Bites Nearby: First Watch

is a go-to place for breakfast, brunch and lunch. Open from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. every day of the year except Thanksgiving and Christmas, you have many options. Regardless of the time of day or menu item, everything is made fresh and from scratch.

There are many favorites for breakfast. For example, The Traditional has eggs, meat, muffin and potatoes. Another good choice would be Crepeggs, a combination of crepes combined with eggs and items like turkey/avocado, mushrooms/cheese rolled inside. The Middle Griddle boasts big, really big pancakes, French toast made from different kinds of bread, or fluffy Belgian waffles. Cage-free hens lay the groundwork for all nine of the omelets.

Brunch is along the same lines with a few heartier and spicier options such as Burrito Vera Cruz and eggs Benedict. You can substitute cholesterol free eggs or egg whites any time for no extra charge.

Lunch has fresh salads, sandwiches and soups. Turkey, bacon, avocado, pecans, wontons are just some of the ingredients found on different salads made from lettuce, romaine, and spinach. The sandwiches could be a meal in themselves, but are served with either potatoes, or a bowl of soup with fresh fruit and a special salad.

Kids have their own menu with easy to eat finger food like grilled cheese. A safe bet would also be chocolate chip pancakes. You’ll never have to say, “Clean your plate” at First Watch.

A bonus for computer toting adults is free Wi-Fi, and a pot, not a cup, of coffee. There is a special promotion club and perks for the holidays. For example, on Father’s Day they are giving away a golf ball if you bring in your dad.
