My main course, the Blackberry Lemon Cream French Toast, was a delightful symphony of flavors that danced on my palate. Accompanying my meal was the Honey Caramel Crunch iced coffee cold foam drink, a masterpiece of sweet and salty notes topped with luscious cream and toffee crumbles. It was love at first sip!My friend opted for the Belgian Waffle and Market Hash with Scrambled Eggs, a hearty meal that challenged even his appetite.

“The location is tightly situated when it comes to parking, but the food and service make up for any inconvenience. The greeter/register attendants were gracious. Our server was so friendly and jovial that our interaction was quite memorable. Unfortunately, I'm horrible with names, so I can't give him the most deserving shout-out. I am a picky eater and hate all grenery that is usually garnishing your meal. Our server must have relayed super specific instructions for the chef because everything I don't like was in little tin cups to the side. I truly enjoyed my meal thanks to him. The restaurant quickly became crowded, but it was truly understandable as to why. Keep up the great job, First Watch Team. We thank you!!!“

“The best food ever. The two men were so polite. Best customer service ever. I had the crab and shrimp wrap, which was amazing. My daughter had the spinach and mushroom omelet, Also delicious. This was my first time eating here, but it was definitely not my last.“

“Good food, friendly service. The pancakes were very good and Mo’s wrap was tasty. Only complaints are long wait time once seated and long service time for food, but it did seem like there was 1 person cooking and 1 person doing all the orders and checks.“
