    Food was yummy, service was good and the place was cute & clean. I would say though when we had to pay, they were doing this new thing with payment. Where you pay through the QR code and you have to put your card info in... that was excessive.

    They have some of the best hot chocolate around.

    We have visited two locations of this restaurant and both times food has been delicious and the vibe of the place was chill and upbeat. Neither place had TVs but had music playing. The drink options are very unique and worth trying. Spiked lavender lemonade was so smooth and yummy, I tried to recreate it and was no where near the same flavor. One time I got the chimichurri steak breakfast bowl, has lots of flavors that mix ver y well together. The other time I got the ham and guyuer sandwich and half a salad. Would definitely order that again. Both plates were plenty for me to take home and have leftovers later.

    Been here a couple times already, all times, the food and ambiance have been great! This location is clean and spacious enough to seat many families. Whenever we come, we have been immediately sat without wait. I will say.. they need more servers here. The service is ok ... when they get to you. Because each server has so many tables to attend to, it's "slow". The food does come faster than the time it takes someone to get your order and prep the table. Servers there are hit and miss .... some have been so busy they don't really come back to refill water.. Some are nice. Ordered a BLT Eggs Benedict this time and it was delish! the lemon dressing on the arugula.. *chefs kiss*. The hollandaise sauce makes the eggs benedict for sure!! delicious.

    Quieter location of first watch. Don't skip out on their juices. Great standard breakfast. Won't disappoint.

    Our sever was really amazing and great at her job! The ambiance has a great rustic vibe that I'm absolutely loving and enjoying! I had gotten the breakfast tacos and oh my goodness it was so delicious I almost wanted a second plate just for the tacos! Would come back again for sure!

    Our server Jackie was amazing She took great care of me and my wife she made the whole experience enjoyable. She was friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Even though the restaurant itself has some areas it could improve (like wait times and no Louisiana Hot Sauce, which I wish they had), Jackie really made the visit worth it. If you come here, ask for Jackie she'll make sure you're taken care of

    Million dollar sandwich

    We tried Gingerbread spice donuts at First Watch. Oh my goodness. If I were rich I'd have a chef who would have a bowl of these waiting for me every morning when I woke up. The short rib poutine was super flavorful. Tender meat and potatoes. The million dollar sandwich is legit. So big and full of all the goodness of a great breakfast.

    5 star......, 5 stars!?!?!?!?!?!?! Yes, 5 stars people! Its hard for me to give a perfect score but on this day, at this location, every single thing that mattered when going out to a restaurant was met. Customer service: Cleanliness: Attentiveness: Turn around time: Presentation: Quality and taste:

    Market hash 13.49
    Diana N.

    Market Skillet hash $13.49 - 2 eggs your way on top of potatoes with mushrooms, zucchini, shallots, red peppers, baby spinach, melted Mozzarella and herbed Goat cheese. Comes with toast and fruit. I got this bc i like the market veggie sandwich. Hash was pretty good. Lots of potatoes and veggies. Huge serving so I took half to go. Gingerbread spiced donut holes $5.99 - (holiday menu) comes with caramel toffee sauce & creme anglaise. These were good. Crispy on the outside, soft and cakey on the inside. Not too sweet. Came with about 12-13 donut holes so there were plenty. Took some to go. Sunny Seoul hash $13.99 - (holiday menu) shaved seared pork with kimchi, cheese, eggs, gochujang aioli. Bf enjoyed it,he struggled to finish it all. Regular coffee $3.69 - good typical house coffee. Kind of loud. Not sure if it's bc it's so open. Also I feel like the prices have increased. They used to be pretty reasonable, but now you're spending $14 for an entree (inflation everywhere though). Portions are generous at least.

    Chorizo scramble
    Ann P.

