Food was absolutely amazing! Went with the family this past Saturday and had the carrot cake pancakes (10/10). Everyone else ordered omelette and pancakes as well and couldn't have been happier with their choices. However I felt the need to knock off 3 stars because our service was absolutely atrocious. I'm not normally one to be too bothered by slow service (as I've worked in 3 different restaurants), however, this was some of the most inattentive and unpleasant service I've ever had eating out. After taking our order our server did not return until after we were halfway done with our meal (our food was brought to us by runners). The worst part of this is that we had run out of water before our food even arrived. After she finally checked on us to ask us about our food and we asked her for water it still took another 5 minutes before we got refills (this whole time we saw her walking around the restaurant and standing in the back). Overall I would recommend First Watch to others because I assume they will not receive the same service, however it was very disappointing for us. read more

Great place! Good fresh food and friendly service. Got the carnitas bowl from the summer menu on recommendation of the waiter and it was nice light and delicious. Will definitely be back. read more

First Watch - Carnitas bowl from their summer menu - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Went first to their neighbor which was closed for lunch. So, I entered in a disappointed mood. There was such a wide array on the menu it was hard to choose at first. I settled on the 1/2n1/2 ("Choose one from 2 of 3 columns - 1/2 sandwich, 1/2 salad, 1/2 soup"). I ordered 1/2 vegetarian sandwich, 1/2 avocado chicken salad and an a la carte 1/2 bowl of white bean and chicken soup. I was very pleased with my choice. There was the right amount of melted cheese in the portobello mushroom in the sandwich. The crispy salad with chicken,beans and corn was delicious. The soup was delicious. My only disappointment was the water, no ice. Unfortunately your local water leaves much to be desired. That's okay. I wound up ordering their Watermelon Wake-up. I highly recommend First Watch on Camelback. read more

Love it here! The staff is always friendly and they know exactly what we like! Thats a plus ! We enjoy the cofee and french vanilla creamer, wich is no charge for extra cream. Other breakfast places charged us in the past wich is annoying. read more

First Watch - Oatmeal was great - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

With my husband and son out of town, my daughter and I met a friend on Saturday for a girls' lunch... We decided to meet at this First Watch due to it's convenient location + the fact that at least one of us may be in gym clothes (ahem, that was me), and didn't want to deal with too much of a busy scene or a place that was all about seeing and being seen. Upon entering, it was clear that there wouldn't be a much of a scene, as there were plenty of open tables. That part was a relief, but we were a bit concerned to find several parties waiting and barely being acknowledged when half the restaurant was empty. When we were finally acknowledged, the host / hostess were not the friendliest, approximating a 15-20 minute wait and forgetting to mention that we could have chosen to sit immediately at their "community table." We learned about that a few minutes later when another party walked in and sat right down. Luckily, we didn't have to wait that long and we were seated at a comfy booth about 5-10 minutes later. Service wasn't the best, as we had to wait awhile for our water / coffee / juice, but once we ordered, it all turned out fine. One thing to know if you go here... Avocado Toast. That is definitely the way to go. It may be on a temporary summer menu, but my advice to FW is to keep that puppy on the menu forever. If I come back, that is what I'll come back for! I was also pleasantly surprised with the kids menu... my daughter had the eggs and bacon which comes with toast, fruit and a drink. This location doesn't feel a ton like a chain, which I like. The inside has a warm vibe, fun decor, clean bathrooms, etc... they also have a shaded patio, which a couple of brave patrons were sitting at despite the high temps in the 100s this weekend. If they can get a strong manager in place and/or improve the service a bit, I'd consider adding this to my regular breakfast rotation for sure... especially if that avocado toast sticks around on the menu! read more

The food was fast, hot and delicious! All of the staff were super friendly! Especially Katie, our server, who was so sweet with my 2 year old. She even went as far as to sit down with her for a minute to color (distracting her while I took an important call). Katie was exceptional! Dustin, the manager was not surprised by my compliment - he said she gets them a lot! He was very friendly and checked in with us! What great service!! read more

So so so sooo good! Decided to have brunch before our trip back to Albuquerque. I highly recommend this place for both sweet and savory eats. I ordered an egg's Benedict and went with the BLT that thankfully came with avocado and a side of papas. My friend ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes that were to die for. Probably one of the best Benedict's I've had. It was served on ciabatta bread and had lemon arugula on top. The tart mixed in with the savory made a very unique and tasty flavor combination. read more

