I tried the Bacado Omelette and it was so good. A much healthier choice than pancakes for my blood sugar. It also got me full now I’m ready to go home and take a nap.

Came here on a whim since I was in the area, and it was a great decision! There was virtually no wait, and the service was quick and helpful. I ordered the chickichanga, which is like some kind of omelet chimichanga filled with chicken and avocado, and it came with a side of greens and a side of some fruit – all of which was a delicious combination of savory and sweet! I also had a blueberry pancake, which was as huge and tasty as advertised! I definitely recommend this place for a quick bite of breakfast or brunch!

A delicious brunch to start your day is the best way to start a weekend as well. Was nostalgic about this place because had visited it 3 years back in Pennsylvania, exton. No doubt, the quality remains the same and is so maintained. Love the waffles so much. My friends too loved their omelettes, coffee, classic orders. Morning meditation stood out for me on drinks. Its a necessity to have first watch once in a while. Thanks for your services. Though we had to wait a lot to get our orders ordered and start eating.

The atmosphere of this place gives you that relaxing by to just unwind and clear out your mind of extra things you do not need that cloud your thoughts. Excellent food, respectful staff, really quick service. I highly recommend it to anybody.

This is a great place for anything other than eggs. Because the people there have never been trained on how to make an egg over easy. Your eggs will come out anywhere from over hard to scrambled whether or not you asked for it. I have made the executive decision to make my own avocado toast at home. I suggest you do the same unless you like you’re over easy eggs scrambled. Service gets a one, for a very good reason. Any server who serves over hard eggs that were ordered over easy, should know the difference between the two before they set the plate on the table. It was their responsibility to make sure those eggs were right and they are the one that dropped the ball because they are the liaison between the kitchen and the dining room, and I agree with most everybody else the bathrooms are filthy. My nose is not at a joint for a one time shot. This was four times over two weeks, same result all four times.

On a visit to Cleveland my family took me to First Watch for breakfast. The atmosphere is open and airy. We were immediately greeted with a smile, and promptly seated. Our server greeted us, and asked about coffee and drinks. The menu is varied and is not overly cluttered. I had the Tacos Al Pastor special which was delicious. Our service and food were both excellent, and the manager greeted us as well. All in all a nice experience. I will come back on my next visit.
