Customer Reviews
What a hidden gem! Seated promptly at 830a on a Saturday. Staff was very kind and accommodating, engaging. Food was SUPERB! Plenty of individual restrooms - at least 5-6 (I'm a fan!). Great music, FANTASTIC VIBE! My 13yo son ate everything; avocado toast with basted eggs on the side, million dollar bacon and the pineapple express - another plus since he'd rather be home gaming than ANYWHERE with mom.
We tried the special cornbread, and while it was good, the bottom had places where it was burned. The Tres Leches French toast was good, and everything else was fine. We didn't really understand the Million Dollar Bacon, as it was swimming in some type of syrup, and the pieces were a mediocre size. The tortilla chips under the Chiliquiles weren't great, but the rest had good flavor (we ordered with the meat on the side, and liked that it had a little kick). The food was fresh, and the portions large (aside from the bacon)
First Watch! What a wonderful way to celebrate brunch! Exceptional experience from walking in & being graciously greeted by a team member who was helping seat a colleagues section. Terrific teamwork! Peyton is Spectacular!! Jose was quite the delight as he balanced the attention we asked for, the knowledge we needed & the kindness that will keep us coming back! The breakfast tacos were absolutely superb & the eggs Benedict set the bar for what to expect at an exceptional establishment 👌 The only thing I would suggest is a different take on your breakfast potatoes, they are a bit too big in the cube like shape they're served... some were even a bit cold. Maybe an option to have a crisper option? We are excited to continue to explore you're menu, especially with the holiday edition! #
We couldn't figure out what's the order so we sampled the menu. The food was fantastic, atmosphere was unforgettable, and the service was excellent. Highly recommend!
Your standard first watch I love their FRESH ingredients and minimalist menu with amazing drinks! They new Tangerine Coldfoam topped for fall is nice and tasty! Their coffee is pretty good as well! Always my first choice for breakfast whenever I can
