    Who doesn't love a good breakfast spot? We're always on the lookout for a place to have a filling and delicious breakfast, and for some reason places fall short. Not so with First Watch! Our server, Bri, was amazing - great friendly attitude, warm and most importantly she was on top of everything. A+ service The food came out quickly and it was hot and fresh and expertly prepared. Asked for eggs over easy and got perfection, no goopy slime but delicious runny yolks. Loved the interior design as well. Can't wait to come back!

    Tomato basil soup and BLTE sandwich for me and husband order the traditional breakfast.

    Tomato basil soup and BLTE sandwich for me and husband order the traditional breakfast. It was all really good. Service was normal but nothing outstanding. One review said it was freezing in there but the day I went it was actually muggy hot. Food was fresh. Would definitely go again.

    Enjoyed  my birthday with my friends and delighted everything the dishes .

    Excellent service and food . I enjoyed my breakfast, my birthday with my friends I recommend this place

    order and packed with flavor. I was impressed! The dish I ordered was the Farmhouse Hash, which featured perfectly seasoned potatoes that were crispy on the outside and topped with a sunny-side-up egg and toast. I paired it with a refreshing mimosa. My mother ordered the Works Omelette, which she said was excellent. The servers are always cheerful and attentive, ensuring we never had to ask for anything. The restaurant's layout is lovely, offering indoor seating, outdoor patio seating, and even a bar area with windows and walls that slide open to let in fresh air and natural light. The space feels bright and inviting. This is definitely a great spot to enjoy breakfast or brunch and start your day off right!

    Love the waffles comes with jam and the buttery cinnamon.

    Can't go wrong with brunch! The food is always good , drinks are yummy too. There always seems to be a line but it goes by quick! Indoor and outdoor seating available. Service is quick!

    Grabbed brunch together as a family. We hadn't been together in a while and wanted to share a meal together. There were 7 of us in the party, one of which was a 2 year old. I got the tri-fecta and it did not disappoint. Others were pleased with what they got. My wife got some green leafy salad or something and she said it was just ok and didn't eat most of it. My daughter got the club and one bite had some gnarly tasting avacado but generally it was good. All in all, first watch didn't disappoint. Service wasn't that good as we had to ask for more coffee. Basically delivered the food and we didn't see our server again. Fortunately we enjoying the company more than we were thinking about the service.

    I was excited when they were opening up a First Watch restaurant in St. Cloud. First Watch is a great spot for a healthy breakfast or lunch. I joined their waiting list the moment I left my house. When I arrived I was #3 in line. The prices are reasonable , although portion sizes are a bit smaller than other restaurants, but it's very filling. We ordered the works omelette and the Trifecta with a morning meditation. Everything tasted good. The service was not only friendly but also impressively efficient, making for an enjoyable dining experience. Highly recommended!

    The food is always fresh with generous portions. The hostess and servers are attentive and friendly, and the restaurant is bright, open, and clean. Some people complain about the price, but let's face it, everything's more expensive, and if I'm going to pay for someone else to cook me breakfast, it better be quality food and great service, which you will get eating here.

    The food was amazing per usual. Let's take a minute and appreciate the entire staff.. While checking into the restaurant there was an emergency and the hostess cleared the area to allow a clear path for the first responders. Brought everything back to its place and continued where she left off. Our waitress, Alexandra, was the sweetest and extremely kind. She listened closely while taking our orders and even suggested to add some menu items for a more enhanced tasted. Al thought it was busy, she made it her point to check in with us from the moment we sat down until we left. I truly applaud this phenomenal group of team members creating an efficient yet cosy ambiance.

    Almira S.

    The food was delicious as it usually is here but the service was just not it at all . Very inattentive and took forever to get a refill on drinks. Server didn't have much knowledge on the menu. The ambiance is pretty kind and cafeteria style. It's nice to see families together enjoying the best meal.

    Purple Haze. Absolutely delicious!

I chose a heavy one with coffee notes and my husband got the jalapeño wrapper. He let me try a puff and immediately I was jealous and wanted to trade.

We will be back for another date night to try the food.

