    I've met friends here a couple of times, and have to say, what an upgrade to the former Paneras's! The open concept and bright lighting are very welcoming. They also offer a Juice bar and alcoholic beverages, located at the bar area. The menu offers plenty of options, from omelets and frittatas to bowls, salads, and sandwiches. Plenty of beverage choices abound from fresh-squeezed juices to coffees, teas, and Coke-products. I personally enjoy the Project Sunrise coffee. While I don't call myself a coffee snob, I do enjoy good-tasting roasts. I've ordered the Power Wrap under "The Healthier Side" of the menu. I appreciate the egg whites as the base and the combo of spinach, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes and mozzarella. The entree includes a small dish of house-made pico de gallo (a little amount, IMO) and a dish of fresh fruit (plus I liberally sprinkled some Cholula hot sauce on it). The flavors melded and amount was just right to satisfy and not feel stuffed. Our service was solid. Seating is an assortment of tables and booths, with seating outside as an option. I am happy to add this location as an option for meeting friends for breakfast.

    By far the best location I've visited. The staff here have great energy! They are so friendly and attentive. Our server, I believe her name was Michelle was amazing. It was like she was psychic, she knew exactly what we needed before we even asked. The host saw me walking up and came to hold the door open for me. The manager stopped by to check in after we received our entrees. From beginning to end the service was impressive. So glad to have this new addition in our neighborhood and will make this location a frequent trip.

    I'm always a big fan of First Watch and it remains consistent! This was my first time at this location and I was instantly struck by how open and beautiful the inside is! We came at prime brunch time on Sunday, yet still were able to get seated quickly and food came out quickly as well. They recently made some menu changes, but many items still are on there. Our server was attentive and very helpful with modifications/requests/etc. Overall it was a great brunch experience!

    These are some of the menu items that are a hit !

    I really enjoy this First Watch location, it's spacious with plenty of seating and a great inside/outside bar area that adds a nice touch. I usually go for the Power Breakfast Bowl, but this time I tried the Pesto Chicken Power Bowl, and both are absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The food is consistently fresh and satisfying, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. Definitely one of my favorite spots for a quick brunch!

    Many gluten free options! I've been here a couple of times recently and had a good experience each time. We were warmly greeted at the door and sat immediately on our most recent visit. I was told the allergies are listed when you scan the qr code on the regular menu, which was a little unclear so I just asked if the bacado omelet was gf and it was. I appreciated that the omlete wasn't over cooked. It was a nice mix of bacon, cheese, avocado and sour cream. The gf bread was the norm texture wise and I didnt try the jam provided but it smelled tasty. The lemon vinegarette side salad is a tasty, light option. The servers have all been friendly, knowledgeable and have double checked on any gluten free questions if they didn't know offhand. The speed of service has been great each time and we will return!

    A new First Watch popped up in Winter Springs this year! I've been here a couple times already on a weekday for brunch. Parking is tight in this plaza so you may have to search for a spot. Feel like you need a pick me up? Choose from healthy drinks, coffee, and alcoholic beverages. Sip on your beverage within the open floor plan or they even have a bar. The bar is a nice addition if you're solo and want to get in and out! Food and service is consistent. I like to order the omelets and you can get a salad and gluten free bread. They have a kids menu here too, so it really has something for everyone. This First Watch will be on my list of go-to brunch spots close to my house!

    Recently visited the brand new First Watch in Winter Springs. I love that their menu now includes brunch cocktails! I enjoyed the smoked salmon frittata with dressed greens- one of their regular menu items. My only complaint is that parking is cramped in this small plaza that also has a Publix.

    I love the vibe inside. It's rustic and very nicely decorated. The food is good and the servers are nice. It also doesn't take very long for the food to come out. If they could improve on anything, it would be adding more of the menu items to the online ordering menu. Specifically the eggs Benedict. I love the different types of eggs Benedict they have. My favorite is the BLT.

    This was my second time coming to this location and we were not disappointed. Yesterday was my daughter's birthday and the food was fantastic. Their menu has enough for everyone in your party to choose from and their prompt staff will make your experience fantastic. The restaurant is always neat and clean, this isn't an IHOP of Waffle House. 5 for my 2nd trip through, great job!

The food was just as good as I remembered from a few years ago. It can be difficult to find consistency in restaurants these days, so I really appreciate that the quality hasn't changed. It's nice to have a spot like Sourdough to add variety to the rotation of mostly American breakfast spots. I ordered the Sourdough Bread Plate, which is a large portion. Even though it's listed on the lunch menu, I was still able to order it for breakfast. Their bread is incredible, and everything tasted so fresh! The ezme is a wonderful addition to add to the avocado and labneh toasts. I also tried the Turkish coffee, but as someone who doesn't drink black coffee, it wasn't quite for me. I would recommend it mainly to those who enjoy strong, black coffee, though it was a nice touch that it came with a Turkish delight! My only minor critique is that the staff weren't around very much. Our server checked in on us once, and after waiting a bit for someone to bring the check, we eventually just walked up to the counter to pay. Nonetheless, everyone was very friendly!

