TLDR; Everything was great, and at worse more than satisfactory. I will return.
Great food, great coffee. I had an iced coffee I forgot which one. I was not the biggest fan of the after taste but it was still more than satisfactory.
I believe my food was about $13 ish and it was very good for the price. I would expect a higher price for the quality and quantity I received.
The one who ate the Belgium waffle enjoyed it but believes that for the price ($11 or 12ish?) It should have come with a bit more. I agree but they have a smaller stomach so that would be enough for them.
The coffee was well worth the price. I expected it to be more expensive for the price.
Travel agents recommended me First Watch, various locations around the country, for those who want to eat a bit on the healthier side. I was not disappointed in the recommendation
The prices were fair in my opinion.
I will definitely return

Very ,very cold. So bring a wrap. The food was very fresh and inventive on a few items. Cute inside.I believe a Pro tip for weekends is going on their website to set a place in line for brunches. I’ve seen lines. I was pleasantly surprised how fresh and inventive ( or tweaks) to great breakfast and brunches. I love you can do brunch everyday!! The few ” lunch” items look really good. Thou zi could not pass up trying a great eggs floratine.A lil different and maybe the ciabatta bread was a lil two thick or long. The eggs cooked perfectly. I decided on a mixed greens to accompany it. It was a great choice and I really liked that even with the lemon on the field greens. Id say a perfect 10! My cocktail was the pomegranate one. It came so cute with a small old milk jug type container. It was very good and they are pre mixed. (It was pre mixed and it’s the villages for goodness sake)So maybe not really a cocktail but a refreshing nice drink. My husband inhaled his brunch ( We went on a Mon. at 12:30.) He had The Chickichanga with potatoes. Looked amazing the lil amount of time I saw it on the plate. The waitresses and all the staff we encountered were very nice. I’ll go as far to say supper sweet. Will be going back with my Mom and a blanket.Maybe a extra shot of Tequila in pocket.

I would like to recognize the service that I received today from Marjorie. She was very pleasant and always had a smile on her face ! Food was great too but the attention I received it is what keeps me coming back

Third time here in 7 weeks, for brunch. Hubby always orders lightly scrambled eggs, American Fries, sausage and REAL English Muffin (not the bread). My first time was Blueberry Cornbread and Million Dollar Bacon. Found the cornbread too dry and the bacon perfectly cooked, but the maple syrup was too sweet for me. The second time I chose more wisely—the pick two with half a roast beef and havarti sandwich and the salad that had bacon and pecan in it. Both were fabulous. The salad had a few potatoes with a German potato type dressing. This time I had the Lemon Curd Pancakee with fresh strawberries and the link sausage. Just HAD to try those pancakes one time and glad I did. Fabulous. Hubby had to finish them. I managed about half and was stuffed. Great place and they will modify menu items, if it’s possible.

We came to First Watch on Valentine’s Day during peak rush hour and had such a wonderful experience! Even though the restaurant was extremely busy, Cristi Miller made us feel so welcome from the moment we sat down. You honestly would have never guessed how hectic it was because she took her time with us, answered all of our questions, and helped us choose the perfect menu options.
Her kindness, attentiveness, and positive attitude truly stood out! It made our Valentine’s brunch feel relaxed and special despite the crowd. Huge thank you to Cristi for going above and beyond, we’ll definitely be back!

They do things just the way i like. Table pot for coffee and a pitcher of water. Pay by scanning the ticket from your seat. You cant ask for anymore convenience. Good food and great service. It all helps to except the price. Noise level is very inportant and it is ok.

Barbie was the absolute best! I came in with my girlfriend for her birthday and Barbie made sure we were well taken care of with very attentive service. She was very personable and had a wonderful energy, she enhanced the experience. The food, drinks, and service were absolutely amazing, and we will definitely be back asking for Barbie! (:

Disappointed. Have been here before, and the food and service were good.
Today, I ordered ham and eggs, and my eggs were overdone. By the time I received more eggs, my wife was already done with her food. The food was also bland. The server brought us napkins at the same time she brought someone else’s food. She told us there may be something on the napkins from the other customer’s tray, and if there was, we could throw them away? There was butter on the napkins that got all over my phone. Why not just get us new napkins?
This restaurant is very clean, and usually, the dining experience is pretty good. The server was also complaining about the bad cooking today as well as over the Father’s Day weekend. I’m not sure what happened today, but what you have to pay to get a meal, I do expect better.
