This place was amazing! My French toast was the best. The potatoes here are to die for. They taste SO GOOD. Our waitress was super nice and did a good job serving us. I would definitely go back.

I’m extremely disappointed with my order from the University Dr. location. I ordered the Barbacoa Breakfast Tacos and there was barely any meat on them. For the price you pay, this is unacceptable. The little bit of barbacoa that was there was light, dry, and lacking flavor — definitely not the tender, juicy meat you expect. To make it worse, the food was cold. It was brought straight to me, and I only drove about 7 minutes before opening it to eat. There’s no reason it should have already been cold. This isn’t my first bad experience with takeout from this location, but it is the last straw. When you’re paying restaurant prices, you expect decent portions, quality, and at the very least hot food. Unfortunately, this location continues to disappoint. Management seriously needs to address c

Always a great experience. Areli was a fantastic server and the food is always top notch. But their coffee is absolutely the reason we chose First Watch whenever we can.

We had a delicious breakfast at First Watch this morning! Our server Lex was very sweet! Our drinks were excellent! We loved our veggie sandwich and salad! Very fresh! My daughter had loaded avocado toast and home fries! So good! The restaurant was very updated and clean!
