    Chocolate chip pancake with bacon
    Lisa M.

    The food was unique and tasty, but limited. It's good for me since I'm vegetarian, but my husband wasn't happy with no burgers for lunch only turkey or veggie. The kid's chocolate chip pancake our grandson loved and it came with a cup of whipped cream. I enjoyed the rustic frittata which came with salad. The purple tea was tasty as well, but kind of pricey at $6. It's worth a try for brunch, seemed busy and food was tasty. The ambiance was industrial looking, more for a younger crowd.

    First watch is by far me and my family's favorite breakfast place in Brooksville. The service is wonderful and everyone is always so kind. The food is always very good and fresh. My personal favorite is the Parma hash. My only critiques (and I acknowledge this is likely a corporate thing and shouldn't be used to reflect on this location) is the discontinued selling of their bread. Their bread is amazing and I'm so sad we can no longer buy loaves for our homes. I also noticed the seasonal coffee (mint mocha) drink hasn't changed in like 2 years.

    Cute place. The open ceilings make it a little noisy inside but the food and service is worth it. The servers are very pleasant. The food is fresh, tasty and plentiful! Definitely will come back!

    Elevated Egg Sandwich
    Elizabeth M.

    First Watch in Brooksville has fresh delicious food. 2nd time here and we were not disappointed. I ordered the 2 For You of a half Monterey Club sandwich and the 1/2 Sweet Honey Pecan salad. Wow! The greens and topping in the salad were fresh & crisp. The dressing is fantastic and compliments the salad perfectly. The bread on the sandwich was fresh but for me I would have preferred the bread to be toasted. There was plenty of Turkey and toppings in the sandwich. My mom-in-law had the Elevated Egg Sandwich. She could not stop raving about how delicious the sandwich was and she loved the potatoes. We both left nothing on our plates. Once again it was all very fresh and delicious. We look forward to coming back & trying something different.

Anyway, we walked in, and it is your typical diner atmosphere with a few seats and just felt cozy like a mom and pop kind of place. A young girl told us it was open seating, so we chose the nearest booth. Once we sat down, and made ourselves comfortable, the server brought us menus and asked what we wanted to drink. I got coffee and water, and my daughter asked for orange juice. The coffee was very, very good. I drank 2 cups before my food even arrived. We didn't wait very long before the food came, and it was a LOT of food. We both had to box it up and take it home. We both got the same thing, which was the scrambled bowl (I hope that's the correct name of the dish). It was very good. We both had the loaded egg with American cheese on it and it came with a busicut, toast, or bagel and since I can't eat bread, my daughter had my biscuit. She devoured that. She said she loved how the bread had just the right amount of toasting on the top, as though they butter it and put it face down on the grill. I will definitely be back again! PS the picture of the food does not justice on the taste of it.

I picked out a half dozen of various flavors and waited a few minutes as I watched my donuts being made before my eyes. There's a machine that pours the batter and cooks the donuts individually. After they're cooked, they are brought to an area where the staff members craft each donut , adding sprinkles, syrup, frosting , chocolate, cinnamon, etc. . I brought mine home and quickly made some coffee. These donuts were amazing! The flavors were true to taste, nothing artificial. The donuts were soft and fluffy in texture. So glad this shop came to town. Dunkin, you'd better watch out!

Because they were so hot it was a bit hard to dip and add the toppings. They squished a bit in the workers hand. They tasted delicious, a very fresh cake like donut. They had many flavor options!

They had so many toppings from graham crackers, cereal pieces vanilla frosting and Carmel drizzle.
