First Watch

Always yummy and fresh food. It can be busy at lunch time, but they always get us in and out in a timely fashion.

This is my absolute favorite brunch place to go to. I use an app to get in line and I haven’t waited longer than 20 minutes no matter when I come; Sunday after church or a weekday morning. I always get the avocado bacon hash and it is amazing. Sometimes there isn’t a ton of avocado but it always tastes great. Eggs are delicious, and comes with fruit and english muffin. Pancakes are to die for and HUGE. Iced green tea is tasty and refreshing, also free refills! Every waitress we’ve had has been good about refills and checking in. Great healthy options and overall awesome place.

My first trip here and I will definitely be back. I had the turkey burger with greens and everything was delicious. The turkey burger was huge and very moist and the salad dressing on the greens was very tasty. My mother ate the chicken salad sandwich with a side of potatoes and enjoyed hers as well. Our server was attentive and very friendly. We checked in with the Nowait app, so our wait time was minimal even during a busy lunch time. I am looking forward to what I will eat next time.

My first time here and it was WONDERFUL! I had the bacon and onion hash plus French Toast, my husband had Eggs Benadict, bacon and cheddar pancakes and finally my daughter had the trifecta. Every one of these dishes were so good! Our server was also wonderful and on top of it. I will be going here again soon!

I use to really like this place… Unfortunately, it seems to have gotten away from all the deliciousness and goodness of when it first opened. I ate here for breakfast and it started it out with old, barely warm coffee. Then I tried the new Breakfast dish, with tortilla chips, which came out soggy and gross, with barely any of the toppings promised on the menu. Then, my girlfriend informs me of her pancake still being in the «batter» state and not cooked all the way. I told her to send it back, but she’s too shy and modest. Furthermore, the check was put on the table halfway through the meal. It’s sad to say, this place is off the menu from now on. I wasn’t the only one, there were hardly any customers from what used to be an always packed house. The menu must be showing…

I have been hearing about this place so finally made it out. I didn’t know they had other locations until we arrived. So next time ill try the vinings locatiom bc its closer to me. Parking isn’t plentiful but not quite limited either. We only waited about 2 minutes to be seated. Our server was nice but wasn’t very attentive.
I ordered the turkey sausage gravy and biscuit plate with hot tea. My eggs weren’t cooked right so I had to send them back and by the time they came back my other food was cold. I ate what I could bc I was hungry. When my eggs came back they weren’t even fully cooked guess ppl don’t know how to make well done fried eggs.
My mom ordered the Tri-​fecka with blueberry pancake. She loved it all especially the warm syrup and the crispy edges on her pancake.
I love the décor and at home feel. I’m going to try the location closer to me next. I wish they offered an omelet with turkey sausage since we don’t eat pork bc that’s what I really wanted. But can’t wait to try to stuffed french toast next time.

Very diverse menu! I usually go to Cracker Barrel for breakfast or brunch for their lighter choices… so I was super excited to see healthier options on First Watch’s menu, and regular food items for anyone not watching their weight, calories etc. Their menu has WAY more variety than Cracker Barrel’s by a long shot. I got the Egg White Turkey Omelette with a side of avocado. It was delicious and the avocado was very fresh! Our waiter was very attentive and customer service oriented. Food was beautiful in presentation, and we couldn’t have been more satisfied. I will definitely be making this my new weekend brunch spot!
Edit — I decided to grab some to go this morning, it was fast and friendly! (Picture below).

Stopped by on this wonderful Easter Day with absolute excitement to try this Café out and write an amazing review, and it just plummeted from there. It was very busy and was told 45 minute wait, I completely understood and did not mind and they asked for my phone number. Had no idea why until I received a text message that I was now on the wait list. Very glad I actually had my phone on me since there was no explanation, and unlimited text messages. The text even gave me a web-​site to view where I was at in line.
Then, people who checked in well after me began to be seated before me, and my place in line was not changing. Once I hit 40 minutes I asked about where I was at, and told that I truly only waited 33 minutes and I am still way at the bottom of the list and would have to wait until the next 2 person seating became available. Complete disappointment, but since I was only a 2 person party it wasn’t really hurting their books and given it was a holiday, it was more than likely their C team at work today. Still had high hopes the food would rectify the lack of ability to process a first come first serve atmosphere.
Amazingly after calling a 3 person party that must have given up, they called me 7 minutes later so I could be seated right next to the kitchen and it’s ongoing traffic. It only took the waiter about 6 minutes before he would acknowledge me for our order and luckily we knew exactly what we wanted and order everything at the one interaction. Though the waiter may have been eye appealing, that is about as far as he went. As we awaiting our food arrival which was about 26 minutes later, he would come and place items on the table without speaking or looking at us. No worries, I still had high hopes the food would outway the cons.
Food in receipt, lovely hash with avocado, bacon and tomatoes. Looked exactly how I thought it would. Couldn’t wait to take the first bite and when I did, blandness overtook me. No seasoning on the scrambled eggs, cheese was already cold, potatoes were very dry, bacon soggy, and as I removed the scrambled eggs I notice the avocado had already turned brown on the edges. It was a complete bust. What else to do but the unthinkable, remove the eggs and pour ketchup over everything.
All I could really think is that this was a waste of money and I should have followed the other family that was tired of waiting and went to the Waffle House. At least the waiter stopped by one more time and finally spoke asking my son if he wanted another Root Beer, although he brought him a coke instead. I left a $ 2 tip just because it was Easter, but the staff I had encountered could clearly see on my face and in my voice that I was dissatisfied and no one really cared.
Will not, in any circumstances, be returning to this establishment. Started to leave 2 stars because of the holiday, but that just wouldn’t be fair.

