Crema's Take

“First Watch is a brunch destination where the food quality justifies the wait—reviewers rave about house-made juices, elevated egg dishes, and creative bowls that taste as good as they photograph. The vibe skews family-friendly and social rather than serious coffee-focused, so visit early if you want a quieter experience, but expect lively crowds and beautiful plating that makes this feel more like a celebration than a quick caffeine stop.”

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First Watch Review I usually take pictures of my food before eating, but this time I couldn’t wait—it was that good! I ordered the Power Bowl with Italian sausage, quinoa, roasted tomatoes, and mushrooms, and it was absolutely delicious. Every bite was packed with flavor…

Very good food. I love the healthy options if you are looking for more heart healthy food. My family loves the food here. We like to go early if you want less of a crowd since it can get very busy. We took pictures of the eaten food instead of food that was not eaten.

We had a nice brunch at this restaurant. Good food quality. The salmon egg Benedict’s were good. But our favorite had been the M$ potato’s and the ELEVATED EGG SANDWICH. The house made juices are so good and fresh. The serves was friendly but very busy. All in all a good brunch…

Great atmosphere. Great menu. Our brunch cocktails were presented beautifully. The bacon starter was fantastic. My wife had breakfast tacos which were yummy. My only critique is that the eggs on my Eggs Benedict were way overcooked. Nearly hard-boiled. Solid yolks and firm white.

The food was very delicious! I was worried about the shallots in the Smoked Salmon Frittata but they were cooked very well. Just delectable! My husband’s dish was called the works and it had great flavors, and delicious. I would highly recommend going to First Watch
