    Haven't been to this First Watch in a while. My wife and I stopped by for breakfast. Food was fantastic and tasty. We both got the same thing different eggs. We both got the Tri-fecta with eggs, a Belgian waffle, and a really tasty chicken apple sausage patty. We also got a side of biscuits and gravy. The food here is a really good value for the money. Service was great as well. First watch is always a great go to.

    I love, love, love this place. Heather, Stephanie, and Chris took such good care of us even better if we were family. Our experience here today was incredible. My morning juice drink was great but my prosciutto egg arugula sandwich on crispy sourdough bread was Undeniable the best. Chris, the manager is awesome. The employees were fabulous. The place was clean, and energetic and is now my first watch favorite place.!!! I WOULD RECOMMEND

    I want to genuinely say thank you to Oscar and Emily for their hospitality and sweet customer service. We were at the Vet Clinic next door and while we had to wait for our turn we decided to sit in the outdoor patio area at First Watch to have lunch. The rain started to pour down, the electricity went out and they invited us inside even though I had my puppy with me. They both were very sweet and said this is the exception and we have a table right near the door for you to come in and enjoy your meals inside. This experience was proves there is still amazing customer service out there. Even though this is the furthest First Watch from me, I will gladly continue to bring my business here. Also, my lunch was perfect!

    Server was great, the food was good but could've been better. Our toast was super hard & my waffle was only luke warm again! Ugh. I love their food when it's warm, which is why we keep going back. Place was very clean inside and decor was cute.

    I went here for the first time to celebrate Mother's Day and the brunch was delicious! There are gluten free options and the portions are a decent size for what you're paying. My go-to breakfast is Eggs Benedict and there's did not disappoint. I also tried their Wild Berry Lavender French Toast, which was in edible flavorful. I ordered the Honey Caramel Crunch Iced Coffee, and while the cold foam was great, the coffee itself was over-sweet without a strong honey or caramel flavor. That is the only thing I tried that I would not recommend getting. Service took a while but that was because it was so busy and we still got our meals out fairly quickly. Overall, it's a quaint, modern brunch spot with a lot of interesting options!

    Under a 5 minute wait to be sat. Our waitress was prompted and had great suggestions from both the regular and seasonal menus. The food came out fast and tasted great. While we didn't have it this time around be sure to order the million dollar bacon. It's delicious! Parking at this location is easier than some of the other ones.

    Well, I tried this location today and was greatly pleased as expected. Great service, great menu, great food, ample portions, and competitive prices. I had the A.M. superfood bowl with almond butter toast. It's not easy being vegan, so this dish stands out as a great option. They don't even mention that it's vegan. It's a good-sized portion, but I could easily eat two of them also. A little kiddo at the table had a chocolate chip pancake with bacon. That looked delicious, too. I already hold this chain of restaurants at a high level, so I wasn't at all surprised to walk out happy and with my stomach full.

YUMMY! Their service is always great. Attentive and friendly servers. The ambiance is lovely as well- very welcoming, nicely decorated and a bright open space. The patio is quite large and dog friendly. One of the best brunch spots around- we look forward to coming back.

I wouldn't say that it is top of the line cooking, but it is very delicious and definitely worth a visit this side of town. Parking can be a little challenging, they do share a parking lot with other businesses, but close in, there are not that many spots. Service is always friendly and makes you feel comfortable. Interesting atmosphere with flamingos galore and other things decorating the inside. Gives it somewhat of a party and fun feel. Food comes out in a timely manner even when they are very busy. Prices are reasonable. Give it a try, I think you'll like it. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here.

Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

    Teaspoon is one of the best overall restaurants in Tucson…read more I've been here a few times over the last year or so. It has never disappointed in service, quality or taste. (well once in taste, but I'll get to that) They have great in-house made items. Like the Challa bread, the preserves, their pesto. They most certainly know what they're doing. I had unseasoned filet mignon once, I believe it was the omelette. I talked to the manager. Now I wasnt upset, didn't send it back, I just told them what I experienced and mused that I found it odd the cook forgot a simple thing like salt. The manager acknowledged my complaint and that was all; or at least I was fine. Nope, she came back with a to-go box of croissants topped with cream and berries as an apology. They were tremendous by the way. She didn't have to do that. The ambiance is it's only weak point, but even that is minor. Simple black is fine. It's modern feeling and doesn't stand out loudly. They have outdoor seating, which early in the morning is fine, but id avoid in the summer, which will likely mean you'll be waiting, depending on the time. Oh! I forgot to mention, they have very good drinks. They really are intentional about the blend of flavors, they have a little something for everyone. All in all, I cannot recommend this place enough. It's been a shining star amongst Tucson restaurants and I am grateful they exist. Even to how they organize their menu partly by flavor profiles shows they genuinely LOVE food. I love food too, and I love here. Try this place. Today.

As a whole, I feel like the side pairing of challah toast with jam and butter is an odd choice. I also ordered the iced Thai tea, which was quite weak. Overall--I wasn't really feeling it. When you go to Teaspoon, you're really paying for ambience over quality. There's no issue with the service here, from hosts to wait staff. The food is simply underwhelming, and thus so is the experience. I wouldn't be mad to return, but I don't know if this would ever be my suggestion.

    My favorite meal during our most recent trip to Tucson! And very dog friendly!!!…read more Big dog approved: We came with our large dog, and were able to sit with him on the patio. We came during May, when it starts to get warm, but he did well since there is a good amount of shade out on their patio and they provided a nice big water bowl for our special boy. The staff also were kind enough to move one of our chairs out of the way so our dog had lots of room to lay down. Staff were all very kind and never seemed annoyed with the dog (you can always tell at a restaurant if they are, and they were very happy to accommodate him). Very dog friendly!! The food: We gotta talk about their French onion soup. It was pretty dang delicious! The broth itself is quite nice, a nice cheese portion, and the baguette was divine. I also had their French Connection sandwich (with a side of fries), and it had a great combo of ooey, gooey cheese, firm and flavorful ham, and served on a really delicious loaf. Really solid fries, too. We didn't end up getting any drinks but saw several people ordering yummy looking bites. If (but likely when) we come back to Tucson, I'm making a point to return to Cup Cafe!
