First Watch



First Watch is consistent. Every time I've been there. There is a comfort in that. They have the traditional, they have the healthy side, it is always damn good, but there are no 'shizams',nothing to wow you. Some mornings you just want to know that you can lazily walk into a place, know exactly what you are eating and order it exactly how you want it. Some mornings you don't want to be that into your meal, you just want to eat it in peace and read your paper, work on your emails (there is free wi-fi here), meet with your freinds, or have a business meeting. First Watch is your joint.

Their omelet choices are surprisingly creative and span the globe (well, the American version of global foods). Also, they use cage-free eggs if you are concerned about the chickens. Along with the delectable breakfast classics (chocolate chip pancakes made from scratch, you know, for the kids), First Watch is one of the only breakfast specific places that offers actually healthy options. If that is your cup of tea, then you definitely need to go here. They serve egg white only, plain oatmeal, fresh fruit, veggies, etc. They offer all of the nutritional information and ingredients for every menu item on their website and in the restaurant. The little page icon next to the item will bring up a page with the nutritional info. Great for special dietary needs or allergies.

For you coffee-holics they have Sunrise Select Coffee. I've never heard of it, but I'm no coffee maven.

They also have a Sunday Brunch. I've never been but hear its good. (Have you been to it? Want to be published?! Contact me and lets arrange it!)

The Cereal Bowl

EXTRA!! EXTRA!! Read all about it!

Ok, I am breaking some of the rules of this blog today to bring you some exciting news. "The Cereal Bowl", an all cereal cafe chain in Delaware and New Jersey, has just arrived on our door step... well, almost our doorstep. Yes, unfortunately a visit to the clever cafe requires a drive into DC, traffic and all. But it's an ALL CEREAL cafe!!

They offer crazy cold cereal mixtures (a la Cold Stone Creamery) and hot cereal mixers as well as yogurt parfaits, "Oaties", and fro-yo cereal topped treats. They also offer lactaid milk and soy milk for dietary restrictions. Their website is very funny, as you crunch your way through each tab, but I've never been to the cafe myself. If you go, PLEASE review it and let me know! I'll publish you!
