Despite the restaurant being busy, we were seated in a reasonable timeframe. We were checked in on enough times, but not too many. I like that you get your own coffee pot and water bottle so that you can refill your own drinks. There is also a coffee station right inside the entrance so that you can have coffee while waiting to be seated. I appreciate that you can pay at your table using a QR code; more places should have this. Ambiance - feels like a breakfast/brunch place for the general population. Lots of tables to accommodate their many customers. The potatoes were very salty, as another reviewer pointed out. The maple bacon croissant sandwich was good, though it could have used a few more jalapeños. I would try something else next time. Highly recommend the kale tonic, which was my favorite. I also liked the Million dollar bacon, but it's only 4 pieces of bacon for $6.29, in case that matters to you. The Works omelet was also good - good source of protein. read more

I've been to a few First Watches and this one was great! Good portion sizes for the price. It's a little small inside so I could see there being a wait on weekend brunch times. The pumpkin spice donuts were delicious but I didn't really taste any pumpkin? Basically just cinnamon which I'm not complaining about because they were still incredible. Traditional breakfast was delicious - eggs, toast, I sub fruit for meat since I'm vegetarian, and potatoes. read more

The servers and food are great but the host staff needs an attitude adjustment. Not sure if the guy is the manager but he was rude and confrontational when we're just expressing how big our party is and that we called ahead (he claimed we didn't and that the party size was originally smaller). read more

This place is open for breakfast and lunch only. This makes it a great brunch spot. When some of us want breakfast and others lunch or both we go here. The food is delicious and the service is good. Not fancy by any means so it's perfect for a casual outing. read more

This First Watch location was spot-on in its service, food quality and cleanliness. I met a friend for brunch and we were very pleased with the food. My custom omelet was just right, the multi-grain bread was delicious and the coffee was excellent, and also hot (something most places can't figure out, but First Watch does it right). The place was packed, as might be expected on a weekend morning, so allow a little time for waiting if you show up at peak business hours. read more

First Watch is always good, though always busy. Sat at the community table. Nice, though the chairs aren't super comfortable. Had the double bacon hash. Pretty good, not too heavy. Just the right amount of food. My wife had the breakfast tacos... Better than the hash. Service was ok, but since they give you carafes of water and coffee, doesn't matter too much. read more

Came here around 8am for Mother's Day and this place was already packed! Can definitely tell it's popular among locals, and even with the crowds we were seated with only a short wait. The vibe is a mix of new American with classic diner, with elevated menu options but simplistic service including pour your own coffee and creamer packets on the table. We started with the holey donuts and they were quite tasty dipped in the homemade preserves. The texture is more like a churro than a donut though, and while tasty not the fluffy delight we were expecting. For breakfast we had the Traditional, the Bacado Omelet, the Farmhouse Hash and the Hawaiian Toast (a spring special). The standout was the omelet, creamy from the avocado and cheese and balanced ratio of filling to egg. The Hawaiian toast was underwhelming, lacking in coconut and tropical flavors as promised. The Hawaiian toast took an additional 10minutes to arrive to the table, so we were all eating at different paces. The service was attentive although slightly off-standish. We also felt a little rushed, understanding it was a busy time but clearing plates while we still are using forks to grab food is a little excessive. Overall it's a decent breakfast, and for available selections around the town it's a good option. read more

The sunrise granola bowl should be called the sunrise yogurt bowl because that's practically all that's in it. I ordered it to go based on the food description and the picture on the menu. What I ended up getting was a giant container of yogurt with a few granola sprinkles on top three blueberries one blackberry and one piece of pineapple. That is a lot of money for a bowl of yogurt. I thought the granola was supposed to have almonds in it. I didn't get enough granola to even get an almond. Absolute scam read more

Have been going here weekly for about a year and a half. The food is good and the service is excellent. The good coffee rounds it out for an overall 4 stars. A little salty for my taste but Im trying to cut back on that. It gets busy for lunchtime so plan to arrive early rather than late in the lunchtime service. Overall will continue to be a regular here. Its worth the trip. read more

The food at First Watch is always gr8! Interesting combinations. Really good coffee. Warm atmosphere.

