All was above average. Fresh food quality, fast service and great casual atmosphere. We have tried two locations and the experience was equally good.

The service was fantastic at this cute place. The atmosphere and menu were wonderful. The food was pricey and ok. I ordered an extra egg which didn't come and was charged 3 dollars. One child's food came and the other came 8 minutes later.... doesn't seemlike a lot but it's a lot when you are with hungry kids. I am not sure if this would be my first choice for brunchI will go back for a drink though

Great breakfast place. Nice atmosphere and good service. Food is always fresh. I recommend trying their smoothies it’s very tasty and different from all the other places. Definitely recommend this place. It gets busy over the weekend so plan ahead and make a reservation.

First visit today with 3 friends. So many good things to say about service, atmosphere and most of the food. I ordered the smoked salmon Benedict which looked fabulous when served. I was surprised to take the first bite and realize the dish was ice cold. As in right from the fridge. I asked for it to be warmed in the microwave but evidently they don’t have one and replaced the whole plate immediately. The new dish was not an improvement. The problem is that they use a ciabatta bun instead of a toasted English muffin and it was not warmed at all. Cold from the fridge. The smoked salmon was right out of the fridge as was the sliced tomato. The tomato should have been grilled. The two poached eggs were warm . The Hollandaise sauce was probably warm when it left the kitchen but by the time it got to me it was cool at best. Three of the five ingredients were ice cold making the whole dish barely edible. I didn’t enjoy it and think the chef should know how to make eggs Benedict without any suggestions from me. My three friends said their meals were wonderful. I guess I just ordered the wrong item. The coffee was excellent. I was so disappointed by my meal.

First time here was great! The only thing better than the bacon was the service! Great staff and good atmosphere. The manager at this location was named Nicki and she was top notch!Would recommend for brunch to all friends and families! I got The Traditional, but everyone at my table ordered something different and everything looked great!

I stopped into first place today with some cowokers. Once a month we come in as a team building activity. As always, the food was wonderful. Service was both efficient and accurate. What really stood out to me today, was when our food was delivered to our table the young lady did not just walk away- She introduced herself and greeted all of us. She made sure our orders looked correct and even came by a second time to ensure we were enjoying our food and even gave us recommendations for dishes to order on our next visit. BIG THANK YOU TO NICOLETTE!! TOP TIER CUSTOMER SERVICE!!

My visit to First Watch this morning was disappointing. I received a gift card and figured might as well give it a try. The food and the juice bar were good. The cold brew wasn't great and by the end of our meal, it was basically untouched. When we went to pay at the front counter, they informed us that their gift card machine was not working. So, we had to pay with my credit card instead. The staff's lackluster response and minimal apologies was off putting. We felt like this circumstance was very much the businesses' problem (not ours) that their machine wasn't working and therefore, would have expected a better response/solution to be offered.

Poor service. The 3 or 4 times I have been there, we were seated in a corner, food brought out after half an hour (twice), the waiter did not even try stopping by while we waited. Overall given the feeling of us not being welcome...

First time there. Full but not packed. A little noisy due to cement floors and high ceilings. Great choices for breakfast or lunch. Service quite good and fast. I tried traditional breakfast. Waffle was terrific and wife tried one of the featured dishes. It had a little kick to sauce but very tasty. I will try it next time. Portions were fine. I think s nice touch at least for me was that they bring s bottle of water. So no need to track wait staff down. I woul recommend to anyone.

I had the 1/2 Roast Beef & Havarti sandwich and 1/2 Chicken Avocado Chop Salad. And Blueberry Pancake. Wish the Horseradish was hotter, otherwise the sandwich was amazing! The pancake was a bit overdone and tasted mostly of grain and char. Won’t get next time. Diet Coke was rather flat.
