This is a great breakfast restaurant, but be prepared to wait especially on the weekends. Very popular. The avocado toast with honey and the fried egg was great. If your in college station this is a must go to place. My wife and daughter cleaned there plates the food was so good. read more

Great LCHF options. Coffee very fresh and service was on point. Really enjoyed the menu variety.

I've been to First Watch the last three days in a row as the food and service is excellent. It's a great place when it's not busy but don't bother on Friday or the weekend unless you want an eternal wait and terrible service. They really blew it this time, I was happy with everything and five stars until today and it just sucked. You guys need to figure out these crazy wait times and be way better organized. read more

Great, friendly service. Food was impressive and delicious! Kale tonic was surprisingly good and smoked salmon eggs benedict had a great hollandaise! Will definitely be returning. read more

This place rocks! Travis is the manager and goes out of his way to make your experience sublime. I always get the maple bacon and eggs Benedict and love going to this place. read more

Love the atmosphere and the food here is absolutely amazing. If you're going at lunch, budget your time wisely. It took us a little longer than normal to get our meal, but it was worth the wait. Try the iced coffee ! very happy this place is in town. read more

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

I wasn't sure how to rate this restaurant. If it was solely on the food it would be 5 stars, but the wait time wouldn't have been 1 star. We used the First Watch App and waited over an hour with that and then got to the restaurant when the app suggested our table would be ready and then waited another 25 minutes to actually be seated. On top of that, the table next to us ordered their food after us but got there food first. Now, the food itself was amazing. I've gone a couple times before and the food has been consistently good every time. I would highly suggest the potatoes as a side dish and the selection of juices and healthy options is great. read more

We love this place so much that even my kids (Junior high and high school) will beg to eat here. I absolutely LOVE that I can check in online to save time, thank you for providing this option. The food is wonderful and refreshing. read more

Update after third trip here: I'm trying to be understanding that this is a new place, but over three times the service has gotten progressively worse. We made sure to go early to beat the church crowd. The no wait app said there was no wait...And we didn't wait to be seated but then the wait began. The waitress did bring us coffee when we sat down but wanted to take our order right away. We said we needed a minute, big mistake. She never came back. We did watch her take the order of a table of six that came in after us, ensuring we'd get our food in behind theirs. 20 minutes later I flagged down a server to go find her, he came back 5 minutes later and said she was too busy to take out order, so he took it. The place was still mostly empty at that point. We also asked him for water that never came. Eventually we had a sighting of our own waitress and asked her for water. The food however is great. I got the healthy turkey omelet. I did expect the onions and spinach to be cooked more and they went very heavy on the feta, but it was filling. My boyfriend got the chikichanga which was delicious. My other huge complaint is this is my third meal that has come with bread instead of toast. Next time I might bring my own toaster. This is a breakfast place, toast is a staple right? By the time we left the place was packed. We were there over an hour for only two of us. People wouldn't have to wait so long if they'd feed us and get us out of there. We had to track down the bill too... All that being said, we're giving the benefit of the doubt that it's a new place, and we want this place to succeed because this town needs a place like this so badly so hopefully they can get their act together read more

Great place to eat. Uber clean. Friendly wait staff. Healthy menu items. Breakfast all day. Great tasting food. I've eaten here every day since they opened. read more

What a terrible experience. Wait time was ridiculous, food was mediocre, wait staff was clueless, be prepared to wait another 30 minutes for your food. Retrain the whole team and pick better group to represent your location. Also- wash your glasses w soap instead of just water. Smell of egg on the glass is unbearable. read more

This is one of my favorite breakfast spots! Very clean and very nice staff AND of coarse Uuuu-amazing food!

