Besides serving excellent coffee in their café, they also supply coffee to other businesses across Southwest Florida. On this visit, I ordered a cappuccino. In my opinion, a great cup of coffee is about more than just the ingredients; it's also about the barista, the equipment, and their technique. The barista here crafted a strong espresso with just the right ratio of milk and perfect foam. Delightful! The café itself is cozy and warm, and as usual, it was crowded. There's easy off-street parking since it's located in a small commercial strip center. This place represents what a great coffee experience should be--and it's right here in North Port. Salute!

Ice cream is also served here and it's Blue Bell! As someone who lives in Texas where Blue Bell is a blue blood, my heart skipped a beat seeing they serve it here.

Absolutely love this place. My husband and I go there often, we have started bringing in our friends just so that they can see and taste for themselves why we rant and rave about this place so much. The food is awesome and always hot. They offer a 2 for you special and you can get half of a sandwich and half of a salad or half of a salad and a cup of soup for 1 price. I really enjoy this because I can not eat so much in 1 sitting and this special is just perfect for me. The service is even better. We always try to ask for the server, Courtney. She is such a doll. She always welcomes us with such a warm kind smile. She is very attentive to our needs and really goes above and beyond to make our experiences there so great. She even likes to joke around with the guys at our table when they start picking on her! We just laugh and have such a great time. Keep up the great work Courtney and First Watch, we have more friends to bring in! read more

How disappointing. The menu focuses on how their "fresh" food is but the salad I just sampled shouldn't have been served. Just awful, really bad. I called it to the attention of the server and asked for another, she brought out another plate with what must have been from the same batch. Couldn't believe it!. She never checked back, I thought a manager may check back but no one did, finally called another server to get the manager and his indifference was as unfortunate as the salad. read more

This is probably my favorite breakfast place.

You know they are a good breakfast spot when people are waiting at 6:15 for doors to open. We had…read morebreakfast here a few years ago and enjoyed it; wanted to go back but we don't eat breakfast often. Prices were higher this time, understandably. They are still better priced on a basic breakfast than other places nearby. I wanted to try their eggs Benedict even though I've only ever had it maybe 2-3 times in my life! I'm not a good person to judge since I'm not really sure what hollandaise should taste like! It was more tangy tart than I expected. The eggs were cooked the way they should be and the ham was thick. In my memory, it should've had a stronger ham flavor, as I think Canadian bacon is the traditional meat and I was hoping for that. But even eating a piece of the thick ham by itself, I couldn't taste a salty smoked ham flavor. While I found that disappointing, I couldn't take a star away because visually it looked great, and I imagine a lot of people would love to see that thick slice of ham even if it is too mild! Don't judge it by my photo because I broke my yolks and stirred them up before I remembered to take a photo. The grits (my choice of side) were just like I like them. My husband got a 2 eggs breakfast with home fries (?) sausage and toast. It was a full plate of food and he enjoyed it. They have home made strawberry jam (yum!) and I will for sure get breakfast with toast or biscuits next time just so I can have some of that jam. I did put a little bit of jam on a couple bites of my English muffin from under my Benedict. The coffee mug was tall so my husband appreciated that; and the friendly & attentive server, Melissa, filled it before empty, as needed. We will be back "sooner than later" hopefully, because there's more I want to try on their menu. I do recommend going here for breakfast especially if you are an early bird or find yourself out and about very early for some reason like we were, and need a breakfast. I think they might get crowded quickly, so early is better. Note that their hours were not accurate on the iPhone maps app - I submitted correct hours and it's pending approval. However I used the website hours and one of their days I think it was Sunday - was showing closed at 1 but it's actually 1:30.

They also provide a small bowl of applesauce which was very good and we appreciated the amount. I had tow biscuits with gravy, two scrambled eggs, and hash browns. In my opinion, they have the best biscuits and gravy in the area. Gravy has plenty of flavor and the biscuits are soft and flaky on the inside, yum. Chasity was our server and she was fantastic! Got our order right, checked back to make sure everything was good, and offered good conversation.
