“Pittsburgh has been a wonderful home for First Watch for the past decade, and we are so pleased to be able to give back to the families in our community in such a meaningful way,” said Chris Tomasso, president of First Watch. “The idea of supporting such a fantastic pediatric medical facility like Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh really resonated with our managers and staff at all five of our restaurants, and we’re honored to have the opportunity to be a part of the foundation’s commitment to building healthy families in the Pittsburgh community and across the country.”
First Watch’s curated menu takes an elevated approach to traditional and innovative offerings made to order using farm fresh ingredients. It includes crave-able items such as Avocado Toast, Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict, Farm Stand Breakfast Tacos and Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. The restaurants offer healthy, flavorful favorites like house-made granola and pico de gallo, organic greens, house-roasted vegetables, cage-free eggs and 100% fresh-squeezed orange juice as well as more indulgent, traditional breakfast, brunch and lunch offerings.
The First Watch restaurants in Pittsburgh also offer options from the eatery’s Fresh Juice Bar – including the best-selling Kale Tonic – juiced in-house daily using only the highest quality fruits and vegetables. They serve the brand’s exclusive Sunrise Select Premium Blend Coffee, made from slow-roasted, hand-selected, high-grown coffee beans from mountains across North, Central and South America, by the pot.
First Watch serves its entire menu seven days a week from 7 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. The restaurant also offers customers complimentary newspapers and free Wi-Fi Internet access.
