We were visiting Orlando for a week and didn't want to eat in the hotel restaurant every morning but also didn't want a greasy breakfast. Did a search for healthy breakfast and stumbled upon First Watch, So glad we did. It was delicious and reasonably priced. I wish this chain was in Canada. read more

This was a great place to have Brunch! The service was excellent and the menu was hard to pick from since all the choices seemed super yummy! I ended up getting the farm stand tacos and my server was super sweet for letting me sub the black beans for potatoes! Would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a filling great price range breakfast! read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Fantastic brunch menu. Not your typical oily eggs and meat joint. The power bowls were great. Fresh pressed juice options (kale!!) were amazing. The service was excellent. They accommodated us very quickly even on a busy Sunday - with two infants and one toddler! (yikes!) Pleasant environment, and even though the place was packed with a line out the door, staff seemed to keep their cool. Would go back if I lived in Orlando! read more

Ordered the fresh fruit crepes... Fruit was really fresh but the crepe fell apart. Yogurt was way too sweet and really generic... tasted like gogurt. I wish it tasted more homemade. Granola was a little stale. Blueberry muffin was ok. Service was kinda slow. read more

You absolutely must eat here!!! We found this restaurant on yelp. We stopped for breakfast before heading to Tampa. The restaurant is everything a restaurant should be at this time, farm fresh, cage-free eggs, fresh vege/fruit juices, quinoa, fresh baked grain bread, top of the line ingredients. The menu is amazing and it was very hard to decide on just 1 thing. I had the Skillet Hash-Parma. I loved every bite!!!! It was full of flavor! It came with a small side of fresh fruit and beautiful fresh baked grain bread. My husband had the Ham and Gruyere Omelette. He said it was very good. The smoked ham had a very nice flavor. Water and coffee was served in a carafe so no need to wait on refills. The restaurant was very bright and fresh looking! Our waitress Natalia was wonderful. She gave use beverages to go without even asking, knowing we had an hour drive ahead of us. I really wanted to get a kale drink but we were so stuffed from the generous portions. Prices are absolutely amazing. I totally would have expected much higher prices with the quality of food they serve. Shhh don't tell management. Lol I highly recommend this restaurant and am jealous I don't have one in PA near me. read more

Great food but awful and slow service. Server was very rude and unapologetic. The quality of their food will bring me back but will try another of their locations. Service is everything in the food industry. read more

Great homemade food for a awesome price. Only paid 17 dollars for a barbacoa benedict with a side of salad, seasoned potatoes, and a hot chocolate. The food was fresh and presented nicely. This place blows any ihop away by a long shot. Be sure to come before 10 am though. The place gets packed really quickly during brunch hours read more

I love First Watch and can always count on a good breakfast/brunch wherever they are located. I ordered the Chickenchanga, which was excellent, as always. Wife and the little one had the chocolate chip pancakes and since both had clean plates, I will take that as a testimonial that they loved their meals. Coffee was delicious. However, service was a little off. Our waiter was very nice, but not very attentive---failing to follow up with refills or even to ask if everything was ok after we received our meals. I am sure the service issue was an anomaly since below par service is uncommon from our experience from at least 2 other locations. Don't let the service at our visit dissuade you from going here, since the service is usually very good and the food is always excellent and priced reasonably. read more

Nice little place to grab breakfast and good change from the hotels when you are visiting Orlando. I had the eggs and salmon with their yummy hashbrowns. Excellent. read more

First Watch takes the classic breakfast concept and spruces it up by offering healthy alternatives right along side the our favorite breakfast indulgences. It's not a unique experience but a pleasant one. The omlettes are executed well and delicious, and the breakfast burrito was tasty. If you have a group of three people and one is craving breakfast, the other is on a diet, and the third is hungry for a sandwich, than third watch is the perfect place to satisfy everyone. read more

This is an exceptionally enjoyable breakfast place a bit off the beaten path from the standard options near the theme parks, but it's well worth going a bit out of your way for a meal. I went here with my wife after a couple days of craziness with the Mouse and it provided us a nice relaxing place to hit up before we started the long drive home. The food is all fresh and the prices are quite reasonable. I highly recommend giving the banana nut pancake and turkey patty a try! read more

