Kinda sad because I was really excited to try this place when I came to Orlando. The silverware was dirty. The cups were dirty. The coffee mugs smelled like eggs and the "sweet tea" wasnt sweet. Wouldn't recommend. Sorry read more

Great food and awesome staff! Alyssa was our server and she couldn't have been nicer. Our toddler was being super fussy and she went above and beyond to help keep him entertained. read more

Everything was mediocre. Nothing stood out as a WOW factor. There was a wait when we walked in, and it was rather frustrating because there were empty tables all over the restaurant, but the bus boy had not gotten to them yet. The wait time could have been significantly reduced if someone was on top of getting the dirty tables cleared out. After we were sat we ordered. Food took quite some time to come out. We didn't order anything fancy or time consuming- just an order of waffles and a breakfast plate they had with eggs, bacon and two pancakes. The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't the best meal I've had either. Would have given it 4 stars if service and staff were friendlier and more attentive. read more

This is a great location and always very busy. I have only been here once and my server was awesome. The food was delicious and fairly priced. They have been sending out coupons for the last few weeks for a buy one get one free entrée so if you get it in the mail, don't throw it out! The manager says if they continue to get good response with the coupons, that they will continue to mail them out. The energy bowl would be my favorite for breakfast and although they discontinued the fruit crepes with muffin meal, they will still make it for you if you request it. My mom had some kind of avocado and arugula sandwich that I tried a bite of and wow it was awesome. I have been to several locations of this restaurant and I really cannot recall a time where I have had negative experience or meal. They seem to always be busy from open to close. read more

Met up with a friend for lunch. Warning: parking can be a nightmare since the lot is shared with Fresh Market and other establishment during lunch rush hour. Seating was quick and I used my freebie birthday coupon. Waitstaff was attentive. Had the crab Benedict and morning meditation tonic (a bit sweet for my taste). Food came out in a timely manner. read more

Alyssa was amazing! We ate out on the patio today arrived at about 2pm and the service we experienced might have as well been at a Michelin rated restaurant. Never did we have to ask for a refill never did we need to ask for anything. She was one step ahead of it and could easily be a manager. We will be going back to First Watch again and will be requesting her! read more

I usually don't like going to chain restaurants but First Watch is one of my favorite brunch places in Orlando. I usually get the Trifecta and add the million dollar bacon. Literally this is the best thing I've ever had! The staff at this location is very friendly and knowledgeable. I also like that your able to reserve a spot in line on the app and can do that while you're at home so you don't have to wait at the physical location. This was helpful pre COVID and restaurants were packed read more

I love First Watch, it's one of my favorite breakfast/brunch spots. I have never had a bad experience or service there. However, my last visit this past Sunday I was disappointed with my choice of the cornbread carnitas bowl (seasonal item). The bottom of the bowl was watery from the beans, I assume. Either way the entire bowl was ruined and flavorless, despite all of the individual ingredients. I am still a fan of first watch, although this last visit wasn't a hit. read more

Probably my number 1 favorite breakfast place in Orlando. I love how there are so many healthy options. Avocado toast with an over easy egg, basic but very flavorful and filling. I tried the egg sandwich (can't remember the name) and it was fantastic as well. The wait can get a little long but you can check in ahead of time. read more

My FAVORITE breakfast spot. My uncle has worked for this company for many, many years so I have been coming here for a very long time. I was so excited when this location opened because there were no other close locations in this area. When you walk into a First Watch location, you feel like you're on vacation. Always so bright, clean and cheerful. When you walk in they always have a little searing area with complimentary coffee and newspapers in case you have to wait for a table. Upon sitting you are always offered coffee which I grab every single time and it's delicious. I can say with honesty that I've never eaten something here that I didn't like. From breakfast to lunch options, everything is delicious. My favorites include the BLT Benedict and the Roast Beef & Havarti sandwich. I also must mention their pancakes. They're huge! I can only eat one. What I love so much about First Watch is that they have such a friendly environment. I know for a fact that customer satisfaction is really important to their company. You will absolutely see and speak to a manager during your time there at some point and they always want to make sure you're happy. A vacation style environment, friendly staff and AMAZING food. What's not to love! read more

