I always have a great experience here... That staff is friendly and personable.. food is great, fast and consistent.. make sure to say hello to Ray at the front.. great people.. I usually do breakfast but they have a good strawberry salad for lunch too.

My boyfriend and I frequent this restaurant whenever we are in town. It has options for the both of us, which is very hard to find considering I am picky about health and he prefers as many calories and as much fat as possible. The staff is very friendly and the food is made quickly. We have never had a problem with how the food was made; it is always consistent. It is all very affordable, as well. If we lived in town, we would be regulars!

We have been going here for years. Service and food is good. I never took the time to write reviews on them so for 2015 I shall write! It is bright, cheerful and nice to know the staff by name. Country potatoes are not greased over, the cranberry nut pancake is almost as good as my homemade And the turkey sausage links are just like regular links-yum! when you ask for egg whites or to remove butter they don't look at you like you have 3 heads.

GREAT service, consistent and top quality food. Ate here twice in a span of days because it was really a well-prepared breakfast. The menu features some hearty food for a "guys" breakfast and lots of healthy alternatives for health-conscious women. Very well-rounded menu but not so many choices that the restaurant loses focus on the food. Biscuits and gravy was excellent, and was just the right portion size. my over-medium eggs were perfect both times I ordered - a plus for me. I left full but not uncomfotably stuffed. Great staff, very attentive and friendly. Super clean dining area.
(4)Justin O.
Great food that is not of your regular breakfast selections! I tried the Bacon & Onion hash. Awesome! Not the usual bacon and eggs. Coffee is very good as well. Place was packed, although we were seated very quickly. My associate had the Chickenchanga... Looked awesome, he was pleased. A return visit is definitely in order. Serving staff were quick and courteous.
(4)Teri D.
Good prices, nice service, you can even get $2 off your next visit by answering the survey on your bill, and pretty healthy choices. So whats the problem. I guess I'm just used to bigger portions (yeah I know, bad me) with my food. Hubs reuben was a bit small and was dry. Reubens are supposed to be sloppy and my bacon and eggs were just good. I suppose you could say the portions are what we should be eating to be healthier anyway although I did see someone with a nice sized pancake on their plate. A lot of their food because it is "healthier" has ingredients in it that I don't like or am allergic to. It happens. But if you are in the area and need something good and light for breakfast then this isn't such a bad joint.

We had a really great Father's Day breakfast here. Their welcoming smiles, quick service and great food SAVED Father's Day for us. We had to leave another establishment that morning with our party of 6 because of seating policies and abusive hostesses but the great staff at First Watch turned it all around. Two of us had the tri-fecta: eggs, meat and a huge absolutely delicious banana granola crunch pancake. The veggie omelet was very tasty, cleanly presented and the fruit fresh. The others had a variety of other items and all thought it was excellent and prepared to their liking. The attentive service was excellent with a continual flow of coffee, tea and water. Thanks First Watch!
(5)Raquel R.
I have been coming here for about 7 years now and I love it. It's not that great decor but the food is great and they offer brunch until 3. I love the hash I think it's a amazing. Otherwise they have a big menu and it's all good. The food comes out fast too so if you're looking for a quick dine in then you gotta come here .
(4)Ricky M.
After working a 18 hour shift me and my co-workers were looking for a spot that sold breakfast all day long. A few people we talked to recommended this place. I really enjoyed the neighborhood feel this place give off as well as the healthy choices they offer on there menu. I had there eggs Benedict which were pretty good. My co-workers really enjoyed there plates as well and ranted about the blueberry panckaes.
(3)Tom G.
Good spot for breakfast/brunch/lunch. They have mostly indoor seating, but some tables outside too. I had the monte cristo, which wasn't the best I've ever had, but it got the job done. The service was polite and attentive. I did like that they had TV's throughout the seating area - a rare find for a breakfast/lunch place.
(4)Angela C.
We love this place. Service is great. Prices are good. Owner is friendly and personable. Food is terrific.
(5)Emily G.
Mediocre review for a mediocre meal. Womp Womp Womp Alright its not all bad. The restaurant is quite large, its always buzzing with happy families and their menu is extensive. My 3 stars are for very slow service and a meal lacking any flavor. I ordered the "tri-athlete" breakfast: egg white veggie omelet (usually with salsa on top), side of cottage cheese and a toasted english muffin. Despite what some people may think, there is no reason why healthy meals can't be packed with flavor. Yes, even without the bacon (gasp!). The omelet was cooked decently but it didn't have any seasoning to it. Basically I struggle to rave about because I can replicate and exceed it at home. Now, my friends enjoyed their breakfast- especially the pumpkin pancakes (a specialty during the Fall only). Our server took enough time to come and refill coffee and take our orders that we often had to hunt her down so we could finish our breakfast in under 2 hours. I'm sorry this review lacks wittiness, charm or good writing. Its mediocre, kinda like First Watch. Yikes.

