Anytime you have to sit with your coat on to be comfortable, where is the heat?

I should start by saying I tried to deliver this feedback directly to management but couldn’t find anyone and they provide no email address on the receipt or anything like that.
I’ve been eating here for over a year, and the quality has declined noticeably. This is currently the worst First Watch in Wilmington. the Mayfaire location is consistently better. I’d like to see this location improve since it’s much closer. If it does, I’ll gladly update my review.

Front-of-house appearance is below even casual standards. Shirts look wrinkled, grooming is inconsistent, and the overall presentation feels unclean. Basic uniform, grooming, and cleanliness expectations need to be enforced.

Several basics are failing. Guests are allowed to smoke or vape at tables. Decor and finishes are visibly dirty, with stained upholstered chairs, dusty lights and hanging elements, and sticky floors with built-up grime. The lack of soft materials makes the space loud, cold, and echoey, and there are too few booths. Service has also dropped. Coffee is no longer poured, just left in a pot. Overall cleanliness, atmosphere, and service standards need correction.

Amazing, yummy food. Fast, and courtesy staff. And some of the best coffee in town. Last but not least for me, they will not break the bank!

I had the Carne Asada breakfast tacos. They were excellent. I think they are a seasonal menu item though.

Been here many times, always has great service and great food. Can get very crowded on weekends for brunch, which can get loud.

Ordered Frittata Rustica with Italian sausage added. FANTASTIC! Lots of flavor. Even the grits were tasty. Service was great. Hailey is very pleasant and as attentive as needed. I lacked for nothing and service was timely.
