Located in Clift Farms, First Watch is a wonderful place to go for breakfast, brunch, or even lunch. This sit down restaurant offers a wide range menu and sets the bar high for what a morning meal should be.
The architecture and decor both inside and out is very modern and simple.
They have plenty of seating from booths, to tables, to bar seating, and even outside seating for those beautiful days. The floor to ceiling windows give a lot of natural light making the morning even more enjoyable. First Watch prides themselves on their fresh ingredients and innovative dishes. They also pride themselves on their accommodating dietary restrictions and have plenty of gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options. On top of their wide food choices, they also have plenty of drink choices whether it’s coffee, tea, or freshly squeezed juice from the juice bar.
I went to First Watch on a weekday around 11 and it wasn’t super busy. We had about 5 parties in front of us and only had a wait of 10 minutes but I know on the weekends it gets busy fast. I got the traditional breakfast with their bacon and it was really good. The eggs were cooked well, the bacon was crispy, and the potatoes were seasoned and cooked to perfection. Our service was really good as well and overall had a great experience. Now if you need more than one opinion Katie Doughtery, a Bob Jones senior, says, “I thought that the food was very good. I ordered the French toast with a side of potatoes. The food came out at a reasonable time and it was clearly freshly made. The toast was very light but it was also filling. My toast was served with a small cup of jam which tasted fresh and delicious. The potatoes were soft and seasoned to perfection. The side was large enough to share or just ordered as its own meal. I think that there is enough seating in the building. The only downside is when it gets busy the tables fill up quickly. Our waitress was kind and very friendly. Overall I rate first watch a 4 out of 5 stars. My only quarrel was the pricing, I think that there are cheaper places to get breakfast but the food was very good so I have to give them credit for that”
In conclusion, First Watch is an amazing brunch spot with plenty to offer. Their food is light on your stomach but still delish and filling. I wouldn’t go another day without trying it if I were you.
