First Watch always delivers! I love going any of their restaurants, no matter where we are traveling because I know I can expect quality and satisfaction.

Service was great, needless to say! I ordered the Frittata Rustica (Italian inspired) omlette for the first time, and it was exactly what I wanted! Sooo delicious! I was VERY happy and satisfied during this visit. It hit the spot! 👏🤤

My husband and I went here for breakfast. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. The server gave us two menus - the regular one and a seasonal one. I asked her whether the Elote breakfast burrito was good and she said yes. Also, she advised that the seasonal menu would be gone in a few days, so if there was anything we were interested in, we should go ahead and try it before it's gone. I ordered the shrimp and grits and my husband ordered the Elote breakfast burrito. Both items were good. My husband said the burrito had lots of different flavors, and the hollandaise sauce really enhanced the flavors. He’d have liked more of the sauce, lol. He also said it would have tasted even better if the sausage from my shrimp and grits had been in his burrito! The million dollar bacon was really good! We didn't taste any cayenne, but the combination of syrup, pepper, and bacon was wonderful. The only complaint would be the size of the bacon. We thought it was going to be thicker and that the strips were going to be a little longer. My watermelon wake-up was very tasty - wasn't too sweet, but was less sweet than I thought it would be (not a bad thing though). My husband had coffee and he said it was pretty good. Overall for the food, we give a rating of 8 out of 10. What we also enjoyed were the cards you can get from the table by the front door. It was fun asking each other riddles and 'would you rather' questions!!! We had a fun breakfast experience here, and our server was awesome! She checked on us the perfect amount of times (not too little, not too much). I highly recommend this place!

First went in Charlottesville and fell in love with the Biscuits with Turkey Sausage Gravy and eggs.

This location is brand new and has some kinks to work out. I'll try again in a month or two.

Bacon tasted burnt in the Cobb salad, ruined my whole appetite. Plus, I was initially seated at a table below a leaky pipe.

Service was very good. Food was excellent. The only problem with the atmosphere is it could be very loud in there. That’s all I have to say.

Somehow this breakfast place gives people runny egg whites every time you order over medium eggs.

They are eggs folks, the staple of break. You can serve all the overpriced bacon you want, if you can't cook eggs properly, leave the breakfast game!
