    Yummmm
    Barbara F.

    The only complaint I have about First Watch is that they don't have a location that is conveniently close to me! It's a bit of a drive to get there but well worth it! I had received a coupon via email for a buy one get one entree, and have been craving my beloved Bacado breakfast so I planned a trip to First Watch. As usual I ordered my Bacado which was SO INCREDIBLY GOOD! Plenty of tasty crispy bacon and avacado! Cooked to perfection and arriving warm and delicious. I tried one of their seasonal drinks - Blazing Dragon - and it was delicious! Typically I get black coffee but I wanted to try something different. My side choice was mixed fruit which a great mix and a good portion. I chose a turkey club and tomato basil soup for my to go, they were very good although my beloved Bacado was the best!

    Elote Breakfast Burrito
    Tom M.

    Food was amazing! That Elote burrito was fire! I wish there was one of these close to me on the west coast. There were a few things on the menu I also wanted to try but didn't get to. Every one loved what they got. The service was pretty good a mix up with an age of a kid at our table but honestly wasn't a big deal. The overall vibe is like a standard breakfast spot with a little flair.

    Had brunch with friends and put us on the list online. Walked in to check in which started the clock. Waited about half an hour and then we were seated. Parking is crowded in the shared lot. But with the meal you eat here walking is a good option :) There are seats in the waiting area which helped. Jens was our server and he was friendly and helpful. She ordered market skillet, her daughter a half waffle with fruit and orange juice. I chose the smoked salmon and roasted vegetable frittata. And splurged on a purple haze juice from their spring menu. It's a combination of lemon, cane sugar, butterfly pea flower tea with a hint of lavender. I also added the boost which is a blend of antioxidants. My frittata was delicious. The salmon not fishy in taste or smell. Light and well seasoned. The egg was well cooked and fluffy. The purple haze drink was so pretty in color and wasn't overly sweet which is how I prefer my drinks. Her daughter inhaled her waffle and fruits. And she said her market skillet was pretty tasty. She is going to bring her husband next. Restaurant is bright and clean. Restrooms were also clean which is always a plus. Nothing wrong with the meal but it didn't bump into the perfect five stars for me. It's a solid four.

    Egg sandwich
    Gina B.

    Ordered the egg sandwich through doordash, and when it arrived I could immediately tell the brioche bread was stale and old. Such a waste of $20 - had first watch in FoCo which was delicious, but this location and dish was awful!

    This First Watch is a very nice establishment! It's very clean and vibrant. It's great for family, friends, or even work events. We were sat at our table right away and our server was excellent our entire breakfast! The food was ok (not bad, not amazing). I expected more in flavor from the Elevated Egg Sandwich (not pictured). The million dollar potatoes were ok as well, but didn't blow me away with amazing taste. In a nutshell, was an average experience food wise!

    We love First Watch. This was our first time to this location. I love how open the layout is here. The food was incredible as usual. Everyone was super friendly. The service was fast. Very nice brunch with the Hubby.

    Floridian, French toast and classic eggs Benedict along with sausage and scrambled eggs
    Dorothy D.

    Well, my daughter and I went there on Palm Sunday and it was crowded of course so we had a long wait. They were busy so it took a while before we got our food so my daughter got got the salmon be a dick and I got the chick Chunga. They both were very good. I couldn't eat all of mine so just a couple of forks was left on the plate. The atmosphere was great. The food was awesome. The customer service was awesome. It was my second time being there so I enjoyed it and I will go back again.

    The Floridian French Toast and the Million Dollar Bacon was delicious.

    The food is simply delicious. One of Best Breakfast Spots here I've been here a few times and they never miss. I would definitely recommend it's delicious.

    Donut holes with a side of chocolate sauce and delicious raspberry sauce.
    Massy A.

    I was really hoping this place would knock it out of the park, but it was a miss. I ordered the quinoa power bowl and my partner ordered the biscuits with turkey sausage gravy. My power bowl had a ton of quinoa, with only two mushrooms, very little kale, and four bits of sausage. However, the eggs on top of it were perfectly cooked and runny. I'd reduce the amount of quinoa in this dish and increase the other ingredients. The turkey sausage gravy was a bit thin and lacking flavor and the biscuits were a little too dense for our liking. The potatoes that came with this dish were crispy, well seasoned and delicious! Towards the end of our meal, we added the donut holes and bingo! Crispy on the outside, moist and cake like on the inside, and the raspberry sauce on the side was a fire! The service was good for a burn and turn breakfast place. Love the ambiance and decor, and establishment was very clean! I am curious if we just ordered the wrong items today. We may give it another go in the future and see how it goes with other items. I'll update if we do. Thanks for reading :)

We even had a conversation with the table next to us and they experienced the same thing! Anyway, I ordered the grilled chicken avocado sandwich and the house potatoes and a coke. Not bad, loved the house potatoes and a side of bacon cooked extra crispy. My hubby ordered pancakes, two patties (frozen) eggs and house potatoes too. He said they were ok but ate the food any way. The customer experience wasn't bad at all the waitress was quick and doing her best to get the food out hot and fresh. One thing would be great is to ask guests if it's their first time and share the favorites of the house and make recommendations. My suggestions to the owner, please replace the sliding chairs and if you need help getting some wooded high bar chairs, I can help. Would I try it again ?

This was VERY annoying. Our table ended up being ready in 30 mins which was nice but the conversation with the hostess to start then seemed ridiculously unnecessary. There is little waiting space inside and a makeshift host "area." I won't be back.
