Really enjoyed out Sunday AM breakfast. Food was plentiful and cooked perfectly. Atmosphere was a tad noisy, but it was Sunday morning. Waitress prompt, friendly and efficient. Only down side was the coffee. It was noticeably strong for my wife and I. We will return (and ask for OJ, or tea). Tip: arrive before 8am to beat the church crowd.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

This was the first time a First Watch had a bar which is perfect for people eating alone. I ordered the Traditional breakfast with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, fresh fruit versus breakfast potatoes and wheat toast plus a small orange juice. Excellent service at the bar. Food came out hot. The quantity of the scrambled eggs seemed a little light. They lightly seasoned the eggs which was good. They give you large slices of bacon and it was crispy which is how I ordered it. The fruit was in good shape and most of it tasted sweet. The toast was prepared nicely. The vibe felt upbeat and friendly.

The roast beef sandwich might be my new go-to. The cheesecake Holey Donuts were the ultimate sweet treat, and the fresh strawberries were the perfect finishing touch. The Cobb salad was loaded with toppings, and everything tasted fantastic. My only complaint is that my carryout order took about 20 minutes longer than the time given online, and by the time I received it, the sandwich wasn’t hot almost like it had been sitting in the back for a while before being brought up
