    Small, and busy location. Parking is limited, parking around back if any available. Expect a wait, be patient. Food; Started out with the Million dollar bacon and it did not disappoint. I decided to go off the season menu, and got the Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast, it was really good but it may have had too much toppings that it overpowered the actual French Toast. But still very good and refreshing, not too heavy. Service; our server was fast and friendly.

    Everything omelet.
    Ron C.

    Giving them another try. Burnt potatoes and salty, toast is white asked for new ones. The Omelet was assembled and not cooked. Their lunch is better. The coffee is good. Waiter was nice.

    Ham and Gruyère Cheese Sandwich
    Stan B.

    We had a weekday brunch at First Watch today. The Associates at the front desk warmly greeted us and seated us. The wait staff was quickly to our table to get beverage orders. We placed our orders and were served very quickly. I had a chickichanga and my wife had a Ham and Gruyère cheese on ciabatta bread. Both came with home fried potatoes. We followed that up with pumpkin donut holes and both Carmel and vanilla dipping sauces. First Watch was busy but the noise level was muted enough that we could carry on our conversation. The wait staff was attentive and very courteous checking back to make sure we had everything we needed offering refills without being asked. Everything was delicious.

    Roaches

    They got some very friendly roaches. Maybe they just want a little snack. Server said they found roaches on plates of food as well

    I must say that this was one of the best breakfast experiences I have ever had. The food was phenomenal and the staff was amazing as well! Everyone was so pleasant and just overall made the visit enjoyable. Me and my guest throughly enjoyed our food and coffee everything was fresh definitely 10/10. The building was clean, the table was clean. I will be talking about this experience for the rest of the year and all of 2024!

    Breakfast sandwich with chicken sausage
    C B.

    One of the best places for me to get breakfast as they offer several pork free options. Our service was fantastic even though they were slammed. My breakfast sandwich was great I was so happy they let me sub chicken sausage in lieu of the bacon. This is one of the only places I can have biscuits and gravy. I was just a little disappointed in how transparent the gravy was. I had high hopes for it to be amazing.

    Steak and Bacon Burrito
    Lauren S.

    I love First Watch, but today's new tries set me to a new level. Our waitress, Rocky, was phenomenal. She was attentive, accurate, and personable, more than most. She made sure we knew what was in the food we ordered and that we ordered exactly what we wanted. The food: The coffee is always hot and fresh. I ordered the Market Hash Skillet. The hash is a little misleading because it doesn't have hash in it. I confirmed before ordering as I'm not a fan of hash. The skillet is a mix of fresh vegetables, goat cheese, potatoes, and eggs. The goat cheese blends the flavors seamlessly. My husband ordered the seasonal steak and bacon burrito. That thing was huge and full of flavor and protein. I snuck a bite and worth the hype. It was a nice mix of the red and white sauce. Can't wait to come back!

    Quick friendly service. Love how consistent yet, exploratory and exciting the menu can be. Safe yet tasteful spins on healthy dishes. Reasonably priced, fresh and filling! Very farmhouse rusty yet bright and clean esthetic.

    Elote Breakfast Burrito and Kale Tonic

    This Elote Breakfast Burrito is the bomb! So colorful and flavorful! Swapped out chorizo for chicken sausage since I don't eat red meat. Deanna was an excellent server.

    Tacos Al Pastor Hash
    Jacob S.

    Nice breakfast spot when out on business. Breakfast Served all day. They have a nice fresh spin on traditional classics. They normally feature monthly specials, this one in particular was quite good! Overall the food was flavorful and the service was standard. A solid choice for breakfast or brunch!

    Chile Chorizo
    Jill B.

    I think First Watch is a solid breakfast spot. I haven't been wow'ed by any dish but all the food I have got has been good. They have good coffee and usually good service. Go early in the morning because this place usually gets packed.

While the kids were playing I walked the few steps to The Garden Cafe for a cup of coffee. It is fresh brewed from fresh ground coffee beans. I like my coffee with cream and it was added in front of to make sure it was exactly the perfect amount for my preference. As I walked back towards the play area I took my first sip and literally stopped in my tracks; it was that delicious. I told my spouse it very well might be the best cup of coffee I've ever had. It was that good!! The wait staff was very friendly making sure my coffee was just the way I like it. If you're looking for a terrific cup of coffee, a latte, cappuccino, or any other variation of coffee beverage this is worth the stop. I did not order any food from The Cafe on this trip but I will. There is ample, comfortable seating providing a great place to talk over coffee and/or a meal!! I'll post some photos on my next trip back. My Grandkids loved the play area too. We were there about 2 hours and their ages ranged from 7 to 10 years and they did not want to leave. They had a blast!! The entire facility is immaculately clean. The play area also has a restroom within its area that is also kept very clean! What an excellent place for parents (and Grandparents!) to spend some fun time with our Kids! And enjoy a great cup of coffee or a bite to eat while you're there.

There were only a few spots available to sit so my husband went and found us a table while we ordered. He also found a deck of Giant Uno cards that ended up being the source of many laughs while we enjoyed our coffee there. He had the Turkish coffee. I had the Jabani and a piece of caramel milk cake. I had a couple of bites of the cake and it was fantastic! Love that as you put your fork into the milk just oozed out. The rest I took home to enjoy later. The coffee was good. Very hot. I love that it stays hot the whole time you're there and not just for 5 minutes like most places. We bought a bag of beans to take home. Can't wait to use those. The place is absolutely beautiful and the restroom is something to see. Plenty of photo ops. Take some time and stop in to enjoy this place. We'll definitely be back when in the area again.

Inside there's a decent amount of seats and tables but it's always very busy and sometimes hard to find a spot. The cafe is bright, pretty, lively, and pretty cool. We've come a few times and have tried a few different things. I think the drinks are usually made well and are flavorful. I like their matchas but feel like they could use a bit more matcha. Their other drinks are usually strong and can be bitter based on the roast. I think the pastries are pretty good as well. I feel like a few cafes around town have similar if not the same pastries and they're all pretty good. I like the creamcheese in the Honeycomb pastry, it's a good balance to the honey. The pistachio milk cake is pretty good but I wish it was more pistachio flavored. I think everything is pretty good, it's just a little expensive. I would love to buy and try more but it is a treat to come. Overall, it's a good place for drinks, a sweet treat, or to get some work done. There are limited outlets around the cafe and not many large tables. Good place for casual dates, studying alone, or a very small group. It gets a bit loud with conversations and music, but people playing headphones and earbuds. Staff is usually very nice and answer questions. Once they made us the wrong order and made up for it, which was very kind.

Our food was brought over by our nice waiter which made sure we were taken care of so that was nice. The pancakes were very fluffy and light and were topped off with banana slices. The sausage on a side plate was super tasty. I could taste the pepper and rosemary seasoning and it was very juicy. The coffee was very good and I served myself another hot cup! I would definitely come back!
