“We stopped by Sleepy Bee cafe for brunch on a Sunday. The place was packed. We joined their waitlist on Yelp and were seated in 5-10 mins. This is a women owned business that locally sources everything they make. The food did not disappoint! We tried the mocha and the cappuccino. Both were excellent! Probably the best coffee I have had in a long time. For food, we got the Avi scramble and the breakfast burrito. Both were really good. We also tried their pancake of the day - the mango crunch cake. It was delicious and light - not too sweet either! The service was prompt and they do a great job making sure you receive your food promptly. They were very attentive despite being busy!“

“Whenever I visit Cincinnati our first stop (right after getting me from the airport) is First Watch! Never have been disappointed in the food or service. Delicious pancakes...all the flavors especially lemon ricotta and carrot cake. Love the chia seed super bowl with toasted almond nut bread and the morning meditation drink which has beet juice and ginger. Nothing feels fast food or greasy just good wholesome food, I love that pretty much every egg dish comes with a green salad with a light lemon dressing. Definitely pop in and eat there, you'll be back!(Side note: I keep wishing we'd get some in the NY area..come on !)“

“Good service this morning! We enjoyed our experience. I get the bee keeper every time, and I have noticed the one in Oakley is notably better. Not sure why, less cheese, more toppings and chicken, fresher bread perhaps. Barely any avocado. Not bad though, just didn't hit the same.“

“Nice place for an easy breakfast or brunch. The usual staples taste good (eggs, pancakes, bacon) and they offer quinoa dishes, skillet hashes, etc. The chain overall is good with accommodating food allergies (we haven't had any issues yet with peanut or tree nuts), and overall this location had ample seating on a Sunday at 9am. The food was cooked well and came out quickly, and our waiter was attentive. This place is definitely one of the first places we hit up when we are in town.“

“I really like the blueberry pancake. The carrot cake pecan pancake was not so much. And if you want real maple syrup you can request it for an additional charge. But the warm syrup they place on the table is the full of high fructose corn syrup. The coffee is strong with a bit of bitterness, but they do leave a pot on the table.“

“While in Cincinnati visiting our son, we decided to get some brunch. It was Easter Sunday and many places were closed so we expected it to be busy. We opted to sit by the bar.Service was quick and our food arrived faster than we expected. I had the Avocado Toast and my son had Chicken and Waffles. It was very very affordable.We will definitely visit there again and I will introduce to place to several of my co-workers. I appreciate that their menu was simple. I found it to have a decent selection. I love that their cocktails can be served in a carafe.“

They were willing to make me bananas foster french toast which was great and my husband enjoyed his chicken and waffles as well. We are from out of town, but would definitely visit again if given the chance.“

“Expect a LONG wait on weekends! And expect it to be the kind of busy that results in it being loud and with OK but not stellar service, biggest issue was at checkout- she had no paper (or some other issue) so she didn't want to take my credit card. I said that was fine, I could pay in cash- and then she couldn't make change. And she was pretty rude about both. That made a reasonably pleasant breakfast much less pleasant- and was how the experience ended.“

“Laid back place for brunch. I visited for the first time in years. Sat at the "bar" service was fairly quick and my server was friendly. I got the Nashville hot chicken and waffles. Chicken breast was a little small, the Nashville hot sauce was WAY too spicy for me, I'm glad I tried a dab before pouring it on my chicken. The waffle and "syrup" were a good combo. This is a no hurry place where customers sit in their booths and talk for a looooong time. Atmosphere was conducive for this. A little pricey but affordable. Thumbs High. ?“

“I have been to First Watch many times, but I was highly impressed with the speed of service at this location. I was dining with a party of 6 at 9am on a Sunday, which I know tends to be a busy time for breakfast restaurants. I did the "get in line" option online and we were seated right away. Despite even taking time to look over the menu for a bit, we were eating less than 30 minutes later. The food was stunningly prepared too even with this quick turnaround. Every plate was delicious and looked like a work of art.“

“We go here all the time and it's one of the best waffle houses I've ever been to. The staff is so nice and attentive. The food is top notch and the place is always clean and well kept. I live just up the road and couldn't be luckier to have such a great 24 hour restaurant so close. They also give me the veteran's discount which couldn't be more appreciated. I love any place that shows our service members and vets the love and support they deserve.Kid-friendliness: Very good items for kids like chocolate chip waffles. They also have paper waffle house hats they can get.Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible.“

“We got there right after the breakfast rush, so they were a little tired and irritable with each other. Our waitress was very sweet and ready to serve! The food was good as usual, since WH has the best cheese eggs out there!! Tables were messy, so it took a while to be seated. While we were eating, a server was cleaning and mopping with bleach, which I've learned to love the smell of, since COVID... That was a plus!“
