This location wins the award for most improved customer service! I used to come here regularly when I lived nearby and honestly the last few times I have come, it has been perfect! The seasonal summer menu is delicious, the steak and egg hash was delicious and the little mini biscuits were so good and not too sweet.

Honey Chipotle Chicken Hash
Alycia B.

Featured on the fall menu -- and let me tell you, it was soooo good! Light, hearty, and full of flavor, this dish was the perfect balance of comfort and freshness. Every bite was seasoned beautifully, with just the right texture and warmth that makes you instantly think fall perfection. The presentation was stunning, the flavors were layered but not heavy, and it left me wanting more. You can really taste the care that went into it -- it's one of those dishes that makes you stop mid-bite just to appreciate how good it is. Definitely a seasonal favorite worth ordering before it's gone!

Salad breakfast spot that's a very accommodating for our kids. The boys were full of beans, but that didn't stop for the staff from being excellent. They were on point we're taking my kids orders first and making sure their food came out as soon as possible when I needed extra napkins for the syrup overload associated with an order of chocolate chip pancakes and waffles they did not skimp out. We were there in a weekend morning, so it was a little noisy, but not so much that we couldn't hear our own conversation.Overall, a friendly ambience, definitely welcoming. Also, the coffee there is pretty darn good.

Tangerine Dream

First watch has to be one of my favorite breakfast brunch locations. They have classic options, healthy options, and unique flavor creations that you will just want to revisit and try! I love that every location has an art piece dedicated to the area it's in. You can never go wrong with the million dollar bacon, it's a must for our table every visit! We tried their seasonal tangerine dream drink which was citrusy sweet and had a hint of ginger. We also tried their seasonal double bacon, Parmesan hash which felt like the perfect brunch meal , super delicious! I'm usually an iced coffee person but first watch has the best hot coffee and is the only place out order it, you can even take a cup to go! (Don't forget to ask if they have seasonal free stickers on your way out!)

Sunday brunch. Definitely need to pass on this place. This location missed the mark all across the board. We were craving French toast. Decided to drag my husband to try it. He was skeptic but I talked to so good about the MI location he actually believed me. Lol. Oops! The moment we walked in, hostess greeted us. Got our name and number and maybe we were seated in about 10 mins. Not even 10 mins actually. It was quick. Service was a little slow. They were busy. We understood. I got my large apple juice and water. I guess the waitress missed my husband saying he wanted coffee. And about 5 mins into our meal he realized that he didn't have his coffee I guess the waitress didn't realized he ordered it. But she brought it out immediately. Food came out in a timely manner. All was really good. However, the least pleasant dish we ordered as an extra was the French toast that he was craving. Peep the picture below. It was burnt on one side on both the toasts. He's a real trooper for eating one slice of the toast but couldn't muster down the other. It was "burnt, crispy, and bitter." Even with the syrup. When the waitress came around and asked how our food was, we said it wasn't good. Showed her the toast and she didn't really do anything, all she said was "oh, wow. Is there anything I can get you?" She didn't offer to get us a new order or see how she can make this right? So we left it at that. We didn't care for another one anyway as this ruined it for us. We got our check, got up and went to pay for it. The lady that was at the register asked how everything was. We said not good. And she asked what happened, I showed her the picture of the French toast and after many many many attempts of us saying "it's okay, we were more than happy to pay for the full bill," she didn't want us to. She wanted to make it right. She went and got us a comp card and even took the French toast off the bill. We were more than appreciative. But we were more than happy to pay for the full bill and understood because they were busy and our waitress was "new" we didn't want the hassle. She was probably the friendliest person there. Feel like this place missed the mark across the board. Got a bit of attitude and looks from the other employees when we said our meal wasn't good. Like they didn't believe us. But we didn't cause hell or catch attitude. If anything, they caught attitude. Plenty of parking but in this plaza. But it can get easily packed too.

This is one chain restaurant that has really never missed every time I have gone. I've gone to several locations now all over Florida and the food has always been decent and service quick. I really like the consistency!

