Trendy decor and unique menu options do make this place a standout in the BCS area. I had the new root juice with beets and ginger if you like little kick in your morning beverage. To eat, I had the avocado toast, with generous portions of avocado and two nicely served medium eggs over easy. I liked the carafe of coffee at the table and my server was most pleasant. All that said, I didn't think the food itself extraordinary, especially not for the price. Also, the loud music at 7a.m. was a little unnerving that early. It made me feel anxious and like I needed to eat quickly and get out. Definite potential, but not quite a home run. read more

All the meat options are loaded with sugar, you have to pay extra for potatoes, and breakfast is all served salad. I'm a very healthy eater but I can't last but maybe 2 hours after veggie egg omelette and salad. Try someplace else unless you like your bacon with about a full two-days worth of sugar loaded on top. read more

We don't have many brunch selections here in Bryan but this is definitely my favorite brunch spot. I wasn't a fan of their juices but they have great breakfast sandwiches that I always get and their avocado toast is super good too!! read more

We had our last brunch here before leaving College Station. Crowded as usual but we were able to get seated without waiting too long. Food is great as usual. I can never finish even half the portion. Service is great too. Already miss the place. read more

My husband and I were here a week ago for breakfast. It was delicious the wait staff was friendly. We loved the food. It's nice to have healthier options around when you're looking to eat out. read more

I am so impressed and thrilled that college station finally has another legit brunch place! The inside is super hip and appealing to the eye- it doesn't look like a small town type of place. Of course it is a chain. It was super crowded but we went on a Sunday let morning. I had the hash with bacon, avocado, etc and over easy eggs on top. It was absolutely delicious!! Can't remember what it was called. Also tried the breeze juice which was refreshing. My expectations for service were low but our waiter did a great job! Our orders were perfect and he was always there to refill water and ask us if we needed anything else. Will definitely be returning in the future and look forward to trying other things! read more

Never pick up from here. I got there at the time it said to pick up my food and I still had to wait 30 minutes. Terrible service, no one at the pick up stand. GO TO SNOOZE. Snooze is so much better read more

Great atmosphere, food and hospitality! Love everything I have tried thus far, especially the kale tonic. Great pkace for a quick breakfast or a leisurely lunch with friends. Can't wait til next time! read more

So I had to wait to be seated because there was no one in the front. Then she seat me at the back in the private room which I felt offended because I was the only black person in there so why didn't she ask was it ok to seat me in the back. Why couldn't I be seated in the front with everyone else. Social distancing on yea but it was almost empty. I didn't get any napkins. So do ppl expect you to use the napkin that came with your silverware. Why do I have to ask. I said eggs well done because ppl like to cook them and leave them a little runny so it was browned. She didn't act like I was there and they kept staring which ok I know I look good but it's rude to stare. I'm overeating out with no good service and rude ppl. They don't care about you anyway. When can we get ppl to start caring. So over it read more

The food is consistently great. Service is always great as well. Banana crunch pancakes and million dollar bacon are our very favorite! New cocktail options are a plus read more

So, first of all, I have been here many many times and have always had great service. Today was by far the worst experience I have ever had at this place. My significant other ordered an eggs Benedict without tomatoes because she was allergic, which that came out super raw with the eggs barely even cooked. We waited for our waitress to come back to check on us and she never came. We had to stop another waiter to get it fixed. After the other waiter took it back to get it fixed we still never saw our waitress. Another server brought the new Benedict out and guess what had tomatoes on it. Sent that one back and still did not hear from our waitress as she has now walked passed our table multiple times. After 25 minutes and having the urge to leave she finally showed up with her food. Note this entire time we also had her empty drink cup at the edge of the table clearly visible that it needed to be filled for over 30 minutes. I know this is not a normal thing for this place but this was very disappointing. read more

The 2 Hour wait was definitely worth it . I know it was busy because of Easter Sunday, and me and my friends waited and then the food came out.... and it was complete worth the while read more

Wow,this place was awesome. I had a fresh juice that woke me up after a long night of drinking. And then the food was spectacular. It was made with fresh ingredients and the Millionaire bacon was some of the best bacon i had in a long time. I highly recommend this place. read more

