One of my favorite breakfasts places. The food was great, restaurant was clean and the service was excellent. I had The Works omelette and it came with a ton of lettuce. Delicious and it included various meats and veggies. The wife got an omelette with bacon and avocado. It too had a ton of lettuce. Also very good and somewhat reasonably priced. I'd go back. read more

Breakfast with the guys. Ordered the Barbacoa Chiliquillas Power Bowl. Filling altho the barbacoa was pretty sparse. Taste was there and the spice was absolutely just right. Initial attention from our server seemed a bit tentative on the front end but turned out to be fine. Still trying to adjust to new and yet constantly changing menu prices ... sign of the times??? read more

First watch has really good, fresh food. Everything seems to be homemade and the fresh juices especially are worth trying. I've ordered the market scramble both times and I'm not even a vegetarian - highly recommend that one! The servers are friendly and welcoming and the service has been pretty good also. I'll definitely be back! read more

Ashlynn was our server and she was an absolute gem. So kind and sweet! Definitely ask for her when you go in. The food on the fall menu was really good! The chicken hash was delicious along with the fall croissant breakfast sandwich. All their cocktails were good as well, we especially liked the cereal milk one. The service all around is great. The manager or owner was there to greet and open the door. Definitely recommend! read more

First Watch - Fall croissant breakfast Sandwich - American Near Me - Highlands Ranch, Colorado

Definitely a solid breakfast spot in the highlands ranch nook of Littleton. We attempted to go on a Saturday morning after a long trail hike. Ready and hungry, we were sat immediately by the busy crew and the entire place was bustling! But surprisingly highly organized and not chaotic at all. We loved the coziness of the decor. We were sat by a window and I would personally request a window seat any time because it's out of the way. So it worked out in our favor. Quick service, great menu options and something for everyone. The dishes were well thought out, fresh, simple, and their toast is to die for. I love a seeded hearty toast covered in butter and that's what you can find here. Plus they give you a tin of jam which was also amazing. Warning is that if you're lactose intolerant, their cheese topped dishes have A LOT of cheese. I'm not, but even I took off a third of the cheese. It was way too much for me (a cheese lover). Overall a great place and I loved the manager was on the floor helping out the staff wherever he could. read more

First Watch - Traditional breakfast with pork sausages and 2 eggs over medium. 1/2 salad and 1/2 potatoes. Yum!! - American Near Me - Highlands Ranch, Colorado

I often meet friends for breakfast here. The food is reliably good with a variety of brunch choices. The restaurant is noisy. So we eat on the patio, weather permitting. The service was attentive and detail oriented. read more

Service and ambiance are always great! We've been served by the same servers for years which speaks volumes of a restaurant. Kids food portions are big! Only critique would be to toast the sandwich bread ;) read more

First Watch always delivers for a solid, locally sourced with fresh ingredients brunch. We attended a Yelp event years ago and learned so much about the small details that go into the menu, their choice of ingredients and who and how they partner with folks. We've been fans ever since. We stopped in today, were seated immediately and ordered. Yummy plates have always been on the menu. Today, for me, it was the Frittata Rustica with a Watermelon Wakeup. Omelettes are always a hit for me, and adding mushrooms, onions and tomatoes in a classic Italian style was perfect. Add cheese and some ciabatta bread? I'm sold. Our server was great, despite also being super busy. We didn't need much overall and she made sure to check in often. What was new today that made the whole check out amazing was getting the bill with a handy barcode. Pay at your table, in less than 5 minutes flat and walk out. So nice! read more

Not great for vegans. Especially you have the option of a power bowl or an avocado toast with the eggs taken off but still the same price. I ordered the avocado toast and it didn't have any seasoning. The staff is really nice and my waitress was great. There was no wait on a Thursday morning which was nice read more

I love First Watch. From the fresh juices, to the yummy foods, it is a top brunch location! The service is always great and the staff is always friendly. This location offers both inside and outside seating which is great (in the summer time). 10/10 recommend. read more

Great food awesome service and everything was clean would recommend stopping by if you're in the area for breakfast!!!:):):)

