One of the best places for breakfast or brunch. I observed that the menu options slightly change based on tbe season. New options are added. There was '2 for you' option for few items under a category. I prefer small portions so went ahead with it (You could choose salad or soup) So i've received half portion of usual qty of soup and half portion of sandwhich. Market veggie - 8/10 Soup(Broccoli cheddar) - 9/10 My all time fav pancake: Banana walnut - 9/10 Season special: Strawberry tresLeches French toast.
Stopped in for brunch and waited only a few minutes to be seated. The dishes were okay and arrived as expected, though they could have used a bit more seasoning. The drinks were excellent and came out quickly. Our server was friendly and did an okay job checking in; slightly more frequent refills would have improved things. Overall, an average visit—good drinks, serviceable food
I tried the hotcakes and wow—they were super tasty. It was an NFL weekend, so the place was crowded, but we still received solid, attentive service and managed to get a good spot to dine. Lively atmosphere, good food, and no chaos—always a win.
We touched down in AZ from Chicago at 7:30 am and our friends picked us up and drove us straight to First Watch! This was my 2nd time here while visiting AZ last year but my hubby had never been. Back then, I was eating pork and had the Million dollar bacon but no longer eat bacon so I was worried I wouldn't have any tasty alternative options. I also have a gluten allergy. We opted to sit outdoors. Our waitress was training another young lady and they were both great! I ordered the gluten-free French toast, scrambled eggs with light cheddar cheese and turkey sausage! Delish! And I ordered the smoke salmon salad. Amazing!! We all enjoyed our food and I will be visiting First watch in my area in Chicago soon. I will come here, every time I visit AZ.

I appreciate how they use fresh, high-quality ingredients, often with a creative twist. The avocado toast here is elevated with perfectly seasoned fresh veggies, and their Million Dollar Bacon is exactly what it sounds like — rich, sweet, smoky perfection. For those who like classic breakfasts, the pancakes are fluffy and generously portioned, while the omelets are packed with flavor. One thing that stands out is their seasonal menu, which keeps things exciting. Whether it’s a refreshing watermelon wake-up drink in the summer or a cozy pumpkin pancake in the fall, they know how to make each visit feel fresh.
