    I cant believe I've never reviewed First Watch. I dont think I've ever had a bad meal at any First Watch. I prefer the solon location the best but have also tried the Macedonia location and one in the Cuyahoga Falls area as well and had good experiences there also. Prices are a little more then the small mom and pop greasy spoon breakfast places. Nothing wrong with those places and I can appreciate those restraunts at times also but you definitely are paying for quality here. Many different selections with fresh flavorful and healthy ingredients. I would reccomend first watch to anyone for breakfast, brunch or lunch. If you like avacodo toast it's very good here. Also for lunch their squash soup is also good.

    First watch is a nice little place, with great food. I always try their seasonal foods and have very rarely been disappointed. Try a first watch if you have one near you. The healthy drinks are always unique as well.

    Veggie skillet.

    This was thee best breakfast I have had in long time! The service was fast and phenomenal. The restaurant staff were cleaning and making sure everything was clean. I had the veggie skillet and it was piping hot and very flavorful. I had brioche toast as a add on and it was freshly baked and toasted. I can't wait to enjoy the food.

    Eggs Florentine. Absolutely delicious.

    Food and atmosphere were amazing as always. I know this place well because I visit often. People are kind and it's a joy to visit there. We joined the line electronically as I've done many times before. Leaving a bad review based on how rude and aggressive the hostess setting on the right hand side was (blonde hair, cast on right leg). She was condescending and rude on arrival, and literally cut me off midsentence. Ruined the day with family. Gentleman to her right with the white hair is the exact opposite (kind and polite). I don't ask a lot, but manners are the bare minimum if you want people to come back (Sunday, June 4). Please don't offer to contact me, I won't respond.

    Grits

    I stopped by this establishment before work and grabbed bacon and grits. This was not my first time here but it was my first time trying the "cheesy grits" the grits were so runny and clumpy with a whole bunch of unmelted cheese. Do not recommend

    A tons of brunch menus. Very recommended to visit. Foods come very fast and do not need to wait a long queue.

    We came to First Watch on Wednesday with the gals for breakfast. The hostess waited until all seven of us were present to seat us. This allowed us to catch up in pairs while we waited. We sat at two large tables pushed together. Adam was our server. He was very warm welcoming and attentive. He brought our table several coffee decaf and regular pitchers, along with water carfes to share. He handled our orders with ease. I had the Hibiscus Limeade to drink. It came with a lime and hibiscus leaf as garnish. It was very light and refreshing. Perfect for summertime! I ordered the Rainbow Toast, 2 eggs over easy, and a side of home potatoes. The Rainbow Toast is off the summer special menu. It is brioche toast smothered with Ricotta cheese, topped with a rainbow of fresh fruit, bunches of granola, then drizzled with honey. Blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, and mango are the juicy fresh fruit featured. It was a delightful representation of a summertime rainbow! The two eggs were basic diner food cooked right. The home potatoes were big golden chunks. They could have been more well-done. The decor was redone to be a sheek farm-table style. The new shelves and lighting were very attractive!

I chose the mint tea and my friend got the chamomile. We each received our own small tea pot that had its own chamber inside to steep the tea. The pots weren't decorative but they got the job done well and I liked that I didn't have to strain the tea myself. We were allowed to pick out our own teacup and saucer. For lunch, I tried the broccoli salad with potato soup and herbed bread. My friend got the broccoli cheese quiche and soup. My salad didn't have much dressing on it - I would have preferred more but I believe it was a premade salad. The soup was ok as well. She said her quiche was tasty. Unfortunately I forgot to grab pictures. I would rate the food 3/5 but the tea a 5/5. Overall, I think the tea house is a nice option considering there aren't many in the area and I'd try it again.
