| - This was my first ( and possibly only ) time visiting the newly opened First Watch ( strange name, sounds sort of like a place for vigilantes ). I ordered the traditional breakfast, scrambled eggs, potatoes, bacon and toast with coffee and a small orange juice. The bill was just under $16.00, pretty expensive when compared to most other breakfast places. For an upscale eatery I was surprised by them only offering saccharin and Splenda as sugar alternatives. I think a place that professes to be a health conscious restaurant should offer stevia to their customers. The coffee cup had lipstick on it, the eggs appeared to not be beaten before the were cooked ( the whites and yolk were separated), the coffee was bland, only about a half a cup was given to me and the waitress never returned to offer more. I also think a place specializing in breakfast and lunch should offer more, for example croissants, danishes, breads. I believe First Watch would like to consider themselves as competition to The Blue Door on State Rd in Cuyahoga Falls but there is no comparison. If I want to pay almost $19.00 ( with underserved tip ) I'll go to The Blue Door and be certain of having a delicious breakfast. Two stars because the multi grain bread and fruit preserve spread was excellent. Also the atmosphere and decor is nice.