The food here was A++. The waitress was nice, attentive and helpful. The only problem is that we had come 1 hour earlier, and there was a business meeting and we were completely ignored by all staff and were not seated. When we came back, though, we were promptly seated and served. The food is wonderful and you can't find comparable food in B.C.S. I would come again. read more

Not impressed. Had brunch on a recent Sunday. The menu is a bit limited. If trying to eat Keto, this may not be a good choice. Recommend Egg & I or the Black Bear Diner. read more

Your business model is nonsense. My wife put our name on the list in College Station this morning at 9:45 and was told it would be about an hour. At 10:30 I checked and we still had 10 people in front of us. Fifteen minutes later there were 15 people ahead of us. The host said that they put people who put themselves on the waitlist using your app ahead of people who do that in person. I can understand allowing people to put themselves on the list online but not jumping people who walk in. We left after an hour when the number of people in front of us kept growing. The staff there kept telling me to use the app and we would get in. I don't need to waste space on my phone to eat breakfast. I have eaten at one of your restaurants in Dallas and didn't enjoy the food although the service was fine. My college son wanted to try it so I agreed to take him. Not only will I never patronize any of your restaurants again, neither will he or his friends( the entire Corps of Cadets of Texas A&M University). I wouldn't mind using an app, but this is ridiculous read more

Ate here for the first time today. I drove around an hour to try First Watch, and then waited about 30 minutes to be seated, and that was with using the app once I was within 10 miles of the restaurant. The app does help with time but be prepared for the wait. However, once seated the food was fantastic- the coffee, yogurt, granola / energy bowl I had from the healthier options portion of the menu was phenomenal. I also got a side of whole grain bread with house made preserves and was quite impressed. With a friendly staff, great environment, and even better atmosphere & food, I definitely recommend first watch. Also, my hostess, Kirsten, was delightful and made the experience great from the start. read more

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

This place is amazing!!! I definitely recommend downloading the no wait app and making a reservation first otherwise you will wait 45-hr for a table. The app helps you get here when your table should be available. Often times you still have to wait 20-30 minutes when you get here for a table, but it's worth it! read more

The food is good, the coffee is hot, but the staff can get quickly overwhelmed. Get here early and know what you want!

Amazing food. The bacon was delicious. I had a tex-mex hipster-styled burrito with chorizo, whipped eggs, and chicken . It was super delicious. The wait staff was attentive and friendly. Minus 1 star for the priciness. Everything else was perfection, but $5 for 4 slices of bacon is a bit steep. read more

I came here for the first time and really enjoyed my meal. I got the works omelette and it had a fair amount of meat and the serving was big. My friend got the trifecta with blueberry pancakes. The pancake was mediocre, a little over cooked. However, when I first arrived the waiter made it seem as if the coffee was complimentary. Our server didn't put the coffee on the bill then just ran it on my card without my knowledge. That kind of ruined my mood, on the service. read more

First Watch was what College Station needed! I'm from Houston and I miss having a good new American brunch place. Being able to wake up on a saturday and log onto the app and get in line is such a hugely convenient feature and I've come on weekday mornings and gotten sat immediately. The atmosphere is great and super cheerful I really like the decor. I've gotten the market skillet, egg sandwich the veggie burger, the pancakes (blueberry, chocolate, and some banana wheat grain), and a few of the juices! All the food tastes fresh and great but the egg sandwich and the pancakes were to die for. However, the way they prepare their potatoes are just a little too soft for me I like them a little crispier and more seasoned. BCS needs more places like this read more

Beautiful place. I tried the avocado toast and the chocolate chip pancakes. Both were delicious. Terribly long wait times, so make sure you plan in advance and use the "No wait" app if you want to avoid waiting there. It's not very expensive either. Our bill was $26 for two people (including tip) read more

Avocado toast is dank. Healthier options than any breakfast place in town. There's always a line out the door here. If you've been to Austin, this is a very Austin-sequel restaurant. read more

They are still working out the kinks of a new restaurant that is getting slammed with people coming to try it, but WOW The food was good. Fresh, tasty, nice combinations of "things on a plate". We went for breakfast but are committed to going back for a non-breakfast meal sometime soon. Be prepared to wait for a table. read more

Our table Had coffee the salmon frittata bacon and the cornbread carnitas. Coffee was sort of old. Food was good! Wait staff really nice

