I know most of my blog entries are on lunch and dinner, and that’s because I rarely go out for breakfast. First Watch in West Boynton Beach was highly rated on Yelp, and I had a craving for Floridian French toast, so I decided to give it a shot for brunch.
I ordered French toast on brioche bread with wheat germ, topped with powdered cinnamon sugar, and fresh, sliced bananas, strawberries and kiwis. It came with a side of raspberry marmalade, but I skipped on it. It was just perfect, but was better with syrup. The healthiness of the fresh fruit balanced out the unhealthiness of the syrup.
Morning Meditation
I washed it down with a fresh Morning Meditation juice, a limited-time offering containing orange, beet, lemon, turmeric, organic ginger and agave nectar.
A Mix of Traditional and New Dishes
On the website, you’ll see photos for every dish, which helps take out the guesswork. They have everything from traditional dishes like eggs benedict, omelets, and frittatas; to innovative ones like a chickichanga, elevated egg sandwich, and lemon ricotta pancakes. All eggs are cage free.
You can find all of their nutrition facts on the website, which makes calculating calories a breeze, and you can even choose your dishes with maple or sugar-free syrup. Floridian French toast clocks in at 1,040 calories, 29 grams of protein, 16 grams of fat, 194 grams of carbs, 1200 milligrams of sodium, and 74 grams of sugar. Time to hit the treadmill!
A Wooden, Spacious Interior
You can eat outside, or dine in the spacious interior, where wooden floors make for a down-home, convivial atmosphere. The “Boynton, FL” painting looked really cool. I thought it was cute that “This is how we brew it” was written on the blackboard, which is a nod to one of the most famous party anthems of the 90’s.
