“First Watch, a popular breakfast and brunch spot, has consistently impressed customers with its fresh and well-made food, pleasant and fast service, and inviting ambiance. The menu offers a diverse range of options, catering to different flavor preferences, from the spring special Hacienda hash to classic dishes like the BLT.