I'll keep this brief. The food is good; nice, fresh options. But don't bother coming here for breakfast/brunch on the weekend unless you use the NoWait App. We showed up around 9am a couple weeks ago, were told 45min-1h wait and after 48 min were told there were TWENTY TABLES in front of us. Twenty. Apparently you can check in with the app ahead of time and that puts you ahead of people who show up and wait in person. So after it was abundantly clear that we were never going to be seated, we left, along with about 20 other people who realized the same thing. The whole app thing is a joke. But if you're looking to go off hours or on a weekday, it's a nice change of pace from tacos and chicken fingers. read more

Much of the stuff I would be able to make at home for far cheaper. Basically overpriced American food. Took a long time, but the waiter was really friendly and great. read more

Went for breakfast on a Saturday morning. The food was fantastic. Loved the coconut milk chia seed pudding. Delicious and filling. The only reason they didn't get a full five stars is because the fresh squeezed juices weren't ready when we stopped in. I was really looking forward to a Morning Meditation. read more

I came here for brunch for a coworker's birthday! It was so good! The atmosphere was calm and relaxed and the restaurant itself was really cute. A friend and I each ordered one of their specialty drinks. After a few minutes the waitress let us know that it would take a while to come out because they had to make a fresh batch, which was fine. A few minutes later she let us know there was a mixup and our drinks wouldn't be ready for a very long time. She offered us the option to wait or choose another juice instead, compliments of the manager. We each chose the Kale Tonic, which was a great choice. The staff were all very nice and accommodating and the food was delicious. The scrambled eggs were perfect and my waffle was amazing! read more

Came in from Austin love this place. Food just what you want for farm to table. Service awesome

First Watch is one of few brunch places in College Station and it does not disappoint. Not only is the ambience of the restaurant incredible, but their menu, food, and staff are all wonderful. With a variety of healthy options at a reasonable cost, First Watch will definitely have something on their menu that you'll enjoy eating and won't feel guilty about eating afterward. Try one of their juices - they are energizing, fresh, and delicious!!! Their service is great and they almost always have the community table open even if there is a wait for an actual table. You can also check in using their app if you're planning ahead of time and don't want to wait! read more

My mom and sister were with me here on a Sunday. I got a kale juice and it was really refreshing. The plates here are delicious and big! I wish this place was open all day! read more

20 minute wait so I was expecting to be impressed by the food. Potatoes had great flavor but were served cold. My entire plate was cold except for the hollandaise sauce on my eggs Benedict. Salvador was our server and he did a poor job. We waited for him to finish talking to his friends that were sitting next to us before we could ever get anything. We also sat on the table waiting to be cashed out just for him to finally tell us we pay upfront. Check was $15 for coffee and eggs Benedict. read more

Was super amazing and a very cute environment, I would advise using the "no wait" app because the wait can get crazy! I would give 5 stars but the hostess stand was a little disorganized but the food and atmosphere was amazing! read more

A good place to get breakfast occasionally, though it tends to get pretty crowded on most days. The price is a bit high, but the food is definitely worth it. They have a good selection of mixed juices, which I find to be pretty good. The waffles are very delicious, very airy and the syrup is good too. read more

Food was tasty. However portions are small for the price. Got what was called a skillet meal but was more of a tiny bowl then a skillet. Wait was twice as long as told when we signed in. 5 or more empty tables they just weren't seating. But they had like 3 people just taking names. read more

So happy we found this treasure on YELP! Party of 9 definitely had to wait at 9:30am but was actually a little shorter than they quoted! Menu was full of simple pleasures where everyone found something to order and devoured! The staff were all very accommodating! We will be returning on the next trip to CS! Side note- the Avocado Toast that is pictured on profile and on menu is even better than it looks! Order it, you will be so happy you did! read more

Always great servers, great good great atmosphere. Never feel rushed by the servers they let you take your time and chill and talk. Even if they are busy read more

I FINALLY got around to getting here for breakfast and I was pleased. I had the skilled hash with avocado. The portion was generous and I love the bread they use for the toast. We used the yelp app to check in and it helped cut down on the wait time. It seemed to take a little while to pay for everything and it felt a little congested as I stood in line since we had the hostess trying to get around us to seat people. Overall it was great and we will visit again. read more

Amazing mornings! Very good food and always an awesome atmosphere. I would recommend any juice they offer. Fresh in house and always something new! read more
