    Everything omelette with sour cream & diced tomatoes, wheat toast & home fries. Perfect size meal to start the day.

    Our breakfast was Amazing, the service was top notch and the ambiance was very clean and comfortable. This is the place to go for breakfast!

    When I asked the blonde lady if the music would be this loud the entire time at 7:00am, she initially didn't hear me and I had to repeat myself. She responded by saying that they like to keep the music at this volume. Despite this, we decided to leave.But if you like extremely loud music this is your place to be.

    The food was delicious and the service was excellent! The feeling of the restaurant was very upbeat!

    Haven't had brunch at First Watch in a while and this location was really good. Large parking lot and no wait. The atmosphere has a little something to be desired with all the traffic and the location isn't perfect when you're on the frontage road between two busy streets, but I also understand they can only do so much. Quibell, our server was fantastic. Super smiley and puts the customer first. I hope they're paying her well. I loved my French toast and I'm not a French toast guy; my spouse was a little underwhelmed with their food / taste. Payment is super easy by using your smart phone to scan a QR code on your receipt.

    lemon ricotta pancakes

    First Watch is always on my to do list when I visit AZ and this visit was wonderful like the rest. The lemon ricotta pancakes had me, a certified pancake hater, eating half the plate before I realized what was going on. The blueberry lemon cornbread was to DIE for and one of my favorite seasonal menu items. The kale tonic drink also hits the spot and charges me up for the day. Service was friendly as always and made me feel very welcome. Can't wait to visit again!

    Fresh juices!

    Ate here (East Ray location) with a group of friends early in the morning on a Sunday and everything was wonderful. Our server -Vanessa- was incredible, so thoughtful and on top of it. Everything was fresh and flavorful and a few small customization requests were met with cheerful enthusiasm. Can't wait to eat here again.

    The food and service were great. Our waitress Elaine was great! Definitely try the bacon and potatoes. So good

    Pumpkin donut holes
    Michael H.

    Definitely not your generic breakfast spot, and I mean that as a compliment. Ham and Gruyère cheese omelette was amazing. Pumpkin donut holes (seasonal) were exceptional. The service awesome!

    A cute little breakfast joint hidden on the outskirts of the freeway. I just got the Belgium waffle and it was good. Nothing special or spectacular but fair for it to stand out amongst other breakfast restaurants Belgium waffles. Not really fulfilling - so if I ever go to a first watch again I would order something different. Service was a little slow for a Sunday early morning before the brunch rush.

    Hey, what's your favorite brunch item? I want to try this place.

    Parma hash

    Will you guys be airing the Preakness or the derby this year? And would it be OK environment to bring a small child three years old to watch with us?

    My guess is no since they have no TV's, hope that helps.

I ordered a 12 oz salted caramel latte. To say I was unimpressed would be an understatement. The best way I can describe my first sip is depressing. I wasn't transported to my happy place like Happy Gilmore. Instead, I was greeted by what tasted like a cup of warm milk. There was no salted caramel flavor. There was no espresso flavor. Just milk and disappointment. I have my own espresso machine at home, but since I had an appointment around the corner, I decided to give this place a try. Unfortunately, the customer service wasn't much better than the latte. I wasn't greeted with a smile, thanked for my business, or told to have a nice day. The customer service was drier than the Arizona heat. For almost $6, I expected more than a cup of milk. I expected a latte that actually tasted like espresso and salted caramel. Maybe I'm the odd one out for expecting flavor when I order flavored coffee, but I don't think that's asking too much. I am always the first to say that just because a place is packed doesn't mean you're going to like it. Would I have gone back and given them another chance instead of writing this review? Absolutely. Unfortunately, I was on a tight schedule and couldn't. I'll stick to the barista skills I learned while working at a coffee shop and continue driving past this place knowing I won't be stopping in again or recommending it to others.

I will start by saying the hours state they open at 8am on Saturday, but the actual time is 8:30. When we walked in, we immediately got warm, comfy vibes.

I ordered a dirty chai that was good, but my friend for the vanilla honey latte which was OUT OF THIS WORLD delicious! I will be getting that next time. Both were served in a pretty mug on a white saucer with gold trim. We then ordered our meals while we chatted and sipped our drinks. It didn't take too long before our meals arrived.

Starting from the outside, with a couple of tables out front, the place already had a chill vibe. Once we walked in, it felt very spacious. I loved the decor and the colors. We were seated at a bigger table for the four of us. At first, we thought the table might be a little too big, but it actually worked out perfectly because we could use the extra chairs for our purses and bags. Very thoughtful! My friends ordered regular lattes, and I got the Triple Berry Fusion. For food, we ordered the Omelette with Sausage, Saumon Fumé Toast, and the Monae Chicken Sandwich. The presentations were all so pretty, and everything tasted delicious. Our server was very nice. She let us take our time to chat and even became our photographer. At the end, we also got the chance to meet the owner, Monae. She was very kind, easygoing, and welcoming. The only thing that might be an issue is if we bring our husbands or guy friends with us next time. The portions are a little on the smaller side, so they might still be hungry afterward. We'll definitely come back to try something different next time.

My vanilla latte was fresh, smooth, and really well made. You can tell they take their coffee seriously without taking themselves too seriously. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which only added to the experience. My only complaint is the hours. They're open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, except on Sunday 8-2.which can make it a little difficult to visit. I'd love to see open earlier  so more people could enjoy the space and great coffee. We did get the right before 7 and the line behind us was about 10 people. So it's definitely a hit with their customers. That said, this feels like one of those neighborhood spots you'll find yourself coming back to again and again. Looking forward to my next visit!

Despite the drink being disappointing, I still enjoyed the atmosphere and overall vibe of the cafe. I've heard great things about their coffee from others, so I'd be willing to return and give the cafe another try in hopes of a better experience next time. Large Strawberry Matcha Latte ~ $ 11.64
