First Watch Alexandria
Welcome to First Watch Alexandria! Located at 7027C Manchester Blvd in Alexandria, VA, this vibrant breakfast and brunch café specializes in American cuisine, making it a beloved destination for morning meals. With the phone number (202) 894-7614, reservations and inquiries are just a call away. First Watch Alexandria prides itself on offering a warm atmosphere filled with delightful dishes that cater to a variety of palates.
One of the standout features of this brunch haven is its impressive selection from the Griddle. The Multigrain Pancakes are a must-try — described as "humongous," these fluffy bites can serve as a satisfying start to your day. For those looking to indulge a bit more, the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes elevate the classic with whipped ricotta, making every forkful a creamy delight.
Moving onto the Egg-sclusives, the Chickichanga is particularly noteworthy. This savory dish combines whipped eggs with spicy, all-natural chicken breast, chorizo, and more, all wrapped in a flour tortilla and topped with Vera Cruz sauce. It’s a flavor explosion that pairs wonderfully with their fresh, seasoned potatoes. Be mindful that these potatoes are cooked with onions, so customize your dish accordingly!
No brunch experience is complete without a refreshing drink. Try their signature Mint Mocha Iced Coffee, topped with sweet cream cold foam and chocolate chips, or opt for the Honey Caramel Crunch for a sweet treat. Both beverages promise to elevate your taste experience and provide that much-needed caffeine boost.

“ Purple haze drink is amazing. Floridian French toast is perfect. Wish they offered whole bean coffee vs grounded ”
“ Just the wife and I having breakfast on a Sunday. Place was absolutely packed just after 10am. The host said the wait would be 45 minutes to an hour. After about 15 minutes we noticed the outdoor seating area was vacant. The host was amicable and gave us a table and even made sure we were waited on promptly. Our server, Chris was very kind and enthusiastic. I was surprised to see that our meals and starters were served in a little over ten minutes, despite the volume of guests. The food was the best breakfast Ive had in a long while. I hope we return more frequently. ”
“ When our normal breakfast place was closed on Sundays Grandmas Famous Cafe we came here to eat. They had all new breakfast items so we tried them. The Blue Booster juice, Parmesan Prosciutto Toast, Raspberry Ricotta French Toast, and we got an order of the Million Dollar Bacon. Our server was awesome! Everything was delicious ”
“ Excellent food and service. Highly recommend Zafirah as your server! Super friendly and accommodating. The farmhouse hash was super tasty and filling. Also recommend trying out their pancakes. Always have been a fan of First Watch and still am today! ”
“ Great experience. The staff is friendly and efficient. Sad to see the seasonal juices arent around anymore but the food is quality. ”
“ Super excited they opened this location as its so close to home. Stopped by with my daughter yesterday to try it out, even though it was busy, we got seated right away. Our server asked for our drinks instantly and brought them out. The food was delicious and very flavorful. The only thing would be that our server forgot about us for the rest of our time there until he brought the check didnt offer any to go boxes. Over all though the customer service was great and friendly. Will definitely be back. ”
“ Had the salmon fritada and the salmon was good and I really loved the sun dried tomatoes. The side of potatoes were good. I also had their chocolate chip multigrain pancakes and it was excellent and didnt taste too grainy. The syrup was also served warm. I also had their kale tonic juice and its very good. Having said all that, would I wait 20 minutes for a table? No, Id just go elsewhere. But for solo diners and maybe couples, there are around a dozen seats at the counter which are first come first served, so if available, you dont have to wait. ”
“ We got the seasonal Parmesan Prociutto Toast, Biscuits Gravy, and a large Pancake Sausage for our almost 3 year old. It was all fantastic. Please make the Parmesan Prociutto Toast a regular on the menu! Its the best breakfast Ive ever had in my life! Lol I think the garlic aioli is what took it over the top! ”
