Rock salt potatoes

We just had breakfast at first watch. I had the traditional breakfast of scrambled eggs, artisan, toast, and potatoes; my partner had eggs Benedict Florentine. The scrambled eggs were done soft as I wished very nice. The artisan toast is OK, nothing spectacular - tastes like something you get out of the bag from the grocery store. But those potatoes...someone used rock salt on them. If you wanted high blood pressure that was the way to get it! Furthermore, I feel quite certain that these were boiled first, and then fried as the potatoes have the consistency of an unmashed potato, and the onions were burnt/charred beyond recognition. The eggs Benedict were very nicely done on a tough ciabatta. The accompanying green Salad was so sparsely dressed that it was more like eating lettuce leaves. I'm not sure where they get their coffee, but it isn't Guatemala, Brazil, or Colombia. It taste somewhat like the Flavia machine in the doctors office. Uninspired. Will we go back? I doubt it. The price is way too high for what they are offering.

Great brunch spot! We've been before & are always happy. Their pancakes are so fluffy & 1 is big enough for 2 to share

Wait time on a Saturday morning was much less than the location off Barrett pkwy so that was a plus. Nice brunch spot. Reasonably priced meals..... you get value for what you spend. It was crowded as to be expected but noise level was decent.

Had a great breakfast here early Saturday morning! Good service and good food. I highly recommend the shrimp and grits. I also love that they serve breakfast and lunch through the day!

First Watch seems like a really trendy restaurant that I was excited to try but it definitely left something to be desired. The ambiance was very nice. It was a great place to sit and hangout with a friend or group. The service was really good and one of the highlights of my visit. The waitress was very attentive and the food came out quicker than expected. The food sounded great but just didn't live up to what I expected. I had the farmhouse skillet and it lacked a lot of taste. The potatoes seemed a little undercooked and overall it just wasn't great. The fruit cup was disappointing as well. The toast and the preserves however were great and very tasty. My partner was also disappointed with her meal however she liked the toast as well. I may return to First Watch if someone else wants to go but I don't see myself going out of the way to go back.

What is their price range are they expensive?

Most items are $8-11 plus $3 for coffee, a little more for juice. They serve a good-sized portion and the food is delicious, not your standard breakfast fare so I feel the prices are justified.

I can see parking being an issue on days that all of the businesses are open. However, I arrived close to closing time and had no problem parking directly in front of the shop. When I entered I immediately appreciated the decor. It gives tropical rainforest vibes! When I appreciated the counter I was greeted. There were two staff present. The gentleman appears to be a more seasoned employee and the female appeared to be in training. After looking at the menu I opted for a pistachio latte with oat milk and empanadas. I was told that they would be closing shortly. I believe I had about 30 min prior to closing time. This was more than enjoy time for me to drink a drink and eat my food. As such, I opted to dine in. The empanadas came out first. They were not my style. The pastry part was more like a corn bread consistency. I am accustomed to to emphasis being more of a dough like consistency. Additionally they tasted like something you just pull out the freezer and warm up. I would not order them again. When the drink arrived I had to confirm it was pistachio because I saw chocolate everywhere. The staff immediately recalled that I did not want whole milk and told me he had to re- make my drink. When it arrived for the second time the presentation was the same- it looked like a chocolate drink and not pistachio. When I took a sip I was shocked to find chunks of pistachios in the drink. I had to drink and eat the drink- interesting concept. I will say that the coffee taste on its own may be okay- however, collectively I was not a fan of this drink. Overall I do not have the best experience with the food or drink from this spot. I do give kudos for the ambiance and the service!

Not my style, but if you're obsessed with dogs, you'll probably think it's adorable. My boyfriend and I went together. He loved the barista's nonchalant vibe. Me, not so much. I don't need a parade when I walk in, but a simple smile goes a long way. Price-wise, the coffee is fair. I wouldn't pay a cent more. I got Kirby's signature mocha iced (regular). It was fine...nothing special. My boyfriend got the same thing hot and enjoyed it, but he's a simple guy. I'm... not. So here's the bottom line: If you're looking for coffee that's innovative, unique, or memorable, this isn't the place. If you want a cute, simple mom‑and‑pop shop with reliable coffee that won't hit you with Starbucks prices, it'll do the job. One more thing: my boyfriend bought a chocolate cookie that was labeled as a chocolate chip pound cake, which turned out to be a brownie. The disorganization matches the overall vibe. But hey, happy coffee hunting
