Took forever to get our food. And when we got are food there was a very small portion. I got shrimp and there was literally 5 pieces. There was also very bad service. Do not recommend. I had higher expectactions. read more

My favorite chain to get breakfast from. The food is always fresh and good. I hadn't been in a while so I stopped in today for a solo breakfast. I had the seasonal hash bowl. Service was quick and friendly. I like this location. It is convenient and has bold outdoor seating. read more

I am such a big fan of First Watch. It satisfies all of my brunch cravings. My go-to order is the trifecta breakfast. I get a delicious Belgian waffle with scrambled eggs and a sausage link. This combo is always perfect and hits the spot. However, they always have new specials that are delicious and I love to try them. The power bowls are awesome if you are looking for something savory. You have to splurge on the Million Dollar Bacon. If you didn't think bacon could get better, you were wrong. The maple syrup drips off and the pepper is the perfect amount of kick. The juices that they have are worth it too. On my last visit, I tried their seasonal drink, The Summer Blush. It was watermelon based and so refreshing. The kale tonic is available all year round and I love to order it. read more

Our daughter and I stopped in yesterday for brunch. We were seated immediately and after we finally ordered (they have so many different combinations of varied foods, styles that it is so hard to really make up your mind. Plus, they have the best drinks! We both ended up getting the TRIFECTA! One can never go wrong with the Trifecta and that includes either a Belgian waffle or an extremely pancake (blueberry, chocolate chip, etc.) with eggs however you like, with bacon or sausage. I'm vegetarian so I opted for potatoes. Everything was DELISH!!! We visited the Clermont, FL Location at the corner of Hancock Road and East Hwy 50. Yummmmmm! read more

5 Star Update! Have to update my initial review because, while it all still stands, a few additional dishes have pushed it into 5 star territory without a doubt! To re-iterate with my previous review-- Order the Million Dollar Bacon asap. It's legit one of my favorite treats in Orlando. You get 4 slices of hardwood smoked bacon baked with brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne and a maple syrup drizzle. It is sweet, smokey, spicy, and IRRESISTIBLE. I usually get my own order because I have no impulse control... Moving on to my favorite bowl: Pesto Chicken Quinoa Bowl. It's considered one of their protein bowls, with reason. It's filled with protein-packed quinoa mixed with kale, shredded carrots and house-roasted tomatoes topped with grilled all-natural lemon chicken breast, basil pesto sauce, feta crumbles and fresh herbs. This bowl hits the perfect balance of earthiness from the quinoa, creaminess from the basil pesto sauce and feta, and acidity from the lemon chicken breast (and the lemon wedges, which I highly suggest you give a big squeeze into your bowl). Part of me feels a bit shy to admit that I order this bad boy for delivery about twice a month (when I'm feeling like I need a pick-me-up and willing to pay for it). I'd honestly love to be able to replicate it at home, but doubt it would turn out as good (and who has the time for that?!). Anyway, my previous review still stands, but I felt compelled to change the star rating and highlight my favorite dish since this has become a staple for me. read more

Of note this review was meant for the Henderson location. If you're looking for a good brunch place keep looking, this isn't it. Either that or we must have visited on an off day because we were both very disappointed in our meals. I ordered smoked salmon eggs Benedict (sauce on the side) & didn't want the biscuit / bread so I requested that it come on a slice of tomato. The tomato was soggy (only 1 slice was good) and the poached egg was a catastrophe. I honestly can't believe they had the audacity to serve unapologetically at a restaurant- I would be embarrassed. I mean check the photo out for yourself. It was basically a yellow ball that was overcooked and missing the majority of the egg whites.I also asked for a side of avocado, yes there's an upcharge if you're wondering. Im on with the upcharge. What I'm not ok with is that it came half brown. I would have preferred they say they didn't have any fresh avocados. Evidently, they aren't big on quality here. As a side note, they have cold pressed OJ so that's a plus. What they don't have is lattes and such...just your typical American coffee. If you're looking for an underwhelming experience that will leave you hungry, stop by. read more

First sorry for the horrible pictures but I almost forgot to take pics ! Once the food came I went in! I think this place is amazing. I'm very pleased with the food, service and vibe. To Be honest I had an explosive amount of Silva rush to my savory glands, I was excited to have a variety amount of flavors on my plate. Everything taste great, my chickenchanga, biscuit n gravy and French toast was absolutely perfect. I recommend this place . read more

