First Watch is a pretty decent brunch place (even though you may first think its a bank, daycare or security company), at least as decent as brunch can be in Naples, Florida. It seems to be one of the busiest brunch places in the area. Before you begin your meal, consider purchasing the $120 gift card for $100. Its really ideal if you plan on returning multiple times. Service: Kind servers but average speed. Ambience: its above average in noise level, but sitting at your table, youll just hear mostly your party. Food: Get the pancakes - they are deliciously fluffy and giant! Also, try the raspberry preserves with the pancakes instead of the plain old maple sugar. Monte cristo French toast is tasty if you are craving something savory. And to drink, get their fresh squeezed orange juice - its great, but not as awesome as Randys nearby.

Attention to freshness & quality, vegetarian friendly. Great healthy options like kale, smoothies, fresh juices, organic coffee. Iced cold brew coffee during hot summers. Portions are reasonable, oft generous depending on dish. Home made items like jams and bakery. Salads made with real greens, not cheapie iceberg lettuce. Good menu selection for picky eaters: veg dishes, breakfast classics with healthy twist, sides, sandwiches, soups, low priced lunch special (soup & 1/2 sandwich & salad). Open for breakfast and lunch, they close mid-afternoon. Prices fair, worth it for the quality & care. Very clean place, friendly staff. Do your health a favor and stick with decent places like this;-)

The food is good although a bit overpriced, but that is expected for Naples area. I used to love the beeakfast but do not like their new menu. The granola and yogurt used to be served with nice blueberries and strawberries, but now they gove you melon and pineapple......much cheaper fruit that does not go well with yogurt. They also removed their bacon and cheddar pancake. So they have removed everything I liked about this place. Fortunately Naples has many locally owned non-chain breakfast places that also serve healthy and fresh food. I am now going to these places instead.

If youre near this area and look for a quick sit-down lunch or breakfast, this is the place to go! First Watch has a variety of healthy and organic options to choose from for both breakfast and lunch. I highly recommend trying their juice concoctions; the new Morning Meditation is my favorite. You will also be in good hands during your meal, as the staff is very attentive and delivers food in a timely manner. Perhaps the best part is the outside seating area. It offers beautiful water views that are refreshing to enjoy your meal with.

Excellent food. Great service. Our server Jessica was very kind and did a great job. We got Floridian French toast and it was 10/10, croquet madame (from seasonal menu) 10/10, eggs Benedict 10/10. And fresh juices. This place is awesome. Ambiance: great, friendly staff. Never left us waiting. Food came out quick. Cleanliness: everything looked and felt clean as could be. Food: delicious 10/10!!! The juices were amazing and the portions were big. It exceeded expectations.

First Watch, no matter what location, always offers tasty and healthy options for all. I enjoyed the Smoked Salmon Benedict with a small side salad and it was absolutely delicious AND only 600 calories. The only reason I cannot give it five stars is that no matter how busy OR slow, table service remains inconsistent in terms of checking back, providing refills on beverages, and/or dropping the check. However, all that being said, I WILL return again and again.

The Ham & Gruyere Omelet was lunch meat and cheese wrapped in eggs. I was expecting thick cut ham and chunks of gruyere, not sliced deli meat/cheese. Sourdough toast was close to ordinary white bread. I was hoping for rustic and crunchy sourdough like I can buy at the supermarket and toast at home. Coffee was acceptable. The server forgot utensils, so we had to wait a few minutes until we flagged someone else down.

Its located on a canal with a nice water view. The restaurant is new and clean. The menu has a good selection. I came with a group of three and all of our food was excellent. The staff was nice and the food came out quickly. Its a bit off the beaten path but worth the effort to find. I highly recommend this restaurant!

You cant go wrong with First Watch its always consistent. This location gets VERY busy especially in season. Download their No Wait app before you go so you get in line ahead of time. Expect a wait but it moves fast. If youre a party of one or two all to be seated at the community table for faster service.

Very limited seating. Wanted to sit on the patio and was told it was full but there were empty tables out there. Waitress brought out wrong food order. Check came even before we got our first bite in and felt like we were being rushed out the door.

Im not much of a fan of food geared towards "health conscious" individuals but they definitely did things right here. Food was flavorful and well timed. Sitting outside delayed the check, however that was to be expected. Would definitely go back.

Terrific breakfast and light lunch fare. Creative combinations. Atmosphere is pretty but a bit cold feeling. Staff were great. Service and timing were exceptional. Pricing is very reasonable for the product offered.

This was an amazing place. The food and service was excellent. Our servers name was Heather, she was sweet and patient. Thank you again for starting our day with a smile, even with the rainy day

Good food, waitresses are very fast and efficient. I felt a little rushed, but they were busy when we were there. I had the Chickichanga, and it was DELICIOUS!

Great atmosphere & coffee. My eggs ordered over easy came out medium. Wifes omelet under cooked. Toast barley toasted. Too pricey for simple breakfast.

Excellent food and service. I always try something different and its always delicious. Ask for Amy. She is the best but they are all very nice & friendly

Great service many of the staff have been here for a long time. Food is fresh and they are very flexible about splitting portions for kids.

Great place for Breakfast and Lunch. Get a table outside overlooking the Bay. Breakfast Quinoa Bowl and Kale Tonic highly recommended.

Oh_Banana_l_. Im a Banana.

My food took 2 hours to come and the waiter spit in my food right in front of me. But the food still was good so you get some credit.
