Great breakfast or brunch. Got something from seasonal menu and it was delicious. Place uses authentic healthy ingredients so very tasty. Millionaire’s bacon is a must. Healthy and hearty choice instead of tacos. Great food with authentic ingredients.

We had an absolutely wonderful breakfast at First Watch near SeaWorld San Antonio in San Antonio, Texas. We went last spring and I am finally getting some time to catch up on my reviews, and this one definitely deserves five stars. It’s such a great spot to enjoy breakfast or brunch before a fun day out.
The menu has so many delicious options. I loved classics like Tri‑Fecta and the Traditional Breakfast with eggs cooked just how you like them. The Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and Belgian Waffle were both fluffy and flavorful, and the Avocado Toast was fresh and satisfying. Their A.M. Superfoods Bowl is perfect if you want something lighter but still bursting with taste.
We also tried one of their fresh juice blends from the juice bar. The Morning Meditation juice was so refreshing with bright citrus and a hint of turmeric, and the Kale Tonic was a great way to start the day with a boost of greens.
The staff was friendly and attentive, and everything felt relaxed and welcoming. The atmosphere is perfect for a casual meal that still feels special. I would absolutely recommend this place for breakfast or brunch, and we can’t wait to go back next time we’re in San Antonio.

5 stars across the board. Excellent food, good drinks, on point service. I had the farmhouse skillet hash, wife had the elevated egg sandwich. We shared a pitcher of sangria, which was delicious and appropriate strength of alcohol.

Bad service. We weren’t provided with spoons for our coffee, had to ask for them multiple times. Waiter never returned after food was delivered to ask if we needed something else. Place is cold and crowded. Food was okay. Ice coffe didn’t taste like coffe at all.

Presentation and restaurant environment were great. Unfortunatley food lacked taste and dedication. 1. U dont substitude anything on eggs benedict(english muffin with unknown bread or canadian bacon w shaved deli ham), 2. hollondaise sauce was bland and home cooked potatoes were lightly tasty. 3. Floridian French toast was literally a Texas toast brown bread w light cinnamon. Coffee was grt, oj was not fresh squeezed…more like a minute made juice at best.
Pricey, but its pricey at any location nowadays.
Recommend? See for yourself. I wont return. Its a packed house for brunch.
Those started donut holes were amazing. Unfortunatly, They set the bar too high for what followed.
Staff was amazing. Super friendly and attentive. Food needs more dedication.
I was dissapointed overall.

The breakfast was decent. The staff were friendly and attentive, but the loud music was a bit of a drawback – it made conversation feel like a chore. To top it off, it was surprisingly crowded, I stopped in on a Saturday around 10am. Overall, it was a solid, but not spectacular, breakfast experience that might not be as fulfilling as some of the other spots in the area.

Great breakfast spot! The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. The portions were generous and everything tasted homemade. The staff was friendly and the service was excellent, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to for a solid breakfast.

Yummy food & drinks. I tried the Morning Medication while my granddaughter had the blazing dragon both were so good. I had a Monterrey club with the tomato basil soup. My granddaughter won an art contest with another student from Brennan High school & they painted a cute display. I will go again to try a egg Benedict plate.

We sat outside and unfortunately felt pretty overlooked by the staff. There was no shade or umbrellas, which made things uncomfortable in the heat. Our order was brought out incorrectly, so i ate a waffle they thought was mine and after waiting 10 minutes another one and my friends food came out. I was done by then… awkward. drink refills were hard to come by. Of course, it was very busy, which may have contributed to the service issues. That said, the food itself was really good.

Great way to start a day. It’s nice and cozy and very laid back. The food was awesome and filling. Outside there’s corn hole as well as seating if you’re into that.