This mid-morning came in to meet a friend after the morning rush. We were seated after a 5 minute wait. The waitstaff: younger male with a man-bun was extremely RUDE. Our table ordered 3 juice drink and a meal to go since the other 2 were not eating. The server brought the drinks and roughly placed them on the table and then threw the straws onto the table. Because this was a business meeting we stayed; but each member in the party looked at each other and were in amazement at how RUDE the sever was to our table! We will not ever go back to this location and any other First Watch locations if this is the culture of the servers at First Watch! Just because people are having drinks, does not mean you won't get a good tip! read more

First watch in highlands ranch is one of my favorites. The service is almost always outstanding with friendly staff that genuinely cares about your experience. I have had many different dishes at this restaurant and everyone of them has been great in its own way! First watch has a very nice energy with cute decorations and lighting. This continues to be one of my favorite breakfast places and I would recommend to anyone looking for a yummy breakfast. This location does get pretty busy during peak hours but they have a great online que that you can join from home so you do not have to wait at the restaurant (as there is not much waiting room inside). First watch also has a seasonal menu that changes from time to time during the year that includes food and drinks which is a nice touch on top of their regular menu. I will be returning often to enjoy first watch again. read more

I found First Watch, which was just around the corner from 9round where I had worked out. I stopped by around 9am. The place was busy but not packed quite yet. I felt like I lucked out with timing, because as soon as I sat down the place started to fill up. Customer service was great. My server was friendly, and the food came out in a timely manner. This was perfect for me, because I had an appointment to get to so my intent was to be in and out. I ordered the cinnamon toast milk cocktail, and it was exactly how it sounded. The wonderfully best part of eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch is drinking up the leftover milk. The cocktail didn't taste boozy at all, but I realized after that I felt a nice warmth after drinking it. I ordered the breakfast tacos, which were delicious. It was loaded with protein (eggs, chicken breast, AND chorizo), and it was pretty flavorful even without the spot checks of Cholula hot sauce. It defaults to a side of black beans, but I opted to get the spring salad instead. I was highly satisfied with my overall experience. read more

Ashlyn. Provided some of the best service we have ever had. My father and I go to breakfast often and we really enjoyed the food and the service. Thank you Ashlynn. read more

Love the vibe here and a flavorful menu to grab brunch now and then. Servers are usually friendly and on it. Would frequent it far more if they'd add specialty coffees to their offerings. Drip coffee is fine, but when brunch is your thing, you've got to step it up, thus the 4 stars. read more

This review is for the Highlands Ranch location. Requested outside seating as we had our dog with us. Told wait for a table would be 15 mins as two women had finished and paid their bill. These women after 20 mins were not leaving. We were seated and ordered. We had not even eaten half of our meal when our server dropped the bill on the table and told us how we could pay it. We had not asked for the bill. The message seemed to be, eat fast, pay and leave. Meanwhile the two women had still not left. I spoke to the cashier and was told that servers were trained to give the bill while we were eating . I questioned this as the woman at the next table who we were talking to had finished her meal and then given the bill. We live in Arvada and had always had positive experiences at that location. read more

I read all the reviews, and if I thought I could trust all of these reviews I never would have gone. But we went, on a Sunday morning, expecting to wait, and perhaps even disappointed. But we were very happy with the results. I'm not sure the reviews I read were for this restaurant. First of all, the wait was short, the people were friendly and easy to deal with. Our waitress was Ashlee, and she did an excellent job of taking care of everything we needed. The place is nicely appointed and clean. Yes, there was chatter, but it was not noisy. The food was excellent. We were not disappointed! So, in spite of all those bad reviews, I would suggest you have breakfast at First Watch. read more

This place is amazing! I tried their Egg sandwich and it did not disappoint. The eggs are fluffy, with avocado and mayo. The waiter was super nice and gave our whole table two pots of coffee! Thier fresh squeezed juice is sweet and thier coffee is great. This place isn't crowded and organized, and the ambience is simple and pleasant. read more

Amazing breakfast experience. Though I love breakfast food, I don't go out for it nearly enough so maybe I'm not the best critic, but everything was exceptionally good to me. I had to share a order seasonal gingerbread spiced donut holes with my pal, and they were divine! Then I just had The Traditional, but the potatoes were cooked perfectly, the chicken sausage was delicious, and the artisan toast was hearty and filling. I actually could only eat 1/2 the plate, which is a good thing since that would be an appropriate serving for a person of my gender, age and size but then add on a few donut holes and that tipped the balance of a "healthy" serving. ;) Waitress was very good and friendly. Cute decor. Highly recommend. read more

