A famous movie character once said, "And in the morning I'm making waffles". More like, in the morning I am coming here. That cinnamon powder sugar is the ultimate game changer when it comes to a waffle. Without it, it would taste like every normal waffle. I honestly should've asked for more. Our waitress was super nice. It was extremely busy so make sure you join the waitlist early.

Always enjoy coming to First Watch! Everything from the food and drinks to the service and ambiance is always wonderful! It can get pretty busy especially on the weekends so I would keep that in mind when planning your arrival. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Our favorite server Tamika is absolutely fantastic! So warm and personable and always a pleasure to talk with. She has really made our experiences here even better! Some of my favorite menu items are the tri-fecta, the farmhouse hash, egg sandwich, and the breakfast tacos. Also enjoy their seasonal menu items as well as the purple haze juice!

Service is great as always, joined waitlist from their website, great feature to jump ahead in line when you arrive. Avocado toast was supper fresh and flavorful.

TLDR: Plenty of parking. Great seasonal food! Food (4/5): I had to be dragged here. I never wanted to go because my friends would always say that it's overpriced for an egg. But one morning, we decided we wanted seasonal donut holes & fancy eggs, so we came to First Watch. I was wrong. The Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl $12.79 was absolutely delicious. The Salted Caramel Holey Donuts were superb. The Farmhouse Hash $13.99 was good, but the toast was mid, and the eggs were under-cooked for over-medium. Service (5/5): Service was prompt and polite. Parking (5/5): There is a parking lot. It can get packed fast, but there's an entire shopping area next to it where you can park, so it's not an issue. I would come back for that Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl.

First time eating here. There was quite a wait at the door but we were able to sit at the bar with no wait. It was very busy but our server was very responsive. We received the wrong order but it was quickly resolved. I had a breakfast sandwich with potatoes which was very tasty. My son had the pancakes which he enjoyed. Will most likely come back again.

Always an enjoyable experience at first watch! The Morning Meditation juice was delicious. It had tumeric, ginger and a few other ingredients to make it on point. I had the smoked salmon Benedict, which was tasty. They could give a little more smoked salmon in the dish, but overall, it was still pretty good. Loved the poached eggs in this dish. The service is always very good here. I will definitely be back!

Elevated Egg Sandwich is the ultimate! Bacon, an over-easy cage-free egg, Gruyère cheese, fresh smashed avocado, mayo and lemon-dressed arugula on a brioche bun with a side of fresh, seasoned potatoes. Never fails to please! The fried egg is perfect as the yolk gushes out with every bite. The bacon is a generous amount and perfectly cooked. There is a layer of mashed, creamy avocado. The arugula is also in the sandwich and a nice touch.

Came in on a Sunday, and boy was it packed! I had "gotten in line" for a table online with an estimated table availability from 45 minutes to an hour and 15 minutes wait time. I was hoping for a 45-minute one to an hour wait time, but they did end up seating us a little over an hour and 15 minutes of the estimated wait time. It wasn't that big of a deal really, but I was a little bit impatient because I was starving. The staff were really friendly and calm, especially during a really busy time. I appreciated the staff's patience while I was a little bit hangry! They were quick and pretty good with the table turnovers as well. The dining area and the tables were all fairly clean even halfway through a busy Sunday morning and a full dining area. The only thing I would've liked was to have been checked on a little sooner after getting our food because I needed my water to be refilled. It took me a couple tries to get our server's attention so I can ask for more water. It's a great spot for breakfast or brunch for small or big groups. It wasn't too loud when we had gone even with several families with children. There is a bar for people who prefer and for people who like to eat alone, too! My mom ordered the chickichanga; my dad had the smoked salmon fritata and seasoned potatoes. I chose the Works Omelet with seasoned potatoes instead of the greens. I loved my Works omelet and my parents enjoyed their dishes as well. There was only one thing that we didn't like: my and my dad's potatoes were a tad bit too salty for our taste. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and now know to "get in line" for a table sooner rather than later or arrive early! We will definitely be back again.