Such a cute little spot! We walked in a quickly got a table for 6, the service was great and so was the food! They even let me swap the eggs on the avo toast for potatoes (to make it vegan)! read more

The Bacado is one of my favorites and I have it almost every time we go there. Recently my wife had some menu restrictions and the waitress made the adjustments and they came out great. The service was great and the ambiance was fine for a place that has a large crowd. Good job. read more

This First Watch location serves excellent food prepared well. There is ample staffing and service is speedy. This location is in a a shopping center with a number of business so navigating the parking can be tricky. I generally do not love paying $30 for bacon and eggs. First Watch has a decent variety on their menu to make breakfast an adventure! read more

I came in with my two daughters and was really disappointed with our experience. We ordered our food right after sitting down, but it took forever to come out. What made it worse was the service--we were completely ignored by our waitress. She regularly checked on all the tables around us, both large and small parties, but never once came by our table. No drink refills, no updates--nothing. We eventually had to get up and ask for our check just to leave. It felt like we were invisible. Definitely not the kind of experience I expected from First Watch. read more

Wife and I enjoyed the fresh and healthy food they serve there at a reasonable price. The atmosphere was typical of a new building. Service was very good and friendly. read more

I love First Watch. I have found a new love at FW however, I'm sad that my favorite is only around for the summer! It is the Elote. This is EVERYTHING. It has corn, eggs, potato, chorizo, tortillas, lime, avocado, and then this spicy crema sauce. *chef kiss. We also love the Elevated Egg sandwich and the AM Superfood Bowl. Really everything we have had we have liked. I do really love their special toast with almond butter with sea salt flakes. That is ballah. read more

I came here once to try their breakfast. It was definitely worth it. I tried their super natural freshly made juices followed by a delicious Benedict. Service was also great so I was definitely happy with the overall experience. I'll definitely come back for another breakfast this week. Excited to try other dishes. read more

Visited during a snow event and the place was packed! I can see why. The staff were so nice and the drinks and food were great! I had the iced mint mocha coffee. SO good! I then had the smoked salmon and roasted vegetable frittata and seasoned potatoes and gluten free toast. Delicious! I got a hibiscus tea, cranberry iced drink to go. It's holiday in a glass! So glad my kids suggested First Watch for brunch. read more

Liz was great and super attentive. I'm indecisive about breakfast so her knowledge of the menu was awesome. Definitely will be coming back, the chicken sausage was one I wouldn't have thought to order otherwise read more

I could not have asked for anything more in a breakfast place -- this totally hit the spot! Their online menu is what got me really, as they have tantalizing pics and provide ample detail as to how each dish/drink is prepared and what's in them. I was seriously craving fresh juices on this particular road trip, and the Morning Meditation was the best juice I had by far. Not only does it look like a gorgeous sunset, but I loved every single creative ingredient in there. It was so refreshing and healing! My friend's biscuits and gravy were so scrumptiously savory. I usually can't eat biscuits because they're so heavy, but I ended up stealing half of his dish because it was such good quality. I definitely recommend. Our waitress recommended (out of the 3 omelets I couldn't decide on) the Inspired Italian Omelet. I LOVED the sundried tomatoes and delish Italian sausage inside. The side salad + lemony dressing were so good. The side of potatoes were fresh (not soggy) and had a good flavor. The jam that even came with my toast was unique and excellent. I wish there were locations by me, but hey, hopefully you're lucky enough to give them a try! Service was on point and friendly. read more

The food was pretty good and the restaurant was bright, very open and cute. However the customer service was very mediocre. The waitress never cracked a smile, she didn't look like she enjoyed her job. I got the same vibe from the cashier when I went up to pay for my meal. read more

This is a consistently solid breakfast place. Nothing fancy but always averages a good breakfast. They have a very diverse menu separating it from other basic breakfast places in Longmont. From Avocado toast with basted eggs, ricotta lemon pancakes, and a rotating specials Menu with some super unique items, there is something for everyone. I personally also love their juices. They have an amazing kale drink that I consistently crave. It feels extremely good drinking it. They also typically have a turmeric juice as well that is decent. They also will adjust the menu as needed. Eggs can be requested any way you want and if you are vegetarian they will often substitute avocado for meat in most dishes. They are a bit mushroom heavy with their vegetarian options, but thats a good thing if you like mushrooms! They are a family friendly restaurant, and their interior is friendly and casual. The closest competition on their level is Le Peep. read more

