My first visit to the restaurant food was good, but the service was not impressive at all. The quantity for the price was worth the almost 2 hour wait. The waitress never introduced herself and was quite condescending. My daughter ordered the breakfast platter, and she received pieces of bacon. I asked for strips of bacon, and she asked if I wanted to order a side of bacon. We were seated first in a corner. The waitress came out and took the orders of the people that were seated after us. When I mentioned it to her, she didn't apologize merely acted as if I didn't say anything. *the pic is of my food

Our family had two orders of seasoned potatoes, side of bacon, million dollar bacon, and kids waffle with fruit. The staff were friendly and service was in a timely manner. Only criticism is some of the seasoned potatoes were extremely burnt, completely inedible. I just removed those an placed them to the side. I would just say if some were burnt while cooking, don't serve them. The coffee was not my favorite, but overall I would return and we had a good experience! Vegetarian options: They do have these on the menu. Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly, but good for friends, couples, etc. Parking: Lots of parking options.

First time visiting this location, but not my first time eating at First Watch. Maybe today was just a bad day, but nonetheless it was a BAD DAY. Food was great, service awful! We ordered the Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl, the Avacado Toast and the Farmstand Breakfast Tacos. We waited almost 15 minutes for someone to visit our table once we were sat, another 10 minutes to receive water. Waited a long time for refills, and when the food was delivered 1 entree was missing. My boyfriend was almost done with his entrees before my entree arrived. I won't come back to this location anytime soon.
