The Traditional Breakfast
The Traditional Breakfast at First Watch is the gold standard of morning meals — a timeless, fully customizable plate built around two eggs cooked exactly to your preference. Pair them with your choice of breakfast meat, then round out the plate with seasoned potatoes or fresh seasonal fruit, and finish with your choice of toast or an English muffin. No frills, no shortcuts — just a proper, satisfying breakfast executed with the quality and care that First Watch is known for. It is the plate you come back to again and again, because sometimes the classic is all you need.
The Traditional Breakfast has anchored the First Watch menu since the very beginning. It remains one of the most consistently ordered dishes at every location nationwide — a testament to the power of doing the basics extraordinarily well. With its fully customizable build and use of fresh, never-frozen ingredients, it is the plate that earns the trust of first-time guests and keeps regulars coming back every single week.

Allergens And Nutrition Information
- Contains EggsContains Gluten / WheatContains DairyContains Pork✓ Nut-Free✓ Shellfish-Free
In its standard build, The Traditional Breakfast contains eggs, wheat (gluten) from the toast, and dairy from the butter used in cooking. The default meat choice of bacon and sausage contains pork. If you select the ham option, this is also a pork product. Turkey sausage is available as an alternative for guests avoiding pork.
Gluten-free option: Guests who require a gluten-free build can substitute the standard toast for a gluten-free bread option (available at most locations for a small upcharge) and select the fresh fruit side instead of seasoned potatoes, which are cooked in a shared pan. Always inform your server of any gluten sensitivity or celiac requirements before ordering.
