    Food duh AM Superfoods Bowl Floridian French Toast®

    The service was very fast and thorough and polite. Food was served in a timely manner and very hot. Ambiance was very rustic and calming.

    Farmhouse Hash

    My wife and I love brunch places. And First Watch is a staple. We hadn't visited this location but it didn't disappoint! It is smaller than some of them, but still a great ambiance. I love the farmhouse Hash. And my wife loves the Traditional breakfast. This visit we had excellent service and great food. Will come again!

    Food was fresh and filling, wonderful options and the million dollar bacon was a favorite. Quick service, coffee refills and a good Sunday breakfast vibe

    This is the beautiful painting that AUBRI painted and some of her amazing coworkers(sorry about the glare)

    Michael, Stella, Aubri, and Nicole. Aubri was always checking up on us and she told us that she painted a lot of the items in the menu. she is so creative and kind always alert and making sure her customers are happy and fed. Michael was kind and generous checking up on us - AUBRI and him are so alike in this way. Stella gave us a visit out of her way even though she didn't have to. Nicole on Easter gave us free kitkats because she is such a kind person. They are all so kind, sweet, and work like a family.

    Honestly I can't stop coming back for the biscuits and the friendly environment! Our waitress was incredibly kind and although it was a busy day, she made sure all of our needs were met. Recommend this place 10x over!

    The food here is yummy. The service was kind of slow and they got my order wrong but fixed it right away. I think it was because a shortage of staff. Plenty of seating inside and wasn't too busy coming in on a weekday morning. Got to sample some of the juices before ordering.

    Shrimp and grits with a side of bacon and traditional breakfast with a side pancake.

    Food was great! So glad they brought back the shrimp and grits. Service was good as well. It was a little bit warm in there though but the mimosas contributed I'm sure. lol

    Not on menu - our service was 5 stars
    Cynthia L.

    First time to First Watch and totally recommend! Service was really nice! Table was spacey for a party of 6. Kid friendly- always a plus for families Coffee was hot and a variety of creamers even oat milk just ask for it. My toast was a little too thick for my liking but it was all good. I just don't like eating too much bread for breakfast so I ordered eggs and bacon w my French toast. I did have to order two separate plates vs a la carte bc it was cheaper that way. Location is okay not the best bc parking there is kind of tight spaces if you ask me But I definitely recommend for you to try this place.

    I went to First Watch for brunch Saturday and received the worst service of my life. Avoid this restaurant at all costs.

    This coffee shop has quietly become my Dallas work-week crush…read more It's conveniently close to the office I'm using while I'm here, but the real draw is the vibe. Beautiful sunshine pours through big windows, there's a lovely park right outside, and the light is so good it feels like the café equivalent of a good hair day. Dallas weather helps, obviously--but this place knows how to use it. The space is lively without being chaotic. Plenty of outdoor seating, lots of indoor seating, and a very reasonable three-hour Wi-Fi window that keeps people working instead of camping. It feels intentional. People come here to stay, not hover in line. Speaking of which--there's never a line. They're clearly well staffed, everyone's efficient, and everyone is genuinely nice. Now, pastries. This is where they shine. A lot of unique options you don't see everywhere, and everything I tried was excellent. The almond croissant? Fantastic. The blueberry cake? A must-get. I went two days in a row (because obviously), and on day one they told me it was their most popular item. Day two, by 11 a.m., it was completely gone and kept selling out as soon as they tried to restock. That alone tells you what you need to know. The matcha is good--made from scratch, which I appreciate. Is it the best matcha I've ever had? No. It's better than Local Johnny's, but not quite on the level of Marin Coffee Roasters or Ralph & Rose. Still very drinkable and enjoyable, especially if you're settling in to work. What really sets this place apart is its personality. It doesn't feel like a cookie-cutter café or "insert minimalist coffee brand here." There's charm. Character. A little whiteboard with a joke about New Year's resolutions that made me smile. Small details, but they matter. Would I come back? Absolutely. I already did--twice. I'd recommend it especially for locals looking for a solid work spot, co-working with a friend, or anyone who wants to be productive without being bothered. If you're visiting Dallas briefly, this might not be a destination café--but if you're here for a bit and want a reliable, pleasant, sunny place to work and snack, this one's a yes.

    Amazing coffee spot in a cool Walnut Hill complex…read more I like the vibe here and their coffee is always on point. I've only been during the day and always spend a little time working before a coffee meeting. The WiFi is always good and the coffee is great. The ambiance is very open and inviting as well. They serve small bites as well but I haven't really partaken. Additionally, I think they have several beers on tap and they appear to all be cool local brews. If you're looking for a good local coffee shop with a vibe, this may be your new spot!!

Always a highlight! P.S. There's always folks working here, so it must be a popular spot to answer a few emails.

Super cute space, great music, and a cool, relaxed ambiance that immediately makes you want to stay awhile. There were about a dozen seats total and it was roughly 80% full, which felt lively without being chaotic. The two girls behind the counter were absolute sunshine--warm, bubbly, and genuinely welcoming. That alone made the experience feel good from the start. Service was also lightning fast; my drink was ready in under two minutes. Now, the letdown: the matcha. They don't make actual matcha here. Instead, it's a pre-made mix that gets heated and combined with whole milk. For matcha lovers, this is... disappointing. The flavor was extremely bland--drinkable, sure, but uninspiring. I'd have it again only if there were no other options nearby. And that's the thing--this location is very close to the Civic Coffee area, which makes it hard not to recommend going there instead if matcha is your priority. All that said: great ambiance, pleasant experience, friendly staff, and moderate pricing. Nothing bad happened here at all. Just don't come expecting a proper matcha moment--this one's more vibes than flavor.

    Cafe Duro is a must when visiting the Lower Greenville area!…read more I recently visited this amazing European-style café during breakfast on a weekday and it was amazing. Please note that parking in this area is particularly difficult but if you come in the morning, it should be easier to find. Another thing worth nothing is that they are more of a quick standing coffee bar type of place and I definitely wouldn't recommend it for families or kids, so keep that in mind when visiting. Now to the food... They have a small but mighty menu for breakfast and lunch. For my first time I decided to try their The Monte Duro, which is a pastry style "hot pocket" with smoked prosciutto, mortadella, mustard and jam. For drink I decided to go with their Dirty Chai Latte. The drink was absolutely perfection and exactly what I needed in a warm Texas morning.