Came here for a late brunch on a Sunday. They have a online check in, which I put our names down on but it was still a modest wait after coming in. Nothing crazy though. After getting seated, we had our drink orders taken rather quickly. I ordered the bloody Mary which was very good. It came with a piece of bacon which was delicious. Unfortunately, service was very slow afterwards. Waitress seemed to disappear for several minutes at a time before coming back. Not sure if this is related to a staff shortage. It seemed like all the tables around us were getting their food except us. When it finally arrived, it was hot and fresh and very good. The food here is excellent. The vibe is cute, prices are reasonable. I just couldn't get past the slow service here. read more

Just came in for brunch. Not impressed and we used a coupon. Food seems to be just not enough. Like 80%, we have left here. Just left feeling unsatisfied. Would have been totally disappointed had we not got a meal for free. So I give it a okay! Service was very good so don't want to knock that. Ambiance is a crowed diner vibe, nothing special, nothing horrible either. They have an outside area also. read more

Melody, Great hospitality! Thank you for making my morning a great start of my day. :) read more

I visited First Watch a few times when I lived in AZ, and I always thought it was just okay, but this location is pretty great! My husband and I came for brunch, and even though it was busy, we only waited about 15 minutes. They also have a "community table" you can sit down with others if you don't want to wait. Maybe it's location-specific, but they have brunch cocktails available, and I never noticed that when I went to other First Watch locations. The kale tonic is delicious, and you can get it spiked. My husband and I got mimosas and coffee. The coffee isn't my favorite, but their Project Sunrise thing is cool. My husband ordered the Market Hash, and I wasn't turned on by the menu description, but it was actually really, really tasty. I got the Trifecta. Eggs and sausage okay, but the waffle I got? Amazing. It was super light and crispy, almost funnel cakey or pizelle-like. Best waffle ever, AND they give you warm syrup. After cocktails, coffee, and food, it seemed a little pricey, so the next time we went, my husband and I shared; we still had plenty to eat. The service was fast and friendly. We both really like it here. read more

Imagine a restaurant for the suburbs that is a little healthier than a standard breakfast place. Now, imagine that place gets paid per avocado and you have some idea of what the menu is like at First Watch. This is NOT a standard omelets, pancakes, bacon, and sausage kind of restaurant. It is more of a Boulder restaurant with quinoa and whole grain this and that. And, I'm not joking when I say almost every item on the menu has avocado. I guess the owner must really like them or something. The food they do have here is pretty good and the service was very good as well. It's just that if I don't want "standard" breakfast then I probably prefer Snooze. Like a lot of breakfast places around here it starts to get busy around 9:00 or 9:30. You can reserve a table ahead though on Google and Yelp, I think and avoid what can be a doozy of a line. Overall, I would recommend this as a breakfast place if you're looking for something a bit different. If you are looking for the same, there is a Denny's across the road with the Target. read more

Okay there blueberry tea with lemonade is the best! Such cool drink choices and food. I got an avocado toast that was so goo and my mom got this sweet bacon it was so good! Service was good and checks in frequently. Lots of seats for people and cute pictures. read more

Ben was awesome! The food was delicious. So much better than your competition! Fast service even though there were a lot of customers.

You can not go wrong with this place. Service with smile and nice. Food selection and quality is great.

I know, I know... I am in a bit of a rut at this particular restaurant chain, but when you find something healthy that also doesn't break your dietary restrictions AND that is yummy, it's hard to change! This First Watch lives up to the yummy expectations plus has friendly & quick service read more

Where have I been?!?! First Watch Highlands Ranch is amazing, Great food, great service! My friend and I went for brunch on a Saturday, it was BUSY, but staff handled the crowd beautifully!! The kitchen was behind, but the server checked in and kept us informed the entire time, we even got an extra glass of juice and some candied bacon while we waited! The juice is fresh and amazing! I ordered the new watermelon and my friend ordered the kale tonic, equally amazing! For our entrées I ordered the 2 for you, which included 1/2 market veggie sandwich on multigrain bread and a small chicken avocado chopped salad....amazing!!! My friend ordered a veggie omelette with salad greens dressed with lemon dressing and some multigrain toast and jam. I can't wait to go back and try something else... I love breakfast and brunch food, so this may be my new "go to" place! read more