Excellent service... Delicious food. Nice atmosphere. So happy that we stopped by...
(5)Sarah L.
Great food, nice atmosphere. Always consistent and friendly service. The pancakes are huge! Many options for meat eaters and vegetarians.
(5)Jennifer L.
My favorite place for a quick lunch salad. I recommend the pecan dejon salad. I have had it many times. There take out service is as good as it's sit down. Always quick and have not had my order messed up once. Ate breakfast there for the first tine today. Wow! Breakfast was yummy. I recommend the protein light breakfast, egg white omelet with mushrooms.
(5)Catherine B.
The menu had an amazing selection of healthy delicious options!! It was difficult to choose only one from such great selections!! The food was healthy, good & beautifully presented. The kids meals were the perfect portion size for my hungry kiddos. The service was really friendly & great. We highly roccomend others to come here & we will be back as well.
(5)Tiffani G.
First Watch is a little taste of home for me. I had no idea this was even in the valley until I had a stay cation further up north in Scottsdale. I have literally never been disappointed in anything I've eaten here. Pancakes? Amazing. Omelet? Amazing. Skillet Hash? Well...you get it. I go here every time I'm home in Kentucky so I'm sure you could imagine how excited I was to find out it's in the desert! It's not quite as amazing as some of the other breakfast places in the valley, but when something reminds you of home it doesn't always matter. If you're nearby and can pop in, do it !
(5)Anthony B.
Decent. A good basic meal with an attempt to be creative but falls short. Clean inside but lacks personality. First time I've been here, but I believe it is either a chain or franchise. Had a utilitarian feeling.
(3)Garrett J.
Slight step up from Denny's. Take it or leave it. Just don't come with high expectations. Omelet was ok, potatoes were under cooked and coffee was meh. Wife's skillet had a large black hair-she's blond.
(2)Dave F.
First Watch guarantees me 3 items---great breakfast, free wifi and great prices. Service is unpredictable, but this trip was successful. My com-padres from work were all disappointed in how bad breakfast was at the Hyatt House, so they asked me to pick a spot to eat where we had wifi. I knew this was the spot, but could remember the name. Google was unsuccessful so I used Yelp to locate Breakfast + N Scottdale. (Note---try not to do this on the iphone in traffic on the Pima Freeway). Anyhow, Yelp got us there and every was was happy with the results. First Watch continues to deliver consistently good food in this location.
(4)Tara B.
Loved the Power Wrap!!! Loaded with Swiss cheese, mushrooms, spinach and eggs! Fresh fruit on the side tops it off!
(4)Andrea D.
I come here once a month with my girlfriends and it is always great. The food is delicious, no matter what you get in the menu. And my favorite part is that unlike many other breakfast joints, they are not pushing us to leave, we take our sweet time and they are fine with it. Additionally, we are usually a 8-15 ppl group and they handle our order just fine. Great food, clean and friendly, great service, what else can you ask for?
(5)Brian T.
Spoke to two servers an hour before our 11 year old girls soccer team was going to go there for a post game brunch. Both were wonderful and excited that we called ahead. When I spoke to the owner/manager John, he made it clear that they didn't really want our business. Said it was going to be crowded in an hour and we would be better off not coming. We took his advice and went to Over Easy. Fantastic place with great service and a very nice menu! Thanks John.
(1)Candace R.
This restaurant is near my office and me and the boy stopped in on our way back to Tempe from Carefree for breakfast this morning. There were quite a few people waiting before us, but the wait was about 20 minutes and we didn't mind waiting. We perused the menu while we were waiting and didn't take too long to order once we were seated. I got the tri-fecta with a chocolate chip pancake and a side of toast and my bf had the 1/2 lunch special with the beefeater, cobb salad, and biscuits and gravy. My meal was pretty standard, but good nonetheless. I am interested in tasting the other whole grain pancakes they have. My bf really liked his meal. The service was great and I'll definitely come back.
(4)Alex C.
A great breakfast spot! Friendly and prompt staff. Try the chickichanga. It's great!
(4)Jennifer S.
I got a mushroom and I believe green chili omelette. What they did was cook up some egg whites, then pour a can of mushrooms in the middle along with the mushroom juice/water from the can. It was one of the grossest breakfast experiences of my life. I will never go back.
(1)Andy G.
I love first watch,just not this location...I have been to this one 3 times and the manager is always rude..this time it's packed inside and as we walk in we open the door for him since he is carrying plates and he doesn't even acknowledge us. I would think he wo
(3)Treena C.
Love this place. Coffee is good, service is fast and the fresh fruit crepes are delicious. They come with a large muffin and granola. Almost too much for one person. Nice and bright inside the restaurant and seating outside as well.
(5)Linda J.
came into town for a seminar held at a local hotel & resort. last day checked out of hotel and wanted to still catch breakfast somewhere. yelped and found first watch. great find! our meal was tasty good and service was quick. check it out next time in scottsdale, az.
(5)Scott D.
I enjoyed my maiden voyage to First Watch this past Sunday. My wife and I were here early before 9am so there weren't the crowds that I have read about in past reviews. I had "The Traditional" which consists of two eggs scrambled with 4 turkey sausage links plus an English muffin and fresh seasoned country potatoes. This was a filling breakfast and just the right amount of food. I really enjoyed the Turkey Sausage Links plus they gave you 4 of them instead of the standard 2 you get from most places. The service was perfect, not overbearing, not too little. And what is really cool is that other servers will pick up the ball and refill your drink or answer questions, etc. Prices seem reasonable as well, so it looks like I have found a good "go to" breakfast place.
(4)Judi M.
My friend and I knew we wanted to try First Watch when another reviewed mentioned their disappointment with all the egg white and turkey options on the menu. "That's our kind of place!" we determined. Both of us are 55 year old women, loving breakfast but watching calories, needing protein but leery of fat. Not by choice but necessity, mind you. First Watch is now OUR PLACE! During a week long visit to Scottsdale, we found it on Day 3 and ate there three times. While everything we ordered from the Healthy Option menu was well-prepared and delicious, we both fell in love with the Avocado Toast. We opted to ditch calories for healthy fats and it was worth it. Totally amazing - not guac but just pure avocado with a drizzle of olive oil and lemon. The attitude of all of our servers were warm, friendly, helpful, and attentive. I am now a committed First Watch fan and even though there are no restaurants in CO where I live, I am looking for them wherever my upcoming travels take me. Like Jacksonville next week - woo hoo!
(5)Shan L.
I just moved to AZ from Honolulu with my bf and found this to be a great breakfast / brunch place. They do close at 2:30pm. On my last visit, I ordered the amazing "2 for you"! You get the choice of a half sandwich & either soup or salad for $7.95...WHAT A DEAL!! I ordered the Monterey Club & the No. 5 Chinese salad. What an amazingly refreshing lunch! I highly recommend this day cafe, this may not be the best review, but if you stop by the line may sway you:)
(4)Stephany B.
If it's about food quality, this is the place. Everything from the syrup to the corned beef is outstanding. Even the chocolate used in the chocolate chip pancakes is top quality. The waffles are light and crisp and the pancakes are made from scratch. The potatoes are cooked and seasoned perfectly. It's not trendy and unique but definitely good fare.
(4)Sarah Y.
The First Watch is just ok. I like the concept and that are many healthful items. I also appreciate that nutritional information is readily available. I typically get the Tri-Athlete Omelet meal. It's an egg white omelet with onions, tomato, and green chilis. I typically ask for feta in the omelet and they do not really put enough. It's usually just a sprinkling on top. The onions inside are always undercooked and have a straw like texture since they are shredded. The English Muffin is typically chewy, like it's toasted for too short of a time. Their Hummus Wrap is pretty bland. I do, however, like their pancakes. You can choose from a variety of mixins. I've had blueberry banana and chocolate chip banana. They are always really well cooked. They should really do "healthy" a little bit better, with better cooking technique and spices. Also, don't be so stingy with the cheese! Their chamomile tea is really good.
(3)Marc S.
This breakfast place was a nice surprise. The hostesses up front were very friendly and accommodating. This restaurant is a little deceiving because it's Ina strip mall and my wife and I thought it was a bank, lol. The decor and atmosphere is very nice and clean. They have a fairly large space. The service was great. They have a great menu of diverse breakfast items, including healthy breakfast bowls if you desire. The food was very good. Would definitely recommend a try, I don't think you will be disappointed.
(5)Joanne R.
Waffle was soggy and undercooked. I ordered the waffle special and will not order that again. Bacon was burnt but a new order was OK. Bacon was not crisp but favorable according to my husband. They do not have much on menu for vegetarians. Also they tend to season with pepper in a lot of items.
(2)Mikal P.
I'm not sure why people would give this place anything less than a perfect rating. If you are looking for a nice breakfast or brunch spot, why go anywhere else. I've been 4 times and every time the food is delicious. The ingredients are natural. One of the best breakfast spots in town.
(5)Wayne K.
Food is good. Staff is very attentive and friendly. The only gripe I had when I ate here was the egg benedict. They used lunch meat ham vice Canadian Bacon or shaved ham for the meat. First time ever I've seen that. I mentioned it to the server (who seemed to be the manager too) and his comment was "we don't have Canadian Bacon." I said I know, that's why I'm suggesting it. I've never seen eggs benedict served this way.....ever. He said "Yeah, we have a lot of customers who mention that." Maybe it's just me, but if you have a lot of customers "mentioning it" then fix it. Responsiveness to your customers is pretty important. Other food was fine. Not spectacular, just what I would expect.
(3)Annette M.
First Watch why it's a great place for breakfast. Had the feel of a neighborhood café. The food is good and the portions just right. One thing that brings us back is flexibility. They are very flexible when it comes to substitutions or special requests. Unlike other restaurants, they don't "nickel and dime" you for everything. This is one of the main reasons we enjoy coming here. Plus they have a good selection of healthy breakfast. Soups are homemade and delicious... Especially the Italian wedding soup.
(5)Erin H.
Out of all the times I've been AZ (not to mention living there) I'd never even heard of this place or been taken here (yay for visiting and parents wanting to feed you)! Everything is fresh and healthy and being that was I going for vegetarian at the time I had plenty of options. After a pain-staking decision I went for the Veg'd Out. AMAZING. I practically licked my plate. (Luckily my parents raised me better than that. In public at least). The service was friendly and most efficient and the food was delicious; definitely an improvement over the usual breakfast places I generally get dragged to! Bonus points for the humorous menu..I'm such a sucker for menu's with a sense of humor.
(5)Christina M.
