There are a few First Watch locations around Denver but I have always gone to the one in Southglenn. It's a cute and clean little place and I'm happy to have it back open. We chose to sit outside on the patio, as did most of the socially distanced groups. The staff is still a bit thin and it took a while to get drinks and order. Once the order was placed our food arrived quickly. I had the standard breakfast with 2 eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast. The eggs seemed a bit slim but were tasty with a bit of green onion on top. They only had artisan bread as the toast but it was crazy good especially with the homemade jam. I asked for the bacon crispy and it was perfect! Surprisingly crispy bacon is hard to get right at most places ‍. I enjoy First Watch very much and I think you will too! read more

Came here for breakfast on a Sunday. The service was fast, the food was tasty. We had traditional breakfast. I have multiple food sensitivities so I asked for gluten free bread. Unfortunately the bread had corn and sunflower oil in it (the waitress was very nice and brought me the bread packet to check on ingredient list), so I opted for a few slices of avocado instead. We were very satisfied overall. read more

I had the fresh squeezed orange juice, and the Trifecta with a Belgian waffle, scrambled eggs and chicken sausage. It best waffle I've ever had in my life! It was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside and just so light and delicious. The chicken sausage was savory and had fresh herbs in it. The only downside was they charged extra when I asked for maple syrup. read more

So Here I Was,,Nearly a Week into 2022 and a Week into the Keto Diet When Some good friends Came to town, We enjoyed a Bottle of wine, they Stay over and wanted to take Me to Breakfast in the Morning. First Watch Came through!! We are all Coffee achievers, So that was a Critical prerequisite (A) and we all enjoyed breakfasts Suited for our particular dietary leanings. I've never had "greens' for Breakfast but honestly they were great- after the first Bite (I needed to get over it). The waitress was attentive and Pleasant. The Food Was great ! I look forward to my next visit?!! read more

I met up with my hubby here for lunch one day, lunch was fine but the service was very slow. There was no on to greet us as we walked in the door. Servers walked past, the guy cleaning tables saw us (and the others behind us) and they all kept walking. So we waited till someone finally came to seat us. The food came in a longish reasonable amount of time. I got 1/2 roast beef and havarti sandwich and 1/2 chicken avocado chop salad. Both were nice enough to finish but nothing to dance about. My husband had a burger and soup. He said the burger was great! Juicy and delicious. He also enjoyed his soup. Then again we waited, and waited, and waited till I stopped someone else and asked him if we had to pay at the register or if someone will bring us a check. He bought us the check then told us to pay at the register! We never saw our waitress again after the food was delivered so I guess she was done with us. read more

2 stars for outdoor dining and a sweet waitress The eggs were not scrambled and the pancake was dry yet tasted like it was cooked in oil. The explanation at the cashier station was " sorry, we have new kitchen staff". Sorry, we won't be back. read more

Loved this new breakfast place near Southglen mall. It is definitely a good alternative to Snooze if you don't want to wait. They have super healthy options and normal food. I went with a group of ladies and they kept our coffee full (even gave us our own carafe) and the wait staff was knowledgeable and friendly. We all had several things but loved the buckwheat pancakes and the bacon the best. read more

The name of this cute brunch/lunch spot may sound like a meteorology center or medical office but its actually a little hidden gem in an unassuming strip mall in Centennial. The cafe focuses on healthy-type food with fresh produce but honestly if you wanna get bacon or pancakes and live a little this place accommodates those cravings as well! Great mixture of menu items for all parties. I went here for brunch with my friend on a Sat late morning after yoga. The place is quite large and open with plenty of patio seating as well. The service excellent - our waitress m fretted is promptly and was incredibly friendly. For my drink I got a nice cold pressed juice called Morning Meditation (how appropriate that I had just come from yoga!) which is made with organs, lemon, tumeric, ginger, agave nectar and beets! For my brunch entree I got a large fluffy seasonal pumpkin pancake (delish!) with chicken sausage and fluffy scrambled eggs. Served with warm syrup. And unlike other brunch spots I didn't feel uncomfortably stuffed, it was just the right amount of food! I definitely plan to come back to try their other juices and their lunch-y items like the sandwiches!4 read more

First visit to First Watch. We went at 7:30 am on a Saturday, and sat outside. Staff was very welcoming of our two puppies, which was one reason we tried this place. Patio was nice, pretty flowers, but noisy due to proximity to University Blvd. and unnecessarily loud music. We appreciated the shade (patio is on the west side). Husband had the Trifecta (2 eggs, 2 sausage links and one pancake) and was left a bit hungry. Food was very good, especially the pancake. I had the bacon avocado omelet with home fries and while grain toast, all delicious. Coffee was good, and we liked that they left the pot. Good experience overall, but a little pricy--with tip over $35 for breakfast. read more

Today my friends and I went here for brunch and just like every time, they amazed us!! A kind lady held the door for us as we walked in and we were greeted with good vibes and smiles from each staff member we passed. The food came out surprisingly fast and the waitress was also very prompt with our requests. I got the purple haze juice and the featured breakfast quesadillas, delicious. This location is by far my favorite they never disappoint! read more

