    My first time at First Watch and it did not disappoint. Great vibes and a menu, that had something for everyone. I started with the Honey Caramel Crunch Iced Coffee, and wow... this was a treat. It's made with salted caramel and honey, topped with sweet cream cold foam and finished with toffee nut crumbles. Sweet but not too sweet, super smooth, and honestly the kind of iced coffee you sip and immediately think, "okay yes, this is happening today." If you like flavored coffee but don't want it to taste artificial, this is the move. For food, I went with the Farmhouse Hash, and it was exactly what I was craving. Two eggs any style (I went over easy) on top of seasoned potatoes with bacon, avocado, roasted onions and tomatoes, plus cheese. Everything was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. It's hearty without being too heavy, and the whole grain toast on the side was great for scooping up all the good stuff. Service was quick and genuinely friendly, which is always appreciated, especially during breakfast hours when places can get slammed. Food came out fast, drinks stayed full, and the staff was super pleasant. I look forward to coming back!

    I recently went to First Watch with a group of my co-workers for a lunch break, and once again I decided to branch out and try something new, the breakfast tacos and potatoes were amazing! & my mint mocha iced coffee was worth the battle in the bathroom later that evening! The menu is packed with great options I'd define recommend the million dollar bacon and home potatoes. Comfort food at its finest.

    3.75/5 overall. Used "Get in line" online but hostesses didn't seem to be familiar, still got 8 of us seated soon after arrival which was great. Liked the 2 carafes of water, disliked the baby cups lol. Pumpkin donuts (3/5 stars, $7) were sweet and warm with delicious cream and caramel sides but lacked pumpkin flavor. Maple croissant (3/5, $14) had yummy skillet potatoes, "million dollar bacon" , chicken sausage, egg and jalapeños but all were overpowered by the generous amount of jam. Wife enjoyed her biscuits and gravy, son enjoyed his pumpkin pancake breakfast, all others liked their food but were too hungry to take pics before eating (yes, they lost YelpDad cool points). Restrooms on site, plenty of parking, open dining room with indoor and outdoor seating. Service was fine, manger stopped by our table to make sure we had a good experience.

    Good spot for breakfast! Menu has something for everyone including a fit menu. I ordered a specialty coffee which was wildly sweet, but otherwise thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I got their breakfast taco special which was delicious. The pork was perfectly cooked and the toppings were plentiful.

    I owed my bestie for an unsavory wager that she surprised me on, so brunch it was! This place was packed, though the wait wasn't terrible. I was still somewhat recuperating from my shenanigans the night before, so I needed a little hair of the dog. The only problem is that they don't have a full bar. So no Irish coffee for me. I settled on the cinnamon toast milk, which is a lovely little concoction of coconut rum, oat milk and cold brew coffee. Yes, please, that's just what I need! Bestie has the spiked lavender lemonade and our souls are at rest. Brunch for this vegetarian bull is lemon ricotta pancakes while bestie has some kind of egg and meat entree. Everything was great up until the part where our waitress dropped off the check instead of us being able to order more drinks.

    This place is growing on me. This is the first time at this location, on a lunch date with my oldest son. Loved the bacon and avocado toast and eggs. I could've enjoyed just one piece of toast and would have been fine. The mountain of avocado wasn't expected, but it was appreciated. My son got the breakfast burrito and pancakes after seeing a plate go by. He immediately asked what it was, and said "I want that". The service was good, and event with the wait, it was completely fine. We ended up being seated within 10 minutes.

    Farmhouse hash + million dollar bacon

    TENS! TENS! TENS ACROSS THE BOARD. Atmosphere, price, food quality and service-wise. I can't even count how many times I've been to First Watch and I'm unashamed because everything is just that good. My go-to order is the Farm House Hash- eggs over easy with Artisan wheat toast. This dish is loaded with all of the goods: bacon, avocado, house roasted onions, cheddar, Monterey cheese and potatoes. I also like to get a side order of the infamous Million Dollar Bacon, which is guaranteed to make you want to order seconds. I fall guilty to it almost every single time. If you're thinking of stopping by First Watch, here are some things to be mindful of: Wait Time Typical wait time for First Watch is around 10-20 minutes on a normal day but be mindful of the weekend. The longest I've waited on a Saturday is around 30 minutes- First Watch also has the option to visit their website and join the waitlist of the location you'll be visiting which is super helpful. Large Parties I would recommend calling ahead to ensure the restaurant can accommodate your party, especially if you plan on visiting during the weekend. This place gets pretty busy! Every location from Chesapeake, Suffolk and Virginia Beach has been a hit. It's brunch season. Stop by soon!

