First Watch - Orange

The chef was lazy with the irons. it is easy to mix and then cook. Instead, the cook started to cook the eggs sunny and then to mix. if the waffle house can handle it, a finer establishment should insist. the rest of the meal was good and our waitress was professional. note: on the photo I added ketchup to the eggs so I could eat them.

This was our first time at this location. The staff and food are as great as the Macedonia and Cleveland Heights locations. Update 4-24-22. I don't know if reservations are now required for all First Watch locations or just the Pinecrest location, but in the last two weeks we had estimated wait times if one to one and a half hours. (Maybe because it's the weekend, but I seen the same number of people on weekdays). I will call to see if you need to call ahead on the weekend.

Good food and good service.I came to Orange Village to visit a store but the cold wind turned me around. I found myself at First Watch, hoping to find some good coffee. What I found was a good breakfast. I had the Crab Cake Benedict. While I wasn't a fan of the bread it was served, I did enjoy the rest of the dish. While I was paying the cashier asked me how I liked the Crab Cake Benedict and told me most people send that dish back. That is likely due to the fish flavor of the crab cake. While I did enjoy it, I'm almost certain there was no crab in it. Crab is sweet, the crab cake on the other hand was pretty fishy. Service wasn't lacking but it certainly wasn't special.The coffee was pure disappointment. I think an establishment like this should server espresso drinks; they don't. The coffee they serve is hot and caffeinated; if that's all you require. It may be good diluted with milk and full of sugar but it is bitter when consumed black.I'd probably come back, after I've had my morning coffee.

First time experience and it was amazing! Food was fresh, perfect temperature and the drinks amazing. I wish my brunch with my sister was earlier (it was practically closing time) so I could try everything on the menu. I went with my pick eaters and they ate every bite.

Stopped on 2/12 on way to Cleveland home show with another couple. My wife had kale tonic to drink. The waiter spilled whole glass on my lap and my wife’s sweater. He offered to pay half of our meal?. Told him he should pay for all. Got manager involved and they did pay for all. We ordered after 15 minute clean up. Everyone got there order but me. Keep telling me it was coming right up. Finally got it after everyone else had finished. I’ve eaten at first watch in Raleigh N.C. Hersey P.A. This by far the worst. Stay away !!!!!
