First Watch

This place is amazing…2^nd time here… first time blueberry pancakes… the bomb… now French toast… just as good… service is decent.
You definitely at least have to come try this place out one time. You are probably gonna like it!

So i normally get the quinoa chicken pesto bowl because its delicious and GF. BUT the last 2 times I’ve ordered it, it’s come out COLD and the kale is RAW.
You guys get 1 more chance to make this right.

Let me start out by saying that my wife and I were really excited about trying this place. It has received consistent positive reviews, but we were not impressed at ALL. The two entrees we ordered lacked flavor described in the menue. My chickenchanga had almost no flavor and the «seasoned potatoes» we’re missing the season!!! I’m glad we ate healthy, but you shouldn’t have too sacrifice taste. We should know, because we often prepare/​consume Palio meals.

What a great find! This place has great healthy options, freah squeezed juice and friendly staff. No fuss, no muss… just simply great. The manager, Robert, was friendly and helpful. It’s nice to see such cleanliness and attention paid to detail in an open kitchen like that. The Unilocal page says full bar but we were informed that it was only bloody Mary’s and Mimosas which was exactly what we were looking for any way so it was no big deal. The bloody Mary needs work, too red for us, and could use a good dose of spices but the Mimosas were great! We will be back!

Eh, it was ok. Very hipster. So much so that there was a hipster beard un my otherwise delicious breakfast :(
I don’t understand why so many restaurants around here have issues with hair in their food!!! It is disgusting! Hygiene, please?!
Also, I saw the waitress picking up bread with her bare hands and then putting them on people’s plates after she had been clearing tables and touching computer screens.
I would love this place, it’s in a great location and has great food. But I’m never going back because the coffee was disgusting, the service was awful, and beard hair… I hope it was from a beard at least…

Had a great visit here. Came with my 12 month old who was well behaved but a tad messy. The waitress was very sweet getting his some fruit while we waited for our breakfasts. Pancakes were delicious– fresh squeezed juice was great, egg white omelette hit the spot. Will definitely come back for breakfast again.

Love this place! I have been coming up here for lunch for a while and just found it. It’s a little hidden, but it is a gem. Their food is so fresh&delicious and the atmosphere is relaxed/​cute country — perfect for a breakfast, brunch, and lunch place. The service was very friendly and great, although food prep took a little while… I’m sure this was because it is fresh and not canned… (most places that serve quality ingredients tend to do this)
That’s alright with me!!! Give me quality over crud any day!

Good coffee! Small portions of food for the price but definitely healthy! Gives a great start to my weekend mornings!

We went back to give First Watch a second chance, after having a pretty crappy first visit.
It was good the second time around but we were not impressed with our waitress… she seemed like she was in a bad mood and definitely took it out on us. I think her name was Megan.
No smiling and very impatient with us.
Anyway food is pretty delicious, I still don’t like the layout and atmosphere it’s just too noisy and not very classy or comfortable… it just lacks ambiance.
I like it enough to go back but I don’t think it would be a first choice.

Waiting for the Luca John Foundation founder and president I was impressed at how this place is busy. Locals seem to frequent here.
The inside is even more impressive. It’s nicely decorated and open. It was a very nice surprise! I would definitely come back if in the area!
I had their combo plate of pancake, two over easy eggs and bacon. Excellent.
Fast service, ample parking space and a very nice staff. This strip mall is loaded with other food options.

What a cute and modern breakfast joint, hiding in a strip mall! Came here with my parents and husband for breakfast on a Monday morning, and the place was busy… always a good sign, right? I had a delicious hash with eggs, bacon, and avocado, and it came with a side of fruit and an English muffin! Everything on the menu sounded delicious, and the items we saw being delivered to other tables looked equally as yummy as ours! The coffee was good, and they had a few drinks like mimosas and bloody marys on the menu. Can’t wait to go back!

The service here is horrible. We first arrive and are told there would be a 10 – 15 minute wait (they were not busy) about 10 minutes later we are seated in their back room past the kitchen. The hostess said she would let the waitress know we are back there. Ten minutes later we still haven’t been asked for drinks, so we went and found a server. She acted so incredibly frustrated we were even there. Like we bothered her.
The drinks arrive and both sodas were completely flat and tasted like water. We let her know and she brings us new ones, but again they tasted like water. She didn’t bother to ask if the second drink was better nor if we wanted to try something else. We also asked twice for orange juice.
The food was cold and bland. Honestly, you’ll get better food and service at any of the other restaurants in this center. Save your money and time.

The past THREE times we’ve gone they’ve been completely over and hard when I got my benadict. I saw a Unilocaler who had a similar story… keeps saying they’ll get it right… given gift cards in the hope they come back… same thing happened to us.
The manager knows our family and announced «we’ll make I right this time». I had high hopes. We both got the ham and tom bennie and were served it hard boiled again. They immediately came over and took the plates back to re make them. Once we were given a proper bennie, they came over too many times asking if it was okay, and the manager gave some horrible excuse about how that table and that table and us all ordered bennies at the same time… to which I replied «I’m sorry. But you’re a breakfast joint» and since it was the third time in a row, we unfortunately won’t be back. Don’t make excuses, teach that cook how to poach.

