I don’t know why it took so long for this sandwich to come out… but I am OBSESSED.
It’s my favorite new item on the new on the first watch seasonal menu.
But don’t worry, we are going to try every single item and see if it’s as good as it looks.
First the Bacon. Egg. Cheddar. Sandwich - The B.E.C
My favorite item on the entire menu. It’s basically a rainbow sandwich of everything I love layered together in the best way. The peppers and the aioli are doing something very serious here — like, I caught myself thinking about it again after I finished it. It’s not a basic breakfast sandwich at all. Also… look at the cute little pick holding it together. I would order this again without hesitation with zero regrets.
Now, Pineapple Express
I am not a pineapple girl. So when I tell you I was surprised, I was surprised.
This drink is so fresh! The mint pineapple rim is creative, beautiful, and actually adds to the experience instead of just being there for looks. The coconut water makes it feel light and different — not overly sweet, not heavy. Honestly… give me ten of these.
Next, Blueberry Lemon Cornbread
This is not your typical cornbread.
The cinnamon sugar already had me, but then there’s the lemon butter on top — and wow. That’s the moment. It’s bright, it’s spreadable, sour. I would come back just for this. So worth your time.
If you’ve never had first watch French toast, I want you to know that it is top-tier. The perfect consistency covered a maple syrup. But this one, it has whipped cream, strawberries, and it is incredible.
Last, the Chimichurri Steak & Eggs Hash This was my second favorite bite of the day… and it was a close second.
The steak was perfect, the peppers added so much FLAVOR and the bowl itself was huge. It’s filling, satisfying, and yummy in every single bite. I’m pretty sure I’ve found my go-to daily meal at First Watch. First Watch First Watch - National Ave
