First Watch is always a reliable place to hit after a night of binging or a moderate bout of dysentery, as you can always expect the food to be bland but healthful. Barely anything on the menu is slathered in grease, which is a nice change from some of FW's competitors. I'm not totally slamming the place: I actually like the combos they offer in terms of the sweet-savory equilibrium that's so important to me when breakfast is concerned. The retirement home-style pastels are soothing, too. You might expect Dorothy, Rose, and Blanche to sit down in the booth next to you at any moment.
A big FW plus is that generous seating ensures that there are barely any times when you have to wait to be seated for breakfast or lunch. So if you can't get a seat at nearby Matt's Big Breakfast or the Park Central Good Egg, consider this egg joint.
