Great place. I tried something new and it’s wasn’t so great — to me anyway. But the waiter, Molly, was great. And the joint is pretty nice.

2/1/2026 I just finished my breakfast here. Chefs Kiss !!! I had a seasonal menu option chimmichuri steak and eggs. Everything my party and I had was amazing!!! Our server, Stone ( love that name) was superb !!!! Definitely worth the wait.

Always reliable, consistent and great! It can get VERY busy at the weekends. There is plenty of free parking available. Staff are attentive, positive and quick. Lemon pancakes are amazing!

Overcooked meal, service mediocre and no adjustment for the replacement. Not a good outcome for First Watch which has been consistent in the past.

The a.m. superfoods bowl is so good! Menu has a lot of options and a good amount of healthier options. Friendly and quick service. Great location, but can get busy.

Normally this place is spot on. Food is good service is good. But not today. Our waitress must be stressed from the holidays. Inattentive and forgetful.
Food was disappointing. Potatoes burnt and inedible. All in all, disappointing.

Staff is extremely rude when placing to-go orders. They don’t answer the phone during lunch hours — I called 9 times and spent my entire break just trying to order. When someone finally answered, I was left on hold for over 20 minutes, which ruined my whole lunch. The manager, Josh, offered nothing but a dismissive “I’m sorry.” If you value your lunch break, don’t waste your time here.
