There were several inconsistencies with our takeout order. We called this location's manager; she was accommodating, apologized and stated that she would comp us, "Bucks" to come back and give them another try. We did go back. The waitress we had was inattentive with only two tables; she was very busy in the kitchen filling condiments or something. When we went to the cashier, she could not locate the compensating "Bucks" and had to go through management again. They changed their wheat bread which we loved and bought by the loaf. As a favorite breakfast spot for years, we are no longer fans. They have consistent issues cooking traditional breakfasts as requested/ expected. read more

I've eaten here plenty of times and it's consistent and delicious. I think they really stand out at Takeout! It's always ready on the shelf and almost always accurate. Great service in a light and airy setting! read more

FRESH BREAKFAST, FAST, and GREAT SERVICE. The cranberry First Watch is my local restaurant and the one I frequent most often. The food is always fresh and well cooked, waitstaff is courteous, and food normally comes out fast. I love the seasonal menu offerings especially in the fall, but their Avocado Toast and chocolate chip pancakes are two staples that I never tire of! The only downside is that the wait can be long, especially if you go on the weekend. The plus side of the long wait, however, is that the restaurant is located in a nice shopping plaza that you cc'ing walk around in while waiting for a table. read more

First Watch - Chocolate Chip Pancakes & Avocado Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania

First off let me say the food is always amazing and I'd like to eat a lot more but every time I order to go bc I work in the same plaza at first watch and I go to pick up my order I feel like I'm being talked down to by the ppl working the front counter; so this deters me from ordering here more frequently. I get that's it's a crappy job and not every customer is nice but I am and I always put tips on my online orders bc I used to work in a restaurant also. Knowing that they're short staffed I waited an extra 10 mins past the pick up time to go over and when I let someone know I was there they made me feel so stupid. The host says "We'll if you turn around you can see that your order isn't on the pick up shelve". Thanks - why yes I can see that which is why I'm letting you know I'm here bc I only have 30 mins for lunch and already waited an additional 10 after the quoted pick up time but yeah I'm the stupid one. read more

Nice breakfast place. Service is excellent. I got the breakfast tacos and my wife got the chickichanga. Both were very good, but if I had to choose I would go with the chickichanga. I would definitely come back again. Using the yelp app to do call-ahead seating is definitely helpful as this place can get quite busy. read more

We were lucky enough to experience a First watch in Florida. So happy to see one here near our hotel in cranberry. The kale tonic drink is fabulous! The menus great with plenty of choices and everything is healthy. they let me order a turkey burger. The burger was good the side of cheddar broccoli soup might be the best cheddar broccoli I ever had. Please bring a location up to Western New York! read more

Very busy so be sure to get the app and join the waitlist before you get there. Very solid food with friendly service

My boyfriend and I try to make it at least once a week, we love the food. The coffee is amazing, I don't know it's just something about that coffee LOL. Wait time is very long but the best thing about the place if you don't mind sitting with a few people They have a Community table that usually open and you can get a seat right away. We always thought that was pretty neat, again great place to eat. Wait staff is awesome read more

I had such high hopes for this place after reading the reviews. I find it to be very mediocre. The toast was cold enough that the softened butter wasn't even melted. My daughter asked for her bacon extra crispy, only the piece on top was extra crispy. My omelet only had cheese on one half and the chunks of onions were off putting. read more

I first heard of First Watch down in South Florida and I was delighted that they had moved into western PA territory once I returned. On a roadtrip, we decided to stop here for breakfast and everything was delicious! There was ample parking in the plaza. We were able to sit outside even though they were super packed. The atmosphere was just lovely. The food and coffee were amazing! I had the farmhouse skillet hash; it was super tasty and a great balance of flavors. My partner tried the Summer Blush which I wasn't a fan of but he loved. The price for everything was rather reasonable. Pittsburgh doesn't have a very live brunch scene but this chain coming here definitely helps. read more

Just love brunch at Cranberry First Watch with their great service and delicious food. Always try something different and love their menu so fresh. Very nice manager and staff. read more

First Watch is a chain, but gosh is it wonderful. On Thursday morning, we walked in and were seated immediately. The menu is imaginative and the ingredients high quality. The coffee is good (not a given for breakfast joints) and they leave a carafe on the table. I got the Power Bowl this time, but everything is good. We've started looking for First Watch restaurants while traveling. While I hate to turn down a free hotel breakfast, this is so-o-o much better, and really it's not that expensive. Life is too short to eat a crappy breakfast! read more

I really enjoy this breakfast chain. It just feels healthier than a greasy bob Evans or eat n park. The service here is terrible when you sit outside. It's an inefficient set up with each table having a different waiter. I love their eggs Benedict. I get classic and add spinach. The hollandaise is very good and well balanced. Definitely one of the better options for good, fresh breakfast in the suburbs! read more

