The Daytime Café Is Again Participating In Dine Out For No Kid Hungry

September 05, 2018 // Franchising.com // BRADENTON, Fla. - First Watch, the award-winning leading breakfast, brunch and lunch concept, announced the launch of its Fall seasonal menu. In conjunction with the launch, the restaurant company will increase its contribution to Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign by donating 10 cents for every Pumpkin Pancake Breakfast sold in its restaurants during September. The company’s Pumpkin Pancake Breakfast has proven to be a highly anticipated Fall seasonal menu item.

Throughout the year, First Watch donates 25 cents from every kid’s meal sold to the No Kid Hungry campaign, which has provided more than 775 million meals to hungry kids since 2010, according to Share Our Strength.

First Watch’s limited-time Fall menu features creative new dishes alongside returning customer favorites. Customers can find the following seasonal offerings in addition to the traditional breakfast, brunch and lunch favorites at their local First Watch* for a limited time:

• Million Dollar Bacon - Four slices of our signature hardwood smoked bacon baked with brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne and a maple syrup drizzle.

With the introduction of its new Fall menu, First Watch has also expanded its Juice Bar, bringing a refreshing new Fall drink to the table:

• NEW Pomegranate “Mule” - Pomegranate, lime, organic ginger and natural cane sugar.

The 2018 Fall offerings will be available until Sunday, November 4, and will be followed by a holiday seasonal menu.