    I visited the Old Fashion Cigar shop Saturday 28-February-2026…read more This was my first time to this cigar shop. Visiting the area for two weeks. Google Cigar stores near me and this was the first on the list. I give it a 2 because of the billing experience. I would recommend people to visit. But pay attention to the billing process. The lack of a humidor = 1. The attentiveness to the customer = 5. Bathroom was clean and taken care of = 5. Seating was adequate = 3. It is a small cigar shop by footprint the main area has the cigars along the wall. A bathroom and a number of comfortable seating options. If one chooses there are tables outside to use. There is a bar area in a second room. It has bar stools for sitting. I was there mid afternoon not crowded. The owner Mr. G told me there is music in evening come the weekend. I would imagine this could become a tight place to be in. There is no humidor room for cigars. I shown a humidifier up in the ceiling area. But yet the door was open. Due to room size it would not be possible to setup a humidor room. That would give pause on how well cigars can hold up. I smoked two and one of them the wrapper started to show signs of coming apart. But was able to finish it. The team is very friendly. I was greeted when I came in. Was shown the cigar selections. Mr G the owner spent time chatting with me. Waitresses were attentive. I had a couple of Dark IPAs on tap. Good Pricing was to be expected ranging from $10 to $20. The downside to the experience was when I checked out 18% tip was added to the bill ($15.00) Yet on the bottom it has suggested tip from 18%, 20, 25%. So one is tipping on the beverages and beer. The tax is about 10.5%. In all my cigar shop visits I have never paid a tip on cigars. The beers were $5.95 each. I know that someone took time to show me the selection but others shop do as well. If i do visit again I would pay for the cigars upon purchase. Let the bar bill be a seperate charge. At this point when I tip I do it in cash and keep it to 10% to 15% and if exceptional 20%. The beers were expensive based on the tip. I am sure there is rationale to the why but this one took away from the whole experience. I supposed I could have push back but just let it be as a learning experience. The last point is when I went to sign off it was suggested by the staff and machine I could add an additional tip amount. I declined.

The fact that your menu has NO PRICES, is a sleazy tactic to charge high prices without being honest. Then you have negative signage everywhere; charging $.50 for a water cup..!? Other people have also commented about how disingenuous this place is. It's like generically using Bible verses to ripoff Christians and it's a bad look.. $30 for a few WATERED down coffees and slices of bread. Never going here again. I'd rather go to a non "Christian" business that doesn't rip off their customers and aren't rude.. Here's tips: 1. Be transparent on your menu pricing. 2. Stop watering down your coffee as many have said. 3 Take off all your negative and cheapskate water signage. If I see outreach from the business and update to their deceptive menu, I'd happily come back here and revisit my low rating.

There are plenty of places to take cute Instagram pictures. However, that does not help the overall score of the rest of the experience. When we first arrived, we were instructed to review the menu at a seat-yourself station and then return to the front to place our order. There were some interesting and tasty-looking options to pick from. Unfortunately, I was a bit perplexed by the pricing on the menu versus what came up on the cash register. I ordered the Mixed Berries Crepes with Nutella ($11), and I was going to order a Strawberry Boba for $5, but instead my total was nearing $25 dollars?? The pricing did not match the menu. The cash register didn't seem very friendly. When I noticed my crepe read "Banana/Strawberry" instead of Mixed Berry. I clarified I was getting the correct order. She told me, "Yes, yes." (Spoil alert: I did not get the mixed berries but instead a Strawberry and Banana Crepe...) I paid, and then took the little marker flag with a number they give you so the waitresses can find the correct table to deliver the orders to. My coworker and I waited in the back for our orders. Although we ordered back-to-back, the orders were fulfilled at different intervals. When my order finally arrived, the waitress was looking for the right table to deliver it to. I raised my hand and said it was my order. She looked at me with scrutiny as if I were lying to her. ( What was the point of the flag marker with the number then, if you're uncertain of the order???) My crepe was pretty, but overall, it was okay in flavor and taste. It wasn't very hot, though, and was lukewarm. I would give the crepe a 3 out of 5 stars. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't anything I'd come running back for. The staff wasn't the friendliest and seemed confused and disorganized. I would not come back here again. Read the prior low reviews, as most of the complaints others have had with this establishment seem to be a running occurrence.
