★★★★★ 5.0 MV Koper · Feb 2026

I love coming here. I get services at Milan Laser hair removal and treat myself to First Watch afterward to feel fancy. I just get the oatmeal and a kale tonic, but it's decked out! This time strawberries bananas and walnuts w brown sugar. Last time it was huge blueberries. The oats are steel cut and delicious. It comes with a delicious blueberry muffin, which I usually take home. The place is always full, but never noisy. It's homey and the servers are en pointe. Other menu options are fresh, healthy, large portions of good, comfy, happy-making food. Good for groups, families, and dietary restrictions.

Chili hurrr steak and eggs hash was amazing. Also had a mimosa and a “morning meditation” Both were amazing. And Nino was very prompt at delivering orders and such. Great atmosphere, amazing food. All in all a good time.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Rebecca Maylum · Feb 2026

This particular location is very crowded and compact and overstimulating. What I ordered originally came with very little protein and a disproportionate amount of sauce and bread. When I asked the waitress about it, she said “oh that’s just the first watch way.” The second waitress was far more polite. She brought out some cups of pure whipped cream when she saw all my children were enjoying it off grandma’s drink. The wait was far longer than the estimated time they gave us, which is hard with little kids

The service was excellent and the food was even better! Depending on when you visit, there might be a short wait, but it’s never more than about 25 minutes—and they conveniently text you when your table is ready. We also accidentally dropped a cell phone between the seats, and the staff went above and beyond to help us retrieve it. Truly great people and a wonderful experience!