This is a new location and built fresh and new in Mills Park. Now, disclaimer, I am not much of a breakfast person so maybe I am not the expert when reviewing spots dedicated to this meal. But, if I had to hit up a breakfast spot, this is a very good one. Their way of life here is - everything is made to order, and freshness is never compromised. We don't use heat lamps or deep fryers -- we use only the finest ingredients possible for the freshest taste around. - Super respectable! I checked out this location for a morning meeting on a weekday so we were immediately sat and our service was lovely. My dining partner had some strict dietary needs and they happily did abide. Much appreciated. I went with the Fresh Fruit Crepes - Two thin, sweet crepes wrapped around fresh fruit, topped with low-fat organic strawberry yogurt and powdered cinnamon sugar. Served with a fresh baked muffin of the day and a side of our house made granola. They were HUGE! Chock full of fresh fruit yet so light. It was a nice balance. I thought the muffin was somewhat overkill and I didn't even touch it. I should have asked to not even have that if I knew how large the crepes were. I threw the granola on top of the crepes, very good! Now, like I said, not a huge breakfast fan so everything was good but nothing blew me away. Also, we didn't have to fight the weekend crowds that a lot of people are mentioning either. Overall, we had great service though and I always appreciate that! read more

What a sweet spot for a fresh & healthy bite to eat! I had the breakfast wrap and it was good, but as a foodie and a chef, I can always spot where improvements are needed. This chef was distracted or new. The egg was overcooked, bust still very edible and it wasn't in a "wrap" form. It was just rolled up with the ends open so everything falls out. I really enjoyed the grapefruit juice and our host was sweet & wonderful! My friend got the oatmeal and that looked amazing! Fresh berries and brown sugar...YUM! read more

One of First Watch's newer locations located at the booming Mills 50 District. This is one of my favorite locations due to the bounty of natural light and friendly wait staff. Enjoy the variety that is First Watch's menu. In the mood for waffles? Trifecta. Looking for more healthy options? You are covered too. Often trade out the sides for broccoli. Their portions are often on the lighter side in contrast to their direct competition, which can be a nice contrast for a lighter meal. Their service is attentive from the moment you sit. However, once the food arrives, the check is close to follow. I would not mind this if it meant the service continued. Just hate being mid meal with an empty glass and forced to flag down a random server. Having frequented this location since it opened, it is great to see their wait staff turnover is relatively low. Seeing the same faces at a local brunch spot is refreshing. Bottomline, recommend this location for a casual brunch and will certainly be returning. read more

I had breakfast for $15, however, the one pancake was lukewarm. The sausage link was lukewarm and the two eggs over easy was over cooked. I have never been so disappointed in breakfast. Breakfast is the easiest thing to cook. I've never been disappointed with KeKe's! KeKe's is always good. read more

What a complete turnaround of service on our most recent experience. Like night and day. My husband and I decided to come back even after our disappointing visit. I will chalk up our last experience to an off day because this visit is what we are used to and expect. Carly was pretty amazing-- friendly and sincere and never overbearing. She was also quick to take my order since I was on a time crunch. Food came out super quick and was delicious as always. I had the cranberry nut oatmeal and also decided on the Belgian waffle which comes with an amaaaazing mixed berry compote! I highly recommend! I'm glad we didn't give up on this location as it's a fairly convenient location in between work and home. Hope we continue to receive this kind of service on our future visits whether it be early morning or early afternoon! read more

I love First Watch's new healthy menu options. There's so many different options for healthier choices like: Like egg white omelets, protein pancakes, chia seed coconut milk pudding, etc. Their Kale Tonic juice is one of my favorite things to order there. I'm really impressed with this chain Restaurant. read more

Love the look and the feel of this place. I have only been here once but I will definitely be coming back! I had the avocado toast and it was so good! Love the uniqueness in the way the restaurant is set up. Helps you stay on track with being healthy and not being bored with your foods. read more

I had the traditional breakfast and I was overwhelmed at how delicious my entire meal tasted. The portions are very generous and you feel good afterwards. The whole wheat artisan toast is excellent. The oats and sunflower seeds in the crust are a nice touch. I had the cage free eggs scrambled, breakfast potatoes and sausage links. All were prepared perfectly. The presentation is beautiful. This is fine dining for brunch minus the formal attire. My meal was worth every penny for the high quality ingredients and phenomenal flavor. read more

