First Watch

This is officially my hubby's favorite breakfast place, and a close second for me. Try the specialty bacon ... maple syrup and yummy salty pork is the best way to start your meal. They have really spectacular specialty items and seasonal dishes. And they also have tons of gluten-free options. There can be a wait on weekends, so plan accordingly. It can get a little loud inside. The outdoor patio is better for conversation if you want to hear your companions, but the outdoor space is adjacent to the parking lot and exposed to the elements (it snows here). But overall, this is a great breakfast place with big servings of traditional breakfast for meat-and-potatoes lovers like hubby, and fancy pants specialty breakfasts for high-maintenance, gluten-free weirdos like me. Yummy!

I was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease and this was my first time ordering in a restaurant. Our server Lee was extremely kind, understanding and knowledgeable about my dietary restriction! It made the experience much less stressful!
