    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!

    A delicatessen with a pickle bar?! Count me in! A must visit destination for me when visiting one…read moreof my besties in Philly. I've been for breakfast, lunch and dinner through the years. Their challah French toast is something I often think fondly of! They've always been super friendly, and this location may be older but kept clean. I would not just return, but suggest others to stop by in they are visiting the area!

    My partner had been to both Murray's Deli and Hymie's Deli in Ardmore. We wanted to have lunch…read moreafter an appointment, so I took a quick look on Yelp, and decided to go to Hymie's. It was packed - only a few tables were available at 12:30 on a Friday afternoon. We were immediately seated and looked over the menu. We decided to share a 1/2 Pastrami sandwich ( you can order 1/2 a sandwich ), 1/2 a Corned Beef sandwich, an order of Potato Latkes and we each had a small bowl of Chicken Matzo Ball soup. The soup was delicious - it was a little bowl with tiny shreds of carrots and chicken. The broth tasted very good, however, the matzo ball was a 'little' different. They were light and fluffy - but there was no texture or flavor at all....none. I would have thought the matzo balls would have absorbed some of the flavor from the soup, but it didn't. I finished the soup, but left the matzo ball. My partner likes pastrami over corned beef - she says it's a more 'peppery' flavor. While I probably prefer corned beef over pastrami because it's a leaner cut, my 'baseline' for pastrami is Katz's (NYC). I'm sure Katz's has great corned beef, but I've only had pastrami there - it's the best I've had. I thought my Corned Beef sandwich was excellent - it was lean, tender and very tasty. I squeeze out a little mound of mustard on my plate and dip. My partner thought her Pastrami sandwich was very good - it was also quite lean. I took a few bites of the pastrami, I thought my corned beef was tastier and had more texture. It almost seemed like they sliced the pastrami too thin. She liked her pastrami more than my corned beef - I suppose it's all a matter of individual taste. The Potato Latkes were delicious - especially with the applesauce! They were a little thicker than I might have preferred, possibly from either potato starch or matzo meal. However, there was a very nice potato taste and the thicker texture was fine. Of course, on the way out I saw a large selection of pasties and had to try a few! I got a few of the Rugelach and a Poppy Hamantash. The Rugelach were a disappointment - the interiors of all were very thick and doughy. I ate some of the exterior layers.....and left the rest. The Poppy Hamantash, on the other hand was one of the best I've had. It was by far the largest one I've ever had! As a result, there wasn't enough Mohn (poppy filling) for such a large pastry! The filling was very good as was the cookie (it was like 1/2 scone and 1/2 cookie)! Overall, Hymie's exceeded my expectations and I'll look forward to returning.
