Review hanging since 11/2025. We come to First Watch for a change in eating styles and the artful juice mixes. Oatmeal is our friend. Some of the wait staff are acquaintances recognizing our faces. A great place for groups, prices not shifting much as inflation raises prices in other eateries. read more

Excellent Breakfast! Great service from our waitress today. Food is fresh and came to the table very quickly. Appreciate the hospitality! read more

The dish came out in a timely manner however the potatoes were too salty. The rest of the dish was perfect The service was friendly and the ambiance was chill! My mom loves this place I took her there for her birthday My mom was happy with her food. I had to give it 4 stars because it had to return my dish because of the salty potatoes otherwise it would have been a perfect dish! read more

First Watch - First watch has a new dish Chimichurri Steak & Eggs Hash - Cafes Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I went here for breakfast with a friend. It took a few minutes to be greeted but once we were, the hostess was nice. The inside appeared to be clean. The waiter was nice but we didn't see him much. I got the traditional breakfast with chicken sausage patties, eggs, potatoes, and toast. I also got the toffee crunch iced coffee. The food was good but the potatoes were slightly undercooked and the chicken sausage seemed like a frozen patty with a weird texture. I thought they made the sausage in-house. My friend got the watermelon pineapple drink and said it was good. She also got the turkey sausage biscuits and gravy which she enjoyed. I will note that they emphasize that a lot of the juices are fresh but when I asked if I could get the Watermelon drink without pineapple because I allergic, I was told no because they make the juice in big batches. I found that to be interesting. The restroom was clean. read more

This has become my favorite breakfast spot and I end up eating here at least once a week. The food is always fresh, the service is consistently great, and it is an easy place to keep coming back to. If you have not tried the Honey Butter Biscuit Bites yet, do yourself a favor and order them. They are hands down my favorite thing on the menu. I probably eat way too many of them, but they are absolutely worth it every single time. read more

Good overall and consistent with other locations but what is up with the potatoes? Something needs to change. The last 5 times I've been here their potatoes are way too salty and greasy. read more

First Watch - The biscuits are amazing as well! - Cafes Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I enjoyed the biscuits and gravy meal. My mother had the Classic Eggs Benedict. She was not impressed. She said it didn't have much flavor. Our service was good, though at one point my mother had to wait a long time for someone to bring some milk for her coffee. I feel like this place deserves 5 stars despite any small hiccups. I even fell down on the hot blacktop when I left the restaurant, but I'd still come back. read more

I love this First Watch location due to the friendly staff and atmosphere. The place is cozy and has modern decor that is surrounded around the restaurant. I do highly recommend calling ahead or making a reservation during Holliday season or the weekends since it will be packed. I like coming here during the weekdays and I still get amazing service! Food was tasty and very much affordable. I enjoyed the various options and how satisfied I am when I walk out the doors. Highly recommend giving First Watch a chance, you will not be disappointed read more

We are visiting from out of town due to a medical issue. First Watch was the highlight of our days. Our great servers, Rossi and Lanesa were amazing! The best breakfast in Phoenix! read more

I have NOT had a working breakfast in a long time. This location was perfect and had yummy food. It was fun and prepping for our meeting. I had to fuel up on the ham and cheese omelette, potatoes, and multigrain bread. It was perfect to get geared up for a meeting onsite in person! The service was attentive and fast. read more

First Watch is a stop we always make each trip to the Phoenix area. It's a great menu that offers a large selection of food and beverages, very innovative. Our server was slammed and took a few minutes to get our order, but once she did all kept rolling well! She made sure to check back with just the right amount of times without it being too much, and had a very bubbly personality even during the rush. The interior is modern and clean, and the food is always delicious! Wish we had one of these in the Seattle area where we lack great breakfast options. read more

