10 Best Vegan Restaurants in Windermere

“The food is always great here! Next time your in make sure to ask for Sam he was the best.“

“I love this place, however I had an experience on 5/1 that I wasn’t thrilled with and it’s very difficult to find a way to contact to give feedback so I had to resort to a FB review. My mom and I visited on 5/1. Our server spilled most of a Champagne Papi onto my lap. I totally understand mistakes happen, however, not once did anyone ask me if I needed anything. The server (I have the name but don’t want to blast all over FB) never asked me if I was Ok, she just simply said she’d be right back with another one, but it was all of the floor, my shorts, my shirt and splashed my mom across the table. I thought maybe she’d be right back with napkin or towel but she didn’t, so I went to the bathroom to try to clean up, but so surprised that no one ever followed up with me. I’m not sure if maybe she was so embarrassed that she didn’t want to tell anyone, or what happened, but I sat in wet shorts the entire time. Thankfully, the pink dye came out of everything, but still am surprised no one ever checked in. Maybe this is standard for you guys, but I wanted to share in case this is not normal.“

“The Food is Amazing!! We sat at the bar inside and the bartender was very sweet and attentive. We don't drink so I don't know how the beer is but the food is freaking amazing! Highly recommend!“

“I must say this location left a lasting impression! We’ve been to other First Watch restaurants before, but this one truly stood out for its attention to detail, warm hospitality, and how well they handled every part of our visit.

One of the biggest challenges I usually face when dining out for breakfast or brunch is getting my eggs cooked “medium” a seemingly simple request that rarely comes out right. Too often, the yolk is completely cooked through or the whites are left too soft and runny, which can really throw off the meal. But here? They nailed it. The eggs were cooked to absolute perfection, with a nice runny center and fully cooked whites—just how I like them. It might seem like a small thing, but for me, it’s a huge deal and a rare win in breakfast dining. I genuinely appreciated the kitchen staff for taking the time to get it right.

We also tend to order quite a bit of food—yes, there were only two of us, but we love to sample a variety of dishes. Because of that, we usually ask for a booth and a large table so everything fits comfortably. I know some places can be a bit resistant to this when it’s just two people, but the staff here was extremely accommodating. They kindly asked us to wait for a booth to open, and even though we expected it might take a while, it was ready in less than five minutes. That little gesture made a big difference, and it set the tone for what turned out to be an absolutely pleasant dining experience.

Throughout the meal, the service continued to shine. Everyone we interacted with from the host to the server was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about creating a great experience for us. It’s that kind of customer service that truly sets a place apart.

The food overall was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We enjoyed every bite, and the relaxed, clean, and well-lit dining area made for a perfect brunch setting. The booth was comfy, the coffee flowed easily, and we never felt rushed.

This First Watch location just gets it right from the kitchen staff who respect how you want your food prepared, to the front-of-house team who go the extra mile to make you feel welcomed and accommodated. It’s rare to find a place that checks all the boxes, but this one does.

We’ll definitely be returning and recommending it to friends and family in the area. Huge kudos to the entire team at this First Watch, thank you for a delicious, stress-free, and feel-good brunch experience. You’ve earned loyal customers with this visit!“

“The food was wonderful, it was a lot to have (I had Biryani with Lamb) and it was so much I had to take it home and it filled the entire togo box! The people were very sweet, I loved the decor and it was overall and a wonderful atmosphere! It was wonderful, the food tasted well and according to its spice level. Wonderful for the price and place and would come again ❤️❤️!!“

“I want to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding staff at this Panera Bread location. While the food is always great, it's the incredible customer service that truly keeps me coming back.

The team here consistently goes above and beyond, and their friendly and cheerful demeanor never fails to brighten my day. I'd like to specifically recognize John, Mat, and Roberta, who are shining examples of this. They don't just serve customers; they genuinely get to know us. I always appreciate our friendly chats, which make me feel like a valued customer, not just a transaction.

It's clear that they take great pride in their work and the cafe itself. I constantly see them tidying up and making sure the space is clean and welcoming. Their hard work and positive attitude create such a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Thank you to the entire team, and especially to John, Mat, and Roberta, for their dedication and for making every single one of my visits a better experience. They are truly the heart of this cafe.“
