Stopped in for breakfast on a Monday morning. There was no wait but still pretty busy. The seasonal menue is on the chalkboard wall. Great atmosphere and our waiter was fantastic! I highly recommend the fresh pressed juices!

I am always chosey but this is the best breakfast i have ever had in a long time. Keep it up. I had the power wrap and loved it so much. Will definitely be back to try out something else. Cant wait

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 JP Palomo · Apr 2018

After reading several of the great reviews of this First Watch, we decided to give it a go. Where to start....the server took 15 minutes to come say hello, the silverware was dirty, and there was still water in the coffee cups. At one point, we looked around and noticed (yes we counted) 14 tables with no food and everyone looking for the servers. Once we got our food, the waffle was cold, million dollar bacon was about "three fitty," the eggs with the waffle were cold and not completely cooked. We normally don't send food back and when asked for another order of 2 over easy eggs, cold as could be as well but at least cooked through. The potatoes on the eggs Benedict plate was sadly the only warm portion in our combined meal. The tables on each side of us also complained of cold and uncooke

We had a great experience at First Watch! We were seated immediately. They had no problems in seating us in a booth, per our request. The food was delicious and came out hot. Additionally, all of the orders were correct which is impressive given the amount of possible options for each dish. Also, our server was very kind. Not only that, but the bathrooms were clean. Overall, this was an excellent experience and I would recommend it to anyone looking for breakfast, brunch, or lunch.

★★★★★ 5.0 Lucy Unger · Oct 2025

There are a couple of First Watch locations in our area but this is easily my favorite. The staff here are always friendly and there is a very welcoming atmosphere about the place. Plus, the food is fantastic, especially the seasonal offerings. We especially like that I can get breakfast and my husband can get lunch, even at 9am on a Thursday. Highly recommended!