As a fan of First Watch, I was gravely disappointed in my experience here. Our server (who didn't introduce himself but he had cauliflower ears so hard to miss) dropped the ball on numerous occasions but it was how he brought the check that was the last straw for my husband and me. To start, it was a pain to get on the waitlist. There were a bunch of folks crowding the doors so you couldn't tell who was in a line and what it was for. We managed to join the right line. After the hostess seated someone who opted to eat outside we were excited to be next, but then she walked off. We awkwardly approach her, asking if we can get on the list even though we were clearly next in line when she seated the woman outside. At that point, we were quoted 30-45mins. Yeahhhh, it took almost an hour to be seated. Once we were seated, it all went down hill. Since he didn't introduce himself, I'm just going to call our server Chad. It took a moment for Chad to address our table, enough time for us to definitively decide on what we wanted to try this time. When Chad walked up, he grabbed our drink orders and then scurried away. We would've loved to have placed our food order but it was fine, we thought, he might have a process. Chad delivered drinks, no straws, and grabbed our food orders. I ordered the Floridian French toast with a side of potatoes and the sugar free syrup. He ordered the biscuits and gravy, egg whites scrambled (that I ate), potatoes, and we shared their seasonal cinnamon roll crunch thing. I don't know how the cooks do it, but they manage to whip out food so quickly and accurately. I love it and commend them highly for it. Chad arrived with our food, scurried away, and then quickly returned with "some syrup." Mid sentence of me asking "is this the sugar free syrup?" Chad scurried away to another table, dropped off "some syrup," and scurried past our table at which point I waved my hand and said "excuse me!" Bro's deaf. For me, that was the turning point because there were what seemed like micro aggressions the whole time and I hate drawing attention to myself so me waving my hand while he scurried by and loudly (yet politely, like that high pitch, sorry to bother you voice) saying "excuse me!" was not what I wanted. I opted to wait before eating anything that needed syrup because I wanted to be sure it was the syrup I requested. Once the right syrup was loudly dropped onto our table (I don't think Chad liked that I asked him for it), the meal was everything you'd imagine it to be. Everything tasted great and was cooked to perfection. Zero complaints on the food itself and I highly recommend you try the cinnamon roll crunch thing. It's worth it on a cheat day! The straw that broke my husband's back was when the bill came. Chad approached the table, looked at me (still chewing my last bite), looked at my husband, paused for a sec, then asked "soooo 2 separate checks, right?" Had I not had food in my mouth, I probably would've snapped and been *that black lady causing a scene* because this dude had the audacity to look at me wearing a wedding ring, look at the white guy sitting across from me who is also wearing a wedding ring, analyze the situation, then come to the wrong conclusion that we're not together and I'm going to pay my bill separately... never mind the fact that we shared items. Tsk tsk, Chad. Bad move! That alone was icing on the cake for an overall shitty experience brought to us solely by the one and only chad. His lack of situational awareness was truly baffling. And the shitty thing is the table behind us, who had a different server, seemed to be fine. The whole place was busy so Chad had zero excuse for his behavior. I never heard the other server treat the folks sitting behind us funny like Chad did with us. That guy seemed super nice and I envy not having him serve us because maybe we would've had a better experience. read more

From Atlanta, but we have one here as well. We've always liked this restaurant- good food and service. The atmosphere was busy and clean, nice. read more

The food was above average, but more like an upscale Denny's or IHOP (which is across the street btw). The wait time, crowd, and the noise level were way too much to manage on a Sunday morning though. The service was good, food was ok, but due to the wait, crowds, and noise level - I won't be returning. The food wasn't that great that I'd be willing to deal with that kind of commotion. read more

Even for a busy Sunday morning we were seated pretty quickly. Service was prompt and food came in a timely manner. Portion sizes were on par with pricing and everything tasted delicious, albeit the potatoes were a little undercooked. Waitress was friendly and efficient. Love the amount of food options given so there is something for everyone. Will be back to this location. read more

Was so excited to see a First Watch restaurant in the Longmont area. It was wonderful to put our name on the Yahoo waitlist, and we were seated fairly quickly after arrival. But I was troubled how long tables sit vacant while there's groups waiting. We had a nice lunch. I had a Cobb (they forgot the blue cheese and I didn't realize it until nearly done!) My son had the biscuit and gravy which he called gritty. The biscuit was dry. Not recommended. My husband's Chickiechanga was was plentiful and very good, a little bit spicy but quite light. Coffee was strong and good. For the 3 of us it was $40 pre-tip. read more

Second visit to First Watch after a so-so first breakfast visit with cold food. Ordered the Trifecta Food was delivered eggs were cold, waffle was not hot either and didn't melt the butter but Hot Syrup did. Only 1 link of pork sausage. Portion size for the price was disappointing. Told server eggs were cold, she apologized and explained they don't use heat lamps. Offered to bring new eggs. I declined as was already thru them. She took $5 off the tab and gave us a $20 coupon. Maybe just put the $25 towards a heat lamp! read more

Not that busy when we went, food was pretty good but it took us awhile to be seated when it seemed like multiple tables were open
