    This place is like my go to when I can't determine what I want to eat. The variety of healthy yet still tasty options, quick service, large portions and decent pricing makes it a no brainer. Ask for Bryan if you want smooth service with a smile. He also has great recommendations. I typically sit inside because the heat in Miami can be a lot but you have the option to sit indoors or outside. The outside views are not the greatest.

    Chimichurri Steak & Eggs Hash

    On our last day of vacation, we decided to stop by First Watch for breakfast. We've visited their locations in New Jersey and South Carolina before, but this was our first time at this specific spot. Knowing they tend to stay busy, we put ourselves on the digital waitlist before arriving; although the estimated wait was 20 minutes, we were pleasantly surprised to be seated within five minutes of getting there. The restaurant has a bright, modern, and inviting atmosphere that makes it a perfect place for a relaxed family meal. We started by ordering the Million Dollar Bacon for the table, which was a hit as always. For our main meals, I had the Chimichurri Steak Hash, my wife went with the Farmhouse Hash, my sister-in-law chose the Elevated Egg Sandwich, and my father-in-law ordered the Traditional Breakfast. Everything tasted great and maintained the high standard we expect from this brand. My father-in-law especially enjoyed his meal--he devoured the entire plate and looked like he could have gone back for seconds! It was a perfect way to wrap up our trip.

    Service here has always been consistent! I love that during your birthday if you're part of the email newsletter you get a free entrees with the purchase of another. Like every year I get the lemon ricotta pancakes! Always fresh & always lemony!!!! The staff is friendly - we aren't weekly regulars but they always remember us! Until the next adventure!

    First Watch - Miami Gardens delivers exactly what you want in a breakfast spot. First off, let's give credit where it's due: they carry Coke products. That's already a win in my book. Pair that with a cold glass of fresh orange juice that hits just right, and you're off to a solid start. I came in for the Million Dollar Bacon--because, let's be honest, how could you not? Perfectly sweet, smoky, and worth the hype. Rounded it out with the Eggs Benedict (potatoes on the side, because why not live a little), and everything came out hot, fresh, and on point. The service matched the food--friendly, attentive, and smooth from start to finish. You can tell the team here actually cares about getting things right. Ambiance is First Watch. It's like a kitchen table--life itself. If you're in Miami Gardens and need a proper breakfast or brunch spot, this location of First Watch deserves the stop.

    So after 6 years i came to try once again! Must say much better!! I had to find something quick & close for a cousin of mine & I took him here. Simple it did not disappoint!

    Quick stop for breakfast and it was just what I needed. This place gets busy very quickly. The food was pretty good and the service was bad.

    I had been to First Watch in Fort Myers so I was very excited to try a location closer to where I live. As always it did not disappoint! It was my friend's first time going to First Watch and they were all very impressed and enjoyed their dishes! Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful, the service was great and the ambiance of the restaurant was welcoming and is a great Breakfast/Brunch spot! I will definitely be coming back! I'm very glad to see you are expanding and opening new locations!

    Lemon ricotta pancake and million dollar bacon
    Jeane N.

    These lemon ricotta pancakes are worth talking about! So fluffy and huge portions. The lemon curd topping that they put on the pancake was a nice blend of citrus and sweet and I would recommend to anyone. Pro-tip, there is always a wait so use the Get In Line option online or in their app.

    One of my all-time fave breakfast/brunch spots. Came here earlier today with a friend and they did not disappoint! Food: 10/10 Everything was so tasty and they came out fresh and hot. I had the smoked salmon frittata and the new summer strawberry tres leches french toast! That french toast is to die for. You should definitely try it. Service: 10/10 Our server was amazing. Super quick, efficient, attentive and even recommended food we should try. Glad to say he was right about the food! He checked on us multiple times throughout the experience and I loved it. Drinks: 9/10 I tried the spiked watermelon wake up. It was part of their summer menu. Soooo good. They make all of their juices fresh with premium fruit everyday. Decor & Ambiance: 7/10 It's your typical cafe/brunch spot. The artwork they have is pretty cute and colorful. However, they don't have decor like a moody restaurant or over the top aesthetic restaurant would, and that's ok! It's still warm, cozy, inviting and super clean. Overall, I love First Watch and I've been coming here for a few years now. They always exceed expectations and I love their food. Definitely coming back soon.

    Roast beef sandwich with tomato soup
    Melissa V.

