    Monterey Club
    Crissy H.

    Monday - Friday, I am not a breakfast person. However, on some weekends, if I'm running errands in the morning, breakfast/brunch is on the list. It was First Watch or Oldwest, as you can see, I chose First Watch. I was going to get one of my usuals, but what's the point in wanting to explore a menu when you're always getting what is your "usual"? Monterey Club: Turkey, bacon, avocado, organic mixed greens, tomato, Monterey Jack, and mayo on sourdough. This was DELICIOUS, so delicious, I danced after the first bite. My goodness, everything was so fresh, and the avocado was perfect. There was enough to cover all of the sandwich. It was fresh, creamy, and a beautiful green. They didn't hide an imperfect avocado in the sandwich (some places do that); it was of great quality, through and through. Everything married perfectly together, and the bacon was crispy. You were able to get bacon, with every bite taken. Fruit Cup: The fruit, as always, was fresh and hit the spot. Even with being a to-go order, the customer service is always present. A sweet young man made sure to be close to the door, so he could open it as I exited. The restaurant is always clean and well-kept.

    I came here on a Sunday morning to have brunch and despite it being very busy we were able to get seated pretty quickly. I do wish there was a better way for them to deal with queuing as the front of the restaurant was very, very packed as people waited to get seated. Their spring menu was very interesting and I loved the specialty flavors, which is what we ended up ordering. We decided on the berry French toast with a lavender whipped topping, which was incredible. Usually, I'm not one for a sweet brunch. I tend to lean towards savory however this was a great way to start my morning as the French toast wasn't overly sweet and it was cooked perfectly so it wasn't super soggy like most French toast I have had. My friend chose the breakfast bowl, which was super filling and she had a ton of leftovers to take home! Our waitress was also really nice and took the time to answer my questions about the menu.

    This, was my very first time I have had the privilege of coming here for breakfast with my daughter. We were greeted immediately and our server was Ms. Angel who was very prompt, polite and very friendly and gave service with a smile. We had the Pumpkin Spice Donuts $7.30 Warm cake donut holes tossed with pumpkin spiced sugar and lightly dusted with powdered cinnamon, Tri-Fecta $16.81 Two cage-free eggs any style with either a light and airy Belgian waffle or a multigrain pancake. Plus your choice of bacon, smoked ham, chicken apple sausage patties, turkey or pork sausage links. and Farmhouse Hash $17.16 Two cage-free eggs any style atop fresh, seasoned potatoes with bacon, avocado, house-roasted onions and tomatoes with Cheddar and Monterey Jack. Served with our whole grain artisan toast with all-natural house preserves. *Please note: Our potatoes are cooked with onions. We are unable to accommodate onion removal requests for dishes containing potatoes. For my pancakes, Ms. Angel recommended the banana crunch pancake, it was yum! At the register we met Nico who is the front of the house manager. He too was very friendly and polite and runs a great crew on his shift. I don't this very much, but I can honestly say like the Terminator "I'll be back!" Hope to see you there.

    Certainly one of our favorite breakfast restaurants. The table service is always prompt and attentive. The food is delivered they way we ordered it. If I want extra-crispy bacon, that's what I get. The food is fresh and the seasonal dishes are excellent. On this visit, we tried their Blueberry Lemon Cornbread. That was a treat! The ambiance is smartly decorated. It can be noisy during peak times. There is outside tables if the weather is nice. This restaurant is a neighborhood favorite, so it gets busy. Be prepared to wait for a table; but, it's worth the wait.

    I hadn't been to First Watch in a long time, so when my sister suggested it for our "last day of summer (before school starts for my nieces)" brunch, I was excited to see what I'd been missing. I really should come here more often.. they have a big breakfast/brunch/lunch menu, plus cocktails and mimosas, plus lots of veggie and gluten free options. We ordered way too much food, but here's what we had... Youngest niece, age 6: scrambled eggs, sausage, and a fruit cup. She loved the eggs, said the sausage tasted just like her favorite she eats at home, and enjoyed the strawberries, blueberries, and grapes. She shared her pineapple. Middle niece, age 8: kid's gluten free French toast and scrambled eggs. She said the eggs tasted like her moms but not dry, hahaha. She eats gluten free now and was happy to report that the gf bread is delicious and she especially likes the crust. The kid's French toast is 2 pieces and it's plenty of food. Eldest niece, age 11: Belgian waffle with berries and pure maple syrup, of course. It's big and fluffy and served with lots of butter and berries. 10 out of 10. My sister: a side of hash brown potatoes and the "Bacado," which is a zhuzhed up omelette with bacon, avocado, and cheese, served with a ton of fresh arugula. Yummm. Me: gluten free French toast and a side of bacon. Not much to say... the toast is sweet and buttery, the bacon is salty and crisp. Delicious! Our waitress was so kind and we were seated within 10 minutes despite the restaurant being completely packed. What a busy little spot. The service is on point and the food is good! The vibe is casual, light, and bright. I won't wait so long to come back next time.

