First Watch provided an amazing dining experience for me and my friends. The summer special menu was absolutely delicious, with vibrant and flavorful dishes that showcased the quality of locally sourced ingredients. The service was outstanding, with attentive and passionate staff members who made us feel welcome. The restaurant had a comfortable and stylish atmosphere, perfect for a gathering. Overall, First Watch exceeded my expectations with their exceptional food, attentive service, and inviting ambiance. I can’t wait to visit again!

The cold brew was very weak to the point of having basically no flavour, given the iced coffee was so advertised, and the cold brew was $4.49, I expected better (if you are bad at something do not draw so much attention to it). We noticed people with Starbucks cups (probably people who knew what the cold coffee would be like here).

Beautiful place. Fast service. Waiter was amazing. I really like atmosphere and design there. Food is good. Portions are just the right size. Bread for toasts is delicious.

I had avocado toast but the avocados tasted so citrusy like a bunch of lime with squeezed on it and I wasn’t expecting it and just wanted fresh avocado. I’ve been to the one in Cherry Hill New Jersey and everything I had there was great and no complaints.

After reading several of the great reviews of this First Watch, we decided to give it a go. Where to start….the server took 15 minutes to come say hello, the silverware was dirty, and there was still water in the coffee cups. At one point, we looked around and noticed (yes we counted) 14 tables with no food and everyone looking for the servers. Once we got our food, the waffle was cold, million dollar bacon was about “three fitty,” the eggs with the waffle were cold and not completely cooked. We normally don’t send food back and when asked for another order of 2 over easy eggs, cold as could be as well but at least cooked through. The potatoes on the eggs Benedict plate was sadly the only warm portion in our combined meal. The tables on each side of us also complained of cold and uncooked meals to their server.

Have enjoyed breakfast here multiple times while getting treatment at Penn Radnor. Always amazing service and super friendly staff (shoutout to Christian). Food is great too, especially for a chain. This location has really good vibes. Would 100% recommend.

We love this place and its imaginative cuisine. The wait staff is always friendly and professional. We tried a special this time and it was super tasty, plus eggs benedict, a favorite. Help these people survive this pandemic please.
