About First Watch

First Watch is a busy restaurant serving great food that’s always fresh and good. The menu offers delicious options like the Hacienda Hash and refreshing juices like the Tropical Sunrise. Friendly and attentive servers ensure a pleasant dining experience, and the customer service is often praised for being attentive and making sure the food is right. The restaurant is a delight for the palate, with a simple, double-sided menu that includes popular items like French toast with blueberry compote and million dollar bacon. Seating generally goes smoothly, although tables are close together, which may feel cramped. Parking can be limited, but it is usually accessible, with some guests needing to park in the rear lot. While prices may be steep, the consistent quality and quick service make First Watch a favorite spot for many, whether for breakfast or brunch. Recent visits highlight the generous portions, especially the Trifecta breakfast with pumpkin pancakes, and the tasty pumpkin spice donuts. Customers also enjoy the kale tonic, market hash, and lemon pancakes, which are highly recommended. The atmosphere remains welcoming, and the service is often praised for being friendly and gracious. Nearby attractions like a local bookstore offer a nice way to walk off a satisfying meal.

Morning Meditation, carrot cake pancake, & Barbacoa Quesadilla Benedict! Perfect Sunday brunch!

Potatoes not cooked enough they were still on the raw side, not soft enough. But the omelet was ok.

I always enjoying going to First Watch have never had a bad experience. The staff was outstanding.

They displayed the true meaning of hospitality with their kindness and attentiveness. Our food was phenomenal as always.

This was the first time at this location and will be back.
