Breakfast was great. Service was stellar - thank you Jenn! We had the SoCal Hash. One of us is gluten free so subsituted GF toast for corn tortillas as the server said the corn tortillas had wheat in them. Food was very fresh and tasty. (Note- If someone is on a low-salt diet, this particular dish might not be the best option.) Would definitely return.

I cannot say enough great things about First Watch in Fountain City! I’ll start will the fact that they have amazingly friendly and attentive staff here, they are always so accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable on the menu etc! The food is always so made to order and fresh, I love that they throw in new seasonal items to try every once in awhile as well! Their specialty drinks are also something to check out! Despite how busy they get, they keep a nice flow of customers going where it’s not an overwhelming wait and it’s always super clean here. I love that they have gluten free and vegetarian options as well! Try one of the Benny’s on GF toast! I highly recommend you check them out! 😎
