I love coming here. I get services at Milan Laser hair removal and treat myself to First Watch afterward to feel fancy. I just get the oatmeal and a kale tonic, but it's decked out! This time strawberries bananas and walnuts w brown sugar. Last time it was huge blueberries. The oats are steel cut and delicious. It comes with a delicious blueberry muffin, which I usually take home. The place is always full, but never noisy. It's homey and the servers are en pointe....

This restaurant chain was recommended by a friend. The location was chosen bc of its ratings. We had a satisfying and satiating experience- the people, food and atmosphere were all good. Would definitely return. The Million Dollar Bacon & Belgian waffle were rated 🤤 by my dining partner. The lemon-infused mixed greens nicely complemented the Ham & Gruyère sandwich.

February 2026

The food was absolutely fantastic! The service was lightning-fast, and the staff really knew their stuff. They offered insightful recommendations that truly enhanced the experience.
