    Market Veggie Sandwich tomato soup
    Karthik S.

    Good veg sandwich and soup! Their beet drink was best. A bit of waiting time in the mornings but worth it!

    When I get that brunch text from friends, I don't even look where we're going because I am automatically in! This was my first time visiting a First Watch, and I left the restaurant so blissfully content that I actually forgot my keys! Don't worry, they kept them safe for me and I got them back next day. The service was fantastic, and our server was so sweet and patient with us. She never once made us feel rushed or guilty for hanging out and chit chatting. We are "ladies who lunch", after all. Just kidding, it was Sunday and we have full time jobs and barely find time to meet up on weekends. Anyways, back to First Watch. As soon as we sat down, I just went straight out with it and said, "I'm craving donuts!!" Lucky enough, one of their seasonal menu items just so happens to be their Holey Donuts which are little cinnamon sugar dusted cake donut holes with chocolate sauce and a warm mixed berry compote for dipping. Needless to say, I was in donut heaven. For my main dish, I ordered the BLTE which is a classic BLT but with two over-hard eggs, cheese, and mayo on artisan whole grain bread. I LOVED it. It was the perfect amount of saltiness that was needed after those donut holes. Originally, I went in thinking I was going to try one of their fresh juices but I was coerced into getting a brunch cocktail. Honestly, as soon as this drink hit my lips all regret went away - it was the Spiked Lavender Lemonade with New Amsterdam 5X distilled vodka, lemon, cane sugar, butterfly pea flower tea and a hint of lavender. My new favorite cocktail. I'm ready to go back again this weekend!

    Ample parking, well lit, clean floors, great menu options, superior service. What more can you ask for? This place hit a home run with the ambiance and energy that matched my thought process. My server Hamza was engaged and direct. I ordered a morning mediation and a morning market veggie omelette with roasted zucchini, onions, crimini mushrooms tomatoes, roasted peppers, whipped up into a cage free egg omelette. Everything was exceptional. I realized that the energy you bring into a dining experience can sometimes constitute how your rating will be. Make your day equal to how you want to feel inside. Good food feeds the spirit Cheers

    Another good brunch at First Watch. We added a new dish today...Breakfast Tacos. Plentiful and yummy like everything else we have tried.

    I usually love first watch and never have any issues however this location reallllyyyy tested me today. I ordered the morning market veggie omelette with seasoned potatoes. Its a simple order, there were no customizations or anything. I received 2 chicken quinoa bowls???? They apologize and remake the meal, all is good. I got my order and found a bacon piece in my veggie omelet. How does any of this make sense? As a vegetarian this was very frustrating. Not happy

    We came to Homestead for an after-graduation brunch, hoping to celebrate a milestone with a good…read moremeal. There were nine of us--not exactly a tiny table, but hardly the kind of group that should throw a restaurant into chaos. To be fair, we did wait for two people in our party before ordering food. It was probably 20-30 minutes, and we made it very clear to our server that we were waiting. We also weren't just camping out at the table. We started with drinks while we waited, so the restaurant was already making money from our table before the kitchen ever had to cook a single thing. Once everyone arrived, we placed one order together. No staggered tickets, no special requests, no unnecessary complications. The thing is... the restaurant was practically empty. If anything, I would've thought they'd be happy to have a table of nine on a slow brunch. Instead, it felt like we were an inconvenience. Once we finally ordered, it was another 30-plus minutes before much of anything happened. Our waitress wasn't rude, but she also wasn't particularly interested in us being there. She checked the boxes, but just barely. It felt less like hospitality and more like someone waiting for the end of their shift. What made the whole experience even stranger was looking around the restaurant. It wasn't busy, yet several employees seemed to be standing around talking while we sat waiting. During the hour or two we were there, I think only a couple of other parties came through the door. At one point there were two hostesses managing what amounted to a trickle of guests while tables that were already seated waited on drinks, food, and attention. Maybe there's more going on behind the scenes than I could see, but from where we were sitting, it felt less like they needed more people and more like they needed to use the people they already had a little better. Then came the mimosas. These were less mimosas and more "suggestions of citrus." It was basically champagne with a couple thoughts of orange juice. At one point we had to ask for more orange juice just to get it to the legally recognized definition of a mimosa. They tasted like champagne that heard flavored sparkling water was popular and decided to reinvent itself. There was a whole lot of "mim" and not much "osa." At nearly $14 each, I expected something a little more festive and a little less... chemistry experiment. For food, I ordered the Fried Green Tomato Benny: two biscuits, fried green tomatoes, poached eggs, Cholula hollandaise, and fresh fruit. On paper, that's a fantastic brunch. In reality, it was aggressively average. Nothing was quite hot enough. The biscuits had crossed that invisible line between baked and overbaked, where every bite makes you wonder if they're fresh or just committed to the bit. The whole dish felt like it had spent just a few too many minutes waiting for someone to remember it existed. And then there was the fruit. You know the kind of fruit bowl where every piece somehow tastes exactly the same because it's been sitting in the same juice for hours? That's what this was. Cheap melon, tired grapes, and enough pooled juice to ensure every bite shared the same identity crisis. To top it all off, the Benny was around $18, and the mimosas were pushing $14 each. I'm not going to call it a scam because words have meanings. Nobody tricked us. The prices were right there on the menu. We knew exactly what we were doing. We just expected the experience to justify it. On the bright side, the restaurant looks like it was designed by someone who has never met food, but has definitely met Pinterest. And honestly, it shows. Modern farmhouse, soft lighting, curated everything--it nails the aesthetic. Which is great, because you'll have plenty to look at while everything else catches up. It's funny how common this is now: it's easier than ever to make something look finished. You can polish the surface until it feels complete, even when the inside still isn't. Anyway--great aesthetics. The rest feels like it's still figuring itself out.

I attended a Woofstock event at the Cumming city center this weekend and stumbled upon this charming bakery, cafe, and tea room. After ordering some freshly baked pastries from the bakery side we decided to have lunch. My sister ordered the chicken and waffles and loved the kick of the hot honey sauce. The chicken was well cooked breast meat and had a delicious crispy coating. The peach iced tea was light and refreshing, but not syrupy or cloyingly sweet. My egg salad sandwich was flavorful and the bread was fresh. My side salad was also really good and not just some iceberg lettuce and a mealy tomato. I swapped out the standard dressing for a little bleu cheese and it was worth the extra calories. I recommend this place if you are in the area.

Redevelopment is necessary on the customer service end. It's a bit chaotic and if the restaurant wasn't fully up and running I'd be more forgiving. However, it's over a month since opening and they're no longer in the soft opening stage so the constant changes are a bit exhausting. They've changed everything from the checkout process, bakery basket (it was complimentary), and hours of operation. My last visit was quite pleasant. I enjoyed my brunch, and everyone seemed to receive the food well. Plus, my server was very welcoming and present. However, my visit today was the opposite experience. The server arrived 15 minutes after I was seated, it took another 15 minutes for my order to be placed, and roughly 20-25 minutes before my food arrived and it was bussed by multiple staff members. They were short staffed but considering the restaurant wasn't extremely busy it was a bit annoying to wait so long. Also, everything was out of stock... the grenadine syrup for the Shirley Temples and cocktails, the hot honey for the chicken... my OJ even came out late because they were waiting for more clean glasses out of the dishwasher. It was simply unorganized and I probably won't return until the reviews suggest things have improved.
