    First Watch is always a great spot for breakfast or brunch. Everything tastes fresh and the service is friendly and welcoming. I tried the turkey sausage wrap and it was absolutely delicious--perfectly cooked, flavorful, and very satisfying without feeling too heavy. You can really tell they use quality ingredients. Definitely a place I'll keep coming back to!

    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.

    FINALLY! This is the first time I've been to a First Watch and had across the board a wonderful experience. Sadly, the service at the other locations in town is just never good. But at this place, Jasmine knocked it out of the park! They were busy, but nothing took longer than expected. And everything was exactly how we ordered it. I have been off First Watch for quite a while, but this one? I think I may become a regular.

    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!

    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.

    Half sandwich and soup. Sandwich is the roast beef and havarti. Soup was vegetable.

    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.

The coffee is very good and reasonably priced; my favorite when it's warm (which is most of the time!) is the cold brew, which is smooth and rich without any acidic bite. The lattes are also excellent and super creative, and the matcha is good as well. Coffee Times also offers a variety of baked treats, including vegan pastries from Holden's Rise Above. Best of all, the service is personal, friendly, and super efficient considering how long the lines can be some mornings. The drive-thru is convenient, but even on days when I'm driving instead of stopping by in the middle of a long walk with my pup, I prefer to park and use the walk-up window if the weather is nice. The people who visit Coffee Times are almost as cool as the people who work there, and I frequently enjoy a chat (and, if I'm lucky, a doggie greeting) while I'm waiting. Oh, and my dogs assure me that the pup cups and treats are top notch :-) A Tucson institution that's definitely worth a visit!

A local coffee drive-through spot that's we're checking out. You can walk up, but mostly I do drive-through because it's very popular and very busy Recently. They opened a Dunkin' Donuts next-door so if you wanted to get a doughnut and then get coffee, I suppose you could but their pastries are pretty awesome and as of today, I learned they offer Tucson tamales. A really wonderful choice if you're wanting food instead of a pastry.

Unfortunately, the service felt a bit cold, no one acknowledged me, and the staff didn't seem very welcoming or engaged. I ordered an iced matcha latte, which came unsweetened. No one mentioned that ahead of time or pointed out where the sweeteners were, so I had to look around for them myself. The matcha had a nice flavor, but the texture was a bit grainy, suggesting it might not be the highest quality. Also, the bathrooms are located all the way in the back, and there isn't enough signage to guide you there easily. Overall, it has a lot of charm and a great location, but the customer experience could definitely be improved.

Half a dozen of our dancers descended on the place and they were already deep into the lunch crowd (around 11:30 a.m.) on a Sunday.

She then proceeded to kindly answer questions, take our orders, and followed up with us to make sure we had everything we needed. I wish I'd gotten her name but I did not, so hopefully whoever sees this can pass along compliments to management (I'm writing this on the same day as the visit)! As for the food and beverages, there were so many more options than I would have imagined at a smaller location like this. I got the horchata which was delicious, and then ordered a yogurt parfait from the breakfast menu and the Sonoran dog from the lunch menu. Thankfully they sell both breakfast and lunch menu items all day! The yogurt parfait was perfect, the yogurt was tasty and not too sweet, and the blueberries were plentiful along with a smattering of strawberries and great granola. The Sonoran dog came with chips and was appropriately topped, with plenty on it yet not so messy that I couldn't eat it. Of course you could not ask for a better environment in which to enjoy your food and drink, because what's more beautiful than the botanical gardens! It's really nice to have a quality restaurant inside a place like this because a lot of times it can be hard to find good food at a place where that's not the main attraction.
