First Watch Menu With Prices (Updated)

First Watch Menu Prices at a Glance

First Watch is a daytime cafe and that is not marketing language, it is the operating model. The doors open at seven in the morning and close at half past two in the afternoon, seven days a week. There is no dinner service anywhere in the chain and there never has been, which is why the kitchen can prep fresh each morning rather than holding food through a long day.

Prices below are in restaurant figures checked across several states in 2026. First Watch runs a mix of company owned and franchise cafes and prices are fairly consistent, with city centre and high rent sites running a little above the national middle. Delivery adds roughly 30 percent on top.

First Watch Hours and Why There Is No Dinner

This is the thing people search most and the answer is simple. Every First Watch in the country runs the same hours and closes in the early afternoon.

Weekend mornings between about 9am and noon are the busiest hours of the week and waits regularly run past forty minutes. The app waitlist is the only real way around it, and joining before you leave the house rather than on arrival is what makes the difference.

Classic Breakfasts

The core plates are eggs, potatoes, a meat and toast in various combinations. Two Eggs Your Way at around 370 calories is the lightest full breakfast on the menu and the cheapest.

Tri-Fecta is the one to know if you cannot decide. A pancake, an egg and a choice of breakfast meat on one plate, which is how most people would order anyway if the menu let them mix.

Pancakes, Waffles and French Toast

Pancakes here are multigrain rather than plain buttermilk and they are sold singly as well as in pairs, which is unusual and useful. One pancake at $7.49 is a genuine option rather than a side.

Syrup is served on the side rather than poured, and it is not counted in the calorie figures above. A full pour adds roughly 200 calories.

Omelets and Frittatas

The frittatas are baked rather than folded, which makes them a different dish from the omelets despite sitting in the same section. The Smoked Salmon frittata at around 520 calories is the lightest thing in this part of the menu.

Bacado is bacon and avocado, which is where the name comes from, and it is the most ordered omelet in the chain. Every omelet comes with a choice of potatoes or fresh fruit and toast, so the side you pick moves the plate by a couple of hundred calories at no difference in price.

Egg-sclusives

This is the part of the menu that is not eggs on a plate. The Chickichanga is a breakfast chimichanga with chicken chorizo, and the avocado toast comes in two versions.

Power Bowls and Healthier Plates

This section is the reason a lot of people choose First Watch over a diner. The AM Super Foods Bowl at around 400 calories is a real breakfast rather than a compromise, and the Power Wrap is the lightest hot dish on the menu.

Lunch Sandwiches

The lunch menu joins the breakfast menu from 11am and both stay available until close. You do not have to choose between them, which is the point of a daytime cafe.

The BLTE is a BLT with a fried egg added, which is the sandwich that gives away what kind of restaurant this is.

Salads

All four salads sit in the same price band and all of them are full lunch portions. The Superfood Kale Salad at around 440 calories is the lightest full meal on the entire menu.

Million Dollar Bacon

This is the item First Watch is known for and it is worth understanding before you order it. Thick cut bacon is baked with brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne and maple syrup until the sugar sets into a glaze. It is sweet, hot and salty at the same time and it is nothing like ordinary bacon.

Sides and Add-Ons

Every plate comes with a side already, so this list is for additions. Fresh fruit and grits are the two lightest things on it by a distance.

Fresh Pressed Juices

The juices are pressed in the cafe rather than poured from a carton, which is why they cost more than orange juice at a diner. Kale Tonic and Morning Meditation are the two that regulars order.

Coffee and Drinks

Hot coffee is bottomless. The coffee itself runs under the Project Sunrise name, which is First Watch’s sourcing programme built around women producers in the coffee supply chain.

Alcohol is not served at every cafe. Whether a location pours mimosas and bloody marys depends on the local licence, so check before you plan a brunch around it.

First Watch Kids Menu

The kids menu covers children ten and under. Portions are genuinely small rather than a shrunken adult plate.

The Seasonal Menu

First Watch changes part of its menu roughly five times a year rather than running limited time offers alongside a fixed board. A block of dishes comes off and a new block goes on, which is why a favourite can disappear without warning.

The core menu stays put. Classics, omelets, the griddle items, the power bowls, the sandwiches and salads are all permanent. What rotates is a handful of seasonal plates, one or two seasonal juices and the seasonal coffee drinks, typically built around whatever fruit is in season. If you are going for something you saw online, check the current menu first, because a seasonal item from three months ago will not be there.

How to Order at First Watch for Less

Join the waitlist through the app before you leave the house rather than at the door. It costs nothing and on a weekend morning it is the difference between sitting down at 9:15 and sitting down at 10.

Take the bottomless coffee at $3.89 rather than iced coffee or cold brew, which are not bottomless and cost more. Order one Million Dollar Bacon for the table rather than one each, since it is a $5.99 side on top of your plate rather than part of it. And remember every breakfast already comes with a side, so choosing fresh fruit over potatoes costs nothing and saves around 300 calories.

If you want the cheapest full plate, Two Eggs Your Way at $10.49 is it, and one multigrain pancake at $7.49 is the cheapest thing on the menu that counts as a meal.

First Watch Nutrition Notes

This is an unusually easy menu to eat well from, which is not something worth saying about most breakfast chains. The AM Super Foods Bowl at around 400 calories, the Superfood Kale Salad at 440, the Power Wrap at 480 and the Smoked Salmon Frittata at 520 are all full plates rather than side portions, and the kitchen works from fresh prep each morning rather than holding food.

The heavier end is still there. Lemon Ricotta Pancakes are around 1,000 calories before syrup, the Farmhouse Hash is 950, and Million Dollar Bacon adds 340 as a side on top of whatever you already ordered. The single easiest change is the included side, since swapping potatoes for fresh fruit takes roughly 300 calories off any plate at no cost. On sodium, the hash dishes and the cured meats carry the most, and the power bowls and salads carry the least.
