This is an excellent breakfast or brunch choice in Sarasota's Main Street section. Bright, large, and comfortable atmosphre with excellent, large breakfast portions. Also has a lunch menu with many choices. Highly recommend (especially the daily breakfast smoothies!). more

I understand that it's difficult to knock one's socks off when it comes to breakfast food, but I was very excited about eating First Watch. The locals seemed to love it. We had eaten at Word of Mouth for breakfast the day before, so I suppose the bar was set high. One Saturday morning my boyfriend and I left our... more