    Me and my mom have always enjoyed first watch as one of go to brunch places. It can get packed on weekends but then again what brunch place isn't? Food is yummy and flavorful. Service is good and accommodating. Me and my mom love the farmhouse ambiance. We love their seasonal menus as well because some sound very yummy to us and we end up trying it. Even my dad has gotten a seasonal option one time. The most recent time me and my mom went with my grandma for brunch, first watch had their fall menu, and what really hooked me on trying one of their fall options was the really cool art from the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings that our waitress ironically did. Me and my mom love the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings so I thought it was awesome, creative, and clever. My mom tried their honey chipotle chicken hash which she enjoyed and I tried their pumpkin pancake breakfast. Very yummy and first watch always fills you up.

    THIS!!! Please keep the Parmesan Prosciutto Toast on the permanent menu!!! It's was so good!!

    Loved the current seasonal menu options! I ordered the Parmesan Prosciutto Toast and it was so flavorful!

    Kale Tonic - a green drink which taste strong of cucumber is actually very good. I don't typically like green drinks but it was refreshing to me. Tangerine Dream - delicious. Not too sweet. Can taste the ginger and I love that. Belgian waffle: Delicious. Minimal syrup necessary Million Dollar Bacon: 10/10

    The people were nice and the food was great. It was my first time dining in, such a wonderful experience.

    Table broken and I ask sever, she said "yes, this table  then she leaved, bad service

    I and my husband love going to first watch and always order salad and waffles. Last week, the waffle was cold. Today, it's not hot. The sever said because we asked for crispy, the butter won't melt... The quality changed. It's usually a good restaurant. They made a new one, but the feeling is bad.

When I asked why, I was told for remodeling and because they are short staffed. Neither made sense. I believe I saw 3 or 4 employees and while there could have been remodeling behind the scenes, we watched them close up and saw the employees all leave. We had to go find another coffee shop, but it made me wonder, if I was the owner of this coffee shop I would want to verify they were not closing early just to go play. ***revized review*** Business reached out to explain they are making improvements and scheduling those is tricky. It would be great to update on Yelp, which is how we decided on this coffee shop (based on closing time). Coffee and offerings we had were very good. Atmosphere prior to the unexpected close was a good vibe.

Challenge-very busy-can be hard to find a seat because people " save" seats/tables. Menu Coffees, teas-wide selection, pastries, quiches, cookies, ice cream, sausage rolls, ham and cheese pastry, scones. Coffee beans available in bags or to order. Tea pot served on a tray with a cozy over the pot. We had the bacon cheese quiche-so tummy-light and savory. The lattes were perfect-I had a sugar free vanilla and it tasted like a marshmallowy rich flavor. So good. Water urn and cups for self serve. Sodas and Perrier chilled available. Summary Very busy coffee shop-great atmosphere, outstanding service, variety of coffees, teas, pastries, savory items. My friend loved it so Much she is bringing her husband for a date. Seating can be tough. Best latte ever!

This place is great, they're definitely a hit different that your other coffee places so the Black Sheep name isn't just that, which I appreciate! They do things a bit differently, like actually using crumbled pistachios on their lattes or even using a chocolate whipped cream.... That's legit! My sister got a triple chocolate frappe and it was solid! I got the Spanish latte (half sweet) I heard it was sweet, but I would probably do the normal way with and extra shot and be happy! Anyway, they way were nice, happy to answer questions after we told them we had never been there before. We didn't try any pastries or the waffles that looked absolutely fantastic! So in a return visit, which I will be making I'll have to try them! Absolutely worth stopping by or even going out of your way to check out!! I promise you it's not like the others!

I get it, this is not a place that makes things from scratch, but it wasn't anything great, wasn't anything to lose your mind over. He was very happy with his coffee though, enjoyed it for the majority of the day. He had dairy so I couldn't try it, but happy husband happy life. I had the acai bowl. It was fine. When I ordered raspberries I didn't know they were going to be frozen. I thought they were fresh. They weren't. The coconut yogurt on top seemed frozen as well, it had that weird frozen texture. They did slice some bananas in there. The only other thing was the plastic spoon they gave me. An acai bowl is dense and the spoon was bending trying to get through it. Not ideal. Coffee was actually great. We both genuinely enjoyed ours. I asked for a ceramic cup and got a paper cup instead, which I wasn't happy about because cardboard does tint the flavor. I asked for ceramic for a reason. Even with that, the coffee was still decently good, which says something. Cute place to sit. Comfortable seats, quiet atmosphere, plenty of parking around. No issues, nothing glaring. You can order from the menu without interacting with anyone, which we did, but a lady still came over to check if we needed anything, so they were accommodating too. My one aesthetic complaint is the plastic plants. As an establishment they can do better. Real plants exist. Overall I would come back. Probably not my first choice but we would return. P.S. My ratings are based on whether I believe I could make a better or healthier version at home. If food/drinks/service impress me, I'll be happy to come back. If not, the stars reflect that.

It was decent enough to eat, but a tiny, tiny portion for the price. Somewhere around ten to eleven dollars per toast. One slice of bread, a little avocado, a couple of tomatoes, and balsamic vinegar. Was it tasty? Yes. Was it worth ten dollars? I don't think so. I bought a full sourdough loaf for ten dollars. I understand service costs and all that, but still. Coffee was actually very good, though. My cappuccino had fruity notes, very smooth. They have different roasts, which is nice. The cups and plates are really cute, and the space itself is charming. The lady working seemed very overwhelmed.