    We enjoyed our brunch here! Have been to the Sugar Land location and enjoyed their food as well. This was our first time at the Richmond location and overall felt the level of service and food to be comparable. We waited only a few minutes to be seated mid-morning on a Saturday. The waitress who seated us offered us coffee straight away which was much appreciated! Our orders were taken promptly. We tried their new menu items birria quesadillas, chorizo scramble, and a kids chocolate chip pancake and bacon strips. They have a really great variety on the menu savory and sweet alike so I think it's a good choice for w group brunch! Sure to find something for everyone here. Our food had over a 25 min wait and only 2 items were brought out at first. The waiter forgot the syrup for the pancakes and my birrria quesadilla w eggs took another 10 min to get to the table. The food was overall enjoyable however I felt the hollandaise sauce on my poached eggs over the birria did not complement the quesadillas well. There's almost a sweet taste to it which wasn't my favorite but wasn't bad. Would ask for it without sauce next time. I'd rate the meal a 6/10. The other 2 entrees especially the scramble were much better, bacon extremely salty tho. We paid at the counter and left satisfied. Would definitely return and recommend for a nice casual brunch!

    Food was delicious and service was fast and prompt! Will definitely recommend this place for a nice quick breakfast! Coffee, water and all was on point! Will return again when in Texas!

We placed an order for five people and asked for water. After 20 minutes, our appetizer (the mixed sampler) arrived -- which was honestly the best part of the entire meal. Unfortunately, no plates, silverware, or drinks were provided, turning the night into a BYOS (bring your own silverware) and BYOD (bring your own drink) situation. Our main food arrived 36 minutes later, and it tasted like reheated, microwaved leftovers. The lamb gyro meat was extremely dry, like it was days old. The chicken curry tasted like plain chicken with tomato paste -- no depth or seasoning. The naan was barely reheated and still cold on one side. When we finally received our waters after the food was already delivered, it was warm tap water. To make matters worse, this was a $95 meal. At that price point, the quality and service were completely unacceptable. Paying nearly $100 for what felt like microwave leftovers was incredibly disappointing. I don't know if this was an off night, but our experience was not even close to worth the money and not deserving of even one star. The only redeeming part of the meal was the appetizer.

They even have some cute unique low sitting seats in the front of the store. When you walk in there's a large TV screen displaying their coffee and other drink options which immediately caught my attention. I asked the worker if he would recommend the vanilla brown sugar latte, and he replied that he had actually forgotten they even had that drink as an option which probably should've been my first red flag. He then proceeded to tell me that it was delicious, that he drank it all the time, and that I should try it. Unfortunately, it was indeed not delicious. It tasted more like watered down coffee without any flavor. I also ordered a dessert called Snicker which was supposed to replicate a Snickers bar. For me it didn't but the peanuts on top were good. They had plenty of other cakes and desserts on display that you could purchase or preorder that leads me to assume they are known for their cakes and not coffee.

I just wish it was a little bigger considering the price. It may make a lighter lunch or snack, but it really wasn't enough for dinner. I found the concept of choosing your own broth a bit exciting and a little daunting as well. Too many decisions; please don't add to my mental load. however they were really helpful at explaining what's what and even gave us a cup to sample the broths. We Liked the Dashi Shio and Tokyo Shoyu broths put together in the ramen with brisket. This is one of the very few places where I feel like you should drink most of the broth because it's that good and not overly salty. The kids got pho with noodles and dumplings (3) and the pho broth with a little bit of dashi shio broth. Neither of the kids ate much, so not sure if they didn't like it or they had too much snack earlier. They did gobble down the dumplings so those must have been good. The takoyaki was also pretty yummy and something I don't usually try. I got the peach honey oolong tea with popping lychee boba. I thought it was a little bit too sweet but that's partly my fault for not asking to customize it. I feel like my drink was good but nothing super special or unique. Overall, I really liked this place and I can see why people come in and just order the broth to go. Make your own noodles or dumplings at home and make it more filling. The broth is what shines here but it can be pricey if you're trying to get a whole meal in and not spend too much. I would end up buying a banh mi AND a soup AND a drink and spend like $25. I wish they had a lunch special or combo that has a half banh mi and half soup.

Instead of charging a fee for no ice, I just wish places would give the customer the option of either not filling to the top with no ice for free, or charging for no ice and filling to the top. There were a few other milk tea flavors that I'd be interested in trying. This place has good reviews and the boba scene is competitive, so I probably just picked the wrong drink. I did think it was cute and neat how they support local artists by allowing them to display and sell their stuff! Very community focused.