Probably the best hash I've ever had. You gotta try the Truffle Mushroom Hash. It tasted like I was eating at a fine dining restaurant, no kidding lol read more

The breakfast at this place was amazing. Everything is so fresh and they have great healthy options. So much more than a diner! I had the Elevated Egg Sandwich which was the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. I was a little hesitant with what it said was on it, but the combination was amazing, so glad I got it as is. The bacon was perfectly cooked and the potatoes were delicious as well. My husband got the Chickichanga which I tried and that was also amazing and full of flavor. I also like that they have flavor creamers for the coffee. The service was definitely slow but nice. Wish I lived in the area, I would be there all the time! read more

First Watch - Elevated Egg Sandwich. Amazing. - Cafes Near Me - Orlando, Florida

First Watch is one of my favorite breakfast options. Yes, it is a chain and no, they don't serve alcohol, but keep listening. Many of the "open early" breakfast places (I'm not talking 11am brunch) are more diner-style with heavy and greasy food options. First Watch is different, and dare I say better. The menu is full of fresh, healthy items which are varied and customizable. Standard Trifecta with eggs, meat, and potatoes, energy bows with granola fruit and Greek yogurt, hash options with potatoes, veggies, eggs, fluffy pancakes, waffles, French toast, quinoa power bowls, there is truly something for everyone. First Watch starts by bringing the table a pot of smooth, hot coffee and they leave the pot on the table. Refill whenever you want, however much you want. Choose from a variety of options on the menu, customize where you'd like (I've never had them turn me down). Food is made to order and served quickly. Service is always good and they leave the check at the table when they drop the food so you can hang and chat after your meal or head out quickly. Their market hash is my favorite- full of veggies and potatoes with over easy eggs. They are also happy to sub out the cheese for avocados for dairy-free patrons. Their waffles and pancakes are delicious and they have the option of real maple syrup. They often have seasonal specials on the board which are always delicious. If you see one you like, try it before the specials rotate! The Mills location is a nice one with adequate seating inside and even some outdoor dining tables, which is perfect for Florida Fall days like today. read more

If you're looking for a great place for breakfast, then First Watch is a great choice. Here's why: I always order the Trifecta. It comes with two eggs, your choice of Pancake or Belgian waffle, and choice of bacon, Turkey sausage, or link sausage. I get the eggs white with cheddar on top, waffle, and the plentiful sausage. I add an extra sausage with a side of their thick sliced bacon. 4 slices. Egg whites are fluffy, tasty, and don't taste bland which is a feat for this type of food. Well done. Good sized portion too. The Belgian waffle has a great hint of vanilla with a sprinkling of powdered sugar. Just enough sugar to flavor and not overwhelm. Their syrup complements it well. Waffle is just crispy enough to hold up under lots of syrup and not get soggy or hold extreme crunchy. Excellent. The sausage has a great mild seasoning and is plump. Not dry but juicy. Thus is one of the main reasons I choose First Watch. The thick bacon has the right balance of meat and fat. I'm from Texas and the combination make it top rated. Coffee is a good balance between light and dark roasted. Plentiful International Delight brand creamer is provided on the table with choices of flavors. Nice touch. The service is friendly and attentive and knows the menu and options well. Any requests were handed quickly for me. Final Note: great menu selection.. Food cooked as I requested, great waffle experience, and coffee opens and closes the meal perfectly. Great service. Will be back read more

I drove by first watch and found this week was their grand opening. So I Came in after 1pm for breakfast. It was decently packed but not wait time. Got sat down right away. I Ordered the parm hash w avocado and light on the cheese. Got some good coffee. Food: 4/5 The parsm hash with avocado and poached eggs was pretty good. However, They served me a pretty burned toast and I was surprised the pass allowed it through. Everything was cooked very well. I do wish the portion was a bit bigger for $9 dish. The pot of coffee was very fresh and not watered down. Atmosphere: 5/5 Pretty big atmosphere and very modern. They have a giant board with their specials and drawings. Service: 4/5 She was very quick and polite. I received my food within 6 minutes of ordering. read more