How many restaurants do you know have a declaration? A declaration that includes meals served quickly, friendly and courteous service, order anything on their menu at anytime of the day, your own pot of freshly brewed coffee, right to share entrees with no extra charge, free newspapers and Wi-Fi, and my favorite, "to take your sweet time and enjoy." First Watch The Daytime Café (16455 N Scottsdale Road, #107, Scottsdale, AZ 85254) does just this and more, complete from their declaration to you as a customer. The menu has many a delicious entrée available for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Fresh ingredients are prepared and created daily. A perfect combination of various eggs, pancakes or waffles dishes for breakfast and brunch items are included on their menu. For lunch, a choice of salads and sandwich combinations are available for your choosing. Depending on your taste, one can order standard items ("The Traditional" - two eggs, choice of meat, English muffin and potatoes), or one can order something a little more creative ("Key West Crepe" - crepe combined with flurry white eggs, served with potatoes and English muffin). Their diversity in menu items is reflective in their breakfast, brunch and lunch menus. One is never left without a choice! A personal favorite for breakfast is "The Tri-fecta", which includes two eggs cooked to order, choice of thick-sliced bacon, turkey sausage, seasoned turkey patty, or sausage link, and most importantly a "light and airy" made to order Belgian waffle sprinkled with powdered cinnamon sugar. What is great about this particular meal, one can substitute a pancake instead of the waffle. Their pancakes cure one's pancake craving. First Watch standard pancakes are large sized, buttermilk with a most delicious and filling taste. One can always count on their eggs being cooked perfectly to one's wishes; I am never disappointed in the cooking of my eggs. The turkey sausage links are grilled golden, juicy and provide the right amount of meat taste accompaniment. Sound decadent? Rest assured First Watch provides full nutritional information, as well as substitutes for low-carb, gluten-free diets and those with allergies. Regardless of your dietary needs, First Watch soars above the rest in Scottsdale, with their defined attention to service, food, quality and preparation. First Watch declares and always follows through on their promise to you.
(5)Mandy F.
First time coming here for breakfast and I am impressed. Fresh, high quality food....plus it's yummy! And their menu is on Weight Watchers so I can track what I eat easily. I will be back for sure!
(4)Gerald H.
Good food, nice people but darn they are so expensive. Eggs and bacon and tea, 2 servings of waffles coffee and tea 42 bucks.
(3)Jo C.
First visit to First Watch was certainly positive. I honestly did not realize this was a breakfast joint until we walked by one afternoon. I'm not sure why, but I always thought they were a weight management place of some sort! However, once discovered, we made a mental note to come back... and so we did a few weekends ago. The interior is very nicely done. It's not diner-like, but not trying to be something it isn't either. I like that it's not totally generic like a lot of other breakfast/cafe spots. We walked in for a late breakfast and were seated in a booth right away. The service was excellent and our food was good. I can't say anything really blew me away, but the blueberry pancakes were delicious and the rest of our meal was pretty solid. I'm rounding up to 4 stars for now... we'll certainly be coming back to give this place another go soon.
(4)Christopher S.
My wife and I ventured out this way after we hiked Pinnacle Peak. It is a great place to go after a hike cause they offer a variety of healthy options. All of their stuff is made fresh and tastes that way too. Only being here once I feel you cant go wrong with anything on their menu. Definitely coming back!
(4)Darlene G.
It's Sunday brunch day. The day the fiancé and I start off our lazy Sunday by finding a new breakfast spot to try. We didn't feel like driving far today so we searched and found First Watch. It's located in the Promenade shopping plaza so it's pretty easy to find and we arrived shortly after 10am when there was only a few minutes wait for a table. By the time we left at 11ish the waiting area was much fuller than when we had arrived. Just a note if you don't feel like waiting too long. The first perk of this place is the complimentary coffee in the waiting area. A nice touch while you're waiting and saves you from having to pick up star bucks on the way or ordering coffee at your table. The second perk is the variety of menu choices and the fresh taste of the food. We each ordered an egg plate and added one pancake to share so we'd have something sweet with our breakfasts. The eggs and even the potatoes taste light and fresh. Not overly greasy. Portion sizes are appropriate so that you feel satisfied but not ridiculously stuffed. The banana crunch pancake was good but we didn't think it was worth the $4 for one pancake. Overall, a decent place with good food and good service.
(3)Chris R.
With many breakfast/lunch choices in the area, First Watch is nearly perfect. As a single diner, they have a convenient counter for quick service, but even if there is a wait, it never seems to be too long. Friendly & attentive service and quality choices for both the health conscious and those who don't hold back!! Personally, I love the Belgian waffles!!!
(5)Brad M.
Great breakfast place. I have been here a few time, servers are always friendly and the order comes very fast. My favorite has to be Bubba's Benny! Also, bring your dog and sit on the patio seating. They are welcome and will even get their own water bowl.
(5)Diego S.
You've heard of their existence for years now, although you've never actually seen one...kinda like Bigfoot. Churchgoers. Well they're here and apparently, the word is out because this place has a bevy of them on Sunday mornings...causing you to wait thirty or so minutes before claiming your table. It'll be worth the wait however. Try the muesli pancakes with a side of bacon. After wolfing the delicious cakes, it's time to have some fun with the bacon. It'll be dry enough to crumble, making it easy to fire through your straw. Your target? The churchgoers. More specifically, their women...seeing how many pieces of crumbled bacon you can launch into those weird-ass bouffant hair-do's without anyone ever noticing. Think of it as getting even for snaking your table when the hostess announced "Smith...party of two." You always weasel the Smith table. What was THEIR problem anyway?
(4)Jenna G.
This place was fantastic! This past weekend the boy and I were in Arizona for a wedding. We knew nothing about Scottsdale except that it was boilig HOT! We stayed across the street at the sleep inn and woke up Saturday morning for breakfast. After looking up some places for breakfast we decided on this one...Man did we make a wise decision! This place was busy so we knew it would be good. We got there at 11, so most of the morning crowd had already left. We were greeted by friendly smiles and excellent service. Our waitress was so nice and super helpful, actually everyone was, but I'll get to that in a minute. The food: Such a unique menu! I had the chikichanga which is basically a southwestern twist on a breakfast burrito. It has grilled chicken, avocado, egg and some sort of magical sauce that is like nothing I had ever had before! The tortilla is also grilled to a perfect crisp. It came with a small cup of fruit and some home fries, also like nothing you have had before, they are bright red (maybe paprika?). The fruit cup was VERY small, but our waitress said she would get me more fruit if I wanted it. Mark had the french toast on sourdough and a scrambled egg which he seemed to enjoy since it was completely gone before I had hakf of my food. Now the service...Superior to most! Since we were from out of town and Scottsdale from what we gathered was a bit small we had no idea what to do, except hide from the sun and brutal heat. We asked our waitress and she was able to give a few suggestions, but when she ran out of ideas she brought someone else over to give us a few more. It was great. She also kept coming back AFTER we had finished to refill our drinks and told us we could hang out as long as we wanted to, no rush. This place gets an A+ in my book. I was happy to leave AZ, but wouldnt be too upset to take this place with me.
(4)Jenna S.
We had a pretty disappointing experience here; we will not be returning. EVER. The only positive thing I can say is that the service was prompt and attentive. The food, however, was horrible. I can't understand all of these relatively glowing reviews about the meals here. I had some sort of biscuits and gravy breakfast with sausage (can't remember what it was called). Everything was dry, tasteless, and inundated with onion. I have never had a sausage gravy with SO MUCH ONION taste before and it was nauseating. In addition, my husband had a Belgian waffle with sausage; he said the waffle tasted like "sawdust" and the sausage was burned. We should have complained to our waitress, but we were feeling lazy that day, I guess. Shame on us! Anyway, we picked at our food for a bit and left pretty unhappy. Like I said, we will not be returning for a "second chance" at First Watch.
(1)Kamryn C.
Had breakfast here this morning for the first time and upon arrival I was impressed. The restaurant is open and bright and there was free coffee in the lobby, definitely a kind of place that I want to start my morning. After being seated, a coffee pot and water pitcher were brought to the table. I really like this as I tend to drink water faster than it can be refilled and it prevented me from drinking too many cups of coffee, which tends to happen when someone else is pouring. The food was good as well. I ordered the greek fetish omelet. It was overall tasty, but I felt like they skimped on the filling. I like a full omelet and this was far from it. The english muffin was normal and the side potatoes were good, but nothing remarkable. My Aunt had the chikichanga and she loved it. I would probably try one of their more specialty items if I came back again.
(4)John N.
I've been coming here for a while and love it. The food is great and the service is excellent. I highly recommend it! I get the Trifecta which is a great money saver!
(5)Gabi M.
3.5 stars - for sure above average... Today was my first visit to a First Watch and I was pleased. It was nice to walk right in at 11:30 on a Saturday and not have a wait at all... I met my friend (future yelper Jamie M) for brunch - First Watch was her suggestion and it worked out perfectly. The menu reminded me of the Good Egg, but service was awesome, and food was good too. Our waitress, Amy, kept my water glass full and let me tell you, I was thirsty today having run earlier in the morning - I guess I just needed to hydrate. I went with one of their healthy options - an egg white omelette with veggies and salsa + an english muffin. I substituted the fruit for cottage cheese and cleaned my plate. Jamie had the roll-up breakfast sandwich - it looked good too. Next time, I may take Michael C's advice an go with the "Trifecta." Go to First Watch for consistent food, great service, and a clean, bright atmosphere - yes, it's a chain and yes, it's in a stripmall, but if you look beyond that, it's perfectly fine!
(4)J. P.
Had lunch here and found it to be tasty and a good value. I chose an albacore sandwich (tuna salad) and the pecan dijon salad for the 1/2 and 1/2 for $7+. The salad was more like a warm compote made of chopped pecans, chicken, crunchy veg and a dijon cream dressing. Friend chose an egg white veggie omelet and was able to make up a meal to fit her stringent diet.
(3)Ellen J.
Why don't I think of First Watch more often? It would seem that this great breakfast place would be on my radar . . . it provides the quickie delicious breakfast without sacrificing service. I have been here at least a half-dozen times and I am never disappointed! It was a fairly busy mid-morning on Sunday, but wait time was less then ten minutes. The actual size is much bigger than it looks from the outside. Their omelets are a good size and they make them soft when I remember to ask. They made my husband's hard, as he always asks. The potatoes with sauteed onion are seasoned perfectly, and they both came with an English muffin - yum! Our server was friendly and very efficient -- we were in a hurry to get to Scottsdale Fashion Square!
(4)Julie C.
I almost wanna give this place 1 star so that no one goes and I won't have to wait on line! It's great from start to finish. The wait staff is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. The food is always hot and yummy, with good size portions and reasonable prices. And now I see that management actually reads these posts and answers, too? Y'all have your ducks (and chickens and turkeys...) in a row! Good on you and we will be back
(5)barbara g.
what A JOY TO FIND THIS RESTAURANT IN Scottsdale AFTER MANY OTHER DISAPPOINTING MEALS AT OTHER RESTAURANTS IN TOWN. My husband ordered the traditional breakfast and I had the Pecan Chicken Salad, which was delicious. Portions were large and tasty. The waitress was attentive and suggested items for us to try. Very good prices compared to many others in this expensive town. I heartily recommend this cafe for breakfast or brunch, and know you won't be disappointed, We ate here 3 out of 5 days for brunch and it was always good food.r

