    I have been to other First Watches in Naples and Orlando and was extremely pleased with my food ( quality and quantity) but not this time. Though the quality was good the quantity was not. My egg white omelette supposed to be 3 eggs was very thin doubt it was 3 whites. Service was good place was clean. Ample parking and handicap accessible. CIAO FOR NOW

    I had this breakfast place in Miami and wanted to try it again. It was amazing! One of the best french toasts I've ever had. The staff is great and very kind. Ambience is also great.

    Seasonal entree

    Came here with lunch with my friends, I ordered something off of the seasonal menu, and then also the blackberry bramble sangria. The sangria was not good, in that it did not taste as if there was any champagne or sugar in the concoction. The weight staff was super nice service was very fast. The ambience is just your typical Sunday brunch dinner with family and friends. We didn't have to wait at all, we showed up around 10 or 11 AM on a Sunday morning.

    Compliments to the chef for helping my vision come to reality with a very high maintenance order. Chimichurri steak and egg hash Scrambled No peppers No onions No potatoes No pickled peppers Add chicken sausage Add avacado Mix into the hash Trying to watch my carbs where I can. I don't mind spending the extra money so thanks for making it available.

    I've been going to First Watch for years, and it never disappoints. The service is always fast and attentive, and the food is consistently so, so yummy. The Farmhouse Skillet Hash has to be my favorite thing on the menu, especially when the potatoes come out extra crispy. Highly recommend for a reliable and delicious breakfast or brunch spot!

    Did someone say breakfast for the birthday girl? Yes, that's me . . . I took a little time out from preparing for Hurricane Milton to have a little breakfast with my sister's friends. The food and service are always great, and today's visit was no different. We were seated right away, and the waiter was very accommodating and engaged in conversations throughout breakfast. I ordered my usual trifecta for breakfast, but I chose French toast instead of toast or a pancake because it was my birthday. Yay! to another year around the sun!!

    Started off with the bottomless hot coffee, the spiked lavender tea and spiked pomegranate tea I got scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon, artisan wheat bread and potato's, which were a little underdone but still good. Club sandwich with a side salad Our server, Anna, was friendly and made great suggestions.

    The hostess was so friendly and she gave me two compliments but this review is not biased at all, even though I blushed a little. We were seated promptly. Our server was amazing and he was all smiles. I ordered the trifecta (Waffles, sausage, scrambled eggs) and my aunt ordered the hash with ovocados and bacon). First of all my blackberry lemonade was magnificent, chefs kiss and the other highlight of my meal was the blueberry sauce for my waffle (oh my) it was very sweet and sumptuous. My aunt used some to put on her toast instead of asking for jam and she enjoyed it. I'll be back soon first watch.

    I always have a great experience at this First Watch. It's clean and the service is fast. It's fast enough to get in and out for lunch when you only have an hour. I tend to order the healthier options, I had the turkey omelette this time, but i do love their Floridian French toast. Great service. Highly recommend. There's plenty of parking in the shopping center.

    Our waitress was the sweetest! So attentive and positive. As usual the food is always fresh and yummy. I hadn't tried this location yet, but I enjoyed the ambiance including the little plaza that it is located in. I ordered the steel cut oatmeal. Everything tasted perfect. Loved the bananas, strawberries, pecans, brown sugar and milk on the side. Their hot grilled blueberry muffin was a special treat.

    Food 5/5: I ordered one of their specials, which is a Carna Sada, with potatoes and eggs and pickled onions and Shishido peppers. This dish was amazing! The beef was seasoned perfectly and cooked well, the pickled onions gave a great contrast to the heaviness of the dish. The eggs were cooked perfectly. The potatoes were crispy. And the sheet peppers were nice and crisp, and added a nice spice component to the dish. Highly recommend trying the special if they still have it. Service 3/5: hostess were rude. There was no one there, but they were still giving me a little bit of a hard time. The server was ok. She didn't really check up on me. She just dropped off the food and never came back. Atmosphere 5/5: it is a slightly nicer breakfast place. Everything seems clean. You can definitely dress casually. Today was not crowded, but can get really crowded.

    The Traditional Breakfast
    Denise S.

    Went classic with the traditional breakfast and upgraded to their new millionaire potatoes. Potatoes were delicious. The cream sauce that was used was so flavorful and yummy! Bacon came out nice and crispy while the poached eggs were a tad under done. The server was so fun and personable that he made the experience even that much better.

    Biscuits and Turkey Sausage Gravy with Eggs yummy

For my coffee I got the specialty spring break in Tokyo, iced which was a nice light refreshing drink that I thoroughly enjoyed but the menu has a lot of options which makes it really hard to pick. The boutique items while few are super cute, from clothes to cat clips, pins, stickers and jewelry, definitely a lot of fun to dig through. For seating they have a good amount of seating, but the place does get filled up quick. There is also very little parking right infront but there is overflow parking in the lot next door.

You'd never guess busy Fowler Avenue and all those shiny new businesses are just steps away. This is free-spirited, relaxing and zen. You can study here, chill-out and reset. It's colorful and very sunny, but it would also be the snuggliest place to sit while it's raining and just sip away and read. There are so many drink and food options here. I had the pistachio matcha with strawberry cold foam and a spinach/feta pastry. Both were good choices. You can order at the register or from a QR code and they'll call you to come get it. It's so casual and laid back. This adorable hangout would melt away any work frazzles I could possible walk in with. I love the low ceilings and the vintage hardwood floors and the slouchy couch and the eastern light streaming in the front window of this older, repurposed home. There's original artwork everywhere, including the ceiling (some of it's for sale). There's also a rack of clothing items, jewelry, scrunchies and other items for sale. I love the eclectic vibe-and the guitar propped up by the front window. Phoebe could definitely sing "Smelly Cat" here. Heck, they're so welcoming here, Ross could probably set up his keyboard and share "the sound." They DO have live music here-and a side patio. There's some parking up front and extra parking in back. And the service is friendly. I'm so glad I found this spot. I'll be back to try the apple fritter croissant and soak up more relaxation. Happy days from Felicitous!

    Apparently, the Dapper Doughnuts-Tampa location is now permanently closed…read more This comes as a shock since Dapper Doughnuts offers an interesting take and concept on the leavened fried dough. Considering myself to be a doughnut connoisseur of sorts, the idea of mini doughnuts has always presented itself in a playful and "not-to-be-taken seriously" manner. What I mean is that I feel you get more enjoyment-per-bite capita with the larger donuts based on the available surface area and fried dough real estate. Dapper Doughnuts appears to capture the spirit of Ed Anderson and Lil' Orbits, reenergizing Hostess Donettes, while bringing the Duck Donuts production line into the fold. The end product is a freshly made and customized mini-doughnut that melts in your mouth, proving that the mini-doughnut can stand its ground amongst its giant cousins. Their menu boasted a healthy selection of doughnut varietals, while offering drinks to pair. There were definitely some favorites amongst these gourmet doughnuts, but all-in-all they were all reliable when it came to tastes and satisfaction. I feel that I was finally able to write this review after going to Dapper Doughtnuts a couple of times - unfortunately, it seems that it has come a bit too late. Dapper Doughnuts sits in the University Collection plaza along Fowler Avenue, which is a convenient location for various retail stores and restaurants. Best wishes to the future of the company, and hopefully they can make their return to the larger doughnut market!