The food is not bad, but the service leaves much to be desired. Specifically? There are consistently rude teenagers working here. Yes, I sound like an old curmudgeon. Ha. Maybe I always get the same ill-trained millennial? Regardless, polite service is not too much to ask. read more

This place was amazing! My family was in Pittsburgh for a tennis tournament over a weekend in February. We happened to come across this place on Yelp and due to the positive ratings and menu selection, we decided to give this place a try for breakfast. Boy, were we glad we did. WOW! Everything here is fresh and tasty! For a party of 4, this is what we have ordered. The Works omelette: Ham, bacon, sausage, house-roasted Crimini mushrooms, onions and tomatoes with Cheddar and Monterey Jack topped with sour cream. The omelette was fluffy and all the ingredients worked well together. Nice omelette! Superfood Kale Salad: kale and mixed greens with housemade maple-roasted carrots, warm chicken breast, dried cranberries, slivered almonds and shredded Parmesan cheese tossed in a refreshing maple-lemon vinaigrette. Kale and mixed greens were very fresh and crunchy and the vinaigrette creates a nice balance for the overall salad. I was especially appreciative of the warm chicken breast. The chicken breast strips were lean yet not dry at all. I really enjoyed this salad! Million Dollar Bacon: Four slices of hardwood smoked bacon baked with brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne and a maple syrup drizzle. This is no joke! Hands down, these are some of the best bacon I have ever had. I am pretty sure i consumed my daily allowance of volatiles with one of these four slices of bacon, but man, was it worth it!!! Triple Berry Açaí Bowl: Açai topped with fresh strawberries, blackberries, blueberries and granola served with whole grain toast topped with almond butter and sea salt. Açaí taste like good açaí you can find in health stores. Fresh berries are really fresh and the homemade granola really hit the spot by giving it texture. The toasts with almond butter and a pinch of sea salt really held their own. At first, we thought they were just there to fill the stomach, but they turned out to be the stars for me. I really thought that pinch of salt on almond butter made a world of difference. Floridian French Toast: Thick-cut brioche with wheat germ and powdered cinnamon sugar, covered with fresh banana, kiwi and seasonal berries. The fruits were very fresh just as you would expect of any fruits and vegetables at this restaurant. The brioche French toast were cooked to perfection. With the cinnamon sugar, I really didn't think it was necessary to dip in syrup. A fantastic dish! Overall, this place is such a pleasant find. We ended up returning for breakfast every single morning and even made sure to stop by before we start the long drive home. If we have the opportunity to travel to a state with First Watch as this is a chain restaurant, we will be sure to dine there again! read more

First watch, Second Watch, Third Watch, I could go here a hundred times. The food always tastes so fresh and the flavors always balance perfectly. I had the Barbacoa Benedict and it was perfect. Plenty of Barbacoa and a delicious red sauce that although looks like salsa was closer to a tobasco and blended perfectly with hollandaise. I could recommend this place a thousand times over. read more

Very crowded and busy. Food was good and filling. Not a long wait. Our server was training someone else and still waiting on what looked like half the restaurant. Service was good and very professional and pleasant. Pricing was a little high for the food. I recommend this place and I am willing to go back and try it again. read more

TLDR; Underwhelming food + off-putting staff Why is the host staff so rude? It's odd. People mention it all of the time, and it can't be the same host for each person. (It's been going on since before COVID). One young woman never even looked at us or said hello or anything. We just left that day. Another older adult woman was really rude until we left a 24% tip, and then she smiled and looked at us for the first time. The food isn't good enough for the wait, chaos and price. The menu always looks better than it is, and the food takes so long to come out. Even when we ordered a fruit bowl for the kids to keep them patient (two toddlers who just waited 35 minutes to sit... we wouldn't have waited, but they said it would be 15 which sounded doable) it took a good 10 -15. We had to ask twice. Oh, and they hate toddlers despite ours being pretty well behaved. I was a server for 10+ years. I know what's it's like to serve toddlers. You have to smile at them. You just have to. Suck it up and complain in the BOH like we all did. I clean up after mine, so I don't know what the complaint would even be. When they order their pancakes you can't just roll your eyes and look at me. Let them be people. They are people. I like their pancakes and juice! I've had 2 really great servers and one who basically didn't give a crap. I've never had anything there that makes me want to go back. read more

We arrived on a Saturday at 1:00pm and as we used the no wait app we were promptly seated and promptly served however it took about a half an hour before our food arrived which I thought was odd because they weren't at peak business at that time. I ordered the Traditional Breakfast as well as a few other items that we all shared. Although the portion was small the scrambled eggs with portobello mushrooms were the bomb as were the ham and turkey sausage links. Millionaire bacon was good but in my opinion not worth the price. I found the breakfast potatoes to be a bit on the salty side, the whole grain toast to be kind of bland as was the grapefruit juice. The whole experience was good but for me but not worth the hype. read more

My wife and I finally got around to stopping here for breakfast, as it's been on our bucket list for a while now. I should've guessed that coming here on a Sunday morning would be a madhouse, and it was. 45 minute wait, which all things considered wasn't horrible. For breakfast I went with the lemon curd ricotta (whole wheat) pancakes with a side of chicken sausage patties. The pancakes were fluffy, and the lemon curd was spot on, but I probably wouldn't order it again. The chicken sausage on the other hand wasn't really even edible in my opinion. Zero flavor, horrible texture, and undercooked. My wife went with a farmhouse skillet which was quite good from the few bites I had and I hope to stop back again soon to give this a try myself. read more

Great breakfast staff was great love the cute little spot . Enjoyed the purple haze!!

