    Sunrise Granola Bowl and AM Superfoods Bowl with unwanted utensils
    Rachel E.

    This location is a short walk from my apartment building and I walk past it all the time to get to Starbucks, but I haven't ordered from here in a couple years after a really bad take-out experience. I decided to try again, but unfortunately it was another bad experience. I placed my order online for pick-up and then walked over. My order was ready on time and the employee at the front podium was very nice. When I got home though, I realized half my order was missing. Two of four items left out! I ordered the Sunrise Granola Bowl (a fruit and yogurt parfait), which is supposed to come with "a freshly baked muffin of the day" and the AM Superfoods Bowl (a chia pudding), which is supposed to come with "whole grain artisan toast with almond butter and Maldon sea salt." Well, I got the yogurt parfait and the chia pudding, but no muffin and no almond butter toast. I absolutely would not have paid $10.99 for a yogurt parfait on its own had it not included the muffin. And the chia pudding was priced even higher at $12.99, I assume at least in part because almond butter is pretty expensive these days. But with half my order missing, this was a terrible value. And yes, I probably should have checked the bag before I got home to make sure my order was correct, but on the other hand, should I have to? Also, not as big of an issue but still a major pet peeve of mine: I made sure the checkbox for including cutlery and napkins was NOT checked, but they included two sets of plastic cutlery anyway. It's just wasteful to include the extra plastic when the customer has not asked for it. Why have the check-box with the option to not get it if you're just going to throw it in with every order anyway? So I got half the food and twice the plastic waste I was supposed to get. And next time I'm on my way to Starbucks, I'll just keep walking past.

    Breakfast time!

    The service was super fast and pleasant and the food was delicious But It was freezing We could feel the cold air which made it a bit uncomfortable. I forgot to keep pictures because I was ready to eat! Overall a great spot. I'll come back soon.

    Mushroom-Onion-Cheddar Omelette-Grits-Biscuit
    Joseph S.

    We went to First Watch last weekend, my friend had been many times, it was my first. It won't be my last. We arrived just before 9, and there were plenty of seats...... by 9:30, a line was forming. I was surprised how popular it was, until my breakfast arrived. I got an omelette with mushrooms, onions and cheddar - you can have them anyway you'd like. I then substituted my toast for biscuits - that's a no brainer, and ordered homemade grits, instead of the home fries. The omelette was delicious, cooked perfectly! The biscuits, recommended by my friend, were light and flaky with a wonderful buttery taste. The grits were also recommended and they were superb - my friend's from Atlanta-need I say more. The grits and biscuits are a must order, regardless of your main dish. We will be returning to First Watch.....very soon!

    Quinoa power bowl
    Ashley K.

    Have not been to first watch in 2 years. Wait time was OK. Our server was nice, but no utensils were given until the food came out. Didn't even think about giving us water until we asked. I ordered the quinoa power bowl which was good, but their lemon ricotta pancakes weren't that great. We've had better.

    Overcooked egg's Benedict
    Carrie S.

    I wasn't super thrilled with the food. The service was great. They were very friendly and accommodating. I ordered the Florentine eggs Benedict. The hollandaise sauce was delicious but cold. One egg was runny and the other was overcooked. It was a good sized portion. The ciabatta bread was soft and fresh. The greens on the side were fresh and dressed well. The menu said free refills on the ice tea but I was charged for two. So $6.99 for two teas. Not sure what that was all about. I do have to say that I had one little issue and told the server. She was very apologetic and said she'd tell the manager. I'm not mentioning specifics here because I'm sure it's going to be taken care of. I liked how they reacted and were genuinely apologetic.

    The Works omelet
    Ji B.

    Nothing to complain about, but nothing super spectacular either. Ordered The Works (omelet) and it tasted like any other omelet. The thing that was memorable was the bread that came with it - so well buttered and flavorful!

    Smoked salmon eggs benedict (with potatoes)
    Anna S.

    This is one of the must-try brunch places in Philly area. I was surprised that they have "smoked salmon version" of egg benedict and the lemon dressing on top of my eggs were ON POINT!! The downside about this place was their drinks. They didn't offer freshly freshly squeezed juice at here, they only had bottled juice options. I love the fact that this place listed out all their ingredients and calories for each dish on their menu! If you need to watch out for your calories intake, this place is for you to go for having a nice treat to yourself while you are on diet! I will come back this place in the near future to try their other dishes (really curious about how their "million bacons" taste like)!

    I enjoy eating here. However, it gets extremely crowded and the wait to finally get one's food is too long.

I had the BLT with avocado and every part of the meal was excellent. The toasty bread was crisp and had a really nice texture; the egg was cooked just how I asked; the bacon a perfect balance of crisp and chewy. I asked for an extra side of avocado (I'm all about getting my fiber) and it arrived at the peak of perfect ripeness. The home fries were tender and savory. Also my cappuccino was delicious. The dining area was very clean and had a faintly rustic feel. The bathroom was also sparkling clean. I was in and out in less than 40 minutes, too, but never felt rushed. There were plenty of vegetarian options. I'm not too sure about it if you have to avoid dairy or gluten; the menu has a lot of that. Handicap access was pretty good: no steps to get in and out of the place. Honestly I can't wait to visit here again!

She gave great recommendations and made the experience even better. Interestingly, both visits we had the same server, and she was consistently kind and welcoming each time. Food: 8/10 The food was very good. On my first visit, I wasn't a huge fan, but the second time was much better. The eggs were cooked perfectly, and my friend really enjoyed her meal as well. I would definitely recommend the food. Ambiance: 8/10 The restaurant has a cozy feel. It's a small space, so it can get a bit loud when it fills up, but the bathroom was very clean, which I appreciated. Overall Experience: A- Great food and a great experience overall. If you're looking for a quick breakfast spot with family or friends, this is a perfect choice. The staff is friendly, the food is good, and the atmosphere is cozy.

Pretty good place to study/work as well, they have two large table, a handful of small tables, and a bar section. On my recent visit in July 2026 it looks like they limit their wifi to 2 hours on the weekends and 4 hours on weekdays (sad to see since I don't remember this being a thing a couple years ago, but makes sense because they seem to be a lot busier now).