We go to First Watch all the time; it's the favorite breakfast spot of both of my teenagers. Love the waitlist feature to save time. Their seasonal specials are amazing!! I NEED them to bring back the Million Dollar Breakfast Sandwich (eggs, sausage & bacon, oh my!). Their regular menu is delicious, too, though. Try the Bacado Omelet, Million Dollar Bacon, Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, and/or any one of their fresh juices. Geez, I am making myself hungry... The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because the service is sometimes a little slow. But it's always friendly! read more

We always have a good experience when we eat at first watch. They change the menu seasonally so we do get a chance to try new things. The jelly for their toast is divine and I could literally eat that by itself. Same with the fruit compote for the French toast! Literally so yummy! The staff is attentive and friendly, but even more impressive is that a manager is always present and doesn't appear to work hard with the rest of them. Super impressed and happy to support this business read more

Our party of seven were greeted warmly and welcoming today on a Sunday morning. Sure, a party this size needed to wait which is expected and this location is very popular due to the quality and service. Great food, broad menu selection, served hot with creative tasty dishes. Cool indoors seating and a good sized outdoor patio with plenty of shade. Jonah does a terrific job running the show with efficiency and respect for everyone, both customers and staff. So much fun. We're so pleased to have selected this First Watch location to entertain friends and family. Good choice. Thank You All. read more

Honestly, we popped into First Watch just knowing it was a breakfast spot. It definitely skews more healthy than your average spot. Turkey sausage, gluten free options, kale and whole grains fill the menu. I got the elevated egg sandwich with what they say is a fresh, over-easy cage-free egg with bacon, Gruyere cheese, fresh smashed avocado, mayo and lemon dressed arugula on a brioche bun. Served with fresh, seasoned potatoes. The sandwich was good, balanced flavors and tasted fresh. Although, I told my husband it wasn't anything I couldn't make at home. The potatoes where especially awful. They had an overpowering onion taste, although no onions were visible. It was like someone got crazy with onion powder. I drowned them in hot sauce! Coffee was wonderful. Service was friendly. It was nice and I would try it again. It definitely appeals to those looking for healthier options to start your day. read more

On way to Texas, stopped for breakfast and thru Yelp found First Watch. What a pleasant Surprise!!! Service was exceptional!! Food was delicious!! Cleanest restaurant on trip. RECOMMEND!! read more

Only been here a couple times, but I've had nothing but great food and experiences. All the food taste fresh and the coffee is great. I love how they give you the whole pot of coffee so you do not have to wait for refills for more coffee! Another thing I like is for entrees they have multiple selections. What I mean is they have like meat, veggie, or other options of that dish. Both dishes I tried, the eggs Benedict and some hash brown and eggs dish, both were very delicious!! I went with my friend once and he is allergic to flax seed and I guess the toast that came with the meal had flax seed in it and they were VERY nice about switching it out no problem. They brought out new toast and waitress was nice about the whole situation. The whole restaurant is very clean, open and bright. I love that this restaurant is so close to my house so I can keep going back. read more

The food isn't good, it's very bland and I've had the whole menu. Not a single thing I've enjoyed eating there

Avocado toast with the basted eggs made my morning, big avocado chunks and tasty seasoning. Had a kale tonic that was tasty, note it does have added sugars. read more

Delicious breakfast!! We get this delivered to work often and I've never not liked it. Wish they would include more fruit topping with their waffles though. read more

I wanted to go here since they opened because I had been to a First Watch in Florida and had a good experience. I'm happy to report I found my favorite menu item: Avocado Toast w/ Eggs. The bread they use is healthy and thick. The avocado was fresh and the eggs were done perfectly. Thanks for coming to Colorado! read more

I really loved the food at First Watch, the omelettes were great along w the small side salad and the "many grains" toast was delicious too! The coffee was not my style, I'm not a pungent girl and really love smoky smooth coffee, which they don't have. It's more of your typical South American or African brew that's a lot more acidic.... I wish there was an option, so my option was to get the iced tea. The wait staff for the most part were nice. Seems like they really want you to have a good experience. For food alone, minus the coffee selections, I'd give them 5 stars. Service for the most part is pretty good too. I rated this place a 3 this time is because I had some issues with my service. My server was friendly but she forgot to refill our ice teas on a few occasions. She was going to get it, and 12 mins later I didn't see her (maybe she went on break but they weren't busy) so I went to get someone to help me, which everyone was friendly no big deal but it was a couple of times asking for the tea to our server and then I had to get it myself. Then I really drop the stars this time because I was waiting at the check out line to pay, and waited another 10+ mins cuz there were 4 ppl in front of me.... to get to my turn and have another lady take the person behind me first. She didn't ask if he was next, but she took his payment first when I'm still in line. He did step out away from the lines, and that whole area is not user friendly, but I was not happy when I had to wait and he didn't. She could simply check to see who's next, she didn't. That's not cool First Watch, I don't leave mediocre reviews.... but getting missed over and over in the same visit really bothered me enough to say something - and people will always remember how you made them feel. The original lady that was running the registers came back to help me when she saw that I got skipped, but there was no acknowledgement from either wait staff to note that I was missed.... I did speak up to say I was skipped..... but nothing, no acknowledgement..... and though she said thanks for coming in, I don't think I'll be back. Maybe I'll try another location next time for more attentive service? but then again was the food really that great to go back for? Now I'm not sure. read more

