When we arrived the host sat us at a table and noticed it wasn’t perfectly clean (it had just a few small crumbs that we didn’t notice honestly) and promptly and apologetically cleaned it for us. Our server, for got his name but Hispanic gentleman, was very nice and professional. The food came quick and hot and was delicious. The seasonal chimichurri steak and hash was out of this world! Sad it’s a seasonal.

We came in on a Tuesday around 1 pm and the restaurant was practically empty — maybe one other table — so we were seated right away. The space was super clean, bright, and quiet, which made for a really relaxing brunch experience.
Our server, Katie, was kind, soft-spoken, and overall attentive, though she could have been just a bit more proactive. We had to ask for jam for our toast, more napkins, and coffee refills toward the end. She was very sweet though — when we asked, she brought a fresh pot and even left the coffee jug at our table, which I appreciated.
I made my own version of the Farmhouse Hash with turkey sausage, bacon, avocado, jalapeños, and Monterey Jack cheese. My boyfriend ordered The Works Omelette (no mushrooms). The food was excellent — honestly one of the best breakfasts I’ve had out in a long time.
We were so hungry that we said a quick grace and dug right in, so please excuse the half-eaten food photos — that’s how you know it was good!
Everything tasted fresh, was seasoned perfectly, cooked just right, and not greasy or heavy at all. Portion sizes were moderate — filling for me, and my boyfriend mentioned he could’ve easily eaten a second plate (he’s a big eater), but we both agreed the quality was amazing. The jalapeños in my dish even had a little kick, while his didn’t, which just felt like a sign of fresh ingredients — sometimes jalapeños hit and sometimes they don’t!
We spent about $39.55 before tax for two meals and coffee, which felt fair for the quality. With how pricey breakfast has become everywhere lately, it’s rare that we leave fully satisfied — and this place absolutely delivered.
Overall, delicious food, friendly service, and a clean, calm atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

We came back a second time on a Thursday afternoon around noon. I was excited to order the exact same dish as before since it was so delicious on our first visit — the Farmhouse Hash, with turkey sausage added ($3 upcharge). My boyfriend ordered the same dish but with regular sausage.
Unfortunately, the meal was just okay this time. The biggest difference for me was balance. On our first visit, the dish felt light, fresh, and well-seasoned, with simple flavors that really worked together. This time, the ingredients didn’t shine the same way — the potatoes were undercooked in spots, the dish was very heavy on the tomatoes and onions, and it felt heavier and less cohesive overall. The avocado and meat portions also felt a bit smaller, and even the toast was disappointing — cold and slightly soggy. My boyfriend was still hungry afterward, which wasn’t the case during our first visit.
One thing I really value when dining out is consistency, especially when returning for a dish I genuinely enjoyed the first time. Because of that inconsistency, I’m adjusting my food rating from a 5 to a 4.

If you’re looking for healthier food options, this is the place! Their juices are amazing. I have the chicken quinoa bowl when I come here. It’s usually quite busy here on weekends but the servers try their best from what i’ve observed. They seat us pretty quickly though and bring out the food just as fast.

Our Server Liz was amazing and provided incredible insight on menu options and recommendations. I ended up taking the advice and went with the tomato basil soup and a ham Gruyère melt. Truly delicious!
I would say that First Watch is a gem! Their menu is constantly evolving, offering a delightful array of dishes that keep the dining experience fresh and exciting. The coffee is impressive, and DO NOT SKIP on the deserts. It’s become a staple in my life, whether I’m sharing exciting news, catching up with friends, or simply enjoying a meal with family. First Watch never disappoints.

Love that there is a seasonal menu and their classic menu because it means I can try something new or order my favs from the classic menu like the chickichanga, elevated egg sandwich and pesto chicken quinoa bowl. The service is also amazing! Liz is attentive and she knows the menu very well. She provides delicious recommendations when I am in the mood for something new.
