We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so why not kick start the morning with a hearty yet healthy offering?
The folks at First Watch are on a mission to change the way you feel about the day’s first meal.
With nearly 600 restaurants located across the country, the brand shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon. (The West Palm Beach location we recently visited was their 50th Florida restaurant when it opened here back in 2016).
Named after the nautical term referring to the first shift of the day, First Watch prides itself on offering everything from traditional staples (think two cage-free eggs served any style with your choice of bacon, smoked ham, chicken apple sausage patties, turkey or pork sausage links served with whole grain artisan toast, and seasoned potatoes) to more adventurous dishes like Chickichanga made with whipped eggs, spicy, all-natural chicken breast, chorizo, green chiles, cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, onions, and avocado rolled in a flour tortilla.
Sure, there is a cup of fresh hot coffee available, but why not try a mint mocha or honey caramel crunch iced coffee to start the day off right?
The breakfast, brunch, and lunch concept is also well known for its freshly made juices like Kale Tonic and Morning Meditation that can be kicked up with a wellness shot of antioxidant-rich vitamins.
They also offer a variety of morning cocktails, including a Million Dollar Bloody Mary, Spiked Lavendar Lemonade, and Pomegranate Sunrise. A pitcher of Blackberry Bramble Sangria made with merlot, mixed berries and apple with a squeeze of orange and lime is designed for two or more guests to share.
What makes First Watch really stand out is their “Healthier Side” menu options that include everything from egg white omelets and an A.M. superfoods bowl to their signature avocado toast and power wrap.
The Classic Benedict featured two poached cage-free eggs atop toasted ciabatta topped with smoked ham, tomato, and hollandaise sauce served with lemon-dressed organic mixed greens.
Their Million Dollar Bacon is an absolute must-try staple here. The sweet and savory signature dish features four strips of crispy smoked bacon baked with brown sugar, black pepper, and cayenne topped with a maple syrup drizzle.
Other savory offerings we look forward to trying on a return visit include a farmhouse hash, an Italian-inspired omelet, lemon ricotta pancakes, and a power breakfast quinoa bowl.
First Watch is located at 1703 Palm Beach Lake Boulevard in West Palm Beach, Florida.
