10/10 – This place is incredible. The atmosphere is amazing, the waitress was extremely attentive, nice, and on the ball. And don’t get me started about the food… I had the specialty barbacoa benedict and it was to die for. Cooked perfectly.

Went for brunch, had good portions of food and great service. Much recommended to reserve as it could get busy very fast.

We went to this place for brunch on a Saturday, got a table after only waiting for a few minutes. The place has a good vibe, it’s open, has a nice decor, very new. The food itself was really good, cold coffee, pancakes, elevated egg sandwich, french toast and potatoes. The service however could be a little better. It took a long while for us to get our food, our waitress seemed nice we got a hint of some passive aggressiveness

Breakfast was excellent. We were able to sit right down and coffee was immediately served. Our waitress was very friendly and offered suggestions. The food arrived quickly and was perfectly prepared. The portion sizes were generous and the food tasted great. I will be back. This is a new favorite.

Healthy & tasty breakfast and brunch options abound at First Watch. I see some reviews complain about long wait times, but I have not experienced those myself. The food is very tasty and I have enjoyed everything I have tried. The Eggs Benedict is very good, the crab avocado toast is delicious, the million dollar bacon is great, they have good coffee, and their pancakes are ENORMOUS, they are not joking when they say 2 is A LOT of food. I have been a here a few times and I will continue to return.

Food was delicious but wasn’t super hot. Coffee was cold. It was very busy and everything was still delicious and our server was awesome!