I was giving a presentation at a conference and wanted to be sure I had a great breakfast beforehand. I turned to trusty Yelp to help me find a spot that would do the trick and that's how we ended up at First Watch. It's a bit difficult to find as first as it's located in a strip mall but once you're there, parking is easy and we didn't experience a wait to be seated (weekday). There's definitely something for everyone on their extensive menu ranging from your traditional eggs and the works to pancakes, waffles, to a healthy food section. I wanted something filling but also light so I selected the fresh fruit crepes which came with the muffin of the day. Although service was a bit slow, the crepes were definitely worth it - the fruit was fresh, the crepes were light and airy, and they were topped with some fresh strawberry yogurt with a side of granola and the muffin of the day (brain I believe). Bottom line, I would definitely recommend coming here if you're in need of a breakfast spot in Orlando. Tip: After dining you need to take your check to the register and pay directly there. Tip can be left at the table or added to your credit card bill. read more

Second trip of the year to First Watch and it was better than before. The decor in this location is more rustic but the location size was definitely smaller. As a party of 5, we were seated quickly and had a server round to us asking about coffee and water a few minutes later. My wife and I both ordered the Tri-Athlete omelettes and Kale Tonics (gotta have those Kale Tonics). The omelettes were a decent size but not necessarily filling. If you're hungry, go for the pancakes or french toast. As a healthy option its a great dish. The fresh fruit on the side was quite juicy. Our server was friendly and quick and the overall ambience was nice, though it was much louder than their other locations, more than likely due to the smaller size of the room. read more

First timers, and it was delicious. Everything was super fresh and is now part of our brunch spots. Kale tonic was my favorite,super refreshing. read more

I only came here thanks to Yelp. We were visiting Orlando on a family trip, and had no idea where to eat. The first day we made the mistake of going to a Waffle House, which was a horrendous idea. Then, I went on Yelp to find good breakfast places, and First Watch popped up. It was AMAZING!!! We were joking about going back to Orlando (from CT) JUST to eat at this place again. I got the Tri-fecta, which was a wonderfully fluffy Belgian waffle with cinnamon sugar, 2 eggs, and either bacon or sausage. It was fantastic. I also had some of their blueberry pancakes which were loaded with blueberries. It also comes with this amazing blueberry compote, which is way better than any syrup you can find out there. (Oh right, the fact that their maple syrup comes warm is a great touch.) Great place for breakfast, brunch, or anywhere in between! read more

Our breakfast arrived very fast and the service was excellent. The slogan here is "yeah, it's fresh" and the food reflected it. My skillet hash was hot, light tasting and delicious. The wife had the turkey chive crepegg which I enjoyed but she felt the hollandaise lacked flavor. Excellent quality and value. read more

First Watch - Fast service and food. Pot of coffee yeah! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orlando, Florida

There is a reason this place has been picked as best breakfast joint in Orlando... No review will do this place justice. I have few days remaining in this city and I have already told my wife we will be having breakfast here every morning until it's time to leave Orlando. The food is excellent. The veggies are fresh and perfectly prepared. The eggs are made just the way you ordered them. The coffee tasted good. They actually have real creamer too. Best part I think is also that this place is healthy in my eyes. As much as I love food nothing beats a delicious healthy meal read more

Was just trying to find a place to go on the drive back to the airport to return home - glad we stopped here. The food is fresh, and the service is diner like - quick, responsive, no frills. I got the granola - had everything I wanted besides that it was missing honey. I wanted honey. read more

