    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)!

    Had a great breakfast at First Watch on a rainy Saturday morning around 9:00 am with no wait to be seated. Our waiter applauded my bold choice of the breakfast burrito so I knew I was in for a treat. My wife and I enjoyed some fresh specialty juices with our coffee. Mine was apple kale and my wife got the morning sunrise, both were great. The breakfast burrito had great barbacoa in it and a really nice consistency of potato's and eggs. If I were to order it again I would have taken the sauce on the side as it was a bit salty and relied on the avocado to do its magic. My wife greatly enjoyed her salmon eggs Benedict as well. All dishes had nice presentation as well for a fun brunch experience. Our waiter Joseph was friendly and attentive!

    Finally, good biscuits and gravy on the Main Line. Fast, friendly service. If they get busy, don't be uptight, a good meal is on the way.

    This restaurant could be a favorite. The food is great, but the kitchen is too slow and it's way too noisy. Up to 100 dc.

Unfortunately, since the recent staff turnover, the quality and consistency have gone downhill significantly. My drink now seems to taste different almost every time I order it, even though I order the same thing. Instructions aren't consistently followed, and on my most recent visits my latte wasn't even filled to the top of the cup. When you're paying over $8 for a latte, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect the cup to be full and the drink to be made consistently. What has bothered me most is that on occasions when I haven't left a tip at the counter, I've felt like the quality or care put into my drink was noticeably different. I obviously can't say whether that is intentional, but as a customer, I should never leave feeling that way. A tip is optional and should never determine the quality of the product someone has already paid for. I really hope the owner sees this and provides the newer staff with more training on recipes, consistency, customer instructions, and service. I was a loyal customer who truly loved this place and told so many about it, but after repeatedly paying premium prices for inconsistent drinks, I've decided I won't be returning. It's unfortunate because I never thought I'd feel that way about a coffee shop I once considered my favorite. Goodbye!

I'd go again to try other items from their menu and support this family owned business.

I enjoyed my dalgona coffee while watching the kdrama that was on. I've never been here so I wanted to try a few things, I got the Mul Naengmyeon and a Jeyuk Quesadilla. The soup was refreshing; I've had something similar before and enjoyed the chewy noodles and savory broth. The quesadilla had good flavor but was very greasy. I was able to eat about half using chopsticks to eat the filling out of the tortilla. Service was average. I really enjoy the overall vibe of the eatery and would like to come back with friends and maybe try the tteokbokki. Is on the pricier side for three items, I paid $49. Still very cute and would recommend though!