First watch is great for a brunch on the weekend. I usually order online and pick up to avoid the long wait times on the weekends. Ordering online is super quick and easy. I've also ordered through Postmates and they have always exceeded my expectations when it comes to the packaging and the correct order. I usually order the farmhouse hash which comes with potatoes, tomatoes, avocado, bacon, and eggs. I have never had a bad farmhouse hash here and always get a fresh meal. We recently ordered the elote hash bowl which was incredible. If you love Mexican food and elotes, you will love this bowl. It has the exact flavor of elote while still maintaining the breakfast touch. In terms of drinks, I love the morning meditation. The drinks are fresh and free of any superficial flavors. Overall, I enjoy visiting or ordering from this first watch. If you plan to eat here on the weekends, I recommend joining the line on their website or in Yelp. If you sign up online, you also get a free meal on your birthday :) read more

I decided to order something different, and so I picked the Elevated Egg Sandwich with a side of fruit. The egg sandwich was the perfect amount of savory and filling, and I really like that one of its toppings is mashed avocado. The server was very friendly and personable, and I enjoyed my time there with my family. read more

And to say that everything is fresh, I've been watching that pallet (full of food in this 80 degree weather) for over 20 minutes. I pray that you don't serve any of that food to customers. Perhaps consider hiring someone who can deliver fresh food and produce while you're open and just not drop things off by your door for when you open the doors to your establishment. read more

First Watch - Cafes Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Big let down. First, as you walk in, the front smell so bad. No air was circulating and it just Smell like wet dog and body odor. service was slow (maybe they should hire more staff?) and the food was decent at best. The tacos I had was so stale I couldn't even bite into it. The portion size at this location was a joke. I been to first watch plenty of times, but this location was a joke. the taco shells were big and the ingredients were barely filling it. I guess they were Trying to penny pinch?? The bacon was good but also cold. Couldn't even let the server know if I wanted too cause she was running around like her head was cut off. Hey management, maybe have an expo check the quality of the food going out and have another manager be present helping with the floor? Sad part is, the cashier checking me out up front ask how everything was and I told her but instead of grabbing a manager she just said "oh I'm sorry". As a restaurant manager, I train my staff to always let me know if a guest has any issue small or big so I can make things right before they leave my establishment! read more

decent menu, good presentation, fast service along with great ambience highly recommened.

I have been on a huge First Watch kick; I can't get enough!! I will often pick up breakfast on my way home from the gym or when I'm just being too lazy to cook in the morning. My go-to favorite is their avocado toast. I've had a lot of different avocado toasts but theirs is just amazing!! Their giant pancakes are also great and my boyfriend's fave. I also love their kale tonic. I am always a little skeptical the first time I try juices because I am picky with them, but theirs is so good and such a great alternative to my morning coffee! The atmosphere here is great. I haven't sat down to eat because it is always packed (for good reason), but the inside is so cute and has a great vibe. Picking up after you order on their website is super easy as well. My food is always right there waiting for me! Overall, I have never had a bad experience here and I highly recommend! read more

The food is consistently delicious and fresh. We like to go there after a shopping trip to Trader Joe's just across the street. read more

Avoid at all costs they have no experienced weight staff whatsoever. It is a calamity inside the kitchen and the front of house. Upon being seated I was immediately asked if I knew what I wanted for my entire order. I apologized and said no I will take a coffee for now and have a look at the menu. The waitress then did not reappear for another 15. Upon placing my order, which was regular eggs, Benedict it took almost 20 minutes for it to come out of the kitchen. It was absolutely ice cold. My original waitress did not stop by the table again even after the food was dropped off by another employee. I had to then flag down a third waitress to explain my food. Sitting and staring at my hands for another five minutes I decided to get up and pay for my meal. Fortunately, the hostess had the hindsight to allow me to leave without paying for anything which I greatly appreciate as I wasted 40 minutes of my morning and have not eaten breakfast yet. Also, the traditional eggs Benedict had nothing about it that was traditional other than cold hollandaise sauce. It's served on a ciabatta bun rather than an English muffin. There's tomato tomato on it and it's sliced deli ham meat, rather than peal bacon, or a nice round of ham. first watched has turned into ha ha gotcha once and people probably never go again. read more

First Watch is a great restaurant to go to if you want food that tastes fresh for breakfast. My favorite dish was the ricotta lemon pancakes. They were fluffy, fresh and hot as they came out. You could taste the lemon and ricotta with every bite. The strawberries on top were an added plus and made these pancakes a 10/10. I also really enjoyed the skillet hash- farm house. The hash browns were flavorful, crispy and well cooked. I loved the avocado and eggs as well as the toast combo. The drink sealed the deal for me. I enjoyed the refreshing morning meditation fresh juice and could really taste the ginger, lemon, orange, turmeric, agave nectar and beets with every gulp ! The purple haze was also a really good drink but on the sweeter side. That's more my partners preference. I'll definitely be coming back to first watch ! read more

