    If you're craving a nice breakfast restaurant with just the perfect portions, First Watch is your place to go. But, depending on the day and time you go, just be prepared to wait a little bit. It will be worth it. We haven't been in a little while and there have been a few changes to the menu, but still delicious as always. We like to order the skillets but now they are called "hash" on the menu. Two eggs cooked the way you want over your protein or veggies of choice (only 2 selections now) and hash brown potatoes. Then don't forget the toast! Service can be a little slow but servers are working as fast as they can, and with a smile. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because of the price.

    We had an excellent experience at this first watch location recently. Of course, we went on the busiest day a Sunday just after 12 noon. As you can imagine, it was exceedingly busy; however, the team at this location knows how to operate with calmness and friendliness, even under such busy conditions. I had the double bacon, Parmesan hash (seasonal item) and it was quite tasty and filling. My partners had the Belgian waffles and an egg omelette. I also had the tangerine dream, another seasonal item. Overall a good experience..

    Service was amazing! We've been to several First Watch locations and this was the best yet! Food was cooked to perfection and the atmosphere is always casual and relaxing. Highly recommend the breakfast! I always get The Tradiitonal and hubby gets the Avocado Toast w/ over easy eggs.

    I am not someone who usually eats at a chain restaurant when traveling but First Watch is a quality restaurant that certainly never disappoints for breakfast or brunch no matter where you are. This time I got it to go and wanted to shout out how thoughtful the staff was to ensure I had an enjoyable service with my food even though I was not present. I got the biscuit with turkey sausage gravy, which is already a bonus point because most places do not offer non-pork options for a dish like this. You can see with my photo that took the time to put the gravy in a separate container so it didn't get all messy and over the other food items of the meal (eggs and breakfast potatoes). I also ordered a side of buttered grits. It was a bigger side than I anticipated so I was able to get two breakfast meals out of this order! Highly recommend eating here (to go or on site).

    Very clean, organized and welcoming! Shout out to NOAH , our service extraordinaire. He was professional, very kind and knowledgeable. A great willingness to help in any way he could, answered our questions concerning the menu. Quickly brought our drinks to the table and then took our breakfast order. Noah didn't miss a beat. I was very impressed!! The food was delicious all around. Our group of 8 was well taken care of, and we hope Noah felt our love back. Great experience

    SoCal Breakfast Hash
    Greg H.

    It's been a while since I've been to a First Watch restaurant. This restaurant chain never ceases to amaze me with their high quality and consistency. It's almost unfair to label it as just another chain restaurant the same way I would categorize Seasons 52 or McCormick & Schmick's. I tried their new Pineapple Express which was out of this world. They also have boozy brunch cocktails like mimosas for people who need an "eye opener" (you know who you are!). The SoCal Breakfast Hash is something incredible. Think of a breakfast skillet fajita hybrid. It was more than enough for 2 meals which is great for the road. If you've never tried First Watch you are missing out on something epic. They even sell their own cookbook next to the entrance in case you want to try to recreate their stellar menu. 5 stars all the way throughout including service and ambiance.

    We decided to pick up breakfast while on vacation and eat at the resort.I over love the morning meditation even in a to go cup it's beautiful and taste good.you can go wrong with the Farmhouse Hash.I love eggs and avocados so it's a win win.

    Top tier breakfast brunch food in Orlando and i just realized it's a chain restaurant but the one i went to is perfection! Chickenchanga and the Floridian Pancakes were absolutely sensational full of wonderful flavors and everything tasted REAL farm raised and nothing chemically made! i loved it so much and didn't feel gross afterwards i felt incredible that's how you know that there is quality in the food the service was so kind and treated us with the nicest respect and the ambiance was loud but it's because everyone is enjoying company and the food! 10/10 A++ go here go now

    We had a lovely brunch here again and as always the service and the food were great. I enjoy the freshly made drinks each visit. I tried their new seasonal breakfast dish which included potatoes & parmesan cheese. Delicious, especially with the egg on top.

    I've been to several First Watch locations in Central Florida. This is their newest location. It is located in the shopping plaza on Kirkman and I-Drive. The place was packed, as expected. The food and service were on par with other locations I've visited. I could tell that they were a bit short staffed. Our server (bless her heart) was super busy, running all over the place. But her service and attention was still top notch. This will be my favorite location from now on, since it is much closer to my residence. I had the super delicious Shrimp and Grits, which is a seasonal offering that I hope stays permanent. It is my favorite dish there. My Son had the Hacienda Hash and said it was superb. We also shared and order of Biscuits and Gravy (you gotta have this) and an order of Million Dollar Bacon (will probably not get the bacon again. It is good, but too expensive for 4 slices of bacon) We devoured everything. No leftovers. That's how good everything was. By the way, if you sign up for their email rewards program, you'll get a free entree on your birthday, Heck yeah. I just got hungry as I was typing this!

    Breakfast sandwich
    Guido L.

    One of the best breakfast places I've been to. Quite possibly the best toast I have ever had. Also the million dollar bacon was fantastic and tasted better than it looks, and it looks pretty good. Seemed a little pricey. I'm not sure farm raised eggs taste any better the eggs in cage. At least we know what the caged chickens are eating. Anyway the omelette was delicious. Coffee was good. My coworker had a breakfast sandwich. He cleaned his plate. Nothing was left. There was lots of seating. It's quite a big place. It's a little loud and there's not a lot of privacy. I would go back here in a heartbeat. Service was just fine.

    Biscuits and Turkey Sausage Gravy
    Kevin G.

