    Briana was our waitress and was a simply a pleasure to have her spirit around. She's personable! Made my mom's birthday breakfast feel like homemade. Thank you first watch and please know you have a great asset to you establishment. Thank you for the smiley face on the pancake

    Came for lunch on a Friday at 12 pm. Was not packed and immediately sat. They do have a parking lot which plenty of parking spaces. It is a bit small and shared with other businesses, so I can see it being a bit packed during peak hours. The food was delicious! I got a the farm house hash skillet bowl, and it was delicious! Everything tasted fresh and was seasoned to perfection. Their seasonal watermelon juice was so refreshing! It was not too sweet and not too bitter. The perfect consistency. Definitely will be back to try other dishes.

    First Watch - Matthews - Soooooo good!! Loved the blueberry lemon corn bread! Grits were spot on. Million dollar bacon was SWEET - but good. Great roast beef and Gruyère with creamy horse radish on sourdough bread! The tomato soup was wonderful as well loved dunking our sandwiches in it. Worth a visit. Busy?? But the staff is on point!

    The coffee was delicious. I enjoyed my almond butter, toast the million dollar bacon was really good. The cornbread was served cold asked them to warm it came out warm still not warm enough to melt the butter, in a cast-iron pan. Disappointing.

    Brown spoiled Avocado toast

    The atmosphere and service was average. However, we came here for the food and it was unacceptable quality. Coffee was gas station quality. What breakfast/brunch place doesn't have an espresso machine nowadays? I ordered the avocado toast and the avocado came out brown and tasted spoiled. The eggs on the side were watery like they cooked them in a pan with water instead of oil/butter. Eggs and avocado were flavorless. Don't waste your precious time/money coming here.

    I've been to this location twice now. I ordered to go 45 minutes before closing. My food took a while as if the staff was not aware of my order. I was asked by a couple of different people for my name. The food was very good. I personally enjoy the restaurant chain, but the standards vary depending on the location. I wish they had a couple of vegan options.

(I grabbed a pillow for working with my sore back.) Lovely chill vibe. Even the regulars are friendly! Great food & drink options- they offer catering services. Nice place to meet up with friends or business associates. Lots of parking also. And they offer a formalized working space next door for those who need to rent a work spot on a more consistent basis. A new favorite of mine.

    The dining space is quite large and the seating was somewhat comfortable. It has more of a…read morerestaurant than a cafe feel. I just wanted something to snack on so despite the large menu, I chose to get a guava and cheese empanada. The flavor was good but it wasn't worth the price tag (almost $5). I tried to order a nitro cold brew but was told they were out, and had been for years.....so I ordered an iced cafe con leche. I had to ask for it 3 times because the cashier didn't seem to know what is was, despite being on the menu hanging above her head. Her co-worker had to show her which button to hit on the POS. I'm sorry to say that this was the worst coffee I've ever had. No flavor at all. It tasted like watered down milk. They should probably fix their menu because calling that a cafe con leche was completely misleading. Overall, a very unpleasant experience.

When I went to redeem my Goodiebag offer the guy working the counter was amazing. I got there very close to closing and he was so sweet. He went into the counter and filled our bag was savory treats. There was around 7/8 items in the bag. Everything he put in the bag was a surprise to us. We noticed a few of the names but they looked alike in the bag. Now we had 2 with hamburger meat/ground beef. They were our favorites. One had ham and cheese and one had corn and cheese. Both were delicious. Small round cheese breads were very chewy. Our least favorite was the hot dog but it wasn't terrible. We opted to get a sweet treat also and loved it also. It was a milk and coconut twisted bread. All in all I was super impressed with what we got and all the delicious flavors. We split the goodie bag items between 3 people and were very satisfied. Romeo and Juliet Brazilian Cafe 1605 Galleria Blvd Ste 105 Charlotte, NC 28270 (Review 16 in 2024 and 816 overall)

I always get the flan it is the best in the state BUT it is not consistent unfortunately and is expensive I keep buying as most of the time it is amazing but when it is not I have not eaten it or tossed it again unfortunate. I do love most of what I get and always try new things and you can fine inside and take tons to go. They have other interesting and international gourmet goodies to treat yourself to. I do wish that all counter staff could communicate in English as I ended up a few times with things I would not have ordered and it was due to miscommunication and again the price is expensive and worth it when on point. I do recommend this spot as there are many reasons to come just make sure you know what you are getting and see about samples maybe before. Cute space tons of parking and easy to access.

This particular time I was able to take a good look due to traffic slowing down and read the sign so I pulled in the parking lot to read some reviews and check out their menu. I went in and decided on the bulogi banh mi and a white chocolate mocha. The bread was beyond ridiculously good. It was perfection, nice crunch on the outside and soft on the inside. Both were soooooo good. Also got a strawberry cream cheese pastry to go which was just as good. And the atmosphere is absolutely adorable in there. Some people were on laptops, I brought a book in to read while enjoying my items. Everything was so good I had to go back the very next day. I will definitely become a regular since it's so close to home and work.

From the fresh baked aroma to the spa like feel and warm welcome, I was sold!

Will be back to try the banh mi and fresh baked bread!