Love the decor and ambiance. The seating makes it feel private. Not a ton of people on a Friday morning. Our server Rachel was lovely and understanding. My friend had to run so we ordered and got our checks immediately. She split our checks and we could pay via QR code which was convenient. The food came quickly. They brought an extra carafe of hot coffee for self service refills. When my friend asked for a to go cup for his coffee, they brought one filled with fresh coffee. The million dollar bacon is worth it! 4 thick slices, evenly cooked with a bit of chew and crisp. The pepper is strong and the maple syrup balances the spice. The BLT eggs Benedict was delicious. I love arugula and the extra toss in lemon sauce added a nice zest to the heavier hollandaise sauce. The egg yolk was runny. Bacon and tomatoes were solid. The side of salad is a nice healthy option that a lot of brunch places lack. A great balance of protein and veggies. Would definitely get this again. read more

I know it's a chain, but this is consistently a great place for breakfast. They also have lunch things for anyone in your party who's not down for breakfast food, so it works well for our family in that brunch timeframe! Food feels fresher than places like IHOP or Denny's, with higher quality ingredients. They have some really cool smoothies and mocktails, too. This particular location has excellent staff - they are kind and attentive, know about the menu items, and are just dang pleasant people. Good vibes all around. In the fall, they have a pumpkin pancake on their menu for maybe a month. I had it at least 6 times this year because I like it that much :) It's really too bad it's seasonal and not available year-round! read more

It was my first time visiting a First Watch and I can definitely say that I'm not disappointed! My husband and I went on a Friday morning and it fortunately not packed. Our server was AMAZING and super attentive. He answered our questions about the menu, made recommendations, and came back several times to check on us. It's the kind of service that's hard to get even in places 5x more expensive than this. The establishment is clean and well-kept. The atmosphere is on the more formal side of casual? And the food is great! Everything we ordered was super tasty. Don't forget to try their seasonal drinks as well! read more

It's still one of my favorite places for breakfast it's fresh, it's healthy, and it's always leaves me feeling good at the end of my meal. I really love their BLT Eggs Benedict. They are served on chabbatta bread instead of English muffin. The eggs are always poached perfectly and nestled on top of crispy bacon, tomato, and avocado. The hollandaise is light with a lemony finish, and the Arugula topping completes the dish. It is served with their yummy house potatoes at $13.99. My wife doesn't like bacon, so she always gets the Florentine. The decor is a rustic farmhouse, and the service staff is friendly and attentive. always a good experience. read more

Great breakfast spot. Fresh ingredients & flavorful breakfast options, highly recommend if in the Phoenix area.

If you're black or brown your service is going to be terrible! Waited 25 minutes to be sat ALL THE WAY in the back. Once we sat we waited 15 minutes and still no server to even take our drinks. We straight up left because I can tell we were not the only ones experiencing this. Legit all black and brown people in the back. Fuck this location but not surprised since the Zipps next door helped ICE detain immigrants not too long ago. read more

Really cute and trendy breakfast spot with fresh food . Left filling full and tummies satisfied . The drinks and juices are crafty in a pleasing to the eye way and taste fresh . The million dollar bacon was better than the bacon that came with our entrees . Coffee was strong and the ambience was chill . Our server was attentive and friendly . Parking is a bit difficult if it gets crowded and you can go online and get your name on the list ahead of time. read more

Liked it. Friendly staff and solid breakfasts. We were both pleased with our food. Lots of mimosas and brunch drink options.

Terrible service. The waitress didn't check in once, forgot drinks and then we waited 20 minutes at the end for to go containers and the check. Food was fine at least besides the orders being slightly wrong too. read more

Classic breakfast/brunch food but they also have some good unique options!! I am obsessed with the Hawaiian French toast they have at the moment. The million star bacon is worth a try at least once! The only thing I have to remember is to ask for my potatoes extra done or else they aren't crispy at all. They also got some fun looking alcoholic bevs but I know for a fact their Carmel crunch coffee is amazing!! Lots of outside seating for those nice AZ days! The manager, Lisa, is always so sweet! read more

We're so impressed with the way every employee goes above and beyond...paying attention to details and their customers. From the moment we arrived outside, a nice young man named August, opened the door politely. We were then greeted with exceptionally kind smiles and genuine friendliness from the hostess, Lisa and a tall beautiful girl who walked us to our table. We ordered a custom omelette and the egg sandwich which was fantastic! Our server, Gracie, was so sweet... when we asked for take-away containers she offered cups for our coffee too. She was very attentive and we love when the water and coffee carafes are left on the table while we're eating so our coffee never gets cold. We really appreciate a restaurant that serves great food and hires lovely people that make us feel important. Definitely recommend!!!! read more

