I've been coming to First Watch for years; it's my go-to spot for breakfast/brunch. The menu is big, with lots of healthy options, but also indulgent ones (pumpkin pancakes!). They have great specials that are always changing. Today they had a bunch of delicious sounding Thanksgiving specials; I ordered a quinoa bowl with butternut squash, dried cranberries, goat cheese, and pecans. They were super accommodating: I asked to get it without chicken (I'm a vegetarian), and our waitress told me the quinoa is usually cooked with chicken stock, and asked if I'd like it cooked with water instead. I was very impressed!
Service is great as well. It's often quite busy on weekends (we had a 20 minute wait), but they have complimentary coffee while you wait so I don't mind at all. The staff is always friendly but efficient. The food comes really fast. The prices are good too (but maybe I just think that because I like in new york now..)
I'm sure I'll still be coming back for years to come!
