Brunch Bliss at First Watch – A Must-Visit Spot in Orlando
If you’re on the hunt for a brunch spot in Orlando that checks all the boxes — delicious food, fresh juices, budget-friendly prices, and a welcoming, family-friendly vibe — look no further than First Watch. View the full menu here.
On a recent visit to Orlando, we decided to stop by First Watch for a late breakfast, and I’m so glad we did. From the moment we walked in, the warm, modern atmosphere had us feeling instantly comfortable. The staff greeted us with a smile and quickly seated us, even with a little one in tow — always a good sign when you’re dining out as a family.
The Food: Fresh, Flavorful, and Worth Every Bite
The menu at First Watch is loaded with tempting options, but I landed on their Avocado Toast topped with cage-free eggs. It was hands down one of the best I’ve had — perfectly toasted artisan bread, ripe avocado, a hint of lemon, and a sprinkle of sea salt made it simple but so flavorful. My partner went for the Farmhouse Hash, and it was loaded with crispy potatoes, bacon, avocado, house-roasted onions, and two eggs cooked to perfection. Every bite was satisfying and packed with flavor.
What really stood out was how fresh and wholesome everything tasted. It’s clear First Watch emphasizes quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation. Whether you’re leaning healthy or craving something hearty, they have a great balance of both on the menu.
Fresh Juice Game: Strong
We couldn’t resist trying their fresh-pressed juices, and wow — what a refreshing treat! I went with the Morning Meditation, a vibrant blend of orange, lemon, turmeric, organic ginger, beet, and agave nectar. It tasted as good as it looked — energizing, light, and perfectly balanced. My partner tried the Kale Tonic, and even as someone who’s not usually a green juice fan, I had to admit it was delicious.
You can really tell they use high-quality produce — nothing bottled or overly sweetened here, just clean, bright flavors that make you feel good about your choices.
Affordable and Family-Friendly
One of the biggest surprises? The pricing. For the portion sizes, quality, and overall experience, the prices felt incredibly fair. It’s rare to find a place that delivers such a well-rounded meal without making your wallet cry, especially in a city like Orlando where tourist pricing can sometimes sneak in.
Another major plus: First Watch is super kid-friendly. They had high chairs ready, a great menu with kid-appropriate portions and options, and the overall vibe was relaxed enough that families with young children could enjoy themselves without feeling like they were disturbing anyone.
Final Thoughts
First Watch in Orlando is the kind of place you could easily make your regular weekend brunch stop — or go out of your way to visit while you’re in town. It’s got all the charm of a local favorite with the consistency of a well-run chain. Delicious food, healthy (but still indulgent) options, fresh juices, great prices, and a family-friendly atmosphere? That’s a winning combo in my book.
Whether you’re a brunch lover, a health-conscious eater, or just someone who enjoys a relaxed meal in a friendly environment, First Watch is definitely worth a visit. We’ll be back — and next time, I’m trying the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes.