The turkish coffee was also strong for how small the cup was, with a little turkish delight to take the edge off. The bacon was beef, which was nice. Overall, the food was delicious. However, the service wasn't the best, there was about 3 customers in the restaurant when I went, but the server left all of us when we had to pay, leaving all of us to stand in a line waiting to pay. For a weekday, that felt a little odd. I think the food definitely makes up for it.

I really love the decor and space, it's definitely a spot I could see myself eating and working from. The service was also great, though there was a bit of a confusion with my Strawberry Matcha drink. Instead of getting Strawberry Matcha, I ended up with Lavender Matcha. I had thought they were saying it was a Lavender foam that goes on top (I've never had the drinks here before, so I thought this was part of the drink as I had said I wanted the drink as is). I'm also soft spoken, so they might have not heard that part. After I noticed the drink was just green I asked about it, and while they wanted to correct it to Strawberry Matcha, the drink was already made and I really felt bad having them make another drink (plus I love matcha, I'll have it any way!). I did get a strawberry syrup, so I ended up with a Lavender and Strawberry Matcha, which I now call the Hanny Special. :D I will go back again to just try the Strawberry Matcha drink though! Anyways, I did end up getting the egg avocado toast. Looking at the menu, I thought the sandwiches and toast were a bit pricey. I don't think I've ever had avocado toast that was about $11, but after it came out I understood the pricing...the egg avocado toast was big with generous toppings! And it was sooooo good!

Definitely some tasty chicken. I really liked the slaw that had garlic onions celery and some other items but it cut through the savoriness of the chicken. Yes, i ate all of it to the bone. Wife also got chicken and waffles which she thoroughly enjoyed. Also had fried banana peppers with a pimento spread. Pretty nice combination. Staff was super helpful. They also have wings with a lot of great sauces to try. That will be my order for next time. Cant wait to come back.

However, they have plenty of outdoor seating that's perfect for hanging out with friends on a Sunday morning. Literally one of my favorite spots. Thank you Buttermilk for being THAT girl.

    I have been a Buttermilk Bakery fan for well over a decade. Until this last weekend…read more I got online at 8:15 in the morning to place my order. Each item that I selected came up with a message that read, "Our store is not currently accepting orders." I tried again a few minutes later. Then again. And again. And again. I tried to call and received a voicemail that stated a different number. At 8:50am, the option to order seemed to be back up and running. I ordered five items, including the Roasted Tomatoes & Goat Cheese Quiche. For context: I live 45 minutes away from Buttermilk Bakery. It used to be on my way to work but, as of a few years ago, that is not the case anymore. So, it is now a special occasion destination. Reserved only for weekends when I can make the trip. More context: I have been raving to one of my closet friends for years about how much I love this place. My most emphatic musings have been about the quiche. Today, since she and I were planning an afternoon poolside, I thought that I would surprise her with an assortment of Viennoiserie and other items. At 10:36am, I received a call from Buttermilk. The woman on the phone informed me that they had run out of the quiche. How?!? Once the website was working, I was able to place my order quickly and the item didn't even read, "Low stock." I know that this is a small problem in a world full of large problems, but the thing that really set me off is that when I arrived at the store, the person in line in front of me asked for the Strawberry Buttermilk Pie. He was told that they were out of stock. He was pleasant in stating that there appeared to be slices in the refrigerator case. The girl behind the register told him that they were being held for online orders. When it was my turn, I stated that no one had held my slice of quiche. She blandly said, "I am sorry," and proceeded. I then stated that I was unhappy and had driven some distance. She asked if I would like something else. I responded that the person on the phone had simply told me that I would receive a refund. I then asked for the girl to check on my refund. She said it was not processed yet. So, I said that I would wait. She needed to ask for help to process the refund. She wasn't nasty to me, but she did not care one iota. My effort and subsequent inconvenience meant nothing. I wonder if my refund would even have been processed had I not asked. My friend and I thought the pastries that we received were fine, but she is fitness-minded and was hesitant to indulge in so many carbs without the rich protein that the quiche would have provided. And, yet, more context: This happened once before. With the quiche. Maybe a year ago. Though, that time, I believe it was a butternut squash quiche. My husband needed to be in the area, so he suggested that he pick-up at Buttermilk. When he arrived, he was told that there would be no quiche. No call. No nothing. He didn't think to ask for a refund and we never received one. That time, I simply thought, "Well, accidents happen." This time, I think that I received very shoddy service. I felt very disrespected. I felt unseen. I have loved this place, but I am so disappointed.
