisfied but not stuffed. This is a great option for friends, family or just a peaceful solo meal. They have great options for everyone: vegetarians, vegans, meat lovers, healthy conscious, body builders/gym rats. Everyone can come here and find something they like that meets their dietary restrictions/preferences. This place is ideal for a group with various interests but all love good food and good service.

    Chicken quinoa power bowl

    Pictures on here from owner don't say what the item is and I saw some that looked amazing. Yet, no loss on a star for that. Everything tasted amazing. I got my food wayyyy before my friend. Me not eating to wait for her became obvious to our waitress. She gave my friend a card for $20 off and I got a discounted meal. That was really awesome. Prices are a bit high for brunch, but brunch is all the rage so prices reflect popularity. I'm more of a "not a chain" brunch girl. Although I would definitely choose First Watch over most other options. Big thanks to our waitress.

While…read morestaying in Dunwoody near Perimeter Center, I found Cafe Comma near one of the CorePower Yoga studios I was visiting. Even though there were plenty of places at the mall to grab coffee and food right across from my hotel, I kept finding myself coming back here day after day during my stay. The staff I interacted with was super cool, welcoming, and had such a great vibe. Every interaction felt genuine and friendly. One thing that really stood out was when I asked for a drink that wasn't on their menu but that I had seen on their Yelp page. They had no problem making it for me and even had me try it before I left just in case I didn't like it. That kind of customer service goes a long way. The drinks were great, the atmosphere was chill, and the overall vibe made me feel comfortable every time I walked in. Whenever I'm back in Atlanta, Cafe Comma will definitely be one of my first stops. Thanks for the excellent hospitality

I was super excited to finally get a REAL coffee shop in the neighborhood, especially since I have loved their Alpharetta location since 2020. Since then, I've been back a few times to meet friends for a cup of coffee or grab a bag of whole beans to go to make my own espresso at home! It's not the cheapest bag of beans but it's definitely freshly roasted and good quality! I love their seasonal bevs - I've tried their fall drinks like the Tokyo Drift (Applewood smoked cortado, orange blossom syrup, freshly grated nutmeg, orange peel) and the Spice is Right (Iced, spicy, creamy, coffee cocktail vibe with cold brew, hot honey syrup, vanilla bean and milk). You can easily sub out alternate milks, even on the seasonal specialty drinks. I appreciate the themes and play on the seasons. And also just simple but delicious drinks like the Nitro Lavender Vanilla Oat Latte. The seating can be a huge issue. I seem to always stumble in during peak, maybe? There seems to be plenty of space but no seating/tables. Many tables for 2 or 4 would be taken by 1-2 people studying/working all day, which is understandable but still frustrating. There is some outdoor seating (dog friendly, woohoo!) but is extremely vulnerable to the elements. Overall, I'm grateful for more local and noncommercial coffee shops in Dunwoody! Bring em on!!