Bacado omelet was just ok. Service was certainly not the best. Had to flag down my waitress for hot coffee to many times.

This place is hidden in a strip mall (Scottsdale Promenade, near Nordstrom Rack) but is one of the best breakfast places around. I go there once or twice every week and everything I've ordered has been consistently good. My favorites are the Floridian French Toast (with toasted wheat germ and piled high with fresh strawberries, kiwis, and blueberries), the Trifecta (most delicious waffle I've ever had--my hubby likened it to funnel cakes), and the Chimichanga. For an extra ~$1.50 you can get real maple syrup with your order. Those of you that know what I'm talking about, you know that nothing compares to REAL maple syrup. Every time I go to this place I leave happy and satisfied. Try it, you won't be disappointed :)

Decent breakfast grub, but a more expensive than it's ambience or location justifies. Probably not worth waiting in the Sunday brunch line for this place... Service was minimal with the check plopped on the table halfway through the meal and the staff attempting to take the plates before we were done eating. It was a busy time, of course, but we were seated for less than 30 minutes and felt rushed out. I'd have preferred Waffle House.
(2)Debbie S.
We have been here a dozen times and enjoy it every time. I am making my way through the menu and there is nothing I would not recommend. They are fast too. I enjoy sitting outside when the weather is nice.
(5)Laura T.
A great place! It was recommended by Yelp for brunch. Excellent recommendation. The service was excellent, food came out fast and was delicious. The menu was extensive with originals. Not just the standard breakfast items. Lots of healthy choices along with a few decadent ones. Made it very hard to choose! I will definitely come back here next time I visit Scottsdale !

First Watch is a favorite of ours for breakfast but they also do a nice lunch too. Get there early if you are going on the weekend, this place gets busy but they seem to turn tables rather quickly. Lunch time, especially later, is generally quiet and relaxed. Good time to dine alone if you are inclined. Turkey dill crepe is one of my all-time favorites - fresh mushrooms & spinach make me smile. I like my potatoes and toast/muffin well done and they always get it right. Also extra-crispy bacon - a side order is 4 slices - share w/ your friends but don't pass it up. I also like their skillet breakfasts but you'd better be really hungry because these guys are big. Did I mention french toast & waffles? Yes, they are also really good. If you're a fan, join their free SunE-Club. They'll email you coupons occasionally and a free meal on your b-day. Now that's something to smile about!

