A bit more than a year ago, it was reported that a Florida-based chain of breakfast and lunch spots would be expanding to Boston, and now we have learned that it is up and running.
According to a press release, First Watch is now open in the Back Bay, moving into a space on Boylston Street near the corner of Fairfield Street. This is the second location to open in the local area, as another outlet opened in Hanover in the early part of 2025, and both locations offer such items as eggs benedict, breakfast tacos, waffles, pancakes, French toast, steak and eggs hash, breakfast bowls, salads, and sandwiches.
The address for First Watch in the Back Bay is 777 Boylston Street, Boston, MA, 02116. The website for the chain is at https://firstwatch.com/