Can't believe this was my first visit! I started with the kale tonic, and it's my favorite juice ever now. It was the perfect blend of kale, apple and cucumber, and it was so refreshing. I chose the healthy turkey omelette on the lighter portion of the menu, and it was super delicious despite being only 550 calories. The feta cheese on top of the egg white omelette sealed the deal. And the side of wheat toast was surprisingly tasty. The bread was very fluffy and soft, and paired with the fresh preserves, it was a great side dish. I'm excited to come back and try more menu items. There were so many-I had a hard time deciding which one I wanted. read more

UPDATE I spoke to a regional manager who took my concerns very seriously & told me he would be taking steps to stop this from happening again. I would say I'd feel comfortable returning knowing management genuinely cares this much about their customers. ~~~~~~~~~ 4/10/23 "My family and I were having brunch for my moms bday. then our server Mindy was really rude and annoyed with my mom (who was having a really hard time pronunciating what she wanted to order bc of her accent.) She gave us a bad attitude and she asked us to check out while we were still eating so she could leave work early & we could even hear her talking badly about us in the kitchen to other servers. the girl at the register offered to get a manager after i briefly told her while we were paying but My mother was so embarrassed she just wanted to go home. read more

Suck at To-Go orders. Like they don't care about DD or any other customers food To-Go.

First watch is an absolutely adorable, fun and toddler friendly place for perfect sat am brunch. The menu has variety to choose from and juices options are phenomenal! Not to mention the kids menu has the perfect options for our picky eaters! I find myself going there at-least 2-3 x a month and we always get the lemon ricotta pancakes! In addition to amazing egg options they also have healthy option with quinoa as well as vegetarian options! Their menu truly has something for everyone and all age group!:) read more

Took forever and they don't seat in order. We used the app but it didn't matter or make a difference.

Very good service. Loved everything that I have had there. Nice atmosphere . They way they decorated is very well done place where you can sit enjoy your food relax have good service and very friendly waitresses. They also have an area outside when it's nice out at the tables with an umbrella walking in the sun. It's also relaxing dressing. Is there homemade dressing, which is very, very good. I wish I knew where I can buy that so I can. I've tried several omelettes. My wife likes her salad, especially the concert and she likes the banana pancakes. read more

I don't typically eat breakfast, even at home, so a restaurant review based on breakfast is a first, and probably last, for me. First Watch is clean, bright, new, and attractive. The menu seemed pretty extensive for a breakfast place, although I am admittedly not an expert on such matters. In fact I almost, out of habit, asked for a wine list. Being half empty, service was prompt and the kitchen delivered quickly. The food, bacon, eggs, toast, and coffee, was good, but that's not much of a compliment, since there's almost no way to differentiate those items. So, I guess it's a two point scale, good or bad. The tab seemed very low, but that might be normal for a meal without alcohol. I have no experience in such matters. If I'm ever faced with breakfast again First Watch is definitely on my list. read more

Just fantastic farm to table style breakfast. A lot of creative options, including gluten/vegetarian. Was thoroughly impressed. Will return.

The food is always good. The service is fast and friendly. I am never disappointed when I go to first watch in any state.

Delicious breakfast and lunch food. Pancakes are massive. Extensive menu that changes seasonally. Great service. Clean, spacious and friendly. read more

Fantastic place to eat!! We were quoted 35-40 minutes for a table on a busy Sunday morning but, had one within 15 minutes. Coffee is not your typical restaurant coffee. It's very good. Highly recommend!!! Waitstaff very friendly and smiling. read more

The breakfast menu stays fresh every season with great regional options and farm decor. FirstWatch Cranberry hires terrific staff that's on point with their service. When the schedule permits, I have my father-daughter date here every Saturday morning. The only drawback is that everyone knows this place is awesome so the wait-times are ridiculous is you don't get there early. They should just build another one right next to it like Starbucks does. read more

The last time we went to First Watch it was pretty busy, they told us there would be a 30 minute or so wait. They told us we could sit at the community table (I forgot what she called it), if we didn't want to wait. We sat at this long table with other guest. We were waited on almost right away! I liked it, the people seated around us were very nice. The food was great. I normally don't like that type of atmosphere, but this was cool! read more
