    Farmhouse Hash
    Glenn R.

    I would recommend trying First Watch at least once to see what it's all about, and a second time to see if you like it or not. My 2-star rating comes with a disclaimer: I've only gone there one time - I will try it again and update my review accordingly. From my inner circle, I have heard various opinions about First Watch, from terrible to terrific. I take this information in stride and like to find out for myself. This review is from my experience on February 21, 2025. The reason for the low rating is the food, but again, there's a catch: I ordered breakfast food to-go. This is not something I usually do or make a habit of. The reason is that most food, especially breakfast food, does not travel well. I knew this ahead of time but took a chance anyway. The food was edible, but less-than desirable. I expected more. One item I ordered was the Elevated Egg Sandwich which comes with smashed avocado. The avocado was brown. This indicates to me that it was not fresh. It comes with really unique and tasty toppings, and the bun is divine - I would have preferred fresh, though. The other item was the Farmhouse Hash. The eggs over easy were disgusting. I can forgive quite a bit when it comes to eggs, but these eggs were severely undercooked with a ton of the most undesirable slime. Oddly enough, the outside of the egg was browned. From personal experience of cooking eggs for myself for 40 years, I know what the problem was: the griddle was way too hot for egg cooking. The outside appeared done but the inside was raw (see attached video). The person who took my order over the phone and the person who assisted me when I went to pick up the order were super nice and friendly - so I feel like the staff are polite and personable. Also, you cannot deny the place is clean and well-lit. So yeah, I had a bad experience. It's not the end of the world. I will try again and see what happens!

    Breakfast tacos
    Nary K.

    Ambiance - cozy and comfortable. Service - fast. Food - ok. I had the breakfast tacos. I wished the tacos included two layers of the tortillas because the tacos wouldn't hold. They fell apart very easily. The eggs and chorizo had good flavor though. We also had the biscuit and gravy dish as well as the Western (Cali) hash. They both were ok. Nothing extraordinary.

    Biscuits and gravy
    Amanda L.

    Such a cute place! Love the vibe. Sat at the bar on a Sunday morning and service was quick and friendly even with how busy they were. Food was excellent. I got the biscuits and gravy with potatoes and scrambled eggs and my girlfriend got eggs Benedict. The potatoes were so well seasoned and crispy. The gravy had a nice peppery kick with so much flavor to it. We loved our meals and will absolutely be back!

    Avocado toast with gluten free bread

    So disappointed with my order today. Had to send it back and pick something else from the menu. The avocado was brown, the eggs were overcooked and dry, gluten free bread was damp. The replacement choice of French toast was " why did I even bother " No powdered sugar,the presentation was blah. Thank goodness it wasn't dry! Will be back to Wash Twp First Watch!

    What I had

    45 minute wait. Valentine day. Expected. Very slow service, again! Donut holes burned. Bacon not fully cooked in Monterey sandwich. Clean place. Very friendly servers and front door folks. Manager deducted the burned donuts off the bill and apologized pleasantly. Nice place.

    Such a beautifully renovated space! Glad this location is finally open, after taking over the place Bertucci's previously operated. The renovations are apparent as soon as you step into the brightly lit and well decorated dining area that First Watch is known for. We came in for a Sunday morning breakfast early, before 9am. We were sat immediately. I ordered the under $4 pot of coffee that stayed at the table with me, the BLT benedict, and a side of toast with preserved. The food was out quickly and piping hot. I could see steam coming off the black beans that came with my friend's order of breakfast tacos. The benedict was cooked perfectly, had great flavor, and I absolutely loved the side salad with a lemony dressing. It was a bright, fresh, and filling breakfast. The bathroom was bright, clean, and stocked with soap and paper towels. There were at least 3 stalls in the women's. Would definitely recommend stopping in, if in the area.