The traditional breakfast - substitute with cheesy Bob's Red Mill Grits
Nancy P.

Just FYI: this location won't serve alcohol until after 0900. We arrived a little after 0815 and we were too early for mimosas. We were able to get a table before the Sunday rush. The server was nice but kinda forgetful. We asked 2 times I believe for water. I will say the servers didn't come around after we got our food. I was happy to get grits to my meal. The food was good. They haven't been able to get over medium eggs though. My eggs were more like over done. This place can get super busy during brunch time. I will say that they do keep this place clean and nice looking with all the traffic that comes here.

the breakfast here was tasty i got one of the specials and the iced coffee was good but very sweet. it was busy but we were served quickly but i didn't know who the server was because they switched so often.

Frittata and Two Multigrain Pancakes
Ben P.

30 minute wait but totally worth it. Frittata was 6/10 but granola banana pancakes were 10/10 yay!! One of the better first watches around.

A delight that makes your mouth water. The best dishes here. Come and try it. There is nothing more incredible than food that makes you happy.

Well, first let me say that my server Amy, she was very pleasant and attentive. She took my order and I got it fairly quickly and it was tasty, but as I'm sitting in the restaurant eating my food, you know how you can feel eyes staring at you yes I looked up and the little girl at the front by the register she's staring and then it was the manager staring at me on occasion and one of the other servers is like what why what do you think? Well first let me also say that I am an adult African-American woman of a certain age and I'm not used to the glaring of the eyes so that made me feel a little uncomfortable. I had to get out of there quickly and I also made sure that I gave Amy a very healthy Tip hefty tip. $$ not sure if I would go to that location again maybe they had a bad experience in the past with another person of color, but please don't take it out on all of us anyway that's my rant.

Definition of a poached egg
Holeigh H.

We were in the area and I had been to a different location that was actually pretty good so our group of 5 stopped into this location for late breakfast. My adult daughter loved the look of the double bacon parm hash. My 20 year old grandson also ordered poached eggs. Both plates arrived with runny whites. Daughter sent hers back and grandson didn't want to fuss so -he ate them. Second round of poached eggs were better but still not great. She grumbled and ate them anyway. Grandson got sick in their bathroom.. (couldn't have happened to a nicer bath.) Grandson spoke w manager and chef. Manager just apologized. He was fine the next day but that's not the point. They need to learn how to cook a poached egg or stop serving them.

The service was good, there was no wait. The waitress was very nice, and the food was good quality. It had the usual farm house vibes that are good for brunch with the girls. My food was fresh and reasonably priced, will be back!

The staff was so sweet and we got our drinks super quick. We can't wait to come back.

There is no inside seating but a good amount of outside seating, and there is a ramp from the parking lot to the seating area for those who need it. The parking lot is behind the building, and the entrance to the parking lot is to the left of the building.

They hold regular events that you can easily find on their socials, so be sure to follow them and check out what is on offer. My most recent visit was cat yoga, and it was such a great experience. They had 25 cats in the cafe at the time and while some were shy and more reserved, many of them were active, playful, and friendly. They adored our yoga mats, and immediately claimed them for themselves (as you can see from the pictures). The cat area is always clean and tidy, the cafe offers comfortable seating and free WIFI, and the overall vibe is open and welcoming.

We were so excited to finally visit this cat cafe, we booked 1 hours for 3 people for $45 and we were also planning on eating at the cafe as well. The attendant did tell us as we were checking in that recently some of the cats were adopted so there a lot of newer cats that were shy. We didn't see that as many cats as we were expecting and just could not get over the strong pungent smell. It was very very bad. Let me tell you BAD!!!! SMELL!!! . The attendant was very kind and understanding and immediately offered us a refund when we said we were sorry but can't do it , he said he understands some people are just sensitive to cat smells, this was not just cat smell. Never got to the food because the idea of eating was out of the question. 3 stars because I love the idea and I think there's lots of room for improvement and I love what they're doing for the cats. But for me, it's a no.
