I will never visit this location again . I love 1st watch but the disrespect & obvious issue with anyone BIPOC isn’t an one off. This time I was only a couple of bites into my meal when I was brought my check instead of asking did I need anything else or how did I like my meal. I took a few more bites then was brought a to-go box. I was so disappointed and hungry cuz I would’ve ordered a Trileptal with a waffle so I could leave the hash for later. I sat there for a few minutes just to make sure it wasn’t just sensitivity but others had to ask for their checks. Some were there b4 me and others came after me was getting the service a human supposed to get but the staff has to believe I’m human for my service to be at that level. You’ll see the to go box in my photos to see how much I was able to eat b4 the blatant attempts to tell me to leave happened.

If you’re looking for a comfortable place with a positive vibe from the atmosphere to the servers’ smiles to have breakfast or brunch, First Watch is the place. There are glutton free, vegan, and unique breakfast items on the menu that mix traditional foods such as egg benedict into no so traditional meals such as Smoked Salmon Benedict. With so many outstanding options, it was hard to choose! I had the steel-cut oatmeal that was topped with strawberries and nuts along with brown sugar and milk on the side so I could have my oatmeal as sweet and thick as I wanted. I appreciated the orange-cranberry muffin that came with the meal, although it went home in a to-go container. The blueberry pancakes were jammed packed with blueberries and big enough to require its own zip code. My companion raved about the Farmhouse Hash. The Morning Meditation Fresh Juice was sunshine in a glass. I highly recommend First Watch for anyone wanting a breakfast or brunch with personality.

I had the Blt Eggs Benedict and the Morning Meditation juice. While the Eggs Benedict was delicious it was more salad than breakfast and one of my eggs was so undercooked it collapsed into a pool of yolk. Quick and wonderful service.
