First Watch

This is a great breakfast/brunch place. The staff is always personable and helpful. We like their menu, and the food usually comes out quick enough. We have food allergies in our family, and we feel comfortable eating here and have never had a problem eating here.I ordered the Ham and Gruyere melt with the soup of the day which was cheddar broccoli soup. The sandwich was delicious and filling. The Dijonnaise sauce was a nice addition to the sandwich and the soup had great flavor and nice size chunks of broccoli.My oldest had the Tres Leches French toast which is currently a seasonal item that I thought looked amazing and she really enjoyed it.If you have not been here, you should try them out!

We have enjoyed previous visits to First Watch restaurants in other areas so held high expectations. Unfortunately, our experience was only average. We were greeted immediately, sat at a table for two, and received our drink order right away. It was nice to have a carafe of coffee and a pitcher of ice water. Off to a good start. We drink decaf, which can be risky if the coffee has been sitting around too long. This coffee was fresh but had an unusual flavor, as if it was a coffee concentrate and not fresh brewed. Each cup was close to $4.00, a bit steep, in our opinion. Our server was friendly and attentive five throughout our meal. Very good service all the way around. A big plus. I was interested in the lemon ricotta pancakes yet also wanted some protein. Our server recommended the Trifecta, which came with meat and egg. Perfect. She said any of the pancake and waffle items could be chosen with the Trifecta. The entree was good, but not wonderful. We were also surprised when paying our bill to be charged an additional $3 per pancake (lemon ricotta cake with two pancakes), totaling close to $20 for the breakfast .... Unexpected, steep and not a great value for the quality of the breakfast. My husband ordered the chickichanga. It sounded great, yet looked odd.... Like a wrap with gravy. It was warm, not hot. It lacked flavor for a Mexican-inspired entree. The seating is ample and the dining room is modern and clean. The open, high ceiling atmosphere is also quite loud as the dining area was full when we were dining at this location. Fine, yet a bit stimulating for our taste. Not sure we would choose to return for another visit with all the great dining choices in the area. The food was only OK and the price point seems high.

Seated quickly on a Friday morning! I got the tres leches strawberry French toast. Pretty tasty! Service was good, and the ambiance was open and casual. I always love the quality of food at first watch.

We had a great server today as FW was very busy. We were seated pretty quickly as we got there just after nine. They are offering a few additions for the Holidays right now but I ordered off the traditional menu. I ordered the biscuit with turkey gravy and two eggs and seasonal potatoes. The biscuit was cooked the way I liked it. It was soft and delicious and the gravy had a thick consistency. For me personally, the meal tasted heavy on the salt and pepper and the potatoes had a somewhat spicy different flavor to them. For my palette it's a bit strong but for others it's probably fine. I had plenty of food and next time will get the pancake as it's my favorite place for a pancake.

I love First Watch! It was my first time trying their salmon fritatta, and I don't regret it! Tasted fantastic!

Don't miss this place: I give First Watch Apex five out of five stars!This fun breakfast spot is our go-to place when we are wanting to celebrate a milestone, a holiday, or when we just want to enjoy a tasty and satisfying breakfast or lunch! We can always count on great service with a smile here, along with creative breakfast and lunch offerings, which change with the seasons. They even offer fresh-squeezed juices!

This was the first visit for the hubby and I to First Watch. First impression when I opened the door was this might take a while. But thankfully it was a line checking out and I was the only one waiting for a table. Got seated quickly. The vibe is farm to table meets industrial. It's an open space with booths and tables. We came on a Friday morning at 10:30. I wanted breakfast and the hubby wanted lunch. That worked out well. The menu is quite large. We had the Million $ Bacon as an appetizer. The hubby had half sandwich (Monterey Club) and Squash Soup with a Coke Zero. I had the Million $ Harvest Hash and coffee. The coffee was good and there was a selection of international delight coffee flavorings at the table. Service was fast. Our server was delightful. The food tasted very fresh. Because it was an open area it did get loud at times. Overall good experience and I would definitely come again.

Saturday morning are busy but we were seated pretty quickly. I don't love that coffee is offered seemingly free when it's actually almost $4. We had to flag the waitress down to remember our drinks but again it was a busy Saturday. The food was very tasty however on this particular day they were down to 1 waffle maker so it came later in the meal. Seems like a miss not to have more than 2 waffle makers. I would probably go back again because they do have a constant rotation of seasonal menu items and cocktails. Make sure you are in the mood to relax and not rush when you eat here. They also have a lot of tables in a single room with an open kitchen, which means it will be noisy.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and juices. Everything was fresh and delicious, service was prompt.Amber was great!

Here for the second time this week. Food is always consistent and comes out quick. It's a very relaxed amousphere, even though it is usually busy. They have great coffee and are always super accommodating! Our server, Maddie, was very friendly, and checked on us just the right amount!
