First Watch

Looked this place up on Yelp while i was at Target.  Looks kind of like a Denny's inside but more modern.  

The staff was very friendly.  Coffee was pretty good and I love that they leave a pot on the table.  The menu is strange.  Maybe I'm spoiled but there was a good amount of meals on it that looked well...weird.  Take a look at it.  You'll see.

My wife had the chicken salad which she loved.  The bread is really good.  I ordered eggs Benedict with tomato and ham   This was where I had a problem.  The ham wad ice cold. I thought they made a mistake but was told that is the way they serve it.  It was gross.  

So I think if you are careful with what you order this place can be good for a quick breakfast.

I like the decor of this place. It has an air of openness that is nice and pleasant to the eye - but the main reason I was there was for the coffee and food. The coffee was blah, although they did leave a pot on the table, which was great. This particular blend left the dreaded after taste. You know the one - when the dog does his business in a place they shouldn't.

The overall service was also very good. Wait staff was friendly and constantly checking in. I ordered the waffle special, which had caramelized bananas and maple syrup bacon on top. Also got the muffin of the day, cranberry and perhaps something else inside. The muffin was fair. Nothing special. It was moist and had a good amount of cranberry in it but didn't wow. The waffle was light and airy, a quality component when putting the sweets on top of it. I like to taste the flavor of the product and would not want to ruin it with syrup. The bacon had a nice flavor and was a good compliment but overall the dish was really super sweet without anything acidic to take that edge off. Even without syrup, it felt like it was a tad too much. It wasn't bad by any means and the overall experience was decent.  I also asked for a side of well-done sourdough toast. Unfortunately, it came out under-done. If I ever head out that way again, I would like to give them a second go to see if I just ordered the wrong thing for my tastes or it is just an ok place to have breakfast.

We stopped here on our back home to Port Orange and were pleasantly surprised by this little non-chain restaurant. They are breakfast/lunch only and have a great menu. Portions were good . Pecan pancake was lovely!
Coffee pot left on table was nice. Service was good. I wish we could have tried lunch, but too full from breakfast!