    Coming from Texas I had never been to a First Watch but saw there was several in the area. The menu had all the basics and everything sounded delicious. It's clear they work with local goods and have a lot of healthy options. We didn't quite go that route, but ordered the Biscuits and Turkey Sausage Gravy (extremely flavorful) and the Chickichanga. Both were delicious and super large portions for the price. We arrived slightly before 9 where there wasn't a crowd quite yet but showed up quickly after we were seated. The only reason for the lost star was that we waited about 10 minutes before we had to flag down a waiter to get started. Must've got lost in the mix, but it made the wait for food and additional service a little slower than expected. Overall great experience and I'm sure our initial inattentiveness was a one off.

While the interior is more modern than the bakeries I grew up visiting in Flushing, New York, the food itself reminded me of home. I picked up a hot dog bun and a custard egg tart from the bakery, then ordered the Hong Kong sticky rice and lychee mango fruit tea with boba (50% sugar, 50% ice). These are some of my favorite comfort foods, and while the prices were a bit higher than what I'm used to back home, I was pleasantly surprised by every item I tried. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. The hot dog bun was soft, and the egg tart had a flaky crust with smooth custard. The sticky rice, wrapped in a lotus leaf, was warm, comforting, and had the subtle savory flavor I love. The fruit tea was refreshing, with real pieces of lychee and mango mixed in. There was plenty of seating for my friend and me to sit, relax, and enjoy our treats. If you're looking for authentic Asian bakery favorites in Orlando, Bakery 1908 is worth checking out. It's the perfect spot for brunch, whether you're craving something sweet or savory or just want a refreshing drink. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm missing the flavors of home.

This time we stayed on I-Drive and found that they have a new location closer by in Lake Buena Vista, which we love even more than the first one. It's newer and way more spacious with a higher ceiling. The mural, the seatings and the greenery all help to create a very cozy and relaxed environment. It's busier too and harder to find a parking spot though. Their breads are so delicious, with so many varieties we always have a hard time deciding what to get, since we want them all! The swiss roll right by the entrance are delicious too! They also have cookies, and their crepe cakes are closest to Lady M than any other I've tried. You can tell that the crepe is really thin with rich layers of cream in between. It's an Asian bakery so the sweetness level is not as intense, and the bread dough is on the soft and pillowy side. Oh did I mention they also offer dimsum and a bunch of other things too. Yes, you can eat your breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea here. And probably still want more.

They are definitely at their best when they're fresh and straight out of the fryer, warm, light, fluffy, and coated with just the right amount of sweetness.

Just keep in mind that seating is limited, so it may not be the best place if you're looking to hang out for an extended period. The only area that could use some improvement is the customer service. The staff wasn't unfriendly, but they also weren't particularly warm or welcoming. A little more enthusiasm and friendliness would make the experience match how great the desserts are. Overall, the quality of the beignets easily earns this place five stars. I'll definitely be back, and my biggest recommendation is to enjoy them while they're fresh, they're absolutely worth it.

I had the Seco de pollo which was pretty good, but it would have been better with more onion salad, limon, aliño, and cilantro. The onions were very good. The menu said it came with potatoes, but it came with plantains and avocado, which was a plus. If we had just ordered the Seco de Pollo, water, and shared it, I would have rated it a 4. I ordered naranjilla juice, one of my favorites in Ecuador, but the frozen pulp brand used is one that has an off flavor and the drink was served more like an icee. Most brands of frozen mora are good, so that may be a better route if you decide to try the juice. The salchipapas were nothing like pictured. The fries were just frozen crinkle cut fries, which had a school cafeteria texture. There was no onion salad on top either. My daughter ate just a couple of bites. She ended up getting sick on the way home. The total was just over $45. Too overpriced for lunch with plastic cups. Replacing the canned soda displayed up front with Ecuadorian Coca Cola in glass, fiora vente, and other Ecuadorian sodas, having more Ecuadorian decor and even chonta wood tables, and Ecuadorian TV/music would add better ambiance than AI screen savers.

The delay is acceptable but it's something the lady at the counter could have set an expectation for as the orders were backed up, but regardless, the overall service was okay-ish. We had the veggie breakfast sandwich, the bacon-egg-and-cheese breakfast croissant sandwich, a medium mocha cappuccino, a medium cafe con leche as well as an order of pan de bono to go. The sandwiches were served pretty promptly and the portion sizes were pretty decent. The lady forgot our to go order for the pan de bono till we asked while waiting for our coffee. However, since the coffee arrived super late, we decided to have the pan de bono at the café instead of taking it to go simply to pass the time. Coffee was decent too but nothing exceptional. Overall, the place is okay but kinda pricey for the food and the service they provide. We paid upwards of $50 (including tip) for two breakfast sandwiches, two tiny breads and two medium sized coffees. May not be a viable option as a regular breakfast place for most people in this economy.

    First time here and we had a great experience! My mother-in-law was craving a Hispanic-style…read morebreakfast, and Moma's Cafe definitely delivered. It's a small hole-in-the-wall type of restaurant with a cozy atmosphere, and they can accommodate large groups, but keep in mind it's first come, first served, so we did have to find our own seats. Our group had 6 people, and once seated, everything went smoothly. We ordered the original avocado toast, huevos rancheros, 2 kids breakfast platters with chocolate milk, burritos, monte cristo, breakfast classic, a hot matcha latte, and orange juice. Everything came out hot and fresh, and everyone in our group enjoyed their meals. The customer service was on point the entire time, and the staff made us feel welcomed. Overall, we had a really good time and would definitely come back!