WOW. First Watch is by far on of my favorite breakfast spots. I have never been done wrong and the staff always seems to be extremely helpful. My personal favorite is the Floridian French Toast and I can't wait to try more things from there. The reason I did give 4 stars is because it is a little pricey but to be honest, it is completely worth the giant amount of food you are being served. read more

Every time we eat breakfast here it's nothing short of amazing. The food is always delicious, the service is always great, and the wait times are never too long even if the restaurant is packed! We will continue to come here, and highly recommend!! read more

First watch is by far one of my favorite breakfast spots! Their food is absolutely delish and they have such an extensive menu. However, a lot of their dishes are egg based, and as a person who doesn't exactly like a ton of eggs, your options can be cut a little short. Btw, the pancakes are HUGE! read more

The food is great, but even with the no wait app it still takes forever. I love the brunch selection here and everything is really good. They tend to get super busy super fast so sometimes you don't get to see your waiter as often read more

Great place for breakfast. Everything was really good. Plan to come back and try something new next time. The staff was really nice and friendly. My husband had the special - Brisket Hash with potatoes & eggs. I had the TriAthlete breakfast and my son had the yogurt & granola bowl. Plenty of food. We could not eat it all. Everything we saw that came from the kitchen looked great!! Especially the egg sandwich. read more

First Watch - Found them on Yelp! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - College Station, Texas

We spent the weekend in college station for the A&M vs. UCLA game. We ate breakfast here on our last morning in town and wished it was our first morning because we would have come here more than once. The food was fresh, delicious and without a doubt the best meal we had during our 4 day stay in college station. We ordered avocado toast, biscuits and gravy (which were AMAZING) and the traditional breakfast. Daniel was our server. He was efficient, helpful and fun to interact with. Highly Recommend!! read more

Signed up online for a table, received a text confirmation and when we got there was told we were not on the list. I showed the hostess the text and picture of the confirmation...she said sorry your not on the list,our app might be messed up but there is nothing I can do. She did not try to accommodate and told us we could be put at the end of the list which was over an hour wait. Love their food but can't believe how we were treated and it was embarrassing too! read more

One of our all-time fave breakfast spots. Worst thing about it is the wait. Definitely log in on the app

Food was great as always. Cstat needed a FW but I just cannot get over the hostess/cashier as she just had the saddest demeanor and was just rude. I hope her day gets better but it made the whole experience just unwelcoming read more

I will definitely be back next time I'm in College Station. Started with their kale fresh squeezed juice with cucumber- very refreshing and just barely sweet. I ordered their yogurt and fruit, and ordered a pancake just so I could have a couple of bites.....well, holy cow. Banana and granola pancake ruled! It is huge, covers a dinner plate. I had about 4 bites with a bit of syrup, the rest of it I decided against. Great service, the lemon curd pancakes of my table mate looked fabulous as well. It was packed, especially for a summer Thursday AM. Apparently there are some other locations, but it didn't feel franchisey at all. read more

I really want to like this place, but almost everything I have tried has had some fatal flaw. My favorite thing to order should be the regular eggs benedict, but of the six times I've ordered it, five times it has come out somewhere between luke warm and cold. I've sent it back numerous times hoping they would get it, but eventually I just stopped ordering it because I want to eat with my family. So I tried the scrambles, but they are so heavy on potatoes that I can't enjoy it. So I tried the omelets, but the ingredients were folded into a cooked egg nearly raw themselves. Over time I've tried approximately ten items on the menu, with nearly the same experience every time, that the dish should be good but isn't because of some varied failure to execute. When prodded to go back I begrudgingly order the lemon ricata pancakes, my 11th choice on the menu, because that one they get right. read more

If you can get a spot to sit it is a great place. Nice country feeling environment and nice waitstaff when we went.

