First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Macedonia, Ohio

Fabulous brunch and fresh fruit/veggie juices daily. Don't miss the specials! Service is always great... one of our favorite places to eat on the weekend. Decent vegan/veggie options. read more

It wasn't bad, but it was not amazing. We ate and were satisfied. I would eat there again, but it would not be my top breakfast recommendation. You cannot go wrong, but I think there is better. read more

Love it here and have been to several locations over the last two years. The place is always jammed full of people and has the cutest aesthetic- sort of farm and hipster vibe all at once. Service is great and the food is very good. I love the omelets and so times get a power bowl depending on the mood. My kids like the waffles and also the sandwiches. Prices are reasonable . Overall, a good place for yummy breakfast or lunch. read more

We came on a Sunday around 9:30 with a large party and they were able to accommodate us quicky. By the time we left there were quite a few people waiting to be seated. Great menu and food was better than your average breakfast place. I would order something different next time but overall a great meal. read more

Best breakfast around. Rather pricy. I did have a long wait at table to get served.

Beware. If you go here, it'll be an hour after you order a basic breakfast item like eggs before you get your food.

The interior of First Watch was the first thing that caught my attention. All the tables and decor were very modern, and the ambiance was bright and nice as well. We were seated quickly, and our waitress was polite and patient. I went with three of my friends, and we got two Strawberry Smashes, one Kale Tonic, and a small grapefruit. The Strawberry Smash was refreshing and similar to lemonade, while the apple in the Kale Tonic was prominent and almost similar to banana. My friend who ordered the grapefruit noted it tasted like orange juice. Furthermore, I loved how the water was self served through a large chilled mason jar. We waited ten to fifteen minutes before our food came, and the presentation of the AM Superfoods Bowl did not disappoint. The coconut milk chia seed pudding was thick, creamy, and very fulfilling. I did not end up finishing the chia seed pudding, and while the whole wheat toast was thick cut and delicious with the almond butter spread, I could not finish it either. My friend let my try her lemon ricotta pancakes, and they were presented beautifully as well and tasted warm and fluffy. Although I have to admit, the pancakes were a little bland, and I personally thought maple syrup was needed. Another of my friends ordered a side of potatoes. They weren't too bad and were fairly decent. Overall, from the decor to the service to the food, my first experience at First Watch was pleasant, and while not perfect, enjoyable. read more

First Watch - am superfoods bowl with almond butter toast! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Macedonia, Ohio

I eat out at least once a month at this first watch and am never disappointed in anything when I go there. The atmosphere is very friendly and the staff is great! During the weekends the place can be pretty crowded and there might be a wait but I can assure you that it is worth it. Today I got there summer seasonal açaí bowl and it came with toast that had an almond butter spread. First, the açaí base of the bowl was great and very flavorful. Next, the fruit was as fresh as it could be. Finally, the toast with the almond butter was amazing. The service is always very fast and friendly. They even opened the door for me today! I will definitely be making more visits to this first watch location soon and am excited to see what the fall seasonal foods are gonna be! read more

I have a serious weakness for the avocado toast here, and their coffee is pretty good too. The wait can be hellacious, but you can check in ahead on NoWait (now you can do that from right here on Yelp!) If its on the menu, you HAVE to try the Millionaire's Bacon. Heaven on a plate. :) read more

Food was OK, service was good, however I thought it was expensive, for what you get. I got two eggs toast, sausage, potatoes and coffee. The meal was $14.84 + tip. They didn't have real coffee creamer, just room temperature plastic packets. I asked for lemon with my water and never received any. I could have went another mile down the road and got the 6.99 special at another breakfast place. read more

Slow slow slow slow service! This location was so slow and disorganized. Also found a feed pieces of hair in my breakfast

Great brunch experience. We have gone there as a couple and also with our twin baby boys and they always accommodate. The avocado toast is one of the best things on the menu and a close second is the turkey burger. read more

Good breakfast. But very expensive. You can do much better for breakfast in this area.