From the moment you pull into the parking lot, it's complete chaos, cars double parked everywhere with no organization. Walking inside doesn't get any better. The place is overcrowded with DoorDash and Grubhub drivers just standing around, and there's no clear system for who's waiting, who's ordered, or where to go. You literally have to ask a dozen people just to figure out where the line starts. After finally placing our order, we were told it would be a 30-40 minute wait. That turned into an hour... then an hour and a half... then nearly two hours, with zero communication or updates. We even went back in after an hour, only to be told our food still wasn't ready, but were offered a tiny spoon of water ice as if that somehow made up for it. Then, after waiting even longer, we were finally told they were out of beef bacon, the main ingredient in both of our sandwiches, and asked if we wanted a substitute. At that point, absolutely not. We canceled the order. To make matters worse, instead of issuing a proper refund, we were told to "monitor our bank account" and come back if the charge doesn't fall off. That's unacceptable. At least the receipt says voided but I already know where I'll be on Wednesday

We shared the chicken empanadas which were full of chicken, crispy outside and sitting on top of guacamole. The goat fries had a nice sauce, bacon and jalapeños. Both good- the empanadas could have used a little more heat (flavor not temp) and the fries could have had more of the sauce. The broken burrata salad was yummy just needed a pinch of salt. Our server was friendly - checked in enough while allowing us the time to just sit and talk.

We landed on the Eggs Benedict and the $19 BUTTERSCOTCH APPLE FRENCH TOAST, which is baked cinnamon & vanilla custard-soaked brioche, butterscotch apples; topped with brown butter oat streusel & Philly whip. Unbelievable. The place was loud and popping on a Sunday around noon. Not intimate, but a fun post-church gathering of hungry souls.

    Café Lift was a solid and enjoyable brunch stop in downtown Haddonfield…read more We stopped in for a mid-morning brunch on a Monday and were seated right away. The space is clean, modern, and welcoming, and the staff was genuinely pleasant from the start. Julian, our server, greeted us promptly, got coffee on the table quickly, and kept everything moving smoothly. In addition to standard coffee, they offer craft espresso-bar style drinks, which is a nice touch whether you are there for breakfast or brunch. The restaurant also has outdoor seating, not ideal in December, but it would be great in warmer weather for people-watching along Haddonfield's main street. The menu has plenty of options, and I went with the fennel sausage frittata with roasted potatoes and bacon. It was hearty and well executed, the bacon was crisp, the potatoes were crunchy, and the portion was generous enough that I could not finish it. My wife ordered the green goddess roll, which she really enjoyed, though her potatoes came out cold while mine were hot, the only real miss of the visit. We also shared a bowl of lentil soup, which was perfect for a cool day and a nice surprise on a brunch menu. This spot works well for weekdays or weekends, breakfast or brunch, and it does get busy, so reservations are a good idea or be prepared to wait with a coffee. Pricing felt very reasonable for the area, and overall it was a good stop we would happily return to.

    I love trying new restaurants and have had this place on my radar for a while…read more We decided on a whim to try them on a Saturday night in the summer. We got right in with no wait. There was live music in the main dining room consisting of one singer singing Latin music. We were each given a tablet with the menu, which was pretty awesome. It took us a long time to decide what we wanted because we were enthralled by the extensive menu with all of the photos on the tablet. I decided to order a cocktail and my husband got the horchata while my mom got an unsweetened iced tea. They have a full bar with a ton of specialty drinks. My drink arrived with flower petals adorned to the side of the glass. We also received complimentary chips with salsa and salsa verde. As an appetizer we decided to do the taquitos. I love taquitos so I was excited, and the presentation was great. However when we bit into them we noticed they were just pieces of chicken breast rolled in tortillas and fried. No seasoning. No cheese, nothing mixed in. I was surprised. The taquitos I've had in the past are made with shredded chicken and potatoes with cheese. These were lacking flavor and dry. I wanted to love them so much but I just couldn't. For our entrees, I did the chimichanga mixto which was a chicken and beef chimichanga. They were on the smaller side but plenty for one person. The filling was mixed with salsa but again felt bland. They were serviced with a side of rice. My mom got the pina loka, which was grilled shrimp, chicken, and steak with onions and peppers inside a pineapple. Hers was very good. My husband got the La Jeño mix which had chicken shrimp and steak with cheese sauce, rice, and veggies. The flavor of his was pretty good as well. We skipped dessert, but the menu was extensive with all your Mexican favorites plus items like chicken parm. They also have a full breakfast menu. The music was very loud for the small dining area if you wanted to have a conversation, but the singer was doing his thing. We made sure to tip him on our way out.