I honestly wish I could give this place zero stars! How was my experience pretty bad. I have eaten at many first watch locations in the Tampa area. I have been a loyal customer to First watch for 2 years. It was my first time dining at this location and I came in with my 2 little brothers. I wanted to take them out and treat them. The server was very kind here name was Angelis. She got the order right and the food got here pretty quickly. I work in the restaurant industry so I know how things go..... I was eating the potatoes and I found a small hair in the food. Honestly, it was fine I didn't even tell the server I just put it to the side because I know things happen. So I began to eat more and then I ended up pulling a long brown piece of hair from my mouth. I was disgusted. Even then, I was kind and informed the server of what had happened. She handled it very well and went to the front the show and inform the manager. There were two other servers upfront that heard what occurred and as they were walking back they made sure to walk past my table. The young African American female with braids and her hair in a pony tail made sure that when she passed by my table to be cute and make sure I heard her say "some people you can't please". How fucking rude. I'm sorry but why doesn't she eat the hair I ate. She should be fired. I will never come back here again. If you guys have cameras which I don't see you can look all of this up occurring around 10:15am. Thank you. Also I didn't see the manager once. read more

Terrible, terrible wait. Every time I come to Orlando I always attempt to get breakfast here but the staff always lies about the wait and ultimately my family and I give up after more than an hour of waisted time. Eat somewhere else unless you have nothing better to do. read more

My group of friends and I were told 30min for the wait list. It took literally over an hour while overs could easily be seen walking in and being seated. All they needed to say is that it will be an hour wait and we wouldn't have even gave them a second thought. read more

Good stuff - Great pancakes - and healthy eats too. Definately the best of the breakfasts in this area of the O.

Best breakfast restaurant I've ever had, hands down. Open a First Watch restaurant in California, PLEASE!!! Everything on the menu is delicious, from the pancakes, to the skillet, to the eggs benedict, perfectly amazing. I really don't know how to describe this place, it's that good. And the prices are actually not bad at all! I'm gonna be craving this place BADLY everytime I think of breakfast. Denny's? IHOP? YIKES! read more

I have been to this location quite a few times, and every time is a different experience with the staff, but the food is always good. --The food is a healthy approach to breakfast and lunch, and I really enjoy their options. The pancakes, waffles and omelets are delicious.. I have tried them all. There are way healthier choices though, and also some creative options that have latin flare. My favorite is the eggs benedict with hollandaise infused with dill. --Alot of the menu is a la carte for things like eggs and bacon, so things can get expensive for a full meal. The menu, in general, is expensive for breakfast, but average in Orlando. that eggs benedict is around 10+. The serivce is where this location could use some help. I have also been to the one in Tampa, so I can familiar with how other first watches are ran. Almost every waiter or waitress I have had here is unfriendly or unattentive. They have gotten our order wrong, never checked with our experience, not been greeted within 10 minutes. It's just been bad service for the price. I know we wonder in later in the day, normally around 1pm, so they are rounding the end of their shifts.. but come on. It's gotten to the point where we don't go anymore, seems pointless. But the food is sometimes worth the experience. read more

Wow! I'm surprised this place was a great find in Orlando. When I vacation up here it's real hard to find healthy choices or at least fresh tasting food.... But first watch has filled this void for me :)!! They have a variety of menu items that all looked delish..! They actually have a health conscious portion on there menu... I had the turkey spinach egg white wrap w/ mushrooms... Served with a small fruit bowl!!! It was amazing and so satisfying.. My boo had belgian waffles eggs and turkey. Also THE SERVICE was great I think candice took care of us... She was fast taking the order.. Refilling drinks.. And had us out of there quick... I never needed a thing ! I wish I could find more quick and nice service like this...! Oh ps try the iced green tea a+! read more

I'm giving a 5 star for amazing food and service, which in a tourist area like Orlando, is rare to find! Our server, Manuel, helped us before we even got to the restaurant. I called to confirm the location because we had drove by it a couple times. It is located next to the Rocco tacos. Overall, great experience. Thanks, First watch!! read more

I ordered Togo through uber eats and the food took an extra 15 minutes longer than quoted, came cold and completely over cooked. I received burnt bacon, a burnt pancake butter that was complete liquid. Food quality was completely unacceptable. I don't understand how the person who cooked the food and also the person who boxed up the food thought this food was okay to give to a customer. read more

Checked out this place about a week ago based on a recommendation and I'm devastated I haven't found it earlier. Not only am I a fan of supporting local but I love food that is fresh as well. Everyone we encountered during breakfast was so nice and we had wonderful service. I got the BLT eggs Benedict and my friend had some sort of lemon ricotta pancakes which were AMAZING! I can't wait to go back and bring more people to discover this place. read more

They have easy to make vegan options on the menu, not many but they're available. I had a spinach, mushroom and roast tomato sandwich. It was to die for! read more

Excellent spot for brunch. It was so good I went twice in a row. Staff is super friendly!!!