For me at least, it seems a bit overrated. I know it's healthy food but it taste super bland. It can be healthy but with a lot more flavor. read more

Great service, great tasting food, from their granola and banana pancakes to their salmon frittata is was very good! Using their "wait in line" app was great since we had a party of 8 and they seated us within a couple of minutes! read more

BLT Eggs Benedict 4/5 Bacon was savory and crispy, hollandaise sauce was tangy and creamy, avocado adds nice depth to the dish Side of potatoes 4/5 Peppery flavor, skin on adds earthy tones to the potatoes, wish it was more crispy Service 5/5 Waitress was nice and cordial, tried not to interrupt conversation, read more

A solid breakfast spot near downtown Phoenix. Located in a restaurant center there's plenty of nearby parking. We arrived at 8am on a Saturday morning before they got busy. We were seated immediately at a large booth. Our waitress was friendly and checked on us often. The Million Dollar Bacon was my favorite item with a tasty maple and brown sugar glaze. The Kale Tonic Fresh Juice was a refreshing way to get some vegetables. The Elote Mexican Street Corn Hash was tasty and filling. The kid's bacon and egg breakfast offered a little of everything that a toddler will enjoy. First Watch is a solid breakfast spot for the whole family. I love that they have seasonal items, fresh juices, and healthy options as well as decadent ones. read more

first of all, it's a nice area, outside seating has misters to keep you cool in the AZ heat which is really nice. As I was eating, I noticed two little aphids in my salad which isn't a big deal, only really means that the salad is truly organic without any pesticides. When my gf brought this up to the waiter, they actually comped my meal which was super nice of them. the food really was good and the salad was fresh as all could be. if you like real fresh quality, THIS IS THE PLACE!! If little aphids bother you, just don't get the salad. honestly great place!!! read more

i really like First Watch but this time i ordered the avocado toast and i did not like it that much. it was circled on the menu like it was a featured item so i was expecting it to be really good. It was very bland and i would not recommend it. my daughter for the skillet and really enjoyed it. i really like the french toast, although i didn't order this time, and i always order the morning meditation drink, it's very good. prices seemed like they've gone up, it was about 45 for both my daughter and I and I feel like that's kinda pricey for breakfast. read more

First time at this location which is a great location by the way! My sister and mom were waiting for me and I'm glad we had Steven as our waiter he was very patient from the beginning. While they waited for me to get there my sister ordered a carrot cake pancake which was a very big pancake to share and very delicious. Everything here is so fresh from the pot of coffee on your table to your fruit, and Cage free eggs. My overall breakfast experience was great! Thank you Steven for being kind and patient, Having a great waiter definitely makes our breakfast more enjoyable at First Watch! read more

Really impressed this morning! We are exploring the area, and stumbled upon this restaurant with an outdoor patio, and we are glad we stopped! The avocado toast is outstanding! I couldn't eat it all- huge pieces of multigrain toast, fresh avocado, fried egg, sea salt and a tad hint of lemon. Wonderful breakfast. Hubby has the chorizo omelette- he said it was fantastic. Don't forget to try the homemade jelly! Coffee was free today for their welcome back to the world opening. Service was prompt and efficient, waitress wore her mask correctly. We will be back! read more

We were so anxious to try out this restaurant bc we heard they had great food. Finally got a chance to go in and check it out and I have to say we were highly disappointed- went in for breakfast and not only was the table wobbly when you tried to put your arms on it but we didn't care for the omelettes we got. You cut into it and everything just fell out of it. I think they could've made them better for the price. They have everything on the menu accept desserts - what restaurant doesn't have dessert! But they have alcoholic drinks. Kind of strange but it is what it is. I know after a good lunch or non-breakfast meal I want dessert. I have to say the staff was nice in spite of the meal but I don't think we'll go back a second time. read more