So I hope management reads these. I do like the restaurant and hope that management retrains the kitchen staff. I ordered the Trifecta with poached eggs medium well, not runny, cooked at 3 mins, was what I told the waitress. Stressed to her not runny. So they came out runny and un cooked. This has happened several other times. So I blame management first, the chef, and the waitress last for not checking the order before bringing it to me. I like the restaurant and will continue going but when a customer stresses and repeats the order with instructions please take note. Photos are before and after shots. read more

The atmosphere was pleasant , service not so Great. josheph had no personality. had to ask for water. creamers and honey. he visited our table 3 times. drinks, dropped off food and check! I ask for pork sausage. I got chicken instead. my toast was not Toasted. I dipped my bread in my eggs. maybe if Joesph would stopped by and ask how our meal was he might've been able to toast my bread and correct the breakfast meat I ask for. or maybe a manager could've been present and walking around and touching tables to assure everything was going well. 2 thumbs down. ! read more

Really enjoying the fall menu. I had the wild mushroom frittata, so good with the goat cheese and arugula! Also tasted the Heritage pork chop, the pumpkin pancakes and the farmhouse skillet. All were delicious! Fruit was fresh and tasty. Delighted that they had gluten free options for granddaughter who needs it. Coffee was, as always, fabulous, as was the Morning Meditation! Our server Amy was friendly and knowledgeable. Great Sunday brunch! read more

First Watch - Wild mushroom frittata! - Cafes Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This location has been our go to breakfast place for 5+ years and it has been consistently a pleasure. Something has changed, the last two visits have mediocre. I ordered the skillet hash, asked for the potatoes well done, everything was burnt including the mushrooms, squash, onions and the goat cheese was missing. Yesterday I ordered a veg omelette and the mixed greens were not fresh, smelled and tasted musty. The omelette was just OK. On the positive note, my husband's choc chip pancakes was large and tasty. read more

This place is cute as a button. We tried it for the first time on a busy Saturday morning and were able to get right in. The dining room is bright and open, plus they've got an outdoor seating area that's dog-friendly (bonus points). We started off with the Avocado Toast - it was on point and made a perfect appetizer to split between 2 people. I ordered the Biscuits & Gravy - they were just okay. I ordered my eggs over medium but they were prepared over easy. The potatoes were bland. The waitress barely checked on us but it was a busy Saturday morning so I'll cut her a little slack there. Overall the experience was mediocre. read more

My sons and I came here as we continue to eat our way through Thanksgiving break. They wanted to go out to breakfast and I've been wanting to try First Watch bc whenever I pass it there are always lines out the door. When we walked in we were promptly greeted by a hostess who showed us to our seats. The interior was light and bright, and everything looked pretty new. Our waitress greeted us with coffee in hand (bless her) and took our drink orders. For breakfast we had: a kids meal scrambled eggs with bacon and a fruit bowl and it was honestly gorgeous. So many times you get kids meals and they look like prison food. Not here. It was beautifully arranged which made my son very excited. a Belgian waffle: nothing too outstanding here, it was large and delicious. We opted to forgo the fancy bc it was for my other son and god forbid you put anything grown up on it. Trifecta: Belgian waffle, eggs, bacon. Simple but delicious and again beautifully arranged not just slapped on a plate like IHOP does. We also ordered their seasonal donut holes and those were amazing. Everything was fresh and delicious and I can understand why it's always busy here! read more

Went here for brunch. I love their menu. The food is very tasty and the staff is very accommodating. For instance, I order the eggs Florentine, but I didn't want the bread so they put it over greens for me. They also put the sauce on the side as well. The menu is laid out where you can know what is gluten free as well. They have great specials and their yelp wait in line feature is brilliant. You can put yourself on the waitlist without even being there. read more

My friend and I are visiting Orlando for Halloween Horror Nights and came to enjoy a brunch before. First, the actual restaurant is so nicely decorated and clean. Secondly the food is amazing! See photos! The Million Dollar Bacon is a revelation! Third and most importantly, the service was amazing. The hostess had a great demeanor and a friendly greeting. Ask for Travis, our server! He not only gave great recommendations, but, he was attentive and friendly. 100/10 stars for his service. Will be coming back and asking for him from now on whenever I'm in town. Thank you Travis and First Watch for a wonderful experience. read more

