Ive passed by this place hundreds of time and said to myself "look at these tourists at this tourist attraction strip mall". It wasnt until I was meeting up with an old friend that I found myself going here, and I must say I was well impressed. Tables and seats outside as well as inside, and its pretty roomy. After being greeted upon entering I was escorted to a table, but on my way I couldnt help but gaze at the various plates of foods the patrons were having. Being a french toast person I ordered their french toast with their seasonal fruit smoothie and wow was I impressed. The fruit smoothie was incredibly refreshing and light. The french toast was perfectly cooked, nice and thick with a slight crunch, yet still fluffy, as well as topped with various fruits. But wait theres more. It also had a home-made mixture of fruit type syrup. Once combined, the taste was like none other. The glimpse of the kitchen also greatly surprised me. Ive never seen a kitchen so clean. It was as if the restaurant just opened and the food was being made elsewhere, but simply walked through the kitchen before coming to the table. The servers were also incredibly nice. I honestly felt like Id walked into the Chic-Fil-A equivalent of a sit-down restaurant. Well ok thats a bit of a stretch, but Im sure you get my point. If I had to make a complaint, it would be that the the surrounding area looks like a stereotypical tourist attraction and one of the servers was a bit too chatty. But as you can see Im stretching. Im nicely impressed.

Went here two days in a row. The first day my party didnt even make it to the table because they forgot about us, so we left. The second day, almost all workers looked and acted as if they hated their lives. From working in the food industry, I know its not a luxury, but you learn to be an actress. When we got to the table, the cups were dirty, coffee mugs had lipstick on them....lipstick stains but not glass mugs. Our waiter took our order and we didnt see him until our food came. Then he never came back until he dropped off the bill 40 min later. My husbands French toast was not cooked. So we kept trying to get someones attention, hoping our waiter would eventually come back to see how the food was. But nope, he never came back. We asked for the French toast to be taken off, and he thankfully said "ok". But never asked, why? Would you like something else?....this place had gone down hill. Will not be going back.

I was there today at this restaurant, I tried it for the first time. The service was good I had a really good waiter, I ordered a crepe which has tomatoes, cheese, avocado and comes with potatoes. It had an okay taste , but I couldnt believe that the whole time I was eating I continuously had to be taking out pieces of rotten avocado, it was all black and nasty and all over my food. When I did tell the manager he said " sorry " but did not take it off the bill, nor offered any kind of gesture towards the fact that I had to eat something with nasty rotten avocado in it. I am not sure why a cook would even put something rotten in someones food and because inside a crepe they thought I wasnt going to notice it, well it was quite disgusting, Most likely wont come back, and if you do eat there just dont order avocado.

This place was okay. My sister loved her dish, but I thought mine was very average. I probably got the wrong thing because all of these reviews here say the places is amazing. The orange juice which was fresh was amazing, but the coffee they served was so watered down it must have been brewed the wrong way because it was brown colored water but had no flavor, it was not drinkable. I got a Monterey club sandwich which was okay. I would go back because its a nice environment and its a nice place to walk to on nice mornings. Also I really wanted to sit outside at this place and the staff just indicated it wasnt possible. They should have offers a waiting list to sit us outside but instead just indicated that us wanting to sit outside was a bother.

Ya know its amazing how different resturant of the same name can be SO different. We go to the First Watch in Sunrise all the time and we love it. However.... We decided to try this one for a quick bit WOW. The place was empty it smelled funny the service was sssoooo slow and the server was nonexistence. We had to keep asking for our server. And still was ignored. We ordered two Cobb salads easy right..... the lettuce tasted dirty the popping ie, bacon, tomatoes, avocado eggs etc. was minimal at best. The only nice thing I have to say about this place is the coffee was good when we could get it!! Advice go somewhere else for a good salad!!

First when I walked in the place is simple and cute, definitely shows the healthy vibe. I ordered the turkey sandwich with bacon and avacado. That was really good and oh my god dont even get me started on the salad A M A Z I N G. Not even kidding I wanted to eat a whole bowl of that. My family and I had 4 meals in total and because 2 took longer than 20 mins we got the whole meal free! The food was great and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Although the name doesnt really bring you into the cafe its a good place to eat :)

Best place for breakfast. First off, they leave the whole pot of coffee at your table, so you dont have to wait for refills. Awesome. The menu cant be beat. They have everything from your basic eggs, to omelettes, to healthy choices, to very interesting mixes and combos. I never know what to order, just so much to choose from. So glad I found this place. Wont go elsewhere.

I went here of course because first watch is my fav! We paid for a large orange juice and we got a small cup! When I asked for a cup of water they gave me large cup of water! How is that you give me a large water but not give me large orange juice that I paid for?? My partners eggs wasnt completely cooked! My veggie sandwich wasnt hot!!! It was bad in all areas!!!

Sometimes they have Chilaquiles and everything is awesome. Other times they have Biscuits and Turkey Gravy. They also have a bunch of healthy stuff Ive never put inside me like granola and smoothies. *shrugs*

Meh... They serve bland "healthy" food, but most places that do the organic thing have great produce. The OJ (from concentrate) was the most memorable part of the meal...

The food tastes incredible and is rather healthy. They are open early enough for an early morning breakfast with friends and its easily the best brunch place on the planet.
