First Watch - Waterford Lakes

The first time I went here, I was pleasantly surprised. I must have driven past this location a hundred times going to another store right behind it- without going in! The name threw me off, as well as parking for the type of establishment. It requires a larger space and a view to be seen however a delightful treat if you happen to go in it! There is extra parking in back of the building so don't let the lack of front parking deter you from going in! It's a short walk on their sidewalk back to the front area. Excellent menu options; healthy breakfast and lunch whereas the pickiest eaters can find traditional meals here. From coffee, teas, and specialty juices to mimosas, drinks aren't an issue. Vegetarian meals, Vegan meals and more selections are available for gluten-free, friendly eating. Staff is friendly and quick to get your orders, serve you, yet allow you to linger and chat (just don't do it on a weekend around brunch time)! Try the quinoa power bowl- pleasant burst of flavor in your mouth due to the sausage. Eggs Benedict florentine- delicious. Multi Millionaire Bacon? Scrumptious for that sweet yet salty craving! Lemon Ricotta pancakes and more. You'll come back because the atmosphere is like getting Seattle vibes! Restrooms were clean each time I have visited; today being the 7th. Cutlery is wrapped in a napkin so it stays clean and not placed on a table. I appreciate that. Paying at the front allows quick turn around time instead of waiting for a waitress/waiter to return for payment. Overall, a pleasant visit each time we have been. Open and airy, the simple decor, kitchen bar area or booth seating, provides a great space for a single eater or large groups for family gatherings or business meetings. You won't be disappointed.

Giselle was my server and she was great! She walked me through all my options as I have some gluten issues. Food was delicious. Definitely will be returning soon!
