I think we must have come on an off morning. My avocado toast, while on point for taste had temperature issues. The avocado was very cold to the point that the toast was barely room temperature, the eggs which I expected to be slightly runny in the yolk we're cooked hard. My husband's "toast" was nothing more than warm bread.

Calm and relaxing place for a variety of eaters. Each time I order my eggs benedict/flurentine, my sides are different/inconsistent, and I need to explain my preference to get it. Sometimes it is with a charge and other times it is not. It is very annoying because the Raleigh branch is pretty consistent. Food is fulfilling and healthy. Love the fresh juices. Not the best coffee, however.

Ok, first let me say we really do like First Watch and usually go to the Cary location and love it.Today we went to the Apex location and it was not the same. The food was not as good, the servers were obviously too busy and did not come back to check on us to offer refills or anything else for that matter. We also ordered the new cinnamon roll and to say huge disappointment would not be capturing how bad it was, did not look anything like the picture on everyone’s table cards....