First Watch is one of my favorite brunch places to go to in Orlando. If you come on a weekend, expect to have a little bit of a wait. It is so worth it to wait though! They have such a wide variety of breakfast/brunch foods. I really enjoy their seasonal menus the most. On my most recent visit, I ordered the Pumpkin Pancake Breakfast, and their Million Dollar Bacon. Both were absolutely INCREDIBLE. The pancake breakfast was such a good size, and came with eggs and protein. The bacon was so good that I am trying to figure out how to make it at home. I also ordered their Kale Tonic Fresh Juice and it was so delicious. The juice might have been my favorite part of the entire meal. I highly recommend coming here! read more

Bland, flavorless, burnt meal today. Except for salt....all the salt in the world was used on my food. Sadly we did take out so I can't even get my money back. Slow, confused service. If I could give this place a negative score I would. Please go somewhere else for your meal. We gave this dump 3 visits and they've proven the door should be permanently locked. read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. I always order the same thing, the Market Hash which is delicious. I do love the flavors of the cheese in the hash with some eggs on top. Now the thing is that my daughter doesn't eat much so she orders one pancake and a side of fruit. Here is where I am not all that happy. For ONE pancake and a side of fruit, we pay over $8. No juice, just water. I just find some of the items kind of pricey. The coffee is also $2.50, and I don't drink more than 3/4 of a cup so for me the add ons are just not worth coming back. read more

I'm not usually one for chain restaurants or brunches that don't include bloody marys but this place is bomb! Lots of healthy choices and ways to customize your sides. I recommend the Trifecta for breakfast or the Beefeater sandwich for lunch. Next time I want to try the power bowls with quinoa or the fruit crepes. Spot on place. There was a wait here on Sunday but that's basically unavoidable so no complaints about that. Friendly service and food in a reasonable amount of time. read more

This is our go-to brunch place. It's generally quick (although we do occasionally experience long waits for food although rare) and there are great healthy and non-healthy choices. When we do healthy, we split a Healthy Turkey (egg white omelet stuffed with smoked turkey, caramelized onions, tomatoes, spinach, and feta) subbing the side of sliced tomatoes for fruit and a Tri-Athlete (egg white omelet with mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and green chilies topped with salsa). The Power Wrap is kinda bland but the Fruit Crepes are amazing and I've recreated these at home. For non-healthy, I order the Turkey Chive Crepegg which isn't on the menu any longer but is eggs cooked thin like a crepe and stuffed with smoked turkey, onions, spinach, and topped with hollandaise and chives. The fact that they continue to make this for me makes me happy and is part of why we come back. The BF orders the Chickichanga which he loves (and I'm not sure what's in it except chorizo lol). Today he got the Parma Hash and loved it. So anyway there's nothing wrong with this place and the prices are good. You can be healthy and food usually comes out quick. I've had better brunches at more expensive places but it's still good enough for us! read more

My wife is gluten-free and they not only had a wide variety of options, but our waitress, Jaime, also offered to have the kitchen use Udi's GF bread to make French Toast and use that as a "base" to imitate any of their signature pancakes. My wife chose their "lemon ricotta" pancakes; they made GF French toast and topped it with the lemon curd and fresh strawberries, which was a nice flavorful experience compared to many other bland GF options at other places. They supply a whole pot of coffee for the table along with stevia and flavored creamers, including dairy-free Silk vanilla. Our food was prepared perfectly and plated well. The breakfast sausage link was delicious! They have 4 individual bathrooms (as opposed to stalls) with baby changing stations and bag holders. Our waitress was exceptional and the atmosphere was great. Had a long wait to get in because it was a holiday weekend but it was worth it! read more

First Watch is our go-to breakfast place! The menu is fresh and offers tons of options for healthy, low-cal, personalized, gluten-free, vegetarian, keto...and of course you can also get sweet treats like chocolate pancakes and maple bacon. They don't serve alcohol, so don't expect brunch mimosas here. The coffee is not the best, but they do offer some fresh juice options such as Kale Tonic or seasonal fresh squeeze concoctions. Tip: ask about substitutions if there's anything on the menu you want to tweak. I order avocado to replace toast. read more
