First Watch is an excellent choice for breakfast or brunch, offering a wide variety of delicious dishes. The service is praised as efficient, even when the restaurant is busy, with servers like Christine receiving high marks for their friendliness. Customers enjoy the spiked watermelon drinks and the elote breakfast burrito, both rated 10/10. The cook is often praised for making eggs basted medium, considered some of the best ever. The pumpkin pancake and million dollar bacon are also highly recommended, with some mentioning the French toast, potatoes, eggs, toast, jam, and coffee as exceptional, tasting fresh and free from preservatives. Customers appreciate the many options, making it hard to choose, and recommend trying the restaurant even for regulars. While the restaurant is known for its great food and service, some customers have mentioned issues with the payment system, which can lead to long lines and a frustrating checkout process. The restaurant is also accommodating to dietary restrictions, making it a good option for those with food allergies. Additionally, First Watch provides a nice kids menu, making it kid-friendly. While the atmosphere can get loud due to the busy environment and the kitchen being close to the seating area, the unique window seats, which resemble a greenhouse, add to the charm. Overall, First Watch remains a popular destination for those seeking a satisfying morning or midday meal, though it is recommended not to visit for dinner.
