    Farmhouse Hash
    Faye L.

    One of the top places for breakfast. Was really really good. If they still have it - it's worth trying the blueberry cornbread! All of our food was good. Came out hot and looked yummy.

    Went with family and their dogs so we sat out on the patio. Nice that they are dog friendly! Host was so nice and even asked to pet the dogs which we allowed cause they're good dogs! We had Cody as our server & he was so wonderful. I ordered the barbacoa breakfast tacos and iced coffee with oat milk. Tacos were delicious! Loved the iced coffee with oat milk- as a lactose intolerant person I appreciated that they had alternative milk for me. Parking lot had enough space for plenty of cars.

    Stopped at First Watch for breakfast with my husband, was seated right away. Troy was really friendly and made sure we had what we needed. Husband had biscuits and gravy, I had the Double Bacon Parmesan Hash, For me, the parmesan cream sauce was a little intense, but Troy went above and beyond to have the kitchen remake it without the sauce. T was perfect after that. The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere was friendly. Would recommend.

    We decided to go have Easter Breakfast at First Watch! We were unsure how long the weight would be done it was Easter! But right when we got there the sweet hostess sat us down and soon after our waitress came and talked about the menu and drinks! I got the morning meditation juice WAW IT'S AMAZING! My husband got the coconut pineapple juice they had and he said it was light and refreshing! As we sat and waited for our food, we loved the whole atmosphere, clean, upbeat, fresh it was a great experience! Or omelets were very tasty! He got the chili chorizo omelet and I got the bacon cheese omelet with pico and potatoes! Both were great and totally delicious I recommend both!! All in all it was a great breakfast!

    Absolutely delicious! They have their fall menu which includes pumpkin flavored breakfast items. I tried the pumpkin pancakes and I loved the subtle pumpkin taste. The blazing dragon is a new tea made of strawberry, lemon, cane sugar and dragon fruit. Service was amazing! A great location with indoor and outdoor seating.

    Ive always been a fan of first watch but its been a minute since I've gone, decided to use my birthday discount and check out the new location that opened on Campbell. Its so cute and wasn't busy at all compared to the one on river. The service was great and the food was amazing! I love their juices and almost anything I get is always a good choice! I got the market skillet hash and morning meditation and my son got the traditional breakfast with a watermelon refresher. I would definitely come back!

    Yummmmmmm

    We always have an awesome time at first watch! What I really appreciate about the restaurant is how clean it is. A lot of times when you go out for breakfast it can feel a little frenzied but there's just a calm open vibe that me and my family really appreciate. I always order something off the special menu, I can't quite remember what this one was called but it was a bacon sandwich that was delicious. The kids meals portions are very generous, and we always have a wonderful time! Service is efficient and kind. Will come back!

    I love the inventive food here. We usually hit this place for breakfast. This time service was pretty slow as our waiter didn't bring our requested water until we had to remind him and the same for our bill. We couldn't get anyone's attention-everyone passed us by without making eye contact like they didn't want to have to help anyone. That being said, I loved my food. The Million Dollar Bacon is wonderful. I had the Breakfast Tacos, my wife had the Peso Bowl and my daughter had two sides including biscuits and gravy and the Million Dollar Potatoes. Lots of food. All was good except for the aforementioned service but that won't stop me from returning one day.

    The Traditional no meats extra potatoes

    We got in & seated right away due to checking in on the app. However it took over 20 min for our server to come get our order from drinks. It was another 15 before we got to order and then about another 20 before we got our food. The quality wasn't that great either & I usually love first watch smh. My potatoes were burned when I wanted them a bit crispier.

    Good spot and was able to accommodate a large group for brunch. Our server was good and so was the food. Unfortunately a friend found some plastic wrap in her dish. I would return, but it's not my 1st choice for brunch in the area.

    A breakfast place you can always count on. For a chain, every First Watch I've ever been to does a great job of capturing a homey charm to the meal. Staff are always so kind and the service is usually pretty fast. A huge menu full of the classics as well as seasonal and trendier options if you want to branch out a bit. Although it doesn't have quite excitement of other breakfasts spots in Tucson, you will not be disappointed. Frittatas, hashes, pancakes, they've got it all and they're all solid.

    This place is wonderful, I have been coming to first watch on river for a long time and this was my first visit to the new location. I have always enjoyed the food no matter what I get but this was my first time trying a cocktail for brunch and the Cinnamon Toast Crunch drink is absolutely delicious. We had a very friendly and attentive server and overall an amazing experience the last few times we've been in!

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.

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.

(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.

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!
