    Stopped here after a run! Great service , good food & enough vegan options to satisfy. I had the chia seed pudding power fruit bowl & potatoes with a fresh squeezed watermelon juice to drink . Yum.

    We love First Watch, every one that we have been to is great, this place is no exception. Our server had a new trainee but service was still quick! I had the Pesto quinoa chicken bowl. It was a delicious mix of quinoa, kale, tomatoes, chicken, pesto sauce and feta. Nice! A blackberry tea to wash it down went very well too. Yup, it gets a big recommend!

    Food was good but waited 15 minutes for the drawer to open and it sucked. I was now late for work. I paid cash.....do not do that again. Loved the food though! But just received a "sorry" and here's for your next visit. Me: ok at least I got a BOGO or a free meal...nope! The manager gave me a five dollars off coupon. Great thanks that makes up for the 15 minutes that you made me late. Back to the food, though I really loved the food and it was very flavorful and I really appreciated the helpful waitress. I recommend this place as long as you're paying without using cash.

    This place is clean and cute. The staff are friendly and helpful. The menu selection and presentation is also good. We will definitely be back soon

    Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

    *This review is for a visit on 10/09/22* It's a Sunday so everywhere is expected to be packed for breakfast and/or brunch. I called in advance and asked about their wait time and they said 45 minutes which was completely fine with us since other places we tried were over an hour. I joined the online waitlist before we got there so that we would be 15 min in our wait time by the time we arrived. The only problem I had with this experience is that the wait time was definitely at least 1 hour 15 minutes instead of the 45 minutes that was told to us prior to us going. By the time we got seated, it was 12:00 and then it took another 15 minutes for the server to come around to get our orders. We were extremely patient and understanding given that it was a Sunday and this place was packed. By the time we got our food, we were super happy to finally eat and everything was delicious. I ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes which were unreal and so fluffy. I couldn't finish all of it but it was very good. The only other complaint is that the water glasses were a bit dirty so we did not drink water. We stuck to the coffee which was meh also. However, I would go back for the food alone.

    I didn't know this place existed until I happened to come across it on Yelp! I am Vietnamese and…read moregrew up eating Vietnamese meals, including delicious desserts. I'm so happy to have found this place ! You order at the counter and there is plenty of seating. I ordered the tri-color Vietnamese dessert called Chè Ba Mau, which translates literally to tri-color dessert. Chè is a traditional category of Vietnamese desserts that can range from sweet soups to puddings, and it often combines various beans, jellies, and fruits with coconut milk and shaved ice, traditionally. This particular one here consists of coconut milk, pandan agar jelly, red beans, and water chestnut coated in tapioca. The hubby ordered the grass jelly and coconut milk dessert. The grass jelly has a mild herbal depth and it is balanced beautifully by the smooth, lightly sweet coconut milk. Both are equally refreshing and sweet, with quality ingredients that really make it satisfying on a hot Tucson day. I absolutely will be returning here for future Vietnamese desserts!!

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 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!

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!

We have been coming here for over ten years, either as a couple or when my work has events. They can be a little pricy, but it is an amazing location with charm. There is interior and outside seating. You order at the counter with menus provided to review. You WILL be tempted by the pastries. It is mostly sandwiches and salads...and pastry. The drinks are soft drinks, teas and limited alcohol. Food is always well presented, and they do accommodate changes. Staff are friendly but also busy. Did I mention the charm, the adobe rooms have tables and the decor bring the experience together. It can be loud at times, but not overwhelming. Definitely visit, especially if doing the courthouse tour, the Presidio or Old Town shops, other hidden downtown gems.

    I love the art on the walls so much and glad I came around 9am ish in the summer when it's less…read morecrowded so I can easily walk around and look at all the art pieces. Lots of nature themed paintings and photographs. I also really like their patio. I had the smoked beet sandwich and replaced the goat cheese with extra pumpkin seed-pistachio- sesame spread to make it vegan. It comes with seasoned fries/ green salad with herb vinaigrette/ or today's side a vegan potato salad. I chose the green salad with herb vinaigrette and really appreciated it had some pumpkin seeds too. They also gave me a sample of the potato salad but I liked the other food I had better. My understanding is that they use frozen potatoes for the fries vs fresh ones but season them with a seasoning mix. The pumpkin seed-pistachio- sesame spread in the sandwich was called "tahini" on the menu but it seems like it was sesame seeds in it not ground tahini paste. The sandwich was really yummy and great for summer. Ordering the first round is at the bar counter but once you are seated after your first order you can order more from the staff. I hear that there is a line to order at the more popular times but there was not a line when I was there. They had lots of great looking baked good. One was vegan and gluten free. Great place to have food at while visiting the Tucson Museum of Art. They share a small free parking lot. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!