It was fantastic! Wonderful food, not too long of a wait, and fast service. Our server Albert was fantastic and one of the best servers I've had. I worked at Chick-fil-A and talk about customer service this guy is incredible. Highly recommend and find Albert he's the best. read more

They seem to have an interesting menu but it is pricey and there are not very many gluten-free options. The granola is not and they have wheat corn tortillas for the Mexican inspired dishes. Apparently, they once had corn tortillas but opted to get rid of them. With the many people who are trying to eat gluten free, you would think a major chain like this one would be on board. Hope they make some changes for the future. read more

This is actually my favorite breakfast place in Phoenix in this area. If it is crowded it is hard to get everything perfect but they try hard here and they work hard and they deserve a little slack if they're not fast enough are pleasant enough that is a tough job when you are the best restaurant in Phoenix area for breakfast. Nothing but great things to say about this place highly recommended the patient if it's crowded. read more

You can never go wrong with this place, great service,food fresh,drinks are very good. Perfect

Went just after 10AM on a Sunday with a group of four. There was a wait but nothing crazy (maybe 10 minutes). Biscuits w/ turkey gravy is delicious! read more

I went here this morning at 10 for brunch with my parents while I'm town. The service was quick and flawless, the food was soooo good. Get the bananas foster. And the value for the price is great. A regular spot. read more

Fantastic brunch restaurant, with some traditional lunch fare for the more...er, traditional. Staying at the Biltmore close by, which shuts down brunch fare at 930am! So glad this place is literally a 5 minute drive, and serves brunch through 230pm! Perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon when your flight lands 3am in the morning and you stumble out of bed at 1230pm. The egg hash was fantastic! Coffee is decent, nothing to write home about, but isn't over burnt like star*gag*bucks. read more

I am a HUGE First Watch fan but I was a little disappointed by this location. I always get the avocado toast so I know what to expect. Today my eggs were over cooked and the avocado wasn't as fresh or tasty as it usually is. Great atmosphere and a very nice server. The kitchen let me down today read more

First Watch - Breakfast tacos and potatoes - sooooo good!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Loved it! Ordered To-Go for an office party of five and it was ready in under fifteen minutes. The glow juice was so fresh and veggie-concentrated. At only $3.99 it was a steal as compared to most juice shops. I had the market hash. It was delicious! The potatoes were a little mushy which was a nice change from your standard hash. I really enjoyed the flavors. It came with the hash, two eggs, and one large piece of toast with jam and butter. The tomato soup was delicious! Very creamy and fortunately vegetarian. My coworkers all got the egg sandwich and were extremely happy with them. The bacon was huge! Overall very happy with the service and food. Will be back! read more

Everything was delicious! We tried the usual, Tri-Fecta, the Floridian French Toast, side of potatoes and the seasonal Gingerbread Spice Donuts. read more

First time here and I have to tell you the service and food we're beyond my expectations. Our server Kim was amazing! Great suggestions and took the time to explain the menu which made all the difference in the world. This is a new concept for them, rustic fresh and natural farm to table from local suppliers. Their pumpkin pancakes Cherry wood bacon and chicken apple sausage are definite must in my book read more

Stop in pretty regularly between this location and Promenade... I have to say we enjoy the atmosphere and as of today a waitress who went out of her way with all our crazy questions. Anisa was so sweet & helpful.... She noticed I was eating KETO and was so kind to share her experience and some tips. TY The food was wonderful as always The coffee even better although my daughter would strongly disagree because she LOVES the Summer Blush. ‍ read more

I love this location.. seasonal menu is always fun and delicious. Service is good. But, nothin will ruin a pleasant food experience like a god awful hot restaurant. Would love to give more stars but this is Arizona. Get new air conditioners, add some fans or please don't scrimp at the cost of your patrons not being happy. It's to good a place to not address this problem. read more

Very popular place on the weekend's. We waited for over thirty-minutes, but it was fine they have a little sitting area out front. Service was great! Ian let us know all the specials of the day, and even gave us refills before we left. I ordered a omelette & it was very good. The potatoes on the side were nice and crispy, very tasty. I ordered the blueberry drink & it was perfect! Not to sweet just refreshing. read more

Two words... Never again! I got an avocado chop to go today and it was hands down the worst salad. Not because of the ingredients but due to the soggy lettuce and stale tortilla strips. It's pretty obvious that a salad to go should have dressing on the side. Was excited to give this place a try but definitely won't be back. Giving 2 stars only due to it being semi inexpensive. read more