Ordered the Fruity Chicken Salad and my husband got the special. He was happy with his meal, I wasn't so much. Don't get me wrong- it was good- just not what I expected. I was expecting a salad with some fruit thrown in. What I got was fruit with a couple of spinach leaves under it. I didn't even use the dressing... there was not point. My husbands meal looked awesome though. I think I'll come here again and try something else- probably breakfast.
(3)Lawrence K.
I eat breakfast there EVERY WEEKDAY. The food, service, personal attention makes this the best stop of the day. Food is very consistent and priced right. Eggs always perfect. Coffee served in thermos pot. Time from order placed to food served is almost immediate. Have never had anything but great experience. John, Stacy, and all the crew will pamper you. LKcowboy

We've been to First Watch several times now for breakfast and each time go we always feel satisfied when we leave. The food is on the healthier side, and the portions are more in line with what a "normal" serving size should be, unlike some places that pile on the food until their patrons are unbuckling their belts and practically throwing up when they walk out the door. They even find a way to make the potatoes crispy and light instead of weighed down in grease and oil. The food is good, and everything we've tried we have really enjoyed, but if you're looking for a breakfast place that will knock your socks off, you won't find that here. And that's perfectly fine. This place doesn't pretend to be the next best thing since....well I don't know what.... and it doesn't need to because plenty of people like this place for exactly what it is: A healthy, reliable and affordable breakfast eatery that always delivers fresh tasty food with great service. For what it lacks in an adventurous and exciting menu, it makes up for with the quality and consistency of the food that does come out of the kitchen, and that's what keeps people coming back for more. 3.75/5

