Topped with fresh sliced avocado, Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, chipotle crema and scallions. Served with fresh lime and warm wheat-corn blend tortillas. Indulge in a Big Easy-style breakfast or brunch with their Bananas Foster French Toast: flaky hand-braided Challah bread dipped in their housemade custard and topped with fresh bananas, pecans, caramel sauce and powdered cinnamon sugar. Pair it with First Watch's famous Million Dollar Bacon that's baked with brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne and a maple syrup drizzle. If you're into counting calories or pinching pennies, you'll be all about the Tri-Athlete, which crosses the finish line under ten dollars and only 550 calories! This champion's breakfast gets you an egg white omelet with house-roasted Crimini mushrooms, onions, tomatoes and green chilies; and it comes with housemade pico de gallo, whole grain artisan toast, all-natural house preserves and fresh fruit. But that's just a taste of what First Watch has to offer. Corporate Chef Shane Schaibly has his finger on the pulse of the industry, and is always keeping things fun and fresh, farm to fork. And if you're into brunching, First Watch has got you covered. Give their French Toast a try, and you'll see that Chef Schaibly and the First Watch crew definitely have your taste buds in mind with their custard-dipped, thick-cut brioche bread topped with whipped butter and powered cinnamon sugar.
