Hi there. Im a server at this restaurant and Ill be darned if Im not the hardest working server of all time. I care deeply about an enjoyable and efficient breakfast/brunch experience for every person that walks through the door (and the second door LOL) and gives me a chance to serve them. Heres my philosophy, healthy food is a staple in a happy life. And if you trust me to serve that to you, I will not let you down. I will bring you coffee and I will take your order diligently and carefully. Then when I take it back to the kitchen, I first tell the cook about you. I tell them about your nice smile and your soft, polite gaze. Then I explain that you dont just want a pesto chicken quinoa bowl with a Kale Tonic, you want something that will fuel you to becoming a better person. Then when I deliver your food, I do so with haste. It is EXTREMELY important to me that your food is fresh and that you arent waiting and wasting time; time that could be spent being a positive influence on someones life. Im going to completely honest with you, I have made mistakes before. I once served a man a pancake with pecans, when he wanted a waffle with pecans. Immediately you could see the melancholy sweep over my face. I treated the situation as if I were helping my own family, and made sure he got the waffle he wanted and deserved. Even though I turned this into a positive, learning experience, Id be lying if I told you I slept soundly that night. In conclusion, I consider myself the standard for a server in the food industry. I care about this job and I care about my guests. Thank you for reading and come see me, because if I am your server, you will be added to my nightly prayer list. Thank you and best wishes.

We arrived around 9:30 am on a Wednesday morning so you wouldnt think it would be very busy but it was. This made the restaurant quite noisy. The hostess seemd miffed that we had 4 in our party and she had to clean off a table (miffed at us or the bus staff Im not sure). Our server however was friendly and cheery. Since it was quite busy we did have to wait a little bit for her to return to the table to take our order but we took that in stride. After placing our order it was nice having a pot of coffee at our table for self serve and our server (she never did give us her name) was happy to refill those as needed. She also brought us water upon request. The crab and asparagus omelette was delicious and came with artisan bread. The jelly for the bread was yummy! Im not sure what type of sauce came on the omeletter but it enhanced the flavor without being overwhelming. I usually dont like to hit "chain" restaurants when visiting new cities but First Watch usually has fresh food and this one fit that bill.

Disappointing. Im a vegan, but love to eat out with my friends. I researched before going and the burger looked like my only option. Veggie burger it is. The burger itself was fairly standard, very bland, good enough to let me enjoy my friends company. The problem was in the salad. The inch long piece of bacon you can see in the photo could have been an oversight, but the slimy wilted greens were disgusting. I tried to eat the greens but have up on it. With the bacon and bad greens together it means no one looked at my plate before it left the kitchen, or if they did they needed to learn to look a bit harder. Our server was wonderful and gave me a new plate of greens. This one only had a few skinny leaves. It was quite frustrating.

The food was freshly made. The menu is varied. I had the eggs Benedict barbacoa. It was a unique take on the standard dish. The ingredients were delicious. This is the only breakfast place that has coffee that is good enough not only to drink, but to enjoy. The service is friendly and efficient. Try it, you wont be disappointed.

I had never been to a brunch restaurant before! I was just in the area buying a computer and it seemed like a good morning for coffee and breakfast tacos. I really wish I hadnt filled up on coffee as I wanted to try one of their juice bar drinks. It was a very laid back atmosphere and I would love to go back sooner rather than later!

in a city that is seriously deprived of good restaurants, the locals jam this place all morning Saturday and Sunday. the food is ok. but compared to the only other options around.....its amazing. drop this in a city with some outstanding breakfast places (im coughing and saying louisville) and its average.

First time eating here and food was delicious. I ordered Carrot Cake Pancake with Kale Tonic drink. The service I received wasnt the best as I ate my entire meal without any water and my waiter was no where to be found until my to go order was completed. I would go again just to a different location.

Simply the best coffee around. I love to take my fiance here for early morning breakfast on the weekend. They have excellent, the service is always fantastic and the prices are fair. Get here early though or youll likely have to wait for a table. Its a popular place.

Service is decent, I love First Watch but this one struggles compared to others I have been at. Silverware is dirty EVERY time I come here and usually have to wait for stuff like silverware and such, meaning I cant enjoy my coffee while waiting for my food.

Waitress was good. First Watch is too busy being fancy to get the basics right. I ordered market has with eggs over easy. The hash was ok the eggs were hard cooked. Hash needs runny egg to be tasty. Hard eggs ruined the whole experience.

We had pretty basic breakfast but there were some more adventurous offerings. Best thing was the bread. Worst was small portions. Our server wasnt very helpful and was rather put off when we asked questions.

Great food, good price. Think an Italian chipotle. Only issue is the long lines and long wait times at peak hours.
