First Watch - Winter Park

We dined at the Aloma location with a group of six, which included one child. Unfortunately, the carafes kept the coffee barely warm, which was disappointing, although no one in our party expressed any complaints. It seemed like everyone enjoyed their food, though. The millionaire bacon had a bit more flair than I remembered from previous visits. I absolutely loved the warm berry compote that comes with the French toast, pancakes, or waffles; that was definitely my favorite part of the meal, particularly the French toast. My dad has been a long-time patron of First Watch and has always ordered the carrot cake — he loves it so much that he’ll often go just to enjoy it by himself. My mom's salad was massive; she ended up taking most of it home. Overall, it was a decent experience, but if I had to pick a restaurant based on the bill, I don’t think I would choose First Watch again.

We have eaten at First Watch for years and no matter what location we done the experience is always stellar! The staff are always courteous and attentive. The food is fresh and unique with new breakfast cocktails like the everyone's favorite Mimosa but the Pomegranate Sunrise (Tequila) is a MUST!!!

Of all the First Watch locations in the area, the one on Aloma is our absolute favorite. John (manager) and Jordan (GM) and his team are amazing. My fiancé has a lot of allergies and just about the whole team from front to back has gotten to know what they are and make sure things are safe. Amanda is amazing and we try and sit in her area whenever we can, but even if we can’t we know we’ll have a great and friendly experience whether it’s Jamal, Alex, Mia, Jason…the list goes on. Add to all that, there are so many good food options, keeps us coming back.

I visited this restaurant for the first time, and despite a long wait of about an hour, I can’t deny the excellent service and high quality of the food. If you’re looking for a great breakfast, this place is a must-visit!

The food here is consistently delicious and beautifully presented. It's a great choice if you're looking for comfort food that isn't overly unhealthy. While you can definitely indulge in some calorie-rich options, there are also plenty of tasty, healthy choices if you're mindful of your diet.
