Daytime Café continues rich tradition in Cincinnati with new Harrison Greene location
First Watch, the nation’s leading Breakfast, Brunch and Lunch concept, today announced plans to open its 10th Cincinnati-area location in spring 2015. The new Harrison Greene restaurant will continue the tradition First Watch has established as the region’s go-to daytime café since opening its first Cincinnati-area restaurant in Kenwood in 1991.
“Since opening our first restaurant more than 30 years ago, we’ve worked hard to offer a menu and atmosphere that is unique and positions us as the nationwide leader in our category,” states Chris Tomasso, chief marketing officer for First Watch. “The Cincinnati region has played an important role in making this a reality, and we are excited to come to Harrison Greene.”
The Harrison Greene First Watch will be located at 5661 Harrison Avenue in the northwest end cap of the Harrison Greene shopping center. The new 3,813-square-foot restaurant will feature a patio for outdoor dining and employ approximately 25 people. First Watch currently has restaurants in Kenwood, Downtown Cincinnati, Covington, Hyde Park, Anderson, Harper’s Station, Union Centre, Princeton Plaza and Crestview Hills.
Taking freshness to heart, First Watch offers 100% fresh-squeezed Orange Juice, house-made granola, and salsa, house-roasted vegetables and looks to source produce locally whenever possible. In addition to serving fresh, delicious entrées, First Watch offers its exclusive Sunrise Select Premium Blend Coffee. The special blend is made from slow-roasted, hand-selected, high-grown coffee beans from mountains across North, Central and South America.
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.
