First Watch is consistently very good for breakfast. The food arrives quickly and pancakes are still hot off the grill. The reasons I don’t give it a 5-stars is the coffee is often not as hot as I prefer it and the noise levels are very high when it’s busy, making it difficult to converse since the sound reverberates and the tables are close together.

We were in town visiting OSU and we had heard of this place since they have a few locations back home in Chicago burbs. Glad we ate here before we headed home. Great food, friendly service and restaurant was very clean. Food was served fast which was appreciated.

The only food items I would recommend are the French toast, the berry sauce and the jelly are absolutely amazing as well. Their coffee is light and smooth, one of the best I've had.Parking: Parking is shared with the Chipotle on the block, it's located on the south side of the building.

The food was outstanding. We were seated right next to the kitchen, which is very loud, so table conversation was minimal. They put avocados in everything. Our waitress left while we were still eating. She was very kind and informed us that she was leaving. A different waitress took over. We were given her name, but had no idea who she was. A guest at our table asked an Hispanic woman for strawberry jelly and the look she gave our guest was murderous. She was so rude, angry and condescending to us. We quickly understood that this was not her job and she didn’t want to do anything for us. She did go and get our waitress though. No one at our table tipped after that. I’m sure no one at our table will return to your establishment. You have a staffing issue, because most of the time this angry bus person was just standing around. Other than that, she walked back and forth past our table giving us angry glares. I truly could have gone the rest of my life without seeing a friend get treated this way. Maybe it would be better to have the waitresses stay until their tables are finished.Parking: We parked about 3 blocks away and walked to the restaurant. We were fine with that, but maybe others would not be. That parking lot looks tight and I didn’t want my car scratched.