I've been coming to First Watch's various Phoenix locations for years. I've consistently had positive dining experiences each time. I brought my family to the Scottsdale Promenade location on a busy Saturday morning for breakfast. We were seated by a friendly host after a short wait (we were told 15 minutes and were seated in 10 minutes). The server was attentive and friendly. The food (as always) is fresh, served quickly and delicious. The First Watch Potatoes are delicious. Besides traditional eggs, pancakes and omelettes, there are a variety of dining options (wraps, salads, sandwiches) for brunch and lunch.
(4)Ana C.
This is always a good option and I've been here for breakfast, brunch and lunch. The service is always fast and everyone is always very friendly. I love their egg white omelets and their sandwiches are very large and come with fruit, their side salad and the First Watch Potatoes so you get an ample amount of food and the prices are really quite good considering you really do get two meals out of their portions. Their menu is pretty diverse and has some interesting options on it and they will make substitutions as you need or request. I also love that their nutrition information is on their website so you can make a better choice if you want, or just splurge. It can get busy on weekends but it's a very nice little place to enjoy some good food at good prices and with friendly staff.
(4)TC S.
Love this place! Food delicious!
(5)Shane W.
I love this place, you can always count on it for some great food at a great prices. The Tri-athlete omelet is the best.
(4)Paul M.
For those that don't know my eating habits, I tend to stick to the things that I like. I find something and I end up pretty much sticking to it. First Watch is another one of those restaurants that has helped me to "branch out". I try to eat healthy for the most part and stick to their healthier part of the menu and have tried just about everything in that section and have not been disappointed. The Tri-Athlete Omelette and the Power Wrap are my favorite. Just the right amount of food to fill me up and get me going for the day. I also enjoy the Lean Machine but, have heard some negative feedback about the "bland" turkey patty so be aware. My thought is that it is supposed to be healthy so I don't expect too terribly much from the patty of turkey. Especially since the rest of the meal is so perfect. The service has always been great and the food has always come out rather speedily. One time the food came out in less than five minutes! After speaking with the owner, he let me know that they try to get the food out in under a certain amount of time. He stated the faster they get it out, they can keep from getting backed up in the kitchen. Haste does not make waste in this case at all. I always leave satisfied and look forward to going there again.
(4)Michael C.
Wow, I almost forgot about this place - and its really a great place for breakfast. I used to frequent the location downtown all the time. This location is much newer and uses the same fantastic ingredients. The "Trifecta" was my favorite. For the record: First Watch is: "good food, from good people".
(4)Meggie O.
We really like FW. It is a must go spot when we have out of town guests. Especially like the half and half sandwich and salad/soup options. Have never had a negative experience!
(5)Stephanie M.
Belgian waffles are to die for.... We are always on a quest to find a 'great' breakfast place nearby and we enjoyed everything we ordered. I had the breakfast scramble which consisted of scrambled eggs, spinach, ooey gooey yummy cheese, ham, all on a crisp & buttery croissant. Can't wait to try their lunch menu next!
(4)Elizabeth H.
This place reminds me of a breakfast place my folks use to take us to back in New York called the Pancake House in Greenlawn, NY. The food is delicious, and geared towards a healthy lifestyle. You can find all protein breakfasts too all veggie meals. They are very accommodating and polite. Sometimes there is a wait on Sunday morning because of the church going crowds.
(4)Brittany P.
I was absolutely starving so I looked around and saw chairs outside on a patio. When I walked up to First Watch I was a little confused. Their logo seems more like a diet organization than a restaurant in my opinion. Maybe the cafe needs to be a little larger. I sat down with one of my friends and we ordered. I love breakfast and the omelette I ordered was not satisfying at all. The eggs seemed greasy and no one wants that when you order egg whites! My friend took two bites of her pancakes and didnt want to eat anymore. Overall, we will not be returning!
(2)Joel C.
Do people eat breakfast at Phoenix!? We showed up to First Watch to get some energy for our shopping extravaganza at Nordstrom Rack. It wasn't very busy and we were seated rather quickly. I took a look at the menu and it reminded me of J. Christopher's in Atlanta....although the food taste 10 times better! Danielle ordered this huge biscuit with sausage and eggs and I ended up trying one of their banana and granola pancake with a side of eggs and potatoes. The portions are really huge and well worth the price. Not a bad place if you are just craving breakfast.
(3)Peter N.
I took my parents here today, none of us had ever been. The food was terrible, they skimp on all their ingredients. I ordered the killer Cajun omelette, there was the portions of the food were extremely small, and all the ingredients in the omlette were all on one side of the omlette. As my father was paying the bill the hostess asked how our meals were, and my dad told her...not very good. This girl said nothing after!! Nothing! If you want below average food and service....this is your place! If you are looking for a good breakfast then there are many better places in the valley.
(1)Rob P.
I had never heard of this breakfast place until my dad took me this morning. This place is great! My dad and his wife said it was the best breakfast place in town, and I'm inclined to agree, even though I've only been to a couple of breakfast places. I had the fruit crepes, which came with granola and their muffin of the day, while my little sister had an omelette and my girlfriend had some dish with sausage and egg. I tried everything and it was all great, and super cheap to boot. I think each of our dishes were like $7.
(5)Kerstin M.
We've never been to this location, and overall, it was fine. They were busy at 11:00 on a Sunday, but we got seated within 10 minutes, just as they had predicted. Service was fine, but not stellar. The coffee was a tad harsh, and I had to ask for water. Our breakfasts were OK: I had the Trifecta, the idea of which I wish I would see more often on menus. It was a Belgian waffle, 2 eggs, and 2 pieces of bacon or sausage. My bacon was pretty over-done, and my over-easy eggs were slightly under-done. Think of me what you will for the next comment, but the cooks at Cracker Barrel *always* get the eggs and bacon right. The waffle was neither the best nor the worst I have ever had. Hubby had the bacon and avocado omelette, which he liked well enough. He was glad for the salsa, which he said made the dull potatoes more palatable. I don't think we'd ever make this First Watch a destination breakfast, but if we find ourselves hungry at the Promenade again, we might give it another chance.
(3)M L.
Great bacon! Really good food, good portions, and great service... and the bacon! They have a pretty nice breakfast and lunch assortment and fantastic bacon. The prices are decent for the portion size. I'm gonna have to read through this review to see if I've mentioned the BACON. Anyways, when you go, be sure to get ya some bacon... enjoy.
(4)Alexa S.
the hubby & i frequent this establishment quite often.... almost weekly... we love the friendly staff and the quick food delivery not to mention the yummy factor of the dishes. so many options but we are breakfast people, even at 1:30pm. the chickichanga is a MUST if you like a little kick with your meal. my personal faves are the crepeggs. each one is a perfect combo of omelet to crepe! oh! did i mention a free meal for your birthday if you sign up for their email club?? do it.
(4)Ted M.
We stop here frequently for a quick breakfast or lunch. Service is always very friendly and quick and unobtrusive, indoors or out. There's a lot of good stuff on the menu, including some creative and unique options, so I never have trouble finding something tasty. The glaring omission, though, is a good-ole-fashioned egg sandwich... very odd not to see it here. Sometimes the waitress will get the kitchen to make one for us, but sometimes we have to assemble something ourselves. Overall, tasty and reasonably priced breakfast fares.
(4)Alicia F.
It was ok...nothing special really, although I just had the basic eggs, bacon, english muffin, and hash browns. The service was so-so. Again, nothing special. If you want an ok breakfast at an ok price, then go here.
(3)Emmy N.
A delicious place for breakfast! I had the trifecta which included a perfect belgian waffle, eggs, and bacon. There are a few combinations you can make. I'm a woman so I do like my options :)! Their menu is great, lots of healthy options to choose from and a lot of the egg breakfasts allows you to switch to egg whites at no additional charge!
(5)Denise R.
Have been here at least 3 times in the last 2 months. The food is always good and the service is perfect. Line-ups get a little long on the weekends.
(4)Marcia M.
It's been about 4 years since I initially raved about this location and this is the first time in probably 1-2 years since I last visited. While the food was close to what I remembered, the service was mediocre at best. I was trying to remember just why I stopped going, I know a big part was that I found a place I liked even better, but on looking back I realized that I went looking elsewhere because the service gradually went down. I had bonded with a couple of wait staff who eventually left and it was kind of never the same, so I left, too. Which brings me to today. The morning started out well enough with a waitress who promptly took my order with a smile. But then my order was brought by someone else...I asked for salsa and watched as that waitress went into the kitchen and...started...talking...to...other employees. So I waited... and waited...and watched as she continued to talk with a couple of people who seemed to be more hanging around than working. I finally resigned myself to using the hot sauce on the table. Now, I want to be fair here, I was alone and when you are the only one at the table the food goes fast. I was 3/4 done with my meal when the original waitress came by to see 'how my food was tasting'. Told her the meal itself was fine but she should know about the salsa incident. She then cryptically said she would find out who it was and left. A few moments later the other waitress came by and apologized for forgetting and wanted to know if I still wanted the salsa without looking at the now empty except for the muffin plate. No thanks. So, is that enough to spur me to knock down my initial review? Shouldn't be except for one other minor point. We're in the desert with record heat this week and my water glass was never refilled, no one came by and even offered, in fact the check just kind of showed up at the table. Again, the restaurant was busy enough that this could have been an oversight but employees were standing around. In fact, when I went to pay the check, the Manager was hanging out with two of the waitstaff up front and the little bit of conversation I heard didn't sound work related to me. It is so very rare that I skip out on the tip, but my feeling is that when the bill is almost twelve bucks, I could at least be offered a second glass of water. Tipping is a reflection of the service rendered and I wasn't feeliing to good about that service by the end of the meal.
(2)Brooke S.
Friendly staff, quick to sit, good breakfast selections. My husband got the breakfast burrito. The sauce on it was a hollendace/salsa and he said it was different and tasty. I had a fresh fruit parfait and. Blueberry muffin. I loved the parfait. My little one had a blueberry pancake and he ate the whole thing! My husband and I love small breakfast cafes, so this was perfect for us while visiting Scottsdale.
(4)Nastassja K.
I really like First Watch. This location is very clean, the staff super friendly, and we were seated immediately upon arriving at 11am on a Easter Sunday. The good egg?? Please. Sure, it's not the world's best breakfast restaurant I've ever been to (I'm from Europe, come on...), but it definitely ranks above any of the other little chain restaurants in AZ. In an ordinary world, I would give this Restaurant 2, or 3 stars, but we live in the desert where Originality and Menu rarely walk hand in hand. With that said, at least I know I can depend on First Watch to deliver their dishes in a friendly, fresh, fast and (if you so choose) healthy manner. * try the Yogurt Fruit Crepe. * I've never noticed 'just old people' at this restaurant. I see families and couples. Unless you consider me old at 28, in that case, sure. Old.
(4)Susan B.
I had the Tri-fecta, which came with a single waffle, two eggs, and a single sausage link. Good breakfast food, served pretty fast. Once the food arrived, no one checked back on me. It was busy, but I still think a server should come by to ask you how everything is and to refill your soda. I also had to wait a bit after I was done for someone to come by with the check. Better service and I would have given it 5 stars, I will try it again.
(4)Kate N.
My last two breakfasts here I have ordered the 'Healthy Turkey' .... which is an egg white omelette with diced turkey, spinach, feta cheese, diced onions and tomatoes. It is served with an english muffin and is very tasty! ... My husband continues to order his standard raisin french toast smothered in butter and warm blueberry sauce .... with two eggs over easy on the side .... and is still loving it! : ) The coffee is also consistently good and is kept topped up by the great wait staff.
