    Zero wait time, our food came out super fast, and our server was really nice. The restaurant is in a strip mall with other stores and restaurants, it's a perfect location for breakfast and window shopping. The atmosphere in the restaurant was upbeat but not loud. Oh and they have a new blueberry-lemon cornbread (it's shareable), delicious! If you're in the area, make sure to give them a try! #HappyEating

    I have never had a bad meal at any first watch location. We came here at peak time...church let out on a Sunday (which we didn't realize because we weren't coming from church) and it was insanely busy. I think we waited 25-30 mins. Once we got in food came out quick and was hot. I will return, but off peak. It's one of the larger locations I've been to, so it was packed.

    I've lost count how many times, I've been here that's how amazing their breakfast are. Always fresh, huge portions, delicious food. One of my favorite breakfast, brunch spot. Below is a few of my favorites items.

    This is our first time in Nashville, and we've been enjoying fantastic breakfasts throughout our stay. Following a local recommendation, we decided to try an early breakfast at this charming establishment. Its vintage decor exudes a delightful Southern atmosphere. The diverse food menu offers a range of interesting and healthy options. We were impressed by the quality of the food and the excellent service. We all left very satisfied and highly recommend this place.

    Blueberry and banana granola pancakes. Grits and million dollar bacon.

    If Panera Bread were a legit breakfast spot, it would be this place. LOL! A real chill place with good service. I had two big different pancakes. One blueberry and one banana granola. Delicious. Great decision. The million dollar bacon was a mixture of sweet and savory. The grits were...ok. Overall a good meal with reasonable pricing. I would recommend.

    The traditional breakfast was very good!

    This is a nice breakfast spot that's located in a great part of town. I came here a bit ago with some friends and it was exactly what I hoped it would be: great food cooked fast. I typically try a simple breakfast when I'm trying out a new place (to make sure they can make the basics well) and First Watch lived up to my expectations. My eggs, bacons, home fries, and toast were cooked well and were very tasty. The service was good as well and I will definitely be back.

    I was several times for breakfast or lunch at this location, but also other locations. There is always a friendly service. It's not a "wow", but more nice people who make you feel welcome. Another important thing is a value, specifically lunch special "2 for you for $8.99. Half Roast Beef sandwich and half green avocado salad is great choice.

    Update: We went for brunch with the entire family. Nice outdoor seating even with two kids and service was great. Coffee (hot and iced) and OJ are so good here. The waitress was very attentive and pleasant. She accidentally brought the wrong order for my husband (veggie sandwich instead of a veggie burger) but when we pointed it out she was apologetic and immediately fixed the error and brought the correct food out quickly. Of course we were not charged for the incorrect order and took it home for later (and even it was so good!) We really love this place!

    Really good food. Careful, the pancakes are about a foot in diameter. Very fresh, tasty food, you can't go wrong.

    I've been here several times lately. Let me just say - I come here either for the pour over or to…read morebuy beans. I do think the food is better than that of most coffee shops, but I don't actually eat the food often. I've found the service to be good and for the staff to be friendly, but they only have one register, so the line may be a bit long if they are busy. It can be a bit loud, it it's a pleasant place to sit and drink coffee. The Well will normally have three pour over choices that are from their limited time offered beans. They see very fruity and flavorful, and I really enjoy that kind of coffee. They make them right where you can see them do it, and It's fun to watch the process. I've often come to try the pour over only to later buy a bag of beans for home. When you do, you get a free 12 ounce drip coffee. However, to be honest, the drip offerings seem rather mediocre to me. I would not go there to buy the batch drip coffee. I do know they have a good cappuccino, though. I debated lowering the rating when I thought about their main medium roast blend on drip - Confluence. They had a blend of Ethiopian and Kenyan beans, and it was some of the best coffee I ever had. Now, they've rotated to a blend of beans from Ethiopia and New Guinea. I bought a bag thinking it would be similar to what I had before, but it just wasn't anywhere near as good, unless you brew it as espresso. However, it's really the pour over that I drink here, so I'm keeping the eating at five stars.

    I love this coffee shop! Their mission of making clean water accessible globally is as sweet as…read moretheir lattes. It's a calming environment from the clean blue hues throughout the store to the live plants all around. The inviting space is great for a small meeting amongst colleagues or friends, but can also provide a cozy study corner. The house espresso is smooth and balanced. The most unique seasonal coffee menu item is the fygge newton - I order mine with almond milk which is perfectly sweet and nutty.

Open 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Sunday through Friday, with extended hours to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday, they offer a massive eating space, a large outdoor patio, even a double decker basketball court and a foosball table! The grilled cheese sandwich on sourdough made on site with gooey provolone, cheddar, and swiss, is quite tasty! Their baked goods are delicious, including a scrumptious cinnamon roll when it's not sold out, and their extensive selection of hot and cold drinks is impressive for this secluded coffee shop! Combo meals also allow the addition of a soup or Block & Barrel chips, a deliciously flavorful brand out of Texas. I guess the 5,000 church members provide sufficient patronage to keep business booming, but anyone is welcome to dine here and you can relax unbothered for hours. Sunday until 12:30 p.m. is pretty busy, as is Tuesday night, but the rest of the time it's a pretty quiet spot! The church does have free wifi, but it's a bit slower than most.

Though they have other food…read moreofferings, the crepes are my favorite - usually ordering one sweet and one savory (to share). Their specialty lattes are solid; I often get the Eiffel Tower or Dulce de Leche. The Best Chocolate Bar Ever latte is a sweet chocolate caffeine fix as well. The Perch is a smaller spot with both indoor and outdoor seating, first come first served; guests order and pay at the counter, then are given a number, and food/drinks are brought to your table. Prices are not cheap, but the food and drinks are reasonable and reliable. This spot is a gem, and you never know who you'll see here. Also, I love that they do punch cards (buy 10 coffees and get 1 free, if I'm not mistaken) - even though I usually forget to bring my existing card and keep starting a new one.

They do have more than crepes; they offer really good breakfast burritos that I'd definitely recommend as well. If you're ever in the area, I'd say it's well worth the stop.