    I enjoyed their chicken avocado salad. You can pick any of their salad half sized if you also get their soup. Soup of the day was vegetable soup. It was chunky and flavorful. Last time, I went for the tomato soup but it was too thick to my liking. The roast beef sandwich was decent, though! My kid couldn't finish his roast beef and havarti sandwich, but wanted pancake instead. That fluffy item appeared in pretty shorter time than expected and the kid finished that without stress. The sun dried/roasted tomatoes kept dripping out of the sandwich -- I took a bite of one of them, no shame lol. My sis and mom shared a plated of potatoes and some kind of egg omelet. This is my mom and sister's fave location. The parking lot is kind of confusing, but you can park with ease. It's also next to the Starbucks and in the shopping plaza shared with Publix and TJ Maxx. The atmosphere of this place was as expected -- not quiet and definitely crowded. You can enjoy some cocktails here but it's also very family family. John took care of us. The service was fast and pleasant.

    Best brunch I've ever had. I usually stay away from breakfast places because I'm really picky about my eggs and they usually come out greasy. Not here though! I ordered the Brooklyn breakfast sandwich which came with 2 eggs on top of a pile of pastrami, arugula, pickled red onion on a beautiful artisan roll. Service was top notch and all the servers were full of excitement. Absolutely great service with awesome recommendations. The place was electric and there was a great mix of people. The place was busy which always makes me happy because that means the food is coming out hot and fresh. Place was clean inside and outside. I was seated right away which I couldn't believe because it was so packed. Perfect place for the perfect meal!

The turn in is a bit awkward, but there parking lot was pretty much empty at that time (and completely full by the time we left). I do not have a large car and the spots are super narrow. If you drive a truck, I would not try to park in the inner lot in front of the entrance. The place is clearly LGBT friendly; kudos for the pride flags out front. I immediately felt like I was walking into a hipster cafe in Cali. You order and pay inside; get a table number and the bring your food and drinks out to you. There's indoor and outdoor seating. I got the secret pita and golden latte. Service was relatively quick. Drink came then food shortly after. I totally wasn't thinking when I got the golden latte. It was a bit warm outside for a hot latte but I wanted to try something unique. Hard to describe but I enjoyed it. It came with granola on the dish. Not sure if you are supposed to throw it in. The squirrels and birds ended up eating mine. Yes, there was a lot of wildlife that was not shy. The squirrel was literally eating out of my hand and would have sat on our table if my friend allowed it. The bird flew in and did just that though. Came back for seconds a few times. Then as the place got busier, they must have gone off to bother others. As an animal lover, this was a fun perk but may be a turn off to some. The presentation for the pita was unexpected. I had to open a the box to get to my meal. You can choose how the egg is cooked. I went with the default sunny side up. The chorizo hit. Hummus was ok. Kind of bland. I didn't care for olives and picked the fruit off my dessert pita. Felt like I had enough pita carbs by the time I got to it. The ambiance was mostly peaceful. They do play music which was on the border of getting too loud. Coffee was pricy but all coffee is now. The food was also on the high end. This would be a major factor on whether to come back. I don't recall anything unique on the menu aside from the pita. The menu appears to change seasonally though.

First the ambiance. The minute you walk into the restaurant, you feel as if you were transported to a high-end European cafe or a London tea room. The elegance, the fresh roses, and the smart blend of modern and art deco styles immediately sets a romantic mood whether you're there for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. Second, the food. Under the leadership of Chef Gianluca, he brings to life a variety of delicious Mediterranean inspired dishes. I tried the tuna tartar, the eggplant Parmesan, and the crispy shrimp as appetizers. That was followed by a homemade pasta dish that was perfectly al dente and amazing. As a main dish, I tried the filet mignon with truffles and mushrooms. But, as good as the meal tasted, however, the freshly made pistachio gelato served on a frozen stone for dessert was a show stopper. But, the ambiance and the food could not be outmatched by the stellar service. Our server Damaris, and her team added to the attention to detail that the ambiance and the food demanded and accomplished by the exemplary service on par with any Michelin starred restaurant. Adding to the experience, however, was the live entertainment by Vocalist Cami Liz, whose sultry renditions of ageless songs only added to the enchanting ambiance, the delicious food and romantic charm of The Rose Cafe, that ensures a return visit! https://www.rosecafeandrestaurant.com/
