🥰Breakfast/brunch spot 🌸

You know that feeling when you find the perfect brunch spot? That's exactly how I feel about First Watch! My last visit was such a treat, and I just had to share more about why it's become one of my absolute favorites. It's more than just a meal; it's an experience. Let's talk about the star of the show for me: the Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast. Honestly, it earned its 10/10 rating! Imagine thick, fluffy slices of French toast, soaked just right with that sweet tres leches goodness, then generously topped with fresh, vibrant strawberries and a dollop of airy whipped cream. It's not overly sweet, which I appreciate, and every bite is pure bliss. It’s comforting, indulgent, and truly unique. If you have a sweet tooth, this is an absolute must-try. The balance of textures and flavors is just divine, making it a perfect start to any weekend. Next up, for those who prefer something savory with a kick, the Chickichanga is a fantastic choice, scoring an 8/10. This dish is such a creative take on a classic! It's a large flour tortilla filled with tender, seasoned chicken, roasted chili, onions, and cheese, then baked and topped with a spicy sour cream and avocado. What makes it special are the sides: it comes with crispy seasoned potatoes and a fresh, colorful mix of fruit. The combination of the rich, savory filling with the fresh fruit and potatoes makes for a really satisfying and well-rounded meal. It’s hearty without being too heavy, and the slight spice adds an exciting element. And for another savory delight, the Shishito Brisket Hash, also an 8/10, is definitely worth exploring. This one is packed with flavor! Picture perfectly cooked brisket, tender and falling apart, mixed with crispy potatoes, and then topped with two perfectly poached eggs. But the real game-changer here are the pickled onions and shishito peppers – they add a fantastic tangy, slightly spicy, and smoky depth that elevates the entire dish. It's a robust and fulfilling option, perfect if you're looking for something substantial and unique for brunch. The diverse textures and bold flavors really stand out. Beyond the food, the atmosphere at First Watch is always welcoming and bright, making it a perfect spot for any brunch outing, whether you're catching up with friends or enjoying a solo treat. When planning your visit, I'd recommend going a little earlier on weekends to beat the rush, as it can get quite busy – a testament to its popularity! While the menus might vary slightly by location (like First Watch NYC, Myrtle Beach, Duluth, or Longwood), these core dishes are consistently amazing. Looking at our receipt, the total for a delicious spread of these amazing dishes was around $61.38, which I felt was great value for the quality and generous portions. They really prioritize fresh ingredients, and you can taste the difference. It’s truly a place where you can find something delicious for everyone. So, if you're ever wondering where to go for your next breakfast or brunch adventure, definitely put First Watch on your list. Their Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast alone is worth the trip, but you'll find so many other incredible options like the Chickichanga and Shishito Brisket Hash to make your morning special. You won't be disappointed!