After reading the reviews, how could I not come here!!! I am a breakfast enthusiast and breakfast is my favorite meal!
However, the name is cute but the name throws people off into thinking its a security company and not a breakfast/​brunch establishment. Moving on, I liked how the interior was decorated. Very open and clean looking, the restaurant had that look and feel of farm to table. We chose to sit outside, it was a fall day but still fairly warm out.
The menu is fairly simple but they still offer a variety of your normal breakfast entrees. I decided to go with the key west Crepeggs away from my normal order of Benedicts or French toast. Oh man, that was a huge mistake. Majority of the time when I’ve had crepes, it’s been savory and sweet. To be honest, this wasn’t my favorite because I kept thinking that crepes are dessert tasting. The crêpe was a little dry and it simply was missing something, can’t put my finger on what that something was. This crêpe had turkey, avocados, bacon, cheese, tomatoes, and eggs with a side of English muffin and potatoes.
Although my choice wasn’t the best, my fiancée loved his. He got the 2 for you deal that runs from open to close. Basically you get to choose from a list of sandwiches, which you’ll get half of and either salad or soup. He ordered a Reuben with the pecan salad. The pecan salad was quite flavorful and appetizing! I loved everything about from the fresh greeneries to the dressing. I didn’t get to try the Reuben but my fiancée said its one of the better Reuben’s he’s had. He’d definitely get that order again.
Lastly, service could be better. Our table specifically only got checked on once or twice. That being when our food was brought out to us and when our check was ready. So, I was a tad disappointed when I’ve read rave reviews about their service. But compared to the table next to ours, their waitress came out about 4 – 5 times to check on them.
I still want to come back and give this place a 2^nd chance.

Loved this place. We came mid-​Sunday morning (so I was expecting a wait). We waited about 30 minutes and I thought that was reasonable for that quality of food. I loved the atmosphere. I hate loud places and even though it was crowded it wasn’t noisy.
The coffee was really good and our waitress made sure the carafe stayed full. The food was rich and flavorful. I has the french toast Monte Cristo. YUM, on a plate. I loved the salad it comes with. That is a very creative and healthy way. My boyfriend had the hash with over easy eggs. We both ended up staying longer then we should have but we were enjoying ourselves.
The missing star has to do with 2 things. The first is that in the waiting area they have some complimentary coffee. However, it was empty from the time we for there to the time we left. Of you are gonna have one out, then it needs to stay filled. The second thing is that I am handicapped in a wheelchair and there really wasn’t a safe place for me to wait. I truly felt in the way and got knocked around a bit. I think there should be a safer place for people like me.

We had an amazing breakfast here recently. Hubby and I were in the mood for a different breakfast place instead of the usual chain food and Unilocaled a location and boom — we ended up here.
Yes, there will be a wait, it’s expected. There’s a hotel or two in the nearly vicinity and continental breakfast is boring so I’m sure most folks are referred here. We waited 20 min for a table and had no problem with it. I was hangry as heck, but read reviews beforehand and anticipated the wait.
Our server, Alex was great. For being slammed and seemingly understaffed (2 servers and 1 busser), he rocked his service. Our order was taken quickly and received quickly, believe it or not and there was sooo much food involved. We ordered the biscuits and gravy w/​ham steak, eggs benedict, and shared 2 pancakes that were as big as the whole plate. Everything tasted well, but my only complaint would be the potatoes. They were a little bland and mushy, and really need some crisp to them as that would make the plate much better. Try the pumpkin and pecan pancakes as a combo, you won’t be disappointed, they work well together.

I love this place! The best brewed coffee ever, always friendly wait staff, delicious food, beautiful atmosphere.
The first time here I got the Chickichanga which is a breakfast burrito with avocado, chicken, eggs, and chorizo on the inside and topped with green chile and sour cream — out of this world! I’ve also had the eggs Benedict, the Tri-​athlete and the pineapple juice and all were delicious.
I choose this place over Cracker Barrel now (right across the highway) because the coffee is better, the service is quicker, and I feel like there are more fresh and healthy options.

Like everyone else on Unilocal,I am beyond happy that First Watch opened in Northglenn. Northglenn is definitely lacking in good restaurants. However, this part of town is developing fast and I am loving the new additions to my small hometown. Moreover, First Watch is the best breakfast & brunch place we have thus far. It is very modern, clean, and chic. Wait time to be seated and served is not horrible (For now at least, until it becomes known; which it certainly will).
My boyfriend and I came here for breakfast Tuesday morning and the place was not packed, but had customers. We ordered the eggs benedict and the Floridian French toast. The eggs benedict is very traditional; it’s made with English muffin, eggs, ham, hollandaise sauce, and strangely tomatoes. I have had many benedicts in my life and I never had it with tomatoes. I am not a fan of it either. Besides the tomato, First Watch’s benedict is well made; delicious and had all the right flavors. As for the Floridian French toast, it was massive. It comes with three toasts topped with fresh bananas, strawberries, kiwis and a side of jam. It was good nonetheless. I was definitely happy with our meal. Service was really great too.
This place is going to get busy fast I just know it.

Super impressed with this place! Delicious eggs– they are farm fresh and perfectly cooked. Service was solid and their coffee was awesome. Lots of healthy options… Love their power bowls– quinoa bowls with breakfasty add-​ins. Waited twenty minutes for a seat though… They have some comfy patio seating in the front… I sat out and got some sun… I can’t complain. It’s gotten super busy already, and it just opened. Their pancakes were huge but super crumbly, but still pretty tasty though. Will be back for more, I’m sure. Love this place!

If you want a To Go order, call it in ahead of time.
They serve fresh food, and the prices are reasonable. I had an Omelet with Cheese fresh tomatoes and turkey and feta cheese with a English Muffin.
My Friend had the Eggs Benedict. Looked way better than what I ordered and Less Healthier as well.
Dont pass this little gem by.
