    Not the biggest fan of the lavender French toast but overall the food was pretty good and as always the service was nice if you like French toast and lavender I'd recommend getting this next time total was about $15.99

    Berry French toast

    Overall: 7/10 First Watch used to be one of my favorite go-to breakfast spots--especially because of their healthier variety and great seasonal options. I've always loved how clean, bright, and modern the place feels. The staff is consistently kind and attentive, and even when it's busy (which it often is!), they keep things running smoothly. That said... I was really disappointed on my recent visit. One of my absolute favorite breakfast treats--the French toast--has changed. They used to serve it on a delicious brioche bread that was the perfect balance of fluffy and sweet. Now, they've switched to a new bread that soaks up the egg batter so much it tastes like I'm just eating eggs. It was overly eggy and just not enjoyable at all. To be fair, the staff was wonderful about it and even brought me out a second one, but the manager kindly explained that it's actually a new recipe and this is just how they make it now. It's a bummer because I only ever eat French toast when I'm out for breakfast, and this was the spot for it. They still have solid sandwiches and other good options, so don't let this stop you from checking them out--but if you're craving classic-style French toast, you might want to pick something else off the menu. Would I come back? Maybe. But definitely not for the French toast. Key positives: Clean, nice staff, fresh modern vibes. Main drawback: French toast recipe change = big letdown.

    The food tasted a little funky, like one of the ingredients was freezer burnt. The service was good until they brought the check then they disappeared. It was very loud. They have a good variety on the menu but I think it is overpriced.

    Always a delicious visit. Greeted when you walk in and seated immediately. Waitress gave us a pot of coffee and took our order. Food was delicious as always. Price is right as well. Looking forward to the new location closer to our home soon.

    The food and service here was pretty excellent. I enjoyed the taste of everything I had. My omelette was great and I loved the little donut balls they had. The servers were very friendly and the facility was clean. I'd come here again. You should check it out.

    Once we got our food it was delicious. We have eaten at other First Watch and had way better service. The server had a personal issue and disappeared which wouldn't have been so bad except he didn't turn in our order. So 35 min later we got the food. So food was good and service not

    We were in the area we were ready for a healthy brunch . We really liked their menu , lots of healthy ingredients other places ignore to use in their menu . Like use cage free eggs , fresh house organic greens , house baked artisan breads, house made dressing, love their teas, I had the blackberry tea was great . A must try is the morning meditation drink , It had ginger ,turmeric ,beets juice it was amazing . They do vegan , gluten free all fresh local farmed ingredients. I had the vacado omelette with a side of fruit . My wife had the pesto chicken quinoa bowl it was delicious . Plenty of seating .This place must be popular cause the place was packed ,The food service is great our server was great . The only down side it was a bit noise for me thought. But I would like to come back and try some more items on their menu ..

    First watch is so good! This is my second time visiting but not the same location. The food just melts in your mouth with an incredible amount of flavor. The hostess and waitress were so kind. They were there to give you a nice experience. The setup of the restaurant is really cool too! I liked that they seem to use reclaimed items for some decor. Also they have one of my favorite black teas ever! So good!

    The Traditional Breakfast
    Sharisse B.

    This is a late post. I went for breakfast & there was a wait. We didn't have to wait more than 10 minutes for a table. I ordered The traditional breakfast. The whole grain artisan toast was delicious. I was happy that they had a non pork meat option. The chicken sausage was delicious. They give you a good amount of food.

    Jillian perfectly served delicious breakfast that included thick cut brioche bread topped with banana, strawberry and kiwi. The fruit was some of the best we've had in a while. The works omelette was filled with ham,bacon, sausage, crimini mushrooms and cheese and is a favorite. First Watch continues to deliver great food and service.

    Cocktails across the street from Daytona International Speedway

    Always enjoy First Watch but the added bonus of Daytona International Speedway being across the street made this brunch spot unique!

    Decided to try First Watch in Ormond Beach. Service was good. I had the chicken chopped salad and its enough for 2. Delicious. Avocado, tomato, chicken arugula . Ill be back for sure.

Located on the beach side of Atlantic Avenue in what looks like a motel, Adam's Egg appears to be a popular place for motel guests. We were seated promptly by an overly friendly server and perused the menu. After hearing about their breakfast special, Adam's Breakfast Bowl, my wife decided to order that with crispy house potatoes, crispy bacon and scrambled eggs with gravy on the side ($15). She also ordered a side of toasted wheat toast ($2). I ordered the Adam's Two and Two with scrambled eggs, bacon and house potatoes ($13). We each ordered coffee ($8) and water to go with our meals. My wife liked her dish but thought the potatoes weren't crispy. My breakfast was fine, although I thought the scrambled eggs lacked the fluffiness that I've come to expect for an elevated breakfast experience. Lately, I've been judging breakfast joints by how fluffy their scrambled eggs are...and this didn't quite make the mark. It was an OK breakfast. The highlight of our meal was the friendly and efficient server. Breakfast for 2 with tip came out to just over $48.

There's not a ton of space, which I'm sure makes the rush brunch worse. Facilities were to clean and well maintained, well decorated as well. Our server Ashley was friendly and great. The food was delicious! My fiance and I both got veggie omelettes, he was able to add bacon to his and sub the potatoes for a fruit cup. We got an English muffin and wheat toast. Their wheat toast was massive and hearty, with seeds on the crust. I loved it! Veggie omelettes are always a good test of a chefs skills as they can be super wet from the high water content in veggies. Ours were cooked perfectly, no soppy mess and the veggies tasted crisp and fresh. I don't know if this is a downside, but the menu claimed the omelettes were 4 eggs, but it sure felt like 6 or 7! It was massive! The fruit cup didn't have a bunch of copout fruit in it, it came with really fresh strawberries, bananas and blackberries along with cantaloupe and pineapple. The only truly negative thing I noticed was the jam came in a small plastic cup and when I tasted the jam, it tasted like the plastic, so I couldn't eat it. Overall this is a great breakfast spot that rivals the sitting veterans on the area (first watch, kekes). Give it a go, but be wary of busy rush hours!