(4)Roland W.
First Watch is a very good place for breakfast, above average not out of this world. We've always had excellent service in over 10 visits to this location. The food is good and while the omelet portions are on the small side you can always opt for three humongous pancakes if you have a hearty appetite. The coffee is great too. I still prefer Butterfield's on Shea, but First Watch is a close second. Give 'em a try!
(4)Jack T.
I like their burrito vera cruz. My boyfriend loves their blueberry pancakes. Yeah, First Watch is usually full of old people, but it's nice to take a break from the tragically hip 20-somethings that never learned quite how to use their 'indoor voices.' They make any and all crazy substitutions you want. Their staff has always been friendly at every location we've gone to. I think this location is moving to Kierland, and the downtown Phoenix location is closed on weekends right now (lightrail construction).
(4)Dr Kenneth N.
Food was great! Service was decent.
(4)Jill A.
I enjoy coming to First Watch when I'm in the mood for a relaxed, easy-going experience for breakfast. I always get in quickly and we get service quickly. Plenty of space in the restaurant - bright and airy. The menu is perfect for breakfast. Lots of healthy options. Omelets are tasty. Love the french toast and pancakes too.
(4)Helen Y.
Are you sick of fighting for tiny bistro table at Starbucks to operate out of? Then switch to First Watch for a terrific spot for long leisurely working breakfast-lunch. While the coffee isn't quite Starbucks quality, it's definitely a cut above average and most importantly it ain't at Starbucks prices either...and with endless refills to boot. Also you can get solidly good breakfast food (especially if, like me, you're a fan of biscuits & gravy) as well as decent selection of sandwiches & salad for lunch. 3-star food plus 1 extra star for above average bottomless coffee & newspaper as well as healthy options for those days when you may feel like cutting down on grease.
(3)Angela N.
Our family has been going to First Watch in Cincinnati, OH and Northern KY for years and it was a pleasant suprise to find it out here in Scottsdale/Phoenix. This location is fine, we get seated quickly and the food is good.
(4)Gabrielle P.
This is either first or second on my list of breakfast restaurants in Scottsdale! My girlfriends and I come here at least once a week. Their food is addictive. Coffee is good. My girlfriend who introduced me to First Watch swears by the Turkey Dill Crepegg. I'm a huge fan of the Acapulco Express, Sonoran Fritatta and the Chicken Salad Melt. I'm drooling as I type this because it's all so good. The staff is nice, always makes sure you have something to drink and they're fast! The colors in this place shift my mood to cheery every time I'm there. Sunday mornings can be busy, but it's no biggie- they have tables and benches outside to chill out on.
(4)Georgia R.
Meh. I am just un-enthused about this place. If you're going to spend your money on breakfast, at least make it a good one and go the Breakfast Club or Chompie's or something. First Watch seems like THE spot for people over 60. Every time I've been, I've been the youngest person there by far. But it's not the clientele that matters, it's the food. And I really think it's just okay. Nothing really grabs me and screams "this is the best damn pancake (or anything) I've ever had." My advice: Skip it and spend your hard earned cash on something else...like booze.
(3)Brian W.
there are a lot better places all around.. just ok..
(2)Jason Q.
I've been writing reviews like crazy about place I've taken my mom when she was in town, and here's another one. Firs time here with my mom and wife, and everything was great tasting. I can't say it's our favorite breakfast place, but it was good enough that we'd come back. I think the prices were a bit high, but the food was good. Can't really think of anything else to say...
(4)Kristine P.
We got to First Watch in the Promenade in Scottsdale at 10:30am on a Sunday, so prime time for a breakfast place! They were packed, but handled the crowd efficiently and pleasantly. I tried one of their summer specials, the avocado toast with 2 basted eggs. It was delicious. If you haven't jumped on the avocado toast bandwagon, just google it, or search that term in Pinterest - it's a thing! Very simple, but has to be well executed. The avocado was very fresh and green and had a nice lemony flavor too. The eggs were basted and were a nice savory accompaniment to the avocado toast. My friend had The Works omelette and liked it.She made a few substitutions (she's sort of a Meg Ryan that way) and the waitress was very nice about it.
(4)John K.
I had to go to Arizona for a conference this past weekend, otherwise I wouldn't step foot in that republican Jane brewer loving state. I found this here gem. I came here twice Saturday if you purchase four meals you get to take home a baby rattlesnake. So I got 3 skillets and fruit bowl. My two buddies had the Mexican and cornbeef (I got that too) Service was splendid. Sunday I had to dump and puke when we got there bc I was hungover and trashed from Conference night. Bathrooms are clean. There was a inflatable doll in the bathroom someone put it there as a prank.
(4)Brock L.
First rate breakfast joint in Scottsdale. We have been here 50+ times and I have yet to get bad service or a bad meal. Everything on the menu is very fresh unlike most places. The yogurt is fantastic mixed with fresh fruit, pancakes are great and they are one of the few that can do oatmeal correctly. Add to your list of places to get breakfast if you have not been here yet.
(5)Stephen R.
The atmosphere is very clean and nice. Well lit and good clean cafe. Menu is diverse Taste was a bit on the disappointing side. This is a solid 3 star place, its been rated four stars. The menu execution drags it down. Service was very good Atmosphere is very pleasant Food-was kind of average or below average. Its a diner in disguise, nothing wrong with that.
(3)Chris M.
Took me a little while to find, its not a stand alone building, rather hidden in with other stores and depending on the entrance you drive through the marquee may be hidden. Just watch for the patio seating and you'll find it faster than me. Enter by Cantina Laredo. They were quick to welcome me and have me seated. Everyone was very friendly. Food didn't take too long to get out. I had a plain pancake, it wasn't anything special. I would recommend one of the other options. Just a heads up, the pancakes are large. At about 8 inches in diameter, one pancake here is equivalent to two or so at other chain restaurants. If you want 4 pancakes, just order 2 here. Overall it was a good breakfast, but nothing standout.
(4)Fred M.
Just moved into offices nearby, and very happy to find this gem less than a block away. Even in 115 degree heat Saturday morning, a 20 minute wait! Was worth it. Expert service, and awesome menu and food. Everything seems to taste a little better there! Will be back often. Kale based smoothie to start was excellent. Will be going back and trying their lunch this week. 5 star for sure!
(5)Duane A.
High quality & very attentive.this breakfast eatery is well worth searching out. Creative menu! You won't be disappointed
(5)John I.
We came to this part of Phoenix because I need treatment at the Mayo Clinic. My wife wanted an omelette and I suggested a nearby Denny's. Fortunately we found this place instead. Both my wife and daughter started with a Day-Glo smoothie which looked and tasted terrific. I had the Avocado Smash accompanied by basted eggs. I love basted eggs and most places don't even know what they are. My wife didn't actually have an omelette after all, but that is another and old old story. She had a crepe and a piece of French toast separately and we (transplanted Vermonters) found out that we could get real maple syrup (from VT) for only $1.39 extra. Again, most places don't even know what real maple syrup is. While we are here. WE WILL BE BACK.
(5)Cyndi V.
Excellent breakfast spot. The ambiance is casual and inviting, the staff has never been anything but friendly, quick and helpful. Food is overall health conscious and after going there for two years (especially after the gym) I have never had anything sub-par. They make substitutions easily, I have always ordered the Bacado omelet but substituted turkey sausage and gotten it with egg whites. My current favorite is the avocado toast, generous avocado on whole grain toast, with a side of over easy eggs with herbs. Perfect for post-workout fuel. I highly recommend First Watch!
(4)Carol P.
Genuine friendliness and accommodation, even when I arrived 10 minutes before closing time. AND good food. Will definitely stop in again, when I am in the area.
(5)Penelope A.
Good basic breakfast food. Wait staff was friendly. Allowed me to get a side of only the fruit I liked. No wait time to be seated on a Wednesday morning. There was a tv that had CNN on. Place was clean.
(4)Austin T.
The best place in the area for breakfast and lunch. Best service I've ever had, very friendly staff. All the food is great and the prices are extremely reasonable.
(5)Miss M.
Two words, really really good pancakes and lots of varieties. Okay that's not two words, but you get the idea. These guys make some really good pancakes. They're not your traditional pancakes, but they have lots of variety and lots of options. And by the way you can usually even mix and match for more variety in the same order, but you have to ask nicely. Some servers don't want to really do it but just say please and you're probably in luck. Enjoy!
(5)Kathi G.
Me and my husband went there this morning for the first time. Let me just say this place is amazing very clean decorated really nice made you feel at home the food was unbelievable fresh , everything was just perfect. And the service was flawless we had a lady that was so nice made us feel welcome. She made the entire visit awesome. We will be back every week
(5)Joseph S.
We only went there for breakfast, but it was great !! We especially liked the Parma Hash, omelets and they have amazing muffins Price is average.
(4)Teresa B.
Excellent. I love the variety healthy breakfast options.... Because they were all so good. I had the scrambled egg whites with turkey patty tomato and English muffin. My fiancé ordered the egg white scramble.. Both entrees were delicious. For me the portion was just right. For him, it was not enough... He ordered two blueberry pancakes and that did it. They juice here, so I ordered the kale tonic- yum! And 100% natural. Our server was great too. But the best part is they have coffee available as you wait for your table. Overall- a good dining experience. Left very satisfied.
(4)Jennifer R.
I'm a "regular" here. Their food and iced coffee are delish! And their customer service is bar none. The staff is so friendly and they all seem to know my name. They are usually busy during the weekends but so worth the wait!
(5)Avi E.
Ummmmm their Power Wrap!? Me thinks YES!!! Sooo so good. Food is always fresh. 4/5 because I've only ordered one thing and it's always to go (haven't dined in) but so far I'm a fan!
(4)Brad S.
Coffee is good, service is good. Lots of menu choices.
(3)Scott W.
Met a friend here for lunch recently. We both enjoyed our meals. The service was good the whole time. Food came out fairly quick. We were never rushed. Really is 3.5 like the average shows. I would come here again.
(3)Colleen M.
Excellent service and amazing food. I had the avocado toast and my daughter had the turkey and avocado eggs Benedict it and both were 10s!
(5)Mika N.
I had the Key West Crepegg and my dad had the Chicken Salad Melt with the tomato basil soup. Everything was great. The Kale drink was really good as well!!
(5)Jake Z.
I went here with my family and it's usually great the food is great but the service is very disappointing. our waiter was very rude she rolled her eyes multiple times and took our drinks slammed them on the table. we talked to the manager and finally got a coffee. we ordered when we first ordered 3 employees where rude especially the hostess that ignored my family.
(1)Melissa S.
Solid place to grab breakfast. We had a good meal with quality ingredients. I had the Veg'd Out Omelet and they happily made it as a scramble for me upon request. My boyfriend ordered the French Toast Monte Cristo. He said it was a unique dish with a lot of different flavors. I also liked that the had flavored coffee creamers at the table. Our server was very sweet and helpful. We will definitely come back here next year.
(4)Itene P.
Good breakfasts! Monte Christo French Toast is fabulous. Clean, friendly place. Great service too. Healthy choices too for those who want those items. Lots of choices, unique and not always the usual items for breakfast or brunch.
(4)Chris G.
Knew I wasnt going to like this place the minute I came in! Was starving from previous nights partying and was sat immediately, and given a menu with pictures on it(which I hate and is always a bad sign) that really seemed to be a random collection of items with a bunch of eggwhites and turkey products. If you're going to serve only breakfast and lunch, it better be GREAT! Potatoes I think were processed, awful and unappetizing, bacon was low quality, orange juice had a funky flavor. Felt like food I would eat at a hospital cafeteria. Only 3 bright spots were prices were low, eggs were perfectly cooked, service was good and place was clean, what should be the components of a good experience, but just wasn't good Do not expect this place to be around for long!
(2)Keith R.
After work this morning I decided to give this place a try after having sent so many of my guests to it. The service and food were perfect. The staff were very friendly and took care of me very well. I had the French Toast with a side of potatoes. So good! I will be sure to continue sending my guests to this fabulous breakfast spot.