Had breakfast here this morning and it was amazing. The food and service were great. We had a short wait but the host was on top of things so people weren't waiting too long. I will definitely recommend this restaurant and dine here again. read more

We come here often and love it. The staff is kind and helpful. They are very busy on Sundays especially, and typically they handle it very well. There have been a few visits that we haven't been pleased but also understand that when that happens they're slammed. The food quality is great as well. read more

There aren't many healthy breakfast or lunch options in Macedonia so First Watch is a nice addition to the area. The menu serves only breakfast and lunch and most menu items are low carb, organic and healthier for you. The Benedict's are full of flavor and the avocado toast is a must for all of you basic chicks. I've also had the power wrap before which is bland on flavor, but add some hot sauce and pico to it for an extra kick. Plus, all dishes are served with a side of fruit, a lightly dressed salad or baked potato wedges. So if you're looking to indulge in your meal, First Watch isn't the place, but if you want a light meal that won't leave you regretting your decision- this is your place. Feel good about what you eat. read more

Had a fantastic experience at this location! The food was fantastic and the service was even better. Try the Millionaire Bacon... Sooo good!

I think this place is ok but truly wonder why it is popular on weekends. They do not have enough parking space, their food is just ok and is better for breakfast than lunch. Variety is limited and service varies from day to day depending I guess who is cooking. Atmosphere is clean but food is a bit overpriced for what you get. read more

Food was great...but that's where it ends. The customer service was not great. We got our food about 20 minutes after we ordered, we still did not have silverware to eat the food. In addition a few of the waiters were very rude, also the man running the cash register was very unpleasant. Not impressed. read more

Delicious breakfast selections. Love the million dollar bacon, pancake varieties. Fresh and lots of flavor.

Very good restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I had the BLT Eggs Benedict. The bacon was amazing, of course there could have been more of it. The eggs were spot on and the homemade bread was an excellent substitute for English muffins. Tip: DEFINITELY sign up for the nowait app and reserve your spot. Even then there may be a little wait. It's worth it. read more

Great place to stop & have breakfast. I went with something clean & healthy. The veggie omelet & potatoes read more

I went back and forth between 2 and 3 stars, but decided to give them 3. My experience here was acceptable, and I only have one specific complaint - the quality of the coffee - which is horrendous. They do give you a thermal carafe for the table, which is nice - but you probably won't need it. I took a few sips and quickly realized that it was undrinkable. I had to go to Starbucks afterwards to get a decent cup of coffee. The waffle was OK, nothing special. I did find it to be unusually tough to cut through with the provided butter knife. It almost seemed chewy like marshmallow, but the flavor was definitely fine. Bacon was a bit flimsy, but that definitely beats having it burnt. Eggs were exactly as you'd expect. Based on the food and coffee quality, they were headed for a solid 2-star rating. However, the quality of the service pushed them over the threshold to 3 stars. I have to say the service was quite good. We were seated immediately (but that could have had something to do with the fact that there were only maybe 3 or 4 occupied tables in the whole place at 7:50 AM - not a good sign), and our waiter was very friendly and attentive. I'll give it another shot at some point, but I won't be rushing back, as there's plenty of equivalent-quality places right around the corner from here. read more

Have tried this place in Macedonia 3 times. All of the times they forgot my avocado.. seems over priced for breakfast and brunch food.

First off so glad we got in on a Sunday. We visited Newport News, Va twice and never got in!! So happy we saw this on Yelp. Well the waitress is very perky this morning and the coffee is very rich without a burnt roasted taste, yummy. BF ordered Chiliquiles, and me eggs Bene with ham n mater. Wellllll these are my thoughts. The classics: not so great. My Bene muffin was cold and soggy although there was plenty of ham... And hardly any Holidaise to speak of. Wa wa waaaaa. Won't order that again. Fruit was a nice touch tho. The Mexican dish : the eggs were undercooked for sunny side up and the verde sauce not enuf. He is used to having it with red sauce tho. Soooo the classics sucked. So again we eat all around the country and I give their food a 5 out of 10. If we try them again we will order one of their specialtys. Everyone else seems to be enjoying themselves. It's also very loud in here so a conversation is tough. read more

Excellent place to spend some quite time with Loved ones! Excellent service by Chantelle! Excellent food! Would recommend to anyone!