I’m still dreaming about their avocado toast. So simple, and yet so very tasty. Can’t wait to go again.

This is my go-​to breakfast place when I just need some time to gather myself on the weekends. It’s close by and the servers are always so sweet to me. I sit by myself mostly, but I’ll join the community table too when I see the place is full.
COMMUNITY TABLE
can be elbow room to eat, but it’s ok. It makes you communicate and talk to people, enjoy a meal with the whole table instead of just alone, and it’s located by a large window so lots of natural light comes in.
MARKET HASH
is probably my favorite dish to get here right now. It’s light, not too filling, but has enough carbs in the dish. The potato hash is flavorful and seasoned well, and the eggs I always ask for a soft scramble. Comes with an English muffin with jam and butter, and also a small little cup of fruit.
PARMA HASH
is exactly the same as the market hash but has sausages in the mix. It’s a much fuller dish and I like to share it when I order this dish.
SMOKED SALMON EGGS BENEDICT
I like the dish a lot but the eggs kill me. I’ve given them 2 chances, and both times my eggs were solid and not runny like a poached egg is supposed to me. Therefore, eggs benedict here get a thumbs down. The eggs are the most important part, and next time I’ll point and out and send it back.
COFFEE comes in a carafe so you can refill it yourself, which i love and there’s always sugar and 3 different types of creamer. They also give you a free cup to-​go at the end of the meal if you request it.

You will have the best coffee here. The service is always friendly and attentive. My favorite part is all the healthy options for the family. I enjoy the seasonal changes in the menu that feature locally fresh ingredients. I usually meet great people at the shared counter. I highly recommend.

NEVER ORDER PICK UP. My seasoned potatoes were practically burnt and my fruit bowl consisted of only 4 pieces of fruit, including a chunk of pineapple with visible rot. It’s a little frustrating to know that a chef would know if he or she did a deplorable job and still allows the poorly prepared food to leave the kitchen. It’s even more frustrating to know the server didn’t check to see if the food was okay to be served. Very disappointed. There is no excuse for the lack of effort or care put into this meal.

Really mediocre. Went there with my family. Eggs were cold and over cooked, potatoes were nothing that tasted fresh, and it all seemed like poor quality control. And for the price, we won’t be back.
PS: coffee was good.

We waited 45 min, still told to wait 15 minutes again… really hated being lied to. Bad customer service, they lost us as customers… When you have to wait over a HOUR for a quick meal, bad point of fact and ruins the base. Took the family down to Cracker Barrel down the street and ACTUALLY were seated and ate there… guess where I will NOT go next time. They didn’t even call the manager or apologize for the bad lying.

Great service ! Love the food. Started off with a coffee and greeted by our server Sarah. She knew everything on the menu very well. Polite and nice ! Will deff be coming back soon ! Ask for Sarah she’s great!

It’s hit or miss. Today is a miss. My Sandwich was called a «Beefeater.» However, it looked similar to a kids menu item. I had 1 piece of roast beef on each half. It’s usually great and health-​conscienous. However, this lunch was a miss.

I didn’t expect to find a place so cute on this side of Kennesaw! There was an abundance of menu items and a few fresh juices to choose from. I ordered the hash. It could’ve been a little crispier but all in all, it was good. Double thumbs up for free wifi so I can get some studying done while eating breakfast. Prices were a little high but would not stop me from coming back.

Been here several times recently. customer service has improved dramatically. food has always been good. still a little pricey but they stay quite busy so…

Well, my opinion went down. Got there first thing in the morning as they just opened up. I ordered the Eggs Benedict which I was hoping would be a dream but it was only lukewarm which was odd since we were the first ones to be served for the day. Eggs lose their appeal when they get cold, at least for me.
Server was polite but not around much although the place was fairly empty.
For the higher than average prices, I would expect the food to be better or at least more plentiful portions.
I really wish it was great since it is so close to home.

Five Stars!!! Perfection!
Best breakfast in Cobb county!!!
The Hash is amazing, the pancakes are amazing!
