| - Let's preface this review by saying that we eat breakfast at First Watch probably three Sunday's a month and have for maybe the past three years or so. I'm acutely aware of their product, what to expect service wise, food quality wise, etc.
I'm a creature of habit. Change throws me off and today 4/10/16 it really did. Their menu has changed dramatically. Items removed, items added, names of items changed. What comes with items has changed. An omelet now comes standard with a mixed green salad, no longer with breakfast potatoes.
No longer is an English muffin provided, but whole grain toast. I get it, maybe it's a bit more healthy, but that's irrelevant when it's soaked in butter. Granted these items are still available and they can be asked for, but why?
They added some popular specials to the menu which are now standard items and that's great because they're enjoyed by many.
Also, I come here expecting strong coffee, today, it was terrible. Weak, watered down. The second carafe they provided was better.
Food quality was suffering today as well. We were told the breakfast potatoes were changed and are better now...they're not. There was nothing wrong with them previously. They were cut uniformly, cooked uniformly and seasoned uniformly. The new and improved potatoes are bland and tasteless. They're not better.
Today was a flop, and I've never said that in all of the time we've been eating here. Going to skip it for awhile and see if things improve down the line.
7/26/17 - Update
First Watch has long since fixed their issues and all is right again. Product quality is top tier.
