I visit this restaurant the very first day that open. I asked for a fresh cold squeeze orange juice, there was nothing fresh out of it except that was a brand orange juice it was not fresh squeezed at all I di not liked the fact that it was not fresh squeezed. My wife order a kale green drink which she was not very impressed of it, we had coffee as well and it was quite ok.

You’re gonna want to get out of bed early for a First Watch for brunch! (Although you don’t have to be an early riser to enjoy it – they serve breakfast/brunch/lunch from 7 a.m until 2:30 in the afternoon daily!)

We went for the soft opening and it was great. The staff were extremely friendly and there were a lot of them. The restaurant was busy for the soft opening but we didn’t wait long for anything. I brought the whole family. We got an omelette, the ricotta pancakes and one of the breakfast combos. We tried the iced coffee (which was fantastic) one of the juices which my daughter really enjoyed and hot chocolate which was also tasty. The food was fresh and well made. The restaurant is clean and nicely redone. I have been to a First Watch before and the experience was similar. I enjoyed the food. I will say that the selection isn’t huge so don’t come expecting a 5 page menu like some other breakfast places. I also appreciated the attention to detail regarding food allergies. Great experience we will come back!!
