Went for a Sunday brunch. Place was full and we had to wait about 20 minutes. I understand they have an app for that but we didnt use it. 3 adults and 3 kids. Table was a little bit small for 6. We were served by a young, yet very professional person. We had the Salmon frittata, market skillet, croque madame, classic breakfast, 2 kid meals (waffle and french toast) and a juice with orange, ginger, beet etc. It took them some time to get the food out but the place was full and this is not a fast food restaurant. Food was good. Very good. Ingredients are fresh and it feels like they put a lot of thoughts on how to make the best combination - the salmon was delicious but it didnt take over the frittata. The mustard in the croque was perfect and in the right amount. The juice (I was very sceptic about it) was not too sweet, not to bitter. Just right. They get 5 for the service and 5 for the food. We are definitely going to visit them again.

I have to admit Ive dined here twice in the last couple of weeks. This place is awesome. Everything tastes so fresh and from scratch. I came here this past weekend with family. We shared a Tri athlete omelette, power wrap, parmesan hash, french toast Monte Cristo, Kale tonic. There were no complaints at all. All the omelettes were cooked well. Each of the entrees come with a fresh cup of fruit. I do wish the tonic was a bit larger I wouldve enjoyed having it throughout the meal, but I guess its meant to be taken like a shot. I like the how the menu here is always innovative. Even though some of the dishes can be hearty and heavy you dont feel that way when your done. Prices are reasonable. They get a lot of their food from local farms. Wait times can be long. Its usually a 30 minute wait for us. They have about 10 seats in the waiting area, free coffee and wifi.

First Watch is our go to breakfast/ brunch spot every weekend! We love this place for the fresh, delicious, and trendy menu options. I love how they have healthy and decadent menu choices, and even in between items. Their coffee is amazing, we buy a pack to take home every two weeks to brew at our house we love it so much. Its clean, modern, and bright interior makes it great for any occasion and everyone loves coming here, which is why they are always busy! I recommend getting the no wait app and filling out your party at least 30 minutes ahead of time if you plan on going any time after 8:30- its awesome. I highly suggest the blueberry pancakes, avocado toast, Florentine Benedict, tri-athlete omelet, and the salmon frittata, but pretty much everything is amazing:)

I will not be going back. This place has potential but seriously missed the mark. Ive been here before but didnt stay because the wait was too long. The wait was 30 mins this time and we got called in 25 mins. Waitress took a while to come. Glasses were dirty asked for others and they came timely. Had to get my own silverware because waitress was either slow or overwhelmed. I had to get three sets of utensils (on my own) before getting a decent set. Food was not hot when it came out and the cashier had issues with the POS and was not friendly. Food presentation was lacking. I was thinking about Barking Mad Cafe while eating.

I was not particularly happy after my experience at First Watch. The food itself was fine, but they gave me caffeinated coffee in a decaf container after I had asked for decaf. I realized it was actually caffeinated after I was suffering from caffeine jitters (I have great sensitivity to caffeine). I contemplated calling them to complain but Im not sure what it would have accomplished. I realize that mistakes can be made, but it was clear that this it was a mistake that was in fact made and I was not a happy camper. The obvious answer is not to order coffee if I were to ever go there again.

The breakfast is delicious. I started coming to this restaurant Sept. 2016 with my ladies bible study group. I then came back alone and in Oct brought my siblings from out of state. We have tried the pancakes, waffles, biscuits with gravy, pork sausages the skillet dishes, the salmon and of course coffee. No complaints food is very good prices alright $$ and service attentive and quick. I have visited 8 times since Sept. Try the green juice its great!

Every time I go here, I have two options for breakfast: my staple meal (Skillet Hash - Farmhouse) or something that is seasonally available. Evey time I have ordered, I have never regretted what I ordered. The dishes are flavorful and fresh. The servers have always been polite and welcoming. It is often difficult to decide not to go out to breakfast here when the kids get us up early on a weekend day.

I havent ordered anything I didnt like here. The food is geared toward healthier options, and it was pretty tasty. I have run into issue with the menu, once, the prices were changed, but not updated on the menu. Otherwise, they have very nice servers, and the seating is cool and industrial. Theres a baby changing station in the rest room, too.

Always friendly and knowledgeable servers and fairly comfortable setting, though the wooden benches could use added stuffing in their seat pillows...great food guaranteed and fair prices! Coffee is always good and got and you get the carafe along with a retro milk bottle of water on your table which is a plus in my book.

Convenient location. Great service, very friendly! I had the waffle with "real" maple syrup (small xtra cost), plus crispy bacon, exactly as I like it. The coffee was excellent and the added carafe full of hot coffee was a definite plus. Wonderful family place and one I will go back to again.

From delicious healthy food to friendly staff, this place is the perfect location to get a great meal whether you are on a date, with family/friends or flying solo. Not to mention the specials menu changes each season and dont forget to ask what is the soup or muffin of the day.

The floor is very slippery. Told the cashier but she said they have sign to tell people which was a yellow cone by the door where we dont sit and thought was just that particular spot was wet. Not coming back till the floor is fixed. A Million dollar lawsuit!!!!!!!

Finest breakfast Ive had! Great selection of delicious foods which are fresh and filling. The waiter was very laid back and friendly. He also seemed to know a lot about the menu which helped my group decide what we wanted. Im definitely going back for another round!

Donno why it has been rated so highly. The food was average the price was on the higher side, and you can get the same type of food for less at any other breakfast restaurant. Yes the service was good but there are far better breakfast joints than this.

Great quality food, great service nice atmosphere. If youve never had their avocado toast, dont try it you only want to order that every time you go. If you go on the weekends use the NoWait app to "get in line" before you get there, it works great!

Our waitress was very attentive to our family needs. Our food was cooked right and the way we ordered it. The whole grain carrot cake pancakes were awesome and the bacon crispy. Good job guys
