Great food, great prices! I absolutely love this place! We have been regulars since the first time we tried it. Just like everywhere else when they are slammed, expect to wait, not long. When there isnt that many people in there of course everything comes out super fast! The prices are reasonable especially since it is HEALTHY. They have cage free eggs, arugula with lemon, fresh fruit, quinoa and much more! I havent had anything so far I havent liked and the portions are perfect size! If you cant afford to eat here then you need to stick to the Mcdonalds or Waffle House breakfast (very cheap and unhealthy). We love it and I could eat there for breakfast and lunch! It is definitely a better value than most of the breakfast spots in Destin so far! I have had the elevated egg sandwich, roast beef sandwich with half chicken avocado salad, power bowl with chicken and quinoa and the traditional breakfast. I still have a lot more to try just cant get unhooked from these items yet.

We enjoyed everything about our visit almost. If you need any more condiments, jam, sour cream, or sauces you had better hold your breath they had us waiting at every single turn. After we waited and waited for service we were then pressured to leave. The fig prosciutto toast was very very good, as was The Salmon Benedict, The Butternut squash Soup sublime. The Fresh juices were awesome to see in our area. We had the Beet root. We thought the prices were very quite reasonable for what you get. For a place who claims to be Farm to table and fresh and innovative they use the little half oz. Non dairy creamers for coffee and we must have opened 50 of them between us. We really just wanted half and half. The staff couldnt grasp our request for it. Too bad we were rushed...the coffee was awesome.

The wife and I really enjoy eating breakfast here....until the time we were seated by the kitchen entrance. Dont get me wrong here, the waiting staff is wonderful and the food is usually pretty good...but im not a big fan of watching a food prep guy with a glowing red goiter the size of a Penn tennis ball on his cheek touching his face with gloved hands while handling food and food surfaces. Kind of gave me the heebie jeebies...as I asked for only ice water after that. Not a bad idea business-wise to send Joseph Merrick home - PAID...for a few days to heal up before coming back into the kitchen at First Watch. If thats not an option. ..may I suggest putting things on the table like puzzles and games so Ill NEVER have to look up while waiting for service????

Fresh will cost you. There are plenty of healthy options in this new cafe. They only serve breakfast and lunch here. I found their own brand of coffee excellent but a little on the pricey side....$2.79...Instead of one of the healthy options,we chose the traditional breakfast..cage free eggs,bacon,potatoes and a multi grain artisan toast at $9.79 each. I was not impressed with the potatoes or the bacon. In fact,I think the bacon was microwaved. We had orange juice and grapefruit juice.. Total cost .... about $30.00.They were only open since Monday and seemed to be well organized. The decor was bright and airy and the staff was friendly.

I decided to try First Watch on the recommendation of a friend. I walked over from my job in the same shopping center. Upon entering, I was NOT greeted, nor acknowledged. The cashier was finishing up with 1 customer and then waited on the ladies next in line. While he was doing that, 2 other parties came up to pay AFTER I had already been there waiting. The cashier took care of them BEFORE I was even spoken to or acknowledged. I will NOT be back to the restarantula based on my experience.

This place is awesome! They are new to the Destin area and have gone over and beyond. Our favorite use to be Another Broken Egg but this is now the go to spot. Please ignore any of the previous bad reviews as they clearly do not know that drinks normally will cost you an arm and a leg anywhere you go. This place gives a new vibe to Destin, the food is EXTREMELY FRESH and taste amazing. The food is very well priced, with such a friendly and bright atmosphere.

This was my third visit, and Ive been very happy every time. The staff is wonderful, providing great customer service and recommendations. They always check to see if we need anything and are very friendly. The food is phenomenal and unique, I recommend it to everybody who comes into town and have taken visiting family twice now! A great breakfast spot with more than just the basics (though they have those, too).

Im being nice giving 3 stars. Only due to first time was very good and great service. The next two times was not so good especially the last time. It is a hit and miss place. Eggs over medium was not cooked that way, and parts of the white was not cooked. Service was bad. Never going back again and expensive coffee. They did not charge me for the meal as I asked. But still not going back

I had lunch at First Watch in Destin for the first time with two friends today, it has been open for 1 week. The food was excellent, I saw many choices on the menu that I will try in the future as well. Our waitress was fun and knowledgeable. I am so happy to have such a comfortable, relaxing deliciously unique place to go for lunch. We all loved the atmosphere and decor as well.

Has potential, great location, but here is some constructive criticism for management to improve. A $14 breakfast should be served HOT, not just a few degrees above room temperature, as was mine. Bill was placed on table while eating, a bit tacky, could have waited until I was finished. Ill be back soon.

So glad we chose this over a chain breakfast restaurant! The food at First Watch was SO fresh, the decor was awesome, and the service was very friendly. The price was great too! You get a TON of food for your money. We will definitely be returning!

The food was awesome. The kitchen was pretty loud, but we were sitting right next to it. I had the BLTE and it was great, wife had the Monterey Club, it was also delicious. The tomato bisque was definitely on point. We will definitely be back.

Great food and service. The menu has offerings for the ultra-healthy eaters as well as the comfort food seekers. Opens at 7AM, so you can beat most tourists if you go a little early. Eat first, then take your walk on the beach!

Good tasting high-end brunch place. Prices will be on the higher side but that comes with the territory. Fun hipster/rustic atmosphere at a location thats minutes from the beaches and across the street from the Destin Commons!

This place was fabulous for breakfast. I had the "works" omelet and it was probably the best omelet Ive had. The kids even enjoyed their food. Great food, friendly service. Highly recommended.

Food is good. Probably worth 4.5 stars. Went in not expecting to like it, was pleasantly surprised. Club and salad were reasonably priced. Look forward to trying some other things.

The best breakfast and lunch in Destin! The service was over the top friendly and clean. A real clean and cozy atmosphere. It is a must for a healthy home cooked meal!