Horrible coffee; tasted like sour water at best. Even for a diner this was way off chart. And the cold brew? Geez please someone save those poor organic coffee beans; they deserve so much better brewing. Claimed to be healthy? See those old and very sad salad greens. Maybe for them "freshness" was not important. Other food items were mediocre at most. The only above-average thing here was the interior. Oh and the price! read more

First Watch - Short rib Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Centennial, Colorado

I am sorry to say that this was not at all what we expected. Surprise can be good or not so good...Unfortunately this time was not so good. I guess I maybe should've looked closer at the description of the Eggs Benedict. I expected Classic Eggs Benedict to be just that. It actually was shaved deli ham on a half of a toasted sub roll. The eggs were very small and there was not much hollaindaise. Needless to say I did not keep eating till I was full. My husband got a Belgian waffle. It was pretty much a overly done top and bottom crust with air in between. Sigh! We really look forward to our weekend breakfasts... oh well, maybe next time. read more

This is probably one of our favorite spots to eat breakfast and lunch. When you walk in, you can see beautiful handwriting if there newest enters along with cute drawings. The place is cleaned and has a farmhouse style to it. The staff is friendly upon every entry and they are quick to seat you. Starting with breakfast, I always love the A.M. Superfoods Bowl because it is a healthier option and the taste is delicious. This entree is a large bowl of coconut chia seed pudding, oats, berries and bananas. It is served cold and with toast and almond butter. I would recommend this dish to anyone trying something new but also wants to stay on the healthy side. While your eating, try one of their many juices they have. They are enhance the meal because it gives it a cool refreshing taste. read more

A friend of mine and I always do an OTF class and then walk over to First Watch for brunch and conversation. I usually have the power bowl which has quinoa, sausage, mushrooms, tomato, EVOO and eggs. It is delicious and great to refuel after a workout! Typically we always have the Morning Meditation juice after as well which has beet juice, agave, and other ingredients. At about 10:30 AM it's busy on Sundays so we usually grab a spot at the high top community table. Great food and environment- a staple! read more

My husband and I were excited to try this place, especially based on the positive reviews, unfortunately we were very disappointed in our meals. On a high note the staff was very friendly and the place was clean. Although, our server was not very attentive or quick. My omelet was full of under cooked onions which made it fairly inedible. My husband's eggs benedict were piled high with smoked turkey lunch meat, which was just odd, and the hollandaise was overly lemony and overpowered the dish. His side of bacon was not served with the meal and even after requesting it he didn't receive it right away. By the time it was brought out it was the consistency of leather. With so many other independent restaurant options we will not be returning here. read more

They have a great menu of very fresh selections! The outside patio has been perfect in nice weather. However, eating inside is great too because seating works for social distancing! The staff is very friendly and service is top notch! Brooke is my favorite wait person because she is attentive and actually remembers my favorite drink. She is an asset to First Watch. Amazing food, service and price. Fresh food choices are key! Highly recommended! read more

I've heard quite a few great reviews of First Watch so I figured I had to try it out. I'm an definitely one that loves brunch, so most places win me over immediately with the promise of breakfast and lunch foods. We used the app, and arrived a little before the time the app said, just in case. Little did we know that we needed to check in when we got there, definitely our fault because it was written all over the place. This added to our wait time. It took a little while but we got seated. The food was good, no complains here. Was it the best breakfast I've ever had? No. Was it the worst? No. It was good. I'm will probably visit again but it won't be my regular brunch stop for me. read more

First time here and recommended by a family member. My wife had the Chickichanga and enjoyed the meal. She said it had a "nice" bite to it. I had the Inspired Italian Frittata. "Very Good"! I also dared to try the salad greens in place of the potatoes and I'm glad I did. The menu is unique but will also appeal to those who prefer a more traditional fare. read more

First and last time to First Watch this morning. I usually go across the street to the always delicious Snooze to get my Benedict fix. I stumble upon First Watch because of it's mostly positive reviews and because it's healthy / vegetarian / vegan options it was promoting in it's description. I thought I would score some "gluten free brownie points" with my part time vegan wife by recommending this place. A lot of things on the menu sounded tasty. I settled on a standard Benedict with ham and opted for potatoes instead of the standard pairing of lemon dressed greens. As well as the "million dollar bacon" which I have cleverly renamed "five dollar letdown" The benedict looked the part but oddly was very bland. Almost no taste at all to the ham or the hollandaise sauce. Strange right? Our server was very kind and service was prompt. We ordered a fresh juice concoction and after telling her it was so good, she kindly brought out samples of the other juices and they were just as tasty. First Watch. Delicious juice concoctions. Good service. Meh food. read more

We recently went to the FirstWatch on S. University Blvd. What a delight!! The host & our server was Dalton. He is very personable, great at his job & engaging.

If you want a great experience & excellent food in a nice atmosphere, this FirstWatch should be your choice !! read more