Excellent Menu!! Can avoid most allergens here. Except they only use Udi's for their gluten free bread option. This bread has eggs, yeast, and cane sugar. They need to find a better bread option for people with allergies. Also, I'm not totally sure their corn tortillas are 100% gluten and wheat free. read more

First off... I am not a huge breakfast fan. Brunch is a much better concept but this is a breakfast joint that toys with brunch but does not have it down. We had to wait ~20 minutes on a Saturday morning to get into First Watch. The place does not have much of an atmosphere, but its fine for a Florida strip mall. My eggs were cooked well.... the turkey sausage I had was tasty. My hot cocoa was good.... my blueberry pancake.... mmm I've had much better. It was fine and tasted good enough, but it was nothing to make one take notice. Would I stop in here again, sure. Would I run back... not really, but then again I am not a breakfast fan. read more

Loved: -pot of coffee for your table -really good coffee -pitcher of water for your table - healthy and delicious food options - fresh fruit was actually fresh -service was excellent! -take out service. Didn't love: -there's not one where I live!!! read more

The food here is really great and the restaurant is extremely popular so be prepared to wait for a table. Would have given it 5 stars except that during lunch time the server we had forgot about us. Breakfast service is always fantastic!!! read more

Good breakfast place with many healthy options. I wish they had this place back where I live because it'd be nice to have a break from cooking every once in a while and be cooked FOR (and we always feel sick after eating at the only other place we have: IHOP). :) On our first day I had the triathlete omelet (egg white omelet with tomatoes, mushroom, and chiles served with salsa and fresh fruit, which was awesome... I subbed grits for the English muffin). Today I'm going for the pumpkin pancakes! Their chocolate chip pancakes were delicious and fluffalicious (I had some of my daughter's as it was way too big for her) so I'm hoping they'll add chocolate chips to my pumpkin pancakes and then I'll be in breakfast nirvana!! read more

When first entering it was pretty empty, but I'm sure most people aren't willing to wake so early for breakfast now days. Again a lot of business people coming in. Mostly elders as well. It's pretty mellow no loud music playing. I was approached quickly by a seemingly shy, but friendly waiter. He was well mannered and patient. He offered coffee and I agreed. He brought a big pot and I ended up only drinking one mug. He poured in the coffee for me and also brought packets of half and half along with french vanilla and hazelnut. It was served fresh and hot. I ordered the "Healthy Turkey: Egg white omelet with house-roasted onions, tomatoes, spinach and feta. Served with a dry English muffin." according to their menu. It was definitely something different. It was good but I didn't care for the English muffin, but it's not really my preference anyway and I didn't request substitution. The less questions, the less complicated for them and I think it's always best to try something new. The omelette came with three large Sliced tomatoes too. It was good, but not super tasty. It's a healthy breakfast so, can't expect too much of it. I would come back again because I kind of want to make some kind of effort to eat a bit healthy. read more

Always love coming to First Watch. i i make it a point to come to this restaurant as they aren't located (don't know why) in my hometown of Miami. Tried the greek yogurt with granola and the turkey omelette. Both delicious. Really good coffee too. Go before peak hours...you're almost guaranteed a wait. read more

FirstWatch was AMAZING! We arrived just in time before the morning rush. Our service was great and the food was brought out quickly. The portions were perfect for 1 person. The orange juice is freshly squeezed and delicious. I ordered the breakfast tacos and couldn't be happier. Everything was very fresh. To end a great breakfast I shared a chocolate chip pancake with my girl friends. read more
