    This place has such a lively atmosphere! We were greeted right at the door, and they even held it open for me and my party, which was a nice touch. The wait was super short no more than about five minutes. The food was good, and I tried their new seasonal drink and sandwich, which I really enjoyed. One of our orders did come out wrong, which is always a little inconvenient since we had to send it back and wait for a new plate. However, our hostess was incredibly nice with a great personality and answered all of our questions without hesitation, which definitely made up for it. I also love that I can literally walk there from my apartment that's a huge plus for me. The prices weren't bad at all either. I'll definitely be back!

    We had brunch recently at First Watch on Sonterra Blvd. Starting with coffee for hubby and myself and hot chocolate for Dad. Hubby had the Breakfast Taco, Dad had the Classic Breakfast with 2 sunny side up, bacon, and potatoes, and I had the Ham and Gruyere Omelette. Everything was well made but we had too much food. Definitely took home leftovers. Great service! Recommend this location.

    First time here with a big group on Sunday. I loved that they were will to accommodate us even though we were a big party. The service was fast and great. The food is your typical breakfast foods. Honestly my omelet was ok, what I loved is my friend order the chocolate chip pancakes and they were AMAZING and fluffy and not to sweet just perfection, if I come back it would be for that!

    My wife and I took our 2 adult kids out to breakfast yesterday and found First Watch restaurant while looking for Egg and I (which is closed btw). Son and I had pancakes which were huge! Good thing I only got one. Couldn't even finish it. Mine was a little dry and needed lots of butter and syrup. He had blueberry pancakes which he said were good. Wife had a waffle which she described as good also. The best part of the meal was the "million dollar bacon" which I believe was on the appetizer menu. Very tasty and well worth the $8. We had 2 of them. Waitress was very attentive and quick and check out was a breeze, being done online. The place was clean and looked to be recently remodeled ( though the floor in the men's bathroom was a little slippery). We will go again and probably just split a pancake and have more of that bacon!

    Breakfast was so good and service was perfect- the coffee was fresh and tasty- they provide me with no. Dairy creamer which was awesome not many place have oak milk or almond milk. Definitely recommend this restaurant for breakfast! There is a big selection of breakfast foods to choose from & daily specials.

    I had a great experience! My server was Lydia, she was very attentive and all smiles! I got their French toast and loaded breakfast potatoes; it was excellent! The restaurant was very clean and inviting! 10/10 experience!

    My bf and myself love trying out different breakfast spots around north SA. We came across this place since it's down the street from us! I love looking at cleanliness, service, and if quality foods match the price. First things first, walking in, it looks very tidy, very well lit areas, tables are ready with mugs for some coffee. The waiter/waitresses we have had thus far have been prompt, very nice, and helpful. The menu: can be a bit overwhelming in a good way because there is a variety of food with so many different ingredients that they use! You can indulge or have yourself a nice healthy breakfast option. (Carrot cake pancake is a great treat-huge size for just one!) The food: the few things I've tried have been really good with all the different types of flavors it goes into it, I can really appreciate whoever came up with the meal. They usually have a seasonal menu as well, and that's what I love to try. This morning we tried the B.E.C.-bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on sourdough, and the so cal hash, both were really good! Fave from the two was the hash! The flavors were amazing! Side note: they have alcohol there as well in case you like to start the weekend early.

    Feeling lazy? Come here and you will get the vibe and the will…read more Never seen so many people working out at once. Amazing little city of health. They know what they are doing. Free private parking behind the Legend outdoor small mall. Next to major highway, easy find. Huge enough to spot off the highway. Cafe, comfy hang outs with plug ins, a hair salon greet you at entrance. Came to check out the double swimming pools, both open almost all year round, indoor and out. Clean, buzzing, kids are very well kept away from adults, indoor pickle ball with open play hours. Immaculate Indoor basketball court made me want to play Locker rooms even have a lounge inside with tv They provide towels and all sorts of things you do not have to pack. Upstairs greets you with massage chairs, stretch tables, plenty of space for weight machines, treadmills, you name it.

    The prices for a cafe at the sophisticated Lifetime Fitness (rock wall, hot sauna, dry sauna,…read moreraquetball, water slides, hot tubs, pool, personal trainers, yoga, Pilates- what else do you need?) are unexpectedly affordable. We tried the Turkey Burger, Mediterranean Pizza, Frittata of the Day, and the Catalina Avocado Toast. All for around $30. Enough to feed 3. Of course, being in Lifetime Fitness, you can expect the food to be healthy. The chefs that make most everything in house are also knowledgeable about healthy diets and the specific nutrition within their dishes. Usually pretty quiet, nice place to fuel up before a workout or better yet as a healthy reward afterwards. Turkey Burger on Pretzel bread was moist and lightly seasoned. Pretzel buns can often be stuff and too dense, but they did it right here! At $4, the Frittata was small but satisfying- California style with bacon and peppers. The Catalina Avocado Toast had fresh mozzarella, ripe tomato sliced, and delicious avocado atop multigrain toast. Tasty! Last but not least was the Mediterranean Pizza. Cauliflower crust was crispy and tasty. Fresh arugula, kale, mushrooms, and zucchini did not make the crust soggy like lots of vegetables in pizza tends to do. Decent serving size for $12 (we added chicken for a few more dollars). LifeCafe has a menu with variety, plus rotating daily specials. For something even quicker, they have premade meals that you can take to-go or they will microwave it for you. And they make those all in-house as well, so freshness should not be a problem! The employees were friendly and welcoming of any questions we had. A great experience, will have to try the healthy drinks and smoothies sometime!
