First Watch is an award-winning breakfast, brunch and lunch spot, serving a chef-driven menu of elevated classics and seasonal specialties, always made to order using the freshest ingredients. We greet the sunrise by slicing and juicing fresh fruits and vegetables, whipping French toast batter from scratch and brewing pots of our single-origin Project Sunrise coffee. Freshness is never comprised, which is why we welcome each season into our menu with ingredients and flavors inspired by the position of the sun. All year long, you can enjoy craveable favorites like Avocado Toast for breakfast, Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict for brunch and Lemon Ricotta Pancakes for lunch. Whether you start at the crack of dawn or not, we’ll leave that up to you!
Cafe chain for health-minded breakfast, brunch & lunch options such as omelets, salads & soups.

So happy this location is finally open, I had the pleasure of attending the pre-opening and everything was amazing! The food was delicious, we had great service, and I love the atmosphere of this location, it’s beautiful inside. I’m looking forward to my next visit and sitting outside on the patio when the weather is warmer. I had the Market Hash and it was amazing! Everyone in my group enjoyed the food, coffee, juices, and overall experience. Thank you! We will be back.

Wha a wonderful addition to Manassas!! Friendly service, easy wait list with the app, and good experience all around!! The place is beautifully decorated with nice light ambiance. There’s an outdoor patio which will be great when it’s warmer.
I stopped in for breakfast at the bar. Ysmael was so helpful and friendly! The food is fresh and delicious. The Honey Caramel Crunch iced coffee is so yummy without being overly sweet. The dishes are well-seasoned and delicious!
Definitely come check it out and enjoy this wonderful new restaurant!!

We visited First Watch with a large group of six, and the experience was seamless from start to finish. Finding a spot that handles a bigger party well can be a gamble, but they nailed it.
The Food: Absolutely delicious. Everything from the Million Dollar Bacon to the Avocado Toast arrived fresh and flavorful. Even with six different orders, every dish was high-quality and consistent.
The Service: Our server was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and managed our table’s needs without a hitch. We never felt rushed, even though the restaurant was buzzing.
If you’re looking for a reliable spot for a group brunch where the food actually lives up to the hype, this is it. We’ll definitely be back!