Even before we got through to door, I was impressed with the workers polite gesture of holding the door for us. Our server was very nice and responsive to our requests. The dining area was spacious and modern with both booths and tables. The food was delicious and it had a very nice presentation! I got the power wrap and subbed the turkey with some chicken and was delighted with the wrap. The house roasted Crimini mushrooms were simply amazing. My friend got the winter seasonal A.M. Superfoods Bowl and even though she isn't a big fan of coconut milk or chia seeds, she really loved the bowl and couldn't stop tell us throughout the meal. My other friend got the avocado toast and it certainly came piled high with smashed avocado! Yum! I would highly recommend this place for a nice breakfast with friends or family and I even glanced at the lunch menu and was impressed with the options there too! Will definitely be coming back! read more

First Watch - Great selection of breakfast and lunch options. This is the Superfood AM Bowl with almond buttered toast. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Macedonia, Ohio

First time at this first watch location. Great service and excellent food. Lots of healthy breakfast options! read more

I have been here at least 15 times since it first opened and the food has always been fresh. I have had varying levels of service, but overall, I usually have a decent experience. I normally try to stay away from chain restaurants, but I love brunch and breakfast and there are not many restaurants like that around Macedonia. I enjoy their seasonal menu and I typically order something from that, but their chickichanga is one of my favorite dishes and I always end up going back to that. I occasionally have their juices and I feel that while they are on the pricey side, they are priced fairly compared to other restaurants. I like their flavor combinations and my favorite is morning meditation. read more

The food is usually a hit or miss with online ordering. I waited 45 minutes outside for a burrito, even though I ordered it 40 minutes prior, which is about an hour and a half to 2 hour wait.. Probably never coming back in person or for online order. read more

Love First Watch for its food and service but can't, in good faith, give it any more than 3 stars because of its prices. OMG, I have to save up to come get some avocado toast and eggs...Too much. read more

Unplanned stop here as we were traveling through the area. I follow a vegan diet and didn't bother checking out the menu beforehand as it appeared to be a healthy spot that would offer vegan options .. my mistake! I can't believe a popular breakfast/brunch spot does not have lactose-free milk alternatives?? Basically the only item I could order off the menu was the avocado toast. They're generous on the avocado, I'll give them that. Service was subpar. They put forth no effort to accommodate. Wait was quite long. read more

Very disapponted. My husband's food was cold at arrival. It was a breakfast special and was very dry. My eggs (ordered over medium) had yolks that dipped in - I think they had been sitting awhile. Service was barely ok. I mentioned something about my hash browns not being done "well" as requested, but she barely looked interested. I hope these issues will iron themselves out over time - it is still fairly new. read more

Excellent food with a great variety in menu. Place has a very positive energy with the decor and etc. there are plenty of healthy options in menu to choose from. We loved this place for brunch and will be returning again for sure. read more

Had high Hope's for this place but wasn't impressed. First off, for a place that is pushing "healthier" alternatives and uses phrases such as "farm to table" and "farm to fork" I was very disappointed that the only "cream" the offered for coffee was those little plastic cups of UHT half and half, and those God awful flavored "creamers." I ended up ordering a vegetarian frittata. It was supposed to be topped with parmesan and mozzerella cheese. There might have been a tiny bit, but it was hardly noticable. The frittata came with kale in it, and I was fine with the kale, except I also got a lot of kale stems which were woody, fibrous, and all but impossible to chew. I understand adding fiber to my diet but that is not good eating. Server as nice, but too friendly. Took twice as long to order than it should have as she seemed to stop and tell a story between each person's order. Overall, not terribly impressed which is sad as I really had high Hope's for the place. As a high note, the Million Dollar Bacon is awesome. read more

Love this place! The food is always fresh! The servers are very friendly and you get your order fast! So yummy!!

We came here for breakfast yesterday while we are visiting Cleveland. There was no wait time and the host was very friendly. He sat us quickly and let us know that Caroline would be with us shortly. Caroline was also lovely, a good server and very friendly. We both ordered iced coffees, they come pre made with cream and sugar, they were standard iced coffees. They also offer cold brew that doesn't have the fixins yet. I ordered the Elevated Egg Sandwich, the sandwich was good and the hash browns that came with were seasoned well. The only think about the sandwich I didn't quite get was the bun. It was brioche and it was super thick, I got huge mouth fulls of bread. I would have preferred it on an english muffin or biscuit. My fiancé has the Florentine Eggs Benedict. It was a large portion and he enjoyed it. We ordered a side of biscuits and gravy the share, they were out of biscuits so we didn't get to have them. Overall, would go again. Nice atmosphere, nice and bright and open. read more

This is the best brunch I've had in a while, and with the app you don't have to wait in line! Both healthy and less healthy food!
