Made-to-order breakfast, brunch, lunch restaurant opens first Massachusetts location

First Watch (First Watch)

HANOVER, Mass. — A popular made-to-order breakfast, brunch, and lunch chain has officially opened its first restaurant in Massachusetts.

Florida-based First Watch is now welcoming diners in Hanover Crossing at 1775 Washington Street, marking the first of several planned restaurants in New England.

“We are beyond excited to introduce First Watch’s creative approach to breakfast, brunch, and lunch in Hanover, and to be part of such a wonderful community,” Mike Lankowski, regional vice president of First Watch, said in a news release. “We look forward to becoming a place where friends and families can gather to start their day.”

First Watch is widely beloved for its made-to-order dishes that use fresh ingredients in a kitchen without heat lamps, microwaves, or deep fryers. The restaurant’s diverse menu is available daily from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and features avocado toast, farmhouse hash, lemon ricotta pancakes, and “million-dollar” bacon, as well as lunch bowls, sandwiches, and salads.

Lankowski said First Watch’s Hanover team will start each morning juicing fresh fruits and vegetables to make their signature fresh juices.

The grand opening was marked by a festive “Pancake Flipping” ceremony, led by the restaurant’s team including Lankowski and special guest State Representative DeCoste.

As the team flipped the restaurant’s first pancake, the Hanover High School cheerleaders performed a synchronized backflip, creating a memorable welcome for the restaurant to officially join the community.

The eatery spans 3,500 square feet, a covered patio, an indoor/outdoor bar, and 111 seats with an additional 26 on the patio.

The new location created 30 jobs.