This is conveniently located at 32nd and Camelback and it really has a nice modern feel. Frankie was our friendly and efficient waiter. I love their menu. They offer traditional breakfasts and a few out of the ordinary options. They were featuring a melon drink that looked refreshing, but I needed my coffee. I had the avocado toast that comes with two basted eggs. The toast comes with heaping mounds of avocado with some olive oil and a nice sprinkle of salt. Soooo delicious and fresh. My lunch partners had the traditional breakfast and the smoked salmon on toast. Both were very happy with their meals. Their portions are generous and priced right. We realized we were running late part way through our meal and Frankie quickly brought our bill and a take home container. We will return. read more

Great space for chatting over a yummy breakfast. They have wonderful coffee and the avocado toast was delicious. Service was great and unobtrusive. I've eaten at other First Watches and they are always good. read more

FIRST, watch, your food portions this place is pricy for the portions you get. Service is good they are attentive can't complain about that. But for the food you get and the price they charge, you are better off at Matt's Big Breakfast. Maybe later in the future when they include potatoes for their meals I will try them again! read more

Breakfast for 7 on Sunday was awesome. We were seated after a 5 min wait. I recommend the Morning Meditation and/or Pomegranate Mule to start. I had the avocado toast and butternut squash soup. Both excellent. Our table also ordered the pumpkin pancakes, waffles, Bacardi omelette and Farmhouse Hash. Everything was delicious. We will come back. read more

This breakfast reminds me of airplane food. Sourdough toast was cheap, I don't think real butter was used on it. Bacon was like flimsy cardboard that had a bacon taste. Jam was super cheap and I'm not sure it had real fruit in it. This is a commercial kitchen that pus profit over taste. read more

First Watch is always consistent. I had never been to this location before. I love the outdoor seating they have. We sat inside as it has already started to become uncomfortably warm again in Phoenix. Our server was very friendly and accommodating. We placed and received our order in a very timely manner. Everything was great and to our expectations. I like that First Watch has seasonal menus with different options. read more

So yummy!!! The lemon ricotta pancakes are a game changer the chocolate chip pancakes were also great! The coffee is nice and smooth

I've been to every first watch location and this will be the only one I go to from now on. I had some of the best service here and the employees are so friendly and inviting. It felt like I was relaxing with friends. You must try the avocado toast there! And their breakfast potatoes are amazing. Will absolutely be back for brunch again soon! read more

The food is absolutely delicious, but they really don't take the time to look over their orders (to go orders). Every single time we get a to go order something is always wrong or they forget to put something in the bag that we paid for. The camelback location, and the one on mill ave specifically. The people are always really sweet when sitting in, but in times like these, to go orders are more regular, and it's kind of frustrating not always getting what we paid for. Especially when we spend lots of money there. We will no longer be ordering take out due to the multiple inconveniences. read more

By far one of my favorite brunch spots. Everything, freakin' everything is soooooo good. The hash dishes, the omelets and the pancakes. They have awesome brunch drinks as well. I can't think of my favorite cocktail but it features bullet bourbon and as peach vodka. Yes .... Bourbon and vodka! There's usually a wait, once you dine here you'll see why. There's such a variety of pancakes to try ... red velvet, cinna-bon flavored, smore's kind ... sooooo many! read more

Came here after a night shift for a relaxed brunch. The food stands up decently against similar breakfast spots across town. My husband and I split the BLT eggs benedict and the lemon ricotta pancakes. Both were tasty. Portion sizes were slightly smaller than standard fat American brunch joint, which could potentially be disappointing if you're a standard fat American but likely is healthier for all of us. Service was unfortunately less than ideal the morning we visited. Not sure whether we were just there on an off-day, but the staff felt rushed and was less-than-inclined to offer tips about the menu read more

Stopped in the other day after a Spin class down the road. Grabbed the avocado toast and a chocolate chip multi grain pancake. It was delicious!! A little too much lemon on the toast for me, but that's easily fixed next time! Probably the most avocado topped toast I've ever ordered. Definitely worth the money. Friendly staff. Will be back soon for some more breakfast!! read more

My best friend and I go here each time she is back in town! We love the trendy, modern-rustic vibe and the service at any of their locations is great. My best friend always orders the pancakes. I've had them many times and they are always delicious! Personally, I like to mix it up and order something from their seasonal menu. I love that they get new options in every few months or so. Their fresh squeezed juices are also to die for! They have great flavor and they're also good for you. I love their menu because they have a wide variety of options, from sweet to savory and from simple to complex. There's something for everyone here! read more
