First Watch Opens Newest Ohio Restaurant

The new location is First Watch’s seventh Cleveland-area restaurant

Award-winning First Watch, the nation’s leading Breakfast, Brunch and Lunch concept, will open the doors to its newest location in Macedonia on Monday. The new First Watch occupies a 3,500-square-foot space at 463 E. Aurora Road and is the company’s seventh location in the Cleveland area and the 25^th First Watch in Ohio.

“The people of Cleveland have made us feel welcome for the past 10 years since we first opened there,” said Chris Tomasso, chief marketing officer for First Watch. “We’ve decided to bring our new ‘urban farm’ interior design to the area, and we’re excited for our loyal customers in the Cleveland area to be part of this incredible period of growth and change for First Watch.”

The new restaurant design, which combines the high energy of city life with comfortable farm elements, creates a fresh atmosphere that’s sure to make every guest feel at home.

The First Watch in Macedonia will bring the company’s fresh approach to Breakfast, Brunch and Lunch with healthy, flavorful favorites like cage-free eggs, house-made granola and salsa, house-roasted vegetables and 100% fresh-squeezed orange juice. The restaurant will also serve its exclusive Sunrise Select Premium Blend Coffee, which is made from slow-roasted, hand-selected, high-grown coffee beans from mountains across North, Central and South America. The new Macedonia First Watch will also serve options from its Fresh Juice Bar, including Day Glow and Kale Tonic, freshly juiced in-house daily from only the finest fruits and vegetables.

First Watch serves its entire menu seven days a week from 7 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. The restaurant also offers guests complimentary newspapers and free Wi-Fi Internet access.
