I went there for the first time recently.Got the turkey burger, bacon omelette, and French toast.The food was amazing and it came out faster than expected. Their bacon is tasty. I don't know why, but their bacon is tastier than the bacon I'm used to.Staff were friendly and helpful.I'm definitely a returning customer.

Passed by countless times and each time the restaurant is packed… that’s always a good sign. My assistant and I couldn’t figure out where to go so we decided to try First Watch on Cooper St. Timing is everything! Seated immediately upon arrival, greeted by our server Trinity who was simply the best! This had to be one of the best breakfast experiences in a very long time. The service was exceptional, the menu offers a great variety of options. This is the first restaurant that we’ve tried to offer turkey and chicken sausage. Minor detail for some but major for us. There’s a juice bar, gluten free options, sandwiches, salads and more all served with fresh in season produce. The restaurant was bright and cheery with a diverse group of customers. We were a bit disappointed to see the patio full upon arrival but extremely pleased with the dine in experience. Actually, we preferred the dine in option…that’s a first but if you stop in you’ll see why. The energy, the vibe, the staff, the food and experience was everything we hope for when deciding to dine out. Remember timing is everything! They were packed with guests waiting upon our departure. Oh, by the way, my plated was cleaned cleaned?

Good ambiance! Not recommended Power Breakfast Quinoa bowl.

Place has good variety of food, amazing drinks and coffees, friendly staff. Pricing is reasonable and the atmosphere is great. Love coming here for breakfast and recommend this place to anyone who has not been here for breakfast/brunch.

This place is great! Went on a Friday for brunch and it was packed! We were told the wait would be about 20 minutes but in about 10 minutes our table was ready — the food was delicious! Loveeee the homemade potatoes. My wife had the purple juice (can’t remember the name) and she loved it. Remembered to take a pic of the food once it was all gone lol sorry! KUDOS to First Watch ‘& it’s service

This is my favorite spot for breakfast. This was my third time to visit so I tried their BLT EGGS BENEDICT. They were delicious, hot, and did I mention delicious. Their potatoes remind me of my mom's breakfast potatoes so I get them as a side if it doesn't already come with the food I ordered. I didn't want tell anyone about this place as I don't want it to get too full or busy but their food is too well prepared and their staff are so friendly I cannot resist to highly recommend First Warch.

Fresh, homey, and delicious!We arrived on a Saturday morning around 10am and there was 10min wait. The restaurant was full but spacious. We ordered the farmhouse skillet, lemon greens, market omelette, and a multigrain pancake. We also had their fresh juices. One was a morning sunrise with beet juice, so good! Coffee was smooth and relaxing just as the whole experience. We’ll have to bring the kids next time!

Went for brunch after church. They had a neat feature on their web page where you could "get in line". However, when I tried to use it, I kept getting "database errors". It finally let me reserve a spot in line when we got to the parking lot. It said we had a 20-30 minute wait but it ended up being a little less than 20 minutes. They tried to put us at a table by the door where everyone coming in was congregating and we declined. So we waited a few more minutes while they bussed a table farther back in the restaurant. Once we were seated, our server was there quickly to take our drink orders. Unfortunately, they were out of Diet Coke, which is my drink of choice. So I settled for water. The menu we received seemed to have a lot more choices on it than what I saw on their website. There were a variety of traditional and unique items. The food that was coming out of the kitchen all looked delicious. Two of our group had the Traditional Breakfast, one had the Tri-Fecta and I had the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict. Here' the verdict... My wife loved their blueberry pancake. And she let me try a bite and I agreed. Lots of blueberries, great flavor and their pancakes are very large. The pancakes are multi-grain but we love that. Three in our group had bacon with their meal and they all agreed that the bacon was outstanding. By the same token, three of us had the potatoes and we all also agreed that we wished we hadn't. They were bland and unevenly cooked (some pieces were well done and some were still crunchy). Two folks had their whole grain artisan toast and really enjoyed that. And one person had a biscuit and he's picky about biscuits. He said it was "good but not great" which from him is a pretty good recommendation. I had the Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon. I like Eggs Benedict and I love smoked salmon so it seemed like a good pairing. But I was disappointed with the end result. With the eggs and onion and hollandaise, it really hid a lot of the smoked salmon flavor. But I also don't think, from the piece I pulled out to taste alone, that it was the best quality smoked salmon I've ever had or that it had a lot of flavor. It seemed to be more raw than smoked (It's a good thing I like sashimi.) and was there more in name than in the spirit of smoked salmon. The hollandaise didn't have a lot of flavor either. If I were to return or try another location, I think I'd go for one of their "bowl" dishes which seem to be a specialty of theirs.

Honestly a really good breakfast place! I ordered the classic eggs benedict with potatoes and a chocolate chip pancake on the side. Everything tasted amazing! My only thing is I wish the egg yolks were runny but maybe that was just because I didn’t specify. Flavor wise however, everything was a 10/10! The chocolate chip pancake was one of the best i’ve ever had so I definitely recommend that. Overall I gave it 4 stars just bc I felt like it wasn’t my personal vibe but it’s still an amazing spot to get breakfast or brunch at!

Great service Quick service Food was good Accommodated our party of 15
