JaNuaRY 10-16, 2021 First Watch: Start fresh this new year Y our local First Watch restaurant is the source of all things fresh, nutritious and yummy, so there's no better place to start off eating right in the new year. Now, you can indulge in a number of brand new menu items sure to please, along with the tried and true—but wholly inventive—creations that First Watch offers for breakfast, brunch and lunch. You'll love the Crab and Avocado Toast: wild caught blue crab and fresh smashed avocado on top of their whole grain artisan toast with house-pickled red onions, fresh herbs and Maldon sea salt. Served with two cage-free basted eggs. Or check out the Triple Berry Açai Bowl, featuring organic Sambazon Açai topped with fresh strawberries, blackberries, blueberries and our housemade granola. Served with whole grain artisan toast topped with almond butter and Maldon sea salt. And if healthy drinking is one of your resolutions, you can indulge in Purple Haze, blending lemon, cane sugar, butterfly pea flower tea and a hint of lavender. Every season brings new deliciousness to First Watch, and if you like spicing things up, order their Huevos Rancheros Tostadas: two crispy corn tostadas topped with fresh smashed avocado, two sunny side up cage-free eggs, chorizo, salsa verde, chive crema, Cotija, and fresh cilantro. Served with black beans and Pico de Gallo. And of course you can always get First Watch's famous Million Dollar Bacon that's baked with brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne and a maple syrup drizzle. Or try the mouth-watering Vanilla Chai Latte Pancakes with fresh sliced bananas, raspberries, maple-chai almond butter and super-seed crunch. And while First Watch may be on top of food trends, it's neither a passing trend nor a young company. Founded in 1983 by Ken Pendery, the breakfast, brunch and lunch concept has established strong roots in healthy harvesting, fresh food and compassion for community. Having both the desire to provide the best quality ingredients to its customers, and the passion for helping those less fortunate is what led the First Watch team to seek the finest ingredients from the best farmers. One such ingredient led them to the heart of Colombia, where they met the Mujeres en Café, and created a First Watch exclusive: Project Sunrise coffee. The First Watch team visits and learns from that community, and gives back in ways like improving their schools and investing in their future; and they get some of the world's best coffee in return — to give to you! "Better Coffee. Better World." That's the Project Sunrise promise. With each visit to a First Watch restaurant, you'll be greeted with a smile and a whole pot of their premium roast to start your day off right.
