The blueberry cornbread with lemon butter was the highlight of my dining experience! It was so good and blueberries gave it a really great, fresh taste!

First time eating at First Watch. We arrived and people were waiting out side. Checked in with the hostess and waited outside. We were receiving updates via text and we were inside being seated in a shorter time than projected.

Gave us a 20-30 min wait time around 49 minutes we checked and we’re then told there will be 20-30 minutes more wait time. After being stuck outside in the heat for that long with elderly with us we asked again and they had said realistically it’ll be 40-hour longer wait after already waiting 50 minutes outside. Meanwhile they sat multiple people in front of us placing two people to bigger tables and honestly prioritizing money from quick small parties rather than a family of 6 who have been patiently waiting in the heat.

Brunch, lunch, coffee, pancakes, sangria and a wonderful conversation with your sisters #best friends and you just can’t go wrong! Now add to that delicious food, awesome service and well you have the perfect combination of a perfectly aligned meal. We went there so hungry and left wanting to roll out of there. And I must mention the humor in the servers that tell us, “no worries we will let you use our wheelbarrows to roll out…” my goodness we have the best time. I hope you #enjoy and you make the best of your time there and the blessings of being with those you love. Life is good and only getting better. So grateful for the moment. And I can’t stop without saying we had the best server! I hope you get her too

First watch on Bloomingdale ROCKED it today helping us celebrate my daughter’s 17th birthday! We brought a party of 15 people which they gladly accommodated. They quickly took our orders and the food was spot on. Everything was delicious. Everyone enjoyed their brunch. I highly recommend this place. Thank you to the manager John and his crew. They were nothing short of totally Amazing!

Sat for 10 minutes and contemplated leaving but decided to relax a bit after running errands. Another couple sat at the table next to us, and the waitress was over in no more than 2 minutes to greet them and take their order. We informed her that we were before them, and yet you took waited on them first. Her response was ,”I’ll be back in a moment.” But again, we stayed, not wanting to get back in the car. We ordered, and when the food came, we asked for additional napkins, and we are still waiting for them, which means we never got them. We did let the manager know, and he did take care of the check. So, I thank him for that, but it’s a shame that it happened in the first place. If we ever go back, I hope for a better experience

I had a great experience on a Saturday morning around 10am. Sat at the community table sitting at the bar, no wait time for those seats. Had the Florida French Toast and it was good. Coffee taste nice. The staff was friendly. It was clean. Good location.

I ordered for delivery. It arrived on time and was still warm. I ordered the Kale Shake and the Ham and Gueyer omelet. Unfortunately, there was hardly any cheese in it or on top of it. Maybe a tablespoon at best. Omelet was cooked well, but tasteless.

Came here for my husband’s birthday and my mother’s birthday. Food each time was amazing and the atmosphere and our Server truly amazing. The bread they offer is amazing and we go weekly to pick up more as they serve loafs. The food is a bit expensive for 3 people but for the food, truly worth it. If your looking for a place that has food that’s not the usual Dennys or IHOP, definitely recommend!!
