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.

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

Per usual, the service and the food at First Watch, any First Watch, are fine. What was concerning was the dog under the table next to ours. The dog wasn’t wearing a service dog vest, which means there was just a large pet next to my table, indoors, at a restaurant. While this may be cute and trendy right now, this doesn’t take into account health (allergies, etc) or sanitation/cleanliness. My party was not asked if we were comfortable being seated next to a table with an animal present, or even notified of it. I would rather there not be animals in an establishment serving food, but simply being asked would have been enough to feel considered in the process. MANY groups of people do not share certain spaces with animals, especially where we eat. The disregard for the vast range of possibilities why NOT to eat with animals in favor of pet owners’ has gotten ridiculous and disturbing in the assumption that we are all OK with this. Pets are personal and eateries/restaurants are public.

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!

First Watch (a breakfast/brunch-only place, no dinner) is one of the few chain restaurants I enjoy going to, and this location is no exception. The portions are large and full of flavor; it was hard to pick just one thing! The Cinnamon Cereal Milk Coffee (contains rum) tasted like vacation in a glass. I got the market hash, which was loaded with veggies so I didn’t feel so sluggish afterwards, and the multigrain pancake was hearty without being heavy. It was enough to have leftovers for the next day. Be prepared to wait on the weekend; even with the digital wait-in-line check in, we had to wait another 20 min to get a seat (45 min total). Looking forward to coming back

Loved the coffee. Will return for the coffee. We enjoyed our healthy breakfasts too, but so many restaurants don’t have good coffee to go with their food. Yum!

Celebrated my birthday with a pal and had a wonderful time. The food was delivered quickly, the server was attentive and sweet, and the option to sign in via the app got us seated quickly during a super busy time.
