I love the place, the food is awesome and you can tell the vegetables are so fresh. Also the menu is so delicious. From savory choices to sweet, some indulgence and some really healthy. There is a choice for everyone. One of my favorite items on the menu is Benedict Eggs.

Great first time experience here! We do not have any of these establishments back in South Carolina so decided to give it a shot. There was a short wait for a table which I understand now after dining here. The food was fresh and delicious and there was not a long wait after placing our order. Staff was very friendly and on their game for it being a Sunday morning. I wish there were some of these back home. If we travel again there will be another time dining at this establishment!!

Excellent everything! Stopped here on the way back from a trip. Food was excellent, ambiance is perfect for talking, relaxing and enjoying your meal. What pushed this to five stars was the excellent service, especially the extra effort to make sure my grand daughter enjoyed her meal. Definitely recommend.

The best place to eat, it’s the best brunch restaurants all together. This is a great place to stop if you’re coming from the south heading up to Lexington on the way for a quick bite.They have excellent service, a beautiful venue an awesome menu, great nonalcoholic drinks and overall it’s just one of our favorite places. It’s impossible to be in this restaurant and be in a bad mood always changing menu with the seasons, well staffed, just awesome. We just love it here.

Had a wonderful visit today. Was slow to get service initially but once we brought it to a servers attention, everything was perfect. To top it off, the manager came out and personally apologized. I love First Watch!

We love the food here! The coffee is on point as well as the Bloody Mary! The food is outstanding and I recommend Eggs Benedict (all of them!) The atmosphere is upbeat but the noise is a bit much at times.

Went here for brunch with my family while visiting and I have to say this place is fantastic. Everyone is friendly here. The atmosphere has a nice feel to it. The resterant itself looks very cute. The food is absolutely delicious. The million dollar bacon is a must have!!! Love it here so much, will definitely return in the future. Highly recommend going here :))
