Popular beverages at First Watch includes Vodka Kale Tonic, the Million Dollar Bloody Mary, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal Milk made with cold brew, coconut rum, and agave nectar.
Hungry diners can indulge in lemon ricotta pancakes, giant Belgian waffles, healthy avocado toast, sunrise granola, acai bowls, and humongous multigrain pancakes. Visit the First Watch website for a full menu.
