To go orders usually take about 15 mins. Check your bag before leaving. They seem to forget to add syrups and jellies. Other than that, food is excellent

Truly truly an exceptional experience. From the food, drinks, and service to the atmosphere, we were beyond pleased. This was the first place we received quality food and the prices were great! Clearly, management has set the tone, and created a healthy culture, because our server was great also.

This will definitely be our go to place when we're in the area.

The entire experience was amazing. The food was presented beautifully and it tasted great. I fell in love with the lemon ricotta and I paired it with the blueberry sauce on my waffle. The manager Rico was very nice. I will visit this location again.

We sat outside on 11/9/2024. It took a while for someone to wait on us. We had to ask the host for a server even though 2 or 3 servers had brought food outside already and didn't even glance our way. Once a server was assigned and he took our order, he was back with our drinks in good time.
The tables were not set up with any condiments and they should have been if they were seating diners outside. We had to ask for cream and sugar for our coffee. Our server brought our food out and it was pretty quick service from when we ordered. The food was hot and delicious! We needed some things and our server looked really busy. However, I noticed a congregation of servers behind the host/hostess stand on several occasions. I'm not sure why they were not busy but they sure weren't helping out and neither was the host. They were socializing. I don't have a problem with servers socializing, but if one server is really busy and the others aren't, that seems to be an issue to me. Quit goofing off and help your fellow server. He wasn't goofing off.

This First Watch at Lake Boone Trail location is a popular spot for delicious breakfast and brunch. The food is fresh, tasty and generous, plus friendly service, and inviting atmosphere. The menu offers a variety of options, from classic breakfast dishes to healthier choices. If you're craving pancakes, omelets, or avocado toast, you're sure to find something to satisfy your appetite. I do recommend this location as the out door seating is really nice, roomy and separate ...

The outdoor space was very cute! Our service was quick and our server was very friendly! Food was pretty good as well, but I loved the mimosas the most. I recommend this for a nice intimate brunch location

Great food but the service needs improvement. Our waitress never once asked us if we needed anything or offered refills. She was a little dismissive when we asked questions too. I've been to much better restaurants... even the location on Hillsborough has better service.

The iced coffee had an interesting flavor, similar to that of alcohol.
