We greet the sunrise by slicing and juicing fresh fruits and vegetables, whipping French toast batter from scratch and brewing pots of our single-origin Project Sunrise coffee. Freshness is never comprised, which is why we welcome each season into our menu with ingredients and flavors inspired by the position of the sun. All year long, you can enjoy craveable favorites like Avocado Toast for breakfast, Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict for brunch and Lemon Ricotta Pancakes for lunch.

The salmon frittata was awesome. Very chic modern place, open for lunch, with an extreme number of options. The ham gruyere was great as well. They have a kids menu, grilled cheese was very good too. Plus there are Apex paintings and other themed items in the restaurant to localize the place a bit more (since it is a chain).

Every time my husband and I go here for breakfast we are always greeted with a warm welcome. Even if there is a wait, they are very helpful in getting us seated as quickly as possible. We had a server named Megan and she has THE BEST customer service. We will request her next time we go. Thank you Megan for giving us a great experience!

It’s hard to eat healthy food that is delicious and under $30 a plate, and this plate does all of that! So yum!

First Watch is outstanding! My husband and I stumbled upon it looking for new homes in the area to relocate. The flavor, texture and presentation surpassed my expectations. The staff was attentive and thorough! Highly recommend!
