    Egg white omelette with fresh fruit and toast-strawberry jam was terrific!

    Location Just off Third street North Jax Beach Parking Large open lot Atmosphere Clean, friendly, upscale breakfast/lunch spot Service Outstanding Menu Seasonal offerings. I want to try the bacon jalapeño corn bread. So many choices of coffees, specials, entrees. Summary Clean, friendly/immediate service, awesome menu!! This is our Jax Beach go to breakfast spot.

    This place is just... ok. If you're looking for cheap-ish, semi-healthy looking brunch with good ambiance, I would definitely recommend coming here. The service is good and you can pay on your phone so you don't have to wait for the waitress to come by to get your card.

    First time here, and we had a great experience. Both dishes were delicious and looked so pretty. Service was also on point, will be back to try more dishes.

    Fast casual dining with affordable prices. Everything was great about our experience. Billy was attentive, food came out quickly and was really good. The place is very clean as well. If I lived in Florida I can definitely see this place as a staple.

    Avocado Toast with eggs over medium.

    Always great service and food at First Watch and Jacksonville's was no exception! I had the avocado toast with eggs over medium which is very satisfying.

    Ham and Gruyere Omelet Delicious! Everything here is great.

    Great food, great service. Came here at 8am on a Sunday and they had PLENTY of seating available. Only downfall of this location is that there's no alcohol. They had this Hacienda Hash during the month of August and it was delicious. Wishing they would keep that on the menu. Those flavors were fire. I got an omelette. It was omlettey. Haha. The bread that was with it was great and I love their little side salads you can opt for with the entrees. All First Watches are great. Just wishing I could have had a mimosa here!

    Choirizo omelet and pumpkin pancakes!

    Food was okay, not sure if it was worth the price vs a regular diner. Staff was very pleasant / friendly, and the restaurant was extremely clean.

    We made an impromptu stop at First Watch. After checking the app and putting our name in we had about a 15 minute wait, which for a weekend wasn't bad. After waiting we received a text message that said our table was ready. When we went to the host stand we were being taken to an inside table, so we requested outside and the hostess said it would be another 15 minutes. No harm, since we would have waited. After about 15 minutes we were brought to our table. Unfortunately they were all out of kids menus and crayons. Luckily I had 8001 items in my purse to keep my little one busy and a phone doesn't hurt either lol. I checked out the menu, then looked over the specials insert. After looking over the specials I opted for the short rib omelette with Parmesan cream sauce. Our server came to our table, was masked. His name was Airius and was just lovely. He was attentive, interacted with the kids, and kept checking to see if we needed anything. I also ordered a cold brew and ordered a kids chocolate chip pancake and sausage for my kiddo. My mom and sister ordered the same thing I did. I have to say less than 10 minutes later our meal came out. This is the first time in a while I've been to First Watch that we've had this quick of a turnaround. My cold brew was robust and icy cold. My omelette was perfectly cooked, the short ribs were tender and the cream sauce was flavorful. My kiddo ate his entire meal, and even a piece of niece's bacon. Pros: -new menu items -cheerful and attentive server -short turnaround time on food orders -now serving mimosas, and some vodka cocktails Con: -prices seemed to have increased Tips: try the new special, it was delish

    The Carnitas Burrito 'bowl' style without picked onion. Delicious!

    I can't say enough good things about Breezy Coffee Shop Wine Bar -- it's so much more than a coffee…read moreshop. Last week of April 2026, my wife Judy and I were in Jacksonville/Atlantic Beach for a conference. While I was in session, she returned to our rental condo and got locked out due to a malfunctioning electronic door lock. She couldn't reach me (ringer off), so she walked down the street to Breezy. Owner Nancy Breezy immediately welcomed her with open arms. She lent Judy her personal phone so she could contact the condo owners to get the door fixed. Once that was handled, Nancy introduced Judy to the regulars, making her feel completely at home. Judy ordered a delicious latte and some gluten-free baked goods -- both were outstanding. On a deeper note, Judy has been through an incredibly tough couple of years with painful losses that had shaken her faith in human kindness. Nancy single-handedly restored that faith. Breezy feels like a quaint, neighborly oasis of love, fueled by Nancy's genuine goodness. Everything served here seems infused with what we now call "Vitamin L" -- pure love and warmth. Nancy didn't just help with a locked door -- she rescued my wife's spirit that day. If you're in Jacksonville Beach, make time for Breezy. You'll leave with great coffee, amazing treats, and an even bigger smile. Thank you, Nancy -- you are a gem!

    I tried the new Southern Grounds location at Jax Beach and ordered a breakfast sandwich on…read moresourdough (no meat). The food was... fine. Nothing bad, nothing memorable, especially for the hype and prices. The overall experience, though, was pretty rough. Parking was a nightmare (maybe because it was a Saturday morning, but still worth noting). My main issue was the service when ordering. Zero eye contact, no greeting, no "thank you," no receipt... just "here's your total" and a table number. I stood there awkwardly for a second and finally asked, "Uh, all set?" and got a very annoyed "uhhh yeah? you're good." The entire interaction felt dismissive and rude. The cashier was rolling silverware at the register the whole time and clearly couldn't care less. First time I've personally experienced the infamous Gen Z stare, and wow... it's real. Probably won't be back, at least not to this location.

    Meowza! I love this new location!!…read more There is so much indoor seating and tables of all sizes. I often go to Sogro for a few hours to get work done and sometimes feel bad taking up a whole 4-top when it's busy but that's no issue at this new location. Plenty of bar seating and 2-tops. The food, of course, is so delicious. I have been cautiously optimistic about recent menu changes but so far all the menu updates have been equally, if not more, delicious than what was replaced. My current favorites are: - making my regular coffee and cinnamon toast coffee - the tuscan turkey sandwich - the chickpea side salad
