| - I have wonderful memories of First Watch in St. Louis, back in my uni days. When I moved out to greater Phoenix area, I was so excited to get a First Watch coupon in the mail!!! When I finally got around to checking it out, it just brought back all the fond memories I have of great brunches, coffee, and succinct/appetizing seasonal menus while catching up with friends.
Food here did not let me down. It was aesthetically pleasing which only added to the delicious taste! My family and I pretty much got...2/3 of the seasonal menu
-Drinks: Started with (unlimited!) coffee, the kale tonic (super tangy and yum if you don't like your drinks sweet), and the morning meditation (this was BEAUTIFUL, but a little sweet for my taste. I think I like a good tang)
-Brunch brunch brunch: My mom got the Pot Roast Hash was a hit! - It's definitely on the heavier side if you like light breakfasts. I got the AM Superfood Bowl to balance out the pot roast hash, which was a brilliant idea. The coconut chia seed pudding below wasn't too sweet or thick, and the fruit/granola was a great addition. In addition to the multigrain bread & salted PB, delicious! I'd get this again. My dad got the Elevated Egg Sandwich, and while I thought it was kind of generic sounding, something about this was SO delicious! Definitely recommend! We all left with happy bellies for our hike!
The only thing keeping me from the 5 stars...wait times. I was lucky to have timed the NoWait via Yelp (STL is a huge fan of the NoWait app so I'm thrilled to see it here!) that we were seated within 5 minutes of arrival. HOWEVER, our food took an additional 35 min to be served!!! So come around with some chatty friends because you'll be waiting a while. Other than that, service was so accommodating and friendly. I'll definitely be back again!
