    Veggie Omelette with goat cheese, grits & whole grain toast
    Candace M.

    First time at this First Watch, got a cold brew coffee that was meh, had the veggie omelet with goat cheese, that was really good. Both the Ft Myers & Cape Coral restaurants have nice ambiance, service is always quick.

    Short Rib Omelette (It's amazing!)
    Dan B.

    Looking for a great breakfast, brunch, or lunch place? Look no further than here - First Watch will satisfy on all levels. Surveying their menu, I noticed their seasonal offering of the "short rib omelette ". The ingredients sounded tasty and intriguing - I mean short ribs in an omelette?? ... what culinary genius! I passed on potatoes and toast and went with their "greens" as my side. The omelette arrived fresh and hot off the griddle. My first taste can best be described as "WOW!" The omelette consists of short ribs braised in red wine, house-roasted shallots and Crimini mushrooms, fresh spinach and mozzarella cheese, and topped with Parmesan cream sauce and fresh herbs. The combination of all these made for an amazing taste! The organic greens with lemon dressing was a perfect pairing for a very satisfying meal. Our server was polite, courteous and friendly. I like that you're greeted when you walk in and wished a happy day upon leaving. If you haven't been here I highly recommend you check them out - and try their short rib omelette (thank me later, ha!).

    Pancakes to go

    As usual- excellent food! I tried the "to go" option for the first time. The food was fast, fresh and still warm when I got back to the hotel 11miles away. Packaged nicely and hot beverages secure. I'm always happy with my Million Dollar Bacon!

    Very yum food, and extremely filling. Waitress was very nice and attentive. Quiet enough, and good feels.

    Avocado and Crab Toast with eggs over easy! Winner! This one rocked!! Get it
    Amberlee B.

    Lunch here was awesome! 2 adults, 2 Three Year Olds and baby had a really great Brunch together. Very accommodating to kids- kids coloring placemat and a 3-pack of crayons, kids lidded cups with bendy straws and a nice selection of kid friendly foods. Kids got a giant and I mean GIANT chocolate chip pancake $5.99. It was the size of the plate- plenty for each of the 3 year olds. We don't eat meat so we subbed fruit for the bacon or sausage side- easy! Kids also wanted cheese yet scrambled eggs ($5.50= $3.8 for eggs and $1.7 for cheese) Skip the $5.5 eggs thing amazing. Kids ate. They were Happy = enjoyable brunch for the adults. 2 Mimosas were ordered for the adults! Fresh squeezed and I mean FRESH deliciously squeezed OJ with an individual bottle of Barefoot Bubbly. $8 each Recommend! Salmon and Veg Frittata was good ($11.8) The creme fraise was perfectly placed and balanced the frittata out. Salmon was a little dry and flavorless but the shallots made up for the lack of salmon flavor. Good but I won't get it again. Once is enough Crab and Avo Toast ($14) was excellent! Plenty of avocado and a good portion of crab. Side of eggs over easy and it was a delicious balance of protein and carbs! This I will get again! It says seasonal/special on the menu- hope it makes the cut and stays for a long time.

    We managed to get in and out of this First Watch location within an hour or so on a Sunday around 10:30am, which is pretty amazing. Our service was quick & the food was great, the only issue I can see arising ever is the entry- there is little space for those waiting for a table and those attempting to cash out.

    Shrimp and grits at first watch very good
    Michael S.

    The food was magnificent. I had shrimp and grits. It's on the menu as a special, but the rest of the food on that menu was beautiful. The service was very nice and the ambience was a pretty cool place nice relaxing a lot of people were smiling I give it a thumbs up.

    The food and service was amazing!! I also got an iced coffee and it was great. I definitely recommend this place to anyone the area. We were just stopping through the town but very glad we stopped here!

    First Watch Eggs Benedict
    Jeff S.

    Potato fries burnt. Deli ham on eggs Benedict. Wasn't very good & did not enjoy. Too many other places to go too. I'll stick w house of omelettes.

    Cute breakfast spot. Omelette was great, bacon was nice and crispy. My partner got french toast which was delicious. Lots of different options!

    Frittata
    Barbara M.

    Best carrot cake pancakes ever!!! Every time I come to this place that's what I order, they are massive, delicious and so cheap! If I recall correctly it's about $5 for one and $7 for 2. Also ordered the frittata which was good, but nothing compared to the pancakes. To drink, their morning meditation juice is my fav Make sure you get early cuz after 11, you will need to wait in line

My dining partner and I found a spot near the door and were quickly seated upon our entry. The decor was nice and seating was plentiful. Our waitress was really busy but made sure we knew she had best intentions of getting to us as soon as possible. While waiting, we looked over their extensive menu. Everything sounded good. I enjoyed my coffee and refills of my cup while waiting for breakfast in the nearly full (always a good sign) restaurant. Service was very good. I ordered a salmon,spinach and onion omelet with rye toast and tomato slices. Everything was served at the right temperature and tasted great. My dining partner enjoyed their French toast, scrambled eggs and bacon. We thought the price was appropriate for the quality and amount of food we received. Also good, their hot sauce!

Otherwise everyone had very enjoyable food offerings. SERVICE: We were seated at 11:05 for brunch and it was apparent that our waitress was overwhelmed or had too many tables. Unfortunately First Watch continues to serve excellent coffee but milk is presented in miniature "milk jugs" from a bygone era, each holding less milk than a thimble. We were given 3 thimbles for four guests. We asked at once for more "thimbles" knowing we are coffee devotees and were eager for more. Minutes later a bus from Shell Pointe (we think) dropped off 15 (!) elderly folks setting up on about 4 tables, and we were astonished to see our harried waitress take that collection to waitress that group. Two other waitresses divided up so we had more than one server. Truthfully it was 11:50 before more thimbles of milk arrived. Dreadful. Awful. AMBIANCE: Average to above average. Not terribly loud, thankfully. SUMMARY: We have enjoyed First Watch ever since they opened their 4 places in the county. This was such a problem experience that we may just try different locations since the overall food and charges are well within normal limits. This may have been a day when one or more staff failed to come to work making our experience with waitresses to be so problematic.

Many of baked goods to choose from as you can see from the pictures. As for my chocolate croissant, a bit disappointing. Dry and barely any chocolate. I'd asked to have it warmed and it just flaked. All so very surprising coming from especially a FRENCH bakery. Which... leads me to surmise the others may be dry as well? I gave it 3 stars as the cappuccino was tasty and ambiance was enjoyable. I may or may not try it again. Perhaps it was just the morning batch? But feel free to check it out!
