What I like about the place - Location and Outdoor seating. Now lets talk about the food. I ordered an omelet, specifically, "Acapulco Express". The description says, "chorizo sausage, avocado, green chilies and house-roasted onions with cheddar and monterey jack. topped with sour cream and served with a side of housemade salsa." - There was no monterey jack cheese. - The salsa and sour cream were very runny. - The chorizo sausage was missing, when I complained they brought maybe a spoon of ground sausage. A spoon, seriously. Thats all the meat that was there in my entire meal. I paid 9.99, while that is not expensive, with coffee, tip, tax, it came to around 15. For 15, I expect a decent breakfast. So I dont think Ill be back here in a rush. I do like the early morning outdoor seating when its sorta quiet, but thats the only plus I can think of here. The food is quite meh!

This was my second time at eating at First Watch but my first time at this location. We went on 1/2 and naturally it was busy but they were doing a great job turing over tables and the wait time was much less then the 25 minutes they estimated so that was great. My problem was how they handled messing up our order. We waited close to 40 minutes for food with tables seated after us getting food first. It was clear our order was forgotten or skipped. This would not bother me if the waitress had owned up to the mistake. During our wait she did not say a word to us! she did not even come by and ask if we needed more water or coffee. What is worse is you could tell she was avoiding us. I can deal with an order mess up but check on the table and apologize. When i finally got her attention she barely answered me. Food is good but the lack of stars comes from very poor service.

All I can say is WOW! This food is delicious! I went for breakfast, and had the amazing harvest scramble, I would recommend it to anyone. I even took home the butternut squash soup for lunch and it was also fantastic. The atmosphere was quiet. The server, if anything, was a little overzealous but the service was definitely prompt. (as soon as we received our food she was right there wanting to know what we thought, but she was very nice) Overall the only negative was that they dont serve mimosas! With my delicious and amazing breakfast after working 13 hours on the night shift ALL I WANTED WAS A MIMOSA. But oh well. It was WELL worth it.

Wow, so very much beyond my expectations. The carrot cake pancake with added chocolate chips required no syrup at all and it was 8" across! The eggs were cooked perfectly and the bacon was crispy but not burnt. DH had the Chickichanga because of a recommendation here and loved it - maybe a touch fewer peppers and a bit of egg in the center would have held it together better but the taste was excellent. When we got our check we realized this place is a small chain with one close to our house...well definitely be checking that out.

Coming from Midwestern America, I have a certain fondness for places that serve primarily comfort foods and breakfast. First Watch really reminds me of home and the restaurants I used to visit with my family; their sandwiches are excellent, and all of their griddle dishes are top notch. My only complaint is the limited hours and seating, meaning customers are piling in for a bite before afternoon rolls around. It really is a shame, as I feel I would eat here much more frequently if they were open for dinner!

breakfast for lunch is always great nomnom, Eggs Benedict Smoked Turkey & Avocado $8 @ First Watch (5/5 NOMs). I think Smoked Turkey and Avocado is a great mix. Makes for very soft and light texture. Next time I will have to try two other topping mixes. This dish comes with probably some of the best potatoes! This is a new healthy cafe in town and many dishes come with nutritional facts, 691 calories. Very reasonable prices for a health focused restaurant

Breakfast/Lunch /Brunch fast casual chain in Rockville, MD is a great place for expertly prepared, high quality food. It sometimes surprises and delights (fluffy ricotta pancakes served with lemon curd and macerated berries ; Spring croque madame on brioche bread and sunny side up eggs), and a few misses (breakfast skillets). Service is slow but deliberate and courteous. Food: 5 stars; Ambiance and Service: 4 stars.

Two stars reflects at best good service, but I go to a restaurant for the food. The raisin French toast was just pitiful-- three very thin slices of bread and a few tablespoons of blueberries in sauce for nearly $8!!! I expected at least a thicker toast. Too overpriced. The coffee was hideous-- brown tasteless water; Ive had better from vending machines.

I had a great experience today. The wait was around 20 minutes but it was extremely packed so that made sense. My server was really nice and got my order correct. I had a Belgian waffle, a side of bacon and a coffee. My only complaint was that the side of bacon costs $4.29? Quite exorbitant dont you think? Beyond that, its a nice place for breakfast.

This is our go to breakfast spot. Its so nice to have a healthier option for a breakfast place! The food is always great and I dont leave feeling like Its so heavy that I need to take a nap like at most breakfast places. The coffee is REALLY good too. So good that we actually bought a bag of their ground coffee last time we were in.

The food is excellent, if a tad pricey. There are a reasonable number of egg-free options if you dont eat them - the usual bane of my breakfast experience. Service is good too! However, if you arrive during peak breakfast hours, you will wait for a table, and that wait can last for a while. Come early for quick seating and service.

Ive been here for the 3rd time already and I LOVE THIS PLACE. Everything ive tried is just as delicious and freshly made as described. I no longer want to go to any other place for breakfast when im eating out. The power wrap is just healthy and super yummy. The waffles are delicious as well. I highly recommend this place.

I have been coming here basically since their opening 9 years ago. Never had a complaint with them. In fact, I remember skipping school just to eat at this place. Still a great place to eat at after all this time. P.S. Even though all their dishes are great, I never tire of the bacado.

Exceptional! In Rockville for a night on business and hotel desk clerk recommended First Watch. I has a special of shrimp and grits that was just amazing. And Morning Meditation juice drink. I might even go out of my way to return when next in D.C. area.
