Daytime Café Expands Beverage Program, Brings Back Millionaire’s Bacon

June 14, 2017 // Franchising.com // BRADENTON, Florida - First Watch, the popular breakfast, brunch and lunch concept, introduced three fresh, new dishes nationwide this week as part of its limited-time Summer menu. This seasonal menu, like First Watch’s traditional offerings, keeps things fresh with high-quality ingredients while introducing refreshing, mouth-watering flavors to celebrate Summer. The restaurant is also bringing back its best-selling Spring favorite - Millionaire’s Bacon.

“Beverage programs are without a doubt trending in the industry more than ever, and we’ve seen incredible growth and feedback as we continue to evolve our Fresh Juice Bar - this time with a refreshing Strawberry Smash drink for Summer,” said Shane Schaibly, First Watch’s corporate chef and vice president of culinary strategy. “We didn’t stop there - With this season’s menu, I’m so excited to introduce our new Cold Brew Coffee in addition to our three fresh juice options.”

First Watch makes fresh juices in-house daily from only the highest quality fruits and vegetables. Since the company launched its Fresh Juice Program in 2015, the restaurant has extended its offerings, which now include two permanent fixtures - Kale Tonic and Morning Meditation - and a number of seasonal additions throughout the year.