I found this place accidentally a few years ago while waiting for the Nissan deanship to fix my car. I thought it was a blood drawing lab from afar but figured out it was a breakfast place as I got closer. I was actually hungry so I stopped in and was greeted with awesome service. I asked the waiter for a recommendation and he told me to get the "Burrito Vera Cruz". I was hooked from there. I went home and told my wife about this awesome breakfast place up in Scottsdale....(an hour drive for us) and it has since become our favorite place for an amazing breakfast. We find ourselves making excuses to drive up to Scottsdale just so we can go to First Watch for breakfast. The prices are totally reasonable, the portions are just right, the restaurant itself is beautiful and the staff are friendly and upbeat. Whats weird though is that we went to a First Watch in Phoenix and were totally disappointed. This location and the one along I-17 are incredible. Please build one closer to Casa Grande....PLEASE.

The food is always top notch here, and the service is impeccable. Today I called in my lunch to-go. After being greeted by name at the door (I've only been in three or four times), I added to the order and while I was waiting (they were lightning fast!), three customers walked in behind me to either be seated or also to pick up. They were each greeted by name as well. Very friendly and attentive service every time!

the interior is crisp and clean and well laid out. plenty of tables without feeling smushed into each other. service was quick and attentive. the coffee was very good...strong. they leave the carafe on the table so you don't have to constantly ask for refills. i had the crimini mushroom omelette. 3 fluffy eggs loaded with mushrooms, cheddar, and tomatoes. came with a choice side of greens or potatoes, and an english muffin. it was cooked very well and i love that someone is serving salad greens at breakfast. it's a great thing! reasonably priced, about 8-9 bucks per meal.

This is only the 2nd time I have been here. The first time the pancakes were very heavy but this time was a whole different story. We arrived about 12:45 pm. I wanted to make sure they use fresh eggs they crack as some joints use the egg mixture which is not real healthy. They said they usually use the egg mixture but patrons can substitute fresh eggs to crack. So since they did not have the omelette I wanted on the list I created my own, be advise they make their omelettes different than most. The ingredients is not included with the eggs but rather put on top of the eggs and folded over. I ordered a cracked egg omelette with spinach, mushrooms, onions, and cheese with sour cream and fresh greens on the side. The mushrooms and onions were slightly grilled. It tasted very good with muffin on the side. I also had some of my friend's pancakes let me tell you what a difference they were light and airy. They are as big as the plate so one is usually enough for my friend and I. Since they did not have any decaf green tea I opted for the decaf coffee which was very good. Overall very good breakfast. price for two breakfasts, the two drinks and one juice was $25.00. I would come back just for the pancakes. Bravo!!! I sure wish the wait staff would have name tags though so we can greet them accordingly.

It was my first time in and not bad. Service was okay and the food was alright. I'm giving it a three since the party I was with agreed. It's a place to expect decent breakfast in Scottsdale. With all the places that do fresh foods and unique dishes, this one came up a little less than the rest. I don't think it's a place to rave about, but you get a hot meal and coffee that's priced right. If you want exciting, gourmet, or a true Scottsdale experience, dine elsewhere.

This restaurant exceeded my expectations. When we walked in, we were greeted joyously by the host. We told our waiter, Alan, that it was our first time here and he pointed out the popular items on the menu. I ordered the breakfast scramble which was scrambled eggs with ham, spinach, cheese and HOLLANDAISE! over toast, served with FRESH fruit and home fries. It was a lot of food, it was delicious, and it was reasonably priced. My companion had the bacon hash browns with eggs and he loved it because it had a lot of bacon in it. Alan was an excellent waiter, he checked several times to see if we needed anything. The kitchen was quick with the food order. Also, I ordered tea and they served me a pot of hot water and a selection of Bigelow organic teas, so I did not have to ask for a second cup. I highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast. I appreciate their attention to detail, food quality and good service.

Excellent avocado toast with 2 eggs. A perfect breakfast after a 10 mile trail run at McDowell Mtn -- elevation 3200ft of ascend.

Turkey gravy with biscuits is amazing. Wish they had real cream for coffee but 5 stars anyway!

I've got a couple of things to say about the establishment... I ordered the bacon and onion hash with added mushrooms. About 40% of the plate now being digested, I felt really sick, I mean wanting to throw up when I looked at my food. My stomach felt like someone throwing up while watching a King tuna getting beat with a spiked club. I couldn't do anything except feel like there's spoiled fermented oatmeal slushing in my stomach... Our waiter was friendly and the atmosphere was inviting, but I don't think I could step back in the place again without feeling like a chain reaction of vomit churning in my stomach. If I was a security guard I know I couldn't take "First Watch", because I've got a H"anus" crime being committed in my colon!
