    Million Dollar Bacon
    Renee D.

    My husband knows the way to my heart is through a good brunch potato, so he set out on a mission to find a spot that would impress -- and First Watch absolutely delivered. We honestly didn't know what to expect, but everything turned out so good. We kicked things off with mimosas, and I love the way they serve them here: a split of champagne and your own glass of juice. Cute, simple, and honestly the perfect brunch starter. The Million Dollar Bacon lived up to its name -- sweet, smoky, and ridiculously addictive. I ordered the Parma Skillet Hash, which was packed with flavor, and my husband went with the Carne Asada Tacos. Of course I stole a bite (or two), and they were delicious. This spot easily earned its place as our new go-to brunch stop whenever we're in Jacksonville. Huge shoutout to our waitress Savanah, who was amazing -- friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. The inside low-key gives Denny's vibes (lol), but don't let that fool you. The food? Top tier. We'll definitely be back!

    I have been to First Watch several times, but this was my first time at this location and it was truly enjoyable. A catch up between girlfriends was fun with a tasty breakfast. Waitress was helpful without being overbearing. Checking in on us. Lowkey, easy going vibes here. Nice and clean atmosphere. The power breakfast bowl was so tasty. Didn't need additional seasoning. Flavored just right. Of course I added a little hot sauce because...why not. Affordable, entire bill with tip was less than $20.

    Tried out the Strawberry tres leche French toast! Yum! We went on a Sunday, and it was pretty busy but our waiter was very attentive and polite. First watch is our alternative brunch spot when we don't feel like crossing the bridge for Cracker Barrel lol. Just about anything on the menu is a delicious option!

    Eggs Benedict with potatoes-not mine

    11/23/25. I must say I'm amazed lately how many people go out to eat! Here a Sunday morning 9:30-10:00 am and the place was packed! We were saying goodbye to family and decided to meet for breakfast (not sure why all those other people were there...lol). Service was good, food was good, prices on the high end but you left feeling like you ate. The maple syrup was hot for our waffles/pancakes, eggs done right..I understand why people come....

    First Watch is a place where you can get Boutique-style cooking from a Chain restaurant. I particularly like this place because they have cleaner eat option. They're not afraid to mix their menu with new & infused flavors. They have fresh squeezed juices and tonics. Also, ordering coffee comes with your own karafe. Walking into the restaurant it's tables and booths. I've only gone during the week so it's not crowd. All the rave this time is Lavendar French Toast. The subtle taste of lavender sweetened by mousse was a delight & the Kale Tonic is my favorite IT's just refreshing. Also, at the Mandarin location, there are tables near outlets. I was able to do some work from home (WFH) while I was there. The wait staff were super accommodating.

    Very busy location with lots of seating inside and outside. Our server was very kind and professional. The hostess up front was so nice and he made sure that we were comfortable and properly seated within a timely manner. The dishes were made to order and the drinks and juices weee amazing. I really enjoyed the large portions of food with very reasonable prices.

    After a bit of shopping at Plaza, we decided to stop by First Watch for a quick bite. It's part of a chain with mostly a breakfast menu. We ordered oatmeal for my daughter, and I got an omelet, both of which were fresh and delicious. The highlight was the lemon bluberry pancake we had for dessert--so fresh and flavorful! We enjoyed our meal at First Watch, and it was a delightful stop. Free parking nearby. Clean, nice, but crowded as well as at other locations. There is plenty of free parking nearby.

    This was disappointing. How do you serve an old, brown avocado spread.

    This was disappointing. How do you serve an old, brown avocado spread. And when I ask to change it for a fresh, they brought me another one the same way. The chef incharge should know better

    BLT eggs benedict
    Rachael O.

    Went here on a Sunday at 11am and got a table within 15 mins! Service was quick and our waitress was really friendly. The BLT Benedict was one of the best things I've gotten here so far! There was a lemon-y vinaigrette on top which really made the dish so unique and delicious, highly would recommend! There were tons of gluten free options for someone in our group. Outside & inside seating, we sat outside because it felt nice out. It's a little loud inside but outside was nice!

    Nice selection of healthy breakfast items. Moreover the place was clean and the server was friendly. I might make it a routine.

    I have visited this amazing Italian cafe so many times, and they never disappoint me. The owners…read moreare actually from Italy, so you will hear them speaking Italian. The owner, Massi, is such a nice guy and loves to tell funny jokes. His wife, Sabrina, isn't always there, but she is the sweetest and always provides my family with the best customer service. Because I have been raving about this place so much, all my relatives love it and go there regularly (yes, they go every weekend). Please don't expect Starbucks drinks from there. They serve authentic Italian style coffee, so you will get a hot caffe latte in a tall glass. The macchiato will be in a small espresso cup. Try their hot cappuccino with whole milk so you can experience the authentic way of making cappuccino (they only use one shot of espresso, and they said that's the Italian way!). Italian hot chocolate is also a favorite among European customers. Sandwiches are always great, and my favorite is prosciutto, arugula, Parmesan cheese, and tomato. It's a perfect spot to gather with friends or family. This cafe is a must try. These pictures are from multiple visits within three years.

    Latte flavor is rich. But I don't know if have different beans can chose. Desserts in fridge,…read morelooks a little bit dry, but I didn't taste it yet. Coffee taste good

    School is back in session, and I FINALLY get to enjoy another quiet calming breakfast by myself and…read morewhere is the first place I want to go? Le petit Paris of course! I tried the tomato soup for the first time today and it was divine!! Nice and hearty, not runny like most places. I also liked the arugula they put on top of the soup... gives it an interesting/different flavor and texture. Love! It took awhile 15+ min to get the food, but totally worth the wait.

    Went here for a birthday brunch and i loved the vibes! If…read moreyou are going here to expect "service" there is none, you order your food and they bring it on you, thats it. No one checks on you. Food here is very affordable, and we paid right about 50$ for the 2 of us. We did tip when we paid upfront as we thought we were gonna set serviced at the table but that was not the case. The food was a 5/10. Not much flavor at all. Only thing we liked was the balsamic dressing, the side salad and the orange as a side, hehe. The espresso tasted burnt. The coconut latte did not taste like coconut at all. I had high expectations for this place but we did not like the food here. They had very nice interior designing, so it is good for pictures!
