Absolutely awesome food! I've heard about these but have never had a meal at one. We stopped by and were blown away by the menu. Everything looked good and everything we ordered lived up to it. We'll seek these out going forward.

Love their food, service is always great. Usually get the avocado toast, which is delicious, or the biscuits and gravy. Here's the thing though: the coffee is just ... bad. It is how I imagine the bad coffee in the diner in the movie 'Elf' tastes. The place with the sign "Worlds Best Cup of Coffee" ... that one. It tastes burnt and stale, or like they haven't cleaned the coffee maker in years. And those yucky, chalky tasting half and half packets. If you ask for real cream they will give it to you, which is nice, but the default is the packets. I am admittedly a bit of a coffee snob, but I know I am not alone in my dislike for First Watch coffee. If they upgraded the coffee, First Watch would be a no-brainer 5 stars from me.

We have enjoyed previous visits to First Watch restaurants in other areas so held high expectations. Unfortunately, our experience was only average. We were greeted immediately, sat at a table for two, and received our drink order right away. It was nice to have a carafe of coffee and a pitcher of ice water. Off to a good start. We drink decaf, which can be risky if the coffee has been sitting around too long. This coffee was fresh but had an unusual flavor, as if it was a coffee concentrate and not fresh brewed. Each cup was close to $4.00, a bit steep, in our opinion. Our server was friendly and attentive five throughout our meal. Very good service all the way around. A big plus. I was interested in the lemon ricotta pancakes yet also wanted some protein. Our server recommended the Trifecta, which came with meat and egg. Perfect. She said any of the pancake and waffle items could be chosen with the Trifecta. The entree was good, but not wonderful. We were also surprised when paying our bill to be charged an additional $3 per pancake (lemon ricotta cake with two pancakes), totaling close to $20 for the breakfast .... Unexpected, steep and not a great value for the quality of the breakfast. My husband ordered the chickichanga. It sounded great, yet looked odd.... Like a wrap with gravy. It was warm, not hot. It lacked flavor for a Mexican-inspired entree. The seating is ample and the dining room is modern and clean. The open, high ceiling atmosphere is also quite loud as the dining area was full when we were dining at this location. Fine, yet a bit stimulating for our taste. Not sure we would choose to return for another visit with all the great dining choices in the area. The food was only OK and the price point seems high.

Here for the second time this week. Food is always consistent and comes out quick. It's a very relaxed amousphere, even though it is usually busy. They have great coffee and are always super accommodating! Our server, Maddie, was very friendly, and checked on us just the right amount!

We are regulars at First Watch whether in Apex or Cary. . The food and service are always excellent. The price value is on point too. We were served by Megan in Apex this morning. She was prompt, efficient and very friendly. Could have been my daughter. ?