First Watch was yummy, they have the best egg sandwich! They also have oatmilk creamer, which is awesome for someone who is lactose intolerant! Not many places have that. We had an awesome waitress, named Sinahy, she made our first time there great! Would definitely go again! read more

I've been going here since August 2017 and I have never been disappointed. On busy days like the weekends or college events (move in, graduation, etc...) you will need to have the app in order to get in line, but the wait has always been worth it. The staff are always friendly and attentive, and don't rush you. They do have a policy of putting the check on the table when you're about halfway through the meal, but this is only so you can leave at your leisure and don't have to flag them down. I've noticed a lot of the same staff working there the whole time (the last two years), which shows good management. The food is great, I've had over half the menu at this point, and it's so big that there is always something for everyone. I love their seasonal additions and beverages. If you have the app and sign up for emails, you'll get a $2 coupon towards your ticket on a rolling basis. I almost always have one ready whenever I go. The place is always clean, trendy, efficient, and bustling (but not crazy feeling). I recommend this for families, groups of friends, breakfast/coffee dates, and even solo-eating. They have a community table and you don't have to feel awkward having some pancakes while reading a book. I would NOT recommend this place to study because it can get loud, and you would be taking up a table for a server for hours that would normally get multiple customers through. The prices are around $1-3 more than I would want to spend on any dish or drink, but the portions and taste are always good. I love the Chickichanga, the Farmhouse Skillet Hash, the Turkey Sausage Gravy and Biscuits, the Avocado Toast, and the Morning Meditation. And of course their massive Chocolate Chip pancakes. It's my go-to place to meet people for the first time because I know it will be a good experience for all! read more

Fantastic food! Great service! Appreciate the healthy choices! The choice of eggs Benedict is incredible. We had the multi-grain granola banana nut pancakes. All I can say is WOW! Yummy! read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - College Station, Texas

The food was fine, but the service was very bad. Our server took our drink order, then our food order, then was never seen again! Random other servers (I assume) cleaned our food and brought us the check. I wanted another coffee but was never given the opportunity. My husbands blueberry pancake was not very good, it seemed much too mushy around the blueberries. The food wasn't bad, it just wasn't as good as I've had at other first watches. read more

We got here at 9:45 and put our names on the list. At the time, we were told we were fifth in line. 20 minutes later we were third in line and at least six parties who came in after us were seated. Another 10 minutes passed and we watched at least three more parties who walked in after us get seated. My fiancée asked how much longer our wait was and was informed we were again fifth in line. When we asked why, we were advised that other people had called ahead or put themselves in line on the app and we got bumped. After waiting 40 minutes for a table, we walked out. Worst experience at a First Watch ever! We won't return read more

This place is awesome. Food was great!! Floor was a bit sticky or would have gotten 5 stars.

Love First Watch! The staff is super friendly and the superfoods bowl is to die for. I can't wait to try the rest of the menu!

The food is really good and the price is reasonable. As long as you time it right the wait isn't too long. The seating is pretty close together which I'm not personally a fan of but that doesn't reflect the service. read more

Sat for 10 minutes, a server helped the table next to us multiple times but nobody ever took our drink order. They were not packed at all and there were multiple workers sitting at the bar talking to each other. read more

Best damn coffee I've ever had. It was smooth & delicious. The food was great, too. Wish I could have eaten more of it but it's a big portion. The wait times suck for weekend brunch but it's because it's so popular. There's outdoor seating if you brought your doggie. My only complaint is the waiter really wouldn't tell us what brand of coffee they use. I'd gladly buy it from them or try their brew method. There were three coffee drinkers in my party, one drinks coffee black, about 3 cups, for as long as I've been alive and even she loved the coffee. read more

Great breakfast, terrible service. We've eaten here lots of times and the food is always on point, as well as having some terrific coffee. As long as you do the online check in, the wait for a table isn't that bad. The real wait happens after you're seated though. By the time someone actually comes to see what you would like to drink, you've already had enough time to read the whole menu twice and also figure out what it is you want to eat. And this is before you've even been able to get one sip of coffee. For a breakfast joint, they don't seem to realize how important coffee is in the mornings. We were helped by no less than five different wait staff, all of whine we only saw once, except for one girl who happened to stop by the table twice. The poor service here is what drove me to finally make a yelp account, Service this poor has to be remarked on. read more

I really love their omelette!! The service can be a bit slow especially on the weekends but overall it's a great place to get brunch with friends and family (: when I went the host was really nice and super friendly read more

Wow Breakfast! This is really an amazing breakfast place. It is right by highway and has spacious parking. They have amazing options in the menus both for drinks and meals. I liked my sunrise Granola, variety of fruits pieces on top of the yoghurt incorporated with the granola chunks., this was a wonderful light breakfast and the coffee was nice too. The staffs are so nice and attentive. The inside is and tables are clean. There are beautiful paintings on the walls. It was just a nice experience. read more
