    Breakfast menu
    Lisa A.

    Went here for brunch. Had a few missteps. We ordered the doughnut holes and never got them. We ordered the sangria, and it's listed as a pitcher, but we were served an individual drink. We brought it up to the waitress who apologized but didn't get us the pitcher. Not really a big deal. I had the chile chorizo omelette. Based on its ingredients, I expected more flavor. It was fine, but not a good as it could have been. My husband got the chickichanga, and the smoked chicken carried that dish. It was pretty good. Overall I was underwhelmed by the place, but the French toast does look delicious so we are willing to give it another shot.

    Easy brunch, fantastic service, and delicious options. Definitely quicker than most locations. I try something new everytime and its always delicious.

    Pumpkin Pancake Breakfast comes with eggs & chicken apple sausage
    Kyshia M.

    I'm so glad I stopped here for breakfast because everything was AMAZING! Luckily I got here ahead of the crowd and was able to snag a seat at the bar. For my drink I ordered the Morning Meditation Juice and it's fresh squeezed!!! It comes with orange, lemon, turmeric, organic ginger, agave nectar and beet. So good and freshing! For my meal I decided to stick with the fall theme and get the pumpkin pancake meal which comes with eggs & chicken apple sausage. I ordered my eggs fried hard. The chicken apple sausage was a delight! I like how it's not the traditional link sausage everyone else uses and it had herbs in it. It was in a patty form and you get 2. it tasted like it was made in-house. The pumpkin pancake was light, fluffy inside with a crisp edge. The size is a large round so although it only came with one, it was all I needed. Needless to say I scraped the plate and had not one crumb left. I really like how the syrup is served warm! I'm not sure about their other locations but this one is one I'd come back to for sure. The payment method is easy too! I was able to scan the QR & pay with apple pay. No need to wait for your card & have to sign! I wish more places did that.

    Flavorful menu selections, service was very personable, friendly and attentive. They sell their own brand of coffee strong and tasty. Funny we have seen them in 6 states we have lived and quality go beyound statelines glad to see their close by.

    Great breakfast spot, you can never go wrong! It was clean and the food was delish!! Our waitress seemed like she didn't have her morning cup of tea

    Avocado Toast
    Ray V.

    I use to order breakfast here if not daily every other day to-go. The only problem was I would always find lettuce in the A.M. Superfoods Bowl. I mention to them once that this keeps happening, but that didn't change anything because I kept finding lettuce in my Superfoods Bowl like they're using the same utensils. Now, it's probably been a few of months since I've order here and now the Avocado Toast doesn't even have seasoning or salt on it, Avocado isn't even chopped up anymore and the eggs are just bland. Not to mention a funny taste to it. I couldn't even eat it sadly. As a chef in my previous career, this location is becoming a disappointment. At least for to-go orders. Whatever changed it shows. Most likely will be finding another FirstWatch.

    We clearly hated it! Came in on a Wednesday mid morning for brunch. We were seated immediately, and our drinks came out fast. We tried the Raspberry Ricotta French Toast, Million Dollar Bacon, Honey Caramel Crunch Iced Coffee, and Elevated Egg Sandwich. Everything came out super fast and was delicious! Our server was friendly and attentive. The restaurant was nice and clean and had a cute farmhouse theme going on. Overall we had a great experience and would love to come back! Hopefully I'll remember to take photos BEFORE we clean our plates lol. Thanks First Watch team!

    Chicken Hash Bowl

    Ok the good... the outside area is nice for fall weather... food is good... when you finally get it. The service was good, she was very nice but spread too thin for the area she was covering. We ordered a breakfast sandwich and a chicken hash bowl, also a waffle it took 45 minutes. I could have gone and grocery shopped and gone home and made the food quicker. Second time visiting, this was a Sunday with my husband. First time by myself on. Saturday and Eggs Benedict took 40 minutes and was cold. Great potential.. I will wait awhile before going back. I am sure my review will not deter people, which is good, but pack a book, your patience and if you have kids make sure a snack before.

    On 1/19 my family and I decided to give the newest First Watch a try. I went with my husband and daughter. First Watch is my favorite breakfast spot and of course I ordered my usual: The Trifecta (Chocolate Chip Pancake, w/ Chicken Sausage and Potatoes instead of Eggs) and hubby ordered the Works Omelette. Unfortunately, our food was taken to the table sitting right next to us. They ordered before us so I didn't think anything of it when their food was brought out. Until one of them sent their food back. The other just thought she had the wrong side. They took the plate back into the kitchen and then brought it to my husband. I could hear the kitchen staff a little upset about having to remake my food. What was even weirder the person who brought out the food was both of our waitress. There wasn't any apology or communication about why my food came out 10-15 minutes after my husband's. This location is closer to home but I think it still has some kinks to work on. Until then I'll keep going to the South Park location.

    Traditional breakfast 2 eggs bacon potatoes and toast

    Service is very slow, @850am. Only a couple of people in the dinning area. Our waitress has walked pass us couple of times ask if we was ready to order then she disappeared before taking our order. Once we got to order and the food was served: the eggs were cooked to perfection. The bacon was delicious. The potatoes are little over seasoned for my taste. Overall it was a good breakfast.

That's because they had a huge map outlining the historical trade routes that coffee beans were transported on, as well as an homage to some of the patrons of coffee cultivation. They backed up these historical displays with great customer service, a solid cup of coffee, and a truly mesmerizing ambiance. I've been to so many coffee shops in my life, and Qahwah House was the first time, if not ever, then definitely in a long time, that I felt like I experienced something unique. I loved it. Overall, I loved Qahwah House, and I'll assuredly be back as soon as I can. I'd also recommend it to anybody looking for something new to experience!

Service was fast you order with them and sit down until they buzz you. Parking is a little tough here as there lot is undergoing construction. There is street parking but weekends might be tough. It feels like another world when I sit enter this place and sit down. Nice place to hang out with friends and play board games or catch up.

It's a very happening spot for young and old, families and friends, people looking to work, and others just there to chill and relax. The line was out the door for the duration of my time there, but do not let that deter you. They have ample space to handle the crowd and it's well staffed with people constantly walking around helping and answering questions. Service is fast and everyone is so nice. They have a variety of seating arrangements which makes it great for large or small groups. This may sound like a lot is going on, and it is...but at the same time it's very relaxing and chill. You place your order at the counter and I'm telling you, they have a great variety to choose from. My party shared some chicken flatbread, a Caprese style appetizer(not its name), and sweet potato cheesecake. Whe all enjoyed some coffee made to order for our liking. We even ordered some pistachio and dubai chocolate desserts to go. Everything was superb! We sat and talked for hours and just soaked in the environment. I had such a great experience and I'm really looking forward to dining here again.