I like First Watch at all the locations I go to. Breakfast tacos are awesome, as is the Million Dollar Bacon. The downside on this morning was that the servers seemed to care less about taking our order, coming back to check on us, or bringing more coffee. Almost like they were bored to be at their job. Someone needs to look into better training and attitude here. Otherwise, food was great as usual. read more

10/10 !!! First watch never ceases to make me happy. I wish we had one in Long island New York so weekly I can indulge in their breakfast and juices. Every Florida visit I ensure to make a pitstop. I always try to get some thing off of their seasonal menu but one thing I will always order is there $1 million bacon. Usually I order myself a breakfast cocktail as well as a healthy juice to finish it off read more

They open at 7! Gee....we tried to enter earlier then realized they don't open until 7 am....went for breakfast with bunch of friends from Jazzercise after a 5:30am class. My pals had regular coffee but I was too hot and in the mood for their cold brew which was VERY good!! Our server was a very cheery woman named Carly who was very helpful with menu suggestions and great at getting our coffee quickly, too- she even snapped a group pic for my Yelp check-in. I like 1st Watch because they have a great eclectic assortment of breakfast selections and take pride in offering healthy options that actually taste delicious! I had a special toast with mozzarella and cherry tomatoes as well as some good scrambled eggs ( it came with basted eggs, but I can't imagine eating a basted egg). My friend had the Avocado toast which was very hearty and loaded with chunks of the fruit. It tasted good but was overwhelming the artisan bread toast upon which it was spread. I only gave 4 stars because the food was good, not outstanding. read more

The food was good, however, I didn't care for the--what came across--as rushing. My partner and I were browsing the menu because they have a great selection but the waitress continued to come back every minute to ask if we were ready to order. I'm not kidding when I say every minute--I timed it. Then, when we do order we sat there an HOUR before the "shareable"--which is an appetizer-- hit the table and it was cold. The food came 2 minutes after the appetizer. It wasn't the best experience to me. read more

This place sucks the second we came in we had to wait 45 minutes just to be seated. Once we got seated we waited another 20 minutes just for the waiter. When she finally came we waited like 15 minutes for her to bring us our drinks. When she finally took our order we had to wait MORE THEN 1 HOUR FOR OUR FOOD. What was even funnier was that the table next to us came after we did and got their food ALOT FASTER THEN WE DID. The waiter may have been nice but the service was horrible. One more thing that we noticed that was the table next to us was a white family while we were a Hispanic family so this place might be a little racist. Overall I dont recommend coming here the food was good but I definitely could have had better at a much cheaper place with better service. read more

Came here on our last day of vacation in Orlando. It was very busy when we arrived, but we got seated In a timely manner. They had so many options my wife and I wanted to try, so I'm sad we couldn't come back to try more items. The waitress Angie came by and left the coffee thermos on the table for us. She also recommended the egg, avocado, and cheese sandwich that my wife ordered. I chose eggs, bacon, toast with home made jam, potatoes, and a blueberry pancake. And my nephew got the Belgian waffle, with eggs, and bacon. Also they have a nice juice bar right inside with indoor or outdoor seating. We overall had an awesome experience here and would come again next time we come to the Orlando area. read more

I go to first watch regularly - specifically the new one in Winter Park. It is a reliable breakfast /lunch spot in terms of menu, love the upbeat atmosphere and love to try the new health drinks they have. Had a mimosa there only once - it was only ok - but it's not what i go to first watch for - i stick w the kale tonic and morning sunrise. My breakfast choices are pretty standard: the skillet is great, and i regularly get the trifecta or French toast. Service is pretty reliable in terms of time to wait and attentiveness. Use the website to reserve ahead and wait less time. If it gets too busy, service timeliness relative to your order can get a bit off track, but they've always been quick to rectify mistakes. For a standard breakfast spot you can't miss w First Watch. read more

Always delicious! Great service. Great atmosphere! Food is generous in size and always hot and made to order. Yum yum yum!

Been here so many times and I love it!! Consistency with service, staff, and food. I usually order the kale tonic, coffee, eggs, potatoes, and toast. The meal comes with ham and they always honor my request of putting that on a different plate so it's not touching my food so my husband can eat it. The food always taste great. The eggs are scrambled nicely, not dry and not too wet. The toast is a nice non flimsy multigrain bread with butter and I love it too, especially dipped in their awesome coffee! We usually go early around 7am and there's never a line. Been there around 10am once and had to wait in line and it wasnt a long wait either. I have yet to experience the outside yet. It's in a breezeway with umbrellas and looks real inviting. What I love about the service is that they are professional and always nice. This chain knows what they're doing! read more
