This breakfast was unforgettable for the best reasons. Spectacular food, good service, and quiet.
Ordered:
1. Bacon starter – honey glazed with a little kick
2. Blueberry key lime starter – I could’ve eaten it all
3. Biscuits with turkey gravy – delicious and well seasoned
4. Steak and eggs – exactly what I needed
5. Blueberry pancake – I wish I had more room for more food
6. Strawberry French toast – perfection
7. Coffee- good flavor
Will come back every time I’m in CStat/Bryan.

Viri was absolutely amazing. We came in during a rush and 4 different groups of people all set at the bar at the same time, along with another table she had. She did an amazing job at getting everyone what they needed and was friendly and smiling the whole time. We had just finished the half and full marathon and were cold and starving. Food came out quickly and tasted great.

A loved one suggested we grab brunch here, so I was excited to try out a few dishes. Despite an extremely minor hiccup, the visit was decent.
All the plates are beautiful! That part is well done. I ordered the salmon fritatta with the spiked lavender lemonade. It read well on paper but it didn’t deliver. I immediately ordered a mimosa, which delivered as always.
Our server Kat(?) was middle of the road. Her checking on our table was timed perfectly, but our order was missing the Million Dollar bacon appetizer. And this is after she confirmed our order. Things happen.
Overall, a decent visit. I do appreciate the spacious waiting area and the variety of outdoor entertainment. Our wait was only 15 minutes on a bright Sunday morning. I don’t mind the wait if there’s a place to wait.

First Watch nailed it! Their Avocado Toast was perfection, topped with fresh ingredients, and the coffee was hot and strong. Fast, friendly service and a bright, clean atmosphere. Definitely my new favorite breakfast spot. Don’t miss the fresh juices!

I take an annual trip to College Station each year and this is always a must stop. We love the food, service, and atmosphere. Kid and dog friendly is also a plus! Logan was awesome

We have had good luck with the service and the food. Always seems to be consistent and good. I like the fact that it isn’t super noisy and you don’t feel rushed. Maybe the eggs and French toast could have been a bit warmer, but the rest was great. Coffee and juice were good, bacon was great. A little bit pricey and a bit of a wait but worth it.

Sat at a table with dirty and wet coffee cups. so I chose a tea for my drink, instead. Ordered the French toast, w/o powdered sugar and with the berry compote on the side. never got the compote, and the FT was served in a bowl- weird. hard to cut it up. the dish doesn’t come with any sides so had to order eggs a la carte, over easy. Food tasted good and fresh, but the order arrived incorrect, no berry compote, eggs with hard yolks. asked them to remake the eggs, thinking it would take a couple of minutes. nope. the remade eggs took 10min so the rest of the meal was done when I got delivered the eggs. Service was very slow, but friendly. last insult was a $20+ bill for twice made eggs (almost $5), $12 french toast and $4 tea. Not a nice experience. probably won’t return.

If it’s busy, I can understand the waitstaff taking a bit to greet your table and grab drink orders. But when there are only 5 tables with guests total in the entire restaurant and about 15 wait staff employees, not having anyone come to your table after over 10 minutes is aggravating, especially when there are two groups of the waitstaff hanging around talking. Surprisingly enough, this is the SECOND time this has happened. I gave them another chance from the last time they did this, but it seems this is just their new standard of service. So disappointing. I don’t plan on going back again.

First time experience here while visiting college Station, my significant and I were craving some breakfast food, and we stopped by this location. even though it was a full house on a Saturday morning, we were seated within 10 minutes, our waitress was not very attentive. She took our drink orders and our entrée orders and then she disappeared and didn’t come back so we had to go to the front. I ordered the morning meditation (7/10) and the chikichanga , which came with a salsa verde crema sauce and roasted potatoes. However I was not that far into my dish and found a hair . Our waitress was no where to be found and im not sure where the manager was so I just didnt eat that part. So please overview your plate before digging in. My significant other had the Carne Asada hash (6/10) the dish was very bland and the eggs were very under cooked for them being sunny side up… and he also had the blackberry tea (8.5/10). We also got a side of the turkey sausage which was very pale almost grey… ..We did want to get some drinks to go but again our waitress disappeared and we were patiently waiting for about 10 to 15 minutes before checking out to leave.So we left with no to go drinks. Overall maybe they were not have the best day but we will not be back to this location. The arrow points to the hair … which I didnt see until after I started to eat .

Enjoyed a great breakfast and cocktail off their seasonal menu! Pretty fair prices, although they are on the higher side, but the quality was great!
