    This is my favorite brunch spot in the area because the food is very good but is not super over priced. It always feels fresh and well thought out. The service is always amazing as well, even if they are super busy which they usually are. The ambiance is chill and pretty average for a brunch spot, though I will say it is always clean. This is a well oiled machine with good food and I appreciate that.

    It shouldn't take over eight minutes after you've been seated, to be greeted and asked for a drink order.

    I got their cinnamon toast cereal milk cocktail and their pomegranate sunrise cocktail!

    I've been to this location several times at this point, i have got to say the food is always off the chain! Service can be hit or miss sometimes but food wise, this is some of the best breakfast food out there. Ive been getting their frittata rustica the past couple times I've went it's so good. Their drinks have been amazing too. The last time i went the service was mediocre. Drinks came messed up, I had asked to substitute my bread and it came the same, I ordered a pomegranate sunrise drink and it usually comes with a bottle and a cup and this time it only came with just the cup. We ordered two pancakes and only one came out. And just a whole lot of other things. But as said earlier, the food was amazing.

    Trifecta with Belgian Waffle
    Marietta C.

    Huge fan of First Watch, forever! We don't have a First Watch in our area so anytime I go a bit more south, especially in Florida, I always find an excuse to get their trifecta. I don't really need one except the fact I'm obsessed with their Belgian waffle batter. I don't know what it is but topped with chocolate chips and it is the best little creation. All First Watches were technically created equal, butttttt that's not entirely true. This specific location is located in an awesome plaza, especially since they're right next to World Market, one of my fave stores! But also, they have some of the NICEST workers ever! We got on the waitlist online and still had to wait about 15 min in person. We were greeted not only with a smile but true kindness during the whole time. There wasn't one rude person here! What's everyone drinking? Absolutely love the location especially their hospitality but this spot is amazing. If you sit outdoors you'll barely have to wait.

    Soggy waffle. Microwaved sausage....

    Sat down right away, but didn't have a server for a good 15 minutes. Once we placed our drink and food order we also didn't get our drinks for another 15 minutes. Waitress was super nice, but terrible service. Food came out at all different times. Half of my waffle was soggy and wasn't cooked all the way. The sausage looked like it was from Walmart just thrown in the microwave.

    Morning Meditation
    Amy M.

    I got take-out. Package needs a little work.I got the Power Wrap + herded goat cheese and lemon-dressed organic mixed green salad. OMG!!! The best brunch for take-out. I ate one for brunch and I am going to to save the other half for tomorrow for brunch. Its enough to share with someone else for sure. I also got Morning Meditation and Kale Tonic. So delicious!!! Very refreshing!! Definitely going on my favorite list!!!

    Hot breakfast thats made always fresh. Service is always suberb. Had a afternoon brunch and restaurant was not too busy. Family friendly place expect some noise if your coming in the morning right when they open, usually the time when their busier. My favorite drink that I must have everytime I go is the kale tonic fresh juice ( kale,fuji apple, english cucumber and lemon) it is so refreshing. I tried there seasonal fall pancake flavor ( pumpkin)with eggs and sausage: it was good too. Prices for pancakes are leaning on the high range.

    Power Wrap
    Krisdena R.

    Met an out-of-town friend for breakfast on their way home. It was rather quiet for an early Sunday morning. Staff were prompt and friendly. We placed our orders and engaged in casual conversation while waiting for our meals. We were on the side with full sun and had the shades pulled down. The bacon was crisp & tasty. The Power Wrap was more than my friend could eat, so she took the remain half of wrap home. The lemon ricotta pancakes were very filling and I ended up taking 1/2 of my meal home. As a first time ever customer I was really impressed with location, food, and service and will definitely return with my family.

    Cajun Shrimp & Grits
    Kayla P.

    Delicious as always at any First Watch. The wait was long. We had a reservation but it was Sunday so it didn't help much. The ambiance was sunny and boisterous. Service was friendly and the food was cooked perfectly. I had the shrimp and grits. I loved the fire roasted tomatoes in it. They had the most flavor. The Cajun shrimp wasn't very Cajun but it was grilled nicely. The cheese grits were okay. My guy had chocolate chip pancakes. He likes them better than the blueberry which is saying a lot! The new watermelon pineapple lime drink was FANTASTIC.

    My boyfriend and I love to come here for brunch dates food is always amazing. Service is always great. We'll say if you're trying to go on a holiday make sure to book a reservation. They do get busy fast.

    As you can see it disappeared as quickly as it came

    Hellooo Yelpers March 2025 So this venture landed me at "First Watch" I had never been before, so very excited to share. Very very clean outside in front of and around the grounds. Plenty of parking. We were welcomed in as I stood beside my daughter waiting to be seat this ride customer pushed past me I smiled and assumed she was really hungry and couldn't wait or say excuse me, no worries We are taken to our table and the waitress came right over, very polite and friendly. I told her it was my first visit, so she made a few suggestions I noticed the openness and clean environment around us, well lite and quick service. I tried the Spiked Lavender Lemonade and the Tri Fecta breakfast. I chose French Toast, scrambled eggs with cheese and bacon The drink was refreshing and the hint of lavender really came through; MUST TRY Those had to be the best eggs I have ever eaten, next visit I will ask for soft bacon; it was good but I just like mine a little softer. I am given 2 thumbs up & looking forward to trying other items on the menu. Great job crew!!

    Breakfast wrap
    Amber J.

    I got a breakfast wrap. I was able to customize by taking turkey off. I am not a big meat eater so I was happy to be able to do that. It was very good! The potatoes were a great side option for breakfast. I usually get one of their custom juices, but did not this morning. However, they are always a delicious treat. Anytime I go here. We went around 9:30 AM and only had to wait for 15 minutes. I recommend coming early if you don't want a long wait time!

    Honey Caramel Crunch Iced Coffee
    Danielle H.

    This is a great spot for brunch! We stopped in today for lunch and really enjoyed everything. They were pretty busy, but you can add your name to the waitlist online so I suggest doing that to save time. We had to try the holey donuts and they did not disappoint! They were hot and fresh with yummy dips for them. I got the chickichanga for my entree and I loved it! It was pretty big and very flavorful. I really liked the sauce on top, it was creamy and tangy. My boyfriend got the biscuits and gravy and I snuck a bite. It was great as well. The gravy had a nice flavor and you could taste the sausage. My drink was the honey caramel iced coffee and it was really tasty but very sweet. It was a great lunch!

After more than 20 minutes waiting outside, we went back in and were told we could be seated. The hostess confirmed our name, then immediately seated another couple who had just arrived. We then watched another party who came in after us get seated in better booths and served right away. We were placed in the worst seats right by the check-in area, while those tables were greeted, given menus, and served immediately. We hadn't even been acknowledged properly. The difference in how guests were handled was obvious and hard to ignore. Whether it was poor management or something else, it didn't feel right. We chose to leave and went to The Cheesecake Factory nearby, where the service was respectful and consistent from the start. This needs to be addressed. No one should be treated differently walking into a restaurant.
