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!

Tri-fecta

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!

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.

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.

Smoked Salmon Benedict Million Dollar Potatoes Mimosa

First watch is my favorite brunch place to eat. I have never had something I didn't like and it's always fresh and delicious. I tried something new this time around and while the price was a little high, the quality is worth it. I love that they were finally able to add cocktails to the menu to add even more fun options! The space is well spread out and I always feel like I have enough room, but still feels cozy. Our service was great and server was the right amount of attentive.

The Traditional, but with Egg whites instead of whole eggs.

There's a separate building you can buy local retail, as well as a café where I ordered a dirty Horchata (not realizing it had coffee lol), a sandwich with fries, and one of the baked desserts (a brownie with something I can't remember lol). All the food was great. As a french fry lover, I have to say that the fries were fantastic! Once you order, you're able to find a place to sit, and the food is brought to you. I would def return!

I was finally able to make it back to Coronet Cafe for breakfast and had another great experience…read more I love the outdoor seating, as it feels so quaint and peaceful. I also love that the menu strives to be locally sourced. The food is very fresh! The service from the counter is fairly fast, which was especially great for us, as we were short on time. This time ordered the Simply Eggy Breakfast. The marmalade was unique and the eggs were perfectly poached. The portions are standard, so there will likely be no leftovers. For the portions though, I would say the price is a little on the higher end. To finish my friend got a tahini brownie on the way out and we found it to be very pleasant and not overly sweet. I would love to try their coffees and teas!

The line was the usual long line and with my dog, was much better as people talk and pet dogs in line and it went fairly fast. The line was in shade with the nearby tree so it made it that much better. The ambiance is the misters around that are welcomed by all, the pretty tree and greenery and fencing and signage they have used to decorate this small outdoor place so well. The shaded and covered tables outside had various chairs and enough space for people to rotate in and out- esp with our dogs that love the cool brick to lie on:) Now, the absolute best part is the food- still amazingly worth waiting for and delicious!! I got the burrito( basic has potato, egg, beans , cheese) and the protein I added was bacon and extra was guac. Also got the 16oz Dirty Chai. My friend came for first time and was surprised to open her order and find two burritos- I knew and wanted to see her face- she loved the taste and the fact she had lunch or dinner later as one truly is so full of deliciousness- it fills you up! We each had one we took home ! This place- just a treat for anyone wanting fantastic and pure local service and food! Highly recommend!!!

Nice restaurant. Been here a few times, some with colleagues for lunch…read more Food is good. I've had a variety of things, some Mexican dishes, some American. Did a breakfast once. 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. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. 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.

Service was super fast one we got a table. Came on a Saturday at noon and the place was still…read morecrowded. They have breakfast all day but also provide lunch so everyone is happy. There is outdoor seating with small tables and misters to stay cool. The inside has a good amount of space and A/C is on spot. There is also a bar with a good number of seats available. This might be first come first served but I am not totally sure. The food is a really good spread of options. Pancakes, german pancakes, french toast, eggs benedict(s) monte cristo, omelets, croque madame, country chicken with biscuits and sausage gravy, chilaquiles con pollo, avocado toast, savory crepe, and even a breakfast pizza. Oh and they offer a few skillet options too-southwest, loaded baked potato, and sausage and peppers skillet. So many options!! I can't speak too much for lunch but I did see burgers on the menu. Not too helpful in that arena sorry. The eggs Benedict with ham was awesome. Side of potatoes with a bit of all seasoning and a side salad with awesome light dressing comes with it. The dutch baby was also great. A german pancake served savory with sausage. Huge portion. Come check this place out and make sure if you don't want to wait you call in advance when driving there and ask to get on their "wait list" you may not be able to get a reservation but you can do this. You're welcome.

Wow! I was blown away. New American is my favorite cuisine and Cup Cafe does not disappoint…read more I ordered the salmon caprese which was INCREDIBLE. Our waiter Keith gave a great recommendation. He said it was his favorite and I can see why. The salmon and asparagus were perfectly cooked. The Parmesan risotto was slight under and crunchy but the flavor was so good I didn't mind. My other two friends ordered the fish n chips and the tofu curry dish on the menu. I was pleasantly surprised that both of their dishes were good also. I took home a slice of the Bailey's chocolate mousse which was amazing. I got it last week and it was slightly different but still very good and I think I liked it even more this week. There were two things that were out so I will have to try them another time. I was still happy with what I got and would definitely come back!

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!