    Great Sunday Brunch Spot! Was able to add our names to the waitlist before leaving church. Wait was quick, not the 45 mins that we expected. Staff were polite and helpful. It was our first time and the waitress did great going over the menu. Coffee was fresh and they gave me a whole pot for the table !! Ended up ordering the Trifecta with bacon and a waffle. I LOVED the waffles. My daughter had the Elevated egg sandwich which she loved. Definitely will add this place to our spots. Plus the bathroom was also clean.

    Love how the exposed pipes, very cool atmosphere! Very attentive, friendly service constantly coming around to refill coffee and water. Excellent selection of healthy food items, both sweet and savory!

    Decided to grab breakfast here. We have only been a couple on times on the weekend. This was a Friday and it was not crowded which was a nice surprise. Our waiter was very friendly and service was fast. The coffee is top notch and you get a carafe so no waiting on refills. The pancake was huge and I had to take half home. If you go on the weekend, be prepared for a very long wait. The only complaint was that it was rather chilly inside when we went.

    Service was great! The restaurant itself felt very cramped. Too many chairs and tables. Was difficult to walk around. Waiter was friendly and helpful. Food was good. Food came out fast.

    Food and juices IMMACULATE Seated quickly for large party Waiter wasn't the best - too sarcastic for the group

    Double crunch breakfast tacos!! Yummm

    Colattao Coffee House has been on my list of places to try for quite a while and since I was in the…read morearea, I definitely had to stop in. I swear, this is one of the most beautiful coffee shops I've ever been in. The ambiance was warm and inviting and I loved the chandeliers and decor. When you walk in, there's a QR code to scan to view the Full Menu, so I was able to look over the food and drink items while I waited in line. Once I knew what I wanted, I looked over all the pastries available on display! Everything looked delicious. Between the Cruffin and the Pistachio Tres Leches Cake, I couldn't choose which was more appetizing. I decided on the Strawberry Vanilla Matcha Latte, since I've been on my matcha kick and it didn't take long for it to be ready. I took my first sip and I was in heaven! My drink tasted perfect!!! I hate that Colattao is so far from me but it was definitely worth the drive! The next time I'm in the area, I will be stopping in and definitely trying one of the pastries!!!

    Really enjoyed my visit to Colattao Coffee House!…read more The staff was super friendly and personable, which made the experience even better. I got the matcha, and it was delicious!! The shop itself is so cute and Instagram-worthy--honestly, every corner is picture-worthy. It has such a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. I went on the weekend, and it was definitely busy, but the atmosphere was great. I also really like that they have designated no-laptop hours. With how busy the shop can get, I could see seating becoming almost nonexistent if people were staying for hours working. It was actually really nice to see people sitting around and having conversations instead of everyone being on their laptops. Overall, a cute and cozy coffee shop with great drinks, friendly staff, and a fun atmosphere. Definitely worth stopping by!

We both ordered the Bacon, Egg and Cheese on Croissant. First off, the drinks. The Blueberry Muffin Latte delivered exactly what it promised. It was creamy espresso with a hint of blueberry and a subtle muffin like sweetness. It wasn't overly sugary, and the blueberry didn't taste artificial. She aid it felt like a comforting hug in a mug. The Coconut Cream Cold Brew was fantastic. The cold brew had a nice boldness but wasn't bitter, and the coconut flavor was smooth and not overpowering. The cream added just the right amount of richness, making every sip refreshing and indulgent. If you like cold coffee drinks, this one's worth a try! Both of us ordered the Bacon, Egg and Cheese on Croissant, which came out perfect! I had my egg over medium, hers was overy easy. The croissant was perfectly buttery and crispy, and the bacon was thick-cut and flavorful. The eggs were fluffy, and the cheese melted just right. It was hearty enough for breakfast or brunch and paired so well with our drinks. They have a case filled with delicious looking pastries, which I must try next time. Service was friendly and quick, and the café itself had a relaxed vibe that made us want to linger. The vibe of it kind of reminded me of the rainforest cafe haha! We'll definitely be back.
